Was that a parody of 99 Revolutions by Green Day, am i making that up i think that's right let me just triple check because i don't want to sound like a fucking
idiot it's it's one of those bands but not one of the ones that i listen to it's one of those emo
shits no it's not it's it's like blink i don't know what anyway it's like. It's like blink.
I don't know what.
Anyway, it's like a new wave band.
It doesn't matter.
That was amazing.
That came in from Lorne Michaels.
Yeah.
No, that came in from Lorne with a different M last name.
I never know if people want to.
Yeah, Lorne M from Toronto.
He said, after I heard the recent podcast and you mentioned you were nearing your 100th episode I decided to make a theme song for
you guys themed specifically towards this grand occasion oh my god it's a parody of Nina's 99 red
balloons right right 99 red balloons I would not know that okay um called 99 strange reviews that
was amazing he also submitted the we didn't Start the Fire theme song a couple months
ago, and we didn't say what his name
was. So sorry, Lauren,
but happy 100th, he says. Lauren, I love
your work on Saturday Night Now.
No, he doesn't, yeah.
Jeffrey!
It was easy to get to this
place. It really was not.
It was like
it wasn't even a long time coming because there's
first episode and then suddenly we're here i don't think so there's first well there's first
episode through maybe seventh then there's a devastating global pandemic then there's us
doing this on zoom for the better part of a year and a half correct there's us doing one episode
in person but the sound was bad so there's us waiting for the HeadGum studio
to be complete.
Can't wait for that in 2025.
Yep.
I asked Marty about it today,
but he wasn't in the Slack channel
that we were talking about it in.
And so he didn't respond.
But Jake was like, honestly, I can answer for Marty.
Yeah.
And then he kind of did a Marty impersonation of a text.
And it was like, oh, yeah, it's going along along slow but i'll text the guy and he never does we love you marty
um holy shit my love's conditional for marty and it is conditional on us getting into it by the new
year if it's not open by december that's stupid then we quit and i'll go out yeah Then we quit. And I'll go on. Yeah, then we quit. Then we quit. Then we go to fucking forever dog.
Forever dog.
Dog.
Jeffrey, what a time.
To be alive. What a time to be alive, to be reading reviews.
What do you remember?
Oh, God, where to start?
I mean, as an embryo just swimming around in the sack.
Of the show.
What do you remember of the show?
Of the show, a lot of laughs.
You remember that far that's scientifically improbable um well i mean that theme song alone like
all the names the names my god the names i i want to get a master list of every name that we've done
and do a review of your name generator
because there's just so many.
But I mean, it's just like it's...
There's some that are just so long ago
that I just forget.
I mean, a hundred is a lot of episodes
and it is really crazy.
Well, we started last January,
so how many months has it been?
It's been 19 months.
19 months.
That's a long time
when I put it like that.
That's a long time.
Because I still feel like
it's only been a year.
I know.
But it's closer to two years than one.
And I remember just like,
and I know you've talked about this on the show extensively, but it's and i remember just like and we've i know you've talked about
this on the show extensively but it's like going from recording like seven eps in person
to then being like okay we're gonna do duoprov over zoom for like 16 months but i thought it
was good we all we thought it's gonna be two months and i was like well okay well these next
two months will be kind of difficult but like then we'll get back to the studio and it'll all be good.
And now it's going to, yeah.
We've talked about this at length.
We have.
But I'm excited for the next chapter to hopefully be getting back in the studio soon.
But I don't see it happening until probably January.
I don't know, Marty.
I don't know.
I'm mad at him.
I'm not going to hold back.
I'm mad at Marty.
And that's a different race.
And so a lot of people are, I think. And not even for the podcasting thing just like personal stuff um but
yeah the names they're i mean just like different scenes like there's some like some even just like
little um i think this is from the british pubs episode of like the the guy who went to a gay bar
but didn't know it was a gay bar and then they poured beer in my shoes
so I couldn't leave.
Like what the fuck are we talking about?
What do you mean?
What do you...
But in this world, it exists for real.
I love...
Like what kind of characters do you remember?
Because there's some that are just very near
and dear to my heart.
Well, it's funny because like there's this episode
and then we did the best of last December.
So I feel like we've already done some reflection and a lot of my favorite episode and then we did the best of last december so i
feel like we've already done some reflection and a lot of my favorite episodes are we're in
already september now yeah which means that like yeah because we're gonna do best ofs in what three
months two months like it is it has almost been a year since our best of of the year crazy yeah
so i'm trying to think of like ones from since then uh that we haven't reflected on uh the Herbie fully loaded car episode that we recorded in that was when we did in person and
you're in the room you're in right now uh that one was that's probably my favorite of this year
um I love Rodney who's just shown up every now and again, like super roided up, like really
like not well.
Rodney.
Yeah.
Rodney's become a favorite of mine.
It's just been I just I'm getting very emo and I just want to say I love you so much.
You're my best friend.
Daniel, cut this out.
No, keep it in, Daniel.
This is insane.
It's important.
You're my best friend, and I love you,
and I couldn't imagine going on this crazy journey we call life
or review review with anyone else.
Yeah, mostly the show.
You're acting like This is a marriage proposal
No I love doing the show
Will you be my bride?
No absolutely not
No
What about Johnny Villa
And he's a bride and it's bride villa

the eastern european exchange student yeah It was the king of the Navy.
Shelby Woolstein's sheriff character from the Life Threatening Hikes episode.
Yes, the press conference.
Yeah.
It's easy to remember the ones with guests because they're not always on the show.
The other ones kind of blend together.
I'm trying to remember which other ones.
There was, oh, Heinz was good.
Yes.
Rolling Backpacks.
I had a lot of fun.
Oh, I mean the Kit Kat
and the cheese uh the craft singles is one of my favorite episodes of yes the fucking of the cheese
the fucking of the cheese and we had fucking Ben Schwartz on the show between now and the best of
so that's like crazy of a chapter um yeah it that's insane I'm just so this is wild uh but
we should get moving because we have
some special guests
on today
we do have some special guests
I think we shouldn't

we'll figure it out later
but I'm wondering
if we keep it a surprise

and then see
so we have special guests on
and they are coming soon
so let's get to it
the theme of today's episode
so for a hundred
I was about to say years

It's been something that people have requested, this theme, this topic.
We are reviewing reviews.
Reviewing reviews.
Of Review Review.
And other podcasts with our special guests.
We'll get to that later.
Yes.
You want to start us off?
I'll start us off with a review of Review Review.
With a review of review review with a review of review review fuck there were a lot of really interesting one i mean
i'm trying to i'm trying to pick there's some they're just like really long and like written
very funny and then there's some that just like i think are earnest and really make me laugh um
so okay i'm gonna do um can i do a little best of i'm gonna do one that just made me laugh. Yeah. So, okay.
