This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. I got LASIK. You guys haven't asked me anything about it. My eyes look crazy right now. They look juicy, and I'm sorry that's the word. Oh, but they're, oh God, they've got some red patches in there. It's like there's bruising and hemorrhaging underneath the cornea. You also had acupuncture done, too, which is the bad call. Well, it's anti-inflammatory because I was prepared for the surgery to kind of make the eyes inflamed. Let's see.

How does it feel? What's the coolest sensation of it? Physical activity is better because I don't have to wear my glasses. You shouldn't be doing physical activity. You only got LASIK three days ago. And again, you might still be shutting the virus. Take it easy a little bit. Really? throwing parties you're working out you're getting surgery like all this stuff is kind of a no-no did you go dancing last week you mentioned dancing on

saturday yeah on saturday yeah yeah yeah a saturday night fever of sorts yeah saturday night covid A Saturday night fever of sorts. Saturday night COVID. Here's a perfect example i can't hit the applause there it is that pause is gonna be that's not gonna be good for audio you can't pause the applause yeah well this is gonna be the worst episode ever oh come on Kayla that's not true well it might be actually five seconds before

I know I see so there's a little delay to page two of the other ones to get the applause could you have two tabs open I do okay I'm sorry I'm trying to help. I do. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm trying to help.

No, I'm mad at them. We've got Joel on the fucking show. Joel, you're one of head gums, new hires. Why don't you tell us what you do and why you are. Yes.

My name is Joel. I am a software engineer for head gum slash gumball. Yesterday. I took down the site for about 10 to 15 minutes on purpose so no by accident i didn't even know i did it wow do you know how it happened uh i wiped the database of all of the shows that we have so if anyone tried to sort of search for a show there was nothing i see so the the main source of income for the entire company you took away for 15 minutes and that's 15 minutes by the way that there could have been like a manscaped ad by at 150 000 yeah maybe even maybe even on

this show um really yeah this isn't how i wanted the last 24 hours to go well you pushed this because you said you had a semi-emergency correct care to elaborate i don't well i tell you also did you post that picture at like a western saloon or something just a few hours after he said this. Yeah, I noticed that. And he also slacked us at 6 a.m. the following morning. Like, wow, whatever's going on is still going on. That's funny. But I thank you not to fucking bring it up again.

Oh. Yeah. All right. No, this is not the emergency that had me push the record. My landlord's selling the place. My landlord's selling the place, and I have to find a new place to live, Joel. And you've never been to my house,

but this place is pretty incredible, so I'm not too happy about it. Do you know how much he's looking to get for it? His estimate says $1.08 million. I much he's looking to get for it? The Zestimate says $1.08 million. I think he's going to fetch $1.2 million. Is it a two-bedroom? It's a four-bedroom. Four bedrooms, aren't those going for a lot more than $1 million?

It's a four-bedroom, but the floor plan is very... The fourth bedroom really is just a closet. I see. It's been the perfect setup, Joel. Upstairs. Is that your bedroom? The closet bedroom? No, I live in the basement.

Okay. So I have the entire first floor. And this place should probably rent for $2,000 more a month than it does. He's cashing out. I'm going to have to pay more every month to have less space and amenities. Amir, do you have a guest room? I don't have, I mean, I have an extra room, but like it's the office.

This is a huge load off. Thank you, man. Well, not necessarily because it's not, it's not like just dedicated to be a guest room right now i'm using it as a office and recording studio that's where i record all this so it's actually perfect because like that's my bed right there and i have this set up so i won't even have to bring my shit so i wouldn't i wouldn't be able to i would feel bad because i would be like needing to record in your i don't feel bad you could yeah you could change the quilt out it wouldn't be a

quilt situation it would be like i don't want to i don't want to have to end up being a quilt situation for sure and then you can hang up your bridge photo from ikea yeah the bridge photo will always be there yeah but the quilt i don't i don't even want to talk about like interior design with jeff because i now we're starting to like go down the road and i don't want that to be the case actually uh I want to put roots down. So I was wondering if you were interested in like a two-year lease. I'm not interested in an any year lease. You can pay me $10,000 a month to live with me. I'll think about it. Great.

