This is a HeadGum Original.
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?
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
At participating restaurants for a limited time.
Don't you think it's time I let you know The podcast that is my favorite show
Review, review is the one I seek
I want to listen every week
I'm a podcat
Yeah
I like to listen at work
In the discord is where I lurk
Mail the show beyond Bob hit
Or a snowman building kit
Then when the show is done
I think
What's next and I know I'm a podcat
Because I like it
And I know I'm a podcat
Because I listen
Listen every week Listen every week.
Listen every week.
Listen every week.
Listen every week.
And I know I'm a podcast because I listen.
Yeah!
Listen right now!
I love that one so much!
What did you just say?
I love that one so much. Tyler, what did you just say? I love that one so much.
That tracks.
I love that.
That was from Tyler.
I'm disappointed in you, Tyler.
Tyler goes, dear Alvin Riley,
I wrote and recorded most of this
before you guys asked for non-copyright material.
I didn't want this to join the theme song graveyard
along with Alf wears the sunglasses inside and Jeff is out.
Parodies of Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart and Black Me Out by Against Me that are rotting in my desk drawer.
So here we are.
My take on the Descendants pervert turned into podcast.
Riley probably prefers the subject matter of the original.
But I think Alf would agree it is at best a little misogynistic.
We all know what a
meninist riley is yeah the timing is off the vocals are rough and the instruments are property
of epitaph records enjoy or do what i do when i have a theme song come up and hit skip a couple
times best tyler the untalented tyler that's one of my favorite theme songs that ever you see that's
really interesting um if there if you those of you at home don't know the song pervert by the i don't know this
yeah i'm gonna go ahead and say don't look it up okay it's free because i think tyler's saying
it's a little misogynistic is uh maybe underselling it because i love this region so i don't know what
what the i don't want to know what the other one sounds like.
I have that same cup that you just spilled.
Alf just,
oh my.
No, it's a podcast.
You don't have to tell them.
You don't have to tell them.
Alf just lifted a cup
to his lip.
Even try
to put the water in his mouth.
It just all tumbled out.
on my chin.
What was that?
Stuck my chimney out,
like the crimson chimney from fairly odd parents.
What was that?
And I just poured it on myself.
On purpose?
But you have this,
no, by accident.
Do you have this cup?
He's holding up like a cup
that's a BU,
Boston University cup.
I have that same cup.
I drink out of that almost every day.
Yes, same one.
Before they redesigned the Terrier.
They redesigned the Terrier? Yeah, back when he still
looked fucked up.
I didn't know. Wait. Oh, is it like the
weird cartoon? Yeah.
It looks like really happy? Yes.
It's like joyful.
Oh, yeah. No, I don't like that.
He's like happy to be alive.
Whereas the current VMAs that you can see on his face, he goes-
That's not Rhett.
I'll just say that's not the Rhett I know.
He goes, $70,000 for this?
What the fuck?
For those of you who don't know, Alf and I went to Boston University,
and the mascot is a Boston Terrier.
And at BU, they had an old, old.i.p terrier named ret he died and he was the mascot
who would walk around school and it just it looked he'd be like kill me like he was just a mess i
mean boston terriers fit squarely into that camp of like dogs i love and think are adorable and I cannot feel anything other than the deepest sympathy for
their existence you know sure sure sure sure that's how I feel about French bulldogs I love
a French bulldog and also wish they didn't exist because it's so sad yeah pugs yes you know what's
new with you by the way speaking of pugs riley i've got some bad news
is it cold there if you listened to i think the episode with matt apodaca uh which if you haven't
listened if you haven't turn this shit off and listen to that one because that one was good
um i might have confessed on that show that i had stopped drinking coffee you're back
well i got some bad news for you well what was it what did it for about an hour ago oh shit this is
very recent i fell off the wagon oh my god alfred and i did and i drank a bottle of wine i did have
a coffee tonic um espresso tonic um which is sounds foul tonic water
iced with espresso that sounds fucking disgusting a little bit of pomegranate fig syrup um so kind
of a ew it's delicious darling you don't know what you're talking about nasty it's delicious
what are you on about it's delicious delicious. It's incredibly refined. Ew.
Was your heart racing?
Did you have a heart attack?
Oh, I didn't have a heart attack, but I did, I think, cardiac arrest.
Okay.
No, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I dreamed a dream of times gone by.
No, I don't feel great.
I don't feel right.
I feel wrong.
I feel wrong.
You don't feel great. I don't feel right. I feel wrong. I feel wrong. I don't feel right.
I feel very, very, very energized because I was sleepy, sleepy, sleepy before.
And now I'm shaky, twitchy.
You're wakey, but shaky.
I'm wakey. I'm eggs and bakey. Let's get into it. How are you? I had a cold brew.
I was really tired today.
I had a cold brew, and then I just had a tummy ache, and it did not affect my energy levels at all.
The tummy ache.
And you can't help but think that it's because I have now an intolerance to caffeine.
Which is boring.
That's where I was.
I took a tea break, though, and I'm back.
I feel fucking crazy. Yeah, I may need to. I don't's where I was. I took a tea break, though, and I'm back. I feel fucking crazy.
Yeah, I may need to.
I don't know if I can.
Because hot coffee in the morning.
This is so boring.
Fuck it.
Let's get into it. Hot coffee.
Hot coffee makes me energized.
Something I am really looking forward to, though, is tonight.
Oh, wait, no.
Hold on.
I'm going to save that for my what shook me.
That was insane insane it's all
over my pants i didn't notice it right now you pissed yourself it literally looks that was in
the water you pissed yourself oh that's right i'm pissing myself um you so because you can't see
this zoom everybody um alf poured water on himself and i'll address the elephant in the room i'm
wearing a breathe right strip on my nose because you know what happened to me? I can't even see it.
Because it's a clear one.
I apparently have a deviated septum.
So that's what's new with me
is that I went to an ENT doctor
to check out my TMJ.
How many more letters can I put in a sentence?
I went to the EMT to get my TMJ looked at.
A lot of clicking, a lot of pain in the ear
and my jaw. Your jaw clicks. And, oh, big time, it locks. to the EMT to look at my TMJ looked at a lot of clicking, a lot of pain in the ear and
my jaw.
Your jaw clicks.
And oh, big time.
It locks.
It locks.
It locks?
Crack it.
Oh, yeah.
I have to crack it.
No, it's like really bad.
And then sometimes my ears will just muffle and ring.
And I'm like, I need to.
It's like Charlie Brown.
Like, I'm like, this is I should see someone about.
Holy fuck.
Yeah.
So I go to the doctor.
