Starting point is 00:03:54 to watch the arms. If the trash truck is wiling? It's like a dinosaur. It flips it up and throws it down. It's flinging cans hither and thither. They end up horizontal on the street. It is crazy how strong they are. It's so accurate, too.
Starting point is 00:04:11 It's like Godzilla discarding large, unmovable objects. I have such an appreciation for how accurate these guys are with the arm. God, it's loud. I wonder if they have a screen that lines it up. Because when I'm pumping gas, I'm never that lined up. And they have to screen that like lines it up because like when i'm pumping gas i like i'm never that lined up right and they have to be no they just knocked one over really yeah and they just move on if that happens they just move on this is so interesting they got too much to do they have too many cans to slam that's true um i mean what's new with you

You can answer either or both. I've been having a shower situation where the water pressure doesn't stay stable throughout. Fortunately, a handyman was able to come and fix it this morning. But I haven't gotten to enjoy the new shower yet because I hopped on this podcast. So I'm looking forward to. I haven't showered enjoy the new shower yet because I hopped on this podcast.

Starting point is 00:05:19 So three weeks and your shower only started acting up like five days ago. Yeah. and your shower only started acting up like five days ago? Yeah, but I could feel something was amiss for 17 days on the days. And I said, enough is enough. You felt like something's going to happen. Something's coming. Just flies buzzing around my ear. Your big pen.

Starting point is 00:05:51 Meaning there's per capita, the air is heavier in a room. And yeah, on a Zoom. Do you call the living room a den or are you normal? I'm normal. Or are you abnormal? I'm pretty sure having a den is just when you have two living rooms and you need to call the second one something else yeah sitting room yeah shut up for a second i actually really want to want to you invited me here to talk and voice my opinions don't tell me to be quiet to beat the entire purpose of guesting on a fully audio based. I call my living room the parlor.
Starting point is 00:06:27 You don't. And I'm not going to apologize for it. I'm not going to parlor-gize for it. Nice. You hold weekly salons and discuss topics of the day with culturally important people. And of your. In our old place, Daniel called our living room the den and elizabeth and i really
Starting point is 00:06:49 tried to put a stop to that we'd be like we can all go sit in the living room and watch tv and he's like oh yeah i'm playing switch in the den and i'm like i don't know whose house you're in for me i think of den and i think of like it's red and you've got animals mounted on the walls. That's really cool, though. It's not. But, Jeffrey, what's new with you in your den? In my parlor, nothing's changed. My life's the same.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Playing games. Parlor games you know objects of my affection uh i'll sort of play mind games uh not be clear with my intentions you know uh i was uh sort of trying to facilitate an accidental menage where how's that well like three of us show up at a place and we're all like, oh, this is crazy. We all kind of know each other. Maybe something happens. Maybe something fappens. And ultimately, I'm naked and afraid without any, you know, without any companionship.
Starting point is 00:08:01 What about you? I got my hair recolored recently. And so that always makes me feel really good. I got it. I got it cut and colored. Yeah. And we should say for the audio listeners, this is it's very short. It's not.
Starting point is 00:08:18 It's I mean, it's just it's because it because it's a fresh cut and because I have wavy hair when it's cut. It's awkwardly short. No, stop. What also is new is that Daniel Rashid is gone for a month on a job. So you're living alone alone. So you left your house

Starting point is 00:08:54 is like I'll just have a gimlet and watch two episodes of Barry and like that's a crazy night. Do you find yourself deviating from your normal patterns because somebody's not? I find myself getting out of bed faster. I find myself waking up earlier. Because you're not sucking and fucking before 9 a.m.
