                                         I mean you know what I'm talking about

                                         because that's where masochism comes from
                                         
                                         anyway I haven't tracked

                                         I would have started earlier
                                         
                                         somebody french braided my hair

                                         great photo

                                         it looks like a good french braid
                                         
                                         I can't see what it looks like
                                         
                                         when you're facing forward obviously
                                         
    
                                         so
                                         
                                         I have a photo of that
                                         
                                         alright
                                         
                                         frontal that would be great
                                         
                                         they're a 360 video it's good I have a photo of that. Yeah, can we see the frontal? That would be great.
                                         
                                         They're a 360 video.
                                         
                                         It's good.
                                         
                                         I like it.
                                         
    
                                         Good hat.
                                         
                                         Yeah, the hat makes it.
                                         
                                         Grayson, anything you could have done better this weekend?
                                         
                                         I asked a girl out on a date and she said no.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         You know what?
                                         
                                         Let's get her on.
                                         
                                         Can I send her the link?
                                         
    
                                         How could anybody say no to you?
                                         
                                         Listen, you and I are on the same page.
                                         
                                         Just shocking.
                                         
                                         So that happened.
                                         
                                         I could have done, I guess I could have done that better.

                                         I mean, no, but I did bury my turtle in my front yard.
                                         
                                         I've been fostering a turtle.
                                         
    
                                         There's no way.
                                         
                                         And I could have done that better.
                                         
                                         You've been fostering a turtle.
                                         
                                         Don't foster reptiles, I would say.
                                         
                                         He, let's see, a month ago,
                                         
                                         wandered into the yard
                                         
                                         and I was feeding him lettuce, strawberries.
                                         
                                         Lettuce or Shreddus?
                                         
    
                                         I'm sorry to even ask.
                                         
                                         Shreddus and lettuce.
                                         
                                         And he died on Friday.
                                         
                                         And it was a shallow grave,
                                         
                                         so I could have done that better, I guess.
                                         
                                         Actually, genuinely incredible timing on that.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You could have dug a deeper grave for a turtle.
                                         
    
                                         Is he like sticking out of the top?
                                         
                                         Are you kidding me, man?
                                         
                                         Don't you get what's happening?
                                         
                                         Clearly something is happening.
                                         
                                         She doesn't care.
                                         
                                         She doesn't like turtles.
                                         
                                         Oh my God.
                                         
                                         The keyboard is like the most important thing, dude.
                                         
    
                                         That was easy.

                                         Was that you or the cat?
                                         
                                         That was not me or the cat, Brad.
                                         
                                         I found my own

                                         Mariko would hate that.
                                         
                                         We have to keep moving on.
                                         
                                         Are you kidding me?
                                         
    
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Jesus.
                                         
                                         I'm thrown by this.
                                         
                                         Let's keep it going with everybody's Bond of the Week.
                                         
                                         Grayson, I'm not sure if you know,
                                         
                                         but basically every week until the next James Bond is cast,
                                         
                                         we're going to be lobbing up our picks for the next 007.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I've done this before, and I'm prepared.
                                         
    
                                         He edits the video podcast.

                                         This week, my pick is Shawn Michaels.
                                         
                                         Imagine James doing sweet chin music on a fool.
                                         
                                         Who is Shawn Michaels?
                                         
                                         He's like a former WWF wrestler.
                                         
                                         Wrestler, really.
                                         
    
                                         Okay, okay.
                                         
                                         I feel like a Godfather villain right now.
                                         
                                         Silk robe, black cat. I i mean one of those things is you
                                         
                                         could have avoided which was the robe obviously and was the cash yeah i don't know if you could
                                         
                                         have avoided the cat if she could just sit on my lap and relax i could fucking get on with this at
                                         
                                         least now i have an excuse for why this episode is going to be horseshit.
                                         
                                         That's a good attitude.
                                         
                                         I'm going to go Lewis Hamilton
                                         
    
                                         Formula One driver.
                                         
                                         That would be really fun.
                                         
                                         Take a steep

                                         Does James Bond do a lot of car chases
                                         
                                         in the movies?

