This is a HeadGum, first of all, HeadGum sketches are back. YouTube.com slash HeadGum. If you're watching this video, you can also click on this channel. People were saying that you look great. Oh, really? I didn't see any of those comments. I saw some that said we look older. I didn't see anyone that said anyone specifically looked great.

There were some compliments about Riley's jumpsuit, I should say. Yeah. I feel like, but you specifically, I think, latch on to minor criticisms instead of seeing the praise that's maybe on the table. No, I pretty much searched for praise with a fine-toothed comb and I didn't find any.

You have to make sure that everything I said before is cut. I'm not gonna... Yeah, that's not a fun doc. Monday, that Monday feeling, right? Lots of business being handled. We're coming off, hot off the presses of the pit wall. Yes.

Well, I wasn't on it, so it might have been the shit wall. No, it was the pit wall because Allie was the guest. Allie seems like a better host of the show than me. I should be the rotating occasional. Well, don't be so quick to say. You're also already the rotating occasional. You've never not been that. Of course.

Why do I get lambasted every time I miss every two episodes? Your mic's on, right? I want to make sure everything's rolling over. That's why I started recording. Are you I miss every two episodes. Your mic's on, right? I want to make sure everything's running. That's why I started recording. Are you sure, though? Yes. I adjusted the setup, all right? The only thing that I changed was that I am the captain now, right?

But, like, the Zoom is recording. The Zoom is recording you. The microphones. The Zoom of microphones is recording y'all. Audition session's good to go. Untitled session 14. And then the control panel is recording. Yeah, and I'm sure the video files are going to be labeled for the pit wall also.

That is true. That is true. You didn't ask me if I had started my recording on my end. Well, we've got the backup. We've got the backup from the Zoom, right? We're already 34 minutes late. I don't like that I can't see you, Jeff. I don't like that I can't see Marika either.

You can. Marika. It's kind of interesting. If you press your button for your camera, Marika will see you. Yeah. If I press my button for my camera? Yeah. He was doing that.

Okay. A second ago. Was I? Did you not do that on purpose? No, because I'm not in the Zoom. I'm not in the Zoom because I walked into the pit wall. What's that? You are in the Zoom. Is she seeing the live edit? Yes. Yes. Oh. That's kind of cool. But you can't see me.

So if you press your button for your camera she'll see you only when you want her to see you what what's with the energy shift it was the same fucking episode the same setup as everything is the pit wall ali's pissed no i'm i'm not mad at you everything's okay four years of therapy with one con one con swoop more technology back here than ever before

let me open up photo booth on here well actually I'm not sure if I should but I'm gonna open photo booth so I can like show everybody in like like, a... Yeah, no, that's not going to work. I wanted to show everybody how many screens are here, right? Uh-huh.

And so I guess I'll just take an iPhone video and I'll plop it in. Well, you can grab the GoPro and kind of wave it around at everything back there. I don't think it creates the real fishbowl effect. So here's the real setup, right? This is the control board for the video, right? This is the Zoom which has to be on and

recording in the audition session, so it's a backup, right? Then we have my outline right here, and then we have my soundboard connected to the thing that's on the zoom that is connected to marika on that screen so that they can see her i mean there has to be a better way than this what do you say it was all what do i i'm not the engineer you are right now well right now yeah i meant the engineer of the studio you know like you

wouldn't bring me in you'd bring me in as a session recorder uh recordist at you know abbey road you wouldn't bring me in to redesign abbey road yeah i'm flattered that you are comparing our studio setup to abbey road marty asked me three years ago what should the studio look like i, why not just make it look like every road? That's a true story, and that's why the walls are white. And that's why the panels are beige.