How did your hypochondriac ass wait until now to go to a doctor?
Because I'm like, it's probably fine.
That?
I know.
No.
Once the ears started ringing, that's when I'm like, oh, I should see something about
this.
But anyway, he was like, stop drinking so much caffeine.
It makes you clench your jaw, which leads to more TMJ.
Probably true.
I've stopped chewing gum which is
really hard for me because i love chewing gum um but he was like breathing he's like he's like do
you sleep with your mouth open and i'm like uh no like i i i don't think i snore like all the
stuff he goes do you wake up with drool on your pillow no i'm sorry i have to cut you off because
i did ultimately hear the story about this before and you're leaving out a crucial detail.
Oh yeah.
I say, well, I know I go to sleep with my mouth closed.
You say, no, I don't think I sleep with my mouth open.
It's definitely closed when I go to sleep.
But anyway, then he goes, take a breath in.
What the fuck?
And I do.
And then he looks in my nose
and then he's like, hold on one second.
He takes a, like a breathing, like a nose strip,
puts it on my nose. And then he goes like hold on one second he takes a like a breathing like a nose strip puts it on my nose and then he goes now take a deep breath and you know those videos of like
deaf babies getting hearing aids and hearing their parents for the first time grandpa gets
the sea with color glasses for the first time and he can see that is what it felt like and he goes
did you know that you have a deviated septum? And I said, well, I sure fucking do now.
This feels amazing.
Like, that is what it feels like to breathe normal.
And he's like, yeah, you have nothing to compare it to.
Like, you have a deviated septum.
Do you think it's from, like, what?
Like, your MMA period?
Well, yeah.
I mean, it's, like, from my time being in the cage.
But I didn't think that that was a lot.
Again, I had nothing to compare it to. So it was probably deviated before i got in the cage i don't think it probably was i saw some
of those fights you got hit in the head a lot so that's been blowing my mind i i slept with one on
last night best sleep of my life best sleep is that true life yes that sucks it's crazy and so
because i am maybe gonna get a surgery do you know what's crazy. I'm so sorry. And so I am maybe going to get a surgery later this year.
Do you know what's crazy?
We had this conversation yesterday.
I couldn't fall asleep last night because I was-
Did you know that 80% of people have a deviated septum and don't know?
You said that to me because I couldn't fall asleep last night because I was Googling how
to know if you have a deviated septum.
Oh.
You managed to infect me with hypochondria, but I think I might have a deviated septum. Well, mama, infect me with hypochondria but i think i might
have a deviated septum well mama go get a breathing strip how do i know go to a doctor
get a breathing strip see if it affects what if i just do this um but i'm probably gonna get the
surgery can i do it this year too can you do it can you get the surgery no can i do oh can you
do the surgery on me doesn't look't look that hard. I watched a video
of it. I don't think it looks that hard. I don't want
my nose to look different. I asked my doctor
and he goes, no, not if it's the right person. It wouldn't if I do it.
I don't believe
that. Just a
hammer and a chisel and
give you a couple taps.
Get that straightened right out. It's like
Eno in Spongebob when he's trying to make a perfect sculpture
and he just taps it once and all of the marble falls. That is my septum straightened right out. It's like Eno in SpongeBob when he's trying to make a perfect sculpture and he just taps it once and all of the marble falls.
That is my septum straightening surgery skill on display.
You know what I would want going into surgery?
It's like a nice little comfort thing to hold as the anesthesia puts me under.
Chauncey, if you will.
Chauncey, if you will.
Look it up.
But if it's not Chauncey, because I don't want to take him to the hospital, I would want something nice and squishy and soft.
He doesn't like hospitals?
Hates hospitals.
Yeah.
Hates hospitals.
Because of the incident.
Well, because it's like he and I went to the cage together one time.
Right.
And it got really intense.
And he got fucked up.
Yeah.
But you got hit in the head a lot.
Yeah, right.
That guy was pulp.
Like, I won, but I did not make it out unscathed.
I'll tell you that.
Psychologically, I don't know if you ever recovered.
No.
God, no.
We're talking about jelly cats today.
A jellicle cat is a jellicle cat.
A jellicle cat is a jellicle cat.
I learned about jelly cats on a little indie app called TikTok.
What is that?
It's a little video.
It's like Vine.
Oh, I might be into that.
Jelly cats are...
So Elizabeth Valenti, friend of the pod and of life,
and I tried to explain jelly cats and squishmallows
to Daniel Rashid.
And Daniel looked at...
He goes, why do I feel like I'm talking to two five-year-olds?
What the fuck is it?
Daniel, you don't fucking get it, dude.
And Jellycat, they just look so soft and so great.
They're stuffed animals.
They're toys.
They are ultimately toys for kids.
Yeah, they're like if Beanie Babies were fun to hold.
Exactly.
And I have been really wanting, I don't have any,
but I bought one for Irene Walton
because she has a whole deviled egg series.
And so I found a little deviled egg key chain.
Oh, that's cute.
Go check out her deviled egg series.
She's doing a deviled egg inspired by every state in America.
So many.
I know.
I really want a capybara one.
Why so?
Because I love a capybara and it's really cute. Have you ever seen one? And not in real life. I really want a capybara one why so uh because i love a capybara and it's really cute have you

But then what are you going to do?
Chauncey is just too precious.
He's just so old.
It's like hugging your grandma.
You're worried that if you hug him too hard, he's going to fall apart.
And so I do want a nice little squishy little thing and

it is not ginger puppy i've been struggling since day one with this shit
ginger puppy coral green ginger puppy to coral green This fucker does not know colors That's unbelievable
And I'm not colorblind
I've taken a test online many many times
Because I'm like I must be
And it's all gray so I know I'm not colorblind
You know what's interesting about that
I used to have a couch that was gray
100% gray
Every person that came to my apartment
Oh it's on the green couch
Excuse me?
My couch is gray
Everyone thought it was green
So you are colorblind
Well and one star
From no pants
no shoes, no service
and I'm going to do
an accent and it's going to become apparent why
won't save them
from breaking up
won't save them from breaking up with you
brought her this
turns out she cheated on me
with a guy from uni
that's where I did the me With a guy from uni That's right I did the accent
With a guy from uni
She'd been there for less than two months
Said she wasn't getting enough attention from me
Smiley face
What?
Brought her this
Turns out she cheated on me
With a guy from uni
She'd been there less than two months so she wasn't getting enough
attention from me smiley face yeah smiley face is really terrifying i think it's kind of like a
she said she wasn't getting enough attention from me hmm makes you think
yeah i guess she uh wasn't getting enough attention from me so she says
so I got her a bashful dragon
so I bashed her head in
sorry so
what's the timeline he
okay
he brought her this
and then it turned out though
that she cheated on him
with a guy from uni.
