This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. I have to clean it up because of course there's fucking sauce and fries all over my front yard. And then I throw it away and then I text Jeff, Nice, you got me. Animals ate $40 worth of food that you sent me and didn't tell me about. And he goes, major bag alert. Did you read the receipt? No, I didn't read the receipt.

Just text me a fucking joke. You don't have to spend $40 to write it on a card that someone delivers to me. And I never read. What was the receipt? Major bag alert. Amir needs headphones. He's not ready. 13 minutes late is my threshold.

He was in a waiting room it's your fault wow yeah I wasn't ready this is all too sudden this is all too subtle it's not I'm gonna have to like come back

and leave and go and like deal with other shit now cause you didn't want to wait do you guys know about uh huddle so we're just straight into it it's like that uh high school football no it's like a high school football highlight reel for people who aren't ever going to be recruited um so my pitch is subtle sudl.com and it's like highlight reels where you're not really showing any overt athletic ability, but the intangibles are off the charts. I thought you were going to say, you're not really showing any ass.

When was the last time Brad showed crack? Did you think that rhymed? Brad Street crack. Did you think that rhymed? Brad Street crack. All right. We're really into it today. I was just telling Brad and Angelina, or sorry, Marika, that Brad and Angelina.

Sorry, I'm just like, I'm living in the Hollywood Hills now, so it's hard for me. I'm Angelina Jolie now. This is huge. Angelina Jolie. I was going to tell Amir that I was talking to you guys about how I didn't get a lot

of sleep last night, but I have the highest energy I've had in weeks for this show and otherwise. Did you say the most or least? What's that? He said the highest, so obviously you should know what that means holy shit bring in the heat today angelina bring in the amir what was like what was last night like for you in the uh in the bloom and ash household

uh i played online poker with my friends as i've done every sunday since the pandemic started okay uh did you are you up i won last night yeah no not money i mean like you up like am i awake sure this is the highest energy you've been in a while um yeah it was until i started talking to you it's fine brad yeah take it away more specific i need a little help i need a little help because you want me to host the show a little bit like just chiming in keeping the flow going because i feel like amir's already coming with this energy he like was in the waiting room for a while he said i didn't see a notification pop up on zoom there's no way i could have known marika was also in the waiting room right

no no i was in here listening to them to talk about... Listening to them to talk... Oh, my God. Listening to them... Oh, dude. We got to start over tomorrow. We were talking about watches. That was easy. Yeah, we were talking about watches.

Brad's... Look at that dog. Yeah. Brad's a hoarder if not a boarder of dogs and she is a collie boarder or otherwise a Jacob Collie

or Collie's name a Dave Collier it's your fault Jeff I didn't do anything i have shit prepared amir i asked you how your night was in the bloomin ash household you said you did online poker you said you were up and then i asked if you were awake and somehow that's that's where that's where it went off the rails yeah how fucking so i'm not gonna have this by the way i've been having i've been experiencing a lot of career success outside of the podcast that i'm not gonna talk about

no you should because you need hard proof really what have you done well well i've been like thinking about a pilot okay that's cool that's cool but i wouldn't say that's career success right really because i'd have to go to like aviation school oh you're not you mean actual being a flyer of a plane you mean or at least a flight attendant that seems from my limited research a little easier the issue would be that you're kind of on the plane for multiple hours a week and I can't take that time away from this show. Because even when I'm not recording this show, editing this show, or outlining

the episodes, it's all writing. It's all material. So I'll go to a diner and I'll have breakfast for dinner and that's me working on the show. That's billable. I'll put those hours on my fucking time card. I wouldn't. What wouldn't yeah we're definitely not paying for you to go to a diner that's true but let's take it one step further all right ken

keezy style i'm at the diner i'm talking to somebody about the show and i just put that onto my time card as a company expense that gets taken off taxes at years end. No. Really? Yeah. You can't expense food. Yeah. Travel for the show maybe but you have never done that. But if I go to like a fucking Juno right? If I go to a Tempe that's all material.

