Get the Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good?
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
And participating restaurants for a limited time.
This is a HeadGum Original. Well, things are shaping up to be pretty chine
We all know that Riley's divine
But it feels there's something in the way
Jeff is, well, Jeff is a cunt
I'm sorry
I don't mean to be blunt
He's just a source of such dismay
And everybody thinks so, everybody thinks so
Jeff, you just stink, it's a shame
Amir and Jake hate him Marty berates him
Riley, you're the only one to blame
Riley, fire Jeffrey
If that's okay
The show would feel the same
Just send him on his way
And I say riley fire jeffrey if that's okay
this is my favorite song it's just called you a cunt within seconds he calls me the c word word that came in from andrew uh he says andrew pile yeah he says i hope this theme changes hearts
and well minds oh i mean listen i would have been down to fire jeff but then you said it was solely
up to me that he was so bad that it's like because i'm the one who tolerates it that it's like well you're to blame for his perpetuates reign of terror yeah um but it was fantastic but
what was even more fantastic is watching the face of our special guest what's happening
oh let's you know let's roll back the compliments right because he's pretty normal all I said was watching his face was funny
yeah normal
I'm
not normal
don't say it I'm built
different normal as in
AB normal my initials
as in a mere Bloomenfeld
normal
is this your third time on the show
because you we did karaoke and then we did
Airport Lounge with you and Jake. Oh yeah.
So this is my third time, second solo.
But it's been over two years.
Yeah, I think it's first time
since the pandemic.
And you won a pandemic
I think. Or at least you were for
their consideration. Yeah, I have a pandigod.
So a pandemic, a Grammy,
an Oliver Twist award for comments and a yahoo answers
questions message board and a tony that you just won a tony you were in a plane you won
you did win a tony i always thought the oliver twist award was for asking for seconds that's
good i don't get the reference, but I bet it makes sense.
Please, sir, may I have some more?
Got it.
Amir, we're so happy to have you here.
For those of you listening who don't
know who Amir is, you don't exist because
you literally wouldn't be listening to this show if you
didn't know who Amir was.
I don't know.
What's new?
I have to stop recording on Friday mornings
because it's trash day and
the trash truck is just
wiling right now. It's insane
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.
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
no jeff i mean when was the last time youir, when was the last time you slammed cans?
When was the last time you slammed cans?
Or what's new with you and how are 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. So I'm looking forward to,
I haven't showered in probably three weeks in anticipation.
Well,
I'm so sorry to hear you.
Yeah.
Hear that?
No.
I'm sorry to hear your voice.
And so sorry.
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.
Garbage truck tries to pick you up.
Come too heavy somehow.
Oh, you're so dense.
How are you thin and heavy? You know, some people have like a den. Oh, you're so dense. How are you thin and heavy?
You know, some people have like a den.
Yeah.
I have a dense.
Meaning?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
of three to become a house of two
and then he's like, alright, I'm out for a month.
And now it's just me.
It's crazy.
It's just like parties nonstop.
I guess it's crazy in the way that it's like
what my nightly routine looks like
if I'm just having a night alone
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.
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
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?
We're not here to talk about the lonely nights and the lonely days.
Why are you laughing?
How long has it been?
He left Tuesday.
It's a Friday.
Yeah, so it's been three days and you're having a mental breakdown.
He'll be back at the end of October, early November.
We're here to talk about Scrub Daddy.
We're not here to talk about your daddy.
We're here to talk about Scrub Daddy.
That's really good.
Yeah.
I was so excited.
I fucking love Scrub Daddy.
I love Scrub Daddy.
Scrub Daddy is,
it cleans things amazingly
They have such a wide range of products
I love Scrub Mommy
If I'm cleaning the shower
Cleaning the bathroom
What's the difference?
Or cleaning steel things
So Scrub Daddy is just the scrub side
So it's just kind of the coarser side
Scrub Mommy has like soft sponge on one side
And the coarse Scrub Daddy texture on the other side.
Who is scrub daddy and what does he do?
Scrub daddy also.
Fuck you guys.
They have seasonal scrub daddies.
They have Halloween scrub daddy.
So it's like right now there are packs coming out.
That's like you can get a three pack of like a pumpkin, Frankenstein and ghost.
Then they have like holiday ones.
You can get like a polar bear of snowflake.
Yeah, I'm here.
Let's back it up a little bit.
You're using Scrub Daddy like it's a universal situation where I sort of just recently learned about the father of Scrub.
I'm sure there are some people listening.
They're like,
what in the world are you even talking about?
So can you explain what is crazy to me?
It's like,
it's almost not even worth it.
Why?
No,
it's like almost not even worth explaining.
Cause it's like,
if you don't know what scrub daddy is,
then you have to go fuck yourself.
We should know.
