This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. You see that radiator right there? That's a nice even heat. It's a nice even heat. There's a little bit of moisture in that because it's a steam heat. I want a canned heat. That won't get flagged let's talk about johnny for a second um villa what's new in the life and times slash what's new in the villa villa because you're you're in your place in new york

yeah fucker uh this is awful i this is not how I wanted to start my week. It is Monday. We're recording. Yeah, we're recording on Monday morning. It's Thanksgiving break. Mind you. Yeah. Not in a way.

It really was Thanksgiving break. lighting on fleek dimples adorning my cheeks all four jesus christ Jesus Christ Is that like all four F-O-R Or all four of us F-O-U-R It was all four Cheeks and dimples Oh I was wrong on both accounts

Yeah No my new apartment has great lighting And I don't know if you guys know this, but a big part of your appearance is the light that you're in. Right? So I used to record from a basement. And I looked like garbage.

And now I'm kind of feeling myself in a way. I haven't shaved in a while. But also my hair is a little dry. Yeah. Something's in my teeth. You don't look any different, by the way. We've got a stacked cast today. We've got Kayla Moriarty, Amir Blumenfeld, Marika Brownlee, and making her HeadGum podcast debut is English Provo.

Oh, no, it's not Provo. Oh, no. It's not Provo, man. Yeah. No. Got it wrong. We don't work together at all. This is all taken from English Prevo. There you go.

On Wordle, you'd be like close but there would still be one letter left to get right but no cigar you could have played it off as like knowing English lived in Utah because Provo is a place in Utah yeah

I was gonna do an entire segment about English being in Utah and so I only lived there for five years let me clarify that oh you did actually live in Provo I didn't live in Provo I lived in Salt Lake okay so you didn't live in uh

Taft like she said Salt Lake City it wasn't it wasn't anything other than Salt Lake. Asked and answered. It wasn't Taft.

No, she said no. I've never been to Taft. We're doing this. I'm going to go get my medication that I forgot to take. Was it Draper? Is that code for a beard. Was it drool? That's a good call. Is that code for a beard? And it wasn't tool.

Do you have a map of Utah right now? We did a sketch once where it was like, I was guessing, what was it? It was Pictionary and Riley drew a picture of an apple and I'm like, oh, is it Ogden? Is it Ogden, Utah? Is it North Ogden? Is it Taft? Is it West Jordan? So that's a deep cut for the listeners.

English, what do you want people to know about you? You and I barely know each other, if at all. Yeah, we met at the offsite. No, it's kind of it. You live and work in New York. Yeah, I'm in Brooklyn. Whose team are you on? I'm on the marketing team. And Kayla, you said you're having a terrible day. Correct.

Thank you. I wonder if it's like multiplying negatives if this will turn the day around and it is we should say 4pm your time 4.30 so your work day is basically over check in with me at the end of this and I'll let you know okay I said physically an 8

what? you just sent something that somebody cancelled your order or something oh yeah oh yeah was that like a secret? You just sent something that somebody canceled your order or something. Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Was that like a secret? Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Okay. Kayla can explain this. Yeah. You should have come in heated. Oh, you don't think I yelled at them in this email? Don't even worry about that. Hey is this Danish interior design company that I love and many of us do.

And so we ordered all these really awesome things for the office back in June and we still haven't gotten it. And after repeated attempts to get in contact with them, they finally emailed me back and said, most of our order is out of stock. And so I really went into them. Those Danes better fucking watch out because I am not in the mood. I just want colorful crates for our desks. I almost started crying in rage. You pronounce your C words like me. I say crying and crunk. What? What?

What other way are you going to pronounce that? Amir! What? What? What? People have recently. A mirror. People have recently told me that I like pronounce my C words with like a.

And you just did it. That means nothing. What you said. What are you talking about? What's the alternate way of saying crying? Crying. Marika, say crying. Crunch. Crying.

Yeah, that's the normal way. I don't hear a difference. My point is that, Kayla, you and I are like O positive. You know what I mean? I'm actually A negative, but yeah. Right. I don't hear a difference at all. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry. That was easy. Still got it. I figured we'd skip Bond of the Week this week. I mean, like, right? Yeah. Why?

