Jeffrey, it's just us.
It's a sigh of relief on my part, Riley.
We've had so many. for the last two months,
we've had a guest on every episode other than bonus episodes,
which has been great.
But you and I were talking, it's nice to just chillax.
It's just nice to chillax,
like hanging out, Max, and relaxing all cool,
shooting some b-ball outside of the school.
Shooting some b-roll outside of the school. When. Shooting some b-roll outside of the school.
When a couple of cons, they came to my house.
Tried to get cash out of my aunt.
Because I was living with my aunt.
My mom got scared.
She says, you're moving in with your uncle because your aunt got divorced.
Have you ever watched my favorite TV show in the world, Hello Ladies, by Stephen Merchant?
No, but I love Merchant merchant so i should watch so there's an episode where it's like
basically stewart the main character steven merchant he tries to make friends with like
the construction guys who are working on his house who are like really like they're fucking
hard and like they live in long beach and they're like long beach is where it's fucking at dude you

this like fucked up shit in long beach and he's trying they're like so like so where are you from
man like what's your story and he just like well you know like life's been pretty crazy for me you

just you know making trouble started just, you know,
making trouble in my neighborhood,
you know,
and I,
I actually,
I got in one little fight and my mom obviously got really scared.
I said,
uh,
you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.
It's that bit is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen of gangly
ass Steven.
Just like talking the theme song to Fresh Prince
as like his life.
He's so good.
He's so good.
The thing about Long Beach,
I have a couple of friends from Long Beach.
Everyone who's from Long Beach is like,
dude, you gotta come down to Long Beach.
And I'm like, why?
It seems fine.
The only thing they have is ballast point that you
can't get in la and the aquarium and the aquarium also the queen mary's pretty trill um what should
we go to long beach in a global pandemic should we should we move to long beach i mean all you
have to do is take the the the the the 110 north up to downtown although that's not where head gum
is anymore so never mind that i that kind
of hit me what's that sorry you want to talk about the the lack of the head gum office again me when
i was falling asleep uh for me the fastest way to fall asleep is to cry myself to sleep sure it
exhausts you huh yeah and so i'll think of like the saddest shit and the other night i was thinking
about how we'll never go back to factory place well yeah jeff i guess that's the thing it's like
you gotta move the fuck on, right?
Bigger and better things.
You're recording in a basement, which is your house.
No, I know.
That's what I was saying is that it's time to move on.
What have you been up to?
Like, how are you?
I'm good, actually.
Yeah, I'm still living in the basement.
I put a little quilt up behind me to close off this studio space for audio and visual reasons.
So like when I'm zooming, I have this nice little quilted background.
And then also if I'm like recording a pod like this, there's no echo from behind me.
It's very nice.
That's the biggest development in my life.
What about you?
Had some roommate switch up, switcheroo situations.
And so the room now that kind of no one's using,
we're like, oh, are we going to turn it into a home office
slash recording slash self-tape space?
And that's absolutely what we're going to
be doing um it's a sound stage it is absolutely a sound stage of itself i have been like on
pinterest on etsy looking up like home office things and like i don't need all of these things
but god i want to have them um and thinking about the gallery wall that i'm
gonna i'm just like very excited i'm very very excited about it i have an ikea desk that i would
highly recommend if you're into the architect style i think i've sent you photos of it uh the
whole thing was like 180 bucks which is like you know pretty good price for how sturdy it is
yeah i'm in i'm in the market for just just, I don't want to get anyone worried.
Still very much living with Elizabeth Valenti,
who we should absolutely have on the pod soon.
That is not the roommate situation.
Yeah, she's like another one of the most requested guests.
My dear, dear friend,
my other pal, roommate,
she moved to the UK.
She's gone.
Before we get into today's's app we have a little surprise
it's not really a surprise but it's just kind of it's a surprise that has been teased and now it's
um released released nice that's good we have a patreon
we have patreon it's just us two.
