Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. Get that Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now. Let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and a drink. Sound good? Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. At participating restaurants for a limited time. Alfred, you said it clear There was an axe and it was hurling
Starting point is 00:00:50 Towards Bardwell Evans' face It travelled up and into his skull But more, much more than this Alf did it Alf's way The axe, review, review There is not much else for me to mention. Alf did what he had to do. He wants a few things.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Wow, I'm only cutting that off because there is another full minute, I believe. You going to forward that one to me? That might be a new workout song for me. Workout song? Hold on. That was from Dom Ruggieri. Thank you, Dom. Dom says, all joking aside, I genuinely think Alfred is fine, okay?
Starting point is 00:01:57 Watch and come be a guest for the Omegle Game Show on Twitch, for Christ's sake. Dom, thank you so much for sending that in. What do you think the omegle great game show is porn i was gonna say do a shot every time there's a dick and then get blackout drunk in 15 minutes yep um thank you for sending that i i do love i think the other we might have had more but the other my way cover that we've had is i ate a tire. Alfred, teeny weeny polka dot bikini. Ryloney baloney. How are you doing, Alfredi?
Starting point is 00:02:33 I'll tell you one thing for free. Oh, my God. Holy shit. I'll tell you one thing. I played squash yesterday. Yeah, you do play with 40-year-olds and up. And that is old and i just want to say for anyone who's 40 that's old as hell the 40 year olds are the young ones no 40 is old 40 is old uh do you really think i'm old
Starting point is 00:02:58 what do you really think i'm old because i'm 40 so what happened you were playing squash i was just gonna say i'm uh i say, I went pretty hard yesterday. I can't play like I used to. You lost a lot of games, right? Yeah. I lost like 10 out of 11 games. Got it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I beat one guy, and I felt pretty good. And then he beat me after, and I felt pretty bad. But I woke up this morning, and I was pretty sore. I was stiffer than Red the Dog, if you know what i mean oh no don't do that here that's awful what alfred is so disrespectful of red the dog it is insane the dog has an erection stop it always not always true or false not always what percentage of the time what percentage of the time is that dog 80 too much if that was a person doctor's office like if red the dog was a person he would be either in prison for sex pestery or he would be in the hospital for blood loss uh speaking of sex pestery i realize okay so a game that friends and I have been playing,
Starting point is 00:04:05 a board game in a way, called Poetry for Neanderthals. Very, very fun. Basically, the premise of the game is like, we have the NSFW edition. Yeah, we're a little naughty. No, that's inappropriate. And it's basically, it's like, you get a phrase. So it's like, there's a one point word and then like three points for like a word combo so you know it could be like boob and boob milk or breast milk or something boob and boob milk yeah whatever but so it's like if and you can only it's it's like you know you
Starting point is 00:04:37 have to have your team guess the word and there's a timer but you can only give hints as one syllable words and no gesturing so it would be like kid drink milk from blank like it's it's yeah regardless the point is that i learned that i'm very good at this game um i kind of body it i'm not gonna lie and when you said speaking of sex pestery and that was a lot of like there was one, I was playing last night with some friends, and one of the hints was just someone said, not red, but, and I immediately guessed blue balls, and I was right. And so it's, and so it sucks to, that's a game I'm, and it was like, I guess I was so good at this game of guessing sex terms, giving good guesses or giving good hints that like three people came up to me afterwards and were like, you were so good at that game.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And I'm like, I don't want this to be what I'm known for. It's not bragging. It's like it sucks that that is something that I was absurdly good at that people like, oh, Riley. Oh, she's good at the weird sex game. I'm sorry i was so distraught by that that i did pour water all over my laptop that's really good i'm dealing with that situation currently um um but we're not here to talk about sex games thank christ uh we're not here to talk about reindeer games certainly did you like that as a kid reindeer games i'm
Starting point is 00:06:02 guessing this is my read that when you were a child and the whole class was singing rudolph the red-nosed reindeer like monopoly you were the one love that shit screaming yeah like monopoly of course i was did you not no because it was not only the obnoxious kids did that and i was cool and like okay then shock that you didn't. Come on. I was reserved as a child. I was very demure. We are here to talk about not reindeer games not sex games not melancholia. We are here to
