Did he just lag to you right now, Hessa? No. At all? We are ready. Jock, I guess if you've got something prepared, then I'm totally... Do you want to open it? You've got something you want to say. I just wanted to mention that since I got a haircut and a shave,

Starting point is 00:01:17 Hello. Well, welcome. Jock said he wanted to do a cold open. I guess the cold open was the five awkward seconds while Jock didn't know what to say I think demonstrably it's the issue is that Jock doesn't know what a cold open is Jock has no clue
Starting point is 00:01:33 he thinks that a cold open is just like is just saying something that you start with yeah at the beginning of the podcast look I you shove a bunch of cold cuts into your mouth at the beginning of the show look i shove a bunch of cold cuts into your mouth it's a cold open it's when your hole is out in the wind you know it's not it's not my business to know it's my business to show up it's quite literally your job to know no what that is you're
Starting point is 00:01:58 no no no no you're the confused one. And I am right. A phrase that Jock says constantly to everyone around him. You're the confused one. I don't know what I am, but what are you? It's true. Look, let me put it to you this way. I have been through a lot this week already. And particularly last night, I had a little birthday.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Is that different than any other week in your life? Why don't you shut your... It always seems like you're going through a lot. Why don't you shut your... I'm just asking. Why don't you shut those little cherry lips of yours up? Thank you. Thank you.

Anyway, last night I had a birthday party and an old friend came by and she came up to me and physically grabbed my mustache up and down, like trying to pull it off of my face.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And she said, wait, that's real. That actually that happened to me last night, too, except I was I had a really bad fake mustache on and she ripped it off straight off my face. See, I find that offensive marks your groucho marx costume i guess i'm hesitant groucho marx's mustache is famously a grease pen so you can't rip it off are you are you familiar with Asshole. Owned. Asshole. Hey. Hessa. Are you familiar with mustache appropriation? Yeah. It's one of my favorite punk bands from the 90s.
Starting point is 00:03:59 The post-punk UK scene was really amazing. I fucking love their shit. I can't talk to you two about anything. I love their collaboration with Robin Grissel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all are junkies. You can't tell you a, too, about anything. I love their collaboration with Robin Grissel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all are junkies. You can't tell you a single thing. Drunkies. Drunkies or junkies?
Starting point is 00:04:11 I am over. I am over. You are drunk. Y'all are both drunks, too. I am drunk right now. No, I'm not. I'm actually just sober. I'm totally sober besides the mushroom coffee I drank this morning, which is exactly correct.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Okay, that company reached out to me. Look, look, look, look. I know you always... Okay, let's talk about that mushroom coffee really quickly. I've got a sponsorship from them on the line, y'all. Really? To be honest. I don't know if I do too many drugs.
Starting point is 00:04:41 You won't get any of the money from it. I'll tell you that right now. Mushroom tea doesn't work. No, it doesn't work. It's not tea. It's coffee, for the record. I'm not angry. I'm just drinking.
Starting point is 00:04:52 It really does kind of wake you up. It does wake you up. It feels exactly like crack cocaine. You made it for me one day, and I really... Wow, that was one of the great mornings of my life. Blast off. Waking up, and it was you of my great the great mornings of my life was what blast off waking up and it was a great morning on my life me in the cabin and jake made me coffee and you made me mushroom coffee and i had both i was double fisting them oh i'll do both all the time who but it's called um it's called new roast it's so brian johnson but it actually works and i love it
Starting point is 00:05:27 so much and i was tweeting at them and like i was tweeting and adding them and it was pictures of like literally hunter biden smoking crack and i was like what at new roast makes me feel like every morning i'm sure they love that they were probably like the one gay guy who's sweating it's like the one gay guy who runs their social media who's not allowed to retweet it but it's just like sweating they did retweet it oh that's so beautiful and then they dm'd me and they were like thank you so much for boosting our product we really appreciate the support and i was like i fucking love you guys i'm i'm not getting it it does feel like crack and then they they sent me a couple bags to get them to sponsor you right do you remember telling the story a couple bags um to my apartment um in
Starting point is 00:06:17 new york but i haven't been back and i think they're probably just like languishing in my lobby i mean um you know um usually the dementia alzheimer's type thing of you repeating repeating a story is my thing but i guess ben will do it today my um told this mushroom story before the one person the the one thing that i've tried to get a sponsorship for seeking derangements from is um mount olive pickles and i was just checking to confirm they still follow me they follow me on twitter oh my god wait so they it's a pickle company yeah mount olive pickles they make the jalapeno pickles um you know the pickled jalapenos that are so good i love jalapenos yeah they're like so good and they're at every bodega and i'm i um tweeted something about them
Starting point is 00:07:12 and they like messaged me and were like thank you for tweeting and i was like i will please sponsor no i know i know i know that's exactly i feel like if we refined our tone a little bit to these brands, we could probably get an actual sponsorship, but we act like, we act like homeless people begging for change. Like, please. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:36 We act insane. We act insane. Yeah. That's so weird. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Please. It's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'm going to kill myself if you don't sponsor us. My dog died in Vietnam. I haven't been happy after the Simpsons, please. My dad was in Iraq. He died. Please help me. My mom was a first responder. I should have bought it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 9-11. I should have bought it. I've been thrifting a lot, and I saw this shirt. Well, my dad was a first responder in 9-12. My dad actually was the first responder in 913. I saw this. My grandpa died in 914. Well, actually, my entire family died in 915.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Your joke is so bad. I saw, I saw, I saw these. I love when he takes his mic off because I can see his new haircut makes him look like a circumcised penis he looks like a chode no it looks good it looks sharp
Starting point is 00:08:31 I love that he throws a fit he literally throws a fit anytime we do a bit it's kind of like he's eating something it happens truly every time we try to do a bit on our comedy podcast he throws a fucking fit I'm getting mad It happens truly every time we try to do a bit on our comedy podcast. Yeah, we do a bit. He throws a fucking fit.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I'm getting mad. Well, I'm fine with him throwing a little fit right now. I'm happy to keep going with it. He's eating food, which will help his mood and will also help us. It is truly shocking that whenever he's in a bitchy little mood, it's because he hasn't had 3,000 calories. Hello, queen! Welcome back!