The show doesn't happen with Where's Juno? Alaska. Alaska. You think you'd go to there for the show? I mean, Maggie Rogers did a Knowles trip and it kind of got her a hit record. I wonder if I do a Knowles trip and I get a hit record.

Oh my God, that was awesome. That's good. That was really fucking good damn it speaking of omega uh i think i'll go lee pace yeah i knew it i knew it uh just sticking outside the bun for a minute. I would go Pace, Lee. How so? Marika, who you got? Yeah, well, can you unpack that a little bit?

Why Lee Pace? It just feels like he's in the ether slash zeitgeist, and it does seem to be the summer of Lee. Yeah. I'm using ass in like old Wranglers with the Lee logo it's the summer of Lee I forgot that was

Gene Brand the Bruce Springsteen ass shot no I saw bodies bodies bodies recently and Avital loved Lee Pace and she's like I've always had a huge crush on this guy and now he's back in this i guess she liked him and pushing up daisies and i'm like oh yeah pushing daisies

i've never really heard of this guy and then all of a sudden marika makes him his oh no marika made lee pace's photo her slack biopic profile pic so i'm like maybe this is the summer of Lee he's everywhere I'm always changing out my slack photos for various men in photo shoots and I've never known who they are until this one I I think we all need to pace ourselves

with Lee because you know he was on Game of Thrones he was on in Bodies Bodies Bodies and I feel like that's a little bit too much he was on Game of Thrones. He was on Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. In Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. And I feel like that's a little bit too much. He was in Game of Thrones. What's that? He was in Game of Thrones. Who are you thinking of?

Did you see Bodies, Bodies, Bodies? Marika, did you like it? I haven't seen it yet, no. But I'm scared of horror movies. So I'm a little worried I'm going to be scared. But my friend said that it's not that scary. Yeah, it's more like a comedy Pete Davidson style cool young

kids doing funny drug stuff style screw funny drug stuff what do you mean they're having like it's like jokes about fucking yeah who sorry what did you say Angelina Sorry, what did you say, Angelina?

What did you... You thought he was on Game of Thrones, but who were you thinking of? It was him, but he was in The Hobbit. Yes, he was. And fun fact, Ian McKellen outed him and Richard Armitage when they were on The Hobbit. As in he's gay and he's like, I haven't told anyone that yet?

Yeah, they hadn't come out. Was it like a retributive act? Is that a word? Retributive? No way. I was just going to let it pass. Two more extra syllables for sure. It's retributive.

Retributive. Retributive, yeah. Roger Ebertutative. Roger Ebertu Thumbs Upative. That's good. What was it? What? It was kind of good.

Anyway, no, it was... You'll allow it. No, Ian McKellen was doing an interview and just casually mentioned that they were young. He was like, and the young gay men working on this film, it's great. And they hadn't come back.

Okay, so it wasn't retributive. No. Retributive? No. Is it possible for there to be a gas leak in a zoom call because now i'm getting it what's happening it's a computer virus yeah well i was talking to lena mariko asked me if i uh had any symptoms lingering from my third bout with covid and i was like i think i have a little bit of brain fog but also i haven't been like sleeping that much and i've moved and you know so i'm all turned around

i wake up in a room that i'm not used to i'm you know last night i got four hours of sleep and then last night also before that i was uh i cooked dinner and then i was like painting in my living room shout out art and uh george walks in he gets home he walks into the kitchen and he walks into the living room he's like hey just so you know like there was a burner on in here for like a minute so i was right yeah and so he's like just in case you feel a little gassy and i was like well it'd be gassy in more than two ways then that's good what'd you make for beans for dinner really i was asking you i made uh oh my god I made uh did you guys have nothing fancy the Alison Roman