I can't afford that but I can make it work. Joel, you're from philadelphia california or sorry philadelphia pennsylvania um you went to kobe's high school that's true lower marion high school and you're on varsity yeah basketball yeah was he on varsity uh he was actually mostly on JV. They called him up for a few games. That's what I thought. Yeah. He had a growth spurt right before the NBA draft. Yeah.

We introduced Joel, but not really Kayla, actually. Kayla's been on the show like three times. But hasn't Joel been on the show before? No. That's absolutely false. I've seen Joel on the show, I feel like. No. You're thinking of Grayson. that's absolutely false. I've seen Joel on the show. I feel like having, you're thinking of grace or, or bread,

but I'm glad my appearances were memorable to you. Yeah. I mean, I definitely remember. I mean, I feel like memorable too. Yeah. I guess I've done enough zooms with Joel that it all feels the same,

but we should at least introduce the other guests, I think. Then we also have Kayla and Amiran. Hi, everybody. There just seems, yeah. I'm stressed because the bottom of my foundational pyramid is gone. It's been swept up from under me. And I have this fucking cat to worry about so when do you have to move uh well we do have until september 30th

so you're stressed we have to move in five months i just want to make sure we find a place that i'm happy with instantly happy I need a front yard I need a back deck I need roof access where you can see downtown LA are you committed to are you committed to LA cause last time you took a few months off you just went

to New York and I thought you sort of fit in over there more than out here a little bit. You just want me gone. I mean, could be a nice little respite for you to spend another winter back east, hunker down. Because last time you were there was during a pretty nasty COVID surge, so a lot of stuff was closed, right? Mm-hmm. You were there in January and they just had a, I think it was Omicron, was it?

That sort of shut everything down for a little bit. Correct. It was. So, what do you think about heading back? Going, going, back, back to Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Because you have to leave your house, right? We'd love to have you back, Jeff. And I honestly think a little distance between the two of you will be really

healthy for your relationship. He's doing the gritty. New York it is. No, I want to stay in Atlanta getting your bond of the week pretty fast because we kind of

have a lot to cover alright I love this bond of the week yeah my landlord is having health my bond of the week is Harry my landlord

actually because he's having health issues and I feel like if he was trained by the best of the best who get James ready to put on a vest, I think that he would maybe be in better health

and wouldn't need to sell the place. He's a desert-dwelling hippie, and I think that that'd be interesting for him to be 007 as well. Nice. What if James went off-grid? Let me finish. What if James went off grid?

You took more than a pregnant pause. Anybody else have any Bonds of the Week? James Smart. That'd be great. She already kind of plays a James Bond style person in Hacks. She already kind of plays a James Bond style person in hacks. Yeah. She can do anything.

How about ASAP Rocky? Why? He's a very attractive man. Highly fashionable. Created. Please don't touch my raft. Yeah. Could probably be Bond.

He does look very Bond in this photo. Amir? What about John Mayer? He's tall and handsome and he can sort of sing. We've never had a Bond who can sort of jam.'ve never had a bond who can sort of jam so can he zap rocky yeah it's different i feel like john mayer and he already has a penchant for watches isn't that

part of the bond mystique is a watch kind of i don't thinker would make a good Bond, and I love John Mayer. Yeah. I think James Bond shouldn't be able to, like, wow anybody when he sings. You suggested your landlord. So you don't really get to have notes on other people's shit. That was easy. I'm glad we got that out of the way, because I'm not feeling it this week. I didn't want to do Bond of the Week, but when I don't do it, people's shit. That was easy. I'm glad we got that out of the way because I'm not feeling it this week. I didn't want to do Bond of the Week, but when I don't do it, people get mad.

What I want to talk about is Little Caesars announced as the new official pizza of the NFL. Let's talk about it. I think it should have been a fucking triple beam. Is that a local chain here in L.A.? It's local for now, but all they need is that cash, that deal, that advertising deal, with an NFL, with an MLS, with a WNBA, to sort of go glocal.

I haven't had Little Caesars, maybe ever. Have you guys had Little Caesars? Is it good? I've actually never heard of it. Wow. It's a very big on the East Coast. Interesting. It's just a West Coast chain, but yet still, I've never had it.

