This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. Just color commentary on the event. Do you want to be a co-host, Marika? Is that what you're asking? Of the HeadGum Oscars ceremony? I don't. Alright.

Because I don't know how it's going. I think that's what I'm trying to make clear. Like, I just don't. It's hard to understand with my knowledge of the Oscars how this event works so I'm just like I'm kind of almost the audience plant here like I'm their way into understanding alright here we go

the nominees for best original podcast idea are Dead Eyes Keeping Records Doughboys and All Fantasy Everything. Who do we think it is? Should we place bets on this one? People usually do like an obstacle.

Can't hear anything if you're playing. You can't hear anything. Are you sharing sound? Now you can hear. Yeah. I got to talk to Mike Comate or one of these fucking audio engineers to figure out how to get loopback going on my new laptop, right? Because I tried to share the security settings

that would allow it to basically create a MIDI device, like I used to. But these new fucking M processors, I mean, it doesn't matter how fast they are, they won't let you fucking hack into them. Don't do pre-production during the show. Nobody wants to hear it. Nobody gives a shit.

Do it before we get started, or don't do it at all. But this is not the time to sort of commiserate about what is or isn't working audio video wise. We couldn't hear. All right. Did hear that one, actually. Spring has sprung. I don't know what else to say say we're recording this on the spring solstice it is a new season of dreams

and what are you guys looking forward to what do you guys want to leave in winter cold and rainy still so it's hard for me to yeah I feel I feel almost the opposite like it's been too warm here but I definitely want to leave in winter

like wetness tired of that tired of rain tired of sleet tired of snow. Yeah. I meant like personally. Oh. You know, I think just the internet in general.

Kind of over it. Leave the internet behind last winter. Yeah. For our audio-only listeners, they wouldn't even know that Dane's on the show today because he hasn't said anything yet. Because he didn't introduce anyone. You guys felt very comfortable talking

before I introduced your ass. Just welcome to the show, Dane Cardiel. How's it going? It's really good. I'm looking forward to my garden yeah we're doing some um seed planning right now so the lettuce and the onions and the bell peppers um yeah it's gonna be good would you say rice

one of the hardest things to grow right it's not it's not don Do I need to flood the ground for weeks? No, you don't. Then how do you grow rice, Marika? You can grow rice in a pot, man. We're gonna fuck up some rice! This has been stuck in my head all week. No, that's

my dad's whole thing. He loves to tell people they can grow rice at home in a pot that's true i remember that news segment i thought that that's really nice when you make your parents thing your thing yeah and like thinking about like not being a parent that's the one thing that i'm like sad about is like kids taking on my thing absolutely and just to go off that for a second uh my mom was a second grade teacher. So if I could dumb things down for your guys' asses, let's all regroup.

Let's all come to this with joy because people don't want to hear animosity, right? I need to explain it to you like you are five. Dane, what if your kids became Dodger fans? Amir, what if you shut the fuck up? I want to hear the answer, though. Me too. No, I mean, I think I would do a good job to steer them away from that.

Also, not living... They would probably become Mets fans or Yankees fans first. You'd be okay with that, or you'd be kind of disappointed? No, I'd be okay with that, for sure. You'd be okay with them being Yankee fans? You just have to let them do their own thing,

I think, at the end of the day. So you're a fan of hands-off parenting? Yeah, I think so. Me too. Me too. That's awesome. I do feel like I wish my parents had instilled more pop culture of their time knowledge. If I could have changed anything

about my parents parenting style then I think they did a pretty damn good job if that's your biggest complaint no I feel like all my friends are like oh yeah I love the Beatles because my mom loved the Beatles or something like that

and I know that my mom liked the Beatles, but she never forced me to listen to them, so I don't care. You know what I mean? Are you okay? No. Of course. Just kidding.

I listen to reggae a lot in my dad's car, so I guess that helped. Yeah. And what was your favorite was it i really liked the harmony house uh two seat volume two cd uh just a compilation album of some of reggae's greatest Stephen Merchant like it doesn't fucking matter at this point Barbara Broccoli cast a fucker

it doesn't matter if they're a woman or a person of color at this point I'll take the whitest Brit you've got just so we have a name and I can stop doing this shit I'm gonna go Lucas Hedges awful awful awful Brit you've got just so we have a name and I can stop doing this shit. Steven Merchant. I'm going to go Lucas Hedges. Awful. Awful. Awful.