Starting point is 00:09:10 Welcome back! You're looking so beautiful today. I love the haircut. Oh, my dad died in 960. My dad... Sorry, Jock. You had something you really wanted to say, I believe. Do you care to share it? We're done making a joke.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm sorry. We're done joking. We're done joking. Let's get real. Let's all get real. Can we all get real? Why don't we be real before we get real? Okay, let's be real and then let's get real.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Okay. Yeah. Let's start by being real and let me know before you start getting real because then i'm gonna have to warn it's gonna be pretty scary we're gonna have to i'm gonna have to press the beat button for three minutes okay first of all and y'all the romani people oh no so the first of all what i was trying to say before I was interrupted by two retarded devils that should be put down. You weren't interrupted.
Starting point is 00:10:08 You were actually trying to interrupt us. Oh, my God. You fucking insolent. You fucking mindless dopes. Anyway. So rude. Oh, I'm so rude. Why don't you go stuck a corn up your asshole, you fucking Iowa prickhead?
Starting point is 00:10:28 Anyway, so as I was trying to say before, I was rudely interrupted by two shit brains with fucking the brains of a dumb asses. Yep. I served. Period. But no, what I was gonna say is that when I was thrifting this weekend, I saw a shirt and it said,
Starting point is 00:10:50 hello, I am the proud father and a Vietnam veteran. Let me in. I don't know why I didn't buy the shirt. It reminded me of all of your little veteran and Vietnam talk. That's like a shirt that a vampire would wear. I don't, I think, yeah. Because a vampire has to be veteran in Vietnam. That's like a shirt that a vampire would wear. I don't, I think.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah. Cause the vampire has to be invited in somewhere. Why would there be? Yeah, exactly. Proud father and a Vietnam veteran. Let me. And a vampire. That's the best plot line for a TV show.
Starting point is 00:11:19 No, it says that on the back. So after he walks in, it's too late, you know, cause he walks in and then you see the back of the shirt and it's like fuck oh my god no if I had only been able
Starting point is 00:11:30 to say that joke earlier it would have had the impact of the Titanic hitting the glacier wall one of the great jokes in the history of the world it would have been great but we've got calls to get to today everyone we are taking your calls um and
Starting point is 00:11:46 we're reading some of your text messages maybe we'll see we've got quite a few calls to get through um they better not have left us too long of messages because i it's okay it's okay um but you know just just a reminder if you want to call us um if you have any, you know, if you need advice on something happening in your life or, you know, you just want to tell us a funny story. Right here. Which one for Talmadge? The one I'm highlighting. Yeah, that is the number right there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:16 It's 332-203-8247. No, no, no. You can call or text that number. My phone number. Do not read another number. No, no, no. You already text that number. Do not read another number. You already sent out the wrong number for this. My phone number is 337-296-12...
Starting point is 00:12:33 Okay, don't say your phone number. I'm just letting him do it now. I'm fully just letting him do it now. No, I'll read it right now, actually. If he wants to keep reading it, I'll just tweet it out later so all of our fans know they can talk to Jock there.
Starting point is 00:12:47 But, Hes, do you want to get us queued up with our first call? Yeah, I really love this one. This one's amazing. Ready? Yeah, let's hear it. Hello. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd give y'all a call. I, like
Starting point is 00:13:03 many of us, am a white devil that reverted the glorious tradition of Islam. Not kidding. Salaam alaikum. I appreciate that there seems to be this running... Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Can you pause it really quick? Do we believe him or not? Let's just before we go any further, do we believe that this gay man is we believe him or not just let's just let's just before we go any further do we believe that this gay man is a practicing muslim or i believe him just because he said not joking otherwise i would have thought a lot of times gay guys say that when they're joking gay guys aren't allowed to say that and be joking they're not allowed to be lying if you say that then you have to tell the truth. I think he's doing a bit. It's
Starting point is 00:13:48 hard to tell because he did say As-salamu alaykum. The thing is, he said Islam. He didn't say Islam. He said Islam. He said it like a completely like, yeah. In a real way. Yeah, that's how you know he's
Starting point is 00:14:03 Islam. Islam. Yeah, I mean how you know he's... Yeah, Islam. Islam. Yeah, Islam. Yeah, I mean, you can hear the peace and tranquility in his voice when he does say Islam. I buy it. Yeah, Islam. All right. Jock, do you have anything you want to say?
Starting point is 00:14:16 Do you believe him or not? What do you think? Jock is like, yo, I don't even know what's going on. I can't hear him. I think his mic is disconnected he managed to disconnect oh no what did he what did him what yet another win for jock today um has said let's keep playing the call okay jock you've got to reconnect your mic clang about um i wanted to check he did the word. I was feeling about his prediction that reverting is going to be coming into fashion. And I also wanted to check to see and ask, who do y'all think on the pod is going to convert first? Smart Money is on then i think yeah i'm saying once that uh you should just
Starting point is 00:15:10 imagine a hot person looking at you all at all times that's oh my god yes wait how's a posit this is part of my that's actually yeah that's a good way to someone i i've been saying this for years i was like you know the best way to live is to pretend it's just to act like a hot person is watching you at all times yeah at all times yes yes and then someone once told me that that's um just oh my god but I think I mean it does it does like legitimately help me when I feel like I'm going to do something bad or embarrassing or shameful to just imagine like the hottest person I know watching me do it and then I don't do it yeah no absolutely it helps a lot it helps more
Starting point is 00:16:09 than thinking about God I'll be honest yeah I think yeah I believe I think I in a roundabout way believe in God but I always I believe that there's a hot person watching me at all times I think that I see everything bad that I do
Starting point is 00:16:24 and I think that they've really judged me for it. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, let's hear more from this gay little Muslim. Yeah. But wild card jock might in his
Starting point is 00:16:40 series of afflictions be brought to the straight path. Okay, I think that Max is, out of all of us, I think Max, honestly, is the closest to Allah's light. I would say he's the closest to God, for sure. He's already living in Al-Andalus, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:06 Andalusia he's living in. Yes. Well, he's from Salvadoran. The traditional land of Fala. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's basically like the... Well, he was in Spain. Spain, I guess, is a little bit more part of the kingdom that's their kingdom yeah probably i mean that's basically it who which one of us do you think will make a big conversion first to some religion um we'll be the best i would say i mean after we all convert because that's gonna happen well who do you think is going to be the best at it yeah i think i am due for a moment in my life where i literally become i think yeah i can i can sober like

Okay, well, thanks for letting me hear any of this call. Okay, so we thanks for letting me hear any of this call. Here, a single... Okay, so we're kind of...