That's a good idea, actually. So loud. Do you guys have any bonds of the week? English, this is a segment where we lob up our casting choices for the next James. Gender neutral. Ideally white.

I have one. Take what we can get. Mine's not going to fly then. Again, just based on the fact that I take what we can get mine's not gonna fly then again just based on the fact that I currently have a photo of him open for some reason gonna go Winston Duke who's that

he's M'Baku from Black Panther he's like really stacked pretty hot wasn't he in Get Us as well yes he was oh wow is he British stacked. Pretty hot. Wasn't he in Get Us as well? Yes, he was. Oh, wow. Is he British?

I don't think so. He's a gorgeous man. Yeah. I'd back that choice. Thank you. Yeah, sure. I thought you meant Clark Duke. Which is my choice, but thanks for stepping on it. That's really funny because mine is Clark Gable.

That's also really good. He is dead, but I wonder... Zombie version. Zombie Clark Gable. This is... You know what? I'm just going to make this my pick. Clark Duke is my Bond of the Week.

And if you guys don't know his name you know his face oh sure yeah he was in greek one of my favorite shows of all time yeah it's time for a um a fine bond like someone who could should be a CPA, but instead they work for the CIA. FBI. Like one of the armed IRS agents. Yeah. IRS agents carry heat?

Some of them do in financial crimes. Have you not been paying attention to politics lately? It's a whole thing. The Mar-a-lago thing or what not that but that witch hunt yeah yeah we don't need to get into it um english we i i brush past you introducing yourself to me in the audience what what do you want everyone to know, including me? I'm the lead graphic designer for HeadGum. And I work with Kayla and Marika. And we are a powerhouse.

Yeah. Did you work on the pit wall art? I did not. I think that was Grayson. It was Grayson and me. Grayson started it. It was good artwork. Do you have any notes or concerns, Jeff?

I thought it was great. I have a question. May I ask it? Why did you choose Casey to be the center? I love Casey, but I'm just curious. I didn't choose that. It was basically Grayson handed the files off to me, but i would say probably because he's the lead producer so i kind of uh pushed him into being also the host love that and that's why he's up front also he deserves the limelight yeah i'm sorry to bring

it up again but also like ethnically it's symmetrical I literally said the same thing to Marika yeah so it does look good yeah it works I love ethnic symmetry too it's important ethnically

symmetrical you said it's nice that way to have it boom boom boom boom the more you talk about it the more awkward it gets for sure and that's why i'm moving on conversationally to the next topic i'm like sorry i get kind of nervous around English. Why? Just because she could technically and ethnically fire me. English, now's the perfect time to ask for a raise. You can't say no in this moment.

I'm not responsible for that, but yeah, I'll talk to somebody who can potentially look into it. 115K, four weeks paid vacation. We technically have unlimited. We have unlimited. How about 115 and a senior in the title instead of lead? And a house in the Hamptons.

And a house in the Hamptons. I had some talking points first of all gold toned jewelry versus silver toned jewelry gold I'm allergic to silver I used to be adamantly silver and I've embraced gold recently but my wedding band is silver

and I love it I was also adamantly silver in like high school and then switched to gold I like hated yellow gold for a long time. So I don't know why I'm commenting. May I make an announcement? I'm getting my cartilage pierced on Friday with a gold earring. Wow.

That's exciting. What's taking that upon? What made you decide to pull the trigger? She decided yesterday in the office and made the appointment on the spot. Cartilage is your top of the ear, right? I'm not thinking of something else. Yeah, that's really big for me because I only have regular ear piercings and that's it. I'm not cool, but I'm trying to get

cooler. She decided yesterday in the office. Don't do that. Not while I'm here. Not in front of me. That's my Marika impression. That's really good, actually. If you're going for an impression, it's pretty spot on.

Somebody commented on the pit wall thing saying Marika has spoiled child energy. I'm like, Marika works harder than anyone at the company. I can't stop thinking about this. I will talk to my therapist about it. I know that it's not true. It's not true. It's not true, and I know that, but I'm like, what do they think that is?

