This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. If you want to start from the bottom and then end up where we're here being you buying the, getting the pants, it's raw materials, right? Leather, hides, that comes from cows. Suddenly, logistics lead to the supplier, right? And it's all logistics. So, that's communication back and forth that's uh you know the supplier of high did you study this like did you like do a lot of research on this just for this segment

because it feels like a lot of research for a segment that undeniably is going to be boring to some of our listeners yeah i'm kind of wondering where the joke is gonna be yeah you know what i'm fucking sick of doing this show every week everybody demanding jokes why can't we talk about something real? That's interesting to me. That's wise. Yes. It's like we're starting so low energy.

You weren't doing anything. Well, you know, I'm in charge of a lot here. We were just talking about how Casey's sort of the AV whiz behind tonight's HeadGum Happy Hour. Right. One ticket left. Yeah. So if you're watching this next week. Sorry.

Go back and snag that tick. Let's talk about the hottest button issues of the day. Okay. Binaural audio. By what? Binaural audio. Awful to hear you say that word. Binaural?

Yeah. That's the first time you said it normally. In two years? That's the first time you said it normally in two years. That's really good. No, it's my buddy Noral. They're bi. Really?

Is his last name Audio? No, they just started doing ASMR. Next issue, I guess. It's 9-19. We're squeezing this in. I'm usually not awake before 10.30. When did you go to bed last night? Midnight.

Oh, that's not bad. That's good for you. I did well. Casey, what time did you go to bed last night? One. That's not as, yeah. One is also early for me. Yeah.

One would be early for me. But let's take a quick moment to... Let's take a quick break. Just sort of actually properly remember the queen and mourn her death now that she rests in peace. Amazing grace How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, D. I was wondering. I found was blind

but now I see I've never heard this song before. You um nobody joined in. I mean out of public performances of Amazing Grace it goes Obama then you.

Remember when Obama did that and everybody stood up immediately as he started singing? He had this look on his face where he was like, I know that this is cool. I get to finally flex this. Who had just passed that he sang it for?

I think it was a shooting. It was quite tragic. Then he was kind of like, Amazing Grace. I think it was a shooting. It was quite tragic. Yeah. And then he was kind of like, amazing race. I think it was not a shooting because it was kind of a cool, fun moment. You're dressed bad today. Yeah.

Unrelated. Everyone else kind of dressed to the nines. You can't see Casey right now, but he's maybe the best dressed in the room. Oh, thank you. He's got the Pirelli hat on. No, it's definitely Kayla. Casey. Maybe me.

Are you kidding me? But if I wore that exactly, everyone would be like, I'm the worst dressed person. High-waisted pants. High-waisted pants. Nike socks with, what are those those Doc Martin slide-on boots. No, those are for sure Blundstones.

Suede. Tail breaks. The socks ruined my outfit. Honestly, it's the shoes for me. Me? Mine are chips. Yours. Your shoes are really bad.

They're also not good. They're normal. What size shoe are you? Because they look huge. I'm a 14 and a half. Nice. Women's. Also, yeah.

The socks are also not great. Look at how much bigger your foot is than mine. That's normal to have it that way. These are just normal Adidas shoes I wear all the time. This specific style is newish. They're not great. The socks actually were a podcast sponsor, as was the shirt from the same place.

The shoes are a decade old. A decade? Yes! The colorway is dead! The colorway is bad. It's not dad. Dad would be better. Yeah, like Reebok would be cool. It's just bad. Reebok is cool now. Yeah, it's been cool.

I feel like if Amir was wearing the Blundstones, it would be a cool outfit. Yeah, so what shoes right now? Yeah. Well, no, cause then my outfit's unequivocally bad. I don't think, it might work. Because of the socks. Nike socks with Adidas shoes, sort of a faux pas.

Yeah, but I feel like your pant color. Gah! Erase the pant leg. I'm just glad we're talking about fashion because all week Marty's just dragging me about liking clothes yeah Marty wants a capsule wardrobe meaning what? we were at drinks last night

and he was sitting at the end of the bar on his phone just scrolling through images of capsule wardrobes what is capsule wardrobe? it's like when you have 20 pieces within the same three colors and it's the maximum amount of outfits possible.