Starting point is 00:06:33 talk about something timeless. Something effortless. Something slippery. Something wet. To talk about Tiffany and Co. something slippery, something wet, to talk about Tiffany and Co. And I said, what about breakfast at Tiffany's?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Alfred, talk to me about Tiffany's. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. For my first wedding, we did do Tiffany's for the wedding bands. But two and three, decided have you been to a tiffany's what do you think you never stepped foot in a tiffany's what do you think i mean like in new york i feel like it's a tourist place it's like you know you get but also i feel like it's like breakfast at tiffany's people go i guess oh sorry you don't give a shit about breakfast at tiffany's no i just think it's interesting that i was like i was saying like why would i go to tiffany's look at me that they
Starting point is 00:07:32 wouldn't let me in even and then you were like i think you would do it because you look like a fucking tourist is what you said to me i didn't mean you look like a tourist i mean it's like it's an iconic place it is iconic yeah it is iconic it is iconic and i've never been in have you been i've been in and it's beautiful really beautiful you've been huh fuck off it's gorgeous i mean it's it's beautiful it's a beautiful place um yes i've been in i do remember back in the middle school and early high school days when I was on Pinterest. And I'd be like, what do I want? I had a Pinterest board for my dream engagement ring.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And it was just like, in my head, I'm like, oh, well, it's because Tiffany's was the only jewelry brand name I knew. And I was like, well, when I get engaged, it has to be Tiffany's. Paint me a picture. It's like, well, when I get engaged, it has to be Tiffany's. Paint me a picture. It's 2010. You're working on your Pinterest wedding board. Yes. What does it look like? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I mean, it's got Converse under the dress. But it's like, but that's, it's got Converse under the dress. But then I'm like, no, what do I really want? And then it's like, because I watch a lot of Sex and the City. It was like, well, I have to have a Louboutin heel. I have to have a reded shoe on my wedding dress. It's a pair of canvas skateboard shoes with a red heel. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:56 A lot of, like, the, a lot of, like, sunflowers and vases. A lot of, like, the lace wrapped around mason jars. So kind of a boho, boho, 2010s boho. Kind of a boho, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But have to have a Tiffany ring for sure. Okay, I feel like that's a little bit of a clash. So what is your, I guess like, and I know you think about this a lot.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yeah, what's my dream wedding? Not necessarily what's your dream wedding, but it's like, what do you think of this a lot yeah but like what is your what's not necessarily what's your dream writing but it's like what do you think of when you think of tiffany's when i think of tiffany's i think of the poster for breakfast at tiffany's uh-huh i think of when i walk past stores like tiffany's like in major cities new york la these are some examples of big cities uh london even uh if you're feeling adventurous uh there you walk past stores like tiffany's or like you know any of the kind of designer stores i spilled water on my computer oh my god they're twinning uh and what you see is like they're often pretty empty you know what i mean because realistically who's going they're
Starting point is 00:10:04 very very very small percentage of population yeah but they always have somebody as like a security guard who's like full yes time job is to just stand and it's like a lot of like high-end stores and i always wonder about what that it's like what is it like to be the security guard at tiffany's who you just have to stand there for eight hours with like maybe a half a dozen people come in in your shift it's like that must be the most boring job that is wild I've never thought about that it's just like what what do you do all day it's like you sneak a little air pod in you're just like listening to review review if any of you are out there listening and you're a security guard of like a designer luxury brand store let us know because i want to know about your life because it's one thing if you're
Starting point is 00:10:50 like you're like a security guard in like you know i don't know a hospital you know or like a mall or even like you know when we were in college like our dorms there was like a security guard but these high-end places there are so it's so much less foot traffic nobody is talking to you you're just you're just like kind of like a gargoyle just standing there you heard it here first alfred thinks security guards are gargoyles i just uh should we get into the first review i I get canceled. Do you want to start or should I? Why don't you start her? I hardly know her. Okay. I'm very excited about these.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. No! Lie to me! Lie to me! Nope. Okay. So, both of mine are from the Tiffany's in New York because I feel like that is the iconic one. It's where Miss Audrey Hepburn went breakfast at Tiffany's. Like it is, in my head, that is like the Tiffany's.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And I imagine the most touristy of them all. Yes, yeah, I think so. This is from Jacqueline F. This is probably your favorite, yeah. And I rank them. I often will just kind of sit back in like a clawfoot tub and rank, what are my favorite Tiffany's?
