Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. Three non-whites. Yay! Three non-whites. Yeah. We did this with Johnny. We did the all-person-of-color episode, but I'm saying that we've never had three.
Starting point is 00:00:23 You know, we literally, we did an episode with you, me, Johnny, and Amir. Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Starting point is 00:00:39 I thought Amir was brown wednesday july 13th i don't know if we've ever recorded on a Wednesday, Casey. I've never done this on a Wednesday, no. Casey Donahue on the podcast officially, not just behind Mike. People can see your beautiful mug and my God, the wood paneling behind you. I brought it up off air, but I just saw it again basically
Starting point is 00:01:23 for what felt like the first time. Choice charming vintage details in an apartment, no less. It's only one wall. Every other wall is, you know, standard white rental apartment walls. But, you know, how can you beat this one wall? It looks like you're in Big Bear. It looks like you're in Big Bear. It looks like you're in Lake Arrowhead. That's the vibe I'm going for on Zoom specifically.
Starting point is 00:01:51 He's shooting Glendale for Tahoe. Oh, that's good. Marika, let's talk about your back. You messaged us on Slack saying that the pain. That your back was whack. Yeah. Yeah. I'm currently bedridden.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Sitting up. In a way that's like I'm still in pain, but maybe this is like the least painful. I don't know what happened. pain but maybe this is like the least painful i don't know what happened i think i um yesterday yesterday i was like relatively fine was dealing with some pain woke up this morning got out of bed and then immediately my entire leg my leg started cramping uh like just everything on one side of my body hurt and i had to go to physical therapy and the only position that was not painful for me for some reason was if i stood on my good leg and i bent over so that my other leg was in the air so it was like a t
Starting point is 00:03:00 that was the only position that didn't hurt so i was like biking to physical therapy and then like any time why didn't you just cancel it because i was like maybe he can help me but i couldn't sit so i was like biking and then like every block would have to, like, mimic that position while on my bike and, like, lean over the handlebars. Oh my god. I finally got there. We couldn't figure out any other position that was comfortable for me. And then, like, finally, after he, like, we tried cupping and, like, all kinds of stuff, I was, like, laying down relatively not in pain. So I just laid there for
Starting point is 00:03:45 30 minutes with heat packs on. And then I got up and then I was okay. I was like, I was able to walk, but I was so scared that if I stopped walking, it would hurt again that I just kept walking. So I walked truly half the way I walked so far. And then I was like, maybe I'll try biking. And I biked a little bit. It was fine. And then I got like three blocks from home. I was like, I got to walk again. And then walking hurt.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And then that position that was good also hurt. Oh, it betrayed you. Yeah, absolutely betrayed me. So I got home, was like relatively fine. And now it's kind of like if I move a certain way, I might spasm. But for right now, I'm okay. I got my doctor on the phone. Tell me, I want to know about the spasm.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That's like being seized with pain where you can't really move because you're afraid if you move, it'll hurt more. You can't really move because you're afraid if you move, it'll hurt more. It's like every muscle from my lower back to my knee is cramped. That's the pain I'm experiencing. And then my foot has felt asleep for three hours. The best part of a decade because i'm and at one point when i was walking my leg did feel on fire um no it was fine it was hot out um i got my doctor on the phone finally after like frantically
Starting point is 00:05:23 calling being like i'm in so much pain can i just talk to her on the phone finally after like frantically calling being like I'm in so much pain. Can I just talk to her on the phone? And now I have a lot of medication to take. How I'm going to fly to LA next week is anybody's guess. Will I be there? Who can say? Will I leave my bed tomorrow? That was like the button says to be continued I thought that was a different
Starting point is 00:05:48 sound but I was like oh what if this is the promise of more anyway yeah that's why I'm blurred background I have follow up questions based around treatment methods have you taken to the baths
Starting point is 00:06:09 have you soaked i have not soaked but that also reminds me that i saw a tiktok that was like um the bath house in williamsburg is the worst place i've ever been it made me think of you and Micah. It's one of the, it's one of our favorite places. Yeah. Yeah. We're probably the guys that make it bad.
Starting point is 00:06:33 It's like the equivalent of going to the YMCA. No, it's, it's, well, it's like the YMCA, except if it were a club, it's like,
Starting point is 00:06:43 it's kind of like the W hotel, but all baths. Yeah. I think it's like the YMCA, except if it were a club. It's kind of like the W Hotel, but all baths. Yeah. I think it's great. I've not taken to the baths, though. Okay. I think when you're feeling like you can walk or ride, let me know, and I'll take you to the bathhouse because we've got the cold plunge. We've got the hot tub. We have the neutral pool.