Yes, no, I got all that.
She'd been there for less than two months.
I understand.
I'm wondering if he brought,
I'm wondering if, like,
he bought this, brought it to her,
and then while he was giving it to her,
like, on that trip,
he realized, oh, she's been cheating on me.
Right, and I think,
if we really dig into the text, the most devastating part of it is the subject line which was won't
save them from breaking up with you and i did ultimately forget right so it's like yeah she
cheated on you you brought her this dragon yeah if it was after the fact? To be like, was this when you're back?
And then she breaks up with you.
It's like, my friend.
Again.
No pants, no shoes, no service.
You should have broken up with her
when you found out that she cheated on you
with a guy from uni.
Simon, I really wish that you had called
before coming all the way out here.
Well, you said you liked big gestures, so here I am.
I do, but it's just not a great time.
Okay, you know, sorry, should I have checked your
Google calendar before I planned my
big romantic gesture?
Well, it's just like, you know, I would
have appreciated a little bit of notice.
There's stuff that's
happened, conversations I wanted
to have, and I didn't want it to go
down like this.
I thought you'd be happy to see me.
It's been two months. I thought you'd be happy to see me. I... It's been two months. I thought it would be two.
It's been two months. A lot can happen in two months,
Simon. Yeah. Especially
when you're at uni and all.
Yeah.
I've been calling it that. I can't quite
figure out why. It's what they call it
over in England. Right.
But we're in Sitka.
Alaska. Why are you talking about england it doesn't matter i just simon i i don't want to waste your time and i certainly don't want to waste mine
come back to bed darling who is that hey it's it's nobody simon can i come in is there someone
in there with you simon simon please just stay at the door. Simon, please stay at the door.
I just want to cut to the chase right now.
You are amazing.
You have been nothing but kind and loving and supportive
and just all around fantastic.
But I, we have to break up.
I think we should break up.
And we are officially broken up now.
I just did it.
So travel safe and thank you for everything.
No, you, seriously, Garf. I just did it. So travel safe and thank you for everything.
Seriously, Garf, we have been together through all of high school, okay?
Through everything.
I went to college in Juneau for you. I got into Harvard, but I came out here for you.
But I told you not to go.
I told you not to.
I said do not change schools because of me. Go to Harvard. I did came out here for you. But I told you not to go. I told you not to. I said do not change schools because of me.
Go to Harvard.
I did tell you that.
You said that, but it was clear you didn't really feel that.
Listen, all of that to say is I'm sorry for everything.
And thank you for everything.
And you really, really need to go now.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, it's a three-hour drive back to Juneau, and...
It's pretty late.
You're not staying here.
Then where am I gonna...
If that's what you...
Then where am I gonna stay?
Shit.
Okay, you can stay on the couch, but don't even think about coming into the bedroom, okay?
What?
Okay.
Why would I-
Why are you surprised?
Because you just broke up with me and you think I'm gonna, like, sneak into your bedroom?
I don't know. I thought you might think, like, well, it's two of us here alone. I don't know. This is a crazy day.
I will be alone if I come in there.
It's just going to be you and me.
If I go in there,
I,
I did not say that.
You.
Okay.
I don't want to.
Why would you say that?
It's such a strange thing to say.
I swear.
I heard.
It doesn't matter.
I,
I just want you to know.
That these were the best four years of my life.
It's downhill for me from here.
Oh, stop.
And you don't need to say it back.
That's not fair.
No, I'm serious.
It doesn't need to be that for you.
It does not need to be that for you. Do you hear the position that that puts me in of you being like, oh, this is the best
now.
It's all downhill from here.
Ironic.
You can't put that on me ironic what's ironic about that spend four years saying
i don't talk about my feelings enough i finally fucking share something with you and all of a
sudden but you but it's so manipulative that's so manipulative yes it is you saying it's all
downhill from here because of me you know what fine i'll admit it there is someone else here
are you serious?
Yes.
Because we are not together anymore, so I can be...
Well, we're not together.
You could have called before I left. I rented a car.
You could have called me to tell me you were coming.
I'm sorry? I am not the villain in this.
You cheated on me,
is what you're telling me.
Yes.
And you're trying to make me the villain.
And yet, I'm the manipulative one.
I'm not trying to make you the villain.
I'm not trying to make you.
No one can make anyone be anything.
Garf, I know you're pre-law,
but you're pretty shit at this.
What I'm trying to do is be honest with you.
You being in behavioral therapy studies,
you should understand
that I am really doing my best
to be honest.
Honesty is the best policy, right?
And yes, could I have been honest with you
when I've been sleeping with Roger
for six months?
Of course I could have been.
Oh, and he has a name.
Of course I could have been.
Of course he has a name.
Just keeps getting worse.
I am sorry.
I am genuinely, I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt, but I'm not sorry I did it.
You're serious.
Are you serious?
You're not sorry you had.
I'm not sorry.
And I'm going to call it an is, an affair.
I am not sorry about the affair.
I know I'm 19, but it's an affair.
Because we were together for four years.
I have never felt more like a woman than i do now oh give me a break with this you are what you are great and our relationship was
great for what it was for high school transitioning into college it was it was a very sweet work. We were kids. We were kids. And now I'm in
uni. And I'm getting my back blown. I don't need to know that Gar.
Listen, it's getting late. Just come in, stay on the couch and then just leave first thing
in the morning. Okay. Okay. Can we talk about i just don't want you to no we're done i don't want you to be intimidated by roger because he is a capital m man okay that yeah that's and
he's just like it just makes me feel bashful if that makes sense i guess yes it does make sense i am frustrated with you
of course you are i have of course if you would let me get a word out i have pretty clearly i
think outlined that i feel like you had an affair that you were really unfair to me and yet you are
telling me about how fun it is
to be with this other man and how he makes you feel bashful
I think that if you actually care about me
which I do
you would be happy that I'm happy
I am no longer in love with you
and I am
and I have not been since I got here
that could have been communicated
you literally
didn't tell me you were coming.
We've been talking on the phone every day.
Oh, so now I'm the villain.
Yes.
Oh, so now I'm...
Very much.
Remember Borat?
Our first date?
Of course I remember Borat.
We went to the Red Box.
Of course.
Pulled out Borat.
Of course.
No, we had some amazing times, but we were children then, and now I am a woman.
I just...
I would have changed my whole personality for you.
It's too late for that.
Do you want to meet Roger or not?