Starting point is 00:12:03 And when you say clawfoot tub uh what i want the audience to picture here is it's a porcelain bathtub that has taxidermied very precarious it's sliding everywhere oil hand yeah or security jacklyn f uh jacklyn Uh, Jacqueline, Jacqueline Fanwell Miranda. Jacqueline Fanwell Miranda. God damn it. It's one star from Jacqueline Fanwell Miranda. So stupid. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:36 One star. My trip to Tiffany's is something I had been daydreaming about ever since the topic of marriage came into the picture. Finally, I was going to have my pretty woman moment. And perhaps a side of champagne? With my heart full of excitement and anticipations running high, my boyfriend and I headed over to this iconic store. Welp, I definitely had my moment, alright. You know, the part where Julia Roberts is made to feel totally and entirely less than and made to feel completely uncomfortable. You know, where the woman prejudged her and wouldn't help her. That's the one. Upon getting to the third floor, nobody would help us. I get it. I look young. And yeah, I'm not dripping in
Starting point is 00:13:16 diamonds. But come on, do your job. When a rep finally inconvenienced herself to help us out, she placated us. Any questions I asked were met with cheesy and elusive sales jargon. Being in sales myself, this infuriated me. One, you could clearly see this is a commission-based role, and once she realized we weren't going to make a purchase right then and there, her entire demeanor changed. Two, don't force feed me garbage lines about how the right time to buy is now. Leave that to your marketing team. Instead, try to be consultative and a subject matter expert. Maybe then I'd take you seriously. I guess I'd best take my 100k budget elsewhere. Insert clip where Julia Roberts re-enters the store. Big mistake. Huge. Oh, and P.S. If you really want something custom and unique,
Starting point is 00:14:01 you must go with our Tiffany True, only made by Tiffany. Gee, you mean to tell me I can get the same exact custom ring as the rest of the entire world only through Tiffany's? No, thank you. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Jesus Christ. That made me so angry. What was shocking is like,
Starting point is 00:14:21 is her being like, oh, okay, I'm a regular. I'm a normie. I'm not dripping in diamonds. Guess I better take my hundred thousand dollar budget it's like the thing that gets me is it's like okay so you're pissed that they're not paying attention to you right and you're like i'm mad that i'm not getting kind of the star treatment that I expected from Tiffany & Co. A pretty woman experience. And then you're also mad that they're selling too hard.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And they're paying too much attention. And I'm like, what do you want? And it's like, what it sounds like she wants is just like, dare I say, the experience of going shopping with a friend. It's just somebody to kind of like cheer you on. It's amazing. It's like when you have this idea in your head, it's like, she's like, I want it to be the scene. I want to be pretty woman.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I want to go in and I want it to be exactly this way. And if it's not that way, then it's not my day. And so anything that wasn't exact i also it's like i say i i also i'm like when you're like a bride to be yeah you're engaged and it's like how many days do you get to claim like your wedding day sorry it's actually my wedding day this is a day that's supposed to be about me i give that one to you absolutely my engagement party like this is supposed to be about me. I give that one to you. Absolutely. My engagement party. Like, this is supposed to be all about me. My bachelorette party.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Like, there's a lot of, like, pomp and circumstance surrounding getting married where I'm like, yeah, you can make that all about you. It's the day that I go and pick out my engagement. It's like it starts to get to a point where I'm like, it's just the day. And this is just another chore. Like, you don't get to kind of monopolize being special just because you're picking a ring. Okay. Okay. Tiffany's family.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Okay. We're going to be opening our doors in five minutes. Hi, it's me. For those of you who are new, I know we have a couple new hires. I'm Carol. Hello. Hello, sweeties. Aren't we all so lucky to be working in this beautiful establishment?
