This is a HeadGum Original.
Get that Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good?
At participating restaurants for a limited time.
Riley, Riley, Riley and Jeffrey.
Riley, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee.
Talking Jeff and Riley.
I had a friend named Riley.
She cast a spell, a spell on me.
With me, Riley and Jeffrey would be three.
Flying free tenaciously.
Skinny dipping in a sea of Jeffrey I propose on bended knee
To Riley-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le Riley-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le
Jeffrey, it's me and Jeffrey and Riley And Riley, on a tree. Jubilee, Jubilee, Jubilee, Jubilee.
Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Riley, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee,
Riley, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey.
Riley, Riley, Jeffrey, Riley.
Woo!
Coming in hot. Coming in hot.
Coming in hot.
That was from Michael C.
I'm going to take a wild guess that that one isn't from this year.
You'd be surprised.
It's actually from September.
Yeah, no, that is going to go ahead and be 2021.
Oh, two and a half years ago.
I do apologize.
It took us two and a half years to play that song.
Michael said, here's a song for your listening pleather.
It's a cover of Lee by Tenacious D.
It really scared my dog when I was recording it.
You can hear the little whimpers in the background.
If it isn't played on the air, I'll be more than offended.
I'll be fine.
That was fantastic.
I can see why it would scare the dog because it's like all the,
and the dog's probably like, what the fuck? What are we doing? But it was fantastic. I can see why it would scare the dog because it's like all the, and the dog's probably like,
what the fuck?
What are we doing?
But it was great.
You all right, mate?
No.
It's like there was a knocking,
a knocking on the door.
But from under,
but from under me.
That's the demons.
It was like, literally,
it felt like someone knocked on the chair underneath me.
Oh, that's the demons.
They're coming for the payment. do you think my house is haunted
be honest
I do
I do think that you
are haunted
I don't think that
it's actually the
this area that you're in
it's actually
gonna be
the vessel
of you
so I could move
and I'd still be haunted
yes
huh
do you think
what like
what do you think I did
I mean god how much time do you think, what do you think I did?
I mean, God,
how much time do you have?
What didn't you do?
More like.
About an hour,
hour 20 maybe.
Max. What have you been up to
in the 40 minutes
since we last spoke?
No, not even.
We spoke, what,
10 minutes ago?
You literally,
like,
we took a 40 minute break
between recording the last episode
and this episode.
How sad is this?
And in that time you called me.
How sad is this?
I called you to tell you
why I was running a couple minutes late.
I know.
But then we ended up just chatting.
It's giving codependent.
You know what I mean?
It's giving codependent.
And you know what sex is like?
Peeling back a curtain.
You guys know this.
We're banking episodes right now
because I'm going to be leaving
for a little bit.
But the show will still be going.
So you will not know the difference other than me telling you.
Anyway, well, the difference is that it's me going to Fiji for work is the longest that
Alf and I do not speak on the phone.
And it's like, it feels weird.
It was strange the last time.
Like to go from talking every day to talking not every day?
Very weird.
Can you even imagine?
Sorry, just, like, think about that for a second.
Can you imagine?
In your mind.
Not even for you.
Imagine for, imagine thinking about what we're going through.
Not putting yourself in our shoes.
Your energy is so different right now than it was in the first episode.
It's because I'm caffeinated.
I have to believe it's the coffee, yeah.
I should have drank some coffee. first episode and i'm caffeinated i have to believe it's the coffee yeah i should have drank some coffee it's because i'm caffeinated um oh what is up with you like what have you been doing in the 40 minutes minus the 10 minutes we
were on the phone yes i laid in my bed and played on my switch did you play zelda like a bitch i
didn't actually oh what'd you play i'm not gonna tell you because
it may or may not have to be my workshop me oh well i've been playing more fallout and after
we finish this episode i'll probably go play more i that wasn't what i was doing my break
but speaking of video games um i said this to you the other day that i got to a point in
we were on a break i got to a point the the other day where I kept getting killed in the same spot.
I was trying different tactics.
I just, I am...
I'm still, because I'm more, I love...
I love playing on Switch,
and so it's like I'm still getting used
to going back to Xbox controllers.
Right.
So it's taking me a little bit of time
to feel comfortable.
Also, like, in the best case scenario,
the Fallout controls have never exactly been smooth.
No, it's very, there's so much.