I don't know what's weirder, meeting him or not, so I guess it's up to him.
I think...
Okay, you know what? We'll put the ball guess it's up to him. I think, okay, you know what?
We'll put the ball in Roger's court.
I am sorry. I am genuinely sorry
for hurting you. I mean that so sincerely.
Doesn't feel like it, but fine.
I have no
choice but to take you at your word.
Well, come on in,
Simon. Thank you.
Couch is here, obviously.
I'll be right back.
I'm going to get you a pillow and blanket for the night.
I knew you were going to talk to Roger, presumably.
I'm just going to grab a pillow and a blanket.
Okay.
You just wait here.
I think we should meet.
No, I'm saying that.
Okay.
Well, why don't I bring him out?
You two can talk while I go get the pillow and blanket.
No, I think you should have a one-on-one conversation with him and see if he wants to come out.
Because it feels weird for me.
I think that I should not be in the room when you two meet.
That's fine, but at least introduce us.
It's going to be so weird if he just walks out here.
That's fair.
And I'm just sitting here and he's like, who the fuck is this?
No, okay, okay okay i'll be right back
okay hey raj hello funky monkey stop funkle the munkle what's up darling oh my god stop you know
how that gets me listen so you know i told you i had a boyfriend and you said I don't care about that.
Absolutely.
I did break up with him, but he is here and spending the night and he wants to meet you.
Menage a trois.
No, nothing like that.
He's staying on the couch, strictly on the couch.
All right.
But I'm going to get a pillow and blanket for him.
Why don't you, here, come here.
Hey, Simon.
Yeah?
This is Roger.
Nice to meet you.
Ooh, likewise.
Cool.
This is going a lot
better than I expected it to yeah okay
so that's it you guys met and uh here's your pillow and your blanket um we are going to be having very loud very animalistic
uh
raucous like
bacchanal levels
of sex and
you're welcome to join
no he's not he is not welcome to join
he's not welcome to join
he used to be fun Garfie
I know it's
anyone but him anyone but him.
Anyone but him.
I just...
Threesomes were a thing.
They were, I know.
We were having sex with so many people.
Simon.
Did he say threesomes were your thing?
They were.
Everyone in school... Sorry, uni knows that threesomes are a thing? They were. Everyone in school, sorry, uni, knows that threesomes are our thing.
School, never heard of that.
No, and that's who I met uni.
Oh, come to bed, you cheeky monkey.
Oh, my gosh, Simon.
I hate to do this to you, but I do ultimately, I can't.
I bend to his will, ultimately.
She's not the only thing she bends.
What does that even mean?
I'll leave you to figure it out.
Okay, I'll be in the...
Yeah, I don't even want to...
The foyer, I guess.
It doesn't feel like a living room.
It's kind of just an entryway
with a couch in it.
Anyway, yeah.
I am sorry for everything. and i hope you leave first thing
in the morning okay um roger it was a i don't want to say pleasure um because that would be a lie
and i've been working on lying um and by that he means working on not lying yes i think that was
clear i don't think anyone would be working on lying more.
My new year's resolution.
Be a bigger shit.
Come on.
Oh,
stop it.
Simon.
Don't be like,
maybe that was your fucking new year's resolution.
Hey,
Roger,
don't let him talk to me like this.
Maybe you could fight your own battles.
Oh,
you're so right.
Okay.
Simon.
Again,
I am sorry.
Um, and I hope that you do well.
Yeah, okay, thanks. So fucking superficial.
I mean it sincerely.
Can I have the ring back?
What's that?
My grandmother's ring. I want it back.
Oh, uh, yeah, sorry. I want it back. Oh. Yeah. Sorry.
I've been meaning to send that to you.
Before you told me we were breaking
up, you were going to send me a ring.
Well, I knew that we were going to break up,
so I was trying to figure out a way to send it.
Here.
Thanks.
You know, when she was, you know when she was you know
in hospital
making it British for you Roger
when she was in hospital
um
the last time she
she gave me this and she said
I want you to give this to Garfunkel
she's a special girl and She gave me this and she said, I want you to give this to Garfunkel.
She's a special girl.
And I got this from your grandpa Dick.
And I want you to give it to her.
And pass on it to your children one day.
And your grandchildren.
It's not an engagement ring, Roger, by the way.
It's just a ring. Darling, if there's one thing you've made clear,
it's that you don't give a flying fuck about monogamy.
It could have been an engagement ring, a wedding ring.
It could have been a fucking blood bond.
I wouldn't give a shit.
I would still be perfectly happy to Roger you.
You are the sexiest man I've ever known. known you know a lot of people have told me that
and simon i am it feels so inappropriate to be saying that as you're telling the story of your
grandmother's ring but it's just the power he has over me is is feral no and i do you know i mean
you know this about me i i I do identify as straight, but
I don't know.
No.
There's something about, you know, I'm just saying
I get it. I'm just saying I get it.
That's all I'm saying.
So we can end on good terms?
I don't see how me saying
I find your new partner...
But I'm saying if you were in my position and you were
seduced by a man like Roger Bartrink,
like-
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I don't know why the Bartrink's the one
in the villainy seat now.
Come on, love.
No, no, no.
Seduced you.
Seduced you.
Oh, you did.
You did seduce me.
Oh, I seduced you.
You followed me home, darling.
Followed me home.
But you didn't- Yeah, I followed you home, but. Followed me home. But you didn't.
Yeah, I followed you home.
But then you're the one who turned around and said, spread them.
That is not an accurate retelling.
Well, then what happened?
I followed you.
I was outside your property.
And you turned around and you said, spread them.
And I said, what?
So that is not accurate at all.
What are you talking about that's literally what
happened what happened was um you followed me home from work three three nights in a row
yes that is true yeah okay and i was really weirded out the foot at first
you were stood in front of my door on the third night yes yeah yes blocking the door right you had your hand over the lock
i gestured to your hand i said spread them as in your fingers i was not simon i want you to know
i was not simon i want you to know that that is he what he did was he put his hand like between
my thighs and kind of flopped around like a fish like kind of like pretending
like there was a fish he goes flop around like a fish between somebody's legs i did not know
that is demented that you think i would do that that is what happened are we having our first
fight garfield darling i love that you're sexually aggressive it's one of the first things i loved
about you when we met was that i walked up i said hey could you spread them fingers that is and you said i'd like to spread
you and i said what was that and he said i like to spread you like butter on toast butter on toast
is what a big melty man yeah and i said. I could get to know this girl.
And we had our first threesome.
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, it sounds like you two really have something special.
Now that I have my ring,
all I'm gonna ask
for is
could I have the ship and the bottle back?