Starting point is 00:20:31 it's like dunya or something like that dunya dunya you're done you're done dunya sounds like a Star Wars character something like that we've got a Star Wars character. It's something like that.
Starting point is 00:20:45 We've got some Muslims who listen and they'll tell me. We talk like, Literally. Literally. Alright, let's hear this one. Okay, this is a good one. Hey, so, long time listener. Anyway, I'm a college student
Starting point is 00:21:03 and Thomas Johnson is going to be living on the floor below me. She's moving in next week. Today, I eliminated the signs put on his door. He's got a picture of you on there. I confirmed it's him. Like, my RA's have pictures of everyone. He's got no one, so it makes sense. Anyway, I thought you should know since I found out about him via your podcast.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That is crazy. I'm keeping an eye on that guy. You have to stay alert. You have to stay alert. Could you imagine going to school with Talmadge? Because, I mean, if he's actually doing Blueprint every day, that's like being in a full college course itself. Like, imagine inviting him to like a party.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Oh my god, could you imagine? No, that's actually like the ultimate fantasy of like, imagine like corrupting Talmadge. Yeah. Corrupting Talmadge. Like that's like the ultimate. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:22:16 it'd be a lot of fun. It'd be a lot of fun. I'm, I'm curious. I mean, she said he has a picture of Yoda on there. That checks out. That's really crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I, I don't know. That checks out. Well, also crazy. I don't know if that's like... That checks out. Well, also, that could be like when you're in dorms, they do like... Sometimes they do a picture on every door or something that might not be his, but I'd like to think that it's his.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I'd like to think that he put a picture of Yoda on them. I'm shocked Brian even allowed him to go to college. I know. Really? I thought he would home college him i thought he'd home college him you bring in professors you call him like guest you have a great guest lecturer coming in this week yeah wait that's our way in we've got we've got we've got a shot of brian here to teach african-american studies and it's brian who walks in in a wig oh no oh no he's all the teachers like child let me tell y'all we Brian walks in with a wig like
Starting point is 00:23:29 black people ain't having no Bernie but I mean I'll tell you this black people are not having any blueprint no way blueprint has got to be truly like the whitest idea on
Starting point is 00:23:44 whitest idea in the history of the world literally literally you could be an idea i mean can you oh my god oh my god brian's got we need to start yelling at brian to diversify blueprint so he has to go and show it to people of color who would be so scared of him he's so scared of him who is this freak who is this woman who's this scary lady y'all this white lady is insane this lady is coming in here telling us that we have to eat literally we have to eat mung bean paste all day someone making a karen video of brian of the south side of chicago trying to force a bunch of families to drink the green giant trying to this karen won't stop telling me to have 62 pills a day
Starting point is 00:24:41 karen is trying to feed me a pill pill karen's trying to optimize my blood flow literally though that's like actually another funny concept is brian trying to feed someone a pill and being like no no you don't get it it doesn't do anything it does nothing what are you trying to make me say no don't worry it doesn't do anything okay i feel like if he's letting town because talmadge is such a bedrock of brian's it's such a bedrock that he's like a rock who never leaves his bed because he's too depressed talmadge is truly such he's so fundamental to brian's project here publicly speaking because he he is kind of the basis by which brian bases all of his progress and and competition as we've he really kind of scornfully really is living vicariously through talmadge you're trying to
Starting point is 00:25:40 yeah and trying to exceed talmadge he'll say all the time like my biomarkers are better than my 18 year old son you think she's going to college with talmadge do you think it's like oh my god oh my god like a goofy movie type scenario freaky friday wait extremely goofy movie that's the one you have i just i feel like i feel like they wouldn't allow Talmadge to... Oh my god. Look who's back. Jump scare. John Gautier rejoined the call. He looks so mad.
Starting point is 00:26:18 John, we're talking about Talmadge. Do you have a mic and or headset? I can see you're hearing me now because... oh, he left. What did he leave? Poor Jacques. Poor Jacques. His microphone isn't working and it's the worst day of his life.
Starting point is 00:26:37 It's our fault. It's just his microphone has been breaking and then he got a new one and it continues to break. And it's like, dude, we have to record the podcast at some point you know yeah i'm sorry we love jock but i love i mean yeah we will we will try john without him he'll be back um yes if he i mean i offered to buy him a mic we'll figure it out um yeah talmadge at college is gonna be please call us back and let us know if there are any updates um can you imagine brian visiting on like a parent's day oh my god could you imagine i would i would kill myself if brian was my mom and came to visit me yeah yeah wait let's do the next call this one's too long this one's too long yeah it. We can help this person, though. You don't want to help this person?
Starting point is 00:27:26 No. What about this one? Hey, I told him to keep it under a minute, you know. Let's do this. Okay, this is a good one. Hi, my name is Maddie. I'm a new Canadian listener. I just wanted to leave a quick comment because I've been listening to the episodes in reverse.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And I just wanted to comment on that and how I find it really funny that the only plot points to carry along have to do with Jacques' physical health. For example, when we find out Jacques has crabs, but then you listen to them in reverse order and y'all are panicking like well y'all are panicking it's mostly just Jacques panicking about what he might have so entertaining love you guys for all the new listeners just listen in reverse order it kind of makes it better okay bye thank you
Starting point is 00:28:19 thank you Maddie that's so true I didn't even think about that no those are the three lines is that Jacques physical ailments Thank you, Maddie. That's so true. I didn't even think about that. It's so funny. No, those are the three lines. Those are Jacques' physical ailments. Crabs. The things that keep us grounded. The pooping blood.