It's a janky, every one of them is janky.
There's, like, a million things.
And I've only just now figured out, you know,
when it's, like, you can do, when you're, like, aiming at someone,
you can zoom in and you can see, like, different body parts that you want.
Was that?
Vats.
That's what it's called.
Yeah.
So I've only just now figured out because it's like, oh, I'll click A to lock a target,
but it doesn't do anything.
But I've just now figured that out.
Anyway, I got to a part where I kept getting killed and I felt like a teenage boy.
I was so frustrated that I was just like, fuck this.
And I turned it off.
I'm like, I don't want this stupid game.
I don't want to play it anymore.
I'm going to go back and play it. But it's like, I know I'm going to be at the same spot and I turn it off I'm like I don't want this stupid game I don't want to play it anymore I'm gonna go back and play it but it's like I know I'm gonna be at that same spot
and I'm inevitably gonna be like Daniel
can you help me kill the
ghouls like it's hard
it's crazy like hearing you say that it's crazy
to me like I have such a visceral memory
in my head of getting so annoyed
at game when I was a kid gaming
like as a teenager that I
would like break a controller
oh no i there's something about what the fuck was wrong with me like no no it's a game bro because
but i did the same thing but it's because we did it was like when you're in that state
of a frustrating game when you also have not learned and don't have the brain capacity or
there's all those hormones you know well but
it's like you can't regulate your emotions yet so it's like of course i'm playing tack and the
power of juju on my gamecube and i am dying dying dying and yeah i'll throw a controller
like and this was a week ago oh oh wow no it's gonna go ahead and be when i was about seven or
eight years old right i mean i yeah i mean, I remember breaking an Xbox 360 controller one time.
360.
And for the rest of time, that controller had duct tape on it.
Yeah.
360, yeah.
I'm young.
I'm a baby.
No, I played 360 as well.
I know, because you're almost as young as me.
Did you ever play GameCube games?
I didn't.
I was honestly too young. Actually? almost as young as me. Do you, did you ever play GameCube games? I didn't.
I was too,
honestly too young.
Actually?
I mean,
when you think about it, right?
The Nintendo GameCube.
When did this game come out?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
See,
here's the thing.
I remember this game
that I'm talking about.
Do you know what I'm talking about
when I say Attack on the Power of Juju?
No idea.
If anyone has played
Attack on the Power of Juju,
let me know.
This was a game I played in my i i'm i remember getting it when it came out
and uh that's gonna go ahead and the release date is is actually gonna be 2003 right well that's the
thing is the game cube 2003 the game came out in 2001 i was three years old like the we didn't come out
until i was five like when i was old enough to be like this is amazing i was eight when the we came
out you know what i mean so like i was too young to ever really be a game game cube kid i loved
my game cube i loved my game cube and what was that tack and the power tack and the power of juju
and what was the game i couldn't tell you you just remember loving it it was like an adventure game
like i remember loving it you were tack were you the titular tack yeah i was tack do you think they
still make that game oh my god wait i feel like i've seen i feel like i saw commercials for
like i remember this game strangely enough i loved that game yes holy shit that just like
awoke something in my brain um speaking of games speaking of fun things to have and use speaking of games come on man fun things to have
slash or you have and or use and since it's summer we are talking super soakers i hardly know where
we're talking about super soakers today. And I know what you're thinking.
I know you're looking in the analogs of this show and you're like, guys, Riley, you and
Jeffrey already did an episode with Daniel Rashid about water toys.
Sure.
But that was like about any kind of water toy.
This is super soaker specifically.
You chose this topic.
So let's let's get into it.
Yeah, man.
I love I love one of these
when i was a kid i getting squirting on people come on what it was a family show it was fun to
squirt i would get my gun and fill it full of water and i'd shoot all on my brother and the
neighbor the neighbor's you know grandma or whatever and oh my god no i wouldn't now what is the difference
is super so as i was looking up reviews yeah super soaker isn't a brand it is nerf yeah nerf
owns the sub brand super so i thought that super soaker was its own thing it might have even been
at one point and then you think it was like acquired could have been because i agree i was surprised by that being and i'm not gonna look it up no but i remember it being its own thing yeah like
the commercials for the the super it wasn't the commercial wasn't like the nerf super soaker it
was like maybe it was or maybe it was i mean it was a while ago um i haven't played with a water gun
in a long time
I mean I found them very fun but
can I be honest
I was more of a pool noodle gal
I loved a pool noodle
really? yes so much fun
pretending they're a horse
come on
is that all or
and then you would blow into one end and water would come out the back.