Starting point is 00:09:10 No, it's not because I'm sucking and fucking. Everything I say is normal. Your guys' reaction to my shit is not. It's because it's not like cozy. You're like, oh, it's just like five minutes in bed. It's like, okay, well, it's just me in in this cold empty bed and that pillow hasn't been touched and i'm so used to sleeping with him next to me that i actually wake up and find that the other side of the bed hasn't been touched at all like the covers are just like fully as if i made them that morning what about going to sleep going to sleep before i started
Starting point is 00:09:41 dating again so i like falling asleep like two sounds Like I love having like a TV show or a movie playing or a podcast and I fall asleep to it. But then like being with Daniel for years, it's like I actually got used to just sleeping with nothing. So I but weirdly enough, when he's gone, I find that I want to listen to stuff again. I haven't, but it's I don't understand it. But guys, we're not here to talk about my sleeping habits when my boyfriend of four and a half years is gone for a month, right?

Because you haven't showered in three weeks, and somehow it's traveling electronically. That's cool. I have a scrub daddy for pans and pots and we have a dishwasher now, so I don't need to use it for anything else. But, you know, seeing that smile, it sort of puts one on my face, you know, while I sort of get the grime and eggs off the pan.

The title is My boyfriend seems to love it still though though that's the title he ain't even stretched though uh i watched the shark tank video of this before i bought it he scrubs off some stove grime with ease with just warm water i put some elbow grease into it and scrubbed first with just warm water to see if it was really magic.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Then with hot soapy water, it didn't take off the grime. So disappointing. My boyfriend seems to love it still though, so he can use them. How many stars is this? Two. Got it. though so he can use them how many stars is this two got it so to her it didn't work but she's happy that her boyfriend's happy her boyfriend can't get enough of this shit and it doesn't really do the trick right um yeah i mean honey thank you so much uh this birthday dinner that you threw was amazing i mean like my god so my God, so thoughtful. I can't help
Starting point is 00:18:05 but notice that a lot of the presents you gave me are stuff that you've been talking about wanting. You know, I feel like I've been pretty clear with you about like, you know, there's a really cute iPhone case that I've been looking at or like, oh, like, or do you got a pair of shoes? But it's just kind of a lot of variations of tools and toolboxes and household things that I don't use. Sponge. Sorry? You like sponge. Yeah. yeah um i hate i just don't want to be rude because it's like you know i i love you and it's so thoughtful to even get me any of these things but um you did say like if you don't want
Starting point is 00:18:53 it you can you can exchange it and i don't want this and so i would like to exchange it for something that i would use every day fifty thousand dollar um Cut to her hanging out with her friends. Is he like hung or why are you dating this idiot? He is. No, here's the thing. The sex is mind-blowing. Really? Oh no, it's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:19:19 And I don't know what happened. He used to talk. Just like normally. Was it like a slow degrade or like well i wish it's like i wish i had seen it coming right it's switch flipped it's like he we went to a dinner party at our friend's place he used this like really nice sponge i guess and then we got home and suddenly it just all turned into like me wants fun and i don't know how to bring it up. Well, why don't you get him the sponge?
Starting point is 00:19:46 It feels like he wants the sponge. No, he got it for me. And I don't want the sponge. And he's still talking like a caveman. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying is like, I feel like I think I just like I need someone else other than me because it's like I feel like he won't change around me. So maybe could you just like come over and I don't just go over for dinner.

