This is a HeadGum Original.
Get the 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 just want to know how you feel
Awful.
Tiny hand.
Riley's waving a tiny hand on her finger
and I hate to see it, obviously.
I just wanna rip you
Don't make those facial expressions while waving a tiny...
Yeah, now she's covering her hand with just the finger hand.
Like, who, me?
Who, me?
I'm just a baby.
Yeah, piles of unfiled taxes behind you, right?
You're not a baby.
You have responsibilities.
Powers out, running on generator
power and a hot spot uh yeah you're excited about it yeah i woke up so it snowed it snowed overnight
and uh i'm here in northeast ohio the cuyahoga valley um stolen land obviously from the cuyahoga
tribe um but yeah sugar and falls ohio which is not sugar and falls ohio jackson hansel it's
sugar in falls like much to my Sugar and Falls.
I've made jokes like that before in the Headcumbs sketches and on the show.
I've said much to my Sugar and Falls.
Much to my Sugar and Falls is nothing.
I think a lot of people say Shugrin, much to my Shugrin.
You say Shuh instead of Shuh.
Shugrin.
Right.
You say uh, like sugar.
But you've never been, you don't, the dialect around here is Sugarin Falls.
Like everyone in town knows.
I'm just saying that it's like, when I say sugarin, it's sha instead of uh.
So I think that's where it gets confusing.
Sugarin.
Sugarin.
This is, anyway, now it means, you know when you say a word so many times.
It means nothing.
You live nowhere.
But it snowed last night, right?
And that just cut the power for some reason it snows every year in northeast ohio but for some reason
they're never prepared spectrum style um so yeah i'm using a lot of expensive data right now to
call and and and and and to browse the net and i honestly i'm i'm going to a lot of sites that cost a lot of data. Like what?
Like Flash, yeah.
Like Flash sites?
Flash sites, yeah.
I don't know what you mean.
You know, you go to the site and it plays a video.
Okay, right.
So I don't know if I mentioned that.
So like YouTube or?
YouTube actually, I hadn't checked that one out yet though.
That sounds pretty good.
You haven't checked YouTube out?
Not since the power went out.
Right, but since the power went out,
you said that you've been using a lot of data.
Flash data, yeah.
So I went to like a couple of my buddies,
like they asked for feedback several weeks ago
on their like directing portfolios on their website.
So I went to their site and it's all techy.
There's a lot of, what's that?
You did that, nothing, keep going.
And so I'm like checking out their reel,
their samples, giving feedback. And obviously the feedback is like, it's a video of me what's that? You did that. Nothing. Keep going. And so I'm like checking out their reel, their samples, giving feedback.
And obviously the feedback is like, it's a video of me giving feedback because I don't
want to type it all out.
So I'm sending them texts of full videos.
We're talking like 50, 100 megabytes.
On the day I'm down $800 of data.
Obviously wait to do this till you have Wi-Fi back, right?
Like there's so many other things you could be doing that you don't need Wi-Fi for except for this well i was gonna play guitar when the once the wi-fi came back or maybe read
a book switch the order of operations okay yeah i get that right i'm not gonna do it but i get it
i get the reasoning behind it well i did the best i could what's new with you still organizing not
much i mean tiny hand has really like been just taking up a lot of time.
It shouldn't be more than a couple minutes a day.
Well, here's the thing, is that not only do I have the Tiny Hand.
No way.
She has another thing.
You're a prop comic.
She just put a clown nose on.
You're Carrot Top today.
And this is a podcast.
Hi.
Hi.
Riley's keep sending me the,
the,
the animojis and she sent one today that made me laugh out loud,
but we posted the,
the unicorn one today.
These things make me laugh very hard.
And so I keep them on my desk.
Um,
I'm trying to think what else it's just
been it's been a lot of it's been a lot of organizing but we have the office pretty much
put together so that much more what percentage do you think you're done because this is a lot
of days of organizing this sounds exhausting so the only thing that like i think is left for me
to do is um we're gonna we have a bunch of frame photos that we're going to make into like a gallery wall over our dresser. And so the wall is very, it looks nakey. It's very bare right now.