I know.
Isn't it disgusting to imagine putting your mouth on a pool noodle?
Yes.
Yes.
It's like, wow.
But you know what was amazing?
I have a very distinct memory when I was a child,
and it was so good that I remember this sensation in my body to this day.
Taking a bite out of a pool noodle.
Oh.
Come on.
You've done it. I did do it. Absolutely. Of did do it absolutely of course and it's like just think about it
yeah i'm like weirded out by your shit man no i do no it's imagining the sensation of
of biting into a pool noodle is extremely satisfying.
What I would give to in a very normal way.
Just take a...
You're an adult.
Oh, my God.
You could go to like Target right now, buy a pool noodle and just...
No, because it needs to be a little wet.
Disgusting. Something that was very disturbing to me. No, because it needs to be a little wet. Oh, disgusting.
Something that was very disturbing to me. Were you teething or what?
I couldn't tell you.
Super Soakers look too much like real guns.
And they're starting to really, there's so many different kinds.
I saw a lot of like fortnight um branded ones as well
and there's a lot of ones that look like a shotgun they look like rifle like they're suddenly um
i they're water it's just that shoots water in a fun way i don't think we need to have it be so
hyper realistic to like the details of a weapon do you know what i
mean when i was a kid water guns was just you fill it up and it was just a little little dinky guy
but now oh my god back in my day it really i know it's giving back in my day but back in my day it
wasn't as um lethal looking i mean back in my day they looked like in my day, it wasn't as lethal looking.
I mean, back in my day,
they looked like guns,
you know,
because I'm so young.
But not like,
not this many,
like there's just so many types.
It's just, I don't know.
It's upsetting.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I mean, at the end of the day,
once we get around
to regulating the real guns,
then let's come back around
and start,
you know what I mean?
No, it's in order of importance
first we do the super so we need to regulate the nerf shotgun super soakers um when was the last
time you used a super soaker super soaker or otherwise i genuinely couldn't tell you probably
high school it's like now i'm thinking back at it and i'm like why didn't i have one in college
people did people did fill them with liquor right i was gonna say because we there were no pools
no around us there was one very dirty river i would not have touched yeah if i could avoid it
unless you went into the bu gym pool that's true i never did i never did
either but how funny would it be if you went in with a fucking like giant ass super soaker
they're like bu swim team trying to prep for fucking nationals and you're like
dylan used to swim laps there. You remember that?
No.
I didn't know they did that.
Yep.
Do you want to get into reviews or should... Oh, wait.
Intention.
I remembered.
You remembered.
You nearly forgot.
I remembered.
You nearly forgot it.
This is going to be the most...
What we're talking...
I mean, it's something...
There's something very... with with how scary the
guns of it all are i think it's gonna go ahead and be maybe the most lethal fuck episode even
more than that bop it one where a bunch of people died yes potentially we'll see fuck that is a
scary intention man i'm quaking my boots quaking quaking. Quaking. I'm a quaker. My tail? Between my legs. I can start us

What's up?
Some kids are being really mean...
Who?
...at the pool.
No, Dad!
Dad, I didn't want to...
Give me names!
I didn't want you to get...
Who are their dads? I don't know
their dads. It's just like, you know how I was really excited to wear these new shorts, these
new trunks to the pool because they have my favorite Fortnite guys on them. The kids said
that these players are mid. What are you talking about? Your Peter Griffin Fortnite shorts.
Your mother picked those out special.
Those are really good.
They said that these Fortnite skins were pretty mid
and that only beta cucks wear them.
They did not say that about my boy.
They called me a beta cuck
and they said,
oh, your dad must be the cuckiest cuck of all.
And I don't really know what that means, but it doesn't sound nice.
It's not nice.
And it doesn't matter what it means.
All that matters is it's not nice.
Is it true?
No, I'm not a cuck.
Okay?
Okay.
Am I?
No, of course not.
Okay.
You remember your uncle? Yeah, of course not. Okay. You remember your uncle?

They're so much bigger than me.
Oh, nonsense. You're my big boy.

Not got the smallest water gun in class, though, do you?
Got a pretty big water gun.
What?
That's right.