Starting point is 00:27:57 all in yeah exactly like just lighten up the sponges will sell themselves they're fucking the scrub daddy like sorry i do what's that darren what is your job what do you do i'm in this vlogging collective called vlogging molly and we just sort of go live um 24 7 okay um oh this here's a question um when was the last time y'all got head that's funny this actually feels really inappropriate because i'm on a job i'm here to upload i mean i'm not even a uh let's take a break from the stream uh we'll let them get back cut to an hour later the EP is on set alright so Alex obviously you know what this is about your buddy
Starting point is 00:28:54 Darren was making extremely inappropriate comments to one of the actors that you hired I love that game no we're not gonna this is the problem he asked her if she was here on a blow job and now he's asking everybody to slap each other's asses he's asking everybody if they're on blow jobs right so it sort of cancels out but it doesn't it's bad to ask anyone that at a way
Starting point is 00:29:18 guys um still streaming just wanted to let you guys know that we're getting some really solid questions coming in and i overheard you also signed an nda to be here so the fact that he's streaming this entire location he's streaming i saw on his stream he was dreaming the copy this is crazy i got 10 000 people in here and they're all saying they're all clamoring that they're gonna buy scrub daddies this is awesome this is like like a sick ass piece of viral marketing. Like they said, it's selling out in every city because of this live stream. I feel like I'm making a huge difference,
Starting point is 00:29:52 but damn, it feels good to be a part of something. I don't know. Maybe I should go into brand marketing or something. I feel like I could actually lend my thoughts and philosophies towards a greater good i mean if we can advertise this much for a sponge what's to say that we can sort of sometimes he gets in this mode where he can't stop streaming like stop what if i were to get paid to tell everyone to go vote holy shit right like suddenly i feel like i'm making a difference in the world and you are okay so then what if what commercials so i'm i'm like furiously writing emails okay so
Starting point is 00:30:31 what what what if what would you do if we were going to pay you let's say ten thousand dollars a stream to tell people to register to vote what would that would you do it sorry alex you're fired for sure what um you have to leave set but darren this is big i'm actually i'm checking the numbers right now for this job they're selling out everywhere i've been taking a look at the contract and it says that unless you actually complete a full day of shooting we don't technically owe you anything we that's right me and the executive producer have been teaming up to turn sets commercial shoots really you set up everything with pre-production and i pretend to be a vlogger trying to change the narrative because he's
Starting point is 00:31:13 speaking as if it's been happening i think that's what he wants to have happen and i'm not not on board he's a piece of shit but he is moving numbers unlike anything I've ever seen there's and now there's 50,000 people watching this fucking chaotic cabal that we're having I mean it doesn't make sense but everyone's talking about it they they're calling me like an agent of chaos but everybody wants to tune in to see what I'll do next
Starting point is 00:31:38 cut to him rocking the vote guys we did it we swung every swing state towards ron desantis our new president thank you guys so much for helping us checking in that live stream watching it out getting the vote out and yes we did rock the vote together me and ron i'm the vice president me and ron i promise we're gonna make a difference in this world thank you so so much to Alex for giving me my first opportunity. I remember this guy, this is before he killed himself, was directing a sponge commercial of all things. God, it feels like yesterday. And I don't know who Alex is, but I'm really ready for this new blow job. Am I right, Darren? Of being the next,
Starting point is 00:32:27 the 47th president of the United States. Oh, Rond, you're a real one for that. Yeah, we Rond the vote. So that's sort of a political commentary about how susceptible most youths are and how we really have to start the outreach now in regards to the 2026 election. And you want to do that as a crossover with our brand, Scrub Daddy. Exactly. So what I imagine is that entire thing playing out over the course of the next four years to turn sales around for not only Scrub Daddy but your candidate.
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's not a And you're imagining all of that happening is that a short film or is that an action that you want to have played out? It's all, this is all one 30 second spot that would play natively on TikTok when you log into the app. Every time you log in?
Starting point is 00:33:28 For the next four years. Listen, we read a lot of scripts and anytime there's like a typo even, I'm like, this person's not a good writer. The content could be great. I'm like, I just won't stand for it. It's kind of a hardened festival that we have. You're trying to overthrow some kind of sell sponges in the process i feel like those two let them talk sorry let them talk you're
Starting point is 00:33:52 trying to make some kind of political commentary and you don't even know when the presidential elections fall so 26 28 when is it 24 28 all right no every yeah every other it's like every other olympics or something no it's every four years since when uh get out of our office yep yeah uh and that's not all we will not validate parking. That's insane. But we will validate this, I guess, court warrant. I have a friend in the DA's office. We'll find some way for you to be arrested. At least we'll send out a cease and desist. Yeah, because I don't like you.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I'm going to take this script over to the Magic Eraser people, and they will buy it in the room so quickly you'll be out of business by the 2025 election. Cut to every American household using magic erasers on pots and pans. That's not going to work. Should we do another review? Yes. I got one short one. It was actually an answer to a question on the web.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Somebody asked about Scrub Daddy. And somebody answered. Question. Does this actually get hard when cold? Answer. Yes, it returns to its original state when completely dry. This is from a user, J-Lo. I love these.