I'm going to do,
can I do a little best of?
I'm going to do one
that just made me laugh
of like the way it's written
and then the other one
that I would like to do
improv off of.
Let's do it.
Okay, here we go.
This one that just really
made me giggle.
This is five stars
from Deli of the Ghetto
and the title is
Is This Nirvana?
Picture yourself free from the constraints
of a stable home gracefully perched on a park bench shivering to the bone in upper 60 degree
weather eliciting concerned stares from parents as they usher their children out of your general
vicinity due to your unsettling and incessant cackling at a mere podcast sounds liberating
therapeutic even while you're in for a snack from the moment the first
shrill tones of review review gush from your speakers penetrate your ears and trickle down
your essence you may as well be a vagrant of sorts because there's only one thing on your mind
what time is it the jokes are there the banter fine but buckle up neo you just took the bread
pill and like it or not you're along for this bumpy ride. The improv comes and goes.
Time flies as swift as a kite.
And when the pods hour is up, you'll swear it was only 45 minutes because you were right there on that park bench and it was home.
Oh, well, back to the mortgage for me.
Back to the mortgage.
So thank you so much.
That really, that's exactly right.
You've taken the bread pill and you're along for the ride.
Okay, here we go.
This is five stars.
Also, thank you for these five star reviews.
Five stars from Grand Frank One.
So can we get a last name for Grand Frank One?
That's all one name?
That's all their first name.
Grand Frank One Hour Photo.
Grand Frank One, last name, Hour Photo. Hour Photo. Grand Frank One Last Name Hour
Photo. Hour Photo, yeah, yeah.
Okay, the
title for this five
star review is
funny, but yeah.
Show makes
me laugh, but is also good for listening.
Watched Gilmore Girls because they spoke
about it. Really cool to be in my
twenties and listening to this
i recommend this podcast and their patreon which seems cool so i finally paid four dollars seconds
before writing this really cool to be in my 20s listening to this like it's just they make me see
life in like like wow this is the time that i'm in
talking about your 20s in relation to anything
that you're like consuming media wise.
It's really like, honestly,
like season two of Fleabag just ended.
Oh my God.
I am, can I just be the first to say like,
one, that was such a beautiful show.
Yeah.
And I'm so glad we're all here together.
I mean, it's like, it's our last,
it's our last day of summer before our first day of grad school. And I just have to say, like, you guys, can you believe that we're in our 20s watching Fleabag about a woman in her 30s? And like, we're about to go into grad school with a mix of 20 and 30 year olds. But we're not like, I just can't believe like the time we're in. Yeah. Um, we all got together cause Richard's mom just passed away and we were trying
to cheer him up with his favorite show.
So let's talk about that instead of like,
sorry.
I mean like Richard,
I am so sorry for your loss,
Richard.
Your mom was an incredible woman.
And how crazy is it to lose a parent in your 20s
like you're too young to be burying your mom well it's not crazy it's just it hurts yeah it hurts a
lot yeah it hurts because it's like in a way you're still a kid but you're also a grown man
you know it's like you're you're 26 so it's like you're a kiddo but you're also big guy and so i
think it's maybe we talk about something else.
Oh, my God.
Of course.
Of course.
I am – what are your plans for the funeral?
Are you going to do a reading at the service?
Yeah, I'm going to do a reading, one of my favorite Bible passages,
and just figure it out.
But, no, it's like – it was nice to watch Fleabag with you guys.
I really got my mind off of it.
So I appreciate it.
But let's not talk about age or death or family because I'm on the verge of tears here.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys want a drink?
Maybe we could just – we're here to distract Tommy.
So let's just focus on that.
The Bible is really interesting now that you bring that up.
How so?
Because it's like, well, Jesus was in his 30s when he died.
And you can only imagine that the age range of kind of everyone around it, like, that's pretty surreal to be like.
Well, he was executed. He was executed by the state.
So that's.
No, I know. I just mean, like, if you're one of like the apostles, you're probably in your what? Late 20s, early 30s?
Like, what are we doing? Like, they wrote the Bible.
And like, what, we're sitting around watching Fleabag and going to grad school for journalism?
Like, what are we doing?
Yeah.
It's just hard because, like, people's lifespan were different.
And, again, we really shouldn't talk about death because Tommy's, like, again, now he's starting to cry.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's all right.
It's like when I'm on my deathbed i want to look back
and be like i lived my life you know like like richard your older brother he's in his 50s now
and like but when he was our age he had a kid already what are we doing we don't have kids
we're sitting here drinking mike's hard lemonade watching fleabag yeah it's to cheer tommy up
because his mom is dead.
That's like, I just don't think that,
can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, man, let's focus on him, right?
Let's see what he needs and give it to him.
Like, I want to validate your experience of this,
whatever you're like, I don't know what you're going through.
There's clearly something else going on,
but let's not take away from Tommy's.
No, I completely agree.
You know what? I feel really bad because in my mind, it's like we're talking about anything other than his mom so i thought that you're talking about death you're talking about death you're talking
about religion you're talking about spirituality these are all things that relate to his mom i'm
talking about like i'm talking about the passage of time i'm talking about like how crazy that
we're in the age that we're in and just kind of looking at from a bird's eye view of like whoa
like and that's what we're trying to get away from because he's already having those crises.
And he's valid in doing it more so because his mom is dead, right?
So he's thinking about age.
He's thinking about timing.
He's thinking about what it even means to be human.
And so let's talk about surface level things for him so that he can kind of get his mind off it,
which is what the night's entirely about.
Fleabag surface level.
Totally.
Getting a drink at surface level.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's – yeah.
I'm sorry.
Just don't get deep.
Just don't get deep. Let't get deep let's say that
okay okay that yeah it's just like i feel like you're gonna get deep but let's just it's gonna
be fun all right tommy yes thank you guys i'm gonna have a night another mike's hard um yeah
yeah did you guys see the uh first week nfl American football. Love American football.
Yeah, man, it was awesome.
That Chiefs-Browns game was pretty good.
Tommy, do you ever think about what it would be like if you
hadn't left your hometown and what
kind of life you would have there?
I don't really want to talk about that because part of the
reason that I'm grieving is that
I just spent a lot of time with my mother.
Right.
Because I'm not going to be around.
Right. No, I'm just... Chance, around. Right. No, I'm just.
Chance, you fucking asshole.
No, I'm sorry.
I was thinking about it.
It's like, oh, what fun he could have had over there.
And like how crazy that we all met.
And now we're here together.
It's just hard.
So we can comfort him.
Yes.
So we can comfort you.
Because I didn't get to see her the last couple of years.
And I just like, I didn't go home for Christmas.
But it's hard.