                                         So he would certainly be ready for that.
                                         
    
                                         100%.
                                         
                                         And he's also, James is usually running from someone.
                                         
                                         And so is Lewis.
                                         
                                         He has a lot of demons.
                                         
                                         No, he's just always in front and like just, you know.
                                         
                                         Well, not anymore.
                                         
                                         Not this season.
                                         
                                         That's for damn sure.

                                         Let's hear your best, the name is James, James Bond in a Kermit voice.
                                         
                                         James Bond.
                                         
                                         You fucked it up, even with the voice being fine.
                                         
                                         The voice was perfect, but the line was hard.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         It's sort of a cultural touchstone in our company.

                                         I have like half siblings that I didn't really grow up with.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So do you consider yourself an only child?
                                         
                                         And she is looking at me to get back on my knee.
                                         
                                         Uh, do you consider yourself an only child?
                                         
    
                                         Um, I think yes, just given like, I was the only one living in the house with my parents.
                                         
                                         So for that reason, kind of.
                                         
                                         Did you feel like a third wheel at times?
                                         
                                         I guess so.
                                         
                                         I feel like if, I don't know, I remember,
                                         
                                         I specifically remember I never watched the Lord of the Rings movies
                                         
                                         because my parents wouldn't let me.
                                         
                                         And they watched them by themselves.
                                         
    
                                         And I remember not being allowed to. Wow. watched the Lord of the Rings movies because my parents wouldn't let me. And they watched them by themselves.
                                         
                                         And I remember not being allowed to.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         And you were like 16 at that point, right?
                                         
                                         This was last month.
                                         
                                         No, I don't think I ever felt like a third wheel.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Because this is what Sylvie's parents said.
                                         
    
                                         Here's a typical weeknight scenario in our household.
                                         
                                         My husband, Tom, our nine-year-old daughter, Sylvie, and I feel like ordering in.
                                         
                                         And after a lengthy debate, we decide on pizza.
                                         
                                         Later, while the three of us are eating pepperoni slices and playing Bananagrams,
                                         
                                         Sylvie reminds Tom that our wedding anniversary is coming up and offhandedly mentions that my favorite flowers are peonies.
                                         
                                         After a few rounds of the game, we consider a movie.
                                         
                                         Sylvie proposes Escape from New York, a film that has piqued her curiosity after hearing her father repeatedly imitate Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken.
                                         
                                         I'll look it up on Common Sense Media to see if it's appropriate, she volunteers, opening my computer.
                                         
    
                                         Unfortunately, she reports gravely, it's for ages 16 and up.
                                         
                                         Except for a severed head, Sylvie reads aloud, there's little explicit gore.
                                         
                                         An atmosphere of cynicism and darkness pervades, including a negative depiction of a U.S. president.
                                         
                                         So, like, in that scenario, brad what would you do with your
                                         
                                         your boo like is 16 and up can she handle it do you know if we if we had a nine-year-old who
                                         
                                         wanted to watch gangs of new york specifically but learned that it wasn't age appropriate
                                         
                                         yes i can't tell what your reaction is there's a cat
                                         
                                         in your face
                                         
    
                                         this is not where you should be
                                         
                                         the question that he asked was basically
                                         
                                         can your wife watch
                                         
                                         age or age escape from New York
                                         
                                         that's how he phrased the question
                                         
                                         we've never seen it
                                         
                                         and we don't want kids
                                         
                                         wow
                                         
    
                                         so you sort of made a mockery of this entire prompt, huh?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I guess it's the Hild show today.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Let's hear another one of your sounds.
                                         
                                         Hold on.
                                         
                                         I guess also don't ask me because I don't want kids.
                                         
                                         That's what she said.
                                         
    
                                         Grayson, do you want, for lack of a better term, rugrats?
                                         
                                         I would love rugrats, but only if they were specifically the actual rugrats.
                                         
                                         So you want animated characters as your kin?
                                         
                                         Yeah, absolutely.
                                         
                                         Tommy Pickles.
                                         
                                         That's not a Rugrat.
                                         
                                         The other ones.
                                         
                                         It is a Rugrat.
                                         
    
                                         Tommy Pickles is the main one.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         But what if...
                                         
                                         We do have to take a quick break, mostly because of ads.
                                         
                                         take a quick break mostly because of ads. I think all turtles just carry salmonella.
                                         