Starting point is 00:37:12 I feel like you never talk to grandpa one second I feel like you never talk to him he's my dad you always put the phone to me yes exactly right he loves hearing your voice. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I'm back, Grandpa. Sorry, I dropped the phone. Have I ever told you about my favorite pastime? Are you going to talk about bowling again? Your bowling team? No. Reading about oil magnates' dowries. What? Just pretend you know what he's saying let him talk
Starting point is 00:37:50 you don't even have to listen when I was a kid there weren't celebrities there were oil and steel magnates and the coolest thing they could have was a dowry just say thank you now it's all about
Starting point is 00:38:05 Kardashian this. Right? Paris Hiltant's aunt. But no. I thought it'd be cool to send you something on Valentine's and I'm starting to think you don't even like the gift, Leanne. I haven't even opened it because you
Starting point is 00:38:21 started talking about oil tycoons. Dad! Like this is so unfair. Okay, fine. I'll open it. Okay. Thanks, Grandpa. And you'll love it. Thanks for the what?
Starting point is 00:38:37 I don't know why he was talking about oil tycoons. And then a lead into this because it's a sponge. Grandpa sent me a sponge not just any sponge right it's an it's a magic eraser or what is it it's a it's a scrub daddy but it's not even in the packaging he just sent me a loose scrub daddy in a in like a fedex box I'd like to think of it as a scrub granddaddy. Leigh-Anne! What? Grandpa, you keep saying my name! You didn't say your lover's name.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I don't have a lover! I haven't even had a kiss! I'm ten years old! I can give advice! What are your quarrels? Ask Dad! Dad hasn't seen Mom for the better part of two months. Oh, thank God. Your mother is the worst. Hey, Dad.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Hey. Thanks for the sponge. Sorry about Leanne. She doesn't know what she's talking about. My wife, your daughter, is still with me. You said that you came out of his dick. Stop punching the pillow. I'm right here.
Starting point is 00:39:58 I know you're angry. Peter, are you on the hooch again? I'm not drunk, if that's what you're asking. That's not what I was asking. I am on that drug named Hooch. Yes. I'm gonna go back to playing Mario Kart. That's fair. Put your son back on
Starting point is 00:40:14 the phone. I'm a girl. Leanne. What? How do you pass the time? Told you a little bit about how I like to read. I like playing video games. What's that? He's never heard of video games.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Explain it to him like he's five. I like playing. It's like, so I can't. Like, how do you explain it? No, wait, I can hear you. Sorry. I was going to say you're breaking up. It's like a game that's on the TV, but it's virtual.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So it's a racing game, but with a bunch of creatures. And you try and stop other people's cars. It's like you throw a banana or a bomb or something. Oh, I know racing games. You know, when. You do? Yeah, when Jefferson Steel and Loyal Oil race to the finish line. Greatest Profits of 1939, Q4.