And so because there's a lot of like, we need the space to hang everything. All of the things that
I put on top of the dresser are now like on the floor of the office. So once those photos are up,
then I can reorganize that. We have a little bit of reorganizing to do in the closet.
But for me, that's kind of the extent of what I have to do.
Daniel's going to be doing this for a bit.
Because he's moving in.
Because he's moving in.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Daniel's moving in officially. I mean, we've been quarantining together since March.
So we've been effectively living together since then.
So nine months.
But now.
Yeah.
But now he's officially moving in, which is very exciting.
So it's Daniel, me, and Elizabeth, just the three musketeers, and we're having a ball.
So.
Did you open your birthday present?
Your birthday slash Christmas present?
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey, open it on the pod.
Open it right now.
Right now? Yes. Sorry, open it on the pod. Open it right now. Right now?
Yes.
Sorry, I had to get scissors.
So this is your,
happy birthday and merry Christmas, Jeffrey.
I already know where it's from because the tape on the outside says it
and you told me about it.
So I'm really excited.
Yay.
Wait, did you happy merry birthday

the spice place
in Evanston
the spice house
in Evanston and you can so basically this is Daniel's spice place in evanston right house in evanston and you can
so basically dan this is daniel's go-to gift for everyone and i stole that idea so daniel's like
damn it we've got some saigon cinnamon let's give daddy a smell the best cinnamon i've ever had to
put in my coffee every morning yeah this is perfect because uh i think i i don't know if
i've told you about it there's this uh Christmas ale, Great Lakes Christmas ale in Cleveland.
Yes, you have told me about that.
Oh, fuck.
Open it with the scissors.
Oh, I have the scissors, of course.
So what my family does, I mean, it's not just what we do.
Kind of all Clevelanders do it, but you take a beer, like a pint glass, you rub orange
around it, like an orange slice, just to wet its whistle.
And then you dip the rim in cinnamon sugar.
And then you pour the Christmas ale in, and then you have it.
That sounds amazing.
So this cinnamon is going straight onto a pint glass tonight.
It's incredible.
It's the best cinnamon I've ever had.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Oh, my God.
I wish that you guys could smell this right now. It's incredible. It's the best cinnamon I've ever had. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Oh my God. I wish that you guys could smell this right now.
This is-
It's insane.
This is unbelievable.
I like, I'm not even like,
like I don't have a discerning palate enough
to tell good cinnamon from bad cinnamon,
but this you can just tell.
Thank you for sending me this.
It's like the most potent cinnamon.
It's so good.
There's more, there's more.

I can't believe we just did this on the show.
Thank you.
Yeah, thank you to Riley, obviously, for this.
But also thank you to everybody for listening and for giving me a job.
I appreciate you guys.
It was one of the things that I reflected on on my birthday the most of, you know, what's changed this past year.
We're talking about eggnog today.
Come on.
The one time I'm earnest on the show, I don't tell anything about myself on this show.
No, sorry.
Finish your thing.
Finish your thing.
Yeah, we're talking about eggnog.
We're talking about fucking eggnog.
I'm going to put the cinnamon.
No, I think Finish your thing. We're talking about eggnog. We're talking about fucking eggnog. I'm going to put the cinnamon. No, I think that's really lovely.
My mom and I make this really good eggnog when we decorate our tree,
which we're doing in two, I think a week.
I'll put this cinnamon in the eggnog.
No, I think that's very lovely what you did.
What's your experience with nog, Riley?
Egg or otherwise?
I don't know.
In theory, I'm not a nog gal.
You love milk.
What do you mean? That's the ultimate milk. But I don gal. You love milk. What do you mean?
That's the ultimate milk.
But I don't.
The ultimate milk.
That's dairy to the end.
Eggnog, the ultimate milk.
An ad campaign by Big Nog.
Big Nog.
I'm an eggnog lobbyist.
Big Nog, eggnog.
It's like foghorn, leghorn.
I can still say it. I'm an eggnog lobbyist. Big nog, eggnog. It's like foghorn, leghorn.
I can still smell the cinnamon on my fingers. So good.
Everybody check out the Spice House.
Yeah, truly.
Their packaging is also stunning.
And you can get their stuff online.
So yeah, in theory, not a fan of the nog.