You could choose anything and it would all go together. So there's no thought to it. Marty scares the shit out of me for that. He also was searching for guns. I feel like your wardrobe is kind of a capsule wardrobe yeah i wear jeans or shorts and then a solid t yeah yeah yeah that's basically accident yeah yeah um but yeah the opposite of how kayla

yes chooses to dress yeah i want to be noticed. But it matches. In fact, I need to be noticed. I need external validation because I have nothing inside. What do you think this show is? External validation. Exactly right. Thank you for all the YouTube comments. I read them. What?

It's nice that the New York contingent flew flew in you can do this in person well no they you guys flew in for the head gum happy hour yeah which again is tonight um hopefully we made a good show i don't know what else to say amir and i are still currently confused this is the show's in less than 10 hours whether we're doing material or just i'm seeing you're emceeing and then maybe some crowd work yeah you have yeah time up top i mean we we have the run of show and you've seen the run of show but are we individually performing between comics or all three of us in between all three of us you'll be sitting on stools on the side of the stage.

But if we're just going on stage to introduce the next comic, it seems weird that it's three people sitting down and then introducing. It seems like one at a time introducing the comics and then all three of us at the top and at the bottom. You can do it that way if you want to. But then we'd have to talk to Danny. I don't know if that makes sense to you. Can you do it like Waldorf and Statler in The Muppets?

Yeah, you should. sit on the side. In the distance in a balcony somewhere. Yeah. But very close to them. You're heckling them. Right. You're just tearing Ian Carmel apart. Yeah.

I mean, we'll figure it out on the day. You can definitely heckle Avital. That's true. For sure. Yeah, I'm sure she'll love that. I have a Shark Tank bit. We don't have to do it tonight. A bit like a stand-up for you to say.

It could be either. It's like very loose. Let's hear it. Absolutely not. We can workshop it now. No, let's workshop it. I don't want to. Okay.

Autumn is upon us. Yeah. Solstice with... Autumnal Equinox yeah it was oh wait when today no it's what i say well you didn't know the solstice was on wednesday full moon i think on friday no that was full moon was like two weeks ago i have a really good photo of it, which I'm not going to find on my phone. It's going to take too long. But it was like, I was leaving work, probably a little too late.

Actually, maybe that was the sun. I'll circle back. It was a full sun. What was it, full sun today? I don't think. But it wasn't because, you know, like Manhattan Henge. Like it was that, but it was on the other side. So it was the moon for sure.

Moon Henge. Long Island Henge. It's always underwhelming to take a picture of a cool moon. Yeah, it was the moon. Is it orange? All right. Yes. Yeah.

You can see. Because it's the harvest moon. That's why it's a little bit orange. Yeah. A lot of people. It's always underwhelming to take a picture of the moon, but this one actually turned out pretty cool. Thank you so much.

Yeah. A lot of people stopped to take photos. If this was the sun, it would be a lot of problem. Perhaps 21st, 22nd. Okay. Yeah. Next time, respond fast. To what?

To me saying like, oh, 23rd Street? Yeah, you responded so quickly. Especially for me. Overlapping dialogue makes the episode faster. All right. Well, then let's go. I was upon us. I used to be able to L-cut everything on the show.

You want to know why we're dropping listeners? It's because I can't edit fast. We're dropping listeners? Probably. It's kind of been like a stasis. We're not growing. We're not growing. And if we're not growing, then honestly, we're not showing up for the network.

I'm working my frigging tail off outside of the network trying to get famous so that the numbers show that so we all can make more cash so that the numbers show that and it's

fucking easy to get famous I don't care it doesn't ultimately matter to get famous. Is it? I don't care. It doesn't ultimately matter because we're all on a rock. Yeah. That is Earth.

No, he means we're all on cocaine. Okay. I'm on ketamine. I started doing Mind Bloom. What's that? Ketamine depression therapy. How's it going? I don't know who I am.

So you're less depressed? No, that's where I started from. Oh, I see. It sounds like it's coming from Casey, which is so funny. Oh, my God. Your desktop is a mess, dude. No, my desktop's full of GIFs. Because I like, there's no Giphy on your laptop iMessage.

So when I want to send a GIF, React, it's right there on the desktop. Yeah. You got a folder for that for sure. Aren't GIFs like the millennial? It's over, yeah. It's over. It's skinny jeans. They're evergreen.