It is not a review, review Patreon.
It is a Riley and Jeff comedy content mecca.
It's a pilgrimage to our roots in a way.
Is it wrong to say that this is our birthright to have this Patreon?
I don't think it's wrong.
I don't think it's right, but I don't think it's like...
It didn't feel right to say. Yeah. But I'm wondering if it'll fall on deaf ears it's probably
it's probably wrong it's probably wrong um but go check it out go check it out it's uh patreon.com
forward slash riley and jeff so it'll kind of force you to learn how to spell riley's name right
yeah um uh but yeah we have two tiers uh starting the first tier at $3.99 per month.
Trying to cut you guys a deal because I know that you, we've gotten a couple comments saying that obviously you guys probably, if you're subscribing to our Patreon, you probably subscribe to the Jake and Amir Patreon or the Hey Riddle Riddle or the Punch Up the Jam, et cetera, et cetera.
And at $3.99, let me pull up the tiers because i'm already forgetting what
we're promising the first the first tier is the podcat tier at 3.99 per month you will get a
monthly comedy sketch original written and performed by us or a song parody because we
might be feeling musical la la la okay well we're not doing it today obviously yeah well okay no it's just clearly you're not
feeling it today we also will be doing monthly q a happy hour style live streams where you can
ask us anything and pour yourself a drang uh you can also vote on future review review episode
topics as well as get access to all review review ad reads past and future people have been asking for
some of our old ad reads
because of how off the
rails they are you can
hear favorites like
Riley's rendition of I'm
yours by Jason Mraz or
Jeff's Pirates of the
Caribbean Fran I think
and so on and so on so
we will give you access
to our entire back
catalog of ads as well
as every future ad
because as you know, the ads do disappear after about a week or so.
We will also be launching a Patreon exclusive Discord channel.
That doesn't mean we won't be on the HeadGum Discord, but it will be a Discord that we
will probably be on more frequently and with less voices there because sometimes the HeadGum
one gets crazy.
The other tier we have is the vi podcast
tier coming in at 1999 and i know it's steep but here's what we have with it y'all here's what we
have with it we have everything on the podcast level so everything jeff just said plus a patreon
exclusive garment dyed hoodie ever heard of it riley and jeff exclusive patreon merch which is why you know
it's it's a it's a it's a couple clams more than the podcat tier um you also will get a personalized
cameo style video you get one of those per month um you also get weekly shout outs on review review
and your name in the credits of every patreon video and most importantly you get to
support two two little goo goo gaga babies and that's absolutely in the description of the vip
podcast here let's face it la is an expensive place to live we love making content for your
guys's asses uh but this will just help us be able to make even more. And if we reach 500 patrons, we will start a second podcast.
A Hallmark movie video rewatch podcast.
Yeah.
Does that make sense?
Does that even make sense?
We'll be watching Hallmark movies and talking about them.
The good ones, the bad bad ones and the fugly
ones we're watching it all
if we have 500 of you guys
per month so whether you guys
subscribe or not thank you so much
and sorry for
talking about it for so long but let's get
to let's get to today's
topic patreon is all fun
and games and what else is
all fun and games the reading of the will all fun and games? The reading of the
will at someone's
funeral when you kind of find out all the
money you get. You think, sorry, you think
that they do the reading of the will
at a funeral service? I'm saying if they did
that'd be fun. Don't pay your respects because
your respects are disrespects. It just kind
of, it feels like, uh, it feels like
Christmas to me. Funerals?
Yeah. Got it.
So I meant that we were going to talk about arcades.
Arcades.
I love an arcade.
I know.
What are your highs, lows, ups, downs, lefts, rights with arcades?
So as a kid, I used to love,
the only arcades that were around me were like the ones in movie theaters, right?
That are off to the side, et cetera, et cetera.
Also Chuck E. Cheese.
Loved them.
I loved them even more than the movies sometimes.
What were your favorite games?