                                         Guys, taking care of your health isn't always easy, right? But it should be simple. That's why for the last three years I've been taking AG1, just one scoop and a cup of water mixed
                                         
                                         around every day, no exceptions. And it helps me feel, you know, energized, focused, ready to take
                                         
                                         on the day like I'm doing one powerfully healthy habit that's also powerfully simple. I know that
                                         
    
                                         AG1 gives my body high quality nutrition because every batch goes through a rigorous testing
                                         
                                         process so that you know it's safe. And their ingredients are sourced for potency, absorption, and nutrient density,
                                         
                                         all of which is very important and you don't always get with other leading nutrition brands.
                                         
                                         I like to drink it first thing in the morning.
                                         
                                         I'll have a glass of water.
                                         
                                         I'll have my AG1 and then I'll have my coffee.
                                         
                                         And it gets me set off to take on the day and to be centered
                                         
                                         and to feel like I did at least one good thing for my health.
                                         
    
                                         And if you do that every day, it has compounding effects.
                                         
                                         If there's one product I had to recommend to elevate your health,
                                         
                                         it's AG1.
                                         
                                         That's why we partnered with them for so long.
                                         
                                         So if you want to take ownership of your health,

                                         You were saying all turtles carry salmonella?

                                         I think Harvard Law is still
                                         
                                         the strangest
                                         
                                         you think that's still the strangest thong
                                         
                                         yeah

                                         i feel like i would be most jarred if i saw this i'm'm like, oh, do you... Is that like a grooming thing?
                                         
                                         You pull the thong back,
                                         
                                         cleanly shaved, so I don't know what to think.
                                         
                                         I still don't think
                                         
                                         anything is weirder than
                                         
                                         Harvard Law at the moment.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think I disagree, actually.
                                         
    
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         I disagree. I think if this is Bush
                                         
                                         41, then I think it is weirder
                                         
                                         than Harvard Law, but if it's Bush 43, then I think it is weirder than Harvard Law.
                                         
                                         But if it's Bush 43, then I do think that Harvard Law is still weirder.
                                         
                                         You can't tell based on the font.

                                         Innuendo.

                                         another headline from today
                                         
                                         Elon Musk threatens to pull out of the Twitter deal
                                         
                                         unless he gets more information about fake accounts
                                         
                                         and how Twitter monitors that, cracks down on it.
                                         
                                         And basically this letter that was sent to the, I believe the SEC,
                                         
                                         said that Mr. Musk had repeatedly requested more information
                                         
                                         about how...
                                         
                                         Sorry.
                                         
    
                                         About how, you know, Twitter measures spam and fake accounts.
                                         
                                         And he issued an ultimatum, basically,
                                         
                                         saying if he doesn't get this information, he's out.
                                         
                                         Which I personally would love.
                                         
                                         So I thought we could, here right now,
                                         
                                         come up with a couple fake accounts
                                         
                                         to
                                         
                                         sabotage the deal
                                         
    
                                         sabotage this deal
                                         
                                         because he's kind of getting this for
                                         
                                         pennies on the dollar
                                         
                                         in terms of what I think Twitter is worth
                                         
                                         I thought that he had already
                                         
                                         backed out
                                         
                                         did he back in again
                                         
                                         this I mean Baldo style Already backed out. Did he back in again?

                                         I don't even know if that makes sense.
                                         
                                         What do you mean back out?

                                         get your news but he might pull out if they don't provide more if they don't
                                         
                                         provide more information.
                                         
    
                                         And I think the more fake accounts, the higher the chance he pulls out.
                                         
                                         Baldo

                                         That's what she said.
                                         
                                         Why are there two versions?
                                         
                                         Ellie, you're 12.
                                         
                                         You were born in 2010.
                                         
    
                                         Okay, buddy.