Yeah. What defines that on a F1 podcast? That's a good question. I mean, not to get too into it, but they were talking about lando norris and i fully understand that with his personality okay that's fair that's spoiled child yes he does but you don't match that energy at all like yeah no it's shocking that you like lando for the that reason yeah i mean i don't know i think he's fun I think he's like a good character like in the same way I like Christian Horner as a character

even though he's like a villain I like Lando Calrissian is that the same? that's a star probably less spoiled energy having not seen any Star Wars less than Nora's

yeah yeah having not seen any Star Wars. I don't know. Less than Norris. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well. So gold-toned jewelry seems to be the trend. I ask because I've been sort of transitioning into the gold of it all. This isn't real gold, but...

It's such a tight band. What are you talking about? It looks like your wrist is being pinched my hand is purple I saw a TikTok recently this isn't that interesting but I thought it was kind of cool that I guess like a lot of the big jewelry companies

or like the direct to consumer jewelry companies are pretty cheap gold stuff but you can get like gold filled jewelry on etsy pretty easily never knew that that was crazy yeah well this isn't that interesting then don't say it i mean isn't that a major key alert usually um but also i feel like you should live by that uh wow

can't make money off this episode anymore How does it take pizza topping? Don't say pineapple Right? Like what we like or we don't like Yeah Like something you like that might be controversial In a way Can I say pineapple but say pineapple and onion together?

Oof No I think you can, right? I think she can say it. I mean, free speech. It's fine. Yes, exactly. I'm not mad at you for bringing that up.

I disagree with the idea of it, obviously. I disagree with my other one, too, which is black olives. Yeah. But I'll fight for your right to say it. As in pro? As in pro. Imagine you with a group of people in the pizzeria, waiter comes by and then you say,

I'll order for the table, pineapple and onion. I would never do that. Everyone on board, right? I'm the person at a pizza place that's so stressed out about everyone else ordering meat pizzas and then me wanting an equal amount of pizza that I can eat that I have to take over and plot everything for i feel that except i have to have gluten-free or i'll die

so i have to make sure that where we're going is something i can have and are you pro or anti-black olives uh they're not my favorite but i'll eat them on a pizza uh my hot take thing that i like would be, I like eggplant on pizza. That's a great hot take pizza topping. Grilled eggplant is good. I've never even heard of that. There's a place called Fornino's in Greenpoint. It's an Italian spot, but they do their own gluten-free stuff.

Yeah, and they do an eggplant veggie thing. I don't know if this is a hot take pizza topping, but I'm going to say hot honey. I love hot honey. With wine. Let me finish with wine. Like hot honey wine? Like a hot mead?

Are you dunking it in? It's gluten-free dough, so English can have it. Okay. Tomato sauce, four cheese blend, hot honey, and wine. Okay. I'm sorry. Are you pouring wine onto the pizza?

What kind of wine? All we care about is the wine. Are you talking about having it with wine or to put wine on the pizza? Thin ass crust. Imagine we're at Polly G's. Okay. We're at Polly G's okay we're at Polly G's in Greenpoint

famous for hot honey right amazing marinara three to four different cheeses this is all gonna go into a wood fired oven hot honey wine put in the oven I just need more info on the hot honey wine is the hot honey and wine like mixed together as a sauce

or are you pouring wine on top of the pizza I've never heard of hot honey and wine mixed together as a sauce? Or are you pouring wine on top of the pizza? I've never heard of hot honey wine. Are you putting a bottle of honey wine into the wood-fired oven next to the pizza? How is the construction of this? I feel like I've built

it my own for you guys twice. Here I go three times. Thin crust crust unbelievable marinara four to five cheeses yeah hot honey drizzled on top i don't know how anyone can say no to that wine into the oven i just can you just slow down on the wine part what are we talking about that's the last step is it like a reduction is it a reduction

no it's wine into the oven no you're not putting can we take a break and like take an actual break not like one of those quick half breaks like I need a commercial to unwind from this conversation it's poisonous.

Unhoneywine. Oh, that's really good. Yeah, alright. We'll be right back, I guess. Yeah. 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, it's AG1. That's why we've partnered with them for so long. So if you want to take ownership of your health, start with AG1.

Again, that's drinkag1.com slash what's that? Check it out. All right, this is my real idea that I wanted to run by you guys.

Dessert pasta. Okay. I don't eat any. Nice. So pasta dough. You make the pasta dough as normal. And then you add some vanilla extract and some brown sugar or just normal sugar. I don't know which would work better.