Starting point is 00:28:35 In and out. The scab saga. There's the crab saga, the scab saga. There's so many great arcs. It's like one piece. And now we've got the Mike debacle. Yeah, the Mike debacle. Next episode, he'll say something about how we forced him to leave and record it without him.
Starting point is 00:29:03 And then people will hear this call where his Mike exploded 17 times in his hand. And then they'll realize it actually was not us being sinister. I think that's a good way to listen. He's so mad about the mic. He's so mad that we're still recording. What are we supposed to do? Right? We can't just not, you know. We have to keep recording.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I texted him and I said, if you can rejoin with a working mic and headphones then please come back we'd love to have them back but i like i've got a baby sleeping in the room next to me i've got uh appointments i need to go to okay you're a new father now this this you're a new father yes you're a new father and you have to take care of your baby you have to take care of your son I want to be a father my son I want to interview my dad

Starting point is 00:31:43 we can't really tell you what it's about but um an integral part is you pushing a giant stone wheel yeah you pushing a big giant stone wheel every yeah yeah but we can't share it's we can't we've got some big names attached we just don't want anyone figuring out what the wheels are yeah look i don't want to i don't want to get anyone too hyped, but Timothee Chalamet might be in a role. I'm supposed to stop. Don't tell them. I know, I know. I'm not supposed to say anything, but...
Starting point is 00:32:10 You have to keep Timothee Chalamet in the wheel. You have to keep him in the wheel. He's pushing this wheel. It's a wheel that's like on a pole. And Timothee didn't want to do it, so it sounds like you're a twink. We could just really easily put his head on your body. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:28 But you won't be paid. You're going to be doing most of the... You're doing most of the pushing. The pushing. Because Timothy is not very strong. He said no. Well, he can't put on any muscle mass. He also said no.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Also, that's a huge part of it is that he said no. He didn't want to be involved at all in any capacity. If he puts on any muscle mass, he is going to be replaced. It's another one. But we love you too. But yeah, we don't really... I mean, if you want to send your skill set, I will
Starting point is 00:32:59 maybe think of an interposition for you, but no, sorry. Oh, this is a good one. Oh, let's go. Oh, this would be a good one for Jacques, but unfortunately... Oh, I can answer as Jacques. He died, okay, cool. Do you want me to answer as Jacques? Yes, everybody. I just wanted to know,

Starting point is 00:33:45 You do it. You do it. You do it. You do it. My mommy will be mad. Well, what I like to do is I take a cauldron. If I got a date coming over, I take a cauldron and I toss in a bunch of different doodads and knickknacks and kind of bake and boil it all up.
Starting point is 00:34:02 You have a doodoo knickknack kind of stew yes i make a knickknack stew knickknack stew for a date night i see oh my god um i i make a really good anchovy pasta not to steal valor from from your italian heritage but i very, I make a delicious anchovy pasta. In Des Moines, I've been making a lot of shawarma, if anyone remembers my meltdown, because I couldn't find any sumac. I did find some sumac.
Starting point is 00:34:33 So we're cooking. We're making some good meals here. I would do anchovy pasta, I guess. Although it's too smelly. It's a little too smelly for romantic uh night you don't really know no if you well i'm do you remember i made anchovy pasta and it was under what did i burn the garlic or something i messed it up i didn't make enough sauce i do remember it was still good it was still good it was still good i mean you know you you melt on the anchovies and they become more nutty than fishy but it's still kind of
Starting point is 00:35:10 oh my god i was at this oh i was at this um this wedding recently and there was a woman visiting from iceland who is uh half sisters with these pair of sisters I'm very, very close with. And so I was hanging out with this girl from Iceland for like a week. And she was so fucking funny. She taught me how to say, how to call,
Starting point is 00:35:39 she taught me how to call someone a faggot in Icelandic. What is it? How do you do it? Arte faggy. Arte faggot in icelandic and what is it how do you do it and i kept repeating that to her at the wedding and she was like yeah that's how you say it but she also had zero reservations about saying faggot i was like i was like oh how do you say faggot she's like so she was like so imagine you're saying faggot but you have no o or t and i was like okay if you're talking to you when you when you're making eye contact with you i guess it's a certain it unlocks a certain part of your brain it unlocks your brain i did i casted a blue eye spell on her to make her homophobic looking at your face it unlocks the mind yeah it turns
Starting point is 00:36:30 everyone into Bill O'Reilly into Nancy Reagan it turns everyone into Nancy Reagan because they also become the throat coat I forgot about that yeah romantic night in I don't know i would do no i would do very little carbs is the thing everyone always like isn't it insane to me maybe maybe isn't it insane to you it's insane to me that for um romantic you know classically romantic foods um for americans they're like lobster alfredo pasta okay alfredo

Oysters, shrimp, raw, preferably. Oysters are a classically lesbian dish. Lesbians don't eat that shit anymore. Are you kidding? Lesbians are eating bacon mac. No.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Sorry. We gotta have a lesbian on for the gayness episode. Yeah, I guess it's mostly because I'm in Iowa, and the lesbians here, there are more lesbians than women. Lesbians in Iowa, it's rough because i'm i'm in iowa and the lesbians here there are more lesbians in iowa it's it's a rough it's rough out there well no they love it they love it which makes sense i mean it's like random encounter but like the lesbians in iowa it's like random encounters in a final fantasy game where you're in the overworld and like no that's what it's like to be gay here lesbians here are like are like they abound

Starting point is 00:43:14 well if you want to take that oh yeah quick short question how often should you be washing your hair um i know that there's's advice that hairdressers give, but I honestly feel like this is an intuitive question that everyone needs to answer themselves. Particularly, I'm really interested in what Jacques has to say. I love
Starting point is 00:43:38 the podcast. Keep being fierce, mama. Well, I'm so sorry. Jacques, what do you have to say about this? Well, I think you should never wash your hair. If you think you can wash your hair,
Starting point is 00:43:54 then you need to shut up. Kill yourself. Don't say that. Don't say that to our listeners. No, I wash my hair every two days every two or three days yeah I do I mean
Starting point is 00:44:14 I don't I'll put water in my hair I don't shampoo I never shampoo yeah you never shampoo never shampoo so you can probably get away with that what do you mean well when it's longer you gotta you gotta walk that shit you know oh i thought you said i was really short i think you meant i'm short so i oh no your hair is short
Starting point is 00:44:36 yeah you're short so you can't you you could probably get away with that no even when i have if you're tall like me if you're tall like me then well no one can smell it because you're too high up yeah because i'm too high up so no one can smell how horrible my hair is yeah yeah no one can smell if you're short you're kind of right at nose level with everyone but if you're as tall as you are people yeah yeah i'm a nose height so i've got to keep i've got to keep my my hygiene under control yeah your nose height yes exactly no i don't do it exactly that's what my doctor told me your nose height doctor was like i'm so sorry but you we did we ran the tests your nose height yeah it's terminal yeah um i i don't well shampoo it makes my hair like all dry and fucked up i'm sure if i had a better routine that i did every day then i could do

He's usually yelling at us. He got mad at me for calling some neighborhood in New Orleans Grouchland.