That I am keeping.
Are you serious?
That I did break.
Sorry, you broke.
I was trying to get...
So Roger, actually what happened is the first time he came over here.
So that first night we went over to his place.
Leave me out of this!
No, but I will tell him what actually happened was
you saw the ship and the bottle and you said,
you said, and you said, oh my God, if only I could have one of those, those beautiful kinky things.
And I said, and I said, well, there is one way to get it.
And what I did was I then took it and I, and I hit it on the floor.
I threw it on the floor and then I picked on the floor. And then I picked it up.
Glass shards in my hands and the webs of my fingers.
Simon, she was bloody.
I was bloody.
Like, it was foul.
It was all over the place.
I couldn't stop.
It wasn't pleasant to look at.
It wasn't, I mean, even the smell.
It was like iron in the air.
Iron, iron everywhere.
And not a drop to drink.
And I took my...
She took her hand. Simon, this is important important it's an important part of the story she took her hand
bloodied raw looked like she shoved the fucking thing in a vitamix it was horrible to look at
i took my hand from just a few shards of glass how did that even happen
she was like pounding her fist into the broken
glass i was taking out like sand and like squishing it in my fingers i took my hand i wiped it across
my mouth blood all over my mouth yes then i wiped it across his mouth yes she did that blood all
over his mouth and then he put the um the boat in the tub tub and just kind of played with it.
Yeah, that's about the size of it.
And then we fucked in the kitchen.
Yeah, no, you fucked in the kitchen.
I get that.
And there was a third.
There was a third person there.
And then he did have a thing.
Downstairs neighbor.
That's our thing.
Yeah.
And her husband watched.
Hello.
Cool.
This has been,
I don't want to say eye-opening
because I think I might,
well, I think I might never sleep again.
These stories,
I mean, the hand thing is deeply concerning.
Well, speaking of eye-opening,
one amazing thing that did happen is
the most recent time that we made love,
and it did turn into making love. Oh, darling, tell him this this is graphic the most recent time you know i was in
the throes of it and and he kind of sorry and she means throes the way she tosses me around like i'm
a little fucking rag doll i mean it is fantastic you ever see it you get a good one orange it's like he put the
clamps on my eyes and he said open your eyes open your eyes he clamped my eyes open because he did
not want me to like sorry he wanted me to be present no i have to interject again that is
not an accurate retelling again i i really don't like the narrative you're spinning that I am sort of, in some way,
the aggressor or even the dominant.
No, with the glass blood hand, that was
all me. Yes, and then the
eyes was really you
spurring that on as well. I just want to make
that live with the record.
All this talk is making me
really horny. I
and I don't want to mince words, am diamond hard.
Simon, I think you need to drive home because I don't know where we're going to do it.
I don't know how or what's going to happen.
Yes.
I'm not okay to drive.
I can't.
Then you can stay and watch.
Just watch?
Just watch Okay
Or sit in the hall
Okay
You're not joining
Okay, that's fine
You're saying it with a smile like, oh, okay
You're not joining
Okay, that's fine
I'm just saying, you know, it's the least you can do
What are you
That's
You need to leave.
That's so fucked up.
No, get out of here.
Hey, Simon, mate, I was on your side.
That was fucked up.
That was really odd, what you just did.
And I think, can I be honest, Simon?
I think there's a way you could have played it
where you could have got in the middle.
I really do think there would have been a way,
but that was not it my friend
do better let's take a break
and we're back.
I'll squeeze the little guy.
I've got to go see a little guy about to squeeze.
That's so fucking nasty.
Okay, enough fucking around.
Here we go.
This is a review.
No way.
Yeah, if you can believe it.
This is a review.
Okay, I'm listening.
For the jellycat Gracie
grouper fish.
Sorry? It is a
Gracie grouper fish. It's a grouper.
It's called a grouper. It's a fish.
No, it's not. It's literally
called a grouper. You're lying. No, it's
not. It's a grouper. Sound off in the Discord.
Is it a grouper or a grouper?
Gracie grouper Grouper.
She has wide set
eyes and she's very cute.
This is a review. Five stars
from, and there's no title, but it is from
Petunia. So can I get a last name for
Petunia? Okay. How about
a... Okay, I need to prep
the accent for this one.
Another deeply offensive accent.
Put on your shoes, Jimmy.
We're going to church.
So that's a Scottish man.
He's talking to his son, Jimmy, who needs to put on his shoes.
This is from put on your shoes, Jimmy.
We're going to church.
Five stars.
Okay.
I love this puffy fish.
It's my favorite thing ever to cuddle with my gay
boyfriend got it for me for a gift and a heart i love this puppy fish it's my favorite thing
ever to cuddle with my gay boyfriend got it for me for a gift that sucks if you can believe it, he's so sweet. God, he's so thoughtful.
Yeah, I mean, straight women are like this.
No, but it's like he's so...
The thing I love most about Jonathan is how thoughtful he is.
Yeah.
Is how thoughtful he is.
Yeah.
What's that face?
No, I, I, I, I, uh,
no, I think he is really thoughtful.
Rose, come on.
You're my gal pal who always speaks her mind.
Lay it on me, sorority sister.
I'm just saying, like,
I don't know.
I, I,
sometimes I feel weird about the way you talk about Jonathan.
That's all.
What do you mean?
Well, like, I don't know.
Sometimes you say words that kind of feel dated.
I literally, I'm so, if I've offended you or anybody.
Well, you kind of have.
Oh my God.
What did I say?
I literally don't even remember.
This is crazy.
Tutu, short for Petunia, when you, like, I love that you love when your boyfriend does
like sweet, sensitive things for you.
It is the sweetest thing ever.
He's such a little mush.
I know.
Yeah.
When you said to me last week.
Yeah.
Oh, you're not going to believe what Jonathan did.
Well, girl, I say a lot of shit.
I honestly don't remember like 80% of the things that I say.
Concerning.
You said, oh my God, Jonathan did the sweetest thing.
I got home from my work and he had put rose petals on the bed and he got a little glass of champagne.
And I was like,
Oh my God,
it was the sweetest.
It really was.
And I was like,
wow,
that's so,
that's so sweet.
And then you said,
Oh,
I love him.
He's such a fucking sissy.
And it felt a little weird.
I'm being serious.
Tutu, I'm being serious. It felt a little weird.
Like, when we were in college, like, in 2007,
that kind of language was, like, normalized.
And I want to, like, challenge you to grow.
Because, like, the rest of the world has moved on.
Oh, my God.
Rose, you're funny.
I'm sorry.
It's not funny.