Oh, you know what?
So my mom grew up in New York, so my grandparents lived, or my grandfather lived in New York.
So we would visit him like once a year.
So I'd be in New York.
And the one place I always wanted to go was ESPN Zone in Times Square.
Oh my God.
Fucker.
And that's why people go to New York.
That's the Big Apple in a nutshell.
Yeah, yeah.
There was this one game,
I don't know what it was called,
but it was like this alien,
oh, you know what?
It might've been Star Wars Phantom Menace themed
where they're like competing
in those like hover motorcycle
race and so you kind of lay down almost supine on your stomach on a thing and like you're kind of
it's a fully immersive experience god that was the only game I wanted that was that's that was
New York to me I mean none of this Broadway shit none of this Greenwich Village style. I wanted the zone, the ESPN zone.
What about you?
I know exactly the game you mean.
I mean, yes, of course, we have our movie theater arcades.
We have arcades in bowling alleys.
Yeah.
Also, we had the arcade on the Santa Monica Pier.
It's kind of like the old,
they have a lot of those old timey games.
It's exactly what you would think of
when you think like A, California,
but B, arcade.
Yeah.
And you had that not only at your fingertips,
but your disposal.
I mean, they have a photo booth in there
and I remember going with my dad and my sister
and my mom.
I have so many strips of
photos from going to that arcade sure um the ski ball the big bertha games like the I mean they had
everything there and the what big bertha you never played it's like a really old-timey game
I think it's a game where it's like I let me double check. I don't think I ever really knew how to play.
Bertha, don't you play arcade games anymore?
It's really like you're just, it's like you're throwing balls and trying to get them in big Bertha's trap, for lack of a better term.
This is a fever dream you had.
It's like, these are the games, it's like, this game is made of cloth, right?
It's like you're coming to an arcade.
What do you mean?
Oh, God.
I want to gag.
I want to choke.
I want you to throw that little bouncy ball
and hit the dangly thing at the back of my throat.
That's really good.
You should tweet that.
I don't have a history with Big Bird, though, but fine.
What I love about that arcade is that it's like,
there's also
there was also little rides
outside of it
and I have like
I fucking loved the
like little just like
you know put the coin in
and it's like
yeah yeah
things you would find
at like an ice cream store
yeah
and it's on the pier
and so it's like
it's
it's indoor
but it's also
it's like
so it's under a roof
but then there's no like
doors to it
except when they close it down so it's alfresco it's that, it's like, so it's under a roof, but then there's no like doors to it, except when they close it down.
It's that California inside, outside lifestyle.
Yeah.
Hey, AD.
I guess.
Yeah.
So that was always really nice.
So you get the smell of the sea while you're playing ski ball.
Jealous, very jealous.
We should go to that Pacific Park or whatever it's called, or just the arcade with friends when this is all over.
Yeah, it's a very fun time.
I really enjoy it.
I love an arcade.
That and also Button Mash in Echo Park.
Yeah, nowadays it's barcades.
It's really, really cool.
Again, though, I think we talked about this on our episode of High and Mighty,
which if you haven't checked that out,
go listen to our episode of Gabrus' show, High and Mighty.
We get cozy! We talk about
coziness and it was one of my
favorite, I think it was my favorite show I've ever guested
on. It was really fun.
Hopefully Amir hears that and kind of
is hurt slash steps his game up.
But the food at Button Mash is really
good. The food, I think Button Mash
it's a better, it's even, it's a restaurant.
Yeah, the fries, the garlic noodles. All that to say say arcades are the best um they're super super fun did you did you
care about like winning prizes really like i'm gonna fucking get tickets i'm gonna fucking like
win a win a super bouncy ball or like a tiny plastic dino no because i mean the whole thing
was i had my sights set higher you know my expectations weren't a little bouncy ball i don't care for a
little plush doll right i want a rolex you know i want that roly-poly i want that don't call it a
roly-poly i want that that that's that that that that that ice that that that jewelry stuff i want
that roly-poly that ice that jewelry stuff And they didn't have that behind the counter, no matter how many tickets.