I mean.
Look under the seat.
Why didn't you give this to me before we left for the pool?
Because it's important for you to learn the lesson that I'm trying to teach you.
Sorry, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
What's the lesson, sir?
Sometimes you have to get kicked before.
Oh, they didn't hurt me physically.
They just kind of like threw insults.
Sticks and stones.

What?
Cuck.
Jimbo!
I think you are the cuckiest cuck on the street.
Where is this coming from?
Soy boy who doesn't like to share his toys.
I gave you that toy.

I mean, doesn't everybody?
You're the king of the pool.
God, what I'd give.
No responsibility?
Now, I want you to apologize to me for all the times you didn't let me cry in the Cybertruck.
I was just trying to make you strong.
The Cybertruck was recalled.
Yeah, but I'm not giving it back.
I don't care what's wrong with it.
Airbags are not.
It's a cool car.
It's the accelerator that's the issue.
If you even read the news, you ignorant cuck.
I do my own research.
Oh yeah? Where?
Online.
You don't even know about it. You're a kid.
Why am I even talking to you?
Why are you talking to me? It's at to you? Why are you talking to me?
Shoots at your stomach.
Whoa!
Why are you talking to me?
Jimbo!
Because I'm your son.
And you've never really looked at me or accepted me a day in my life.
What do you mean? I love you.
You're my freaky little kid who's always...
See? Freaky little kid.
What?
Freaky little Jimbo.
You are!
Well, look at you now!
You're a freak!
I'm shredded.
I carried this water gun for 12 blocks on my own.
Whoa.
No Cybertruck in sight.
That's probably for the best.
I beat the shit out of those kids at the pool.
Whoa, Jesus.
The lifeguard too.
What?
Well, no, I made them throw up with the velocity of the water.
Like you did to me.
Yeah.
I just...
I'm sick of everyone picking on me.
It's okay.
And violence isn't the answer, so that's why after today I'm done with this thing.
You promise?
Only if you promise to treat me with the respect that your son deserves.
Jimbo, I never wanted this.
Whatever success looks like for you,
how you define it, that's what I want.
I was trying to make you into a version of, well, me.
And I see now that was wrong.
Yeah, no shite, Sherlock.
Okay, the rules about swearing in this house have not changed.
I said shite, I didn't say shite.
That's a swear.
Nope, fine.
Thank you.
But I see now that, you know, maybe you're not, you know, a bully like your dad.
And that's okay.
So you agree, you're a bully you know, a bully like your dad. And that's okay. So you agree, you're a bully.
Yeah, absolutely.
Maybe you're like a really buff freak who loves musical theater.
Like my mom.
Like your mom.
That's okay.
In fact, I think it's beautiful.
And who knows?
Maybe your sister will grow up to be a bully.
Just like me.
Cut to school.
The little girl's in class.
All right, all you cocksuckers.
Give me your lunch money.
It's my daughter.
Should we do our next review?
Should we do our next review?
Freak you.
Just like my mom. This is a review for Super Soaker Nerf Hydra Water Blaster,
65 fluid ounce tank capacity pump action water toys
for six-year-old boys and girls.
God, okay, well, better than children, boys, teen men.
Still strange.
For sure.
Of course it's still strange.
Five stars.
So much fun.
I got two for the campground for myself and the kid.
What a blast.
I have to get another as the hubby was jealous without one.
Men, are we doing okay?
I think the answer is no is what i learned from reading these hey hey man hey man i want to check in i just want to check in how are we doing
not good sounds like yeah it sounds like not good sounds like you want a super soaker
because you were jealous that your wife had one.
Wife and your kid.
The kid.
The kid.
I know.
It's like the kid and hubby in the same sentence was a tough read.
Sweetie, please don't bring your wet clothes into the tent.
Thank you. I know you're having fun with the kid out there, but still, it's our tent, wet clothes into the tent. Thank you.
I know you're having fun with the kid out there, but still, you know, it's our tent, and I'd like to keep it dry.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, I just, I'm not sure.
Sorry, how do you imagine I don't bring them in?
I don't know.
That's up to you.
It's just like.
I just change outside.
If you're going to play with the water guns, then you need to figure out how to, you know,
keep things dry.
Everyone sees me fully.
Well, there's a public bathroom.
I'm sure you could change in there.
Okay.
Will you hand me my dry clothes?