It's like, you know my brother's gay, right?
No, but you're misinterpreting what i mean
oh my god i don't know how i misinterpreted that entirely okay are those the exact words that i
said yes of course they are i do remember that because that night was the sweetest thing ever
it's like it wasn't even a special occasion like he's like it's a wednesday right which is i again
i'm like that's awesome i love that you love I'm like, what? Again, I'm like, that's awesome.
I love that you love your boyfriend.
And he was just like, just lay down.
I'll take care of you.
Here's the rose.
Here's the champagne.
Let's watch some Below Deck.
Like, he knows how much I love that.
Okay.
And I was just like, oh, my God, you're being so sissy.
And what I meant by that.
Yeah, that's weird.
What I meant.
No, no, no, no, no.
What I meant by that.
Don't say what I think you want to say. I call my sister sissy. No, no, no, no, no, no. What I meant by that. I call my sister.
No,
no,
no.
So it's like,
Oh,
he's treating me like a loved one does.
Like I call my sister.
I'm like,
Oh my God,
that's a sissy move.
Like whenever she's like,
you used it as a noun.
You said you are taking it out of context.
I meant it like you are family.
Yes. Like he is a sister. Okay. So meant it like you are family. Yes.
Like he is a sister.
Okay.
So stop out the word sissy for sister.
Does that make sense?
Oh my God.
He's such a sister.
What the fuck are you talking about?
He's like a sister to me.
Okay.
He's like a sissy to me.
That's not what you said.
That's what I mean.
I'm going to give you the benefit.
That's what I meant.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that one I'm going to give you the benefit Of the doubt on that one
That's literally what I meant
There's no benefit of the doubt to give
That is literally what I meant
And I'm offended that you would think
That I would mean anything else
I do not use that kind of language
It is outdated and it is offensive
Yeah sure
I meant it like he is my sissy
Okay
I'm sorry
You were going to say that one
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
What else are you talking about?
No I don't
I don't know if you're in a I don't know if you're receptive So I'm going to say that one. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. What else are you talking about? No, I don't know if you're in a...
I don't know if you're receptive.
So I'm going to...
I am so receptive.
I'm explaining what happened.
And I deeply apologize if that came off as offensive.
That is so...
I know it's impact over intent.
I really did not...
Yeah, that's fine.
I do not see it that way, and that's not how I meant it.
Okay.
And he knows that.
You can ask him. Okay, maybe meant it. Okay. And he knows that. You can ask him.
Okay, maybe I will.
Okay.
Cut to her getting coffee with Jonathan.
Hey.
Hey, Rose.
Tutu said that you wanted to meet up.
Yeah, I just thought, you know.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you, too.
You haven't changed.
Oh, my God.
Neither have you, gorgeous girl.
Stop.
You're kidding.
I'm not.
No, I aged.
Hey, that's life, though.
I mean, my God, like, how grateful we should be.
Like, what a gift it is to age.
You're not wrong about that.
You're not wrong about that.
But you don't really look like you have.
Okay.
What do you.
Oh, come on.
Stop.
Hey, barista.
I'll take one.
This guy's skincare routine.
Stop.
No.
Tutu gives me these awesome elixirs and it's like a lot of collagen and colostrum, you
know, stuff like that.
No, she's the best.
She's honestly like a sister to me.
Say that again.
She's like a sister to me. Say that again. She's like a sister to me.
Your girlfriend.
To, to.
Yeah.
Nothing bumps for you with that.
No, she's my sissy.
She's like my sister.
Like the way that you do,
like the love you have for a family member.
The way you do.
She said that you wanted me to ask
me something. Well, I'm all ears.
You know, you've always been
my favorite of Tutu's friends.
Really? Yes.
I kind of, I don't know, I always kind of
got the impression you were more of a
Marion fan.
Oh, gosh. I mean, listen, I'm never
one to badmouth anybody,
especially women.
Yeah.
But...
And the dead?
I mean,
may she rest.
Women and the dead.
And the fact that Marion
is both of those things...
She's a dead woman.
Like, I would...
Never...
Yeah, a dead woman.
...say anything bad about her.
But...
But here it comes.
You know.
No, no, no.
And that's why I won't.
That's all.
Leave it.
Because I'll say something about that dead B-I-T-C-H.
Hey, come on, Rose.
It's not like you.
I'm just saying she cheated.
On the bar exam.
Well, we all know that.
I think that's messed up.
Malpractice out the wazoo.
Yeah, I think that's messed up.
That's all.
Oh, I agree.
She got what was coming to her i
guess that is oh i'm sorry that felt weird that's really fucked up um i guess what i wanted to ask
you about was um she got what was coming no we don't have to dwell on that no it's just like
rose you've always been the sweetest,
the sweetest flower in the garden, other than my
petunia, of course. Isn't that funny that we were both
named after flowers? You're like a
bouquet. Yeah. But
Rose, Petunia, and Marion.
Sometimes a bouquet
goes bad. And Rose,
I hope that... I don't think I've ever heard that.
I hope that
that's not what's happening to you.
Because that was a really dark and twisted thing you just said about our late friend Marion.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I think I was jealous of Marion.
Because she made a lot of money?
Yeah, because after she cheated her way through law school, cheated on the bar, and she landed that huge big law job, and she was raking in the cash.
And, you know, obviously it became clear after she was embezzling, but I didn't know that at the time.
I thought it was all, you know, lawful gain, you know.
Of course, we all did.
We all did.
Right.
And that's what I told them.
That's what I told the cops, you know.
You know, they were so convinced I knew something, and I really didn't.
We knew that she cheated on the bar, but we thought that that was kind of the most right i never thought
she would cheat like the company out of money like that i never thought that anyway and so i
was jealous and i'll be honest i'm jealous of i'm jealous of petunia well i hardly blame you she is
kind of the best girl in the world, my sissy. Don't you?
Don't you ever feel like maybe what you two have is like... Special?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
That maybe like she is...
Is this what you wanted to ask me about?
Me and Tutu?
Yeah, like that she is a sister to you.
What do you mean?
Well, that maybe, you know...
What are you implying, Rose?
I'm just saying, maybe your relationship isn't fully, you know...
No, I don't know.
Romantic. Maybe you'd be happier.
Would a relationship that is not romantic, would the guy be
laying out flowers and champagne
on a Wednesday night just because?
Yeah, I mean, it feels like you're trying a little hard.
Like, are you trying to prove it to yourself or
prove it to her or us? Taking her out to
romantic dinners and
feeling her up at lookout
point on a Saturday just
because. Lookout point?
I don't even know you can still get up there.