Starting point is 00:47:15 He was like, shut up. It's not Grouchland. Oh my god. What were you trying to talk about? It was on an episode. It was on the Gaylist episode. One of the first ones.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Oh. Oh, we were talking about Metairie. I think you called it Metairie. Where Ellen is from. Yeah. Let's play this call. That's where Ellen's from. It must be a magical place if Ellen's from there.
Starting point is 00:47:36 You know, it sucks so much. It's so evil. I hate Metairie. It's really bad. Is it bad? How is it bad? Is it like... It's just like weird energy void
Starting point is 00:47:46 suburb. Just zero vibes. Which is hard for a place like New Orleans. Yeah, in New Orleans. That's crazy. Alright, let's play this one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Hello. I had a quick question. If a trans mask and a trans femme are in a relationship together, is it straight or is it gay? Cause like mine feels pretty gay. Thanks. You're welcome. Um,
Starting point is 00:48:19 I think it's the straightest. I think it's the straightest possible thing. It is kind of, it is kind of the straightest thing. It's so straight. It's so straightest possible thing. It is kind of the straightest thing you could possibly do. It's so straight. It's so straight. But it's also so gay. It's the ultimate relationship.
Starting point is 00:48:33 It really checks all the boxes. It's whatever you want it to be. It can be straight. It can be gay. It can be bi. It can be whatever. Wait, how could it be bi? It can be bi it can be whatever wait how could it be bi it can be bi because if you bi your damn
Starting point is 00:48:50 girlfriend a beautiful dinner you know what I mean if you bi into the idea you're both straight if you bi into the idea of gender ideology you're both bi and into idea that you're both trans. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:49:13 People being like, I'm bisexual. I'm buying into the idea I'm a woman. I'm buying into the idea. Yeah, I'm bi. I'm buying into the idea that I'm a woman. buying into the idea. Yeah, I'm buying into the idea that I'm a woman. You want that shirt, Hesley? I'll put that on a shirt for you.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Yes, that would be wonderful. Yeah, I think that's categorically straight. I mean, you guys won. It took long enough. You finally figured out how to be straight in the gayest way possible good job so you took the most roundabout path but you're
Starting point is 00:49:52 finally straight so your parents are thrilled you could have just been one of their imagine being the parent of like a trans daughter or trans son and it's like they started out gay then they transitioned and now they transitioned into a sex where they're just dating the opposite sex but they're trans it's like i would just i would just be like oh my god you put us through all of this to just to just date women dad dad i have a new dad i have a girlfriend and she's a hole in a wall i told everyone you were gay i'm so sick of this shit i thought you were fucking guys everyone at church thinks you're gay now i gotta tell them you're gay. Now I gotta tell him you're straight. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I'm gonna be the fucking laughingstock of the church all over again. It's happened five times. Fuck. Punching a hole in the wall. Yeah. Flipping over the dinner table. I'm finally dating women again that sucks for those parents it's so funny
Starting point is 00:51:12 let's do one more and then we can maybe have a conference call with Jrock to see if he's still alive he sent us 40 texts oh my god what are we supposed to do we truly what are we supposed to do like it was 15 minutes late 15 minutes late and then his mic
Starting point is 00:51:32 breaks four times it's clearly what it clearly wasn't going to work it's the thing it's completely not gonna work okay well let's just let's just... We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. Hi, Ben, Jack, and Hessa. Hi, Dylan. I'm 4ODillon. It's not a fuck on Patreon. I've been a patron for a while. Don't have a... Why are you saying fuck like that?
Starting point is 00:51:58 I thought he said he was jacked at work. Hang on. I thought that because of the transcription, I thought this was a question about him jacking off. Which is why I put this. Oh, as well. I've been Oh, hi Ben
Starting point is 00:52:14 Jock and Hessa. Which transcript I've been jacking has said my name is doing. I've been jacking. Alright, let's do a real question. Well, let's continue it. I really appreciate you guys.
Starting point is 00:52:32 You are very funny and very insightful. And have a good rest of the fucking year or whatever. Bye-bye. Thanks, Dylan. Thank you, Dylan. We appreciate that. We're going to have an amazing rest of the day handling our beautiful co-host, Jock.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah. We're going to really have to talk about that. Hi, Ben, shock, and Hessa. Yeah, hi, Ben, shock. He's literally, his mood will literally reset in an hour and he'll be fine. I know. Let's just ignore him.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Let's just ignore him for the rest of the day and tomorrow he'll be like, hey, y'all, you're my best friends i love you guys all right let's play this one right oh no let's save this one let's save this one let's do another one okay okay let's get an actual question that's a really funny question though that's a straight person question oh my god okay that's a long one yeah let's do this okay hi this is nomi first time long time so i am a trans woman that likes to date other trans women you know that classic situation but the issue is all the trans girls in my town are all poly and or insane and i'm just wondering like how do i find my queen i'm not trying to be part of a weird polycule
Starting point is 00:53:53 thank you for the advice guys yeah this is a classic problem of the trans community which is like are you guys all in polycules like that? All of them are. There's so many poly. There's so many, like, you know, it's hard to find. See, why can't you guys just do what gay guys do and just fuck each other and not have it be a polycule? I mean, gay guys start to do that. I'm like, we all need to stop.