You know, I was in the States and just so hard to get it's expensive and to get over there and then yeah
i'm sorry you guys no tommy it's it's all right man it's all right it's all right what were you
doing that you couldn't get back sorry it's just like you you didn't travel but but this is because
you're traveling for work right like you're having an unbelievable job and you're traveling for work right like you have an unbelievable job and you're traveling for work right shut up no i just think it's amazing i just think it's amazing that tommy tommy is an
incredible documentary filmmaker and he's going around the world he's telling stories of how paper
towels are made it just seems so small now no it's not small because you are 23 goddamn years old and
you you are a globetrotter what are we doing
richard what are we doing what are we doing at this age when it doesn't matter it doesn't matter
chance it doesn't matter because he's grieving right it doesn't matter what we think we're doing
or whether we're on the right path i grabbed tommy by the shirt tommy you have a well of life
experience that i have yet to know you have a well of tears i wipe them you have a well of life experience that I have yet to know. I have a well of tears in my eyes. You have a well of tears. I wipe them.
You have a well of tears in your eyes.
You have a well of life experience.
And I want some of that from you, man.
Give me your grief.
Give me your knowledge.
I kind of grab you off of him.
Get off of him, man.
Get off of him.
I have nothing.
I have nothing.
I've done nothing with my life.
I am a baby, but also a man.
And I don't know when I am or who I'm meant to be, but Tommy knows everything.
It doesn't matter right now.
Your parents are alive and together.
His mom's died.
His mom's died?
Both of his mom's died?
Both of his mom's died.
Oh, now you're orphaned.
Oh my god, he's orphaned at 23.
I wish I could have.
Get out, Chance.
No, now I feel bad.
No, he's actually crying.
No, you should have felt bad five minutes ago.
Of course he's weeping.
I don't know how to cry in English.
You don't have to cry in English, Tommy.
It's all crying.
You don't have to cry in English.
You're English.
He means an American accent.
He means an American accent. Hey, Richard, before I go, I understand I've killed the mood. I'm happy cry in English. You're English. He means an American accent. He means an American accent.
Hey, Richard, before I go,
I understand I've killed the mood.
I'm happy to leave.
But before I go,
Richard,
I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but I feel like if I don't do it-
Then don't say it.
Then don't say it if it's gonna sound crazy.
Then it's like I'm not gonna have lived in my 20s.
Will you marry me?
What?
No.
I don't know.
We don't even like each other on a friendship level.
You're his friend.
I know, but I feel like it could be a life experience that we had.
Tommy, I'm so sorry.
No, it's all right.
It's all right.
You know what?
It actually, that actually made me feel a lot better.
What?
What?
If you, if I know it sounds crazy, but if you guys tied the knot, maybe I'd have a family then.
Tommy, it's just like, I know you're grieving.
It just, that's like, that poses serious, like legal complications for me and, and, and Richard.
And like, I just don't know.
No, no, I know what it means.
I know what it means.
I just like, guys said you want to cheer me up.
I'd love to cheer you up. And what better than for us to have like this crazy whirlwind romance,
legal battle,
you know,
like then now in our lives,
I think that that's a good time to ever do that.
It's always an accident.
When?
Cause we're young enough now to learn from our mistakes later,
but we're too old to let life pass us by.
Richard.
I,
it may be,
it's the grave talking,
but if you don't do this, you're a horrible friend to me. I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree by. Richard, I, maybe it's the grave talking, but if you don't do this,
you're a horrible friend to me. I couldn't
agree more. Are you kidding? No, you guys are both
crazy. Fine, fine! Cut to the altar.
So we'll just do
the standard vows, I guess. There's no way that
you had time to write your own.
Oh, I mean, if you didn't write your own, then I don't have to.
Yeah, it's stupid. It's stupid. I guess I don't have to.
You wrote your own, but went in the car? This is...
How?
I've been planning for something like this.
You never know.
Hey, to quote one of the greatest minds of our time,
life moves pretty fast.
If you don't take a sec,
if you don't stop to look around once in a while,
you might miss it.
Yeah, I don't know.
And now the reading of the vows.
Thank you, Father.
I'll start.
And from the heart.
From the heart.
Yes, I'll do it from the heart.
This is crazy.
Chance, ever since Tommy said that it would mean a ton to him
if we got married, that's when I kind of decided I would.
And I hope that this kind of makes,
Tommy, I hope this makes you feel better.
And, you know,
marriage or no marriage,
you have family and us.
I think that's good enough, right?
No way yours is longer than that.
That's beautiful.
I unfurl a scroll that goes down to the floor.
Are you fucking kidding me?
What is this printed on?
That looks like a hide.
Richard Michael Jenkins.
I knew.
No way.
From the day that you were born.
We didn't know each other.
That we were destined to be together.
It was written in the stars and in Tommy's heart.
And that's why he spoke it to us so clearly this afternoon.
When he said that it would mean a lot to him for us to get married.
You are a bright star and a bright soul. I will
love you for the rest of my days and hopefully, Tommy, you seeing this
happen will bring you comfort and joy. But you know me.
It's brought me more joy than anything in the world.
I'm a wild bird.
I can't be tied down. I need to live my life and get every life experience possible before I hit 28.
Tell me, this is...
And so, for that reason...
Nowhere.
I don't.
What?
I throw the scroll and I'm in a long long bridal train
And I start running down the aisle
Are you kidding me?
I can't do this
I'm
Oh my fucking
Tommy I'm so sorry about this
No this was
This was better than I even fucking hoped
Cause now
I know that she's really
He's really fucking following his passion.
What, man?
This is insane.
Now I can say I left someone at the altar.
Tommy stands up.
This is what I needed.
Are you happy, mom?
The priest is tearing up.
This is, are you kidding?
This isn't beautiful.
No way this is beautiful to you.
And so that's what we'd like to pitch to A24.
We think you'd be a perfect house
for this kind of coming of age film
that travels over time, space, romance, love, loss,
and finding yourself in your 20s.
The executive is like leaned back in his chair
on his phone barely paying attention what oh yeah sure uh four million dollars get paul dano in it
somehow and just if we shoot it cool people will fucking go to it i don't care it's good do you
think do you think this guy's hot shows you a raya profile uh Yeah. Cool, yeah. That's what I thought.
All right, I'll go.
All right, cool.
We validate.
It's book smart, too.
Leave.
All right, should we bring our,
or we should take a break,
and then we should come back
with our first guest of the day.
Special guests.
Ah, our first special guests.
That's a lot of guests.
Our first out of the many special
guests. Yeah. Can you believe it?
Oh, God.
Are you drunk?
Yeah. You should just...

And we're back.
Riley's chomping on a raw bell pepper.
Not anymore.
I just swallowed it.
Swallowed chunks.
I saw you didn't chew it fully. Don't say swallowed chunks.
Without further ado, we should bring on our guests.
Without further ado, let's bring on some of our favorite guests we've ever had.

Jeffrey,
question.
Yes.