I mean, they should be skinny jeans they're evergreen because i mean they should be but they're not they've been they've been called like millennial by gen z well you're on the cusp of so yeah every time we post uh sketch tiktok everyone comments oh this is millennial This is all humor. This is all humor. This is all humor. Directly my sense of humor. Sorry. It's all because of you. I was just born in a year. And if it was different humor, then they could say it was that. I'm technically Gen Z, I think.

I think the cusp is 95. Yeah, that makes sense. Or there's like a window that I'm in, but I'm not gonna apologize for finding what I find joyful. You're a zillennial. Oh. A zillennial. Okay, zillennial, yeah.

Okay. Everything I am is in between, right? I'm between two races. It's called a liminal state. Oh. My life is liminal. And honestly, my options are limited. Right. I have a flexible work schedule schedule but it doesn't matter right because you're busy and sad yes even the busy plans i'm always half-assing

every single stream of income every friendship i have oh you're spread too thin yes and you're becoming thin too i'm fra Yeah, you're wasting away. Yes, and my waist is wasting away. Right. And at what point does any of that stop? Upon death. It's not great if you're trying to show ass at 10K followers. Well, he already took the photo.

Well, till death do we shard. Move on! You do release your bowels when you die. Okay. Here we go. Margot Robbie mortified reportedly. I did see that. Set photos from the Barbie movie were released.

Why? She looks great. She's mortified about that? According to the internet. There's nothing to be mortified about. I mean, maybe she was like, I assume she's probably a producer on the movie. Maybe she was like,

this isn't what I wanted for our strategy. Highly stylized first images and then it's like, actually, here's Margot Robbie drinking a latte on a smoke break. It wasn't that for sure. you want like highly stylized first images and then it's like actually he's here's margot robbie drinking a latte on a smoke break it wasn't that for sure it was like brightly colored outfits of her and ryan gosling yeah so that makes sense yeah they were just like they're probably just not like touch enough can i read each shut up continue Shut up. Continue. I thought she was bright wing colored.

Meaning? She was wearing a bright wing pistachio dial chronograph. What words did you just say? I think I just had a stroke or maybe you did. When was the last time you guys had a medical emergency? Casey, do you want to start us off? Yeah, last November I broke my hip skateboarding. Classic.

Have you had physical therapy? Yeah. I've been working on it. Getting better. It was a hip injury, so did you take the traditional route or did you fuck it into place? I fucked it into place.

You nailed it. Got it in one. My medical emergency was that day. It was a previous episode of the podcast when I was bedridden from pain in my back. That was my most recent one. I remember that. Yay! Yeah. My back. That was my most recent one. I remember that.

Every time. Kayla? I was in a pretty scary car accident a year ago. I had to go to the ER. Come here. Wait, what happened? Rhode Island? It happened in New Jersey.

Shout out Johnny. Yeah, thanks a lot, Johnny. And Gianna. Who spotlighted on the blog today. Everyone go to the gum blog. No. This is pre-HeadGum. Yeah, I just left Viacom.

And T-Bone, head-on collision, driving to this. Were you the driver or passenger? I was the driver. A car cut us off. Lost control of the car. It hit the cement medium and spun out across four lanes of traffic where thankfully nobody hit us. Wow. And my car was totaled.

Wow. Were you driving? Yeah. And then you went to the ER just to like make sure everything was okay or like you were? I had like burns on my face and shoulder from the airbag and the seatbelt. Airbag? Holy smokes. So scary. What degree burns? I don't know.

But it didn't scar? No. Did the airbag help or was it just an annoying hindrance at that time? I think it was pretty helpful. The car did its job and we were all safe. Have you ever been in a car where the airbags went off? No. Apparently when I was little, I was in a car that did a full 360 turn and landed on the wheels.

Well, that's just awesome. When you were what? When I was little. My mom was driving a van and someone hit us. You don't remember that at all no like the car spun over yeah the car fully did a 360 turn in the air and landed oh my god yeah and we should say that your mom's car was a cat it's that cat bus that's a thing right little cat bus studio it's like cat dog yeah alone in the world but you guys are still alive thank you um not to know about an emergency but when i drive recently my hamstring is tight and that ain't right it's about right for your age

it's probably the shoes got em sound what call me Thurgood That's the matriarchy alert I feel like it's high time for a new nickname for me Okay

I'm leaning towards Thurgood What about the one I gave you in Slack? What was it? Dr. Sus That's pretty good That's pretty good but it makes me sound like Yeah you like just a weird name. I see.