I believe it's Detroit based. Yeah. Interesting. Detroit style pizza. Yes. All right. Where the Pistons play is the Little Caesars Arena. I can't believe you've never heard of Little Caesars? The pizza pizza.

It's a Caesar, an animated Caesar who just says, pizza pizza. I've heard of the stadium, but I haven't heard of the food. The stadium makes sense. I think Little Caesars, every time I have it, is very greasy. That's why I just don't think it should be.

The only reason it's this official sponsor is money. Is money. I don't think it should be like the only reason it's this official sponsor is money is money. And like, I don't know where they get the money. Cause I've also never heard of anybody buying little, little Caesars. I've never showed up to a party and there've been the box on the coffee table.

Right. Right. Amir. Your mic is out. No, Jeff muted him. see oh it's just he was like going off about fucking the ins and outs of little caesars and how greasy it is and it's taking breaks is really healthy and good i agree so i get it um what did you want us to go on about yeah like

I was going on about the topic that you shorned into the episode you're right and I never said greasy I said I've never had it I said the tagline is pizza pizza Jeff I think you said it was greasy

that's true yeah I guess I is pizza pizza. Jeff, I think you said it was greasy. That's true. Yeah. I guess I thought this would be more interesting. Like the energy is sour. So is the pizza. You thought an NFL pizza partnership shifting from Pizza Hut to Little Caesars would be more interesting?

I can't hear you. Yeah, now you're muted. What's going on Kat got your mic nice that wasn't very nice what are you eating on the show

I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show

I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show I'm on the show

I think it should have been Papa John's. That's my real answer. What do you guys think? No, Papa John's, the founder, is pretty racist, I believe. Yeah, but I thought he got ousted. I guess. But still.

I thought he was still there, the John. But also, it kind of makes sense because the NFL is also quasi-problematic, so it might have been very good. Yeah, they should be jumping at that. Yeah. That's a great point. We're thrilled to welcome Little Caesars to the nfl family said renee anderson the chief revenue officer and

executive vp of nfl partnerships with a focus on quality and convenience little caesars offers unmatched value for our fans and we look forward to working together to positively impact communities stop fucking reading the press release. It does not matter. It does matter. If it didn't matter, why would there be the article? Because the article is paid for. Kayla, you work in marketing. You understand how this shit works.

This is not actually news. The article wasn't paid for, but it's just like part of the announcement that the whole relationship was purchased. Right. And it's people who are, is in their best interest to talk about the pizza. And then the pizza people talk about the football and they say that it's a great fit.

The pizza people talk about the football. Exactly. Exactly. It doesn't mean anything. You shouldn't give them this airtime during the show. How much more would you have read? That's marketing. Just don't tell Martyy and co in that because

i want to keep my job um i didn't know if you guys had any fucking personal stories it's just talking points you know and then we'll go off into bits from there joel's angry for some reason he has the nicest looking bed i've ever seen in terms of how it's made he definitely made it special for the pot like that's not what it looks like every day right okay no it's true that's like that's above and beyond even like the lines on the bed are perfectly straight yeah they're nice no i do this every day is that a queen king that's a queen it looks larger from this angle right yeah because yeah we can see it goes from the top of bottom of the

straight nearly to the top you got the basketball pillow which is you know charming because you're now an adult man and the pillow is a little i actually also have a trash can that's a basketball hoop oh that's cool that is cool wasn't you who put basketball hoop on the East coast office request list? Yes. I'm not buying that. Cool. Whenever I'm like moving somewhere, I stuff the pillow inside the trash can and it's kind of like,

it's like a slam dunk situation. There's also a basketball in your shirt. But it's also space efficient. Yeah. What's your shirt? It looks also basketball themed. Space jam. Oh, okay.

Little Caesars is a perfect match. Oh my god, so not right ahead. 100 million NFL fans. So not right ahead. They're known for unique product offerings, like pretzel pizza, the Batman calzone, and now 33% more pepperoni. Who cares, man?

It does not matter. 33% more pepperoni. None of us have had Little Caesars. I think HeadGum can take something from this fucking partnership. What? Fucking delivering product offerings and promotions. Partnerships.