Starting point is 00:54:18 That's the thing. Yeah, just fuck each other. Why does it have to be this... No, but, like, it depends on it depends on like i mean no one that i know calls it a polycule actually oh but they all function as such in one yeah basically yeah well see that's fine yeah i mean i i think if you're looking for a serious thing though if you're looking for a long-term kind of moment it can be frustrating maybe start dating a trans mask guys like the other color come straight actually no for real that's what
Starting point is 00:54:51 you should do like date a trans mask guy i know some really hot ones i know nomi i'll hook you up nomi hit us up has to send you my number i think she's still convinced he doesn't really pass that well but he's super sweet he doesn't pass at all he doesn't pass at all misgendering I mean sorry he can be a huge queen he is completely you can tell with the mustache his face you can tell with all the
Starting point is 00:55:33 BPD he's still got a female brain yeah you can tell the mustache his face he is completely girl brain completely girl brain completely girl completely girl brain hopeless no that that really sucks yeah it's a relatable i mean i would say i would say this is i would say this is a um a predicament of age i would say say. I think, Nomi, once you turn 30-something, you're going to
Starting point is 00:56:06 find out that a lot of people are dissatisfied with their gluttonous polycule ways, and we'll start pairing off. That's what I think will happen. That's where they convert to Islam. That's where they start to convert to Islam.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Exactly. The dolls are converting.'s gonna that's i mean that's happening already but that's gonna be the moment in all seriousness i would say just you know wait it out and um maybe have a few select picks for for you know where you want to go after the polycules um kind of naturally dissolve i mean i don't think i don't think anyone knows um polycules that last for you know over a year for a reason no i mean they all end up kind of hating each other yeah in my experience shifts around in them you know everything always everyone always it's always yeah someone's still in a polycule after a year but it's like not the same people so no me what i would say to do is um just make your presence generally known in this sea of polycules don't fuck any of them. Don't bang any of them. But just, you know, put yourself out there in a sexy way.
Starting point is 00:57:27 That's a good idea. Be pious. And then once they all start to crumble. Be religious. Yes. Really proselytize them. Yes, proselytize them. Ask them if they've heard of the Lord and Savior at all the parties.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Look down on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But in like a pitiful way not like an angry way in a way that like is you think less of them as people yeah or that or that you could save them from their ways you know kind of the way actually but there should be a little glint in your eye that says no one can see disgust oh yeah not even god yeah yeah yeah and so then i mean you do that for five years so it's gonna it's a five-year plan you're gonna have to you're gonna have to do that you're gonna
Starting point is 00:58:11 you're gonna have to hold that posture about five years but when all of them break up who's coming to nomi's open arms to have a normal relationship. Look who's come crawling back ready to be normal. Two trans women, one trans woman wearing a hijab. Look who's ready to be normal. Look who's ready to be normal now.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Well, well, well, well, if it isn't Mrs. Normal. Trans woman on a job being right. well well well well if it isn't mrs normal open arms look who's ready to be normal some doll crawling out of bergheim kate out of her fucking mind literally crawling because she can't even walk because literally yeah crawling right into your arms no me i think that's some of the best advice we've ever given i'll be yeah absolutely absolutely that's really good advice the way we tore five years of going to parties like a nun just shutting everyone literally just looking down on everyone whapping the chaos people's hands with a ruler
Starting point is 00:59:29 arms folded literally in the corner at all times going into the rooms where they're doing like drugs every time but not doing any drugs just watching them and disapprovingly throwing down a prayer rug. Yes, yeah. Should we do one more?
Starting point is 00:59:52 Yeah, I think we can do one more. I can keep going. We can go until we're done. Let's just do that. Let's see. What's this one? What's this one? Yeah, let's do this one. Hey guys, this is Joe
Starting point is 01:00:06 calling in from Vegas. Big fan. I'm actually reading a book right now about the whole Peter Thiel gawker situation. I know he's a subject of fascination for you guys. And my question was, if you could pick any
Starting point is 01:00:22 journalistic outlet of your own to destroy, if you were to say unlimited resources and be kind of fucking insane what would you choose? This is a really good one. This is an amazing one. The Seeking Derechms podcast.
Starting point is 01:00:38 No, no. I would leave and I would sue you. It would completely financially annihilate us. I would leave and then I would sue John. You would leave and destroy me and John. It would. Completely financially annihilate us. The thing is, it's so funny to imagine having limitless resources to do this because it would take about $5,000 to destroy us as a bunch.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Yes, literally less than that. It would take like $200. Can you imagine if we had to hire a lawyer to represent us in court we would literally hire David Jock would refuse to hire David Porcellini because he got a deal on crab daddy
Starting point is 01:01:16 Thompson crab daddy Joe my lawyer's a crab y'all hang on I got the world famous i got the law gator a famous alligator who gets every court case he does oh my god no we could get juan lafanta the um very famous uh new orleans um lawyer who i love him big frida big frida did all of his ads
Starting point is 01:01:46 one lafonta one lafonta it's they're really really good ads um so buffalo has famous buffalo has two really famous lawyers two of the most famous lawyers ever i don't think des moines does there's no june salino and Barnes in Buffalo. Oh. Yeah, no Jews or Italians. What publication would I want to... Maybe Quillette. I mean, of course, the New York Times, but that's an amazing one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:15 The failing New York Times, absolutely. The failing New York Times is amazing. Also, that's the thing, is that if you have limitless resources, that's crazy. I guess you can go after whoever. You gotta go as big. Go for the white whale.