You press out the pasta. You boil it. And then you make separately a Nutella sauce. Toss the noodles with the Nutella sauce, which is basically the taste of hazelnut chocolate, but thinner. And then the meatballs are Ferrero Rochers and then the parmesan is grated hazelnuts it's grated

cheese I thought that it was going to be like a pretty loose concept but you're just pitching a dish yeah tomato sauce is kind of sweet, so it's not

actually wrong to do that. Peanut butter and jelly exists, so why can't you have peanut butter and jelly, but instead of bread on pasta? I worry about the consistency of the pasta with brown sugar. My biggest hang-up is the noodle part of it.

You should be putting a little bit of brown sugar in your tomato sauce to really bring out the flavor of the tomato. So it's not that crazy. Okay. Hot taste wise, but like the consistency of the pasta. That's the thing I'm worried about. This is also the only positive note that's like trying to help me out. Everyone else is like, that sounds disgusting.

Nobody said that. No, he means me out. Everyone else is like, that sounds disgusting. Nobody said that. No, he means his friends. Like other people, he's told. Everyone else I've told in real life. This is a dish that I'm going to make on Labor Day, I think. Seems heavy for a 108 degree barbecue. Can you explain? Please document this.

Actually, Jeff, can I pitch kind of an alt for this? Can you save it for the end? What? For the end of what? This is a perfect conversation extender. Yes, yes, yes, yes. During plugs, can you just say what you want? Have you seen like, I feel like fried ravioli, that kind of thing?

Sounds awful. A St. Louis special. It's great. It's really good. Pan fried or? You're just dropping the ravioli. Like, it's not breaded. You're just dropping it into a fryer.

But you could bread it. You could bread it. But going off of that and the fact that like the noodles like or the pasta dough gets bubbly and crunchy in that case you could do a little gnocchi instead of uh the original pasta or sweet potato gnocchi is just like basically yeah or like a pumpkin gnocchi almost like a sweet pumpkin pie gnocchi. Instead of cheese, it's like slough or marshmallow or something like that. Brown butter, sage, and sage. I only want to do the Nutella linguine with the Ferrero Rocher meatballs.

I was, okay, here's- A tiramisu lasagna. Basically, I was just going to say, instead of mixing the sugar and the vanilla into the dough you can do it like how you make a um a cinnamon roll and like roll it so it's like striped through and then fry it and then do all your other shit that you want to do or what if you make like tagliatelle out of like a phyllo dough and then do melted butter and cinnamon sugar? Is this a cooking podcast now? I think we should try all of these.

I don't want to dominate the discourse of the podcast and also your schedules outside of the show. But I wonder if on Labor Day we all make a dessert pasta. I'm running a half marathon that day. I will not be cooking. No, great, you got a carbo load. Yeah, exactly. You do that the day before. And what better way to do that?

Welcome to Ask Jeff. This is like Ask Jeeves, but instead of it being like a search engine thing, it's going to be you guys, ideally, in an ideal world, telling me real issues of the day of your lives, and I will fix them. This has echoes if I were you, but that's okay. Like an advice podcast? Isn't Ask Jeeves more of like a search engine like

i'd be like what's the population of new jersey and you would say yeah a certain yeah yeah it's it's more specific than advice i want your problems and i'm gonna fix them entirely and it might even stretch beyond the scope of the show where I'll fix it over the next couple of days. Okay. Like Amir, if you had like a house, I could fix that. Actually, I'm having an issue with my shower. One of the showers. Yeah, let's get into that.

It's warm at first and then it oscillates between lukewarm and then back to the hot. Okay, well I can come take a look at the water tank. It's a tank thing i think there's like a part within the shower i forget what somebody said but it was like the receiver receiver yeah yeah not the receiver but well it's not exactly that but it sounds like that something in the handle that you it's got to be something called yeah yeah the regulator yes something like that regulator that's right Something in the handle that you switch from hot to cold. Yeah. The regulator.

Yes, something like that, regulator. That's right. Really? So you'd have to look to see which one I have, try to replace it and see if that helps. Well, is it a, I mean, what kind of shower is it, right? Is it a bear? No.