And that's why there's like a red rug underneath. But we got that with a gift card. The rug? The rug was bought with a gift card. Marika, don't just go, like, say some shit. add to the fucking cultural conversation they're in i can't really ultimately oh it's such i was on the phone with my sister this is awful already i was on the phone with my sister right before i walked in she said uh i she knew i was about to

go into record because i was like that's why i was signing off, and she's like, oh, is it gonna be good? And I was like, I don't know. Are you nervous? And I'm like, I'm definitely not nervous, but it's not always up to me, is what I told her, right? It's up to the energy that mostly Marika brings. I don't think it helps when you

like, I don't think it helps when you point it out, you know what I mean? Like oftentimes you, you're like, you do a little mimic of my voice and like the monotone. And then you're like, are you seeing this shit to who's whoever's in the room? It like doesn't really like,

it kind of prolongs the moment. You know what I mean? It kind of prolongs the moment You know what I mean It kind of prolongs the moment Are you guys kidding me No I agree I agree Oh this is cool The Quentin Time Tour

What artist is that Oh it's Zach Bryan What are you looking at I have an ad What was I about to just say Oh we've been banking episodes, right? Because every year It's kind of a mad dash in December

To try and have all of us be able to take time off That's happening a lot around here Everybody doing that? A lot of banking happening right now I think it imbues a certain joy, Allie Sure Jarred joy Jarred joy, yeah

But that being the case, these episodes are not week to week. They're back to back some days. And so like last week, I did an episode, I forget who exactly was on, but Amir was on and his energy was awful.

It was sour. He was clearly like down or tired. Yeah. And then the next day, like same exact amount of effort that I put into the record and it was a hit because like a lot of people

were bringing the energy especially Amir he was like in a better mood so that's just all I'm trying to say so what should we be doing differently I fear y'all put everything you had into the pit wall interesting that's definitely true this is it's fucked

up why is it fucked up doing the scheduling yes Marika no go ahead I want to hear this anya's doing the scheduling i'm trusting her to get guests that aren't going to be depleted right right well actually to peek even further behind the curtain uh we got a we got a uh like a google doc sent to us google cal no this was a doc. Okay. You're doxing my docs, but continue. That was just asking like, hey, add yourself to the HeadGum podcast recording.

So you're taking even more responsibility. I was trying to put it on Anya, who's not in the room. I purposely picked slots for myself to be on this show that line up with recordings of the pit wall. Pit wall, yeah. That way you don't have to keep coming in on days you weren't going to come in. Yes. Exactly right. I get how it all works.

People like to think that I'm some idiot. I ultimately decided to come on the podcast today after getting out of a doctor's appointment because Amir was supposed to be on this episode. I'm sorry to interrupt. Fibromyalgia? What's the diagnostic? Fiber is somehow related.

I got a scan of my teeth and my bone is turning to fiber. We got to figure this shit out, guys, because that's not good to hear about. People can't be on their morning commute hearing about how Marika's bone structure is turning to fucking grains. Yeah. I'm a

erratus of myself. What is this show? I paid $735 today for someone to tell me. Yeah, it was the full thing. That's the energy I'm bringing. Here's the issue. this show has become us complaining about each other I'm wondering if we

reconnect as friends okay sure I do want to say though I think it would be really funny if one day we had someone reading energies on the podcast like in the middle of the episode have you guys seen those aura photos yeah what if we got someone to do that for the black magic

so I'm like cutting to Allie and she needs more like loyalty in her life and Casey's like I guess I was a gambling addiction No I'm a very responsible gambler I love to gamble That's cool

What the hell was that? I don't know I was just looking at you I love to gamble But I'm very strict with it I create an allowance Just for gambling It's pretty good Fun

Are you a gambler? No, I like my money Well you can get more money The thing about gambling is you can use your money to get more Or you can get less Or you can get less. Or you can get less, but that's the thrill. Bond of the Week.

My Bond of the Week is Matthew Morrison because it's time for a Bond of the Glee. That one was for Allie thank you I loved it not for me

well I can't see you Marika that's fair I didn't laugh I just kind of it was like a resigned sigh what do you mean you can't see her

she's not on that screen no I'm not mirroring because I don't want you to have to look at the soundboard okay not fair Bond of the Week my dad

you how so I think it's time for him to break into acting Peter Kahn what's his name Tony Fair. Bond of the week? My dad. How so? I think it's time for him to break into acting. Peter Kahn? What's his name? Tony. Tony Kahn. I was...