Obviously.
But they had like PS3s.
Are you shitting me?
They didn't have that at my local Solon bowling lanes in Ohio?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.
And it felt like, to me, it felt like that ball felt like a PS3.
Did you play to win?
No.
I played to win the game.
But like the tickets were kind of, you know, meaningless.
Yeah.
Um, I wanted to feed big Bertha.
I absolutely did.
It was more compulsion to make sure that Bertha was satisfied.
If any, God, I miss being out.
Should we take a break?
Yeah.
Let me cry for a second.
All right.
All right.
This is one star.
I feel like we haven't had a one star in a while.
One star for all amusement fun center in Burbank. I never trust anything when it's called a fun center.
This is from Mark H.
What's his last name?
Hamill.
This is from Luke Skywalker himself.
One star, all amusement fun center.
This place is really fun, but the workers here are very annoying.
When I went in, an older man approached me and told me about all the prizes
and gave me tips on how to win.
And I was like okay i swear
this man was bugging me a lot every every three minutes he would tell me something like a tip
i left because he was bugging me too much all amusement fun center well guess what i don't
have any fun at all oh my god welcome to all. Let me know if you need anything.
My name is Jauntle, and you can address me by that name.
I have some tips for you.
Pinball?
Why don't you shake the machine so the ball goes where you want it?
All right.
Thank you, Jauntle.
I am Tim.
No, it's not cheating.
Is that what you're going to say?
It's not cheating.
It's gaming the system. Well, what you're going to say? It's not cheating. It's just gaming the system.
Well, I wasn't going to say that.
I was just going to say
I'm here with my two girls
and they really love playing it
the way that you play.
If you lose, you lose.
If you win, you win.
So thank you so much.
Thank you.
We'll take our coins from you.
If you lose,
your father won't call you back.
Excuse me?
Oh, sorry.
Nothing.
Yeah, you guys have fun.
You guys have fun. i'm here if you need
me perfect again thank you so much cut to we're playing and girls are like oh man oh we lost it's
okay honey here here's another coin just try again all right pulling it back
oh man i lost again you lost again oh god oh sorry did i scare sorry, did I scare you? Hey, John, a little bit.
Yeah, it was a little jarring, John.
Sorry, didn't mean to, didn't mean to.
I can't help but notice that you guys are running out of quarters.
We are, and, you know, we had it.
And my wife says, hey, that's your limit for tonight.
You know, it's like we kind of feel like it's like Vegas here.
So we might head out in a little bit.
We probably have time for like one or two more games.
Right, girls?
We don't want to go.
I know, I know.
But you got school in the morning. You know, they got A's on their English papers. have time for like one or two more games right girls we don't want to go i know i know but you
had school in the morning you know they got they got a's on their on their english papers so i take
them here whenever we get good grades for you know good night i have a feeling that if you
pull back the little pinball thing a little bit harder and then again just sort of shake the
machine it'll get you exactly where you need to be
and you'll never fail.
And you'll never fail.
And I'll show you how to turn this quarter.
Takes a quarter from behind the kid's ear.
And turn it into this.
Like does a sleight of hand magic trick
and pulls out a PS4.
Oh my God.
That's right.
My daughters throw up.
Oh my God.
How did you do that?
That was insane. I'll be behind the i'll be behind
the prize counter if you need me again john toll john toll or john john toll you're saying
different things i misspoke you misspoke your name are you single i have a wife um i have a
life do you work here what's that you work here right you absolutely like you're employed i
volunteer you volunteer and i don't mean this to brag i just want to explain my situation What's that? You work here, right? You absolutely, like, you're employed? I volunteer. You volunteer.
And I don't mean this to brag.
I just want to explain my situation.
I was a very successful venture capitalist.
Invested in Dell in the 90s and sold out big.