When was the last time we part... The Netflix thing fucking went belly up right we can't talk about that can we not no well it didn't fucking work out that's people already know that

yeah because of you because of me I did nothing I stayed away from the three weeks in a row. Really? Yeah. You said people know that. Yeah. Because of you, they know that.

Thanks. Well, the show never came out. If I had said nothing, it would have never come out. And there was an announcement. So don't put it all on me. It would have been there no matter what all i'm saying is that that one didn't go very well did it joel joel i'm not saying it's our fault

what you need to know is press releases are just for google trends purposes they mean nothing at my old job the head used to announce these things all the time and literally never follow up on it okay so it's always all a lie i'm just saying who could we partner with that's a good question sports wise what could we afford slash get to i mean obviously a jersey sponsorship would be cool but those are in the millions of dollars we probably can't afford that but what about is it worth getting like branded ads at like an mls summer baseball yeah yeah like the savannah bananas they're very expensive minor league because

they dance and they sell a lot of tickets yeah so they so they've been doing a lot of TikTok nonsense. They've been sort of doing bye, bye, bye after like a strikeout. They also hit the Kwan. And if they knew, I think they also might, yeah, they pitch on stilts. This is the Bananas? The Savannah Bananas, yeah. Glad you asked.

Is that a minor league team or is it like a Harlem Globetrotter-style exhibition baseball team? It's a collegiate summer baseball team. So it's like between college things. Interesting. Well, if the bananas are listening, reach out to us and we can work out some partnership. Jeff will go down, do something.

Jeff will go down on one of you if necessary. Joel, how's your sex life? No, don't use that as an in. Joel how's your how's your sex life it was last time you sort of had don't like use that as an in to now it feels like both of us are asking

mine was a joke and a side you don't have to like pile on that and start asking about personal details of company and for employees

it's uncouth it's illegal it's probably an HR violation to even ask and now Joel can't answer you're putting him in a

weird predicament a sticky situation i was just wondering how is yeah yeah i know what you're wondering how is your cock it's how's your heart it's what it's sobering oh that's cool you know that kayla's parents listen to this, right? Yeah, and they like you for some reason. Me? No, not you, Joel. How would they even know who you are? Amir thought I was on the pod. I did, yes. Yeah, her parents also

thought Joel was on the pod. Probably. Well, that's a glowing recommendation to keep doing what I'm doing. So, Joel, how is that cock, man? How is that cock, man? How is that cock, man? It's chugging along. It's fine. Everybody always

says it's fine. I first told you it was sobering. Yeah, that's true. Has anyone said it's chugging along before? Yeah. No. for yeah no if anybody ever cared to ask me maybe I would have said something like that really I will not ask yeah

my parents listen to this podcast and they're definitely listen to this episode oh yeah their favorite guest is on joel me where are we going just for ads nothing else 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.

We've talked about the Savannah Bananas. We've talked about Little Caesars partnership with the NFL. We've talked about Joel's cock. If you guys don't want me asking about your bits and pieces, then at least we should all go around and say how much we weigh. Then at least we should talk about how much we weigh that's the least we can do that is is talk about other personal details yes fine i weigh 160 pounds you're only 160 no i you have like muscle jeffrey do you want to start with a guess 160? No, you have like muscle.

Jeffrey, do you want to start with a guess? No. I'll guess Joel is a little under me. 154. That's about right. Maybe even a little less than that. But I'd like to put on some pounds, honestly. Why don't you and I meet in the middle at 162?

Like meet as in agree that's my weight or get to that weight? I'm 173. So I'd love to get at 162. I want to be in the middle. Yeah. Actually, what is that the middle? Yeah. 163.

My Rhode Island license hasn't been updated since I was a senior in high school. So it says I'm 100 pounds. That's not going to go with that. OK, now I think you, me and Joel should meet in the throttle. What is that? One thirty four. I don't want to be one thirty four. That would I don't even I can't be that.

Yeah. Like it's honestly asking more of Jeff. So the least you could do is gain 34 pounds since your high school graduation because now Jeff has to lose 40 some odd pounds. And that's going to leave him absolutely emaciated. Way fished. Malnourished, yeah. I did the, I have, sorry. I'll come up a little bit, not 34 pounds.

