This is a headgum original. Jake and a mere two Jews that you can't forget. In 2010, they were big on the internet, but then three failed pilots, two rejected movie scripts. Won't last it's effort to try and stop their career from going to shit. Another podcast Each app different from the last

It's the Swiss army nightbook shows Now let's meet you two pathetic hosts Do you see this? Do you see this issue that I'm having? Oh yeah, so for those of you who are just listening right now Jake is showing me his right hand and on the sort of second knuckle of his index finger and ring finger are band-aids. Yeah, and look at that middle finger where there's no band-aid.

And the middle finger has a thin little scab, like almost like he scraped his hand on something. Yeah, you can see the wound. Right, yeah. I have an injury. Okay. An injury report. Is it an injury or was it like an accident? Well, can't they be one in the same?

Why are they different? Because an injury is sort of like a nagging issue that you have to deal with. And this is sort of looks like. Well, this might be a nagging issue now. It looks like you either fell off your bike or scraped your hand while rock climbing or something. Those are good guesses, but it was actually an injury at the job, on the job. This is a workplace injury. Technically, my house where I was doing some home renovation, a small project.

You were doing home renovation. You can't even change a light pole. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's what caused that. Why don't you watch your tongue? Okay. Because actually, I fixed the house and then I got this injury by punching a guy in the jaw who said I didn't know how to DIY.

What was the injury? Well, if you must know, I have a stubborn little hinge pin that keeps on foot. falling out of my bathroom door. Have you ever dealt with a hinge issue? No. Okay. Well, let me take you to school. You know that doors are held up in the jam by a series of hinges, usually between two and three,

depending on your door height and thickness. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, these hinges are screwed. into the door and the jam.

They open and close, and there's a little pin that goes between all of them. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Almito has these little magnets that she puts on the pins.

Like, there's a little gumball at the top of this one. Well, there you go. Now, you might be able to see on your little hinge that they have tiny little caps, perhaps, as long as you've gotten your hinge from one of the big suppliers

like an M-Tech or a signature hardware. And my bathroom door the little cap is kind of missing it's not there okay so the pin every once in a while will fall out it doesn't fall out all the time because the pin itself is covered in goo goo yeah it's this like sticky goo i think to keep it in place plus the cap but over time the cap has fallen and then the goo doesn't hold it glue goo or glue i don't know i think it's goo because if it were glue it would have dried. Is goo named after glue or vice versa?

Is glue like, is it like Kleenex and tissue? Is it all goo and one person calls it glue? I would. And glue is any adhesive. Or is, or will you get, will they sue if you say glue? Uh, no. You're on Elmer's. Crazy is the brand.

Glue is just the thing. Maybe is crazy glue from Elmer's? Because they might have a monopoly. You don't know that. And Superglue also might be from Elmer's. I think they did their own thing and then they were swiped up. They were purchased by Elmers. A conglomerate.

Yes. So anyway, this goo covered pin or rod will make its way down through all of the brackets and the hinge and fall off. Thus, meaning I don't have a rod that's connecting the hinge onto the door and wall. Okay. Which is fine. It's only the bottom. hinge only recently somebody opened the bathroom door when the hinge pin had fallen out which I usually just put back in I shove the glue based rod back into the hinge area

glue or goo I'm not sure I obviously don't know anything look at my fingers yeah they're cut they're sliced and it turns out that we don't have any pin in the middle hinge either because somebody opened the door and pulled it almost full off the frame it was held in place only by the top hinge which is dangerous too much weight for one hinge that's a nine foot door yeah and it's solid core yeah and you don't want that falling on a dog or a child uh-huh so i ordered a new hinge set so i was going to replace the pin wow um and i watched a youtube video it seemed fine it seemed easy i started kind of um it came in the mail and i started working on it yesterday i was trying to hammer it, hammered this pin into the hinge system, like the guy on the YouTube video.