Because it's so thick. But then whenever I have it, I'm like not a fan of the nog because it just, it's like, it's so thick,
but then whenever I have it, I'm like, well, of course I love it.
Like, of course it's incredible.
But then I think about it and I'm like, ew.
Ew.
What about you?
It's definitely one of the most polarizing things.
Yeah.
You either love it or you hate it.
There's nobody that's like, I could take or leave eggnog.
I could, I could eat. I could or leave eggnog. I could eat.
I could do an eggnog.
I could eat.
I could do a nog.
What did you say?
It's like March.
Everyone's like, hey, we don't have that.
Yeah, I could go for a nog.
A what?
A nog.
Are we going out for nogs?
Yeah, I don't know.
Someone said margs and they're just like, yeah, nogs.
Peter, who's your friend?
This is Chauncey.
Chauncey is, I don't know,'t know i'm really he's my sister's brother i like or sorry
he's my wife's brother i have to like take her around you don't want to be that directly like
to say my brother yeah he's my sister's brother and most people just kind of gloss over it well
i don't want to be categorized with chauncey but yeah sure you love a nog you make it with your mom
here's the thing there's two different nogs There's the carton one from the store-bought.
You're an alien learning to speak.
Yeah, the store-bought from the carton.
That's the one that I think is rightfully polarizing.
I love it.
It is disgusting.
It's really bad for you.
I love it.
It's disgusting.
I read somewhere that it has the same amount of cholesterol
as if you were to eat two double cheeseburgers,
two fries, and two drinks.
So how do you make a nog?
That's the store-bought.
It has its own spicy aftertaste,
and I understand why people don't like it.
It's very thick.
It's gooey, almost.
I love it.
What I do when I don't want to make the one that my mom and I make
is pour it into a glass,
pour a little brandy in it, mix that it thins it out it becomes a nice little cocktail
a little bit of nutmeg on top what what i do with my mom is more like a milkshake so it's basically
you do the you like froth the egg whites and you do the nogging of the eggs etc whatever you want
to call it add it to a thing and then you basically just add literal like melting ice cream to it and the ice cream melts
into like a milkshake eggnog concoction and the ice cream basically acts as ice cubes so you never
even have to refrigerate it so it's good for making day of drinks for people and then yeah
again nutmeg on the top that sounds so good it's unbelievable i would ship you that but that's
dairy i don't make it oh you've never made
it you've never made it i've never made it i think there was one year in high school because my
family were not an eggnog family okay well i remember like i remember like but i'm like oh i
want the experience of that and so after school one day or on the holidays, I drove to the supermarket, just picked up an eggnog carton, brought it home, poured some.
It was like, and it's not a thing that it's like,
oh, here's my nightly eggnog.
It's like, I'm going to have it once in a two-week period.
And that's it for me.
It's an unsustainable drink.
Actually, not even a two-week period.
I will have it once in the season, maybe.
I couldn't tell you the last time I had it.
Well, it is like so addicting, for me at least least if you like eggnog, you know what I'm
talking about? Where it's like, you'll just have the whole carton. And then you're like the next
day you literally gained five fucking pounds. But like when I, when I, that experience, I remember
like being like, Oh, this is, this is fine. And none of my family wanted it. So I'm like, I guess
this is just my carton of eggnog that I have now.
Well, this is sad to see in the fridge.
Marty gave us some Christmas presents and they're called ads.
Let's open them up right now.
Read your review, bitch. god all right this is a review of bakti holiday spiced chai
nog this is from a reviewer named abraham w winken
abraham winken uh this is from a this is literally from a website called eggnog.reviews
and it's just abraham it's a blog that he started to talk about like weirdly specific
noggs here we go there are stars but i'll get to it chai nogg is one of the more specialized
noggs you'll see reviewed around here.
This poses some additional challenges for our Nogspurt Mouthfeels and 100% unbiased opinions.
Nogspurt Mouthfeels sounds like a Seussical name.
Hi, I'm Nogspurt.
Nogspurt Mouthfeels.
But life is full of hurdles and we struggle on one swig at a time.
Upon the first twist of the cap,
your senses will quickly be assailed
by the strong scent of chai.