Okay. Rodney. Desmond. Desmond. Thurgood. Maxwell could be good. Maxwell Billingham. Roger.

I am often in people's cups. You're not in the best part of waking up, though. You're the worst part of being here. Is that a coffee stain on your socks or are those like a design? I think it's dirt. It's dirt stains from hiking. I didn't know dirt could stain. Oh, like you can't wash it out at this point.

Didn't know dirt could stain. It's like dust, so I thought that that would come out. Got it. But nay. And these socks are pretty expensive, so I thought that that would come out. Got it. But nay. And these socks are pretty expensive, so. Do you have like an OxyClean? I don't. That probably would have taken care of it.

If you put it in the dryer, though, it's done. Cooks it in. Set in. Yeah, for sure. Baked into the cake. We do have to take a quick break. Nice. Nice rhyme.

Oh, 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've 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? Check it out. Oh, my God. Oh, god. Oh no. I live in the same neighborhood as Margot Robbie now. Congrats. Do you want to put your address out there no

people would hurt me that's true i remember when you doxxed yourself yeah weeks ago and i was moving like the next week so thank god but i do think someone would have done something. I've wronged too many people. This is veal or no veal? I'm gonna show you guys a photo of a calf and you tell me whether or not it's veal.

Alright. The cutoff for veal is 20 weeks. So. Basically you have to guess whether this calf is veal worthy or not. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Okay. Veal or no veal? God this is depressing. It's pretty fucked up that we eat baby animals like this. So cute. No veal. No veal. I'm going to say veal. No veal. I'm gonna say veal. Casey. How can you tell?

Look at those soulful eyes. Yeah, we're basically eating puppies. I don't want to play this game. I'm the only one here that doesn't eat. Would you guys eat veal at a restaurant or would you be like this is too fancy? I've never had beef in my life. You have beefs but you've never too fancy? I've never had beef in my life. You have beefs, but you've never eaten it.

I have beefs, but I've never eaten beef. Who's your biggest beef with? You, probably. Really? No, it's not you. I don't know. The meat industry. Maybe like the mayor of New York City.

Yeah. I thought it was anyone that went to go see leah michelle's opening performance of funny girl i thought you were soft on that meaning i thought you were like oh wait no that's my friend aj that was somebody completely separate yeah okay what does that mean though? Oh, his take was just that Lea Michele sucks, but she's talented. Yeah, that's how I feel. Also. Veal or no veal, guys? Come on. But how can you, like, what are you telling us

that this one was recently killed? This one? No, it's not. There's two, first of all. We're talking about the brown one. No veal. No veal. It's not whether they died or not. It's whether they're past the cutoff. How old they are. Many weeks or not

more. I see. That one looks a little older, so I'll say no veal. Yeah, no veal. Correct! How old is that one? How can you tell? It's like five months or something. Or sorry, six months. That's very sad. Veal or no veal?

No veal. It is veal, so we shouldn't eat it. No veal. Really? Yeah. And I'm jovial. So that toddler cow yields just regular beef is what you're saying.

It's tough because it's like, it's gonna, what's that? In between. Yeah, it's like, it's not gonna be that succulents, but it's gonna be, you know, some pretty good beef. Jesus Christ. I think you should open a ranch, Jeff. And move there forever. Yeah. I feel like the vibe that you give off currently just in terms of how you're dressing is like open a ranch, start a commune type of a thing.

Like the Manson family. Is Spahn Ranch available? I'm wearing like an Oxford shirt shirt i don't know what's culty about me today maybe it's the socks that are dirty why are you looking at her like i'm asking you is that what's giving you um yeah i mean i think the fact that the socks are dirty but the boots are like pristine as a little just's swimming. I just got him. Also, your pants are covered in blood. You were singing Amazing Grace earlier.

Well, I befriended a musician. That's really the Beach Boys. Veal? Oh, no veal. We should all not eat veal. Going forward, that's a nice positive outcome of this disgusting segment.

That's Veal though. I'm not killing Veal. All right, I'm just doing a segment of is it Veal or not? I'm not taking a stance. What's that? He's got like a little beard. Well, he also has a tag, so it's kind of a- I'm just waiting for you to show a human calf

and ask us if it's Veal. Wow. That would be meal. My nephew meal is 18 weeks. We still have time. Come on. Is this veal or not? No veal, please. That's probably veal. Or sorry, veal.