But I couldn't really get a good angle on it because it's right up there against the door. So then I started just using the underside of the hammer to press it up really firmly. You went rogue. I went rogue. Rather than like sit down and figure out if I could like just protect the site of where I was doing the work, if I could, like, put some cardboard up so I could actually hammer it. If I could get a seat and get a better angle, I just said, maybe I just use this tool, not how it's meant, not the peen of the hammer, but instead I'll just use the bottom, the grip. Yeah.

And I'll slide up the pin into the, I'll slide up the rod. Well, the rubber just met the road. Yeah. Yeah, it peeled off the hammer because it's not that sturdy, I guess. but it bit off and my hand just like slammed up against it like shot straight up right against the hinge and all the pins and you got cut I looked at my hand I thought it was covered in glue and then I realized it was the glue or goo yeah I thought it was and it was it was all of the skin on each of my fingers that it just like crumpled up basically been like peeled back

Like cheese. Yeah. Yeah. And it was so thick and deep. And it was just open flaps on each finger. Oh, you graded yourself. I graded myself. And you degraded yourself.

Yeah. And I didn't fix the door. So Jill asked how it went. You said, not good. I didn't fix it. Now I'm hurt. She was right there. I walked over to the sink and I just showed her my hand like shaking.

It was like this. This sucks. Was it hot? So, like, you're also sweating and frustrated, or was it not really that situation? No, yeah, it was like yesterday. It was, like, 90 degrees outside. It had been, like, a long day at work. We're just settling in.

I'm like, oh, you know what? I want to, like, take a shower. I want to decompress, but I didn't get to this hinge thing. I have a busy day. I'm like, I was waking up at 6 a.m. the next day. And it was like, you know what? I'm just going to try to knock this out. Yeah.

So I don't have to think about it anymore. Took the guy on YouTube a minute, minute and a half. So what could it take me? three four max to hurt myself and quit i it hurt so much and there was so much blood that i was like there's no way i can complete like i have no dexterity left there's no way i can complete this project yeah you were like stiff and shaking you had to be completely it hurt it hurt even putting all of the tools away which i had to do shamefully there's no feeling uh like being bandage up blood soaking through your bag of

And as you, like, put your pliers and your Allen wrench back into your toolbox. I'll get a, uh, when my hand works, I'll hire a task grab it. I need a hand e man. Actually, I have a similar issue with my front gate. It's like coming off the wood. It's not a hinge issue, but like the wood itself is getting soft and warped. So it's a post issue. Yeah.

So that seems even harder. There are a lot of these like little jobs that are like, It's not big enough to hire, like, a company or something. Right. You just, but you just need a guy, but they're, we're gal. We need to be good. We need to be real handy men and we're not. So, like, we have to sort of bite the bullet and hire one online.

Yeah. And then you just have to do all of the unseen work of searching for them, calling for them, waiting for them, checking in on them, asking when they're going to come, asking why they're late, asking if they have all the parts they need. You become their assistant. My wife in the background, why is she there? I heard giggling. Can you put her on?

Are you tickling her? At least tell me how you do it. How did you make her laugh? Because I haven't heard that noise. Quite some time. You might be able to fix a post on my gate, but can you make my wife come? You can. All right.

I was going to ask that. You answered it so fast. You knew it was. coming and you knew she was coming and how to do how did you make it both happen is your gate is it loose in the ground or is that the wood itself is rotted no the wood itself is uh uh taught and sturdy it's just sort of like rotated into the ground so i have lifted up every time i close it interesting so you could probably get that out do some you need a compactor I can come over I can I can come by you're already hurt you're already hurting yourself

I have to like take the whole thing off and reach and change the wood that's like pressed up against the concrete post and then send me a picture I have an idea It's your idea to hurt yourself It's to injure my hand also and then yeah this the middle bandit actually just fell off look at the size of this coyote that walked by earlier Wow just a coyote walked right in front of my house They're allowed to do that they are because this guy this particular coyote tried to fix my gate. And he couldn't do it, but he did make Avital laugh. He did make her laugh and he ate one of the dogs, quite frankly.