So obviously mom and dad are in first and second position,
but now I'm going to make you choose between your favorite kids.
Who is in third and who is in fourth between Adam and I?
Let's go third.
The quiver.
The quiver.
Billy.
Billy in fourth.
Billy in fourth.
That's fair.
That's fair.
What is that based on?
Just out of curiosity.
I humbly accept the bronze.
It's based on the fact that you and I have only ever had good communication.
And on the last couple of HeadGum podcasts,
Billy's kind of tried to sabotage the show from within.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was going to mention on this podcast,
A, it's lovely to be on this podcast because Riley is here.
Oh, thank you.
But the on-off switch of mean Jeff to sweet Jeff is art, folks.
It's whiplash.
It's real whiplash.
That's a hairpin turn.
Absolutely is.
And as the guest, I also have to go in saying,
you're not mean to Jeffrey on this program.
So you're getting nice guest from Billy today, Jeff.
Hell yeah, hell yeah.
Thank you guys so much for being here.
Thank you for having us.
Congratulations on one hundo. Thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you for having us. Congratulations on one hundo.
Thank you.
It's really crazy.
And before you guys got here,
we were talking about some of our favorite memories
from the show, just things that we could pull.
And of course, we came back to y'all's episode at Old Navy.
And Adam is just the king, the king of the Navy.
The,
uh,
the foreign exchange student.
Yeah.
My favorite was the third one where we were customer service.
I really,
customer service was also great.
I haven't dropped so many F bombs in the podcast.
So rude.
Oh,
so great.
Uh,
so we're so happy to have you back now.
And for today's episode, since you know, our show is all about reviews,
and it is a podcast, and you both have a podcast,
a very funny, incredible podcast.
Again, if you haven't listened to it, which if you're listening to this,
you probably have, no joke podcast.
We are reviewing reviews of all of our podcasts.
You could only.
You could only. We could only.
Only for the 100th episode.
That's right.
So Jeff pulled a review of the No Joke Pod.
Oh, God.
I don't know what it is yet.
Okay.
Of all the people to pick a review for the No Joke Pod,
it had to be Jeff.
It had to be me.
All right, are we all ready yes sir born ready
this is a five star review as one is want to do
of your guys' show
from Dan Herrero
Dev
five stars the title is more than just a podcast
oh I don't think so
that's interesting because we don't do any video content
so we are really just a podcast.
I think it's an inside joke from the show, an episode like early pandemic.
So here we go.
Yes, this is a fantastic podcast.
But it's so much more than that.
It's also a Hall of Fame located in Reno, Nevada.
Yeah.
That's right.
That's the beginning and end of the review.
That is it. so the review started with
a simple affirmative yes yes yes it is a podcast it's also so much more than that i i just love
someone treating something with such reverence that they actually overstep and over put too
much emphasis on something to the point where it's incorrect. Well, Adam and I can actually relate to that
because I think that our default setting is sincere.
And sometimes in the world of trying to be funny,
sincerity is just like,
what on earth are you talking about right now?
Well, have you guys seen the billboards?
Because kindness is actually making a comeback.
It's in, it's back in, right?
It's in.
Kindness is back in?
Yes.
That's a good note for you, Jeffrey.
I said I'd be a nice guest,
but that's just a good reminder.
Just a subtle reminder
for all of the podcasts you host.
I try to channel Woodstock 99 in my comedy,
so it's just utter chaos.
You just throw plastic on the ground
while you do stand up.
Yeah, and I charge people
for human necessities.
Right.
I feel like that the energy
of being so overly kind of like meeting, meeting
your partner's parents and that it's like whatever they do is, is, is unbelievable.
It's like, oh, you know, Mr. Johnson, you, this, this oatmeal you made, I've, this is
like unbelievable.
Can I just say like, first of all, thank you so much for having us in your home for brunch.
Second of all, this oatmeal, like, can I get the recipe?
I mean, like, Chris, like you didn't tell me your dad made oatmeal like this.
Chris, wow.
This is just Quaker oats.
This is just, as you can see, just a standard Quaker tap water from the faucet.
Stop it.
No way.
It's just that.
I mean, I guess you could say it's my special recipe.
I make it every so often, but it's just tap water from the faucet.
How often?
Because it seems like you've perfected it.
I couldn't agree more.
Well, thank you, Peter, who's also sitting at the table right now.
I'm here as well.
I mean, maybe someone put brown sugar in the pot when I wasn't looking, but you guys are, you're, I like these friends,
Chris.
I like these friends a whole lot.
They can come over for breakfast anytime.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Um,
and guys,
you can,
you know,
I know that you guys are staying here.
You know,
you guys are my college friends.
You didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving break,
but you don't have to like,
you don't have to like,
yes,
man,
my dad,
like it's kind of like,
first of all,
I would never,
Chris,
your dad doesn't need any.
Yes.
He's literally, he is basically the physical embodiment of yes.
If you think he is the yes man.
Yeah, but that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I think he's I mean, your dad, you're great.
You're great in my eyes, but I think objectively you're fine.
Chris, Chris, just let your friends talk.
And in fact, friends, if you guys want to stick around past Thanksgiving, I know the next set of holidays are only 30 days away.
If you want to take classes at home, I'm sure that I could kind of provide more oatmeal.
Mr. Johnson, stop it.
Stop it.
My wife goes to Costco.
She gets the big jugs of oatmeal.
Chris is out of the house most of the day.
So if there's more mouths to feed with my very special blend of oat and faucet, I'm here to provide.
That would be great.
I have nowhere to be for Christmas or, frankly, all winter.
So I could hang around.
We could just take classes at home like we have in-person classes now.
We can try.
I think it's a very simple remedy here.
We can just take Chris's room, pull out the bed, pull out all of his personal paraphernalia, the posters that he loves, all of his personal items.
Don't call it paraphernalia.
I'm not smoking heroin in there.
No one's saying you're smoking heroin, son.
I'm just saying that we can turn your bedroom into an office.
Yeah, Chris, your dad literally didn't say that.
He didn't say, he didn't mention heroin.
He said paraphernalia.
It's just.
Your dad's actually like saying, he was being so kind.
He's like, we can turn this house into a home for you.
Your home away from home, away from your family.
And you're saying like your dad thinks you're smoking heroin. That's literally not what he said., we can turn this house into a home for you. You're home away from home when you're away from your family and you're saying like
your dad thinks you're smoking heroin.
That's literally not what he said.
Chris, can I ask you
to leave the room for a second?
This is crazy, but yeah.
Chris, go in the garage.
Yeah, go in the garage.
I'll step outside.
Chris, take a lap, please.
Chris, we're not going to,
I'm not going to speak
until I hear the garage door close.
All right, I'm leaving.
Close the garage door.
Hey, you two.
I just gotta say,
you are so much cooler
than my kids.
Oh, Mr. Johnson.