Yeah.
Yeah, there you go.
And.
I'm sure I have baby Yoda jammies.
I know you like those.
Thank you.
And for Toby.
Oh, I thought Toby had his own tent.
You know, he can have a gun.
He can have a tent.
Marcus.
He's still staying in ours.
No, no, no.
I will give him the Darth Maul jammies.
Why do you do this?
Why do I do what? Darth Maul. You're always Why do you do this? Why do I do what?
Darth Maul.
You're always making me the villain.
You know what I mean? No, I said Toby could have Darth Maul.
I know, I know.
But I was just...
And you have Baby Yoda.
I was just...
All the other kids have water guns.
Okay.
You wanted him to be left out.
I wanted him to be included.
And now you've made me the bad guy.
I never said I wanted him to be left out. I've never once be included. And now you've made me the bad guy. I never said I wanted him to be left out.
What did you want then?
What did you want then?
Because all the other kids on the campground have water guns.
They're shooting each other.
They're running around.
You want our kid to just be...
He's already an only child.
I never...
I'm glad he has one.
I'm glad.
Oh, good.
That's great.
He's making friends here.
I love that for him.
He's a shy kid.
It didn't seem like you were glad, but I'm glad to know now that you were well what about me sorry what about what about you what about you oh what
about me becky what about me um how about i have been in the tent all day. You have been running around with the kids. There's two water guns in this tent
and three people
in our family. That math
seems a little bit off, don't you think?
It's 10 a.m.
I mean, you can have a turn.
I didn't know you wanted to use...
Have a turn? I'm not a child.
No, okay, go. I'm done.
I came in because I'm wet. I'm done.
I'm over it. He's still playing. You can go out there and play with your son.
I didn't know you wanted to do that because you've been in the tent sulking all day.
No one offered me a gun.
You're a grown up.
A water super soaker.
What I'm saying is that sometimes I feel like you care more about the kid than you do your hubby.
Sometimes I feel like, oh, wow wow you know i i go to the amazon
this is what it's about and you said oh hey can you pick up the stuff for the campground
and i see on the package that it's from super soak it's from nerf and i said oh that's so
exciting this was thoughtful only two guns inside and it's like what a shot to the heart. What a shot to the heart, Becky. So, I'm sorry. Just so we're clear.
I organized the camping trip.
Yes.
I ordered everything.
Yes.
For the camping trip.
Yep.
I drove the van to the campsite.
I did the last 20 minutes.
Right.
But you said that you had to stop because your bunion was hurting.
That's true. And I didn't argue.
And I appreciate you
taking the first drive. And the one thing I asked
for you in this whole trip
was to pick some stuff up from Amazon.
Which I did.
And you found
miraculously something
to be mad about.
Well, not miraculous when it's a glaring, glaring, I don't know.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just say that it was a mistake that you only ordered two instead of three.
Maybe they only had two in stock.
Maybe.
No, of course they didn't.
They're Amazon.
I could have ordered a hundred.
Well, sometimes Amazon says we don't have that in stock right now.
That wasn't the case here.
Okay. So it was intentional.
I was trying to save money, right?
Because one of us is working, right?
And one of us is in charge of the finances and...
Freelance doesn't mean unemployed.
It does when you haven't had a gig i am between months gigs long gap
the thing is i don't think american audiences want their version of the wiggles like they did
in like the late 90s early aughts so it's hard to break into children's entertainment as a 45-year-old man. Right. Some would argue impossible.
I mean, 10 months ago? Some would argue a waste of time
when it's 10 months
and you haven't even booked a birthday party.
Kids want Bluey.
Okay, pivot.
Pivot?
I can't be Bluey, Becky.
That's insane.
Is that what you were telling me?
Oh, Mark, it's just be Blue what you were telling me oh Marcus just be
bluey I'm just saying just be bluey
don't be the shakers
what
definition of insanity Marcus
all I'm saying is that
you shouldn't
love the kid more than
me I don't
well look who got a super soaker and look who's stuck in the tent.
He's 10.
You're not stuck in the tent.
Nobody grounded you.
You could have come out at any time.
If no one invites me to play, how embarrassing is that to shove myself into a situation of like, oh, can I have a turn?
I'm 45.
I'm not 10.
I can't be like, oh, can I have a turn on I'm 45. I'm not 10. I can't be like,
oh, can I have a turn on the water gun?