Casey asked how to pronounce my last name earlier, and I said, like, James. Is that not hurtful to you? What has it been, two and a half years he doesn't know how to say your last name? I wanted to make sure I was saying it correctly on a podcast record. I think that's a professional courtesy. And you didn't let Allie speak. I said, how does that make you feel, Allie? And then you jutted in and you said how you felt.

That's a great point. That's a great point. And I'm listening and I'm here to listen. Okay. And I want to hear what you have to say. Thank you. You're welcome. You know, if the roles are ever reversed, I'll ask you for confirmation

before we record too. So I don't say Donahoe? That happens. No, it doesn't. It does. Nobody ever doesn't know how to say Donahue. Oh, you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to say Casey. What do you get? Cassie? Cassie?

Cassie Durnerhaw? Yes. How do you say it in like an Irish accent? Darnag. I don't know what the Irish accent is. You're adding a G into my name there. I get that. Also, the Q has gotten messed up.

How do you feel about Casey not knowing how to pronounce your last name? You know, it would be nice if he did. I do know. But you do know. Now you do. And I think you maybe did before. I did. I just wanted to make sure.

Confirmation, yeah. Eighth grade style. Yes. Marika? Is this about Allie's last name? No, just what's the worst? So let's all go down the line. What's the worst way somebody has mispronounced your name?

Oh, God. Where to begin? I get a lot of weird letters added to my name. Okay, I thought you meant in the mail. I'm like, do you need a security detail? I get weird letters in the mail. I'd love to get fewer mails.

Letters. You know what I mean? And then the worst way someone's ever said your name? I would say that Jeff Rubin Let her speak. Wait, yeah, what did Jeff Rubin say? Because it wasn't that bad. He said Merica.

Yeah, that's like the most common one, and it is ultimately annoying. And people then will use it as like a joke, which is also annoying. But I've gotten Martika, I've gotten Malika, I've gotten Mabika. That's crazy. I've gotten Barika.

Barika? Yeah. I thought that's just what they call baristas at your coffee shop. At Marika's coffee shop. At Marika's coffee shop they call them Barikas. My friend Dom did call you Malika last week on the episode. So I'm sorry about that. I did.

Yeah, I met him walking out. I heard about that. I'm sorry about that. I did. Yeah, I met him walking out. I heard about that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about him. He was fine. It was just that like we got to lament about how you are kind of always running late. I was on time that episode. You were late in leaving for the airport.

I wasn't there. I don't know what they're talking about. So what about Brownlee? Anybody say Brownlee wrong? airport. I wasn't there. I don't know what they're talking about. So what about Brownlee? Anybody say Brownlee wrong? No, I don't think so. I feel like that's kind of the easy part.

People spell it with a Y sometimes. Okay, so Barica Brownlee with a Y is the worst way somebody said something. Balika maybe. Balika. Casey, what about you? My bond of the week is John Cena because you can't see bond

yeah and then the worst way somebody's ever mispronounced your first and last Cassie people add G's to my to Donahue Donago Donagoo Donagoo

Cassie Donagoo Donna Spew That feels like Yeah And then Ali I've gotten Ali Khan But also Ali Khan yeah yeah and then ali let's hear it i've gotten ali khan but also ali khan k-a-h-n and i plugged that into youtube once and there is a singer named ali khan who's a man is somewhere in the

desert middle east area i don't remember where exactly and it was a music video of him on a sand dune with like a lot of ladies wow so being on a sand dune with a lot of ladies. Wow. Being on a sand dune with a lot of ladies is the equivalent of if you're in Miami, shout out Casey, be on a yacht. Yeah, I kind of shout out to my name twin. I hope his career's flourishing. I have a name twin also

that's a professional singer. Really? Casey Donahue is a country singer. Sorry, we're really just timing wise he spells a h-e-w and I've never seen that spelling before this show is sponsored by better help guys if you had an extra hour in your day how would you spend it because I would absolutely fix all of my problems with the extra hour that's the issue is that there aren't 25 hours in the day. So I can't become a better version of me.

Does that make sense? But maybe you would want to go for a run or go for a nap or go for reading a book. Because a lot of us spend our times wishing that we had more time in our day. And the question is, time for what? Because if time was unlimited, how you would use it would infer your mental health and your happiness and your joy.

