Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. No news is faux news. No news. I guess we should get this out of the way too. He's not here, but it is Amir's birthday. Let's move on. Nice.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Micah, what's new with you? Are you excited? You told me that you're taking an all inclusive trip to Jamaica yeah it's true and are you excited about that or pumped yeah first weekend in February it's uh no not the first one
Starting point is 00:00:37 okay second uh yeah it's a later weekend in February that I'll be there but is it second or let's nail it down how do you need to know this It's a later weekend of February. But is it second? Let's nail it down. How do you need to know this? Can I ask what all-inclusive means? Everything is paid for. Right.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Up front. you you soldier boy tell him what's wrong you said I was a nothing man with no plans and nowhere to be and no one to see you said that i didn't affect things yeah that was pre-show that was off mic and um that was just to sort of get into a zone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 It was on mic, though. Like, I heard it. And it hurt me. Yeah. No, I didn't say that. I said it was on me at my expense, and it hurt. And it made ennui basically sadness. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Yes. And then you said, let's get the energy up. Great. Oh. Oh. grace you're coming at us what's that i said what's up you're yelling into the mic which you're gonna have to fix later. I know. I'm recording fine.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Yeah. You're worried about us. Don't give her any notes. Why would it? I'm just worried about the mixing. This is the one who's responsible for the mixing. For the mixing, especially the levels, especially like how good it sounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Yeah. So I'm just a little worried about, yeah is right why would you be because it's sort of like this is my job sure right i just i guess just do yours when you go to yeah but when you go to a restaurant you're not like at peace or ease that the chef's gonna cook your steak just so you're like sort of micromanaging every step of the process you're saying like did you take it out of the fridge for 30 minutes before you started putting it on the sear? And just making sure with the waiter. What's that?
Starting point is 00:03:09 That you're a bad customer. The customer is always right, but you're sort of putting that to the limit. Yeah. How do you like your steak? Medium rare. And I thank you not to bring it up again. Been getting into tartar recently. Steak or other.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Grace, you edit. Salmon. Grace, you produce these episodes every week, right? Tuna. Yeah. Am I crazy for thinking that Amir doesn't know how to conversate?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Now, see, I've been editing the As Yet Unreleased episode from last week. Sure. And you two got into it. Okay. About the context of the word wrapping. Yeah. And you two got into it. Okay. About the context of the word wrapping. Yeah. Wrapping. And I'm only bringing this up because I
Starting point is 00:04:11 just listened to it today. I understand that for you it probably happened two weeks ago. This was this week or something. He talked about you doing your yo-yo tricks. Sure, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's awesome. That's awesome. And he'd already rapped right and i thought they're not talking about jeffrey rapping at this talent show okay and then it turned out that
Starting point is 00:04:37 immediately i said that as a joke much to your you were quite upset not yeah sorry much to your you were quite upset not yeah sorry i was he meant like he rapped like oh we rapped shoot and with a w yeah yeah and it sounded like he was rapping like hip hop a hippie to the hippie to the hip hip hop and you don't stop style rapping yeah that's not what i assumed no yeah it's an option yeah anyway just to say that there might be people out there who don't automatically think when they hear the word wrapped that things are done wrapping so you're saying i didn't know how to conversate that i didn't give enough context to the audience i'm just give an example of like sometimes you know you you can only see things how you see it so you
Starting point is 00:05:25 it's kind of like an unreliable narrator i'm just giving you the counterpoint of like maybe there's fault on both sides here so it's not this it's like it's like saying oh that person doesn't know how to play tennis the person opposite me on the court but it's like but what are you serving exactly it takes two to tango in a way well three right obviously the partner and then the instructor and matthew perry yeah so so far i've been called a nothing man i've been told that i don't know where to go at any certain time that i'm always going to be late that i'm not good to be around i've been told that i don't know how be around. I've been told that I don't know how to conversate. I've been told that I don't know how to see things from any perspective other than my own. You're reading a lot into what I said. You're taking
Starting point is 00:06:13 things very personally. I made a series of neutral statements. I don't know if I'm taking anything personal that other people wouldn't also take personal if they were spoken to in those same exact fashion. But you asked, you invited invited the questions so it's for positive reinforcement and constructive criticism feedback in any way i will say i was thinking i was you know the last time i came on i was upset because you started before you said headphones on and then started recording and i was didn't have time to sort my hair out now you can see the effort that went into it the difference it makes that is made you know what yeah i'm gonna be kind of a little i'm noticing this like uneven yeah i wasn't gonna say anything but yeah okay you you don't need to look at my sheets. And that pillow sort of matches my shirt.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah. Blue towel draped over a makeup chair that looks like you got it from an athletic club. Ikea. Try the Ikea bargain bin. Grace hated that. I will sue you if you damage my precious ears. They pay the bills.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yeah, I got worried because that one episode that I didn't mix, or sorry, that I did mix, people said that the sound effects were really loud. They weren't mixed louder than they are on this show, and everybody seems fine. And people were like, I'm going to sue you because I almost got in a car accident. I just said that. What's that?