Would he be getting it up on a Monday night just because?
Yeah, Jonathan.
That is my sissy.
This whole conversation.
And.
Stop.
She called you gay.
Okay.
She said to me last week jonathan walked out wearing these jeans and they were super fucking gay
she did not she said that your girlfriend your beloved sissy which is oh my god i know what happened no no no no no i
know what there's no way there's no way i know what happened and you are listen you are being
such a good friend to me right now and i know your heart's in the right place but i'm gonna tell you
exactly what happened because this is very easily explainable okay i recently came out to her as
bisexual okay and so she said
She was honestly
She said she looked at me
Probably what you saw is that she looked at me
She goes you are super fucking gay
And I said yes I am
I said
She said those genes
Are super fucking gay
She was talking about my DNA
Because she knows that I was born
That's not I support super fucking gay. She was talking about my DNA because she knows that I was born like this.
Like it's not a choice.
I support that you're bi.
I actually love that.
Doesn't sound like it, Rose.
No, I actually love that.
It really doesn't sound like it.
No, a lot of people don't know that,
but me and Marion like made out a couple of times in college.
I'm just saying that it really sounds like,
especially like there's a lot of birasure around men.
And so what I'm hearing is that it's like-
I totally agree. No, I feel like you are vehemently disagreeing no no i'm serious i might need to talk to petunia
about what kind of company she's keeping no john john jonathan jono jonathan because like this
biphobia the bi erasure i'm not biphobic it's like my brother's gay. I gotta go.
No, wait.
You look... You're such a...
You're a pansy.
See, I can do it too.
I'm cool.
I'm just like your sister.
Your sister, you fuck.
Do we have time for one more? I don't know if I have the strength for one more. Francesca. day now. Okay, give me a minute. I'm cooking. Let him cook!

title is adorable
gave it to a professor
as an inside joke
and she loved it
no weird smell, soft and squishy
read that one more time for me as an inside joke. No. And she loved it. Absolutely not. No weird smell, soft and squishy. What?
Read that one more time for me.
Gave it to a professor
as an inside joke
and she loved it.
No weird smell,
soft and squishy.
Where'd you go?
You fully went off camera.
Do some of them have a weird smell?
Maybe.
Gave it to a professor is an inside joke.
I'm just saying, we went to theater school.
Yes.
You and I know a thing or two about overly close, overly relationships with professors yes i would say it
was sort of rampant yes she's like my sister i would still have found it odd if i found out
that somebody had just out of the blue bought a gift for a professor bought a stuffed animal as an inside joke.
And that's in theater school.
If this is any other discipline,
even weirdness level goes tenfold.
Hey,
uh,
uh,
Sarah,
thank you so much for coming into office hours today.
I know that you had plans.
You're working on your thesis.
Do you know why I called you in today?
Is it about the bibliography?
No.
Because I meant to cite the Wilson book, but I... That's okay.
You can incorporate that into your next draft.
I thought it was pretty clear.
I should have cited it. That's okay. That's that into your next draft I thought it was pretty clear I should have
cited it
that much
that's okay
that's okay
I'm sorry I didn't
nope it's okay
we can move on from that
I would never plagiarize
I just want you to know that
that's okay
I don't believe you would
you are a very good student
way too seriously
I would never do that
in any class
certainly not yours
thank you
and I appreciate that
you are a very good student you're a
very good writer and your narrative work this semester has been fantastic i do mean that thank
you um that means a lot coming from you uh well that's actually what i wanted to talk to you about
today yeah i think that the way that you see me and interact with me needs to remain strictly professional in an academic setting.
I couldn't agree more.
Yes.
So you did ultimately give me a toy shaped like a bowl of oatmeal.
Right.
And it has a smiley face, arms, and legs.
Okay. Don't know why you're telling me this i
remember doing it yes i the card that came along with it yeah um that i think was more concerning
than why would you need a stuffed animal shaped like a bowl of oatmeal because that is not let me
stop you right there let me stop you right there. Let me stop you right there, Chief.
No, actually, no, no.
I'm going to keep talking.
Thank you, though.
But you can, you can.
That's, okay.
So the card.
The firm hand of the professor.
Let.
Struck the table with vigor.
Sent a shiver down her spine.
So that is, yes, you are quoting the card directly.
It's the first couple lines
of the card.
I'm just saying,
you're a fan of my narrative work
or you're not a fan
of my narrative work?
And then you went on to say,
picked up a little something
for you,
but I'm sure you know
that already.
And then a laugh,
you kind of drew
the laughing,
crying emoji.
Yeah.
And then you said, don't you remember?
Right.
Love, Sarah.
I do not remember.
Oh.
Because I don't think anything.
I am strictly your professor.
And I appreciate I can take on a kind of mentor role.
But this is not.
We're not friends, Sarah.
I couldn't agree more. I can take on a kind of mentor role, but this is not, like, we're not friends, Sarah. I couldn't agree more. I do not. Are you sure? I do not want to be friends with you.
The card was a reference, the oatmeal was a reference to, I don't, I'm surprised you don't remember, but it was week two. I came into class and I had
brought my huge
thermos full of oatmeal like I do every day
and I have always said no food in class
that is a big rule that I have
and you let out a big sigh
and you said
oatmeal
again
this girl's gonna turn into a horse.
You don't remember saying that.
Sorry, you might have closed this door.
I'm going to close the door.
No, actually, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to close the door.
Sarah, Sarah, we're going to keep that open.
We're going to keep that open.
I'll just say, okay.
We're going to keep that open.
Middle ground, crack it.
I'm going to crack it. Nope, we're going to keep that open. I just feel like this is a personal conversation. We're going to keep that open. I're going to keep that open. Middle ground. Crack it. I'm going to crack it.
Nope.
We're going to keep that open.
I just feel like this is a personal conversation.
Fully open it.
We're going to keep that open.
I just feel like this is a personal conversation.
I'm just going to shut it a little bit.
Nope.
Sarah, we are ultimately going to keep the door open.
I, regardless of whether I said the comment about the horse or not, I do remember saying,
uh, oatmeal again, because that was the fourth time that week that you had brought an oatmeal
after I had said, after I had said, please no food in class. It's very distracting. And a couple
other students said the smell of her oatmeal is making me want to gag. It's a special ingredient.
What I said, what I said, what I said was, oh, oatmeal again. It's delicious. Tastes like caramel.