                                         She can't take the hint because I've done that.
                                         
                                         And she almost ended the meeting.
                                         
                                         That's why this is unacceptable.
                                         
                                         Fake accounts.
                                         
                                         It's taking three minutes to get into this
                                         
                                         what is a fake account i don't know like what something run by a bot or not

                                         clearly the first one should be
                                         
                                         a Jeff quote

                                         potentially just a dictionary

                                         together and half of them will
                                         
                                         just read as any sentence

                                         Marika, you've been at the company the longest of the four of us, I'm pretty sure.
                                         
                                         And I know that there's been a lot of new hires recently, and a lot of that has included group meetings, like Zo Zooms where everybody kind of gives them the A-OK.
                                         
                                         Yes, we want to work with this person.
                                         
                                         Brad, did you do one of these?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I am the new hire.
                                         
                                         I'm the newest one up.
                                         
                                         I want to know who was on that call because...
                                         
    
                                         Marika was there.
                                         
                                         Okay, Marika, do you have any regrets?
                                         
                                         Let's Monday morning quarterback Brad's employment. After him saying pussy, any regrets? After the sentence that he just said.
                                         
                                         After him saying pussy, the most unsure I've ever heard anyone
                                         
                                         say that.
                                         
                                         No, I don't
                                         
                                         think so.
                                         
                                         That's good. That's got to be a vote of confidence.
                                         
    
                                         Jeff,
                                         
                                         do you mind if I ask Brad a question?
                                         
                                         Yeah, of course.
                                         
                                         Brad, after joining this Zoom call, do you have if I ask Brad a question? Yeah, of course. Just for a second. Great. Brad, after joining this Zoom call,
                                         
                                         do you have any regrets?
                                         
                                         You definitely need to ask about HR stuff.
                                         
                                         There isn't one.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         I guess it's good that I said pussy then.
                                         
                                         Not good.
                                         
                                         Maybe not good, but fine.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh my God.
                                         
                                         Any more fake accounts?
                                         
                                         Because that's all I had today, guys.
                                         
                                         I gave you gold.
                                         
    
                                         You can just wax.
                                         
                                         Grayson, what else is up in your love life you said that you asked
                                         
                                         a woman out on a date she said no
                                         
                                         yeah how is like
                                         
                                         how's your cock how's your heart
                                         
                                         yeah definitely I'll think of
                                         
                                         more fake accounts
                                         
                                         can I ask can I ask a question
                                         
    
                                         about the date did you have one planned like did you say it
                                         
                                         with like this is what it would be or no oh it's I mean it's so much more complicated than that
                                         
                                         Jeff knows how these things go um why right Jeff I don't know if you're referencing something real in my life or if you're just...
                                         
                                         I don't think asking someone out is complicated.
                                         
                                         I just didn't want to be...
                                         
                                         I didn't like to be sort of singled out in that moment
                                         
                                         and I felt like I needed a friend to say,
                                         
                                         I understand what you're going through.
                                         
    
                                         And you just absolutely didn't react to that.
                                         
                                         I just needed some amount of support.
                                         
                                         No, I don't get it at all.
                                         
                                         Let's hear it.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         What if there was a Twitter account that took things that were said on this podcast out of context?
                                         
                                         You know?
                                         
                                         And sort of posted those.
                                         
    
                                         You said that so like it was an original idea.
                                         
                                         I'm actually impressed.
                                         
                                         Thanks. I just actually impressed. Thanks.
                                         
                                         I just thought of it.
                                         
                                         So.
                                         
                                         Either you're a good actor or you don't know about it.
                                         
                                         You're either a good actor or very stupid.
                                         
                                         That was easy.
                                         
    
                                         What's new in your life, Jeff?
                                         
                                         Aside from this cat.
                                         
                                         I don't know if anybody cares to hear about that.
                                         
                                         She just asked.
                                         
                                         Hmm?
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         Well, I'm going on vacation,
                                         
                                         so that's exciting for me.
                                         
    
                                         Where are you going?
                                         
                                         To France and to Montreal.
                                         
                                         The two most French places in the world.
                                         
                                         How long am I gone?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Until the 20th.
                                         
                                         So, catch y'all later.

                                         by the time you come back?
                                         
                                         I hope so.
                                         
                                         Because if not, that would be terrible.
                                         
                                         You take one two-week vacation
                                         
                                         and then come down. that would be terrible. You take one two-week vacation and the company
                                         
                                         I made

                                         went viral recently of the couple the guy is proposing to his girlfriend at Disneyland Paris,
                                         
                                         and then one of the employees comes in and stops the proposal?

                                         I didn't watch the video, but I did see that pop up on my feed.
                                         
                                         It's the Frenchest thing I've ever heard.
                                         
                                         Why?