He just got cast in a... Yeah, so he's busy. No, no, not really. He just got cast in a play version of Brokeback Mountain. I saw that. They're bringing it to the next generation. Into the West End. Play with music. I did buy tickets this morning.

I've never been more excited about anything in my life. Why doesn't Japan have like an east end? Um, you know, I don't know. Like, Tokyo should have the other Broadway. Korea has a lot of theater. I've heard that. I've heard that. Really? No. Hmm.

I've never seen Brokeback Mountain. Me neither. And this will be my first time seeing it live on stage. Dane and Amir, what are your guys' bonds of the week? Say them at the same time, please. Alexander

Draymond. Sorry, I couldn't hear either of you. Right. Because I did what you asked. Dane, who did you say? Alexander Draymond. Sorry, I couldn't hear either of you. Right. Because I did what you asked. Dane, who did you say? Alexander Draymond. Who's that?

He plays Uhtred, son of Uhtred, in The Last Kingdom. That's a good pick. That'd be good. And then, Amir, you said a sweaty white guy? Austin Reeves, yeah. Because he had a good game last night? He playing well he's playing really well right he's well shut up this basketball yeah team waxing basketball we're chatting basketball that's my team names's my team name references song. Yeah, should we check in on the HeadGum Bracket Challenge?

Let's do it. Tournament will be over by the time this comes out, though, right? That's true. That is absolutely true. Currently, I'm sitting in fourth. That's pretty solid. Knock on wood. My God.

Speedcasers in first. I don't know who FDIC insured bracket is. That's you, Dane? That's me. Hell yeah. Dane's in second. Big winner Will in third, and big winner Jeff in fourth.

Amir, you're in 12th, sitting shitty. Well, I like to focus on max points possible going forward. Which, by the way, is how this is ranked. That puts me in, really. Oh, wait, no, it's not. Yeah, you're doing pretty good with max points. All I have to do is get everything else correctly going forward. But you kind of pick with your heart, though.

Yeah, I have UCLA going all the way. So in the future, if you guys are listening to this, you'll know how I did based on whether or not UCLA won the tournament. And I had Houston going all the way in Houston. Me too. So Marika and I might win. That'd be pretty cool. Why did you guys like Houston to win?

I picked all of my teams based on one website that I don't remember the name of. Based on streets in New York. And in first, the University of Houston. My final four, the only one still in it is Houston. I had U of A and Houston in the championship, so that sucks. Yeah, Arizona lost to Princeton,

those fucking nerds, in the first round. Can you believe that? They're already smart, and now they're just beating nationally ranked basketball powerhouses? Well, you have to assume U of A just didn't take it seriously enough, right? They were out partying the night before for sure.

It is a party school. The fuck is that supposed to mean? It's known for their social events, Greek life, and general party atmosphere. Didn't we learn that? Were you in the

an Uber when we were in Scottsdale? Because that's where it is, right? I feel like our Uber driver told us that exact information. Oh, really? I think it's in Tucson. But yeah, it's all just around there. I got deja vu

for some reason. Deja Tucson. Nice. Nice. Um. What were you saying? Is that real it's not real

what are you saying there's no way sorry that really threw me what as if you don't fart all day during this show I don't really

you guys are familiar with FOMO right yeah All day during this show. I don't. Really. You guys are familiar with FOMO, right? Yeah. Fear of Missing Out. Yeah. What about JOMO? The Joy of Missing Out. That's actually really cool if it was an acronym,

but I was thinking it for like a boy's name. The Jeans of Missing On. like a boy's name the jeans of missing on the jeans of having them is your shirt open all the way or does it button at the way way way bottom it buttons halfway down I see fine I'm going to France so I'm starting to dress like I'm Parisian yeah yeah'm starting to dress like I'm Parisian yeah they don't dress like that

I'm wearing jeans, man. Okay. Yes. I couldn't see them. For all I know, you were laying down on a bed as you want to do. I'm sitting here. Sorry, Dan. I'm sitting here ready to converse with you without conflict.

I love that. Yeah. That's big of you. Sorry, one second. Without conflict. I love that. Yeah. That's big of you. Sorry, one second. Who do you think he's texting? I kind of feel like he's bringing up the notes app. Tag yourself.