Starting point is 00:07:54 I just said I was going to sue you. Because you almost got in a car accident. It's like you're only retaining things that you heard recently. Sorry, I was saying I did intend to come on and be nicer and be more supportive but it's hard like it's hard it's hard yeah because like amir says this shit and then amir starts the whole episode really just we're treated with such vitriol right off the bat and it's like unless you combat it with anger before the show even started you said i didn't have plans i really don't think you do i'm sorry what do you
Starting point is 00:08:29 want me to if you want me to be somebody else i that's what i'm saying also do you guys want me to be on time and jovial yeah i'm fine do you guys want me to show up open to conversation? Sure, that would be great. You're the host. Okay. But when I go to a restaurant and I order my food, I'm not open and jovial to the chef. He's providing a service. You're a bad customer.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yes, I'm God's favorite customer. Oh. Sorry. customer oh sorry I wanted to do it on camera because I rarely get to see that usually people are like hiding it or like covering their mouth you know but I'm alone in this room and I wanted to just fucking
Starting point is 00:09:19 full throttle whole hog see what it looks like when I sneeze so I'll review the tape at the end yeah i believe of course of course bleep all of that it has to be bleeped it has to be what do you mean you can't disclose private information on the VOD, whether it's where things are happening, where people live. It's all just creating further work and a potential for one day
Starting point is 00:09:54 messing up irreparably so. Sure. I've done that already. I've gone a bleep away from changing my life forever. I already have forgotten the bleep stuff. I think I accidentally doxed Riley's email address, I think, at one point that I gave away. That's such a small one compared to what you're about to bleep. Don't you think?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Well, because it's, you know, the more the merrier. No, the opposite. Closed. Yeah. And now Grace is yawning. And I will have the fish. And I will have the fish. I think you of not included. And I will have the fish. I think you're in steak.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Oh. What's that? You said you've been eating steak. You like tartar. I have been part, sorry. I've been partaring, partaking. That sounds effective. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Partarking in tartar. From time to to tar where are you getting your tartar you think you could postmates beef tartar i don't think so you don't think a restaurant that has beef tartar would just put it in a fucking styrofoam and tartar is anything raw though you know what you mean so like they do sushi. Yeah, well, you know, tuna tartare, steak tartare, like what you're saying, salmon tartare. You rarely see an apple tartare, but when you bite into a Honeycrisp,
Starting point is 00:11:16 that is what you're having. Does that make sense? You mean applesauce? Sure, applesauce, because it's technically still raw, but I meant truly a full fruit. When you're tearing apart a fucking clementine, right? Yoast or otherwise. That is tartare.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I recently found out, or learned, I should say, how fucked up foie gras is. Foie gras? Yeah yeah what is it they like take a pig and they spank it over their knee and it's unrelated i thought it was like a tender thing it's like you basically take the tenderloin and then you spank it over your own tenderloin yeah basically have to torture a bird that's true their liver yeah but it's how caught i thought is it not no you're just guessing wrong and not listening to anything i'm saying because when you go to a restaurant and you order the foie gras yelling at the chef you're sort of being nasty not yelling at the chef yelling at the wait staff
Starting point is 00:12:14 and the maitre d right because they're my liaise on to the otherwise talk to otherwise. Talk to Grace. I'm going to turn my microphone off. Let's try to get her involved a little more. It's important that everybody touches the ball for an offense to really hum on all cylinders. This is a bizarre choice as a guest. I never need to hear about you saying, touch the ball. She doesn't need you to do this.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Hi. Hey, Jeff, what's up um i'm in sort of a uh transition phase between what i'm just moving me too where are you moving walsall yeah i'm moving i'm moving to a slightly different postcode in Warsaw. Let's hear it. What is it? Don't say it. I'll bleep it out. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Also, it's a block of flats, so you don't know what number. That's fair. I feel like we should move on to something I wanted to talk to you about today, which was that, you I'm kind of like an audit in a way I thought this was coming just of the mixing recently like I feel like
Starting point is 00:13:34 not what I thought was coming I thought no okay oh of your finances no no I thought you were like you wanted to review your performance on the big special episode you did recently. Oh, that. On podcast.