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay. So now before we open our doors for today's shift, I have a bit of a special request. I'm handing out pamphlets. So we do have a bride to be coming in today. Everyone's like, oh, exciting. Yes. Big day. Big day. Hope she gets a beautiful Tiffany ring. And so her... We can hope. Yes. Her maid of honor, Crystal, has given us some instructions. So just to pass these out to you, these are scripts for each of you for today. I know it's a little unconventional. But Jessica, the bride-to-be, has kind of a specific idea of how she wants today to go. So you all have your roles assigned. And unless there are are no questions I guess we can just get right to it. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Oh, you're new. Yes. What's your name again? Sure, my name's Damien. Hi Damien. So happy to have you here. Thank you. I'm so excited. Just leafing through here the pamphlet. Yes. If there's like a role we would feel more
Starting point is 00:17:23 comfortable in, like is it okay if we like talk on our side? Like maybe I can trade pamphlets. Like, I don't know. Damien, I completely understand where you're coming from. And that is such a great initiative you're taking. And I will mark that down, you know, for later dates. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that very much.
Starting point is 00:17:38 But no, unfortunately, no. The roles have been pre-assigned. Okay. And so you kind of just like, it's kind of like a you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Based on, actually, funny enough, Crystal, the maid of honor, she took a walk around and she like, based on everyone's vibe,
Starting point is 00:17:54 so she said, that's how she wrote the roles. So she bespoke for each person. Everyone's like, oh, cool, cool. Oh, wow, I got the hot saleswoman. I got the cool security guard. Oh, wow, Damien, what did you get? Right. So I guess that's what I'm wondering is,
Starting point is 00:18:09 so she went around the store and she said everybody gives off a certain vibe. Yes. And she looked at me and she said, troll who lives under the bridge. Troll who lives under the bridge. Yeah. It's like I sort of thought when I saw my pamphlet
Starting point is 00:18:23 that everyone else's was going to have sort of a fantasy theme. Maybe it was like i sort of thought when i saw my pamphlet that everyone else's was gonna have sort of a fantasy theme maybe it was like a themed wedding maybe she was like really into dnd or something you know i was expecting like oh shopkeeper and like oh made a you know they're here they're here oh okay okay everyone you've really got to play your parts did we want jessica to have the most special day and i think we can do that helping right here at Tiffany's okay ready and break ding-a-ling-ding-ding okay Jessica I got everything ready for you girl you have no idea what today is gonna be like um thanks I'm really excited this is my big day oh what what do we have over?

Starting point is 00:27:44 I'm Crystal. Behemoth didn't Jessica. Sorry, Jessica. I'm sorry. I'm Crystal. Behemoth didn't get much prep time for this. Behemoth came from his second job where Behemoth caters. And so he was not expecting to have this level of role at the wedding. Thought maybe he could stand in the back and watch. Can you please get us married, Behemoth? Right. If anybody has anything that they'd like to say,
Starting point is 00:28:10 why these two... I look at the crowd looking for the troll. Why these two should not be together, speak now or forever hold your peace. I said speak now or forever... I said I also speak now or forever. I also said speak now. Do it. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Anyone have anything to say? Oh, it's me. Gargamoth was having a cigarette. He thought he did not realize that the wedding had started, but he is here and he has a complaint to raise. Would you like my hand in marriage, Garkamoth? Do you want to steal me from Byron? Yes!
Starting point is 00:28:52 I run up, I punch him in the throat again. Oh, fuck! Come on! Entire congregation, yay! What the fuck? Ha ha ha ha ha! Should we take a break? Yeah, let's do it And I said, what about breakfast at Gargamoth's?
Starting point is 00:29:23 And we're back And we're back. And we're back. Oh, Gargamoth. Oh, Gargamoth, I long to see you always. Should we do two more? Fuck it. Should we do two more? Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Fuck it. Let's do it. This is a four-star review from Dean L. Dean L. Dean L. Dean L. Dean L. Four stars. This review is for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I don't give a damn about jewelry or bags. I didn't watch the movie. No. I dreaded going here, but the girls insisted. Figured it would be superficial commercial experience and that the food would be unimpressive. I was totally wrong. Service was elegant. Without being off-putting, the food was great, and the cost was surprisingly on par with other Manhattan establishments. The fruit bowl has real fig in it,
Starting point is 00:30:23 and man, that tasted nice. My waffle was a little more cake-like than I prefer. All of the dishes at our table were somewhere between decent and great. Other tables looked pleased, too. My wife and daughter found that you need to attempt to book way ahead of time. Every millisecond counts, and you'll probably fail. Get on the notify me list and answer back immediately if they contact you. It may be worth it. At a poker night with the boys. You won't believe this.