I really did.
And now I'm a philanthropist.
Dad, I didn't want to listen to his story.
She starts shaking it.
Shaking it.
He was right.
I won.
I won big, Dad.
Oh, my.
Yeah, you really did.
And you won by just, not by skill or fun, just by shaking it, didn't you?
Didn't you?
Thanks, Jauntle.
Thanks, Jauntle.
You're welcome.
The tickets keep coming out.
Oh, they're not stopping.
Oh, my God.
How many of these do I need for a PS5?
Jontle leans down to talk to her at her level.
Let me tell you something, kid.
Life isn't about winning fairly.
It's about the ends justify the means.
Okay.
Holly, come here.
We're going to back away a little bit.
Oh, my God.
Best you can tell.
Angel round.
And it was sort of a, let me take a chance on these nerdy white guys.
They might have something.
And they had something.
And I'm made out with billions.
Sorry, my other little girl, she's starting to climb on top of the prizes in the back.
No, she's done it.
She's found out that she can just grab the prizes because I'm not behind the counter.
Daddy, look, I got a teddy. Oh, my God. No, Lily, we're going to go put that. She's done it. She's found out that she can just grab the prizes because I'm not behind the counter.
Daddy, look, I got a teddy.
Oh, my God.
No, Lily, we're going to go put that.
I'm so, so sorry about her.
Don't be sorry.
She figured it out.
She's cheating her way into having it,
which is like as long as you have it, it doesn't matter how you got it.
Well, no, she's stealing.
She's stealing the prizes from the back,
which is not okay.
I don't want that to be a lesson that I'm teaching to my kids.
Can I ask you something? Oh, my God. Your your wife you said you had a wife i have a wife
yeah did you guys meet when you were both single um girls why don't you play big bertha all right
what do you know don't know anything did you did you know i mean i mean my subscript my
subscription sorry my suspicions are confirmed i'm just saying that you know you're not like the goody two-shoes that you're trying to make yourself out to be, right?
Like, the ends justified the means.
You ended up marrying the dame.
But she was obviously a Michael or a Peter before.
And you were Mr. Steal Your Girl.
So, sorry.
I have like a nephew and he really teaches me things.
She was with my brother.
All right?
She was with my brother, Michael Peter.
I can't believe you knew his name. Lucky guess. That's really... She was with my brother, all right? She was with my brother, Michael Peter. I can't believe you knew his name.
Lucky guess.
That's really...
She was with my brother, Michael Peter.
Damaging.
It was absolutely damaging.
We don't talk anymore, he and I.
And I don't want my girls to know.
They can't know, all right?
They can't know that they even have an Uncle Michael Peter, okay?
Uncle Michael Peter has never come to Christmas.
Uncle Michael Peter has never sent him a birthday card.
Uncle Michael Peter texts my wife, Sandy, every year on her birthday.
And that's the only contact we have with him.
I don't know why I'm telling you all of this, but I feel like-
It's because you feel comfortable because I foster an environment where you can, you
know, again, share your experience.
And again, look for you.
That's not it.
I don't feel comfortable with you.
So what's different about you stealing your brother's wife
than your daughter stealing a teddy bear
or shaking a pinball machine?
They weren't married,
and I don't want my girls to turn out like me, okay?
So I can't be around you
because you're bringing out the worst in me,
and I don't want to bring out the worst in them
from being around you.
Dad, look.
We found all these tickets in a man's hands that we shoved down the stairs.
No, girls.
She?
She?
No, we gotta, girls, come here.
Now you have enough for the portable projector.
No, don't tell them about any better prizes than the fucking stuff.
The portable projector?
No, no.
We'll take it.
We absolutely will not be taking it.
Girls, where is the man now?
The man you pushed down the stairs.
I think he's either at the bottom of the stairs or he's walking slowly and limping up the stairs.
He comes out.
He's kind of shrouded in mystery and shadows.
Looks up.