cookbook that everybody has just say what you made fucking asshole you made the stew no she has this citrus soy scallion salmon and citrus soy scallion salmon it's sort of a citrus soy scallion salmon

it's unbelievable you can make it in 20 minutes Brad and it's oven? stove top? saute on the stove top with the citrus soy you make the sauce on the skillet

skillet sauce with the citrus soy salmon and you make the salmon in the skillet Skillet sauce with a citrus soy salmon sauce And you make the salmon in the stove Salmon in the stove or on the stove? Salmon on the stove with the skin The fucking sauce The salmon's in the oven and then you're glazing it every five to ten minutes with the sauce You're simmering the sauce with the citrus soy salmon

with the scallions The salmon has skin on Oh yes, sauce on the skin. Or do you first say on the skull? Skin side down. Skin side down. Skin side stove? On sarchment saper? Yeah.

On saran wrap. Alright, and uh... Melted plastic? Yeah, also not good for you. It's unbelievably good. You can make it in 20 minutes. Highly recommend. You don't need the cookbook to get it.

Just look up citrus scallion salmon, Alison Roman. Just hold down the letter S on your keyboard. Until a snake emerges from your fucking laptop. Any sides? Salad? Seaweed salad? Wow, seaweed salad on sides? Seaweed scallion salad?

This is the funniest bit that's ever occurred on this show. It's basically meant for three-year-olds. This is a fucking children's cookbook and we're dying. Yeah, like a baby would be like... Yeah, because all the sounds are same with similar sounds with the soy salmon skin the sauce on the side and a salad um i i had a good tweet the other day i'm just gonna blow up my own spot here for a spell i'm gonna have babies did he say bye yeah i say he said he was going to head out.

He got hungry. This is just a plug. I'm 200 away from 10,000 followers. Babies really only eat sides until they're like four. That's good. Are we still doing Bond of the Week? Yes. What's your Bond of the Week?

Oh, you. Me? Jeff is? Jeffrey James. Oh, nice diversity hire. Oh, you said you've been having a lot of wins career-wise. I figured. Throwing you a bone.

It's time for a clumsy, dumbass bottom. Thanks for lobbing me up. I guess I'll be on a veils and then come second to my pick, which is Margot Robbie. It's time for abing me up. I guess I'll be on a veils and then come second to my pick, which is Margot Robbie. It's time for a James blonde. Um, I'm going to go with my pick. Uh,

let's go Matt Smith. Cause I'm looking at a photo of him right now. Who? I think he's not handsome enough. The old Doctor Who. I don't know if you can be Doctor Who and James Bond. That feels like you have done too much. And you're playing Princess Diana's...

Or not Princess Diana. Fucking the Queen of England's old husband. Darius? That's your old husband. Darius? That's your last straw? Darius? You're on the crown as is every other British person. Darius King?

Darius Rucker? Who did the blowfish? I don't know. Matt Smith was in American Psycho, the musical, playing Patrick Bateman. I feel like that's sort of in line with James Bond. Like, cool, kind of weird guy. Yeah. Let's move on, for sure.

Do you guys have any style swerves that you want to incorporate into your steez on the reg slash rag? I just bought a pair of red pants. Perfect for what I just said. Oh, God, man. Red pants. Crimson? You want me to get them?

Yeah. Show and tell. I also just got some new pants that are printed. They have a print. Daniel Johnston. Is that a brand? No, it's a musician. Here, I'll go get mine too.

Everyone just leave. Okay. I can go get my... Actually, yeah, I do have one. Oh, boy. This is kind of a Marika Takes the Reins. Oh, no, Jeff is back. And I don't really have anything to say.

This is the perfect segment for Amir to miss because he would just bring back some like linen shorts. Those are very fun oh check the pants man where'd you get those from vans like vans the shoe company or uh-huh yeah those are fun thanks these are these are my red pants thanks these are my red pants those are cool yeah they're work pants got a little flare to them

a nice deep pocket big bud press big bud press that's an LA brand my friend works there yeah they just opened a storefront in New York so I went to try on a bunch of stuff for once green point oh it's a Lower East Side

90 something Orchard Street oh shit he's back hmm it's kind of like Jesusy yeah I was going more for like a God what's his name from Almost Famous? Patrick Fugit.