The taste fairly well parallels the smell with a soft burning sensation
down the back of your throat.
It's not painful, just chai.
Just chai!
Thick and creamy are how I would describe bhakti.
It's almost actually so not eggnog that I'm putting it at two eggs out of five.
Sorry, it's almost actually so not eggnog.
It's almost actually so not eggnog that I'm putting it at two eggs out of five.
Nogspurt is the worst
word i've ever read it's n-o-g-x-p-e-r-t just say nog expert or egg spurt egg spurt would have been
so much better no not this is literally a blog and all he does is review eggnog so that's an
interesting character which also feel like this whole world
is very soos it's like of course your your job is an eggnog reviewer
all right children welcome to the village of a song and dance trees mellow woods Now it's time for career day
Young ones
Now remember in this town
We're all named after what our trade will be
Now why don't you start us off
Taylorson
Taylor
Would you like to know what your occupation's going to be?
I couldn't possibly have any idea
I've been racking my brain
Thinking will I be a gumdrop tester?. I've been racking my brain thinking,
will I be a gumdrop tester?
Will I be a water weaver?
Please do tell me what my job will be.
Well, Taylor's son, Taylor,
you're going to be a tailor.
You're going to make sure trousers fit just so.
All right.
Hip, hip, hooray for me.
I shall run through the streets with glee.
What about me, teacher-est pet?
What?
Please tell me my name and what I am destined to be.
I thought, will I be a reindeer trainer or will I drive race cars
around the land?
I couldn't possibly know.
Well, Jeter Finance,
you're going to be a treasurer
in charge of the city's bank accounts.
Golly, that's all up to me? Yes, it is.
Give me your money.
Garrity forks it over.
Children giving cash.
I guess today's my first
day on the job.
I run with, like, Monopoly-sized money
bags through the street. And I think that's it.
Oh, wait.
Teacherous pet.
You haven't given me my future job yet.
Yeah.
Hi, Mr. Mouthfeels.
I don't think we should give you your occupation in front of the other children.
I really don't.
But that's kind of the best part of the whole day.
Recess. everyone go outside
Enjoy basking in the glory of your jobs
He gets trampled, trampled over him
And then he's just sitting there on the floor
Cartoon just like fully paper thin
Alright, Nogspurts, let me sit you down
Now, when you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Well, I see just plain old nogs per mouth feel.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Okay, because I was going to say a jaundiced kid.
Well, right, I guess that kind of comes with the territory.
Why can't my job be announced in front of the other children?
I used to be like you.
And my name? Teacher's
pet. Alright?
That's not a good name to have.
But I guess you were
the teacher's pet in school and then you
became the teacher herself.
And when I was the teacher's pet,
people would trample me just
like they did you.
And on career day, guess
what happened? You got trampled and went paper thin like me?
Worse.
I was spun around a tetherball pole, and they played me like a ball.
And it was all because I had the least glamorous occupation in the village.
Teacher.
I think teaching's a very noble position.
I am, that doesn't surprise me.
I'll just say that, that you think that.
Nogspurt, your job is going to be,
and it might have to be this,
you're going to taste dairy concoctions
that are seasonal and give your thoughts on them in eggs.
So instead of two or three stars, it's going to be two or three eggs.
You're the only one in the village who can taste the difference between different nogs.
Nogs.
Well, your namesake very much says it.
You're the expert on gnaw What?
Why do you think you wouldn't be able to tell this in front of the other kids?
Well, golly, that just sounds like the best job in the land
Okay, well, let's see how it goes then
Cut to them outside
Everyone, children, recess is almost over
You have a couple more minutes
I just wanted, because our little Mr. Mouth feels here is so proud of his job,
I wanted to announce it in front of you all.
All the kids, they're still doing what they're doing, but look over.
Our little nogspurt here is going to taste dairy and kind of give his thoughts on it.
And eggs.
They all start throwing eggs at him.
Tossing eggnog at him in buckets.
No!
Drowning in dairy.
What?
Everyone stop!
They don't stop.
There's still eggnog kind of flying at him, but he acts like they didn't stop.
It doesn't faze him.
He's being drenched.
Seedswell Farberson, where did you get this nog?