Starting point is 00:07:01 We have the sauna. Excuse me. What's so funny, Jeff? The neutral pool? What is that sauna. Excuse me. What's so funny, Jeff? The neutral pool? What is that? Just like a cup of water? It's a tepid bath for when you've had too much heat, but you don't want to get in the cold, but you don't want to leave because you paid $200 to be there. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:17 For the day. That's day use. For the day. Okay. So, yeah. They have the sauna. They also have the tropical sauna. I'm still talking. And they have the sauna. They also have the tropical sauna. I'm still talking.
Starting point is 00:07:27 What makes it tropical? There's a little bit of steam in that sauna. There's a little bit of pineapple on the side. I thought sauna. The steam room is all steam. Sauna's a dry heat. Sauna's a dry heat, but not the tropical sauna. That's a little bit of a moist heat.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Then the steam room is a steamy heat. Then you have the... You're trying to cut me off? You also have the hot marble stones. The hot marble stones, I was going to say. By the way, that's what Tobanyaki is grilled on. You're talking about a Japanese barbecue house. Warm marble stones, I should say.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But it's hard to say warm marble i want to go to a salt room what's that been to a salt have you ever been to a salt room what's that i've never heard of a salt room yeah it's like a room made i don't want to say made out of but like covered in pink himalayan salt. And I think it's heated and it's supposed to be pretty healing. I've been to one of those, but it was a store in Santa Barbara. So it was like a salt room,
Starting point is 00:08:33 but everything was for sale and you could just kind of buy the rocks. But I really think you should take to the baths. I think that would... You'd like to assault my room why it's blurry how's that worth $1100 a month or whatever you're paying
Starting point is 00:08:56 I'm not paying that it's really small and messy so that's why it's blurred but you can kind of see my shelf of binders that full of women yeah uh they hold a bunch of playbills oh my god at this point i'm so i'm really sorry to say what I'm about to say. I feel like the back is a sunk cost, and you can afford to still go out tonight
Starting point is 00:09:31 and get your back thrown out. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? No. Well, I want to break it down a little bit, because you're saying my back is bad. Arguably, my back is thrown out currently, but you're saying that I can still leave my house and get it thrown out more or that getting it thrown out again would be the same as now. The back's already bad, so you can go find a honey.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You could go find a lover in a a lover you can't make it worse yeah as long as i can't really walk well i'm limping in my foots asleep right but you also have the an excuse to not be a generous lover in terms of pain and so like you don't have to be good in bed you can just be in bed with a bad back or i could be i can i can be in bed with a bad back without doing anything because that's how i'm currently how i currently am legs spread into a t as if you're doing a tease i think they'll love these ideas. Jake, are you in chronic pain still?
Starting point is 00:10:51 Thank you for bringing it up. I love to talk about pain. I love to talk about other people's pain. But more than that, I love to talk about my pain. So let's get into it. Yeah. I recently developed something that I believe is called decurvanes syndrome. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Is that a self-diagnosis? It's a self-diagnosis, but my dad helped me with it because he had it also. And there's apparently just like a really simple test you can do. So like I have just joint pain right here in my wrist. It's very acute. And everything feels fine. I can do push-ups i can like lift weights i'm not really like in pain but when i do this motion like almost like shaking a hand it's severe pain all along the side of the wrist and apparently the way you test for it is you like cross your thumb over you do this and you just turn you
Starting point is 00:11:46 might feel a tiny little pinch you feel that tiny little pinch yeah yeah for me that is excruciating pain so and it's really weird because like i can basically avoid doing that emotion all the time except for like a few little things that you just like do all of a sudden where you like you know you don't really realize it i was what yeah i've been i was on vacation for two and a half weeks i didn't wash any dishes and then we got home and i picked up like a dish in the sink to wash it and it was just like shooting paint on my entire i was like, Jillian, I can't help with the dishes. This is what I'm saying. Use your chronic pain to get out of others' ways.