And then I said, please, Sarahah for like the respect of me and your
fellow students stop bringing food into class once you and i've said this before and i'll say it
again once you get used to the smell it won't bother you anymore i that doesn't matter you can
eat whatever food you like outside of the classroom oh thank you for permission the hell i'm i'm i didn't realize you were my dietitian and my creative writing professor um
all i'm saying is okay stop bringing oatmeal in the class and stop giving me presents we don't
have any inside jokes we don't i i just um i appreciate the kind gesture, and I appreciate that you view me with a kind of fondness.
I'd rather that than the alternative, but it has to stay strictly professional.
Great.
Sarah chokes down the last of her durian, locking eyes with a sultry professor.
Okay, and so this is ultimately what I was worried about.
What? okay and so this is ultimately what I was worried about I fear that you
are veering into
a sexual
kind of
parasocial relationship
fantasy made reality
nope Sarah this is where I'm going to
have to ask that this either
gets shut down right now or
I'm going to have to transfer you to another class
I will zip it up.
Okay.
Great.
He nodded in knowing recognition of what was shared between the two of them.
No, no, no, no, no.
Nothing was shared.
Nothing was shared.
What we're sharing is an understanding that we are strictly professional.
I do not view you in that way I have a wife
I have a family you are my
student and I do not see you
in that way no me
me either yes
you do and I'm asking you to not okay
message received loud and
clear great

eyes no I did not professor I Great. Please leave my classroom. She felt him undressing her with his eyes.
No, I did not.
Professor.
No, I did not.
Looking at the cameras in the room.
I did not.
I was not doing that. He slammed the door shut and covered the cameras.
The doors are open and the cameras are on.
Professor.
You are not making this happen.
Professor.
Sarah, I'm going to count to five.
And if you are not out of my office by then, I am going to have to call the superintendent.

Great.
Close the door on your way out, please. Close my door on the way in? Nope, close'm leaving. Great. Close the door on your way out, please.

We're going to take...
I take out the oatmeal toy.
You're going to take this with you.
Okay, fine.
You're taking that with you.
I don't want it.
Okay.
She grabs the toy.
The telltale scent is on it.
I don't know what that could mean.
The smell of oatmeal?
That musky scent she's come to know all too well from the professor.
That's just my old spice.
It's just my old spice, dear.
He uses too much and she doesn't even mind.
That's okay.
Please leave.
Like a middle school boy, he sprays it on way too much.
That's all right. Okay. Great. Great.
What does his wife see in him? Nobody knows.
A lot. We've been together for 25 years.
She's sick of him, but she doesn't know how to say it.
Sarah, get the fuck out.
Wow. Swearing at fuck out. Wow.
Swearing at a student.
Nice.
Oh my God.
And I just want to say that's the reality for higher education,
for teachers in higher education today.
They can't catch a break.
Let's go to our final segment.
Okay.

I just want you guys to know that
This shook me
All week long

Oh, if the shoe fits every year, I see the Oscar nominated animated shorts.

what that means but i don't even know what the color colors are yeah right that's like they're
all like 10 15 minutes 20 minutes long and they show them in like five you know in order um and
and this year's were bad or i don't want to say that well you just did Daniel leave it in
no Daniel cut that out
Alf just called them all bad
no when I host SNL like Iowa Devery
and the director of one of the
Oscar nominated shorts is the musical guest
that's because of the J-Lo thing
I'm sure this will be topical in nine weeks
when this comes out
the last year thing it's really yes i'm sure it's be topical in nine weeks when this comes out um the uh
last year there was a short it was ice merchants was the name of it and it is there's no dialogue
you know it's all orchestrated you know it's silent except for the soundtrack
and so not silent yeah what the hell and i think the hell? And I think there's like environmental stuff.
Like I think you hear
like it's not silent.
There's just no talking.
Coral green, ginger puppy,
silent movie with music.
I just want to say
I know I got to say this real quick.
If you don't like this episode
I'm sorry
because there's going to be a lot more like this.
Because we are recording.
It is 840 on a Friday night.
Okay?
So anyway, Ice Merchants.
It was a wonderful, beautiful film.
I cried in the theater.
I rewatched it again yesterday.
But this was not this year.
This was last year.
I cried in the theater watching it.
So what's shaking you is a movie from last year.
Oh, okay, Mrs.
What's shaking me is that I am sexually aroused by a cartoon character from a movie that came out 15 years ago.
That's every fucking one of your What Shook Me's.
And I say a year old short film is What Shook Me.
And you've got an issue with that?
I'm over it.
Fucking quibble, Tina. Go off. I'm over it. Fucking quibble Tina.
Go off.
I'm over it.
What's your shit?
I don't even care.
What's shaking me.
Yeah, what is?
Is excitement.
What's shaking me.
Okay.
Is that I'm going to see Madame Web tonight.
Oh, Madame Web.
Madame Web.
And what's shaking me about that is that not only am i gonna go see madame whip
okay but also the new amc nicole kidman uh holy shit packages is this your first time i think
there's three of them it's my first time seeing the new ones and i think it's like there's there's

heartbreak feels bad
in a place like this
so I'm I'm what's shaking

Robin Hood yeah I want to fuck him too
what's new?
Like, whatever.
Whatever.
But yeah, I'm excited for Madam Web.
I'm excited for Nicole Kidman.
And that's shaking my ass.
I thought Madam Web was a Marvel movie.
It is not.
I saw a tweet that said, it was like a quote tweet of press tour Dakota Johnson.
And someone tweeted, i think she very
much thought that she was signing on to a marvel movie of course and that is very funny that's not
true ellen well actually that's not true ellen you were invited because you um you threw a fucking
fit when i didn't invite you to my party you can actually never mind no have you seen the clip where dakota
johnson talks about being on the final episode of the office no it's really funny i can't wait
because she's like oh it was the worst day of my life none of them speak to each other it was so
fucking awkward like no one would talk to me oh my god she's a case study she
doesn't have a filter neither do you and you can you can find that on instagram at
at alfred inna you can find the show on instagram at review review reddit r slash review review
discord where it always pops off at review review review, uh, head game discord. And then Jeffrey,
James and I,
Patreon,
patreon.com slash Ryan Jeff.
Also,
we need more theme songs,
guys.
We,
this is a call to action,
original music.
We need it or else we're going to be doing some acapella theme songs and
nobody wants that.
Um,
so yeah,
send them over,
send them over.
And I'm going to reiterate.
Sorry, reviewreviewshow at gmail.com.
What I said last time,
which is that just because we can't be playing all these copyrighted songs anymore
doesn't mean they have to be originals, okay?
There are, dare I say, centuries of music
that you don't need to worry about.
Sony is not going to come for your ass.
Great, great reminder.
If Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain, so is, you know, a Noel Coward song.
Steamboat Mickey.