My dad made it, and I'm going to make it when I'm older.
Now here, have an egg on your face.
Throws it.
Crack.
Well, Seedswell, I think I have a couple notes for your father.
Now everybody stops.
Seedswell is like the biggest kid in school.
The bully.
All I'm saying, Seedswell, is that the dog could be a little thicker.
It's a little thin.
And so I was just thinking maybe if you have happier chickens, you might get better eggs for the dog.
Seedswell stares him down.
Everybody's waiting to see what he'll do.
Another kid walks up and tries a sip of the nog.
Yeah, he's kinda right. This tastes
dull. Everybody turns and laughs at Seedswell.
No! Fellow children, please stop!
They start egging Seedswell.
No! I run in front of Seedswell. Stop it!
That's not what we're about here in
the land of song and dance.
What are we called? What's our town called?
You got it exactly right, Nogspurt. I'm watching this all happen.
Teachers, but you're not gonna, okay.
Well, everyone, that's not what we're about here.
My job, I'm a Nogspurt.
Seeds well one day, we'll sow the fields and be a farmer.
And all of us, we all have our places in this world,
none of which are to assault our fellow classmates,
yours truly included, with eggs.
Now, I think we could all put the eggs down
and we could finish career day in peace.
Hey, hey, where are all the ladies around here?
It's me, Peter Playboy.
Oh, God, Peter Playboy, get out of here.
They all throw eggs at him as he leaves.
We could throw eggs at him.
That's fine.
He's leaving anyway.
Cut to Nogspurt's first day on the job.
Okay, got my very own Nog tasting desk.
Excuse me, Nogspurt?
Yeah?
Yeah, supervisor here.
I just want to make sure that you have everything you need.
I absolutely do, Supervisorial Samson.
Thank you so much for being the best supervisor in the town.
And remember, we want you to mostly test for viscosity.
And did direct deposit get set up?
Did you sign up the W-2?
Because it's a lot of money, so.
Do you know how much you're making?
Are you being paid to do this?
Do you know how much you're making?
I thought I was just doing it for the love of the dog.
It's $120,000 a year.
You know what?
You take the money.
I just do it for the eggs. No on well i can venmo it to you so venmo exists here well well i need a w-2s exist here i feel like it's
i'm worried about you I'm worried that you're Pray tell
I'm worried that
You love Nog so much but
I'm telling you Nogspurt
After a month on this job
You're gonna be sick of this stuff
No way I'll love Nog for
My whole life
Nothing in the world
Could ever compare to the love I have
For the Nog stuff cut to his funeral
seeds wells farmer is there giving eulogy you know i didn't always like nogsbert but he taught
me a valuable lesson you gotta love what you do even if it kills you nogspert died of cholesterol poisoning, which is real.
He was a good man, but he was an even better
Noxpert. Like in the Grinch
or Hornhearser who you zoom out
and the whole world is on a snowflake
that lands
on a cup of eggnog
and someone's sitting outside in a rocking
chair in the snow.
Honey, are you coming in?
Yeah, let me just finish this one last sip.
Takes a sip, the snowflakes on the tongue.
Do you hear, Tiny?
Whoa.
Is that the wind?
No, silly.
Just the Christmas cheer in a cup
what bad writing did i hear something no i guess it's probably just christmas cheer in a cup and that's the end of the movie fuck how did that get approved this was all one
long ad for eggnog eggnog this christmas choose dairyman's you never know what you might find
so what do you think guys well besides the fact that it's two hours long. What we'll find. I don't think people want to drink small civilizations.
Hey, don't knock it.
Don't nog it till you try it.
You're fired.
Okay, this review.
Organic Valley eggnog.
I love Organic Valley, not gonna lie.
Ultra pasteurized organic eggnog.
It's a court.
That's on the carton.
Organic Valley organic eggnog.'s a court that's on the carton organic valley organic eggnog it's a court the
photo on it is a little girl pulling a calf on a sled through the snow sure sure this is from
m thompson emma but it's m-a
emma thompson so this is organic. So what?
There's no real reason for organic eggnog.
It's a court, all caps.
Also, and the price was way more than it should have been.
But I needed eggnog for my Christmas, and you took advantage of that.