Starting point is 00:13:56 My performance. I actually wanted to talk about that, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Hollywood Handbook episode. That's right. I truly thought that's what you were. It was a debacle right debacle I did you hear
Starting point is 00:14:07 literally heard it here first I ever did when you were listening to that episode Grace did it feel historic or sort of I was gonna try and criticize Grace's mixing infamous notorious in a nasty way did you feel like you were listening to something special did you feel like i gave it everything i had i truly did i what's what was difficult i i you
Starting point is 00:14:33 know i know how much you wanted this this is a dream this is years in this was a vision board sure um so to watch it the thing is i just i feel like i just don't want to know that you're scared you fumbled the bag you fumbled the bag you 100% fumbled the bag like is that what you wanted to hear i think your mistake was having a mirror there. I understand that might have been, like, a non-negotiable thing for them to appear on it, but, like, I think having Amir there kind of changed the dynamic from what could have been, like, hey, you know, I'm, you know...
Starting point is 00:15:15 Do you think three guessed that episode, or would you have replaced me with a different fourth? Um... Yeah, like, could we have gotten like an erica could we have gotten a rochelle you know for that just someone to kind of soften it because it felt like sort of anya would have been good for that i think anya would have been good yeah see i'm saying that you need someone that's going to be nice to you yeah and this is where i'm struggling to come up with a name because it's like who would have been on your side yeah in that situation racking our head it's hard you know because i i really did you know amir have you seen the clip of shannon sharp leaving undisputed oh yeah it was sort of sad talking to Skip and wiping his eyes. So it's basically like...
Starting point is 00:16:05 Put it together. All I ask, when you lay your head on that pillow at night, just know that I gave it everything I had. Yeah, left it all on the field. I gave you everything I had. Yeah. That was it. That was like the best outline we're going to get for an episode.
Starting point is 00:16:23 It had the rice. It had the Jeopardy. It had a rice parody. That was like the best outline we're going to get for an episode. It had the rice. It had the Jeopardy. It had a rice parody. That was pretty good. Scalded rice, cauterized grains seared thus. That's as good as this show gets. Yeah. Jeopardy was great.
Starting point is 00:16:38 With different guests, it would have been a hit. Instead, it was a shit, right? Because they sort of institutionally break things down right yeah and in that way the next time we have them on which i think we should have them on i would have loved to have had them on for this friday's episode what's friday it's the miles episode i just think it'd be funny to have them on twice in a row i see oh yeah back to back after that yeah after such a divisive episode although the comments and the views are just through the roof. Some people love it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 A lot of people love it. I would say it's 70 love, 30% hate though. It's really creating discourse. 100% agnostic, you know, when people don't care at all either way. That's where you don't want to be. Yeah, and we're approaching that territory with this episode, we should say. I think Grace and I are doing pretty good. Oh my god.

You're closer to back, but no. There's a tram named, no. What?
Starting point is 00:19:52 What? This is crazy. I sent Grace a New York Times, I was going to say farticle, but it was more of like a, it's one of the- Pray for help? It was like 36 hours in blank and this
Starting point is 00:20:07 one was 36 hours in bath which is where you're from it was where i was born and nothing from grace she was basically like no response and then did did reply but the reply was sort of a nothing burger yeah it was like it was like let me know when they do one in Walsall. I'm like, they don't. Walsall. They're never going to do that, man. I'm sorry. What's the best fish and chips in Walsall?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Let's put it into 36 hours. I land directly there. What am I doing for 36 hours? Do they even have an airport there? Do they even have one? They have a train station. That's what I'm saying. You can take a plane and land it on tracks.