Oh, you're 45.
You're not 10.
Wow.
Wouldn't have known by your behavior.
Would not have known by your behavior today.
I wasn't trying to pick a fight with you.
You're acting like a spoiled brat.
So that's how you really see me.
Today, yeah.
That's how you're acting.
How about you try putting on your empathy hat?
Because right now you're wearing kind of stern mom hat,
and I'm not your kid.
Marcus.
Why don't you put on your empathetic mom hat?
Here, I'm taking off one hat and putting one on you.
Here you go.
Marcus.
Here's your, this hat says, I'm'm empathy wife not stir i'm a stern mom throwing
that hat away your empathy wife marcus how about think about marcus i'm trying not to lose my But you can appreciate that as a social worker, sometimes my empathy hat gets a little bit burnt out at work.
And it's not always the role I want to play at home.
Okay?
I'm your wife.
I'm not your therapist.
Oh, my God.
This again.
I just think it's weird.
It's because you don't have the kind of imagination that I do.
No, it's not.
No, that's not.
I would do roleplay if you wanted, like, normal roleplay.
What?
No roleplay is normal?
Doctor or, like, fucking cop or whatever.
Like, you know.
Ew, you want to do cop roleplay?
What the hell is Becky?
I'm just saying, like, the more-
Becky, I had no idea that that was something that you wanted.
I like the baby Yoda pajamas.
That doesn't mean...
Mandalorian roleplay!
I don't want to be Yaddle for you.
The female Yoda.
She's 400 years old.
Trust me!
You think I don't know who Yaddle is?
I'm just saying, like, I'm...
Do you hear yourself?
You want me to be Yaddle from the prequels.
The 400-year-old girl Yoda who doesn't have any lines. She has empathy. just saying like i'm i do you hear yourself you want me to be yaddle from the prequels the 400
year old girl yoda who doesn't have any lines she has empathy and then you're the mandalorian
oh she has empathy and she listens she's on the jedi council that's it but she listens and she
cares and if she were wife she'd be empathy wife well she's not a wife because she was murdered
yeah order 66 got Yaddle too.
So I'm not going to role play a dead woman.
What are we doing?
I don't know.
How did we get like this?
How did we get like this?
Remember when we first met?
Of course I do.
You came to the park and I was performing as the Shakers. How did we get like this? Remember when we first met? Of course I do.
You came to the park and I was performing as the Shakers.
And it's just kind of me.
You know how in Mary Poppins,
Bert has like the one man band situation and that was me starting out
for my children's entertainment gig?
Yeah.
I had the drums strapped to my chest
and the cymbals on my feet
and the horn in my mouth.
Keyboards under my fingers. A hat on a hat on a hat literally on my head and the act figuratively yes
and i saw you in the crowd because you're the only one there and just just another you know childless woman watching a man perform a one band
one man band alone in the park
god don't you wish we could go back to those days
of course i do but our lives are different now. The world is different now.
And we have the kid, so that's certainly changed things.
Yes, Toby has changed things, but we both wanted him, remember?
Some more than others.
You disagree. you disagree i'm just saying i seem to remember watching tv with my husband
one night gonna go ahead and be me yes and somebody in the room and it wasn't me, said, aw, Grogu,
I want one.
We both had very different interpretations
of what that meant.
I think it was pretty clear.
That night, you, I remember,
poked a hole in the condom.
And I went out to Target the next day and got a grogu toy
so i didn't know you saw of course i saw
why did you never say anything
your body your choice right but if you saw right then and there you could have we didn't have to
you know i didn't know i had those kind of swimmers you thought you could get away with
just one huh yeah i mean maybe some part of you wanted it. The Grogu? The kid.
Oh.
Maybe.
But...
That's why you didn't mind that I poked the hole?
I guess not.
I guess it's like...
I'm just scared, Becky.
Being in children's entertainment...
Get out of there.
All these kids idolize you and they love you
and they want you to be their birthday
no kid
wants you there
doesn't see me like that
Toby loves you more than he loves me
of course he does
because I don't sulk in my room all day
you think I should go out there
he's desperate for a relationship with you but you're
weird you act so yes i don't like a kid that's desperate what i don't like that
he went over to his friend's house the other day and he came home and he said mom i said yeah he said mom steph's dad
plays with her does that break your heart a little well steph's dad's a cuck
by choice yeah i'm not judging if that's well then why'd you say it like it was relevant
just because it's like at least they're trying stuff you know oh my god um okay i'll wear the mask i'll wear the mask go get i
will wear the latex yaddle mask i want to apologize to the kid okay go out there then
don't make him march in here like he's going to the principal's office, you freak.