That was what made her laugh. Yeah. She was giggling all the way to school. All right, this is segments, a podcast in which we discuss various ways that were inadequate slash not good enough partners in our lives to make a difference. but sometimes we also play games. Sometimes we read scripts. You wanted to read something today?

Yeah. So this is an interesting, this was an interesting one to me. Basically, we used to write Jake and Amir's obviously, but we also used to write scripts called Hardly Working for College Humor, as many will recall. And we wrote them, I think we've tried to find old scripts before, but they're all written on basically the free version of final draft that we used 10, 15 years ago called Celtics. Yeah.

But I recently went in, found an old hardly working script, and I uploaded it to ChatGPT. Oh. And I said, can you make this into a PDF? Okay. And it was more or less able to. Wow. So I sent you two hardly working scripts. You used an AI agent to do your bidding.

Yeah. This is what AI is supposed to be used for, I think. I sent you... It took nine swimming pools worth of water to complete that task, but ultimately we got a PDF out of it. Yeah. I mean, I think it's going to be worth it. Let's see.

Okay. Oh, it also took some artistic liberties in changing the script. Yeah, definitely made it. It made it better. It turned you into a robot. Tell me if you remember hardly working credit card. No, not off the title. alone yeah it's one that starts pat you me and streeter okay um so i'll be me and

streeter you be you and pat you wrote this no i don't i have no idea who wrote it it came to me from jessica aggie in like 2009 okay um so i i have no idea what this is either okay we're both going in completely blind right now okay uh interior office near pat's desk i'll also read scene direction yeah streeter says I'm just saying if you threw a rock at a piece of paper, the paper wouldn't wrap around the rock. I'll bet you $1,000 it would. Hey, Pat, you dropped a quarter. Oh, gee, thanks.

Pat bends over to tie his shoes while bent over. So, like, wait, you dropped a quarter and then Pat bends over to tie his shoes. This is obviously at first draft. Yeah. While bent over, Jake, credit card swipes his butt crack. Credit card! The gang cracks up. Pat, bent over, mutters his disapproval.

Real mature guys Excuse me I need to make a withdrawal Amir swipes Pat's butt crack Everyone laughs Streeter I'd like to check my account balance please Note if possible

The following section Should be done in one shot With Pat's face in the foreground With and everyone else behind him Facing his butt Pat is oblivious to what's going on behind him concentrating on the coin Streeter swipes Pat's butt crack

Everyone laughs Then Street pulls out a slip a paper from Pat's butt. Hey, Streeter, what's that? It's my balance. It says zero. Zero, but we just got paid. There has to be some mistake.

Streep pulls out his hand and swipes Pat's butt again. He pokes Pat's right butt cheek like it's a key pad. Oh my God. What does it say? It says my account was emptied 15 minutes ago. Someone hacked into my account. What am I going to do? Listen, don't worry.

I can lend you some cash until everything gets straightened out. Jake swipes his hand in Pat's butt, poking his butt cheek. You don't have to do that, really. I know I don't have to. I want to. God, this is the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to a person. Pat to himself. Wow, a Minnesota state quarter.

They stopped minting these in 2005. It's 200 bucks, okay? Yeah, that's fine. God, I can't believe this. I feel so exposed. Jake lifts a wad of 20s out of Pat's butt and hands it to Streeter. Don't worry, Street. Everything will be fine.

Just call Patrick. Patrick's butt in the morning and explain what happened. No, we can break the one shot here if need be. Jeff from behind them interrupts. You can be Jeff. I'm sorry. Are you three actually using Patrick's butt? Are you just standing in front of it?

Oh, sorry about that. Someone hacked into my account and... Do I look like someone who cares? Suddenly, Dan wearing panty hose wraps his arm around Jeff's neck and puts his finger to his temple. The game gasps. Dan, hands up, everybody. get out your credit cards now listen we'll do whatever you want just don't hurt us the gang

piles their hands on top of each other on dan's open palm like a pile of cards oh that's our cards i see uh dan to amir you swipe yours amir swipes pat's butt empty your savings but my grandmother gave me that just do it back to the frontal back to the frontal shot with pat in the foreground as amir pokes pat's and butt and takes out a huge wad of money from his ass Uh, my grandmother's going to cry when she sees this. Pat to himself, you know, due to a die error, certain Minnesota quarters include three extra, sorry, include extra trees. Now get down on the ground and count to a hundred. The gang lies down just as Pat is standing up.