Xi and Putin. I think Amir's kind of a she. She! Let's get to some really important stuff. H-D-D-D. How does Dane do? Please fill us in. Me? Dane do? Please fill us in.

Me? Dane! How do I do it? In what way? A loud fart during that. Dane, how does Dane do? What are some of your talents, your principles, ways that you live by? No, I don't have a lot actually.

Really? I feel like I had a lot of, well, I do still have some of this in like over context is like needing to like control things. And I'm trying to like let go of that. I think I'm doing an okay job. My last job, it was really bad. And like my mental health was not good because of it but um i feel like we talked about some of our like year what like year resolutions and one of them was the pop-in right have you been doing the pop i've done a couple poppins i also had a dinner

i made a bunch of dinner last weekend um And it was probably the best meal I ever made for a vegan audience too, which was tough. A lot of constraints. Spicy potato flautas, basket tacos, avocado corn salad. It was really good. Yeah, that sounds really good.

And I'm starving right now, so that sucks to hear. What's a basket taco? It is, you just fold a taco with some fillings. Like a make-your-own situation? It could be, yeah. And there's some chili red sauce on the inside and the outside of it, so it's more red-looking. Fun, fun, yeah. And there's some chili red sauce on the inside and the outside of it, so it's more red-looking. Fun, fun, fun.

Dane, do you feel like they're getting what you're saying? Do you want me to go to bed for you? Because I will. What's a basket taco? That's a great question. How else does Dane do? I don't journal, so I don't know these things about myself. I haven't really done a lot of self-reflection this year, to be honest.

So that's fair. I mean, where, where was the, where is the time? You know, where's the time? Where's the motivation more so? Why do any of this work? Yeah. It doesn't matter. Well, there's a tenant right there is maybe care a little bit less about

you know your job and adopt a little bit more of an italophile mindset a what mindset? my gas just comes out the other end why is that any better? it's a little less gross it's less funny

what kind of mindset did you say? an italian mindset It's less funny. What kind of mindset did you say? An Italian mindset. Just in terms of like... You know, the thing with Europeans is they don't value work like Americans. And by the way, Americans don't even want to work. Did you guys know that? We did. So it's this weird juxtaposition where it's like Americans value work too much,

but obviously they don't want to go to work. And it's hard to juxtaposition where it's like americans value work too much but obviously they don't want to go to work and it's hard to like you know no one wants to work anymore basically is the thing that i've started to hone in on being my reason why the world sucks uh and europe is gonna change that for you just like you're going to paris my whole deal is gonna change i mean mean, it already is. Look how French I look. Yeah. Yeah. What's the one thing that you want to take back

with you from France? Um, don't know much about the French you look. Would you participate in any of the protests? That could be fun yeah maybe i'll yeah maybe i want to come back with a greater understanding of why like militant just activism yeah you know i want to storm the barricade i've never thought this but today

i woke up being like macron past the Louboutin. It's fucking on. Because I'm almost, I'm staying near the Bastille. Which I feel fine saying. You're not going to France. You're seeing a production of Les Mis in Long Beach. Community theater. But I got an Airbnb. Yeah. But I got an Airbnb.

Yes, we have to move on. We have to move on. Do you want to talk about the flan song?

I want to talk about the song, but I do want to say that when you brought that cup... Oh, water! Wet flan water all over the keyboard. Oh my god. That's a syrup for sure that was so thick

wet caramelized sugar that M1 M2 chip hates you oh he's pressing the soundboard as he cleans the keyboard on the new computer that's the new computer? oh yeah

I was just trying to show you how On the new computer. That's the new computer? Yeah. I was just trying to show you how viscous it is. Yeah, so what I was trying to say was when you brought it over and you took a piece of it out of the pot, my first thought was that you were eating like gelatinous

broth. That's, that's the vibe it was giving. Like steak fat. Cause I was like, this isn't, this isn't vanilla pudding. Was this,

was the background vocal like weird and offbeat or was that just your singing? No, it was, he was rushing it for sure. So the background was the actual from the song, butff was singing it weird or it was like a weird out of tune version of that song and he was singing to that beat the former can't you guys ever just like take something i do at face value why do you have to like dissect its meaning and what I did to prepare for it or not?

Let's hear just the song part. What a mighty good plan. Yeah, so this is correct. Yeah. The mighty, mighty good plan. What a plan, what a plan, what a plan. What a mighty good plan.