Go out there and talk to your son.
Okay.
And apologize.
I just said I was going to.
And I'm changing in the fucking tent.
Hey, Toby. I don't want to get a mole.
Fucking warts.
A mole?
You don't want to get a mole?
No, warts I meant from the floor hey toby
he's playing let him let him play he's clearly just what the fuck do you want you just said go
apologize to him don't make him come here because you're yelling at him you're yelling at him to
come here you're literally not doing what i said okay go up to him toby hey buddy can you put the
the water gun down for a sec?
Why are you shouting?
Walk up to him.
You won't have to shout.
I just said I walked up to him.
Hey, Toby.
Hey.
Hey, buddy.
Rico, we're using our inside voice.
Can you put the gun down for a sec?
Um.
Okay.
Sorry, guys.
I guess I have to go eat lunch or something.
Hey.
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
You never said that before.
What for?
I guess everything.
Like?
Everything that I have done or have not done.
Such as treating you like a kid which includes behavior i
just want it's a blanket of sorry for everything no specificity at all and i hope that you and i
can't point one thing can be better moving forward. It's not a competition for your mom's affection.
You hope you and I
can be better moving forward.
Yes. You get it.
So,
what you're suggesting is that I
bear some responsibility
for the reality of this
relationship. Never said that.
Implied it.
Implied it. Implied it.
I did imply it.
I just,
I love,
I love you.
Can I play now?
Yes.
Thank you.
Will you tell your mom that we're good?
Maybe.
Can I get a turn?
Never mind.
What?
That's stupid.
What were you gonna ask?
I wanted to get a turn
on the super soaker.
Any words you're missing in that sentence?
Please.
Any other words?
Thank you.
I love.
I already said I love you.
I didn't quite hear it though.
I love you.
Can I please get a turn on the super soaker?
Interesting.
Do you know Harry Chapin?
No.
American singer-songwriter?
No.
The Cats in the Quadle?
Oh, yeah.
And the Silver Spoon?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
You can't get a turn.
I'm too busy playing with my friends now.
You missed your chance.
Can I use your mom's?
Go ahead and ask mom.
That's her gun.
Fuck.
Becky.
I'm naked.
I'm changing.
What do you need?
I'm gonna use your gun, okay?
Fine.
It's not my gun.
I take it.
Blast the kids in the stomach.
Oh, shit!
I didn't mean to, um...
Marcus!
I didn't mean to do it.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Jesus Christ! It was the kid! the kid you are driving me insane get back in the tent you're naked i sorry i heard my
kid screaming in pain what you guys have never seen a woman's body before take a look. Soak it in.
This is sort of in a theme of many reviews that I read.
Super Soaker Dino Squad.
Dino Soak Blasters.
This is a gun that also looks like a dinosaur.
Perfect.
Non-violent squirrel gun.
Very accurate. This is a far-reaching and accurate water pistol i use it to clear the squirrels from the bird feeder the stream reaches the top of the high
pear tree where we keep the feeders the reservoir in the water pistol holds quite a bit of water
oh my god so i saw a lot that were like keeps the damn stray cat
off my yeah you know i've seen a lot of that of like the get the dogs to not bite or bark but i
felt like squirrel it's like i feel like that is a good use of it right like they're coming for the
bird feeder and it's getting a bit wet you just get him a little wet
just coming in a little wet. Oh, you just need to get him a little wet.
Two park rangers talking to each other.

crisp air, huh? Yeah, you said you were going to get that
looked at. Got it looked at.

were a little and it's true i mean i i've been i've never been to reno but i went to las vegas
once and whoo let me tell you i city i i was uncomfortable for the duration of that visit that makes sense so loud so bright
so many people like i was just overwhelmed i just it's not for me right i'm a country guy
i like this guy you brother and here we are like of a better better one so shame about the
hear about the
endangered species report
huh?
so sad
yeah
so sad
you know I'd seen
those birds
I didn't realize
that
that a lot of these flowers
are poisonous to them
you know they're they're sticking their i know sticking their bits and where they shouldn't be
and suddenly it's just it's just popping them off one by one i know i mean it's like you know
you read something today you you expect endangered species you expect it to be sort of man-made you
know human interference i know not just so dumb it's rubbing its cloaca
on a poisonous berry.