What are you guys doing down there? You look totally ridiculous, holding the quarter. Can someone deposit this into my butt? All right. Really come out? That's a good question. Did that script come out? Let's see. It does definitely sound like something we would make.

Yes, it did. Hardly working credit card. It's a minute in 51 seconds. Yeah. We must have edited it very tightly. I guess we probably did. I really wonder who wrote that. Okay.

It feels like a Dan or a Pat because that is the butt literally of the joke. I'm afraid to read the next one. Wow. Why, because it's incredibly offensive? Well, it's five pages long, just like this one. Okay, what's this next one called? Okay, the next one is also in your email. It's called obnoxious kit.

Okay. The gang sits around a coffee, conference table. Okay, I'll be Streeter again. Streeter says, look, I realize that taking the site off the internet doesn't seem like the best business plan, but we need to be thinking about Streeter notices Dan not paying attention. He's leaning against the window. Dan, could you sit down with the rest of us? Dan whiny.

What? I'm not doing anything. I'm just standing. It's distracting. Standing is distracting. It's not illegal to stand. Jeff says, he's got you there, Streeter. I know it's not illegal, but he's going to smudge the window.

That's a pat line. I know that's a pat line. Oh my God. I'm not even touching the window. Look. Dan motions for Pat to back him up. Pat gets up and waves his hand between Dan and the window. Yep.

He's still in the truth. Whatever. fine stand there all i'm proposing here is that we take the site down for three four years tops in that time we can dan walks up behind streeter and holds a finger to the back of his head dad stop touching me i'm not touching you yes you are oh my god i'm not even touching you sarah gets up leans over and examines the situation he's right technically he isn't making contact dan if you could just sit down and stop being dan slap streeter what the hell i'm not allowed to move my hands you're allowed to move your hands but you can't just hit dude.

This is sort of reminiscent of mime. I wonder who stole which. Oh, I'm just supposed to know what my hand is going to do? Yeah, Street. It's like when you fall asleep on your arm and you lose feeling in it. He wasn't sleeping. He had total control. Dan slept Streeter again.

Sorry. I guess I should have controlled that. Jeff turns to bat. Epic burn. Streeter stands up. Dan, would you just sit down so we can focus? This is the future of the website we're talking about. Oh, fine.

Dan begrudgingly takes a seat. Thank you. So in order to move forward, we're going to need streeters distracted. Dan, are you murdering Patrick? Dan is on the conference table, strangely, Pat. Is there a problem? Uh, yeah. Oh, my God.

How am I not, I supposed to not murder Patrick. His face is distracting everyone. Patrick, he's right street. Better to just let him finish the job. We're not going to let him kill you, Pat. Oh, fine. Dan, let's go of Pat and sits with everyone. Suddenly, Jake enters the room in a panic.

Whoa, I thought I wasn't going to be in it. You guys, I have very little time to explain. The building is going to explode. If we don't, Streeter says, if we don't what? I say, sorry, I lost my train of thought. I was looking at Pat's face. Dan. Oh my God, I told you.

Cut to office exploding. What? Whoa. Okay. So he, how am I not supposed to murder Pat's face? It's distracting everyone. And it turns out that it was distracting me. And I was going to warn you guys that the office was going to explode and I didn't get to.

So Dan was right all along. But the office would have exploded instantly anyway, it seems. Do you think we shot this one? I think so. Interesting. Let's find out. Obnoxious kid. These were both, I think, either written by Dan or Pat.