Is it a... You mean the shower head? In the shape of a bear? what what's the brand is it uh slipstream not sure you don't know the brand of your shower i don't even think you showers have brands i have a bear are you talking about the shower head yeah not the shower. What's the brand of your floor? Original, 1924, hardwood. What brand of shampoo do you use? I actually equally have a company complaint.

I like bougie soaps. I will spend a lot of money on hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash because I like to smell good. What's your favorite? Well, I've done the Aesop thing. I've done the Lollabo thing. Both great. But this time around, I was like, these are very expensive. Let me get something still fancy but not as expensive so i got the flamingo estate shampoo and conditioner

double pack which is this local la like brand that's based out of this mansion uh that like and all their products are made from things from the garden uh so it's it's like natural which i didn't know and so i started using it i was like great this smells amazing. The bottle looks nice. I like to have it in my shower and display it. The conditioner dries my hair out more than the sun. Oh, God.

You stopped using it. I have. I've started just stealing my roommate's stuff. And theirs works great. It's like this biotin and collagen thing you're yelling at us just fucking relax and have a conversation with us chill no i was saying argue i know what you're saying you it's so combative we're not saying anything and you're raising your voice but what i'm gonna do i've decided is empty out the Flamingo estate bottle is replace it

with my own purple biotin and collagen conditioner so I can ride the inertia into having voluminous hair you caused this

you're giving me seasickness no no no no you're giving me seasickness no no no no you're giving me c-section I think what is what is your own biotin conditioner are you making your own conditioner no I'm gonna

what are you putting in it I'm gonna go to Walgreens Rite Aid whatever buy the cheap stuff put it in the bottle that looks nice. That's less exciting. I thought you were going to mayonnaise an egg. I thought this was going in a completely different direction. It's gotten to the point where I'm putting olive oil in my hair.

You should use grape seed oil, I think. Jojoba oil, argan oil. Moroccan oil. Don't get me, argan oil, Moroccan oil. Don't get me started on hair oils. Get her started. Does anybody else have any problems of the day that I can kind of fix? By the way, ask very lightly

because I brought up the shower thing and he spoke about conditioner for four minutes straight. Yeah, he's scared. I mean, can you fix this problem that we're having where all of the containers that we ordered for the New York office aren't ever going to arrive? I have broken down moving boxes from the Home Depot

I could ship to you guys. No, that's probably gonna do opposite um what we want so that's not helping yeah it's a solution it's not my fault if you're like not open to change what's that where do you shop for home goods like for furniture or like knickknacks if you were If you were going to buy a bunch of containers to put stuff in, what aesthetic, what vibe are you going for? I like to buy secondhand because I care about the earth. It's cheaper and you can get it immediately and you don't deal with these delivery issues.

So I would say offer up. Immediately? Yeah. Literally, you can go on offer up and be like, this thing's five miles away. I can go pick it up right now. What have you done that with recently? Not in New York you can.

That's true because you don't have a car. I did that with this rocking chair that you can barely see. I did that with the dining chairs over there. Why did you buy a rocking chair? So I can fucking relax, man, and read a good book what are we reading today jith that's just because that's not a bad nickname for me because i my skin tone is that of uh creamy natural that's right um what was the question?

I don't know. What are you reading? What book? Oh, I'm still reading Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I've been reading it for like a month and a half. Solid. But I'm halfway done. Sorry, I was just...

Sorry, I was just... I was thinking about what I'm going to do tonight. English, anything I can fix in your life? How's your husband? He's good. He's good. He's in a bunch of meetings. Communication issues? We're good.

Okay. And when you guys... But when conflict does... Sorry, I'm here one second. When a conflict does arise, when you guys but when conflict does sorry i'm here one second when when a conflict does arise do you guys feel like you can approach it wanting immediately to sort of understand where the other one's coming from leaving every argument every dispute understanding the other one a little bit more understanding each other's dynamic each other's needs knowing you can never really meet someone's needs because we're all God in drag. We're all just presenting who we think we are.

What if we use our relationships as a vehicle for freedom? Never asking our partners to be different than they are, loving them for who they are as now they appear to be to me to have for you on the day in a way you started this show with we barely know each other and you're not my therapist so i'm not gonna divulge any of it good job english all i really got from that was god and drag yeah i love that that was a really long uh i've been watching Drag Race because I feel like they say that a lot. I've been plagiarizing Ram Dass. I see.