A Killer Whale found the coins? No, no, no, no, no, no. That was going to be interesting. I didn't click on the headline. It's about headlines, not the actual news articles. Okay, all right. CBS News found the news. I don't know who found the coins. Gotcha.

Killer Whales sink yacht in 45-minute long attack. So what? Well, no, I like that. I'm pro-Orca. That's really good. Pro-Orca. Yeah. Yeah, me too.

In Majorca. Yeah, I'm kind of interested in the rebellion. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. This seems to be happening a lot. It is a movement. Yeah.

I think it's cool. It is the French revolution of the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. And which it's cool. It is the French Revolution of the Ocean. Yeah. And which one is Robespierre? I don't know. Which whale? The killer whale. Free Willy.

If you think Free Willy is still alive. No, he's more of like a. He's like the symbol. Nelson Mandela. Yeah. Because he's on his. If he's still alive, he's on his last legs. The Free Willy effect.

That's pretty good. Okay. I'm going to. Yeah gonna yeah i'm gonna move on my boyfriend and i finally fulfilled my greatest fantasy and it was a disaster oh no congrats so what congrats careful what you wish for yeah this is a headline from the news yeah that one's from CBS News. What was the fantasy? And this segment is about headlines? Oh, sorry. I just feel like, okay, okay, sorry. It was voyeurism. What do you think the fantasy was?

And it ended up being a nightmare? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't want to kink shame. Yeah, but try. And you don't want to, but try. We try and you don't want to but try we should all shame one kink right now one two three go scat play yeah disgusting ultimately it's that one yeah i think fire play because ultimately if it's not controlled you might burn down the neighborhood

and that's not fair nobody else is that what. Is that what you'd consider like wax play? This is wax play, by the way. Yeah. I'm fired, I think. Burning all of us with wax. Burning all with wax. No, wax play is like a candle. I mean more like

in Live and Love, Eat a Loco when she pours the candle on her keyboard. You know, Marika makes a good point. Maybe I'll change it to knife play because I think that's just pretty dangerous.

I don't know how you could do that safely. You're gonna shame you're gonna kink shame the knife? I'm gonna shave shame. Nice. Okay, go on.

I don't think people should shave. Ever. Okay. Allie, one kink you'd love to shame um scare kink

like boo and then people kind of finish get out of here with that somebody watching and listening is like Marika or like Marika? Or sorry, Barika? Barika?

Oh, I thought I agreed with Casey. For sure. Yeah. You know what scat play is? It's like shit. Yeah, it's like shit. It's like boop-boop-boop-boop-dee-bop. That's disgusting.

That's a disgusting way to put it. That's scat man play. Yeah. That's both of it. That's, yeah. It's that and your bee-bop-boop-bop-dee-bop. That's disgusting. That's a disgusting way to put it. That's a scatman play. Yeah. That's both of it. That's, yeah. It's that and your... Be-bop-boop-a-dee-bop.

Kanye West and Daughter North share quality time together in Dubai. So what? So what? Yeah, I really don't care about that. Yeah, I don't care. Yeah, me either. The real problem with Madonna's face?

Our fearful self-loathing. So what? What do you guys think about that, though? That's kind of interesting. People keep criticizing Madonna, and they're saying that her face is different. It is different. But is it that her face is different,

or that we hate ourselves? No, her face is different or that we hate ourselves no her face is different for sure but I don't think it's mutually exclusive you know heard it all I can't screen share to the frame. There it is. Never mind.

This sucks. Yeah, what's happening? This sucks. Yeah, what's happening? Welcome to Pollywood. Keep going. This is one where I think this segment is good but I couldn't nail down the name.

Politics Wood. Oh, that's not where I thought this was going. I know. It sounded like polycule. Yeah. Basically, these are all celebrities who have gotten involved in politics recently. Recently is actually pretty

generous. It's in the last like 10 years. But basically, I'm going to read a controversial quote and then you guys have to match it to one of the celebrities on the board. Oh, and it's only these celebrities? It's only these. And we've got, we've got...