Starting point is 01:02:25 You know, you gotta go for the times. Okay, so then the times. Yeah. I think, well, I would go for,
Starting point is 01:02:33 hmm, yeah, I think, or the Guardian. I would take down the Guardian. Oh, yeah. Wait,
Starting point is 01:02:40 no, because who's gonna publish Adrian Childs' I think the Guardian still does some, you know, cool stuff. Who going to publish Adrian Childs? I think The Guardian still does some, you know, cool stuff. Who's going to publish Adrian Childs doing things like, I was tickled as an adult. I don't know who that guy is.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Is he one of these crank article writers? These scribblers? Yeah, no, he's literally the greatest article writer ever. All of his headlines are so famously insane and incredible they're always like um like i hang on let me look up adrian child well i know i know people say that the daily beast um does is responsible for some good reporting i completely tuned out of caring about reporting or journalism quite a while ago to be honest um but they were the um paper that published the article that got me fired so i would love to
Starting point is 01:03:35 just get one back over on the daily beast yes yes yes yes um oh my god this guy looks evil he wrote an article about um russell brand oh my god yes wait he said evil. Adrian Giles is... He wrote an article about Russell Brand. Oh my god, yes. Wait, he said, Every autumn I am shunned by friends and neighbors, but I think I've finally broken the curse. Adrian Giles, that's his newest... Year after year, I struggle to give away
Starting point is 01:03:57 an enormous crop of scarred, worm-eaten apples while everyone's... Okay, no, I'm sorry. I totally agree with him. I totally agree with him here. The picture of him is so beautiful i british bulldog um i a friend of our our podcast the trash future podcast i think interviewed him hassa i have been i'm not even kidding i have actually been struggling to give away um apples from a farm really only that you have just like that do have bites from worms in them sorry that's what happens when you don't put pesticides on your apples

Starting point is 01:08:00 find you and touch your penis and balls or something. Bad, bad. No, no, no. I got in trouble for that one. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm functionally suspended from my big Twitter account. Why?
Starting point is 01:08:16 Oh, yeah. I don't remember. I don't remember my email or password. So funny. Because that was my ninth Twitter. Because forever, i was just constantly getting banned and i was making up emails all the time just to get back into twitter and so you're in one of them i have my old one i'm on the account that was that i got reactivated because when musk took over he allowed you to get back old band accounts if you could say that they were um
Starting point is 01:08:47 banned political persecution yeah yeah um well i didn't well i guess like maybe i don't know it depends it depends on how your scope of what right wing is um i just said i was banned for personal um uh political beliefs. Beliefs, and those beliefs were bullying Mitski off Twitter. Yes. I forgot about Mitski. One of my favorite things. One of your proudest moments.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Yeah. Should I find the article? Should I read the article about that? I don't think I've ever read it on this show before. It's pretty funny. It's from a, this was in, and for the record,
Starting point is 01:09:32 I think Mitski's like first album, second album are like totally fine and like acceptable and not even worth. They're great. I really like them. Worth mocking. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:41 I loved Mitski, but who I hated. And I mean, she, I mean, she's taking the shtick a little too far um in my opinion but she's taking this a little too far she's taking this a little too we've heard it we've heard the music we've truly heard enough um i'm trying to find the articles in nylon my at at the time was poopy girl so i have to search nylon at poop at poopy girl so funny well it was an alt of mine that i was using um and this was like the height of mitski's um like first run of like you know being super super popular um and i just i couldn't put up
Starting point is 01:10:30 with the attitude that everyone had about criticizing her because there are a few people who were just like oh i don't really like her music and people were just like how dare you she's speaking from the heart she's's being vulnerable. She's being earnest. She's being honest. Blah, blah, blah. She's a woman. And granted, this was 2016. So it was at the... It's just when
Starting point is 01:10:55 the first churning of what now would be called anti-woke but at the time was just hating libs. It used to just be making fun of liberals. And then it became... what now would be called anti-woke but at the time was just like hating libs you know yeah it used to just be like making fun of liberals and then it became and then it became this huge like anti-woke thing yeah that is now no longer funny but at the beginning it was very fun because it
Starting point is 01:11:17 was it was like politically cohesive and very funny because it was just making fun of liberals. What was that? Oh, the call. I leaned on the phone. Jock got back in here. I really thought Jock was back in the phone. I was like, oh, oh, God. That's literally exactly what he sounded like. But at this time, it was
Starting point is 01:11:39 all of these... Y'all talking about me again. But at the time, i was making fun of i knew it um but everyone was just saying like you basically the line was the line was you cannot criticize mitski because she yeah the party vulnerable in her art and in into into criticize vulnerability is like uh just absolutely absolute cruelty so you bullied her and so i bullied her off twitter for that i mean so what happened was i i made a meme it was the epic some listeners might not know the the tale the story i think i i i've retold this story like two years ago on the
Starting point is 01:12:26 podcast so it's fine to retell now because we've got yeah yeah new listeners in here um but and we're also at like 115 so who cares yeah um this can be the ending this can be the close there okay so here we go um this is i guess i won't say what the meme I made was. We'll just get to it. But Grimes defended Mitski against haters. Let's be honest. It was haters. Wait, what was the meme? You have to describe the meme.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Should I describe the meme first? Okay, so the meme was the epic handshake meme, which, again, at the time, was a pretty new meme. Yeah. It was a cutting edge meme. This is literally what I'm going gonna be talking about in a retirement home the cia had just invented the epicantic the cia had just introduced it to the world and so it was it was uh on one side it was Mitski and on the other side it was Rupi Kaur the poem
Starting point is 01:13:26 the poet the poetess of Rupi Kaur the MC the MCs and the secret MC suck of the week the MC suck of the week Rupi Kaur Rupi Kaur
Starting point is 01:13:38 the famous MC Rupi Kaur MC Rupi Kaur the famous MC one of the great MCs of all time and so on one side it was her and the other side was mitski and then the handshake was um uh this this it's so wordy and stupid and honestly kind of embarrassing to say now because it again is so 2016 but it said disguising meteor meteorocity with a premeditated earnest aesthetic um which is just which is just like yeah like you know you're writing like mediocre music but it's so long as you have the like um insurance policy of being a whiny um sensitive lady you know one can critique you well i love