Starting point is 00:20:45 They have a bus station. So. So what'm saying. You can take a plane and land it on tracks. They have a bus station. So. So what do you want to talk about with Beth then? What do you want me to say? In your, okay. Yeah. We'll do some more of this reversing. Sorry, my whole leg is asleep.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Where are you? I've never seen this room. This is my bedroom. It's the same room I do. Whenever I do this remotely remotely it's always this room oh it looks different i feel like i usually see you in a living room or something with an archway oftentimes we do the living room too yeah oh such bony thin ankles in the background oh my god do those belong to you are you laying on a turkey it's sort of like a body pillow
Starting point is 00:21:23 it looks like a poster of feet dalsim or something just move of like a body pillow it looks like a poster of feet dalsim or something just move your head a little bit it looks like a fucking decal it's a fat head of just my fancles a thin head oh god yeah my whole leg is asleep and it hurts a lot yeah it goes from numb to the tingly and then it's just like really painful grace let's hear about 36 hours in wool salt how do you spell that i can't i can't understand what you're saying w-a-l-s-a-l-l this this is a first for the show is somebody's whole leg being asleep? Maybe. Is it?
Starting point is 00:22:07 What is wrong with you guys? How would we verify that? Yeah. If I went to a restaurant and the chef's leg was asleep, that'd be kind of interesting to me because it doesn't happen every day. Who fucking cares? Your ankles are so bony in the
Starting point is 00:22:23 frame. They're so thin thin how are they thinner than actual bones like there still has to be skin around them and yet look at that it looks like it's just a skeleton like you're lying on a skeleton it's incredible ankles how do you ever get around without hurting yourself you're so top heavy i don't every day is painful which is why i have to numb myself with joy so i arrive in walsall where am i getting a piece of fried cod with crisps by the way i learned recently that i respond to cat you know calling not like by construction workers but you know how cats people with cats are like i can't get enough of that like if you do that to me, I'm going to come over to you.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It must be a genetic thing, right? You can't add meat to those bones through exercise or food. Yeah. You can do squats, but it doesn't add muscle there. You can really see the bone shape. I think it's more of a tendon, yeah. It's so sharp. I mean, Grace, this is alarming, right?
Starting point is 00:23:49 Am I overblowing this? Some people would love this. Some people would. We need a pro version. Hollywood Handbook has the pro version. We need a Patreon for this show where we can do paid feet content. Paid thankle content. And a mailbag. You put a nude on twitter what would the pro version be grace did you see my ass your ass reveal yeah yeah so everybody saw it if grace saw it because she
Starting point is 00:24:20 doesn't actually consume any of this content for free. She does it for work. I think we need a Patreon was my point. Maybe see if we could do like a mailbag. You know, people are mailing me letters, anthrax, etc. Then what is this show? What do you mean? What are we doing? This is the show. This is like the mainstay.
Starting point is 00:24:44 This is what people come for and stay for and then they can't get enough sorry just one second actually i actually did have a question i wanted to ask another one is that um in the room sure so it's it's you amir hollywood handbook casey sure and kevin kevin yeah uh where do you see yourself in the power ranking Casey and Kevin. Yeah. Where do you see yourself in the power ranking? Above or below Kevin? Well, I learned that Kevin owns a house. So I'm probably below Kevin.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Wait, yeah. Dang. Yeah. Well, so Kevin owns a house and you're still hourly. Yeah. And Casey's salaried, actually, so I'm probably below Casey. Ultimately.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Well, you're below Casey anyway. Right. Said with love. Positivity. What's your most... Said with love. Positivity. What's your most expensive... Said with love. ...thing that you own? If it's not a house, like what do you...
Starting point is 00:25:51 Is it a watch, probably? A car? Probably my car. Paying it off or fully owned? Fully owned. More expensive than any watch you have? Yeah. It's a car.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I don't know. I've seen some of those watches that you're trying to sell. They're like $10,000. I'm trying to sell one watch for $12,000, but I bought it from an estate sale for $6,000. That's pretty good. Yeah. That could be more expensive than your car.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah. Because how many miles are on it? $150,000. Yeah. It's probably not worth $12,000. Yeah, it's probably not worth 12 grand. I think it is. It's a Toyota Tacoma. They hold their value. It's probably worth 15.
Starting point is 00:26:32 150K. That's like a good amount for a car. That's a good asset for me to have. I mean, let's take out the Kelly Blue Book during the next break and really start to appraise this. Yeah, let's take out the Kelly Blue Book during this break. A second break for the Kelly Blue Book during the next break and really start to appraise this. Yeah, let's take out the Kelly Blue Book during this break. A second break for the Kelly Blue Book. Grace, can we get a numbers crunch on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma extra cab?