No, I think I'm normal and good, but everyone else is treating me like i'm a fucking dinosaur yeah can i be honest with you jimmy i want you to slap me across the face with your honesty um walks over to the to the wall there's a big mirror hey just um just look at that.

Starting point is 00:37:55 fuck uh what else do i like i don't know what's the point of all this feels just keep looking just keep looking oh what do you see uh what do you see in his eyes look at his eyes what do you see behind those eyes getting to some cataracts okay so he's getting older he's maybe starting to think about legacy a couple gray hairs coming in sure wrinkles and crow's feet. Okay. Not all bad. They tell a story of a life lived. Wisdom. No?
Starting point is 00:38:32 I see. I see. Me. You see you. I see. A man who's made some mistakes. Yeah. But can learn from them. Let me ask made some mistakes. Yeah. But can learn from them.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Let me ask you a question. Yeah, Jimmy. When you look at that man, do you see any part of your daughter in his face? What? Cindy, she's a chick. Right. But she's 50% your dramatic material, no? Stop saying no after every sentence. It's like you're a French waiter.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm serious, no? The way your nose goes up a little bit at the end. Your eyebrows. Mine makes sense when it does it because I'm a guy. But I guess... No, that's stupid. No, what were you going to say? I guess the way that my mouth crinkles in the corner when I smile.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I see that in my Cindy Lou Who, you know? Cindy Lou Who, I like that. Only I can call her that. You can't call her that. No, and I wouldn't. And I wouldn't. I wouldn't take that away. I guess we have the same laugh.
Starting point is 00:39:57 You like hearing her laugh? Yeah, I just wish she laughed at my jokes. Oh, tell me more about that. She doesn't think I'm very funny. Right. Is it because you say stuff that she thinks is dated? Yeah. Out of touch, maybe?
Starting point is 00:40:14 Offensive, even? Yeah. Right. Yeah. Seriously, she's on the rag, and so maybe I think that that's why she's not very perceptive. Okay, well, I don't think we need to necessarily get into that. But here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go back out to the party bus because I've been parked out there for longer than 15 minutes now.
Starting point is 00:40:32 So legally, I'm in a gray area right now. I need to go move the bus. And we've got a dance to get to. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to come back here next week, same time, and check in. Come back at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday? Yeah, just because, you know, your wife is at book club. Cindy usually is busy. You know, she has lacrosse.
Starting point is 00:40:53 So I just think it's going to be a time for you and I to just sit and talk. And for next week, I don't want you to think of it as homework but just something to pay attention to is moments where you think you're going to say something that might cause that reaction you don't like in Cindy that when she looks at you
Starting point is 00:41:18 that way as if to say well she doesn't think it's funny does she? No. Humor's all relative. I guess. So if she doesn't think it's funny does she no and humor's all relative i guess so she doesn't think it's funny don't say it but i think it's funny then keep it to yourself laugh in your head okay oh okay right now i gotta go i seriously the bus it's we're going do you have to go i know i know but i'll see you next week okay i don't want you to go no I'll see you next week, okay? I don't want you to go. No, I'll see you next week, but thank you so much for being open and honest and
Starting point is 00:41:47 sharing with me tonight. You sure you don't want a beer for the road? I am going to be driving a bus. I am 17. That is not okay. But thank you. Thank you. Oh, hey, honey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:42:04 How was book club? Oh, it was fine. Hey. How was book club? Oh, it was fine. We were doing a book that Susan suggested. I interrupt. I just grab your face and I just kiss you. It's deep, passionate kiss. Oh, my. What happened? What happened to me?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Where did that come from? A 17-year-old boy and I looked in a mirror for the better part of 20 minutes. Oh, Jimmy came over. Yeah. Yeah, he did that with me a few months back. What? Yeah, him and I have been actually, when you're at poker on Wednesdays, he comes over and we hang out for a little bit and we talk. I think we're going to be okay.