Veal or no veal? Jesus, man. What? This is depressing. We're seeing cute animals in cages bred to be fed. I don't exactly understand what's cute about beef. It's the animals. It's the cow. Yeah, the animals are cute. I thought you meant like the meat of them.

No veal. This looks old. That's veal. Veal or no veal? I it's so cute he has a little bow in his neck no veal that's no veal because that's a pet that's for sure he's got a collar veal it's older than 20 weeks yeah stop showing this grown up He's growing in a person's yard. It does make me stop and think should I be eating veal four to five times a week?

Oh my god, that's a lot. What? It's too much. People eat fish every day. He's got a point. We should be eating veal. Veal or no veal? I'm honestly on the verge of teal. What's that?

I'm on the verge of teal. I'm wondering if I should paint my closet orange. I'm on the verge of teal. As a Dolphins fan. That's veal for sure. Not veal. What are you guys doing? Veal or no veal?

No veal. Really? It's jovial. This is jovial. Like Joe Camel? Jovial. Jovial. Not veal.

Jovial. Can we play it? Please don't kill Mike. Can we play a different game? Come on. Stop it. Let's come up with one. Enough.

This. Enough. Can we just play a different game? We can. How about the X Factor? We call all of your ex-girlfriends. That's really good. I don't know.

We could just go full name by full name and just name the most positive thing about them. Okay, but just keep scanning through these. What are my ex's X factors? Yeah, great. Good game. We have to constitute... Okay, so this is Kayla original. We have to constitute what's an ex. Is that you dated gainfully? Is that you

just had some kind of romantic encounter? Is that... I think it's whatever you consider to be an ex. Exactly. Why is everybody angry at me? Because we're playing this fucking game. I almost cried looking at baby calves. Wait, which one? Those or these? Move on, man.

Yeah, you do have very baby calves. They're not very shapely. It's his thankles. It is the thankles. That was veal or no veal. Sorry, guys. Don't apologize to us. It's the people at home watching. I guess we should all, yeah,

donate to veal. Oh, goodness. How? That was ice? Glass. You're not even wearing headphones. I'm wearing headphones. Casey, do you eat meat? I do eat meat. I've never're not even wearing headphones. I'm wearing headphones. Casey, do you eat meat?

I do eat meat. I've never had veal, though. You've never had, okay. Moral reasons or just never been in the situation? Never been in the situation, but there's no appeal to eating a veal to me. It's such a weird thing. It's like, do you want the cuter type of animal to eat? No, I'll just have the regular.

Lamb. Old, depressing. Lamb is sweet. Lamb is children. Did you just say lamb is children? That's right. Well, he's talking about the movie. Adolescence. I thought lamb is just the gender of a sheep or something. No, it's a baby sheep. Really? I didn't know lamb was baby sheep.

I thought it was just sheep. Right. Sheep! That's a shame too because lamb is... He's wrapping this conversation up. No, it's just sheep! Okay. It's kind of like bleeding.

What's that? It's kind of like bleeding sheep. How do you feel? How do you veal. How do you feel? How do you veal? How do you veal? That's how I got one of my ex-girlfriends. I was just like, so how do you veal? First aid and the confidence was what got her. Staggering.

All right, let's move into the next segment. Let's move in together speaking of communes let's get a fucking farm welcome to found footage discussions sorry found Welcome to found footage discussions. Sorry. Found table footage discussions. Found table footage.

Or found footage table discussions. That's probably better. What? The footage is about tables or the discussion is? Neither. It's a round table about found footage. Got it. I see.

Danny Sellers just walked in. So these are a couple clips taken from a PBS documentary focused on understanding the late 1960s. The cultural Aquarian explosion that was the Summer of Love. And I wondered if we could talk about it sure let's play the clip all right in the average american family today children are the object of more concentrated thought and concern than the young of any previous generation of toys of toys that of an increasing understanding of child psychology has come in awareness that children are real people with individual personalities That's an old man for sure.

Children were built different back in the day. Children are real people. Yeah. I think children used to smoke back then, right? That's really cool. That's the question. Are children real people? And if not, what age are they

real people? And don't, what age are they real people? And don't say, I don't know. No, I know. They are real people. But they are dumb. Until like, what, age 19 or something. Like you can tell an 11-year-old anything. They'd be like, okay, I believe you. Because like, that's all he knows.