Starting point is 00:26:58 I thought we were going to do it during the break. We love to be back. Come back with the information? You don't want to see Grey searching for it what yeah I'm not searching I'm not moving my hands this is fucked up I'm holding the microphone you want to make me Google Amir's hands free he's been hands free this
Starting point is 00:27:14 whole time he was hands free when he insulted you at the beginning of the show and it's very distressing we haven't even touched the 36 hours in your town we haven't figured out where to get fried tilapia with sides. I'll tell you this about my town. Fishy chips. Sorry. Yeah. What were you saying oh um i don't know
Starting point is 00:28:02 7500 right i was gonna say seven grand so about half the price of the watch but that's just kelly blue book if you go to our auto trader yeah you're gonna see prices more maybe a little more yeah not double i'm on auto trader yeah you don't have to do this now what i'm trying to say is sell the watch i guess yeah i'm trying i'm obviously trying yeah it's hard because the um also why would i have two cars it's crazy how noticeable your ankle is in the frame i can't stop looking at it it's it's cool that you're not ashamed of it like there are parts of my body i wouldn't want on the internet a little bit and you're just like you're almost like framing it up. What are like the two ones
Starting point is 00:28:46 you wouldn't want? Yeah. Ankle and what else? Yeah, I would never tell you. Okay. Because you would just sort of, I don't know, make a game show of it or something. We could do that now. What about a shame show? So it's like a body game show. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Do you ever see the movie Shame? No. Michael Fassbender directed by Steve McQueen. No. Gets his hog out. Big? Fassbender's hog.
Starting point is 00:29:21 No, I'm interested. Happens in the first like five minutes as well so you get okay great so i don't even have to watch the whole thing to see that thing what is this i used to work in a cinema i'll just talk i used to work in a cinema for two years and uh so there's a very specific like period of time. It's just the films that came out from that time. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:57 And one of them was Skyfall. Really? One of the episode week. Yeah. It was the highest grossing film in the UK that year. That's cool. So speaking of, who's your Bond of the episode week. Yeah. It was the highest grossing film in the UK that year. That's cool. So speaking of, who's your Bond of the week, Grace? Bane.
Starting point is 00:30:14 So your Bond of the week is... Pardon? Desmond Bane? No. He's pretty jacked. I think he could do it yeah he's handsome
Starting point is 00:30:26 you guys are talking about two different Banes I mean you're just talking about Desmond Bane the NBA player you're talking about Bane who's a character from the DC Comics universe
Starting point is 00:30:36 from Batman so that's just that's too much IP to mix that'd be like if you went to a restaurant and you were like can I get
Starting point is 00:30:44 the surf and turf and the scallops and chicken that's too much the surf and turf is not scallops and chicken i said that's like going to a restaurant getting the surf and turf and the scallops and chicken which is lobster and uh i almost said a sandwich steak Steak. Yeah. Best shop. But we did just say that he was talking about Desmond Thain. In Walsall.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Where is it and where? A shop to get crisp cod. Where is it and where? There's a bunch of them, man. There's a place you can get battered chips they're really good battered what's the difference one basket of fries got the shit beat out of it bony a loose chicken goni
Starting point is 00:31:38 you're a bony gony um Abelwell fish bar that's good wait sorry it's like a bar for ales and pints but actually for fish and uh
Starting point is 00:31:53 sours what's a sour it's like a beer that tastes sort of tart I meant to say fries oh I used to work in a craft ale bar
Starting point is 00:32:02 a craft ale bar everything A craft ale bar. Everything in England is like slightly different. It's kind of interesting. Why? And I'll stand up next to you. I did clip that time. That's good. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:32:18 You just took your country so much. It's not good. It's just different. You think you're going to bleep the information earlier that I didn't want out there? Was that more of a cut it out situation? Because it didn't really blend into anything after the show. I'll probably cut it out, I guess. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:35 It doesn't matter. It'll get out there for sure. Is that what I'm saying? No, I'm saying I'll cut it out for sure. And then the information will find its way. Do you think if I called... The way it fucking swings around like a metal rooster. Let me ask you this. Do you think if I called TMZ with information about your ass,
Starting point is 00:32:57 they would publish it? Or do you think you're not famous enough? One time a paparazzi photographer came up to me at an airport. I'm like, do you even know me at an airport i'm like do you even know who i am like not do you know who i am kind of way yeah why are you talking to me like from youtube videos he's like yeah i love your shorts like with like uh the camera he's like so like what are you up to i'm like i don't know i'm going to my parents house like yeah all right all right not all right that was ever on tmz i don't think so they just wait at the airport