That's just. All right. You get to one 12. Jeff gets down to one 42. That way. Even one 42, I'd have to lose so much muscle mass. Yeah,

exactly. So you're sort of starving yourself. Right. You feel malnourished. I would be. I wouldn't feel it. I wouldn't. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sorry that I'm a woman living in modern society. We can't wait very much. It's a rule. I would like to be. Actually, that's really bad that I just said that people can weigh whatever they want. Thank you.

Fuck society. Thank you. Jeff, weigh whatever you want. Exactly. Um, yeah. It'd be cool to be Joel's weight. Everyone's perfect in whatever they weigh right now.

You all look great. Joel. Thank you. You're welcome. What's that? Joel is perfect. They're all perfect. Because we're all trying to be Joel. Is that what you're saying? Joel is perfect. They're all perfect. Because we're all trying to be Joel. Is that what you're saying?

Yes. Nope. Amir, how bad do you want to be Joel? I want to be Joel's athletic ability height. You're what? Six, even six one? I'm 5'11". Okay.

I'm already there. I'd like to have joel's age for sure just an extra decade plus on my hands of loving that hashtag good life yeah um eye color would be nice are those green eyes hazel yeah they sort of vary yeah jawline's perfection plus he's kind of like tall never mind never mind what was so offensive not even you would say it because he did just ask about his dick and then you made us all say our weight so where do you draw the line i'm questioning i was gonna say he's sort of one of those tall skinny white dudes who probably has a horse cock yeah so that's probably not as bad as what i thought you would sort of cut yourself off from saying i didn't want to say the word horse cock that's the way i draw the line

kayla if your parents are still listening to this i urge them to hit that fast forward button 45 seconds damn daniel imagine entertainment inks overall deal with the washington post let's talk about it um this is interesting to me first of all jill jake's wife uh works at imagine now which is imagine that um i wonder as well if head gum inks a fucking first look podcast deal with the New York Times, with the plane dealer. The Cleveland plane dealer? That one would be easy to get. Why do they call it that, by the way? The plane dealer.

Because they deal out stories of plane. Nothing happens in Cleveland. We're talking about it's because of the Great Plains. I'm pretty sure. No. And the dealer part. Cleveland was part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, which is not the Great Plains. I'm sorry.

I actually don't know anything about Ohio. So nobody does or should. That's why we shouldn't do it with the plane dealer. But it's kind of nice to say that we ink anything. I'd love to ink something. Yeah. What could HeadGum ink, Kayla?

We've inked a lot of things, but we just can't talk about it yet. We've inked Marty's arms. We've got a really big summer ahead of us. We've got a deal with Squid Game. Yes, we should ink a deal with Squid Game. That's good. With Squid Ink.

Oh, that's really good. We've done deals and we've had press releases, but I feel like it never has the word ink in the headline. Yeah. Okay. Can we sort of commit to that right now in the room? Yeah, that's really great feedback. I'll bring you in on those meetings

and I'll make sure to include the word ink at the next press release. I don't want to be included though because that's extra work slash meetings for me. My insight slash suggestion has already been delivered and it's sent to you. And I feel like you have the authority to now push that through.

So for example, what was our last press release? And what was the headline for it? For head Gumball or for Gumball? Neither one. I think Violet Benson joining Gumball was our most recent one. So that could have been Gumball ink steel with Violet Benson. No, you're right.

And by the way, I love never receiving feedback from you ever, except during a podcast recording. So let's keep's keep and it's always ink based yeah always this is it's got to be ink yeah we ever refer to ourselves as like head gum ink like head gum incorporated oh because then you can actually work into every single press release that's good i think because we were an llc for so long we were yeah rarely an ink but now we are head gum ink inks deal with ink company and then we talk about an ink company that we've yeah that we've partnered with so ca brokered the deal to create scripted and unscripted film and TV content inspired by the Post's archives. What pod, like, if we're gonna sign a deal with some kind of publication, what kind of podcasts are we looking for content-wise at the moment that, you know, would be helpful to have access to their archives?