Starting point is 00:41:14 I have to go talk to him. I think he's having another episode. He's remembering, I guess, something that happened to him when he was 15 or something like that. Can I be off the call now to say thank you for the sponge or whatever? Yeah. Say thank you for the sponge. I'm going to head over there. Thank you for the sponge, Grandpa.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Leanne, I don't think you like the sponge. Yes or no, do you like the sponge? No, I don't like the sponge. Well, the joke's on you because there was $1,000 hidden inside the sponge. And the fact that you don't like it, you're going to send it back to your old grandpappy, aren't you? I love magnets, so I made
Starting point is 00:41:53 a fortune and I hid it in a sponge. Your cousin Lise, she liked the sponge. It's just a phone and his voice. There's no one else in the room. I'm looking through the sponge. There's a phone and his voice there's no one else in the room i'm looking through the sponge there's nothing in here dad really you shot you i thought you even think well i sent one sponge to leanne and i spent one sponge to charity and i'm a little bit a little bit regretting that
Starting point is 00:42:22 decision because if there's one thing I know about dowries, it's about hoarding it for yourself and not giving it away. My nursing home nurse has been abusing me for a year. That's okay. We're hanging up. Didn't hear that last part. Bye, Dad. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Happy Valentine's Day. Leanne. Leanne. Leanne is older than the grandpa alright should we do our last segment yes if we only long
Starting point is 00:42:56 here what's been shaking you what's been on your mind what have you been struggling with let's really get into it honestly it was the shower thing but now that that's been fixed hopefully i'm going to be able to not only take a shower that doesn't alternate vacillate between hot and cold pressure nah but he was able to remove part of the shower head that restricts water flow i guess every shower head has a built-in thing that says,
Starting point is 00:43:26 don't give maximum pressure. He was able to remove that. So my shower went from negative two to 10 real quick. You turn it on, it blows you into the drain. It shrinks me. Of course. The equivalent of a power washer into my eye. That's very exciting.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Scalding hot. Be careful what you wish for. So, sorry, you're excited about water pressure? Water pressure, water heat. That's the most exciting thing in your life right now? Yeah, by far. Today? By fart.
Starting point is 00:44:07 In this minute? Yeah. Bidet. Bidet? That is very exciting. So you're going to take a shower after the pod? Not even close. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:17 So what are you going to do? I'm going to build it up, go camping, come back. Oh. Go to the gym. Wait until I'm caked in this shit. Ew. Sun in the yard. Sweat.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Dirt. Grime. Blood. Lime juice. Calcified skin scales. I'm going to scald myself like milk. Tear the film off my skin and see what happens in the shower. Leanne.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Leanne. Jeff, what's been shaking you? I got this new white tee. Nice. That's the tee. That's the tee. No, it's hard to find a good white t-shirt. And I sort of cracked it with this Everybody World trash recycled white tee.
Starting point is 00:45:05 And tucks in just so. And are you happy? Nope. Okay. What about you? Am I happy or what's been shaking me? Start with happiness. Obviously happiness.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I mean, what is happiness, right? Oh, that's a warm gun. Nice waiting thing. You have a lot of ketchup on your white shirt, by the way. I don't Oh, that's a warm gun. Nice. Wait, thank you. I have a lot of on your white shirt, by the way. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:28 For breakfast. I am. I am. I am happy. I am. What's shaking me is not only am I happy, I'm brave. So I don't like scary things. I don't like horror movies like especially horror movies i i get
Starting point is 00:45:46 scared very easily i'm i'm a little coward little weenie and um but oh god wow that was really fucked up no it's not okay i'm yeah um so i elizabeth and i are going to see pearl tonight which is the new mia goth flick and i under any other circumstances i would not be going to say because even the trailer for that freaked me the fuck out and it just looks so disturbing and so scary but i've heard nothing but insane things about her performance and just like hearing that she is phenomenal um and so i'm really you should see barbarian i've also heard that that's very good it's good and it's like scary but in a fun way and it's funny uh so i guess change your plans based on okay well i mean
Starting point is 00:46:38 we're seeing pearl at seven tonight so that's already the plan i guess i'm gonna well you don't have to um but so i'm i'm gonna be a brave little toaster but i do feel so whenever something scary is on what i find is like i do want to be included um so what will ultimately happen is i'll probably just close my eyes for a lot of the film um even though the whole point of me going is to see me at gus performance as pearl it's also interesting because you're completely alone tonight so if you get scared there's and you know what i have thought about that you in an empty cavernous home that's not cavernous it's like our furniture's in there there's some boxes that need to be unpacked still.
Starting point is 00:47:28 But like, so, yeah, I'm going to be a brave. I'm going to be a brave lass tonight. So you're going to keep your eyes open? That remains to be seen. For me, the bravery is showing up at all. For me, the bravery is using my AMCA lister status to get a ticket to the girl. The bravery is sitting. The bravery is going into the theater tonight. The bravery was booking a ticket.