Starting point is 00:42:52 You know what? I think we're going to be great. Did I ever tell you the joke about the two women who walk into a shoe store on their periods. Yeah, you told me that one. Oh. Couple times. Maybe I should just keep it to myself. It's like in a cartoon, it goes inside his head and you just hear a little like,
Starting point is 00:43:21 That's a good one. Because they were on the rag. They went into the shoe store because they were on the rag. Women love buying high heels, spending money, and being on their periods. Here's what I know about women. They love to be on the damn period. This one is for the Tiffany's in D.C., District of Columbia. Oh, I'm ready for this. This is from Lauren M.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Lauren Madison. Lauren Madison. Feels like a porn star name. Oh, I was going to say it sounds like one of, like, a founding father's wife or something. But that's interesting. They're not mutually exclusive, honey. Okay. We all saw what Martha did. This is one star.
Starting point is 00:44:16 There were a bunch of protesters outside because Tiffany and Co. won't announce a fur-free policy. I won't go until the protests stop because I found it very disruptive. Protesting the protest. What do we want? An end to fur. When do we want it? Now. What do we want?
Starting point is 00:44:40 An end to fur. When do we want it? Now. Fur is murder. Come on, everyone. Fur is murder. Fur is murder. Yes. Excuse me, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Yes, yes, what's up? That Tiffany's store that you were about to go into, are you aware that they are killing animals, electrocuting animals just so they can use their pelts to make tacky hats out of? Did you know that? No, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I'm so sorry. Excuse me, I just need to run and I have to pick up an order. Oh, really? So you're funding the killing of animals. Are you aware of that or no? I'm sorry for laughing. I guess I just didn't know. Oh, murder is funny to you?
Starting point is 00:45:25 Murder is funny to you? You're laughing about murder? Would you be laughing if this was a person who was being killed for their skin? Murder is not funny. No, no, my God. Because that's what's happening in there. Person being killed for their skin? No, that's...
Starting point is 00:45:36 Tiffany makes jewelry. I'm sorry. No, they make fur jewelry. Fur jewelry? What even is that? It's like when you take like fur like a scarf or something and you put a bunch of diamonds i don't know exactly is that true or do they make that i don't know exactly what they do with the fur i never claimed to be a fur expert all i know is
Starting point is 00:45:57 that they are that they're making fur jewelry you're just making that up i assumed it was fur jewelry because it's a jewelry store and i know they're using fur. But they could be not using it for fur jewelry. That's very possible. But that's not the crux of the issue here, is it? That's not really what we're talking about when we talk about murder, is it? Well, no. Talking about murder is one thing, but you're stopping me from going in there because they're making fur jewelry, which I know is not a thing. If you show me a piece of fur, how about we go in there?
Starting point is 00:46:23 How about you come with me and we go in store and if they are making fur jewelry then i will stop spending money at tiffany's i swear on my children's lives fine yeah let's go in there or whatever yeah fine hey everybody i'm gonna go in to the store but it's part it's part of the protest it's no no it's part of the protest we were just oh's part of the protest. Oh, yay! When do we want him to go in the store? Now. And when? Okay, go into the store. Bye.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Bye. I think I covered that well. Oh, thank you so much, Deidre. How are you? I'm good, Sandra. Good to see you. Spits on her face. Murderess! Murderess! Murderess! Security guard comes over.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Oh my god! This protester just spit on me! Do you know, Mr. Security guard, that by working here, you're actually securing murderesses like this one? Murderess? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:47:24 You need to go. No, they kill animals here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Jackson, Jackson, hey, it's me. It's Sandra. Oh, hey, Sandra. Good to see you. Sorry, this is a little experiment we've got going on. This protester. What is your name? I didn't get your name. Oh, interesting. Didn't occur to you to ask
Starting point is 00:47:40 my name until now. I am. No, you didn't ask my name. Interesting, Sandra. Interesting. What's your name? Polonius. That's not your name. Your name's not Polonius. I'm scared to tell you my real name because I'm worried I might commit a crime.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And if I tell you- Can I take this person out? No. No, no, no. We're doing an experiment. Polonius. Speaking of experiments. Speaking of experiments.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Oh my god. Did you know what they do to animals here? No. They test. They test jewelry on them. They do testing. Is that true? They do experiments.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Is that true? Yeah. They put. They will force feed them diamonds to see what happens and stuff. They'll do experiments on them. Polonius here is coming to show me the fur jewelry that's made at Tiffany's. Yes, the fur jewelry. Yes, we all know
Starting point is 00:48:30 this. So, Polonius, can you show me the place? Can you show me where... Okay, murderess. Lead the way, murderess. Sorry, I don't know what fur jewelry is. No, okay. I don't know. Drop the charade. Show us the fur jewelry, murderess.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Can you explain? And we have jewelry shaped like a bunny. We have a fox ring. We have... Oh, I'm playing done, Deborah. You know, it's like I'm living in a sitcom, the way everyone's acting today. No, fur jewelry...