It's Uncle Michael Peter.
It's you.
It's you.
Girls, why don't you go over by John?
No.
No.
They need to see this.
They really...
Let's not do this here.
Elizabeth, Leanne.
Their names are Holly and Lily.
Well, that's what I was going to name my kids with your wife.
Our wife.
No, she's not our wife.
She's my wife.
You took everything from me, Tim.
You took my wife.
You took my house. You took my house.
Come on, man.
We don't need to get into this right now.
You took my clothes.
And for what?
They fit perfectly.
They fit perfectly.
They wouldn't fit me now because guess what?
I've been binge eating, stress eating, and then going on crazy Whole30 diets for the last two years to try and win her back.
Dad, dad, who is this?
Dad, he's making me really nervous.
Is he talking about getting to mom?
What does he want from us?
Girls, girls, this man is very sick.
This man's very sick.
And he doesn't know what he's saying.
And I think we should just go home.
All right, I think we should just go home.
But dad, he looks so much like you.
It's crazy.
And I feel such, like, such, like, a father-daughter energy towards him.
Yeah, me too.
No.
No, you don't.
Michael Peter pulls out two official documents, one in each hand.
DNA tests.
They are his kids.
How? No, you made those up. This tests. They are his kids. How?
No, you made those up.
This can't be real.
It's real.
And guess what?
Jontle stands right next to him.
They say in unison, the ends justify the means.
I blackmailed a doctor to forge these DNA tests.
But legally, these hold up in any court of law.
Those kids, mine. but legally these hold up in any court of law those kids mine lily we patched things up and
she's at my house which is your house which is now my house give me your shirt i don't want to
shirt shirt shirt shirt everybody in the arcade. Shirt. Shirt. Give me your shirt, man. Shirt. Give me your shirt. My God, fine.
Fine.
Give me your shirt.
Fine here.
These are my kids.
I'm not letting you go home with my kids to my wife.
What'll it take?
What'll it take to get to the ends that I want?
What are the means that I'm going to have to do?
I don't, there's not, I'm not putting a price on my family.
Are you crazy?
Let's just say I have everything in the world.
What's your, what's your, what do you want?
There's no number.
There's no number. There's no number
that could make me give
away my family to you, Michael Peter.
Also, by the way, girls, this is my
brother, Michael Peter. You should know. You should
just know at this point. Alright, so there's no
number. There's no cash. There's no material
good. Absolutely not. I'm not a monster
like you. What about
forgiveness? What did
you just say?
If you give me your house, clothes, kids, life, wife, I'll forgive you.
You don't know how long I've waited to hear that.
Dad, what are you saying?
You're saying that you're not even going to take millions of dollars, but you'll let him forgive you.
And then you'll give us away to this person we don't know, who I guess is our dad now.
I really, I don't think I can live another day on this earth without your forgiveness, Michael Peter.
Denied.
Wait, what?
What? No, why?
Come on, kids, what? What? No, why? Come on, kids.
What?
They go along with him.
No.
No deal.
All right, quitting time.
Quitting time.
Our gate's closing.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
I don't have a home.
Michael Feeder just took my kids and my house and my wife and my life.
Where do I go?
I mean, can I at least keep my car?
I hope I still get to keep my car.
Afraid not.
Fuck.
Maybe if you hadn't been playing by the rules so much.
JonTul puts his sunglasses down.
He closes up and walks out and gets on a hog.
A Harley drives off.
Tim is left in the arcade.
Lights off. Doors locked.
Childless, wifeless,
houseless, and carless.
There's only one light on.
Right? And I'm looking right at it.
And the light to the big Bertha game
is flashing.
Guess it's just you and me now,
Bertie. Guess it's just you and me.
And that's the book.