I have to say,
it's totally mutual.
You are so much cooler
than Chris.
I barely like Chris.
I barely like,
I hate Chris.
I hate Chris.
Okay, thank you.
I hate Chris too.
Oh my God,
If there's two things
I say to my wife
every morning
when we wake up, I roll over and I say, honey. I hate Chris too. Oh my God, you said it first. If there's two things I say to my wife every morning when we wake up,
I roll over and I say,
honey, I hate Chris
and I make the world's best oatmeal.
And you're right on both accounts.
And to hear it at my table
with two of his closest friends
or even medium friends,
I don't know where you stand in his social structure.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter anymore.
And here's why Chris is gone.
When Chris comes back,
I'm going to have a serious conversation with Chris it just feels
like even before Chris went to the garage all
those seconds ago I just felt like
as soon as I met you I was like oh I'm
destined to be closer with Chris's dad
and Chris like that was obvious almost from
the beginning Mr. Johnson like I
like I love you more than I love my own dad
like and I love you
oh my god I don't know your name
we haven't met your character's name yet but I love you
it doesn't even matter I don't have one
it doesn't matter
what?
I just got bored and it's kind of
like the longer it goes on the more hurt I kind of
felt
well then this might
not be what you want to hear
I know that you're in a hurt place right now
and you've been standing in the garage for-
I just feel alienated.
Like I took these friends home to do something nice.
Don't feel alienated.
Don't feel alienated.
Don't feel alienated, Chris.
He can't even talk.
Like, sorry, Mr. Johnson, but he can't even talk.
Chris, I think the solution to get you,
I think a solution for all of our issues right now,
whether it's the oatmeal issue,
whether it's your attitude, your heroin addiction,
or inability to say-
I don't do heroin.
I mean-ated. I think that what you need to do- You called the posters and art in my room paraphernalia. whether it's the oatmeal issue, whether it's your attitude, your heroin addiction, or inability to say, I don't do heroin.
I mean,
I think that what you need to do.
You called the posters and art in my room paraphernalia.
Head back to school.
You could take your mother's car as a treat.
You could take your mother's car,
the Taurus.
That's so generous.
That's really nice of you,
Mr. Johnson.
That's way more than he deserves.
Stay there through the holidays.
Your friends will stay at home.
We'll take down all of your paraphernalia.
Thoughts, buddy?
I hate driving the Taurus.
It's the worst sedan because it's so big.
Chris, be your mom's car.
Be grateful.
It's a fantastic, it's the best car I've ever seen.
Literally, this is a gift.
Listen to your nameless friend.
Listen to your nameless friend and take the Taurus.
This is Tyler and that is Renee.
All right.
His name is Peter.
Get out of here, Chris.
You're out.
Fine.
Fine.
This is, you know what?
You guys think it's all fun and games because it's only Tuesday night on the holiday break.
Easy to get along.
But on Thanksgiving, when he's forcing you guys to make a bunch of sides, because the
only thing he knows how to make is oats and water.
I love that.
No, absolutely no.
You guys aren't going to get along because I don't think you have even one thing in common other than, I guess, loving him.
And hating you.
And hating you.
That's two things.
Those are two really big things, Chris.
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
I don't need to overstep my bounds.
But when you were in the garage, Chris,
and again, Mr. Johnson, please,
I don't mean to speak ill of anyone.
Call me Tyler.
My name is Tyler.
He's just all over the place right now.
It's the heroines.
Sorry, Tyler.
I don't do heroin.
Chris, if there's any way I could puncture your heroin haze
so you could hear me for a second,
I just want to kind of pierce that heroin haze
and just say we talked about you
when you were standing in the garage all those seconds ago. I thought you did kind of pierce that heroin haze and just say, we talked about you when you were standing
in the garage
all those seconds ago.
I thought you did.
No, we were.
Don't raise your voice, Chris.
Sorry.
Peter's talking.
Yeah, please don't raise
your voice at Tyler.
Did you say don't use my voice
or don't raise my voice?
Well, both.
Don't do either.
If you have to ask.
Please let Peter talk.
Sorry, Peter finished.
Son, let Peter talk.
All I was saying
was that we discussed it
and we were saying how,
and we didn't say this
in the moment,
but I'm sort of extrapolating here.
Remember that television show?
Everybody hates Chris.
Do you remember that?
I love that show.
We decided that a lot of hijinks in the show,
but please be serious for a second because please try to focus because we
were talking about not about the show.
Everyone hates Chris,
but we were talking about how we all hate you,
Chris.
Everybody hates Chris.
Hates Chris.
Yeah.
Just so you don't feel out of the loop, what we were talking about in your childhood kitchen, but that is what we were talking about.
You don't need to respond, but that's just a fact.
Here's your option B, son.
You could take the Taurus, head back to college for 45 days, come back with an improved attitude, and maybe the three of us will open up the door what attitude did i have that's a big
the same attitude that you just responded to my sentence with the second the second option is
you try the oatmeal and you try and taste it and you try and taste it like you're two friends
that's that is option b try the oatmeal or go away for a month and a half.
Okay.
This is, I mean, all right.
Slides the bowl in front of Chris.
Thanks a lot.
Smells good.
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
I love how you narrate everything you do.
Like, can I just say that I think that is one of the coolest traits about you.
And I wish Chris could.
You can say that.
It's really just charming.
It's one of his least charming traits.
But yeah, here we go. Try the oatmeal, Chris.
One bite.
It's really good oatmeal, Dad.
Finally, some honesty.
What'd you put in this?
Faucet water and Quakers.
It's just faucet water and Quakers.
I'm writing that down, Mr. Johnson.
I can't be around this. I'm going back to school. Johnson. I'm writing that down. I can't be around
this. I'm going back to school.
Okay, have fun at the Taurus. Fill it with oatmeal.
Fill the Taurus with oatmeal? Why?
Absolutely why.
Fill the Taurus with oatmeal.
Fill the Taurus with oatmeal, Chris.
I don't think so. Because that has nothing to do with anything we've been talking about.
Just fill the Taurus with oatmeal.
Open your mind. It's not a small thing.
I don't do heroin.
Kick your heroin addiction.
Take your paraphernalia.
Hit the road and fill the Taurus with oatmeal.
Tyler, does Crystal have that Woodstock 99 poster hanging on his wall?
That Woodstock paraphernalia?
Yes, it's covered in plastic.
It's covered in pollution.
It's covered in plastic and pollution.
Heroin.
It's covered in glass because I got it framed.
This is unbelievable.
Fine, I'm gone.
I'm putting it in the Taurus.
This is fucked up, by the way.
This isn't cool.
Chris, Chris, not in the gas tank.
In the back seat.
Pour the oatmeal on the back seat.
What are you doing filling the gas tank with oatmeal?
I was just putting it in the gas tank.