Starting point is 00:33:26 until they recognize somebody is what i'm trying to say sure which he definitely recognized you he must have yeah but he was like a 24 year old paparazzo and he's like i'm like this footage isn't useful to anybody but that's the thing paparazzi are all like they're just individual people with a camera and they take the footage they take the picture and then they try to sell it right they just dump it on the ground like a fisherman like is any of this worth anything and then exactly no no no but it's all barnacles interesting yeah that video of you was a barnacle yeah exactly yeah oh well i guess it was kind of fun a fun moment in my life yeah now i know how bieber feels when he's at a restaurant being rude to his staff.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Here's my take on that. Like Justin Bieber, there's constantly videos of him getting angry on Rodeo Drive. You are in the heart of paparazzi country, though. If you don't want to be around them, don't live and work in Beverly Hills. That's my thing. There's so many other places in LA to get incredible estates. Go live in Pasadena. I've never seen a paparazzo in Pasadena and the houses are old, beautiful, and huge, right? You chose to live in Beverly Hills. You chose to do your grocery shopping at Erewhon in Beverly Hills. You're going to get your photo taken. You know what I mean? Or like
Starting point is 00:34:45 Malibu. Nobody's ever in Malibu. A lot of famous people are in Malibu. No, no paparazzi. They're not? I'm sure I can search Lindsay Lohan in Malibu and find a lot. Then fucking Frogtown then.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, I guess. I mean, they'll go wherever the famous people are sure but sometimes the famous people call the paparazzi because they want like the publicity okay so we should do that completely pivoted right like pivoted. Right? Like... Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian are having a baby. Who?
Starting point is 00:35:34 Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian. Oh yeah, I saw that on Twitter. I didn't know that. It's kind of a power couple. Kind of an old couple nice no I'll take that that was mean I'm also actually 40
Starting point is 00:35:52 do you think I look 40 you can be honest with me no but I'm bad at I wouldn't say that you and Jeff are that far off in age. Sorry, one second. I can't hear Grace. I wouldn't personally have said that you and Jeff were that far apart in age. Right. Like, he looks like in his late 20s and I look like in my mid-30s. But it's actually like 25 and 40.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah, you could be his dad. Wait, were you guys hearing that? Oh, yeah. I was trying to talk over it. Oh, sorry. I was just trying to listen to some music. Only on my end. Did you ever hear the Tom Jones cover of that?
Starting point is 00:36:41 There's a Tom Jones cover of that? Burning down the house? Like tom jones like it's not unusual to be loved by anyone yeah yeah This is the version I'm familiar with. He is enunciating way too much. Do you guys think Tom Jones is good and dead? Just fucking say it, man. Just ask the question.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Jeff, I'm listening. There's this log jam of fucking half-baked ideas in your head, and none of them are making it through to your mouth. Jeff, please don't get disheartened. I want to know what you're talking about. Ask. This is the first thing I'm interested in. All that Beverly Hills and Erewhon conversation. It's like, now we're talking about Tom Jones. This first thing i'm interested in all that beverly hills and
Starting point is 00:37:45 erwan conversation it's like now we're talking about tom jones this is the real shit let's go what do you want to say at jeffrey james on instagram at jeff by already on twitter you guys plug your shit i'm gone i'm ghost i'm sorry unbelievable you know he's just doing this to make me look bad now i'm the asshole right because i ended the show he's just doing this to make me look bad. Now I'm the asshole, right? Because I ended the show. He's ending the show. I wanted to know the question too. We can just carry on. Let's go, man. Good.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So I'm at OKBloomer on TikTok. I hear they sort of rejiggered their algorithm now like people are. Getting paid more, but you got to make one minute long videos. But the CPMs are through the roof. So you got to watch us on there. Instagram, still in the process of trying to unload that name, but it's still mine, which is at Amir. What do you think will sell first, your Instagram handle or Jeff's $12,000 watch? Oh, that's a really good question.
Starting point is 00:38:47 I don't know. They're kind of both valued the same right now. It's whichever one wants to pull that trigger faster. I think the watch will go faster because selling an Instagram handle is kind of clunky. I'd have to just literally give him the password or whoever wants to buy it, probably an Amir. And then he would just,
Starting point is 00:39:04 all my followers would be following him, which is kind of confusing. You buy a watch, you buy a watch. That's just your watch. It's pretty clean transaction. The best. What's that?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Oh, yeah. oh yeah that was a hit gum original