I feel like they were both. I feel like it was Dan and Pat collapse almost. Yeah, they follow it very. specific like comedy structure of like escalating beats and then ending with a funny note we honestly must have changed the the name of it because it's like it's based on this like bully type character I thought it was going to be like a kid who asked about the homework assignment but it's definitely based on like I'm not touching you I'm just like a millimeter away from your face so you can't get mad at me I can't stand up I'm not touching the window it's so many I'm not touching you things

A lot of being annoying as a kid was based on kind of, but not actually touching people. Yeah, we've done that before, too. Like, we say you're not touching me, but then you are touching me a lot. Right. Or like in mind where I'm like not talking, but then I'm screaming a lot. Yeah. I think I'm like, you're yelling. Like, I'm aggravated.

Like, yeah, so still you're yelling. Exactly. All right. Two solid apps. Let's, uh, let's show. Yeah. Is that crazy? I mean, all we have to do is get the gang back together for a quick little 17-year-old sketch comedy shoots. Wild reading those brought nothing back. And I had many lines. Not even joy. I feel like I'm reading them and they're all strangers to me. Well, we must have improvised a lot on the day. Or we shot three of these in one afternoon in 2008. You don't remember that because I was 18 years ago. That could be too. Okay, let's take a break, come back, play a game that I invented if you can believe it. Whoa.

Okay. Have you heard of the game 11? No. Exactly. Because I just made it up and I barely know the rules. Got it. Okay. So here's what I want you to do. Yeah. Write down, mash. Actually, I'll do it first so you can

see this way. I'm going to mash 11 digits in a row. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. All right, great. So I mashed 11 digits in a row. I'm going to repeat them to you one by one.

So I'll start with one digit. You repeat it back. Two digits. You repeat it back, three, and then all the way to 11. If you get to 11, that's an 11. That's the best you can do. Okay. If you end up going short of that, you're considered a loser and you haven't won the game. If you should end at 7 or 8, I can try to then top or beat your score without getting to an 11. But the goal, of course, the theoretical maximum is 11. If it turns out that it's easy to do 11. We'll try playing a new game I invented called 12. Cool. But I'll go over those rules later. This is going to be very hard for me. I'm calling it now. How's your memory in general?

Bad. Short term, long term. I mean, I feel like your long term memory is good. You're like, I remember that shirt from that episode because I bought it that day. My long term memory is great. Short term, very bad. So like if something is baked into your brain, you'll never forget it. But like everything since then is just floating like dandelion in the wind. Yeah. Somebody asked me what I did last weekend. I don't know. Got it. So we'll start with, I mean, it starts really easy, just one digit.

Three. Okay. Can I have a lifeline? Oh my God, you already can't fucking remember. All right. Three, easy. Done. Yeah.

Three zero. Okay. 304. 304. No problem. 3049. That's actually kind of cool because I wanted it to be nine. 3049.

Right. And at this point, you feel like seven is right around the quarter. Maybe like 11 is easy. Right. 30498. Okay. 304. 9.8.

I should say you guys can play at home. I often forget to mention that. But yeah, feel free to play along. 304. 98. 5. Okay. That's interesting.

This is 6 of 11. 3. 04. 185 that's good this is like you know when they send you like a text message or six digit code yeah and you're like I don't know if I can copy and paste it or just memorize it I like sort of just have it and I can like carry it like short term memory like I'm holding water in my hand you're trying to distract me don't okay sorry talk to me no small talk 304 985 9853 okay 304 9853 great Okay. 304.

985. 2. Not 985 3.2. Excuse me. Correct. 304. 985. 327.

304. 985 327. Good job. You're at 9. 304. 9853-270. 3-270.

9-8-5-3-2-7-0. Holy shit, you're at 10. I mean, this is a lot fucking more exciting than I thought when I invented the game 11, you know? Yeah, for sure. I'm not going to get the last one. What's that? I won't get the last one. 304-983-2704.

304-9-8-8-3. Five, three, two, oh, seven, four. I'm sorry, Jake. He got the last four digits wrong. Yeah, it was 304, 985, 3,2702. That's going to happen. That's going to happen. I mean, it kind of justifies the game being 11 and not 10,

because 10 is a phone number you can memorize 11 you really really got it committed to memory and the interesting part is because this is your short term memory in like 30 seconds you won't even remember the first digit let alone the first eight or nine like you did I'm trying to I'm going to come up with the most insane number oh my God it's going to be so fucking random no repeating digits or anything yeah also I should say feel free to cheat a little bit Write yourself little reminders. Like if you write down the first five, six, seven digits just to get things squared away in your brain, if that's something. Yeah, I was writing down most of them.