Scrub daddy is, I i mean it's a sponge
ultimately it is right so what makes it the daddy of scrubs and scrub daddy jeff do you do you want
to talk do you want to share about scrub i feel like i'm just getting really heated it has i feel
like you might need to take it looks like you haven't slept in days like you know you said he left on tuesday and it's friday but you're exhausted and
talking a mile a minute what's in the cup picture a sponge so happy it doesn't get stinky
so there's a smiley face cut out of this sponge right that's one of the things you can put cutlery in the mouth spoons coming out of your mouth what it's easier it's like you you put cutlery in the scrub daddy
mouth basically it's like scrub daddy it's like a smiley face it's it's like a sponge that's
shaped like a smiley face and has like the eyes or have holes in it and the mouth does as well um under cold water it stays really
hard the sponge um and then warm water it makes it super soft so you can get into a bunch of nooks
and crannies and it fully like squeezes down agreed um and it smells good for a lot longer
yeah than another sponge you can also like shove your fingies in like the eye holes yeah yes yeah
do you guys use it to clean dishes or
you sort of save it for more
specific jobs than that
I save it for like special occasions yeah
Jeff fucks the eyes
it's obvious now that you sort of made a
makeshift flash
flashlight with a scrub daddy
on a cup
what were you saying
about how when it's warm it gets soft
yeah
Jesus man
Amir have you ever used a scrub daddy
you know
I don't know if I have I have
we had some like
markings on a wall and I remember
Avital
you measuring your height yeah from
2017 on so it didn't change at all but there was like a magic eraser you know those things like
are those similar to scrub daddy it's all like specialty sponges and i don't really know what
makes them specialty or if it's just a marketing thing i've never used a magic eraser which is like a sponge that disintegrates almost
as you use it but it did actually it did actually help get like scuffs off paint without actually
destroying the paint so well i mean like obviously i can't speak to scrub daddy and like how it would
you know affect paint on walls but i can't and you can't be expected to and like don't let him pressure you no because i mean it's just like when i think of scrub daddy i
think of like doing dishes i think of scrub mommy i think of like cleaning the sink cleaning the
bathroom cleaning the shower um so it's just like i don't know i don't know why you bring magic
eraser into this one it's like we're talking about scrub daddy and so it's just like this
whole world of the point yes but not really beside the point or beside the point in that it's like literally
besides the point like kind of close to the point we're not talking about magic racers
you talking about you reuse the scrub daddy yeah we have a scrub daddy uh i use it for patent
i don't believe you not you jeffir, I don't think you give a fuck.
Nice.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
But it's no magic eraser, fucker.
Sorry, Jeff, so you have a scrub daddy.
I've never felt this before, but I feel like I can smell Amir's ass through the zoom.
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.
Grime and eggs. Have pan. Grime and eggs.
Have you been to Wine and Eggs in Atwater?
No.
Amir?
Yeah, it's like that very thin store, right?
Where the slime is so tall and impacted.
Yeah, it's like that.
They just have wine and eggs.
Yeah, so this is slime and eggs on a pan.
Should we get into our first review?
Why?
Yeah. Yes. And eggs.
Why and egg?
I'll start us off. This is a
two-star review
of The Scrub Daddy.
And we need a
first and last name. The original?
This is the original. First and last?
Okay. Yeah. Julian and last? Okay.
Julian.
Then Amir, you hit him with the last name.

Julian Jarvis.
Sounds like a rookie prospect.
That's pretty cool, right?
Seven foot two wingspan.
Six foot two.
Two stars. 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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
No, I can't stand the guy. I'm not going to come over.

that this is a reliable tool i'm sure i'll find other uses for it as well cut um i know this is
like a real people not actors thing but um if you could just be like a little what's that
thing uh
sorry I've been hanging out with a different crowd
trying to get a little different
um
trying to get different
just we have to
focus on the commercial for now but
yeah I'm trying to get like awesome
because I'm like
over the hill and you know
I'm sort of losing my luster
for life and stuff so
started hanging out with like a younger crowd and trying to
pick up the lingo this is actually one of
my new buddies Darren
he's just going to kind of be shadowing me today
oh hi hi Darren
what up
what's up and the weird part is that's like
kind of a reference for my generation so yeah that's
yeah yeah yeah scary movie but they make it cool hey guys darren here just live streaming um my
buddy's directing a commercial today if you have any questions for us let us know hit us up
otherwise um we'll just be here chilling answering questions he's live streaming while you're making sure that we get
all of your uh cues aid as much as possible uh again uh if you're a nine or a ten uh slide into
those dms we're throwing a party tonight um but you gotta be approved on instagram so send us that friend request um oh first question from davis in davis california
tells you where they're from how'd you get this commercial gig do you want to answer that one
me or me or yeah either one i didn't know i was on the live stream um
um uh all right here's one oh have you guys 69 to this year that's pretty funny that's funny yeah
whatever thanks i think um sir i i actually i have to be back with my kids i only have the
sitter till four um and so i thought this is going to be like an hour-long shoot so i'm happy
to take any notes and run with it well we can just do the stream and then
like knock out the take afterwards wow she's like all in on the commercial dude no that's what i was
saying you're all that's what i was saying you before right like darren you saw i was like you're
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
They're a great Valentine gift for all of our grandchildren.
I don't think so.
Leanne.
Leanne, happy Valentine's Day.
Talk to your grandfather.
Just talk.
Say thank you.
He's so old.
I don't know how to talk to old people.
He's the reason I'm alive and you're the reason that I'm alive.
So you guys have that in common.
I was going gonna kill myself
until you were born just talk to him
hi grandpa
put down the switch
I did I said
hi grandpa and he just keeps saying my name
hi grandpa it's Leanne
happy
valentine's day
thanks grandpa
you have any flames
you have any flames you have any
any lovers
I'm 10
just make something up
he likes hearing about your fucking
boyfriends talk to him
I don't have many years left
I'd love for you to have some
grandchildren
do you want me to open the package
open it on the call
open it on the call open it okay all right here's
the packet oh that's nice there's a lot of like valentine's peanut stickers on there move those
aside and get to the meat of the gift i'm admiring the pack dad dad covering the phone dad this is
why he talking to grandpa he sucked you have to talk to him you never talk to him
because I came out of his
dick and you came out of mine just
start being fucking polite
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Leanne.
Leanne.
Leanne is older than the grandpa
alright should we do our last segment
yes
if we only
long
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Actually, Elizabeth booked the tickets.
The bravery is getting in my car and going to the theater.
Which movie theater do you frequent?
I'm not going to share that information on the pod because-
I know the information.
Holy shit.