There's no way. I've returned to say that. Fuck, he was right. It's not the actor I was thinking of, but it was Patrick Fugit. I'm going to head out for another 15. Yeah, that makes sense. Coming back for one more Fugit? I'm going to head out for another 15. All right. Yeah, that makes sense. Coming back for one more Fugit-based joke.

You know what? Why don't we just say Fugit and move on to the next thing? What about Patrick Fugitive for a segment for next week? Sorry, is it called the Amir podcast? No, is it called the Jeffrey podcast it's called the HeadGum podcast great I'm on HeadGum let's all work together then

what about investing in art did I miss anything or was that all so apropos of nothing to you two no we showed each other pants. Yeah. Well, here's my question. Here's my fucking question is why would anyone ever buy the original of something?

Right? Like a print of a Jasper Johns is the same thing you're seeing with your gaping eyes. Not really, right? Really? Well, Jasper Johns, like, I mean, I don't know. You probably get the original because you want to see up close the artistry of it. Yeah.

But I was painting last night, and I basically ripped off Jasper Johns because I wanted to see them. Wait, is this the same paint as the living room paint? Yeah. You weren't painting like art. You were just coating your walls. No, I was painting art.

On the wall? Nobody ever said anything about the wall. You said painting in your living room and we know you just moved so that's why we all, or at least both Amir and I assumed you were painting your house. I was with you. Okay great so yeah we're all fine. What the fuck this is insane.

Were you making dinner or is that also a weird thing that we misunderstood? I was scalding scallions on the wall. I was painting salmon. I was eating Taco Bell. Taco Bell. Can we see the painting?

Forget it. No it's too earnest. I'd like to see it. It's way too earnest. It's fine. I mean, it's not like saying anything. I just did stream of consciousness art, but this is insane. It's fine.

It's right below. Who do you guys think he did it with i wonder if he's like seeing someone you know the painting yeah i mean i don't know i feel like art should be for yourself first and foremost but i can't imagine he did it by himself it feels like a date night thing and like yeah and the salmon yeah yes exactly he's not just having it he's not dating himself right yeah although a date night thing. And the salmon. Yes, exactly. He's not dating himself. Right, yeah. Although we all should.

We all should, but he doesn't love himself that much. I'm so fucked. Why? Who did you... Why am I doing this? You're sort of muted. I can't hear you anymore. We can't hear you. Sort of sort of muted. I can't hear you anymore. We can't hear you. Sort of a weird

time to lose you. Should we do a crit of this? What about now? Now we can hear you. I direct Jasper Johns and Matt McCormick rip off. Further. I already made one further reference on this episode

too so I might have to cut that out so it doesn't seem like I'm only reading one book which is true Jasper Johns are you saying that because it's like the lines the primary colors yeah and then Matt McCormick because of the

sort of beige red and black of it all who did you do art with? that's a little personal yeah so was the artwork and we eventually got it out of you a close friend okay

say more no did they take their piece home? no I'm not showing theirs it's a nude of you it's a nude on it's a nude day and I'm feeling

nude what about forget investing in art what about investing in cash so like parking your assets in, honestly, liquidity. That didn't make sense. No, it's like people always talk about assets. Oh, we do have to take a break, actually. Dude.

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, start with AG1. Try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D3K2 and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase exclusively at drinkag1.com slash what's that? Again, that's drinkag1.com slash what's that? Again, that's drinkag1.com slash what's that? Check it out. People are always talking about parking their cash in investments

and assets that might appreciate in value. But the strength of the US dollar increases every year with inflation. So I wonder if you just park your cash in other cash. The strength of the dollar increases with inflation? Or is it the exact opposite?