Starting point is 00:49:01 Everyone's acting. I know you have a fox's skin with the hair on it and you've put you've like put gemstones in it or something you've like made it so it's like a piece of fur but also jewelry you've done something to it where it's both so show it i can't say i've ever heard of this what makes you think it is Is this some kind of Reddit, 4chan, 8chan conspiracy? Um, let's just say I don't use those. Okay, so then where did you hear this? I'm scared to tell you in case I commit a crime.
Starting point is 00:49:39 A polonius? Because then it might seem premeditated if you can find out where I said it. Where did you find this out? Instagram reels. Whose account? Liverking. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:00 He said it like it was a good thing. He was like, they have fur jewelry there and it's tasty. Okay. Well, I'm going to continue my shopping here. Obviously, there's no such thing as fur jewelry. So I think you can step out. You can go. Listen, I agree.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Animal testing, horrible. Using pelts, awful. You know, I think it's maybe time that you can go protest that, where they do have unethical sourcing of pelts, you know, for fashion. Which would be, like, where? Not a jewelry store. You can protest jewelry stores for plenty of other reasons. Huh. Okay, well, I guess I learned a valuable lesson here today
Starting point is 00:50:43 about not necessarily taking everything for gospel. Okay, well, now why don't you get on out of here? Okay, thanks, Sandra guess I learned a valuable lesson here today about not necessarily taking everything for gospel. Okay, well, now why don't you get on out of here? Okay, thanks, Sandra. Plenty of sleep. Okay, Deirdre, can you put the fox pelt ring in the bag really, really quick? Just wrap that up really fast. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. Mademoiselle, can we interest you in something else today?
Starting point is 00:51:02 A little bit of mink with an emerald in its eyes. Oh, I will take that as a oui, oui. We pulled one over on that American. Idiot. Bolognese. What a fool. Everyone's wearing like socks. They were all wearing like huge parkas. Everyone's wearing Like They take
Starting point is 00:51:25 They were all wearing Like Like Huge Like parkas Like you know Trench coats They take them off
Starting point is 00:51:31 They're just covered Head to toe In fur It's animal pelts But like the eyes Are rubies And like Huge
Starting point is 00:51:38 Like philosopher's toe Just like the biggest And they're all They all have French They're all pretending Not to be French oh look at what we have silly Americans
Starting point is 00:51:49 let us make our minks kiss on the lips hey everybody Alfred here just cutting in when we were putting together the episode I was worried that some of the French stuff might come across as offensive so I just wanted to apologize to all of our French listeners and say we would never want the sketch to be about that.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Also, Riley cutting in here, uses of pelts are fine and have gone back a long time. Just don't make, don't use it as like a fucking scarf from Nordstrom, you know? Yeah, and as a fur fan myself. Okay, let's do our last segment. As a fursona lover. Okay, let's do our last segment. This shook me all along. What are you singing? Like the beginning of Barracuda?
Starting point is 00:52:50 Take a chance on me Okay Baby, I'm still free What's been shaking you? Take a dance on me ABBA? What's been shaking me and is ABBA? No
Starting point is 00:53:00 I Recently If you change your mind A couple weeks I went to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Oh, Gorgina. Not Switzerland. Wisconsin. Which you may know, or you may not know, as the birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons.