I was just putting it in bowls in the back.
You want me to spill it out into the back seat?
Yes, your mother loves those bowls.
Your mothers, both of
your mothers loves those bowls.
This is insane. This is also,
you should be looking for a job.
Haven't you been laid off for like 30 days?
I'm going to open an oatmeal
restaurant. We discussed this.
What do you mean don't?
You just tried it. I'm gone. He drives off. What do you mean don't? You just tried it.
I'm gone. He drives off.
So do you two want to
work at my oatmeal restaurant? Because
I'm looking for staff. I would love it.
I actually have a name idea if you would be
open to hearing it, Tyler. I am all
ears and maybe it'll be our blackout line.
The Burlington Oat Factory.
End scene.
The Burlington Oat Factory. End scene. The Burlington Oat Factory.
The Burlington Oat Factory.
That's going to-
They don't even try to come up with a couple more names.
He's like, that'll work.
That works.
That's going to be the takeaway line on Discord next week.
So I'm looking forward to seeing the Burlington Oat Factory in all caps from someone.
That also might be merch.
Burlington Oat Factory.
Billy, Adam, 100 episodes.
Congratulations.
We'll end off on this.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Thank you guys so much.
You guys are just the best.
You're just the best.
Let's end on this.
What does review review mean to you?
No.
In 100 episodes.
Review review represents to me a really fun closing of the circle.
In so much as Adam and I met you when you both were starting on your first day.
You did not have a podcast.
You did not have a distinguished role quite yet in the company.
You were going to figure it out.
It's 100 episodes later.
You two both fully exist in the HeadGum universe.
You carry torches.
Both of your podcasts are spectacular.
And onward, dudes.
Good work.
Namaste.
And then Adam, top that.
Amen.
I would just say it's my favorite oatmeal-based podcast
on the HeadGum network.
And that's saying a lot.
You don't have to say that.
You don't have to say that.
No, I mean it.
I mean it, Riley.
I mean that.
This is Peter.
This is Peter again now. This is Peter. It's a hard one to shake that. You don't have to say that. I mean it, Riley. I mean that. This is Peter. This is Peter again now.
This is Peter.
It's a hard one to shake off.
Peter the pleaser.
I live in my characters for weeks on end.
It's a problem.
But you guys are the best.
You guys are wonderful mentions.
I'm so happy for your success.
Thank you for this fantastic podcast.
It means the world to me.
I hope you don't mind that I'm going to leave the Review Podcast in my
son. I hope that that's not a problem
for you guys, that I'm going to leave your podcast
in my will to my son.
We can talk about it later. We can talk about the legal ramifications
about that later.
We're just signing off. That's heavy.
No, I actually love that. Great. Let's finalize
it before you guys leave.
Let me use e-forms.
No,
but thank you guys so much for coming on.
That's so kind.
And it is a wild full circle moment.
Plug the no joke podcast.
We've said it a bunch,
but keep listening.
If you haven't,
give it a shot.
Why not?
Please.
New episodes every Friday.
Yeah.
Literally.
Why wouldn't you do it?
Right.
It's free.
Thank you guys so, so much again for coming.
And I'm just so pleased.
And Jeff's mad again now, but it was nice while it lasted, you know?
It's that heroin addiction.
It's that heroin addiction.
But we love you, Riley.
I don't do that.
We love you.
Congrats, guys.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Peace.
Bye, guys.
Bye. congrats guys thank you guys peace bye guys bye
alright
what a slog
what a what
a slog
what's a slog
it was just like
that was tough
is that a word
what's slog
yeah slog
you've never heard the word slog
work hard over period of time.
Oh, wait.
A spell of difficult, tiring work.
Wow, I just learned a new word live on air.
That was a slog.
That was a slog.
And if that was a slog, our next two guests are going to be even worse.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Wait, can we just not bring them on?
I feel like we should bring them on and just keep them on mute so that they feel like they're a part of it
it's just like
so we don't have to deal with the bullshit
at first when we were like we should bring them on
it sounded like a good idea but now it's just like
now this is going to be a slog
if I know a slog this is a slog
alright but let's just get it over with
let's humor them
let's humor them
they really need
this i guess i'll say that we can do so much for their careers by having them on the show right now
and we can do better is what i would say absolutely we can do better it's but it's like yeah hey guys
yeah we're here we're here sorry should i um record like should i record i started recording
i felt like i wanted to get on record that i didn't just get like the
tail end of that i feel like i got a good chunk of it yeah like a lot of meat on that for sure a
lot of meat on that bone but it falls off we were also waiting eight minutes eight minutes you were
waiting yeah yeah so because you said at 245 it's at 253 and you sort of let us in a zoom rating room
um for eight minutes you brought us in like
10 seconds too early and we heard just like how much of bad mouthing and you haven't let us know
if we should be recording it was vitriol well it was earned i mean you guys waited what eight
minutes we waited three years to get this show and that was three years too long so let's just
introduce i'm here start recording let's get this over with i guess we actually we asked you i already was sorry i just want to say we asked you repeatedly throughout
your internship uh to start a podcast we it got to the point where it was it was almost weird that
you didn't you we asked you to start a podcast you made a video series instead whatever let's
fucking we're here now it is three years too late but it's like we're here now we don three years too late no but it's like we're
here now we don't need
to be upset because it's
like you can't change
the past the only thing
you can do is like
affect the future
didn't you also record
an episode of a show
that wasn't good and
then i gave you the
idea of review review
no that one was gold
it's just it was like
we weren't getting
what was it we weren't
getting the productions
we weren't getting the
productions before we
needed and it's like we
didn't in the pilot what was it it was what weren't getting the productions. We weren't getting the productions before we needed it. And it's like, we didn't. In the pilot?
What was it?
It was, what was it?
Quickspiracies.
It was improvised conspiracy theories.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
I do want to take, I take offense with you thinking that you came up with review, review
Amir.
Cause really, it was actually, it was me.
Really?
So.
I've been telling everybody that Amir came up with it cause Amir pitched it to us.
Yeah.
Amir very much. He's like, here's the the idea that i had if you guys want to use it and that's how i remember it too so i'm curious so you told it to me and then didn't do anything and then i said that
i can't i mean i don't know at what point it changed from my idea to yours um yeah i know i
actually really like this idea of it being jake's. That's actually... It's easier to swallow in a way. If it can't be
our idea, I'm glad that it was at least
Jake's. 100%. If it's not
going to be an original, let's make it
Hurwitz.
You were going to say original.
If it can't be original, let's make it
a Hurwitz what?
If it's not an original IP, let's make
it a Hurwitz IP original.
Yeah, original. Original. Yeah, original.
Oh, shit.
Jake Hurwitz, welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Your first solo guest on Review Review.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
The fucking show that I thought of.
Yeah.
Pretty crazy.
Full circle.