How much was that plan? $3, I think. I don't know. $5. I didn't look at the itemized receipt. I just was at Gelson's last night, and I bought it. Yeah.

Single, or it's like a six-pack? Four-pack. Three more Flames? Yeah. And honestly, it's not bad. It looks grosser than it is. Um... Three more in Flanigans?

Nice. Yeah. three more in Flanagan's nice yeah real Monday energy to this episode I think it's going fine what the hell is that what's happening what are you doing is that your dog

no this is not my dog it's a tag it's a tag is not my dog. It's a tag. It's a tag. Is that your dog? This is not my dog. This is a tag. Ask again if you think this is my dog. I didn't see it like that.

I just saw this kind of dark blackish gray looking thing near the camera and the last time that happened to me it was a cat I was fostering. Great episode for the audio only listeners for sure. Amir's holding a tag and I asked him if it was his dog. Listen,

how long have we... Marika, you and I, mostly you, host The Pit Wall, an F1 podcast for casual fans, right? Sure. Sorry, can you answer in like a strong affirmative? Yes, I am one of the hosts that has been on it more than you have. very fun show if you like Formula 1 I think there's a lot of good puns good banter there was a whole bit the other week about

who is Zaddy and who is Zun I just think Casey's saying if Blank is Zaddy, Lance Stroll is Zun yeah that was good a lot of quippy one liners but we have a lot of room to grow and improve because the show is still pretty young and we aren't always weekly. I think now we're weekly, but last season we weren't.

So I just thought that we could listen to a little bit of last week's episode and try and get your guys' feedback and notes. Does that make sense? Sure. You weren't on this episode. Right, which is why I'm like, you know, it's, there's no conflict of interest there because I wasn't on it. So I'll be objective. Right. So it's just kind of like, um, a bombardment of me.

We're going to fuck up some rice. All right. Uh, here we go. This is a HeadGum original. Good so far. Yeah, that's normal. Great theme song. Casey made that. Yeah.

Sort of 80s sci-fi. Vroom, vroom. Beep, beep. Love the energy from Casey. Welcome to the pit wall. This is my first episode back. Have all the intros been like this? No. In a way.

Yes. And then Marika lies to the listeners face. Sorry can we stop right there? Can we stop right there? You have the power to. Marika I feel like people come to podcasts for honesty. Would you disagree? Depends on the podcast.

I was wondering which one you were searching for. You got me there. It has been the same. Damn, I love it. The new Casey. Yeah. Trying to open up the show with a lot of energy, trying to scare people when they come back onto the record.

So far, so good. Welcome to the pit wall, everybody. This is a Formula One podcast for casual fans. I'm the pit wall principal, the podcast principal. Jake's not here, but can I give Jake a note? Sure. He's not speaking with the gravitas of somebody who's been in podcasting for almost a decade, right?

Like, he sounds nervous to be on the show. Maybe he was. Right, and I'm just like, yeah. I'm here. Can you call Jake? Call him out? call him right now no and say what and just put him on speaker

and then let him hear me say why don't you call him you have his number and then you can speak directly to him how if I called him how would he hear you you could put the microphone up to the fucking earphones. What is weird about this request?

Right? It seems like there's a middleman here. You can just call him directly. He's not going to pick up my call. That's my thing. But yeah, let's just try. Dane's taking a beat. Yeah, Dane's. And he But yeah, let's just try. Dane's taking a beat. Yeah, Dane's.

And he's right too. God. That's the worst episode ever. Yeah, he blocked you for sure. That might be do not disturb mode. That didn't even ring once. If you call again, it might penetrate the do not disturb shield. Let's just keep going.

Casey Donahue. Sorry, this is the first thing I'm doing all day today. I am the pit wall. Let's skip ahead. I am the pit wall. Because I was at Le Mans. And I... All right.

Sorry, I'm stopping you. Is this a brag fest? It's hard to tell which is last week's... The real me. Yeah, it's nearly impossible to decipher when the clip ends and you guys start talking in here. Alright, do you have a better idea

of how to do this then? Because we have to do it. It was... It was a brag. I don't know. Formula One's a braggadocious space right forget race are you participating in that or I'm just opportunity to brag about going to an esteemed race on the

east side of France I'm gonna do it applause applause applause remember just watching how is this good like Toto said in episode one.