What do you think? that was the whole book yes so we don't even get like the story of tim and his family we don't get tim
stealing michael peter's girlfriend and marrying her we just we just kind of the book is the arcade
sequence okay sorry i don't think you're getting it um the book is the arcade sequence and it's exactly what i said okay and you don't like it i just it's nothing if either you don't get it and
you don't like it or like you like it because you understand and if you don't understand then you
don't get it no i get it it's just it's nothing to me it's absolutely nothing that's not a book
it's a scene it's not a book okay it's short story. The old man in the sea was sort of like a scene because it never left the boat.
We will pay you for you to go away.
We will pay you to put this project on hold indefinitely.
Can I take it to other publishing houses?
Absolutely not.
This shouldn't be out in the world.
Deal.
And that's the book.
So it's a book about a book pitch about somebody, a brother who stole a brother's life and then the other brother gets his revenge by stealing it back?
Mm-hmm.
And then that's something, like, we read about someone pitching that, conceptualizing it and pitching it.
Yeah.
So, deal?
Yeah. People don't read might as fucking well oh i think i do um okay this is for playland arcade which is at the s Monica Pier, which is where I went as a lass. It's called Playland. Three stars from Leo Z.
Zeus.
Leo Zeus.
Okay, here we go.
Fun zone, folks walking around in flippy floppies,
towels around their neck,
quarters in their pockets,
and all hovering around that one person
who has been beating every high record
in every other arcade.
Nice.
If you play arcades, awesome.
If you don't, there's always roller coaster rides
for friends and family.
One thing I do recommend for you
is to have hand sanitizer.
At least for guys.
Some savages don't wash their hands after pee-pee time.
That's not cool.
So be prepared for cooties, LOL.
All in all, though, great spot for fun and adventures.
Romantic sceneries for selfies.
Musicians play their heart out for a buck.
Fishing crew always on deck.
Souvenirs are sold every four feet away from each other.
But most importantly, enjoy the company of the sea.
Really calm, relaxing. And if you find an empty bench to sit on, take it.
You'll love to watch the waves and the smell of the food cooking near you.
The arcade is just another spot.
Really fun until you cannot have those quarters in your pocket well spent.
They're in a men's room.
The guy walks out.
Hey, how was your pee-pee time?
Oh, man, dude, my pee-pee time was fucking good, good.
It was amazing.
Afterwards, I did a little soap soap,
did a little wash wash in the little rub-a-dub,
and then I did a little splish-splash,
got a little dry, and now I'm ready to play.
How was yours?
Yeah, no, I was joking. and now I'm ready to play. How was yours? Yeah.
No, I was joking.
It was like a bit.
Do you actually call it those things?
Do I call it pee-pee time,
rub it up, a little soapy soap,
and a little splish-splash,
and a little dry-dry?
Yeah.
No, I don't call it.
Yeah, dude, obviously.
Everyone calls it that, man.
Come on.
Cool, cool.
Elizabeth?
They're on a double date.
Hey, we ready to go?
Ken was just telling me that he had pee-pee time,
did a little soapy soap, and then a splish splash.
Yeah, well, I'm glad he did that now
before we got in a little vroom-vroom
to head to the restaurant.
Yeah, okay.
Do you need to have your pee-pee time do a little swish swash before we do the little dry dry?
And so then we can go have a little drinky drink and a little snake scent?
What are we saying?
What are we saying?
Can I talk to you for a second?
Me or Ken?
You.
My girlfriend.
Sorry.
I know that his girlfriend is your best friend from college.
But you don't have to say these crazy things is your like best friend from college, but like you
don't have to like say these crazy things to make him feel comfortable.
It's, it's weird.
And I don't like hanging out with him.
For the record, I don't like this.
And you should just hang out with, just hang out with Claire on your own.
You don't have to bring me on a double date with Ken.
Right.
We, I really, it means a lot for me to have this time all together.
And look, this is just, this is just because Clara's my best friend.
Do we even like him?
Do we like Ken?
Ken's a sweetheart.
He's a-
Look at him.
He wore,
he wore scuba feet as shoes.
The little duck feet.