You'd think that evolution by now,
they would know what plants to stay away from.
No, and those plants are native, right?
Those aren't like an invasive species of berry.
No, the birds are...
Just dumb.
Humping away, and then all of a sudden,
there they go you know uh the uh mrs and i we got a couple uh couple possums in the yard
not surprised what's that not surprised what do Oh, well, growing up around here, you know, like,
you got to be real careful with your trash.
Otherwise, you're going to get possums for sure.
You know, I thought we were, but just the little suckers,
they find their way in.
You got to get a lock.
A lock.
Got to lock your garbage.
That's what we're missing.
Well, so, you know, my wife we we obviously want to protect
the species and everything it's not their fault they're just trying to find some food oh well
they're dime a dozen i you know shoot them if you like you with a water gun like sure yeah why not
and you mean like with water droplets yeah whatever stronger whatever. Stronger stuff you got. I don't really matter. I can say a dime a dozen.
Uh, John.
About as far from endangered
as a species can get.
You know what I mean?
John, come on.
You're not,
you're not killing the little rascals.
Not in the park.
God, take only pictures,
leave only footprints.
That's what I say.
Not in the park.
But yeah, I mean,
on the ranch, why not?
I mean,
groundhogs, possums,
raccoons. John, I don't
like... Squirrels even.
No, man. Hey, I
don't like that. They come for the green beans.
What am I supposed to... I don't like that.
I don't think you should...
I think it should just be the water.
Because then you just scare them off. Sometimes they need a little... I don't think you should i think it should just if you're gonna i think it should just be the water because then you just scare them off you know sometimes they need a little you know
i don't think they need that i mean you've been a ranger long enough you're you know you're
you need to just shoo them off let them be i'll always come back though
once they know there's food somewhere it's done

sure do away sure do blow them away well Sure do. Blow them away.
Well,
I guess that's the difference
between you and me.
I give a couple warning
with a water gun
just to make sure that,
you know,
I don't harm them,
but they know not to
mess with me
and come around these parts.
So,
I take a little bit of
water from a cup
and I just lightly splash it.
Oh!
Got me by accident there.
Oh, not quite.
Pretty good shot.
It's funny.
With water, that is.
Yeah.
Splash that water on my face.
It reminds me, um...
Don't say it.
It reminds me of your wife.
Don't!
I'll fucking kill you!
Water gun straight to the stomach.
Go through the stomach.
Oh, the other side.
Fucking dead guns everywhere.
Oh, no.
He's dead.

We are seeing a very quick astronomical rise of Chapel Roan.
I know.
I love her.
It's kind of been a very explosion.
I just love her.
And I feel like we are watching an iconic artist rise in real time.
And I've not been this excited about an artist and like their music in a minute.
That's awesome.
Like I just I really, really love her.
And her music videos are amazing i watched
some of her music for the first time last night and the my kink is karma video is just like

artistic voice is amazing i think her it's just everything about i just she's so unique and i i just i just love her this is so earnest like i really

music in a minute she does feel very um very of the time yeah Yes. You know what I mean? Like, she feels like,

this is a pop musician
for the 2020s.
You know what I mean?
Yes, 100%.
Like, obviously,

I've been
playing Stardew
Valley again I played what about you um i've been playing stardew valley again um i played it a long time ago and
it's changed a lot it's grown a lot over the years and i got it on the switch and it's just
such a soothing game making maintaining your little farm walking around i tried it once
and i found it very boring. That makes sense.
What are you growing?
Right now it's fall.
So pumpkins, yams, eggplant, corn still left over from the summer.
Got my chickpeas.
Yeah, that's boring.
Yeah, it is.
But I like it. It's boring for me.
No, I really, I remember I tried it and it's just because I've heard so many good things about it,
and I need a plot.
I need, I need, like, action.
I need, like, things to do.
I need a storyline.
You need to get so mad that you throw the controller across the room.
That's what you need out of a video game.
I want to play Animal Crossing,
but I feel like it's going to be the same thing.
I think it's even more boring frankly
if you think Stardew is boring
I think yeah they are cute they go