Fine. You know what? Let's just skip ahead to the end of the episode and we'll see how we wrapped things up and then we'll wrap the segment up. I'm going to sponsor Williams for $50,000. Which one is it? Azerbaijan? Sorry. I'm getting confused about if Marika's speaking

or if it's the episode from last week. I'm actually throwing my voice. Meaning? You know like how ventriloquists do? Because you can see her lips aren't moving.

Uh-huh. It just froze and I think it's for the better you're probably right welcome to the price of sprite huge uh you get the price is right rules uh here's what we're Price of Sprite. Huge. Price is right rules. Here's what we're going to do, right? Where do you think most people consume Sprite? The gas station. Right? I don't know about that.

Most? I would have gone like McDonald's. Yeah, restaurants or movies or something. Bottled Sprite. The movies. Bottled. Bottled Sprite, yeah yeah Because you're talking about soda fountains Which is a different sort of economic model Sure, sure, sure, sure Like a 20 ounce bottle?

A glass bottle? What are we talking? Like, yeah, 20 ounce I'm thinking, no, I think the Driving force of the Sprite economy Is the 2 liter Yeah I'd agree with that So pizza places I think the driving force of the Sprite economy is the two liter. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that.

So pizza places. Yeah. All right. Unless they're doing Pepsi. Well, in my head, and this whole segment was based around this, was that people mostly drink Sprite that they buy at a gas station. Sure. I'll take that.

So what we're going to do is, Price is Right rules, I'm going to list out five different gas stations. You're going to say what you think the cost of a bottle of Sprite is there. And then I'm going to give them a call and cross-reference and get the actual answer. Okay. Wait, so these are all in LA? These are all in Los Angeles, California, yeah. Great. So there might be a little bit of a price difference

20 ounce What's that? 20 ounce Yeah, 20 ounce, whatever the normal one is Is that 20 ounces? Yes So, here we go 76, what do you guys got?

Which one? What's that? What area? Hollywood. 219. 219. We've got 219 from Marika. 310. 310. Amir,

what do you got? 279. Alright. Somewhere in the middle. Here we go. I'm calling them. Hey, you've reached Jake. Hey, Jake. Hi, I was just calling to see how much do you guys charge for a bottle of Sprite?

For what? For a bottle of Sprite. I don't know. I'm not the store guy. I'm the mechanic guy. Okay. So should I just pop in then? You want me to transfer you to them?

I can transfer you to them. Oh, that'd be great. It's about two something. Two something? Yeah. Okay. thank you so much dane i'm sorry you uh you didn't get it that's sales time so it's pushing me over let's uh let's give it to amir and marika uh for guessing two something which is what they said it was so that's exactly right. Taking things over to ExxonMobil.

Here we go. Giving them a call. What do you guys think ExxonMobil charges for a bottle of Sprite? Where? In Hollywood. 219. 219. And are we sure all of these have stores in them?

We are. I'm here. Go $2.79. $2.79. Dane? I'm sticking with $3.10. $3.10. Hi, what do you guys charge for a bottle of Sprite in your Quick Mart? A bottle of Sprite?

Yeah. It's maybe $3 or less some. Okay, thank you. And Bottle of Essence, sorry, $2.84. Oh, great. Thank you so much. Thank you. $2.84, he said.

Wow. That's going to give it to... Wait, what did you guys even say? Amir. Yeah, Amir got it closest. I feel like that's plus tax. That's with plus tax? That's just because you want it say? Amir. Yeah, Amir got it closest. I feel like that's plus tax. That's with plus tax? That's just because you want it to be more right.

Shell? What are you guys thinking? I mean, now I'm going to go $2.84. I don't think it's going to differ that much between gas station. Dane, Amir? $2.99. $2.99. And I also think you should clarify

20-ounce bottle. 20-ounce bottle. Dane? $2.70. $2.70. Hi. Hey, what do you guys charge for your 20-ounce bottles of Sprite? Sorry?

What do you guys charge for your bottles of Sprite in the Quick Mart? Like, how much is a bottle? 20-ounce for the bottle of soda? What kind of soda do you need? Oh, just a 20-ounce bottle of soda? Yeah. What kind of soda do you need? Oh, just a 20 ounce bottle of Sprite.