Ram Dass talks about God and drag. He says we're all God and drag. I see. We're all God and drag. And he's sort of famous for that? Shut up. Because that doesn't really mean anything. So it's weird that you look up to this guy,

I assume, or read his writing and he says stuff like that and you're kind of into it is that how it works yeah um Um... Welcome to September Gladness. We all log off. gladness we all log off uh listen i think we're literally approaching six months away from march madness not that i'm a college basketball fan but you know i just wonder if there's like something we could do now you know bracket wise tourney wise turning wise did you do this photoshop it's pretty good i did um yeah english what do you think i mean oh i don't pay attention to basketball but if you're just talking general brackets, we're going into football season. But I actually meant from a graphic design standpoint.

Sheets. Yeah, I'm going to go sheets. All right. Same. Fresh bouquet, adorning the mantle, or spooning with someone with a lovely rump? Rump.

Rump. I guess I'll go spooning still. He wins. Finding cash and your doctors are coming your eyes out. How much cash? Yeah.

How much cash can you possibly find? Like 20 at most. So I'll go coming your eyes out. Well, at most it'd be 100 if it's one bill, right? That's pretty good. So let's say up to 100. But odds are less. Have you ever found a $100 bill?

That's pretty rare. Then again, I've never came my eyes out. Well, my thing is like, how much is coming that hard worth to you, right? Keep in mind, you're actually losing money because of the copay. Right, right, yeah. Unless she's already reached her max deductible

for the year coming her eyes out and is that a specialty visit or your general practitioner right right all good questions I mean for safety purposes $100 in my pants seems like a smart move

yeah yeah I gotta advance coming your eyes out. Such a rarity. I could go either way if we need to push it forward. Well, keep in mind this is September gladness. Okay. I mean, it's nothing.

I just feel like if we push forward coming your eyes out, it's going to win. You know what I mean? There's no guarantees. I'm going to say finding cash. I'm going to go with cash. I'm going to go with cash because if it's $100, you could

go to a really nice restaurant and you could come your eyes out from the food being good. That's true. Very true. A nice aioli. You could find a new aioli. Here we go. That Friday feeling

or finishing a page turner? Friday? That Friday feeling. Yeah. All right. Final four. There's four more sections, though. Let's go

trolo he's not gonna be able to stop it let's hit him with a daddy chill what I was gonna go for was um this final four final four what is the jekinger thing where he's like Um, this. Final four. Final four.

What is the Jake and Mir thing? Where he's like the final four? Oh, yeah. I'll go with linen sheets. This is a Mir doing Jake and Mir watch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Cold, fresh linen sheets or spooning with someone with a Pixar mom level dumper.

Dumper. I got to go sheets. I'm going spooning. I'll go with spooning again. Spooning upsets cold fresh linen sheets that one was the closest for me but I'd rather have

like normal room temperature weak old linen sheets spooning with oh by the way I should show this speaking of college football look who I saw last night It's spooning with... Oh, by the way, I should show this. Speaking of college football, look what I saw last night. What is that?

What is it? That's the happiest I have ever seen you. If you know, you know. And I'll leave it at that. No, it isn't. Let's just say he was a quarterback for USC, Jeff's Trojans in like 2009, I want to say. I didn't follow them. Oh, that's Mark Sanchez.

You should have said for the Jets. I had a Jets Sanchez jersey. There you go. Finding cash in your dockers versus that Friday feeling. Cash. Cash in the dockers. I'm going to go with that Friday feeling. Oh, Amir.

Yeah, we should just continue this next week. Okay, you know what? I need to talk this out with you guys. Okay, you know what? I need to talk this out with you guys. That Friday feeling hits different. Can we all agree? To be sure.

To be sure. And when it is like 6 p.m. on a Friday where you have a weekend you're really looking forward to, sunny day, right? And you're about to go get drinks or dinner with people. There's that butterfly feeling that you just don't get from anything, let alone spooning. That's right. But then there's that feeling of waking up with a lover,

not having anything to do until later that day. So you can stay in bed if you want, or you can go do something. And, you know, it's, it's a little cold in the room. So you're grasping to them.

When your arm falls asleep, you know, that doesn't happen on Friday. Oh my God. Kayla just fucking scales. Wow. Holy moly. Our winner is...