I'm also here.
First solo guest.
It's so full circle
and so perfect that the person who came up with the idea, Jake,
is on the show.
And I think I speak for both Riley and I
that it's an honor.
It's absolutely an honor, but it's not only
the person who came up with the show, but it's
the only person who brought Jeff and I together and like made that happen a full circle
way like it's all at the end of the day it's all jake yeah wow not really i don't i mean i it's
tough because i don't disagree yeah so i i you know i'm usually demure from compliments i'm
usually like you deserve this shy away i will accept it and that's the thing
don't feel weird
about getting compliments
like just accept it
and feel that love
because it's all for you
and it's all
and then anything
otherwise would be
all for not
if that makes sense
so to introduce Amir
who's also here I guess
it does make sense
would be not
wait Blumenfeld
turn on your video
Amir turn on your video
I was
it is on
I was on the whole time
turn on your mic
oh you know what it is
his energy is so dark it was almost like it was a blackout screen like it wasn't Amir, turn on your video. I was on the whole time. Turn on your mic. Oh, you know what it is? His energy is so dark, it was almost like it was a blackout screen.
Like it wasn't.
Amir!
We're here.
Thank you for coming on.
This is crazy.
I'm sorry we didn't prep for this, but thanks for being here for F100.
Plan Jake guest and this kind of surprise drop-in who I guess tagged along because he
had nothing else to do.
I guess I shared, I must have shared my calendar with him.
What's that?
Plugs?
No.
It's early.
Whenever.
I feel like we'll fucking forget it on the day.
So let's get it now and then Jeff can weave it in organically afterwards.
So you admit this was inorganic the way you brought it up.
My Twitter is just Bloomin' Fell.
Your Twitter's in the shitter.
Because the last thing you tweeted was about Corn Elder.
And that's bullshit to read.
Corn Elder.
Yes, the Panthers signed a cornerback named Corn.
Last name Elder. Wow, that's good. yes the Panthers signed a cornerback named Corn last name
Elder
um
wow that's good
I guess
we'll wrap it up
with what we just
asked Billy and Adam
should we just get
into it Riley
what do we think
yes so um
we as it is
our hundredth episode
of Review Review
a podcast where we
talk about reviews
congratulations
thank you
um we thought
what better theme
than to review
reviews of our
respective shows so
we did a review of the review

and now Jeff has found a review
of if I were you

I feel like then it kind of prioritizes me and Riley.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Speaker review. Oh, no, because he just popped up. Now he's full screen, yeah. see I feel like then it kind of prioritizes me and Riley yeah yeah yeah speaker review
now he's full screen
you can pin a video
I'm gonna pin Jake
yeah
alright five stars
I prefer gallery mode
sorry
even when Jake's pinned because I hear the voice and it's grating
it's degrading it's voice and it's grating. It's grating.
It's degrading.
It's great.
Definitely.
Yeah.
It's just grating.
It's great and.
It's great and.
Five stars.
Most definitely a yes, dude.
This is the best podcast I've ever listened to, top to bottom, except one episode.
One episode was horrible. For forgot which one it was though
but out of almost 300 episodes one episode being bad is pretty good thanks yeah
that is pretty good 299 of 300 yeah to be great that's but that one if i could remember it was
like dog shit that one episode like you shouldn't have even released it.
It was so bad.
They're also similar.
Was it one of the ones that Jeffrey guessed it on?
You know what?
For the life of me, I cannot remember.
But it was, I mean, like it still haunts me.
Yeah.
There was one with just Jeff and Riley and Jake wasn't even on it.
Oh, yeah.
I wonder if it was that one.
Well, that one was gold because that was Rich Thick Chicken.
Rich Thick Chicken.
I remember that.
That was a classic.
Jake, did you ever listen to that episode?
No.
No, I did not.
Holy shit.
I mean, I never listened to the podcast.
Say it.
Yeah, there it is. I don't listen to the podcast. Say it. Yeah, there it is.
I don't listen to our show.
Right, because you're on it, but this episode you weren't on.
But I thought you'd be interested to see how it went.
Yeah, it's interesting.
I guess I wasn't on it because I was really busy at the time.
And then I must have missed it.
I'm really sorry.
I feel like that really fucking put a damper on Remember like a minute ago
We were all kind of
Chiding a mirror
I'm gonna pin a mirror actually
Yeah let's do that
Remember grading and degrading
It is but like
Yeah but the degrading thing was actually a funny pun
And then he said great and which was pretty funny
Yeah he was making us laugh
Yeah I thought of
an i was i was gonna say gray dan like uh dan was gray dan like dan was gray what the fuck does that
even mean dan i was just trying to yeah i was trying to like pile on i don't know what i really
even know i feel like this fucking killed the mood and the camaraderie between.
Yes.
I guess if anything, I'm happy that the three of you guys feel a little more.
It totally did.
Let's just get into the improv.
All right.
So it's like an artist at his gallery opening doing an interview with or doing a press conference.
Mr. Zan.
Mr. Zan. San Francisco Chronicle. conference. Mr. Zan? Mr. Zan?
San Francisco Chronicle.
Yeah.
You.
You can ask me a question.
I am Mr. Zan.
Proceed with caution.
With caution?
With caution?
Caution.
You just missed...
Fine.
We have to say
this is one of the most successful
gallery opens the mission
the gallery has ever had. The turnout's on the ground. I love you, Zan! we have to say this is one of the most successful gallery opens the mission galleries
ever had
I love you Zan
go Zan
thank you sorry about that I have
millions of Zans
no no no I call them Zans
cause they're fans
that guy actually stands Zan
thank you
Zan the man
yes a bunch of my Zans are fans of the zan
are actually stands seems unrelated to the gallery a hundred percent i'm not gonna show
sorry one second i'm just i need to address this i'm not gonna be showing my ass at this press
conference everybody reacts oh whole or nothing z that, like, part of your art?
Because I'm new to your art, and I don't...
All moon people, here we go, ready?
He's doing it!
Yeah!
All right, now we can focus on the question at Zan.
That's a hand, but Zan.
No, just hand.
Listen, this is my first time seeing your art.
I walked through all the gallery, and I have to say, I liked every piece.
It was unbelievable, every piece.
Is that for one?
Not a question, but carry on.
The question is, can you speak to that?
No.
I can't speak to your experience of my art.
All right.
Yeah.
Mr. Zan?
Mr. Zan?
Got a question over there.
Tracy Els from the LA Times.
I mean, you've done it again.
You've done it again.
But I would like to comment on the journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle, your question.
Kidding me.
No, no, no.
I couldn't agree more.
I thought this opening was a triumph.
Thank you.
And clearly all of your Zans think so too
show us your ass again
Zans how are they not satisfied
by the first time sorry
one second I just have to address this
because they won't shut up about it
I'll only be showing my ass
once and I already did it thank you
okay and can I get that
and that will go to print it just seems like
their appetite is for my ass is insatiable.