I still couldn't nail it, but I got pretty close. How about this for a first number? Four. One is easy because that's the first number. You basically made the game a 10 for me because I'll always remember one is the first number because one is one. So like all I have to do is memorize the next 10. I've already forgotten one. I just know that it's going to be one.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, how about the second number? Six. That's great. 16. Okay, so I have Paugasol wearing 16 number jersey, and then I just have to memorize this nine-digit code. Thank you.

16-4. Okay, four. Four. Four is easy because it's like Pao-Gasol scoring four points. So, one-six-four. Okay, now I just got to memorize an eight-digit code. No, I'm creating a memory pal-ed. So, like, I just have to memorize.

Two rings. The number is one-six-four-2. Oh, that's great. Paugasol, James Worthy. So it's 1642. Now I just have to memorize a seven-digit code. That's pretty good. I've created a memory that creates something that's easy to fucking put into my brain.

16-4-2-5. Robert DeWry. Even easier. So it's Pau Gasol, high-fiving, James Worthy, and Robert Ory. Congratulations. The easiest six-digit code. Three guys, but what about this fourth guy? 164-25-4-4-4.

Shit. Who was it? Yeah. Raphael Nadal. 1-6-4-2-5-4. Easy to remember, because 5-4 is Tom Cruise's heighten. He's on the team too. And he watched T2. 19 times times 4 is 57.

16-4-25-49. nine one six four two five forty nine how many did you just that you're at seven holy shit okay i just have to memorize the last four one six four two five four nine two see now you're trying to say it in like a different cadence to mess me up but i don't have to repeat it in that cadence You can do whatever you want. One, six, four, two, five, four, nine, two. You almost didn't. How many digits do I have left?

Do you have three to go? Easy. 164, 254, 92, seven. Oh, okay. Because I've created, constructed this memory palette, That's so easy to call back. Pau Gasol, high-fiving James Worthy, Robert Horry, Tom Cruise's height, the number two. So it's just string it all together.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow, you're falling apart. Wow. You were too confident. Too confident? Is that a clue? One six. You were nine confident.

One six is the first two digits, right? Yeah. 4-2, 5, 4-9, 7. Paugasol is melting away. 7, 2. And now just the last digit you said, right? You have said nine digits in almost the right order. But your memory palace has caved in because it was 27, not 7-2.

Fuck! Yeah. Now, Paugasol and Robert Ori are high-fiving me. I'm on Tom Cruise's small shoulders. We're standing on the shoulders of giants. This is how people memorize full decks of cards, but I guess they're better at. at it than we are. Should we try another round? Yeah, let's do it. I feel like I had it though. Now that I don't have it, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. All right, this is, I mean, I'm looking at it. This is a

really hard sequence. Okay. How about this? We won't, we'll just, instead of talking, which is kind of tripping us up. Yeah, we just play raw. Play raw. Ready? Yep. Eight, eight, eight, eight four. Eight four, eight four nine. 849, 8491, 8491, 8491, 8490, 8490, 84910910, 849-9101, 84-9101, 84-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-0-1-9-8-4-9-9-9-0-1-94. 84-91-091-19-1-14 I believe it was 0194 and you said oh nine I got I got tripped up thinking it was going to be easier to start doing 84-91 yeah it's the single digits would have been would have been a lot easier how about you motherfucker it's time to start with three three shit really three seven three seven three seven three seven one I'm just going to close my eyes and fucking power through.

371. 3719. 3719. 37194. 37194. 37194. 371942. 371942.

3719426. 3719426. 37194. 26. 371. 94-2-65. 3-7. 2.

I'm alive. I just lost it. I had it like a janket tower. I was drying it in my mind's eye and then it faded away and there's no bringing it back. Because I didn't lock it to anything. The record stands at my 10. Isn't that cool? I think the memory palace is the way to go.