And that would maybe be an argument for eating veal. Because the calves haven't gotten to an age where they're real cows counterpoint maybe a mere system interesting but i am 11 but like i mean i have a i have a niece who's you know 14 i could probably lie to her and get away with it she doesn't necessarily know whether or not i'm lying or not whether or not I'm lying or not. Sorry, that was bullshit. Yeah, I agree. 14 is like your equivalent to your 19,

I would say for a girl. What about Santa Claus? That lie goes much later in life than I would have thought. Like you can tell your kids that a magical man is delivering gifts until they're 12 and they'll be like, yeah, that makes sense. Well, he's not magical.

He's just a hypercapitalist. I mean, he has exploited the labor of elves. That's how he gets it all done. The reindeer thing, that's a lie. But he can definitely make it happen. What's wrong with believing in a little magic? Because it shows that you're not a fully formed, critically thinking adult smarty yet. Maybe you're thinking beyond conventional norms and embracing the unknown.

Yeah. But no, it's because your parents lie to you and you just don't question anything until. I was also thinking about that. Yeah. We have to cut this for ads. That was so short. I was also thinking about that. We have to cut this for ads. That was so short. Do you believe in tragic in my

life? Alright, so children are real people. Let's go to the next one. We found out in the 50s that if you got up in the morning and went to work and did a good day's work, that things got better. You got promoted or you got up in the morning and went to work and did a good day's work, that things got better.

You got promoted or you got more money. You were able to buy furniture. You could have more children. The children could have better clothes. And life just improved. We knew it was because you went to work. But I'm not sure our children realized that. They saw simply that the clothes got better.

The house got bigger, the neighborhood got nicer. And I have a strong suspicion that what happened in the late 60s was that the kids who rebelled took it for granted that life would improve automatically. So the question then is, does life just improve automatically? Or is it the product of hard work, dedication, and absentee parenting? I would say it's the opposite. Life gets worse. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I work pretty hard. I just got recognized in the industry. Where? Or ads something. Ad exchanger. Ad exchanger. Rising star 40 under 40. Oh, yes.

Congratulations. And I'm still very depressed. But imagine how much sadder you'd be if you didn't get that nom. I don't know if I can't get much sadder. Sure. You'd be wearing a different colored dress. It would be like a black or a dark blue macabre outfit. I have a lot of those

wait for october but but does depression negate life being good wow this is an existential conversation i think yes really for you like internally yes but holistically holistically i mean to outside like some an outside viewer probably not no in your experience like does the question is does life improve automatically and we're saying it gets worse yes and then we're saying that you can be working really hard and still be depressed so i guess just life doesn't get better no i say i get more depressed the harder i work oh interesting for sure so it's almost like you should work less hard yeah yeah to be joyer you'll be joyer yeah to not have what did he say to be able to buy

furniture and the clothes get better he said that a lot yeah it's also weird i feel like this time period because they're talking about the 60s right like isn't that but they're talking about like in the 60s their kids rebelled or whatever but like the rebellion was like protesting

and like working for something still it still mattered I'm nostalgic for this decade I wasn't even alive but it's like oh that seems great like kids are just playing with blocks imagine Amir at Woodstock me listening to Ben Folds

on an iPod what do you think Woodstock was? he got it right imagine if the riots at Woodstock 99 had happened during a Ben Folds 5 shit set. How cool would that be? Jane BJ!

Towers ablaze. Alright. Now here's a major scene of the 60s. Because of their profoundly different life experiences, kids had trouble understanding why their fathers worked so hard. The way many of them saw it why their fathers worked so hard.

The way many of them saw it, their fathers were engaging in the single-minded pursuit of material comforts. My dad was always above board in all his business dealings. But I would say money and getting ahead and making a lot of bucks was his goal. Does money equal happiness? No, but also yes. I think yes to a point. There's like this study where it's like once you make, you know, a certain amount of money,

just like so that you don't have to like stress out about like shelter and food yeah and then like after that it doesn't necessarily do you know that number it's close to a million but not quite money does help solve a lot of the maslow's hierarchy of needs i think money's oxygen it's not happiness because when you have it you don't think about it and when you don't have it it's all you can think about wow that's incredibly profound yeah so is that an original thought no this fucking guy terry north wrote it all play the clip god damn it even girls who were sent to college often majored in what were called the domestic sciences. Hmm. They're all frightened. Oh shit, what is that?