$2.69. $2.69. Okay, thank you so much. I think that was Marika, wasn't it? Dane, you said $2.70. $2.70. Dane is almost

exactly correct. That's actually really impressive arco what are you guys thinking come on let's keep the energy high right i don't understand the energy arco never heard of that arcos are great you don't have Arco? No. But do you have Cumberland Farms? No. But at least I'm not shocked at the notion of there being a regional gas station. You're like, what are you talking about? I wasn't shocked. You said it so weirdly that I couldn't hear what words you said.

Wow. You know what? I try my best to make a fun game for you guys to play on a Monday afternoon. The price of Sprite. I think that's kind of fun. You guys are sitting at me. Yeah, Marika's the only one smiling. Dane looks like he... I'm having fun. What are you talking about? Alright.

Chevron I'm gonna go fucking 219 again alright 245 guys the gas fucking 219 again. Alright. 245. Guys, the gas and fossil fuel industry is not thriving. It honestly started a lot better

than I thought it would. I thought no one was gonna pick up the phone. Well, I think a mere one. But if that's incorrect, I'll fix it in post. Americans really are paying at the pump for Sprite. Nice. The hell is this?

What is this? I try so hard to come up with new inventive segments that that's just like, oh, like Jesse or Paul McCartney, who said this shit? I was calling gas stations. Yes, it's bullshit. The price of Sprite is basically who said this. Jesse or Paul McCartney bullshit.

That's the same. Vinnie Thomas just tried to call me, but I think that he tried to call his cousin because he keeps doing that. He's like, oh, sorry, I meant to call my cousin Greg. Anyway. Plugs. What do you guys got going on? What do you want to point the people to? Unless there's

something else you want to do because this was supposed to be a little bit longer than this, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I want to know what everyone mixes Sprite with. Like if you

were at a, if you were at like a Coke freestyle machine. Yeah. What would your flavor of choice be? I'm a raspberry iced tea kind of guy. So not a Sprite. I was going to say tequila, but I don't think they provide that. I mean, you know, at an AMC with a bar, it's highly possible. I like the cherry derivatives in soda.

Taken to ordering Shirley Temples a lot recently. That's fun. Which is what, grenadine in a Sprite? Yeah. Yeah. Pardon my French, but I think it'd be nice to have like a Petri dish with one bit of spit from every lover I've ever had mixed into the Sprite. one bit of spit from every lover I've ever had mixed into the Sprite. Hmm.

What did you regionally call the drinks where you added all of the sodas? A suicide. Oh. What was that called for you? I don't know if I had a name for it. We called them suicides. Same. I've heard that one.

But. Where the fuck did Amir go? This is literally about to be over in five minutes. I came up with a punch up for the Flan song. Okay. Actually two. One is much shorter and worse. I'll start with that one. Flan, Flan, Flan, flan, flan.

Like the thong song? Correct. Nice. And then this one I like a little bit more. Sorry, I'm going to try and find a karaoke version of it because otherwise it's not going to work. I like that you said you thought of a punch-up and then you were like, this is shorter and worse. The flam!

Have you had flam have you had flam truly jeff sent me a text like a few weeks ago that was a video of uh a thing of reynolds rap foil and it was him picking up the foil and was like, why didn't you say, have you used this? The Reynolds rap. Have you used this? It made me laugh so hard.

Plugs, what do you guys got going on? I'll just plug my shit up top because I like to get the ball rolling. At Jeffrey James on Instagram. That's all I ask of you. And listen to the pit wall. It's better than this made it seem.

We're back. We've been back for like a year. Yeah. So how long can you say we're back? It's like if I wished you a happy new year in March. It still surprises people. That's true. That pesky pandemic

sort of interrupted the whole workflow. Yeah. Expectations of once a week, every Friday. It's been three years. Really? Yeah.

Usually we like to end on a button. I want to see the car that I bought, this model car. This was my I survived Jeff's 24 hour live stream purchase for myself meaning you survived watching it

no producing doing a ton of work for sure for sure ultimately I didn't stay up the full 24. It was more like 18, a break, another day. But honestly, sleeping a little bit is probably harder than not sleeping at all. That's why I didn't sleep.

That's why I didn't end up sleeping for that. So Marie technically had it harder. Because she was like toying with Rem and then it was snatched away. I'm constantly toying with Rem. As established by the text I sent at 3.30am

the other day. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a Hiddem original.