You can bet I won't be buying anything else from this eggnog maker.
The product itself is thin.
There's the eggnog flavor, yes,
but it's not a thick, rich product that you expect,
especially at the outrageous price.
And it doesn't really have much fragrance of eggnog either.
I won't be buying or recommending this brand to anyone.
Gives it three stars.
Hi, yeah, Organic Valley customer service.
Hello, I'd like to file a complaint against your latest eggnog release.
Of course, that's why we're here. My name is Letterman. If we get disconnected,
is this a good callback number?
This is absolutely a good callback number. I'm on my husband's phone because mine is in the charger.
I'm Emma Thompson.
And I just, there's a couple things wrong with your nog.
Let's just say that.
Oh, yeah.
We welcome feedback.
It always helps with our next batch.
What if I could just take a couple bullet points down?
What can I say?
I'm so glad.
And thank you for being so kind.
You're making this whole process a lot easier.
I have to say, I feel a little more calm now. I had kind of a disturbing experience with your eggnog this morning what happened well it's a court what's that the eggnog yes it's a court
it it comes in a court it comes in a court eggnog is not a court it comes in a court i mean it is
a court it came in a court um so is the complaint you'd want larger sizes, smaller?
I just, yeah.
What's there to say?
I mean, what's there to say at this point?
If only I was drinking the eggnog, a quart would be fine.
But no, I got the nog for my family.
So with a family of five, do we really think a quart will suffice?
Can I ask what grocery
store you got it from? Which partner you might've ordered from? Because you could have gotten
multiple courts and if they're out of supplies, that's something we could help with. We could
ship more to them. Oh no. I mean, I went to Kroger's and I picked the court from the aisle.
And there were other courts? They were all courts. That's what I'm saying. They were all,
so there was multiple, so you could have gotten more. I'm so sorry, Emma.
I am gonna have to strike this
from the phone call record
because I can only submit
actual formal complaints.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
Sorry.
Do you have formal complaints
or do you just have things
that are, yeah.
Well, I have another thing.
Let's hear the next one, yeah.
Sorry, I feel a little bit dismissed,
but no need.
I just feel that
this was a little thin. that this was a little thin.
The nog was a little thin.
Okay.
Do you like a thick nog?
I love a thick nog
and we strive to make a thick nog.
Can I ask,
were you using the eggnog
in a cocktail or anything
where you would have added
something to make it more viscous
or was it just straight?
Well, I watered it down.
Yeah, so
there it is.
You put water in eggnog?
Well, to thin it out.
So did it come too thick? I'm struggling again to figure out what the complaint is. Here's water in eggnog? Well, to thin it out. So did it come too thick?
I'm struggling again to figure out what the complaint is.
Here's the thing.
It came too thin.
And so the fact that I always water my nog,
and so when I watered it down even more,
it was like there was no nog left.
So I need it thin, but I don't need it thin out the court.
So just to be clear, when you get thick eggnog,
and it's usually too thick, you water it down, it's perfect.
This came perfect and then you still watered it down out of habit.
It sounds like it was the perfect nog for you.
Well, I didn't know.
It's my habit.
My body just knows when I pour the nog, I pour a little water in.
That's just my routine.
It's what I do.
So how was I to know that your nog...
So it's muscle memory.
I was following through with my muscle memory in preparing
my morning nog.
And the nog,
it already came out thin. And so I didn't
expect that when I put the water in
the thin.
Is that the end of the sentence?
You didn't expect that because you
put the water into the thin?
I put the water into the thin. There's no subject
in that sentence.