Well, theoretically, if you have $7,000 today and then next year, that's worth less, yeah. And that's increasing. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, Upka bopasadit. Let's talk about vile viles. V-I-L-E space V-I-A-L-S. Research.

Did anybody catch that? No. V-I-A. VIALS research. Oh. Yeah. I wonder how many listeners got that. Probably under 4%. Okay, so what about a vile vile of ALS for research? Vile vile.

Andrew vile. Just try to focus, man man you're all over the place alright this is the last part of the wax segment did you guys hags have a good summer yeah summer's not over yet feels over I'm hagsing at the moment though

we have summer Fridays for at least two more Fridays do you guys do you guys stick by the don't wear white after Labor Day thing We have summer Fridays for at least two more Fridays. Do you guys stick by the don't wear white after Labor Day thing? Or are you not in vogue? But I also don't wear white bottoms that often. Oh, it's only for bottoms? Yeah. Or like full,

full body outfits. It's not really about t-shirts. So you can wear a white t-shirt in November. That's fine. It's totally fine. But like Brad's pants, that would be a, that'd be a bold choice.

Interesting. For September. Mm-hmm. Haven't thought about it. I feel like we didn't spend enough time on vile vials how else could we have it was nothing really it was a nothing burger instead of a 50 burger uh i thought i mean we've been doing the show a couple weeks where we haven't even talked about anything going on with the network.

And I feel like there's a lot going on. So I thought that we could have sort of a, not necessarily a state of the gum because that's for the fall, but you know, what's going on. What are y'all specifically working on that you can talk about that? You're excited. Let's start with Marika.

I mean, I feel like, yeah all right whatever um i was just gonna say i feel like if i talk it's gonna like all of it's gonna be over it's just gonna be me talking then let's just let that unfold we don't have to like start and stop um corked just released which we're really excited about uh the second episode will be out when this episode comes out so you should listen to it if you haven't already uh we also did our first like in studio live stream last week which was pretty cool and hopefully we can do more of those down the line um the new y York studio is almost finished,

so hopefully in the near future we'll have some recordings in there. We thought maybe we were going to have one in there last week, but then Jeff canceled on all of us and then recruited Brad and Casey to record the podcast, but didn't tell any of us until hours after we were set to record. Naturally. Just wanted to slide that, dig in there.

What else are we doing? What else did Jeff mess up on? Keep your eyes peeled on various feeds because there might be a bonus pilot episode of a podcast coming. Is that the one I'm thinking of? Dare I say mere days after this comes out. Yeah.

So it is the one you're thinking of. And hopefully we can continue making that one because I think it will be fun, hopefully. Yeah, absolutely. and we're doing headgum sketches hopefully gonna start doing some of those on the east coast which is really exciting yeah um we're also going to be doing a live show in the backyard on September 22nd. There's no ticket link yet, but stay tuned for that. Hopefully there will be

more info. Who's doing that show? I'd rather not say. Nobody's confirmed, but we are going out to some interesting people. I think there are a few confirmations, but we're still finalizing. Some of these people's fees are unbelievable.

Yeah, yours especially. I mean, I got to afford these watches somehow. It's the only thing I care about. Rick, are you going to be in LA for that? Yeah. Marty gave me the okay to fly out. Wow. See you there. And that's going to be an expense. Yeah, and one that's allowed for sure.

Unfucking believable with Marty. I'm sorry. What do you mean? He just never, you know. He never okays your expenses? He never okays my expenses. He never okays my extravagant purchases that I... Yeah, I guess just expenses, huh? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. All right, we got to move on. Here we go. Welcome to Fauci's next chapter. Yibbish. Didn't need that for sure. Didn't need to add that. Do you want to start it over?