Starting point is 00:53:17 You're lying. Gary Gygax. You can't just say stuff. Gary Gygax, the mastermind behind the game we know and love, Dungeons and Dragons, it was from Lake Geneva and he I went to the very house
Starting point is 00:53:34 the basement of which, and yeah you'll be not surprised to learn it was a basement. He invented Dungeons and Dragons and it was so fun because it's like like, not marked, really. It's, like, there's just... So you just broke into someone's house.
Starting point is 00:53:50 No, like, you can find the house, like, online, but then you go and it's just a house. But, like, you can, like, rent it out and, like, play D&D there. But the thing that was really funny is, like, you look on Google Maps and you're, like, and it's, like, the Gary Gygax Memorial.
Starting point is 00:54:06 And you're like, wow, the Gary Gygax Memorial. And you, like, go and it's, like, a fountain in this park where there's probably, like, three dozen little squares with the names of different donors from the, like, community. Whoa. One of which happens to be dedicated to gary gygax so it's not that the whole fountain is dedicated to him it's as if there's an entire park where there's one park bench that says in loving memory of gary gygax and they someone put on google so we went expecting this whole thing to be dedicated to him but But it's literally like, you know, John Martin, DDS, is one of the little bricks. And then the next brick says.
Starting point is 00:54:48 That is wild. And it was really funny. But it was a fun place. And I can see why you would invent D&D there. Because, well, there was nothing to do. Sure. It was a very boring place. But it was lovely.
Starting point is 00:55:01 It was a nice respite from this. That's so cool. That's such a wild. City life, I believe. Yeah, but it was lovely. It was a nice respite from this fast-paced city life I lead. Yeah, I don't know. Zooming about in my motor car. That's such a cool, random thing to do. And we didn't go there because... You made a pilgrimage.
Starting point is 00:55:16 No, seriously, we just went, and then we were like, well, what the fuck do we do now we're here? And we were like, wait, the house where D&D was invented? That's very cool. So it was very fun, and I thought of you where dnd was invented that's very cool so it was very fun and i thought of you of course because that's how we met because i'm cool and hot nope i wouldn't say either of those are true but live your truth mama uh and what's been shaking you my friend what has been shaking my ass besides that new massage chair you bought. What has been shaking my rumpus? What has been shaking me?
Starting point is 00:55:48 Come on. I talked about Gary Gygax for 45 minutes. I'm trying to think what else. God. We haven't recorded in a minute. And so it's. So much has happened. Well, you'd think that I would have something because so much has happened.
Starting point is 00:56:04 But in fact. So much has happened but so much has happened um huh i guess what has been shaking me okay she's gotta get there soon something it's something's been shaking me for sure the other other night, Daniel and I went to drinks for one of our best friends, Jay Lee. He turned 30 recently. And we surprised him at this bar for drinks. And I was just throwing on some makeup before we went. And it's like I have my go-to looks that I know I can do really quickly.
Starting point is 00:56:43 You put a tight to go and you rub it all over your lips you go to the hospital yes yes um but i don't know what possessed me but i decided i'm like what if i tried a cat eye what if i just tried it with some liquid liner and it was my first time trying it probably since i was in like high school and i i kind of bodied it like it wasn't amazing but for a first try and I think it's because we were in a rush we were going to be late and so I'm like no one time no thought and I just like did it and it worked I think had I had more time to be like okay let's try it slowly then it wouldn't have happened um yes and so I've been trying it and I've done it like two or three times since uh and I'm really proud of myself for that because it's just you just kind of kind of go for it and do it and practice makes perfect. But yeah, so that's been cool to know that I can do that.
Starting point is 00:57:36 And especially with like a liquid liner that it's, you know, not an easy task, not an easy task. So, yeah, I guess I'm a makeup guru. Is that fair to say you're an mua yes yeah yeah i'm i'm i'm i'm makeup artist you're the band um have you ever seen um the netflix competition reality show about makeup the name of which is escaping me at this moment is it the one that trixie and katya like they reviewed it one time they would like to did like a netflix i like to watch video probably that's to make sense yes I've seen it through that I know what you're talking about though yep good show where can people find Alfred I guess they can find