Starting point is 00:12:33 That's right. That's right. Casey, pain? Yeah, that's my pain. I was in a lot of pain up until recently. I broke my hip skateboarding. And I was using a cane for a while. Ollie frontside nose grind goofy footed? Ollie Baba frontside nose slide.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Pop shove it. Yeah. Back to Trey Flip, back to his hip being broken at Cedars. Yeah. Yeah. Kickflip. That's exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:13:04 No kickflip. I can do all that but yeah kickflip that's exactly what happened no kickflip i can't i can do all that but the kickflip uh but yeah i was walking around i was walking around on a broken hip unaware that it was broken then i went to the doctor i was like i fell skateboarding i think it's a real bad bruise and then he took an x-ray and was like, this is a broken hip. Yeah. You need to stop walking immediately. And then he took an x-ray and said,
Starting point is 00:13:31 you don't skateboard and your hip is fine. I really needed that doctor's note saying that I broke it skateboarding. He helped out. So no, but it was. Yeah. Yeah. And I i still i walk weird now i got like a little bit of a swing in my hip a skip in your step you're just a happy guy yeah yeah i think sway hither than thither left exactly right yeah and now i think i look way cooler and when anyone asks why do you walk like that?
Starting point is 00:14:07 I say I broke my hip skateboarding. Pretty cool. It is cool. Yeah. When you were using the cane, did you ever kind of like lift it above your head? I would point to stuff with it a lot. Okay okay so you were raising canes yeah there we go yes um any pain jeff no dry eyes yeah just dry eyes aesthetically red uh slash unpleasing to thine eyes. Mine have been drier than
Starting point is 00:14:47 let's say Bakersfield thighs. In that when you're chafed in the Central Valley of California, that's as dry as it gets. And that my eyes are twice as nice. They are getting better though. LASIK helped a lot. Shout out to
Starting point is 00:15:03 Dr. Arthur Benjamin. Such a basic name no one will be able to find that doctor he what he lacks in like a creative name he makes up for in giving me xanax about 30 minutes too late so that i'm fully awake for the surgery. They did that for me too. They're like, here you go. Here's a Xanax so you can relax before the eye surgery and now come into this room. I'm like, well, this isn't going to hit until my wife is picking me up in an hour. My friend AJ picked me up after the surgery.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Jake knows it. Well, you guys, Marika and Jake know AJ. And it hit as I was getting home basically on the way home and i just kept like swaying back and forth and being like i don't like this drug man i think it's solid it felt like the world was ending to me it felt like i was dying i wonder if it was xanax that seems like a that is not how you're how you're supposed to feel on it at all. They did say that we ran out of Xanax, but we can get you some in the next 15 minutes. And so it was probably cut with fentanyl.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And you're recommending this doctor? Yeah, they bought it off the street. Anyway, I'd be remiss if we didn't get to our Bond of the Week. This week, my Bond of the Week is Mortgage-Backed Securities. Say more.
Starting point is 00:16:43 One of the most interesting types of bonds. i'll have a dry mbs monthly payments not semi-annual coupons i'm surprised they haven't chosen a new bond at this point just so this segment can end. What are they waiting for? They simply have to announce it, right? Yeah. They said it's going to be a while.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yeah. That was like a recent thing. But they said it's going to reimagine the franchise. Great. Can't wait. My Bond of the Week is fernando alonso oh nice how come the finger wag at sonota cheeky yeah yeah definitely that one uh no i think he i think he just fucks some shit up good probably get sneaking around. I'd actually pitch Alonso for the
Starting point is 00:17:48 villain, because they are usually a little more brooding and have a different accent. They're always Spanish. George Russell. Yeah. George Russell would be Bond, because the Kingsman cosplay. I see George Russell as a villain.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I agree. I hate George Russell. I see him Russell as a villain. I agree, I hate George Russell. I see him as a Formula One villain, but I do see him as Bond. He's classically British. He went to the rescue for Zoo. I mean... What?
Starting point is 00:18:19 Did you not... Jeff is in a Formula One chat with us and never responds to anything we say. I've missed the last three or four races because I just haven't been able to wake up for them or I've been traveling. So I just feel like I have nothing to contribute. I would miss them too if I were a McLaren fan.
Starting point is 00:18:36 By the way, I was on my honeymoon and I watched both the races. Yeah, he really did. Your honeymoon? He was responsive. He sent us photos of Ferrari merch. And he didn't have to do that. Here's my thing.