But like it's the last four digits that's built on this pretty flimsy base that makes, it's like putting Legos on top of each other at a certain point. And so wobbly, the whole thing falls down. Yeah. I mean, I know my license plate, and sometimes I, like, get tripped up. Yeah. It's hard to do this. Okay. Why don't you try the Memory Palace thing?

Okay. Maybe it'll help. All right. So, like, assign every three digits to something. No problem. Okay. Seven. Okay, seven.

Seven two. Seven two. Shack's height. He is seven foot two. Shack. Seven two, nine, two. Oh, sorry, two more. 729.

Okay. It's too late. Are you going to give me that, too? Yeah, I'll go 7292. Okay, 7-2. I'm imagining Shaq holding up a 92-year-old man. 7-2-9-2. Great.

It's built in. 7-2-9-9. 7-2-9-9. 7-2-9-8. Okay. seven seven two nine two nine eight shack is holding up two very old men oh seven two nine two nine eight eight correct you still building the memory or it's a sort of yeah no it's it's uh the number eight is in my license plate so right now it's shack holding up these two old men and i'm driving towards them okay

I'm going to plow into them. 7-2-9-8-8-4. Okay. 7-2-9-2-9-8-4. Correct. You're riding shotgun. You were born in 83, but I'm imagining you were born in 84. It's the year between the two of us.

This is what things get dangerous. You start changing things. It's fine. Yeah, four digits left. That's fine. 7292-9-8-8-4-2 okay 7-2-9-9-8-8-4-2 correct three digits left 7-2 9-9-8-8-4-2 2 okay 7-2 9-9-8-8-4-2 correct because jemma's 2 she's in the back seat of the car there's two of us you're okay you're nine digits deep okay seven two nine two nine eight eight four two two two two nine eight four two two two three holy shit

you're at ten seven two nine two nine eight eight four two three okay 7-2-9-2-9-8-8-4-22-2-3-8 correct that's 11 yes dude do you want to know my memory palace yeah well you're sort of describing it yeah well it changed a little bit so shack was holding up two old men uh-huh uh in his right hand and his left had a 92 year old and a 98 year old yeah 84 I was just kind of You know, that's a birth year-ish. Yeah. Were you born in 84 or 83?

83, yeah. Okay, yeah. But 84 is just birth-year-ish. Yeah. Then 2-2, Brian Johnson, one of my favorite players from Tottenham. Yeah. That's his number, Jersey 22. So I imagined him in the back seat with us driving towards Shaq.

Yeah. And then 38, I was just like, that's my age, even though it's not. So two of them have to do with ages that are. kind of not yeah wasn't your screen name something with 38 oh yeah big 38 Jake yeah why um I think the girl that I had a crush on or was dating in middle school um her initials were CH the third letter and the eighth letter of the alphabet that's awesome yeah that could have been another way for you to memorize it it's true do you want to try oh fine okay okay give me one last I'll try to memory palace it up. I remember reading that memory book and this is how they memorize a deck of cards that each

card has a person, action, and object. So you're like, all right, the first three cards are Albert Einstein eating a pie in my foyer and then I walk to the stairs and it's Michael Jordan punching a fruit loop. I remember reading this too. I'm like, it sounds like that's also a lot to remember. Right, but it's I guess easier to remember random digits. Yeah. Okay. Let's see what happens. By the way, we've done 11, they do a 52 deck. Yeah. 2.2. Yeah. 2-9. 2-9. That's good because it's like a 2-9-fish sandwich. So it starts with somebody eating a 2-9-fish sandwich. Let's see what it is. 2-9-1. 2-1-6. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-16. 2-9-1-6. 2-6. 2-1-6. Okay, 29-1607, Lamar Odom. I'll just do two-digit codes every time.