He's walking in place like Daffy Duck.
He gets a little nervous in front of new people, all right?
He and Clara have only been together a couple weeks
and it would really mean a lot.
His nipples are so hard.
They're sticking out of his sheer T.
You hear him from the background going,
ooh, a little pop-pop from the nips.
It's a little chill-chill in here.
What is wrong with him?
He's like a kid.
He's a little nervous, that's all.
But look, Claire will be here in a second.
Stop.
You can't say that around Claire, all right?
So we'll have one more little drink. I'll have a straight whiskey. I'll have a scotch. I'll have a man. Stop. You can't say that around Claire, all right? So we'll have one more little drink.
I'll have a straight whiskey.
I'll have a scotch.
I'll have a man's drink, a fireplace and a glass.
What are you going to have, Ken?
Milkshake?
I don't think so, Ray.
I think that's sweet, sweet time.
And we haven't had the din-din.
So we got to have the din-din before the sweet seat.
So before we have the din-din, I'm going little uh taquique elizabeth do you do you
want a little taquique um no i'm gonna have some rose rose ro ro for me rope just ray don't look
at me like that it's bad enough that he talks this way why do you have to adopt because now i feel
like the odd man out and i'm the only sane one here. He doesn't, he clearly has no shame.
He's fine saying it no matter who says it with him.
Well, then maybe you need to take a look at yourself, right?
Are you shitting me?
Maybe you need to take a look at yourself and see why you have a lot of shame around,
around having fun with your life.
All right.
I'm not having fun.
I'm not having fun.
I know.
Oh, you're not.
We're not having fun.
Claire comes back from the bathroom

laughing is that a joke tell me that's just what they do it's just what do you what do you mean

He's wearing scuba feet, scuba shoes.
And then he's wearing pleated chinos that clearly are not hiding a diaper.
And then he's wearing a striped long-sleeved T-shirt and a hat with a spinner on it.
Well, you know what, Ray?
He's kind. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from him. Hey, Claire?
Claire, can you come? Actually,

makeup in the bathroom. I think let's leave the boys alone

This
shook me all
week long.
I'm gonna go with
I voted.
I voted early.
So, not a fun one this week, but if you can vote early, do it.
You can go to headcount.com or.org, I forget which, and check your voter registration.
And if you live in L.A. City Council District 4, vote for Nithya Raman for City Council District 4 vote for Nithya Rahman for city council.
LA City Council is responsible for a budget of $6 billion annually.
So that's crazy.
And they have equal power to the lives of Angelenos than the national government, if not more.
I wish I lived in District 4 so I could vote for Nithya.
Well, that means we have to move to fucking Beachwood Canyon.
And that's obviously an easy do.
And I am. to move to fucking beachwood canyon and that's obviously an easy do and i am george and i found this house in beachwood canyon like the day after we signed our lease at this place um and it
it had a pool it wasn't a house it was like a it was a a basement not basement it was a duplex and
it was the lower unit in a house in beachwood canyon overlooking Lake Hollywood with a pool and a water slide.
And it was the same price as this place that we're living in now.
That's insane.
It was insane.
I think it was like kind of those COVID panickers who were like, I need to get somebody.
Let me like underprice it.
Right.
And so I sent it to George and I was like, I like our place, but this would have been cool.
And he was like, I'm angry.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Go out and vote. Vote early.
That's it.
It's not fun or funny.
Really quick. This is not fun or funny.
This is just kind of what it is.
I've been on the plight
of sleepless
nights to get
10,000 followers.
I've been telling Jeff
once I hit 10,000 I'll matter.
Jeff was like, once you hit it,000 I'll matter and Jeff was like once you hit it then you'll realize
there's nothing on the other side and then you'll kind of
always feel sad and I'm like
no that'll never happen to me
that's what I thought
it'll never happen to me
so it happened
it's nothing
I did as soon as I hit it i'm like let me use that swipe