Starting point is 00:18:48 There was so much Ferrari stuff in Italy. I might admit the defeat in that you guys were correct. I hate rooting for McLaren. Daniel Ricciardo's bad at driving. And he's about to switch to TV anyways. You have to pick a new team. Ferrari. All right. Welcome. Ferrari. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Welcome. I like Haas. I always liked Ferrari, but it wasn't my team. Yeah. Right. I like Haas. Yeah, Haas is good. I like Haas.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Me too. Yeah. Casey. So Casey's recently gotten into Formula One after we told him about Drive to Survive. Yeah. What do you think? Casey, what's your team? Oh, man. I think I really like Haas. drive to survive. What's your team?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh man. I really like Haas. They're the most fun. I like the middle of the grid. That's where the action is. A lot more overtaking. Yeah. Five cars going through a turn.
Starting point is 00:19:42 That's where you learn who can drive and who can survive. But I guess at the front of the grid, I like Ferrari. I can't root for Red Bull. Something about the
Starting point is 00:20:01 Red Bull vibe. The whole organization. It comes from the top. I think it's Christian Horner. He's such a little dickling. He'd be a good Bond villain. He's the inner man. The perfect Bond villain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 He would be a good Bond villain. Yeah. God, he's great. He's very hateable. 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

Starting point is 00:21:02 I'll have my AG1 and then 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.

Starting point is 00:22:12 What What did he say? What publication is this from? That is going to be I believe from the guardian no it's from page six and she may have run out of things to report on she may be starting a clothing line but she also may not be as first reported by the sun not the news
Starting point is 00:22:41 don't get angry at us hayley has filed a trademark application to sell clothing and non-medicated skincare preparations in conjunction with her new entertainment brand hayley jade llc i frankly would like to see a crossover between the beauty line and this entertainment branch like what if there was a euphoria under eye cream? I can't believe you stopped an interesting conversation for this. Something that we were all interested in, even you, is Formula One. Yeah, I love it. I feel like we have to contain Formula One to five minutes per episode
Starting point is 00:23:21 because people do complain. Who complains? They complain because we're not talking enough about Hayley Mathers. I know nothing about Hayley Mathers. People want me and Jake to start a Formula One podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I want to be a part of it. Actually, Danny Rick might be a part of it too if he's not driving next year. Yeah, I mean he lives in LA in the off season in Beverly Hills actually I have the address Shawn Mendes needed to slow

Because, you know, he went through a pretty public breakup with Camila Cabello. And a lot of people online bullied him for being in that relationship to begin with.

Starting point is 00:31:35 I needed to come up with another segment and I thought that this would be fun for people to watch me sweat. I've been playing online chess recently. And I thought that I would be fun for people to watch me sweat. I've been playing online chess recently, and I thought that I could play against one of you. You guys can elect who's going to play. I will send you a chess.com link, and let me look at what I wrote down. For every pawn you capture, I will text somebody that I hooked up with that I'm on good terms with. For every rook, knight, bishop, I will text someone that I dated that I'm on good terms with.
Starting point is 00:32:10 If you take my queen, I will text someone that I dated that I haven't spoken to in seven years. And if you take my king, I will text my longest term ex that does not like me at all. This is called chess for for Texting Your Ex. That's interesting. Yeah. You guys know I got stung by a jellyfish
Starting point is 00:32:32 when I was on vacation? No. That's horrible. Yeah. How bad was it? It was pretty scary. It hurt a lot and it was very scary. It was a little...
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah, it was a shock um yeah it was a it was a shock it was a surprise had you ever been stung by one before i had but not like that i'd been stung where i like got out of the water and i like felt like something was stinging i was like oh i must have swam through a jellyfish this was like i was swimming and i the, and it was just like intense pain. And then I like spun around. I screamed to Jill that there was a jellyfish. I swam for sure. It was shameful. All right, we've got the game is up.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Who is going first? I'm black, Casey's white. Okay. Casey's going first. Yeah. So Jeff's name on the chessboard is Goss Branham and Casey's is Theodore Fernando.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Yeah. Beautiful. Okay. Fuck. Okay. Casey's opening move. Pawn to c4. Jeff's pawn to e5. This is really bad.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Ooh, here comes the horsey. Excuse me, slow down. There is Jeff's bishop, I believe, to b4. Jeff, I would not have done that. That is suicide. You just that you've never played chess casey i believe that's check there's no way no yeah that's no that's it's not check at all very nice here comes that horse nay nay Jeff. The knight is out to F6. Casey counters with a pawn.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Horsey moves again on Jeff's board, E4. Very good. Where'd the pawn go? It's gone. One of Casey's was captured, but no one needs to be texted. Gotcha. Jesus Christ. Why did he do this?