have access to their archives uh what about the uh national inquirer so it's more like um ostentatious insane sometimes fake news that we can sort of base our stories

off of i like that a. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. We could also do Hollywood Reporter or Variety. Let's get Joel, do you mind taking the lead on this? Do you want to make a call? It's sort of like what Amir did to Kayla. I'm going to execute on it. Yeah. Just a reminder though, Joel did knock out the

entire site for 15 minutes. So do you want him leading projects i also brought it back that's true that's true was breaking it back just pile brought it back is it just a matter of hitting edit undo or does that not work in programming uh it was slightly more complicated more like a redo i guess i see he had to rebuild yeah joel is smarter than all of us yeah pile thinks joel is really smart and i trust pile yeah national inquirer headline james khan looking for a gal he can't refuse um two-fisted godfather gangster james kan is on the hunt for new romance and a great new role at the ripe age of 82 he's flunked

at marriage four times this could be kind of a dead eyes thing like you know old man wing man James Caan was so hot when he was young yeah he was like it could be me and James Caan

or Johnny and James Caan trying to find khan love at the ripe old age of 82 and it could be called the long khan that's even better holy fucking shit wow this is that shit this is that shit that we would never ever come up with if we didn't have the overall deal if we didn't have the first look agreement we could even debut it in Cannes oh my god they don't do podcasts

but like that's it's the same thing it's like the long Cannes but debuted in Cannes yeah it makes sense but they don't that film festival doesn't do podcasts let's keep perusing the national inquiry mean girl amanda seyfried's hooters horror i don't want to read that one. You already did. Seems like the bad part was already under your belt. Is it about owls? It is not.

Then I don't really want to hear it. Crusader. No, that's sad. A lot of these are about boobs. Sex sells. Is that true still, Kayla? Yeah.

Pope. Jesus Christ. George Clooney goes loony for wife Amal's sexy new look. Say that one again. George Clooney goes loony for Amal's new look. I mean, she's gorgeous all the time.

I would be loony 24-7. Yeah. They almost got a divorce, apparently. Who has it? Brad and his wife. Sorry. I feel like we're veering off from what very little you had planned, right? What was it that started with...

It was like you were just reading news. You were reading press releases or something and now you're just sort of... It's like a news episode. I thought we would talk about headlines and wax about them. I see. But now we're just reading inquirer headlines.

I would kick your ass if you didn't sign my paychecks I don't think he does oh okay so when are you free did you guys see Ryan Gosling as Ken yeah I did Gosling's been gone for a while I am very excited that this

is his comeback it'll be great he looks shredded yet again crazy stupid love style but probably even in better shape Joel what do you think I don't know what you're talking about you said he was coming as Ken or as Kin

as like a Ken doll in the Barbie movie oh I thought you said as Kin I wish no this Barbie represents the first time the toy has been rendered as a live action that's interesting why is Margot Robbie Barbie

she's not that attractive like does anybody think margot robbie can pull that off she's a she's a troll is that safe to say isn't she famous for being sort of an uggo or something like that i mean look at this picture they're doing the best they can but it's it's not gonna happen right for Margot do you guys think that she's what did you read what what did you read I don't understand where you got to this end

if anything she's hyper sexualized by media sorry I'm thinking about somebody else there's a national inquirer takedown piece yeah you called her a troll you called her why would you do that sorry body positivity yeah well i mean sheila you were trying to get me down to 130 132 earlier so i don't know if you can stand yeah that's about if it's positivity thing

well then i told you you were perfect the way you are yeah but it's placating me i could compliment mark i could say Margot Robbie has like if I had to like compliment her I'd be like she has scroll back up again she has like a really nice eyes or something like that you don't have to compliment her at all

about her appearance you don't have to mention it yeah I just felt bad you have a thing felt bad you also love Joel's honestly Joel would be a better Barbie at this point also you yeah I mean you're constantly like at my throat especially on this show sometimes

over text and maybe it's all because my eyes are in bad health right i thought you've been working on that though i am and how's that going they're fine they're better than they used to be um what else is happening in hollywood bob hart's abishola hmm are you guys caught up on that show shut up for a second because you're not talking you're just scrolling