Yep. Uh... welcome to fauci's next chapter oh you're gonna like this one somehow works so fucked this is not how it's supposed to be going already This is not how it's supposed to be going already. Welcome to Fauci's next chapter. Coming at ya. Let's keep it moving. Keep it moving. Fauci.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he will step down in December to pursue his next chapter. Acting? I mean, Vance is 81, so I don't know what other next chapters he's planning on, but it does feel like he should maybe just chill, maybe move to Maine. But I thought that we could maybe kind of pitch some ideas to Anthony of what his next chapter could possibly have.

I have one. Okay, yeah. Start us off. I think you should take Improv 101 at UCB. And Marika, that was my first pitch. I want to see Fauci at Cage Match. Fauci on a mod team. Honestly, mess hall.

Or whatever they call it in New York. What about a Fauci podcast? You never shut up about podcasts. It's like, oh, this person should do this as a podcast. This person should do that as a podcast. And it's always like half as a joke. Like it's fucking played out a little bit. I think Fauci should do that as a podcast. And it's always like half as a joke. Like it's fucking played out a little bit. I think Fauci should do

get ready with me videos on TikTok. Oh, wow. Get ready for the day. He's putting makeup on in front of a ring light, but talking about a fucking date he had last night. Covering up cigarette burns on his forearms. date he had last night covering up cigarette burns on his forearms you know my father didn't care too much for me um who was that that was my fauci you always call me out on my fucking impressions i'm not an impressions guy i've never claimed to be. I've never claimed to be. So don't go for it.

What about Fauci as like a gap jeans advocate brand ambassador? You know, instead of like slouchy fit, it's Fauci fit. Oh, God. With like a 10-inch break. Instead of slouchy fit, it's Fauci slit. That's, I feel like Dr. Fauci is an Adam and Eve ambassador. The sex toy company. Yeah, he's sort of latex clad at the stock room.

Zipper on the crotch. And on the stock floor. Zipper on the crotch. And on the stock floor. He's ringing the bell, dressed head to toe in pleather. Wearing the Gordon Gekko watch. Brad, what do you think could be good for Fauci's next chapter?

I don't know. Children's television. Sesame Street. Oscar the Fouch. Wow. That's good. There you go. Oscar the Fauci. Wow. That's good. There you go. Oscar the Fouchy.

I'd love to see Tony in a garbage can. What the hell is that supposed to mean? I mean. Is that a threat? He's spreading lies as much as I spread legs. We're going to get another CDC warning on this. Okay, yeah. What about a CDC warning warning but it's like um

yeah yeah yeah it was gonna be too blue and not funny uh what about fauci as a flight attendant just in terms of like how hard could it be what's the second time you've brought up being a flight attendant? Really? Yeah. Have you looked into it? Are you intrigued? Thinking about a career change?

Attendant hours. What about salary? Do they get paid hourly or do they just get paid a lump sum per year and they have to hit a minimum? I'm on Glassdoor right now. It looks like they're not salaried, but they're celery-ed, so you can basically eat all the catering you want.

Fuck you guys! You think this is easy to do on a weekly basis? I'm sorry. We're pitching new jobs for Anthony Fauci and you're yelling at us that we're not doing enough?

No, he's yelling because we didn't laugh at his celery joke. Rocky Horror Picture Show Actor. Let's see Fauci and Fishnets. Okay. I think he'd do it.

I think he could. I just don't know if he has, because I'm pretty sure he has gout. Gouchy. Gout. Let it all pouch. Any other pitches, Amir? Fauci

as a fucking debutante. So he's 16 years old in the South. He goes to a cotillion. He's wearing the fucking gloves. He's debuting. And oh my god, look at this. It's the bell of the ball. It's Anthony frickin' Fauci. Yeah, it's the bell of the ball it's Anthony freaking Fauci yeah

it's sort of his coming Fauci party exactly he's ready to enter the world as a southern charmstress but he's back to Brad I don't know debutante I'm kind of stuck on that

picturing those those thighs in that dress. VO artist. So it's EA Sports. It's in the game. But it's Anthony Fauci. So it's like EA Sports. It's in the game. It's the new EA Sports pickleball game.