Starting point is 00:34:47 I don't want to talk to any of them. Oh, Jeff retreats on the night back to F6. That is a coward's move. You are frightened. You are shook. Casey, it's time to mount the attack. Very nice. Pawn pawn forward A3. Now let's see if Jeff falls for the trap.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I don't think he's dumb enough to fall for the trap that Casey has laid out, but let's see what his move is. Well, don't tell him about the trap. Yes, excuse me. We'll see what Jeff decides to make of the board and he's falling for the trap that is you don't know what's happening this is truly only for the video watchers i can't talk and do this because i don't this is awful there's only you're scared yeah he didn't fall in the trap, but he's trying to set
Starting point is 00:35:47 a trap for me. You guys have no idea what you're saying. Nice move, Casey. Thank you. Knight to C6. I'm running out of time, though. Oh, yeah. This game is going to end in a minute
Starting point is 00:36:07 Isn't it? No I don't think so I think you guys only have Three minutes total I thought that was per turn Oh okay It's a dangerous game Chests can sometimes last for hours
Starting point is 00:36:23 What if this turns into a real stalemate? I would love that. The stakes are so high. Usually sacrificing a pawn is good. Wow. Alright. The first pawn is down.
Starting point is 00:36:43 One pawn has been captured. This isn't bad, actually. This is texting somebody I've hooked up with that I'm on good terms with. Okay, I'm texting somebody who's a close friend, actually. What should I say? Okay, so let's pretend we'll text them something like it's almost like you're texting a doctor about the location of a rash. Okay. So you say, no, just above the thigh.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But on the outside. Raised redness. But the itching has stopped perfect beautiful yeah thank you great nice all right does it say delivered did you confirm it did good good good good we're already at minute 40 there's no way livered? It did. It did. Good. Good. Good. We're already at minute 40. There's no way this is gonna work. You have 22 seconds left on your game. I didn't know it was my turn.
Starting point is 00:37:55 That was the trap. Wow. And Jeff moves the pawn to h5. Fuck. Another bishop has been captured. Alright.
Starting point is 00:38:16 You have to text an X, right? Okay. First person just responded saying what are you alright? So, I guess I respond, and I just ceded my time. Game over. I guess let's just continue with this conversation then. We only have like three minutes anyways.
Starting point is 00:38:39 What do you want me to respond? Casey and Marie, what do you guys think? You should say, sorry sorry that was for goss branham well yeah it was the idea that you were texting a doctor and it's and you messed it up yeah i'd say continue to engage as if you were still talking to the doctor. Oh, that's good. So she said, what? Are you all right? That's what she said? Yes. What? You all right? Yes, the itching has gone down, but I feel like the redness is getting a little bit deep. But the redness is getting more of a crimson or something like that.
Starting point is 00:39:21 a crimson or something like that. Yes, the itching has gone down, but the redness is becoming more crimson. Perfect. Wait, can I edit slightly? I already sent it. Okay. Tell me what the edit would have been.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I was just going to suggest saying that it's starting to spread lower like a crimson river. Should I act like that's happening in real time? Yeah. I said, shit, it's spreading downwards in a crimson river of boils. You escalated too fast. Yeah, the boils are are gonna give it away now she's gonna know you're doing a bit
Starting point is 00:40:08 okay I fucked this whole thing up I guess yeah well now you have to text now you have to text the ex because Casey did also before this game was over capture the bishop I did capture that bishop but it's an ex you're still on good terms with which I have two of
Starting point is 00:40:23 I'm gonna one or two two okay X you're still on good terms with. Good terms with, which I have two of. Okay, great. I'm going to, one or two? Two. Two. Two. Okay. What do I say? We're on good terms, right?
Starting point is 00:40:42 Savage. I cannot say that. So you're not on good terms well i don't know not with two not with that text also oh can i do anything else sure yeah i'm not gonna make you do it no i'll do something equally bad i just can't do that what if could you do we had fun right this is not even gonna be good for the show because she's not gonna respond fast because she has an android okay fine what if you just text a picture a picture of your face and say should i cut my hair but it's really close and it's just your eye my phone's dead i have to
Starting point is 00:41:33 your fucking segment it was your idea to play chess and to text your exes we captured one pawn and then you're and you texted one person then your phone died you wouldn't text I don't think it should be your eye I think it should just only be your hair like the end of your hair that's good just the split end
Starting point is 00:41:58 yeah let me just hang on oh god and maybe like hold it up like you're hang on i have to delete this is so embarrassing okay oh my god oh my god hold the end of the hair a little bit we have to play these other videos so it looks like you're showing it to camera