so I thought I would fill in some of the silence but then you told me to shut up just shut up for a second Gina Price Blythewood Blythewood you're not doing anything it's like you're

killing time before the podcast starts yeah this has nothing let's go to variety it's gonna have the same amount of nothing it's just headlines this is like the same exact thing as fucking,

who is Ria Seahorn ever? This isn't what you're supposed to do during the show. What am I supposed to do? I had an emergency. What was it? I can't say. I can't say. So now you're just like the equivalent of reading a tabloid

before a dentist appointment. Like you're just like the equivalent of reading a tabloid before a dentist appointment like you're barely getting through individual headlines there's no way we can have a conversation about that well you guys don't want to talk about your weight your fucking bits you don't want to talk about joel's uh actually we did talk about his apartment a little bit yeah we also did talk about our weight partnerships we don't want to talk about the apartment a little bit. Yeah. We also did talk about our weight. Partnerships, we don't want to talk about the Savannah bananas, and you don't want to talk about fucking first look deals. So that's what I had prepared,

and I think that that's usually enough for an episode. You know, Marika probably would have driven it. That's the issue. She's out of town. I'm fucking falling apart. That's clear. Everybody was worried about the company falling apart. I'm having a nervous breakdown.

It is funny that Marika on the last episode was like, I'm going to trust Jeff to upload the podcast. And I think it wasn't uploaded, right? Correct. You did not do that. I did do that. I uploaded it. Because it wasn't online. I uploaded a draft.

The video, yeah. And then it was scheduled to be uploaded. And then I added the file. The video, yeah. And then it was scheduled to be uploaded. And then I added the file. Not everything was okay. But apparently you have to schedule upload after you upload the file. Right. So what you're saying is you didn't do it. Yes, but it was in the effort of drafting the clip on Monday

so that everything's good to go. It's okay. Lesson learned. Now you know. Yeah, now I know. It's a learning moment for you this is not good this is not good at all spotify cutting back hiring forecast by 25 so another headline yeah i just how the bunch of companies are losing employees i guess because there's a recession afoot yeah yeah oh this is just this is just great how the hell are we gonna sell for 200

million if spotify is cutting back their workforce let alone fucking acquisitions i'll tell you how gumball replaces the jobs what gumball would allow them to lay off more people. I really don't feel comfortable positioning gumball as a solution for layoffs. Really? Yeah. So let's not push that narrative. Sort of like automate stuff that people don't want to do so that people can do other better things. Really?

Yeah. Can you do the train noise now? Um. Do you guys know of any three bedrooms on the east side of Los Angeles are you guys all sticking together yeah we are you said your current one is a four bedroom

The room specifically has a bunch of yarn all over the place. Oh, that sounds great. Well, my roommate works in the fashion industry. Oh, that's cool. Joel, let's hear about your roommates what about them what do they do how are their cocks well we were just talking

start with the second question we think we stole a chair actually from our neighbor expand on that um yeah there's a little there's a little like recycling room on each floor uh whenever i pass by on the way to my apartment i take a little look to see if they did anything good being thrown out we've gotten some good art from there two days ago there was a great sort of teal chair shaped like a shell which i nabbed and put in my apartment and then yesterday my roommate simone said that he actually

thought he saw someone moving in right there and that actually the chair was just the first thing that they brought up uh and it's in our apartment are you gonna take it back uh i mean we want to return it but we i how does one go about that i think you just be i mean because there's also there's also a chance the chair someone else was throwing out the chair yeah well hopefully they listen to this podcast there's no way there's no way they listen Joel's a chair thief am I still a thief if I return it

let's say you get arrested for stealing something but then you return it is it still a crime yes because you were arrested arrested for stealing something, but then you return it. Is it still a crime? Yes. I think so. Because you were arrested and found guilty, it seems. Also, are you returning it after your arrest, or is that it's just getting returned?

I'm returning it before the arrest. I think if you come clean, that should absolve you of the crime, yeah. Yeah. All right. So I'll return it then. Wow. I'll knock on their door and ask them if they lost a chair on the move. Lost. Yeah. knock on their door and ask them if they lost a chair on the move lost yeah yeah