Yeah. So it's Lamar Odom and Paugasol eating a two-digit, a two-nine fish sandwich. Okay, 29-160-5. Okay. Again, the Robert Ory of five, but let's see what the next digit brings, but it's 29-160-5. 29-16-07-58. Okay, that's your birthday. again switched yeah so it's uh 2916 oh 7 58 which is your back your yours thing backwards it's also um your height 5 8 that's not true

29 16 07 58 4 okay what is this for i'll ask so it's yeah 29 1 6 oh 7 58 4 nice you are you got 2 to go 29. Oh, I'm already at 9? Yeah. This is easy now. Okay. Yeah, that's all right. 2.9-160-5-8-4-3.

Easy, Michael Thompson. 29-1-6-0-7-58-43. So those are, it's easier to think of it as five, two-digit numbers. Yeah. So now I just have to add something to that one digit. 29-1-6-07-58-43-2. 29-16-0-07-58-4-3-2 Keep it going

We have a winning I'm not even close to done 29-1-6-0-7-58-4-3-2-7 Again, as long as it's basketball players I can just I think I can go through an entire fucking pie to the 10,000th digit 29-16-07-5-8-48-14 three, two, seven.

29. 16. 07. 58. 43. 274. 29. 1.6.

07. 58. 43. 274. Okay. Let's see if I can think of another number. I'm running out of

fucking digits. Okay. 29. 16. 07. 58. 4.3. 2748.

8. 29 the sandwich i'll never forget that sandwich that 29 fish sandwich 2 9 1 6 07 58 4 3 2 748 no that's wrong what that was wrong 27 48 2 is there another 27 4 no there i think you said 4 oh god now i have to play it back i think you i thought you said for I think it was wrong. Okay, let me say it again. Let me say it again as I said it. 2-9-16-0-7-58-4-3-27-48. Wow, okay, that was right.

Okay, thank you. 29-16-0-75-8-4-3-27-48-0. 29-16-0-07-58-43-27-47-48-4-3-27-48-0. 29-1-6-07-58-48-4-3-27-4-8-0-6. 2-9-1-6-0-7-5-8-2-6. 47, 4, 3, 4,8, 06. You stumbled. You switched 4-3 and 27.

Ah, yes, I did 4-3-27 instead of 27-4-3. Okay. No, you actually did 27-4-3 instead of 4-3-27. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I forgot the order of the basketball player standing shoulder to shoulder. So these were all basketball players? Yes, it was a series of jersey numbers. All right, wait, 2, 3.

four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen. That's pretty good. Sixteen. The palgusol comes back. If people liked this, we could see how high we could go, but I guarantee everyone hated that. Because it was boring to hear. It was just us, it was saying numbers.

Maybe even worse than when we just tried to guess a number. Because there was the, there wasn't the joy of saying the same number at the same time. were just sort of repeating numbers back and forth. Right. And at a certain point, this always happens. We have fun playing the game and we forget that we're making a podcast. But I enjoyed that. Yeah.

It's either going to be us for the audience and sometimes we have to slide the thing all the way down to us. Speaking of debatably entertaining, on our Patreon today, we did a bonus segment again, which is us doing a crossword puzzle. That's right. That's right. Another time where we played a game. I think that one is, I mean, I had a great time.

Yeah. I really had a great time. So I hope you'll watch it. I hope you'll enjoy it. That one is more than just digits. So maybe there's hope for that yet. But there's some words there. Let us know.

We're shooting video on these Patreon segment episodes. So you can tune in and see that. That's true. So there's that at the very least. Okay. So that is available to y'all. We're also doing more Jake and your watchers at patreon.com slash JA. Thank you for sticking with us through the audio version of us repeating credit card digits.

I should say these are, those were all your credit card numbers. Yes. That's where I got them. Yes. So if you memorize them as well, congratulations to those who played along. You can purchase whatever the fuck you want. Yeah, that's the expiration and the CCCC, CVC, what is that thing?

CVV. Yeah, the secret number that is unable to be memorized. You have to read it on the day. Otherwise, they'll steal your information. Thank you to you guys for listening. And we'll be back. week at 09-16-25-4-7-0500 hours at 30805-05. See you guys there. Woo. That was a Hidgum original.