Yes, if I showed it again,
I bet they would be equally upset and angry
that I didn't show it a third time.
Well, Ms. Suzanne, I would just...
All right, you know what?
Just for the sake of keeping that guy quiet,
I'm literally just going to show my ass
throughout the entire press conference.
So I'm going to face away from you guys.
Moon him this fucking Zan stand
and try to answer as many questions as possible.
The rest of your Zans have left.
This is the one Zan stand left in.
Here we go.
You're the man, Zan.
All right.
Not really.
Thank you.
All right.
Guys, just ask the question at this point.
My ass is out and I'm on bended ass. All right. I will a ask the question at this point. My ass is out, and I'm on bended ass.
All right.
I will avert my eyes to protect your modesty, Mr. Zan.
I just have to ask, why did you keep this piece in the show?
The one that sucks other than the other ones.
Well, I was going to say the one that is not as successful,
but yes, frankly, the one that sucks ass.
I mean, odds are you guys aren't even talking about the same one we look at each other on the three at the same time
let's three two one and then we'll say which one it is three two one it's the one in the corner
of the guy who's blue and also sad and getting blown yes. Yes. Yep. Mr. Zan, question.
My name is Connor Zan.
I'm your number one fan.
The Zan Stan.
Yeah, you're the one who's just staring at my asshole.
Yep.
What do you want?
My favorite piece is the blue one in the corner.
See, there you go.
Like, we can't literally please them all.
Like, I have to take my fucking pants off to have this guy be happy.
How much for the blue piece in the corner?
It's not for sale,
but thank you so much for appreciating.
And you can see that sort of answers my question,
which is like,
you know,
I can't tailor make the entire gallery so that everybody loves everything at
the same time.
Well,
it does seem like you are keeping this piece just for this one Zan stand
alone.
Almost as if he commissioned the piece.
He helped because he paid me a lot of money
in terms of taking my pants off while I created it.
And now that it's done, it is his favorite piece.
And it's a really nice piece.
And I appreciate him actually funding the piece.
Pull your pants up, Zan.
Why don't you pull your pants up?
Why do you want them up now?
You were yelling at him to moon you, and now...
What I care for is the reveal.
It is the worst piece.
What I care for is the reveal.
This is supposed to be a closed press conference
to only people with accreditations.
I have an accreditation.
I run the Zan fan zine.
This is a sub stack.
You have a zine?
Anybody can have a zine, yeah.
It's a medium.com blog post slash sub stack i'm looking at your fucking necklace it's a subs anybody can have a zine yeah it's a medium.com blog post slash sub stack patreon and but i'm the only member because he sort of pays
me to get naked and draw art so he's a so you're you're uh you're a patron of the arts
but you just want to see his ass is this a question for me it was but i regret asking both
of you now am i being interviewed by journalists holy shit move aside that legitimizes you too and
he's on the stage this is fucking crazy no this is interesting i would like to ask him a few
questions now um sir i'm so sorry i've your name. You're just such a big personality.
Connor Dan, he said.
Connor Dan.
Connor Dan, the Zan Stan fan, of course.
Connor Dan, how did you get, thank you.
How did you get, how were you introduced to Mr. Zan?
What was the first time you saw his work?
You don't have to answer that, by the way.
You don't like, they ask questions.
You can always say it's none of your business.
Connor freezes up and is afraid to
speak don't see he's probably fine just it's the simplest club let me ask you
one quick Connor mr. Dan easy just relax your. It has almost nothing to do with the art,
actually. I'm just kind of wondering how
old you are, because you could be 50 or 9,
because you have either adult
braces or appropriately aged braces.
Either way, they're clear and stained by
Coca-Cola. I have braces
that I got when I was 9, and I
am 59, so they were child braces
that have... You've had braces for 50 years.
My orthodontist died when I was 11, and I get a new one.
By the way, I had nothing to do with that.
Yeah.
Obviously.
Obviously.
The question was not posed to you, Mr. Zan, but thank you for your commentary.
Yep.
Now I have a question for you, Mr. Zan.
Yes.
Nope, that's Mr. Dan.
That's Mr. Dan.
Sorry.
I misheard
he falls off the stage there you go he fell off his chair with such force as if he'd been pushed
and he had not touch him do not touch him do not even address him i think one more question
one more question and then we'll get the fuck out of here please don't swear but yeah continue
uh mr zan i i have a question for you.
I'm pulling my pants up, by the way.
This is absurd.
Thank you.
I'm no longer like, I don't know.
I'm not under this guy's thumb.
You said you liked the reveal.
You said that you liked the reveal,
and you were the one who told him to put his pants up.
You're upset now that he has his pants on.
I'm concussed.
Okay.
Mr. Zan, what's next for you?
Later today, I will be exposing myself to Connor Dan
while I paint a sculpture that he commissioned
for his zine slash medium post and his Patreon.
After that, I'll be getting ramen with my wife.
Who used to be married to my orthodontist, by the way.
Is that true?
So that's how you met each other.
Unrelated.
So that's how you know each other.
Absolutely unrelated.
No, but you get to see how crazy it is that that's unrelated.
It either is or you're being shy about it.
My real name, if you have to know, and I changed it.
Yeah. It's Stuart Sink, which is the name of a golfer who was popular when I was coming of age,
so I changed it to Zan.
X, Y, and X.
The last X is silent.
None of this even matters because this whole fucking press conference is bunk slash unnecessary.
You like the stuff.
You like the art.
Except for the one.
Enjoy it. Yes, except for the one. Except for the one. Except for the blue. Blue, the guy in the corner. Except like the stuff. You like the art. Enjoy it.
Except for the one.
Except for the one. Except for the blue.
Except for the one. Also, you can't smoke in here.
You absolutely can't smoke in here.
You're lighting up a Marlboro Red.
That's been the case that you can't smoke in buildings
for decades.
So don't be surprised or like you should know.
I thought this was private property.
But yeah, I guess I understood.
Yeah, it's private property.
Yeah.
Thank you to Stewart's Sink.
No, do not call me that.
Well, that was a wash.
That was a fucking slag.
I thought it was fine.
I thought it was funny.
No, the ass shit was funny.
That was all of it.
We went blue.
The press conference was good.
That scene was good that scene was good
that was the whole scene so you liked it
well the one part about the press conference
will do

Review Review will always be a massive part of the story of HeadGum.
That being said.

Thing to say
That you asked for a juice

If I'm even still around.
What?
Well, like anything can happen, you know, so like I don't want to talk about death on the 100th episode. But basically, like I could. If it'll still be a slog. If I'm even still around. What? Well, like, anything can happen, you know?
So, like, I don't want to talk about death on the 100th episode, but basically, like, I could...
Got it.