I invented jelly. That was a loose jam. A very loose jam. There's no way they're going to use all of that in one sitting. Of course, look how much bread they made. Thank god. Remember the... Sorry, I was really off topic. I was just

going to say, remember the squirrel jam issue? Yes. I still go to squirrel really yeah i have no idea what you're talking about oh boy it was like this whole is an la restaurant that very popular very popular made their own jam like to sell online and that sort of thing and they found out in the kitchens that there was like a huge health code violation there was like people were like scraping mold off the top of these vats of jam and still using the jam underneath and like it was wild what does that do with crazy stories i don't know it's like it's just the name of the restaurant yeah oh okay yeah yeah um should people of all genders learn the domestic science yeah yeah i feel like it's no longer domestic science it's just common sense that people

should have common in high school i won the family and consumer science award because i just took a lot of child development and culinary and sewing classes for my for my extracurriculars in high school 60s that was like more recent than that and they were still doing calling I grew up in the 60s got it but I think I think every high schooler should have to take like uh taxes and pancakes oh yeah I wish someone taught me about taxes. Laundry and Roth IRA. If you have to take a class on laundry it's too late.

I don't want to say die but I have really strong feelings about people that can't do their own laundry. Did you do laundry growing up or only once you were in college? I would say growing up but like even in, I don't know, we had a laundry line for a while. So we didn't even have a dryer.

Oh, wow. Just like hung stuff up. A clothesline. Did you all grow up with like assigned chores to do every week? No. Yeah. I did. But they changed every week.

But it's also like. Yeah, you rotated the schedule. Look at the machine and read like it shouldn't be hard to do I remember learning in college basically bulky items

you guys still separate whites and colors I do I stopped doing that it's fine well I I didn't when I had to spend money on laundry because it's fine well i i i didn't when i had to spend money on laundry because it's like like in terms of going to a laundry man doing it myself but now i have since the pandemic just been sending it out it's really cool yeah yeah wash and fold yeah that was awesome that was awesome in new york you just drop your

shit off in a bag and you get it back in a sack and it's already it's like a perfectly yeah i can't go back like i i wish that i had laundry in my house i'd wash things all the time i'd be living my best life but now i wait like three weeks until all my clothes are gone and just send it with a man and he brings it back. Do they have that in LA? They do. Uh, but it seems incredibly expensive. Like I have to go to a laundromat and they offer a wash and hold service and it's like 40 bucks to do it or $7 if I do it myself.

Yeah. It's, I mean, yeah, it's expensive, which is why I wait until the very last minute. It was like $20. Well, I guess it depends on how many clothes you have.

Yeah, it's by the pound. I was living in a suitcase. Yes. It's not bad for you, but having a car like that, I would still go laundromat if I had a car and could drive. It's the folding that's really nice they like fold it in a way that like I can never achieve yeah for sure I don't even know

what they're doing like how does it end so thin and uniform I don't know man it's crazy well this is why everybody should be educated in the domestic sciences here we go there was a song when I went to college at Smith College, which they don't sing anymore, I know. Christopher Guest Documentary. You're sharp as a pinpoint. Your grades are really ten point. You are Dean's list, Sophia Smith.

But when a man wants a kiss kid, he doesn't want a quiz kid. Oh, you can't get a man with your brains. With your brains. With your brains. Oh, you can't get a man with your brains. With your brains. With your brains. Oh, you can't get a man with your brains. And it had verses that went on and on. Oh my god.

First of all, the song is garbage. With your brain. With your brain. No, you can't get a brain with your man. That way. You can't get a brain with your man, though. Can't get a brain with your man, though. Yeah. Can't get a brain.

The question is thus. Yes. Should Amir cover this at HeadGum Happy Hour tonight? No way. No. Like, sing the song? Yeah. No context.

He doesn't have the background. He doesn't have the chords. He doesn't have the gall. I don't have the glasses. Although, I do kind of resemble that lady. I can see it can see it so yeah that's you if you went to smith i toured smith i don't remember if i applied to smith no i didn't apply but i applied to my song and you were like i was like i gotta go um yeah five college consortium classic i'm a big fan of their dean of social work school