Oh, that's good. And Fauci's doing commentary. Actually, he can just do sportscaster i assume he's a mets fan or something like that he strikes me as a mets fan is he jewish anthony fauci or does he just give off yeah jewish great uncle vibes i think he could give off color commentary on like the mets so he's like calling first of all it's a card, but he's also calling game. He's spitting game, really, at the players, the crowd, hitting on everyone hither and thither. I think he could be a gallery curator.

Just imagine Anthony Fauci wheeling and dealing in the art world. That is the first piece. Dare I say that's the centerpiece of his first gallery exhibit. So it's an instant fail. It looks like he's a Jesuit. What? Yeah.

What about the Verge editor? So he's recommended social distancing. He's recommended vaccine. Now he's recommended social distancing. He's recommended vaccine. Now he's recommending portable speakers. Yeah. I guarantee you he does not know how to pair a Bluetooth. I come to you with a new recommendation for the wire cutter there's an impression thank you thank you that's good thank you thank you thank you yeah no but it's really important that you find

a pill headset that pairs wirelessly with your phone. Okay? And then like, fucking... I wasn't done. I was gonna say Rand Paul keeps talking about like wired connections and he's like, oh, again and again with this guy with the wired connections. Maybe, but maybe it wouldn't have gone that way. Not maybe, it's definitely maybe. What about Gigolo? Or rather, Gigoldo, right?

Because what if Fauci was a straight-up whore? A lot of people would say that he is. Not me. Jigoldo. Jigoldo. Finally, Vegas. What the hell is your problem? Vegas residency, all right?

Brittany, Elton, J-Lo, Anthony. Anthony. finally that was your problem vegas residency all right britney elton j-lo anthony elvis it's him doing like the greatest hits of like the pandemic years after the fact so it's like you know people want him to play the hits they don't want the new stuff so the new recommendations about like other you know pandemics um it's him being like, six feet apart! And then everybody's like, yeah! This is like 2027. Oh, I thought you meant he was going to be singing the greatest hits of the pandemic. So like TikTok songs.

Or like We Are the World or whatever they did. Oh, I just looked into that song. Do you know who wrote that song? No. So I just went into some sort of a rabbit hole about the we are the world song well it was a music producer's idea and he asked michael jackson to participate and jackson's like oh i want to write the entire song and so he did it with lionel richie in his house in Encino, not too far from where I grew up in 1985. And then he asked all of his famous friends, recording artists, actors to be in it. And they all said yes, except for a few notable exceptions. Eddie Murphy, for one, who was singing,

making a music video for Party All the Time, declined the offer. And most notably, Prince couldn't make it on the day. Instead, they got about 50 other of the top recording acts in the world to sing this song for U.S. aid in Africa to aid an Ethiopian famine that was going on in the early 80s. And it raised close to $70 million for the efforts. That's pretty cool for a song. You're talking about making a difference. That's as quickly and efficiently as it gets, from writing it in January and recording it later that month and releasing it in March of 85, a two-year-old me moved to the States not two months after that from Israel to not very far from that house

where We Are the World was scribed and recorded in encino a house off of havenhurst avenue um just south of ventura so that's sort of the 30 000 feet view of the entire what went on that what was going on in the zeitgeist of that time yeah but in relation to your life which sucks but not but you're nothing I was tangentially

also tangential I thought it really centered the story for me yeah so I think it centered you guys it made it more relatable yeah cause you guys It really centered the story for me. Yeah. And it brought her to me. It made it more relatable. Yeah.

To know that Eddie Murphy wasn't there. Dan Aykroyd was too. And Bob Dylan, right? Yeah, Bob Dylan was there. Paul Simon. Let's make like Dr. Fauci at the pleasure chest and let's talk plugs. Marika what do you have going on what do you want to point the people to