The subject should be the thin eggnog. No is the subject i didn't expect it when i put the water into the thin
i don't think so all right so again dissecting grammar with you today 100 i hear you that these
things happened they are not formal complaints do you have anything more that i
actually can bring to my higher ups and get this issue resolved for you because i don't i do want
you to be a satisfied customer of organic value you know what clearly you're not going to take
anything i have to say seriously so let them know write this down this is this is a formal complaint
i will not be buying anything else from this eggnog maker again okay and you called to tell
us that i called to let you know that you've just
lost a customer i'm sorry to hear that we're you're always welcome back um i there's no solution
because what you said were mistakes you made um mistakes i made you sold me a court of the thin
kroger sold you the court we sold it to kroger oh so now we know where the buck stops i don't think we do i
think we've figured it out right before what you just said and it was that you there was human
error for sure i'd like to talk to your superior all right um yeah here she is hi yeah is um can i
help you hi um i'm emma thompson and i have just called your underling for lack of a better word
with a couple complaints
and he didn't seem to take me too seriously this holiday season yes so i get all the complaints
on a live feed on my monitor um what you said was it was yeah they weren't complaints but i'm happy
to feel complaints right those were complaints i don't know who you think you are not about the
eggnog well the complaint about the it was thin and a quart. It was thick in a quart. And then you thinned it out.
No, it was too thin.
So when I thinned it out more, it was then it was, it was paper to me.
What gets us off the phone right now?
What can we do to make you feel okay?
I'd like a thicker nog, but I don't think you're the one to make that happen.
Now are you, little miss?
Well, we have a full fat version.
Did you get the fat to make that happen. Now are you, little miss? Well, we have a full fat version. Did you get the fat-free version?
The fat-free is a forest green container.
The full fat is black.
Which color was yours?
Well, I saw the word free on it, and I thought, oh, a Christmas.
So you stole from Kroger's?
How was I to know?
Again, that is not my fault.
That is the fault of yours, eggnog makers.
That is 100% within your agency to not steal and to read the carton.
I didn't steal.
It was part of the Christmas spirit.
I thought, ooh, they're giving.
So what do you want me to do?
You want me to send you money for the thin nog?
That's the end of the sentence.
We hear in the background, yeah, that's her.
That's her.
Security comes, tackles you.
She's been in the Kroger parking lot this whole time.
Just wracked with guilt, but not sure if I should return it or not.
Already opened and take a sip of it with water.
My husband, Nogspurt Mouthfield, died this year,
and I don't know what to do with myself.
I'm bereft, So I committed theft!
Rhyming doesn't get you out of petty crime charges.
You do the crime, you do the rhyme.
Your voice is shaking.
This shook me all week long
What a dairy based episode
You must be so happy
Oh my god
It's a dream, it's a cream dream
Cream dream is not the term I should have used
but that's fine
I finished euphoria

He's like, when I'm that age, not 40 years.
But he's like, when I'm that age, that is the, and Elizabeth is like, 100%, you will play the kind dad.

Riley, we haven't done this in a while, but should we read a five-star review that we got on Apple Podcasts?
Yes, please.
I think we should bring this back.
So if you guys are interested, write a funny review on Apple Podcasts for the show, five stars.
It really helps us out, and we'll read it on the show or not.
This is a five-star review from September 12th by Matt Yes Matt.
Comedy.
Something both ever-changing and constant.
It rings throughout our shared history, never failing to link us together by these impossible,
these familiar threads of chaotic joy and humility that we all share.
Weathered is this network of stress and release.
It bends and twists together, weaving the ultimate fiber of our unique human experience.
What's my point, you ask?
Grains.
That's right.
Here's a science fact.
Everywhere in history has breads, tortillas, pita, rye.
Are you following me?
Olive oil on a plate.
Even rice is bread not true and this podcast
is if i can find the words the breads of my listening
yeah it's pumper to my ears nickel or other rise aaron and i just couldn't get enough the hosts are charming and there are two ads that's just a fact
the comedic voice and chemistry that riley and jeff share is truly special they never fail to
get a laugh out of me even considering what happened i'm not gonna elaborate as a long time
fan of the head gum youtube channel and jake and amir i'm genuinely stoked to have this new chunk
of content to listen to. Sometimes
I don't know.
Sometimes it feels like the universe wants me to be
sad. It feels like
God wants me to be sad, but this pod?
Now that's
fine.
Erin is my missing sister, by the
way.
Especially after what
happened.
The not elaborating i guess he lost his sister in a car or in a cab in a car so thanks thank you to matt yes matt for that review um and we'd really
appreciate it if you guys uh have a few minutes to leave your own and make it funny and we might
read it on the show thank you guys so much for listening to this episode of Review Review. We'll catch you guys again next week and have a