Starting point is 01:14:28 mitski but that's that is it's 1000 true it's 1000 true literally nuked when when disagreeable memes targeting mitski began to surface on the internet, fans of all levels of notoriety, Grimes included, came to the singer's defense. Over the weekend, Twitter user at poopy underscore girl underscore. Poopy girl. Poopy girl is so funny. Thought they were being contrarian and shared a self-made misspelled meme. I love that they're dunking on me for having a self-made meme. Bad spelling, how dare you.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Also, I did, I did, I used to and still do struggle spelling aesthetic correctly. Shared a self-made misspelled meme that claimed that Mitski and Rupi Kaur were disguising me to rockery, blah, blah, blah. meme that claimed that Mitski and Rupi Kaur were disguising me to rockery blah blah blah fans were immediately ready to take up arms for Mitski I was I had people I had people tell me tell me that they were
Starting point is 01:15:36 going to swap me I got so many DMs that were just like I'm gonna kill you like you're a piece of shit poopy girl you will not know what days rest in your life and my Avi was my Avi was a picture you like you're a piece of shit poopy girl you will not know what day we're going to kill you and my avi was my avi was a picture of lucinda williams with a black eye and people people were like of course this of course this old white bitch is getting beat up by her husband lucinda williams i'm sure you hated that because you're the biggest lucinda stan in the world
Starting point is 01:16:06 i remember in the comments in the thread because i kept going in the thread i remember taking oh i can't i doubled i tripled quadrupled down on this i was taking um screenshots of rupee car poems and posting them right next to mitski lyrics and being like, and I removed the title and I was like, oh, can you guys tell me who wrote which one wrote which one? Famous MC Rupi Kaur or Mitski. And then of course, someone said, just say you hate
Starting point is 01:16:38 Asian women and go. And I quote tweeted that and said, oh, okay, I hate Asian women. I was, of course joking okay i do love asian women for the recordj was retweeting these at the time but it was boosted by a very famous dj who also hated mitski with me i really want to know david no no no no think think more black and trans and bushwick at the time okay okay you know who i'm talking about i do i do i do and queen um oh yeah she's a queen for that she was she was ride or die for me for from very early on but this got so much attention and went huge
Starting point is 01:17:41 because i quadrupled down on it and you know a lot a lot of people it was an opinion a lot of people wanted to say because a lot of people have been fed up with this kind of mandatory mitski love man yeah um and so it eventually got like huge it was like trending and um grimes said grimes quote tweeted it and said as taylor swift would say as taylor swift would say people throw rocks at things that shine which is like shut up grimes another person that sucks like another person whose music is mad for real i made one good album and then oblivion is a great uh is great but um yeah it's fun i'm sick of it um yeah it's a little not that good we can stop talking about it we can stop talking about how good it is it's it's just like it reminds me of like um heartbeats by the knife
Starting point is 01:18:40 it's like one song that was just like really really good at the time but yeah we all know it anyways basically it became so big and so many um twee people i started i started calling um mitski fans small beans which was again very funny at the time i was just like y'all the small beans are trying to kill me identify us yeah they literally um identify small beans it got so bad and so vitriolic towards me that um minsky minsky minsky's response to the hate was as wholesome and lovely as she is even there you can tell in this time capsule how doting everyone was on mitski it's like she could have done anything and it would have been like empathetic queen the woman the woman who proves i just took a shit the woman who proves that artists feel more than the rest of us um here um mitski's response to the hate was as wholesome
Starting point is 01:19:47 and lovely as she is stating as with all art i'd love if you got something out of mind but if you didn't that's okay it's not for you i'm grateful for this job either way i'll keep working to earn the lucky position i'm in and I don't take it for granted. What a contractual. It's like, did a lawyer tell you to write that? That is such a like, you know, make sure you cover all your bases. Like, really? She is not that earnest.
Starting point is 01:20:16 This is so this is like contractual language. But yeah, that's that's about it. She did then. You didn't know the topology for you. Mitski requested that her defenders not say hateful things to people on the internet. Me. Telling me to kill myself. On behalf of her, even though the overwhelming response was flattering.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Grimes replied once again saying what we're what we were all thinking but we need to troll for somebody um and then mitski uh went dark on twitter and uh just just rejoined recently actually so oh period it may be it may be time folks poopy girl bad signal it may be time for a poopy girl to react putting a lucinda williams black guy picture in this light over new york city calling poopy girl's time has come again oh what a fun time it was you can't really have fun like that anymore on twitter you can't have fun like that you really really can't. You can't do it anymore, folks. Folks, they won't do it. But yeah, how did I even start
Starting point is 01:21:27 talking? Oh, that's, anyways, that's the account that I got reinstated due to the hate crimes I just described. So Poopy Girl's back and Mitski's back. Poopy Girl's been back, yeah, my new account. I think I changed the app from Poopy Girl.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Is it As Someone Who Now? Oh, yeah. It's As Someone Who. Yeah. Wait, no. Never mind. I'm totally confused. That was my main account.
Starting point is 01:21:54 That's the one that got reinstated. As Someone Who was reinstated. And that was my main account at the time. And Poopy Girl was my alt. So Poopy Girl, I could... I should see if I can get poopy girl back that'd be fucking iconic girl back at mitski i'm coming for you i'm back the poopy comes back bitch i'll see you in the octagon i think she's totally fine i think her kind of
Starting point is 01:22:21 her whole shtick has been uh taken over by feed bridgers for the most part she was lacking miski was lacking for too long yeah crazy it seems like maybe she felt like she had some overexposure yeah and then too many people are listening to her music too many people are listening to my music it's causing too much drama online ugh whatever I don't believe in karma good thing I don't believe in karma good thing I don't believe in karma y'all
Starting point is 01:22:54 alright well let's leave it there we've got some other business to attend to although I I mean guys if you could if someone if someone out there wants to kindly wants to help us out and just kindly tell jock that we didn't bully him yeah we have literally 50 unread messages in the group chat i'm shocked my god stop recording is it really at 50 yeah should we should we do a dramatic reading of them for the podcast