Yeah, Casey, go ahead. We got Jaden Smith. We got Oprah Winfrey. We got Tommy Lee Jones, Emeril Lagasse. Is that Francis Ford Coppola? Yep. I don't know the blonde woman. Amanda Seyfried.

Amanda Seyfried, that's right, from the movie Christopher. Wait, is it? I think, yeah. From left to right, bottom to top, or top to bottom. Fergie, Oprah,

Tommy Lee Jones, Wolfgang Puck, Jaden Smith, Amanda Seyfried, Emeril Lagasse, and Francis Ford Coppola. Yeah. Got it.

All got it? Yeah. All right, here we go. This is, some of these need context, but most of them are just straight quotes. This is on the topic of the 2024 California Goober National Election. So this is for the governor.

As long as I can still log into Pornhub in my state, I'm good with either guy. This is real? These are all 100% real. Who's the third one? That's Tommy Lee Jones. I think it's Tommy Lee Jones. I think it's Wolfgang Puck.

I think it's Wolfgang Puck too. Edit point. I've started doing that, Casey. That's good. That's a good good system That's Oprah Winfrey What? I don't believe that What's the quote one more time? As long as I can still log into Pornhub in my state

I'm good with either guy She said this Yeah Okay This is 100% true What's her state? California Montecito Thank you She lives there Which is more of a state of mind I believe said this. Yeah. Okay. This is 100% true. What's her state? California. Montecito. Thank you. She lives there.

Which is more of a state of mind, I believe. Adam Levine, Oprah Winfrey, Harry and Megan. Harry and Megan. Neighbors. Larry David has a place up there. Jeff Bridges sold his spot. I love Jeff Bridges. More than a spot, really. He's got a whole estate.

Moving on. Owning a gun is as fundamentally American as porcelain skin. Weird. Okay. Fergie. Um. It's so funny to not see you. And know that, like, you're on the screen behind me, and then I'm hearing you in my ears so it

really does just feel like you're behind me and I heard you just go Fergie? Is that you? I'm gonna go with Emeril Lagasse Okay and I'm gonna go Coppola That was Amanda Seyfried

I knew it was going to be but I didn't want to put that on her because I think she deserves better. She's like surprisingly country because she lives upstate on a farm. Yeah, but not in a bad way. I mean, I don't know. I feel like she probably owns a gun in a fine way.

The real issue in this quote is that she thinks being American means you have white skin. Again, I think I don't want to put on her. What are your sources? The sources are CBS News all the way through. Here we go.

The nuclear family is the best form of governance. Well, so I hear. My parents have never even met each other. Jaden Smith. That's absolutely correct. Nice one, Casey. All right, moving on. The opioid epidemic

doesn't hold a candle to bad infrastructure. Try complaining about fentanyl on a shitty bridge. That's right. You can't. Fergie. Tommy Lee Jones.

Fergie, Fergie. Not bad guesses all around, but that ultimately was Wolfgang Puck. Well, Fergie famously sang about that bridge. Every time you come around. Yeah. My London Bridge will only go down. Yeah. Well, and she's a recovered addict. Every time you come around Yeah Yeah

Well and she's a Recovered addict Is that true? Crystal meth Really? Yeah If this isn't true this is the meanest thing you've ever said No I'm serious

Moving on to Okay I don't understand why people don't like When the price of milk goes up Don't you want your milk to be more valuable? Francis Ford Coppola Emeril That was Tommy Lee Jones

Yeah No Yeah now that you've revealed it Yeah that's right Here we go When a woman's Yeah try again So fucked up of him

To say Oh yeah of him to say What did he say And just this is not This is this person You got this from CBS News What did you say? And just, this is not, this is this person. Yeah. Right. You got this from CBSNews.com. Oh, no.

What is this? What did they say, Jeff? Just tell us. What did Emer say, Jeff? Just tell us. What did Emeril say? If you guys don't think this is funny, this sucks. This is so horrible. Well, don't worry about it.

It's not like something you learned or anything. This is a quote from one of the... What does Hulk Hinkpuck say? Just tell us. When a woman's health is most at risk, that's when abortion should be the most illegal. Because let's face it, that's gotta be one hell of a kid in there

bam Oprah Oprah. I think it's Francis. It's so horrible. So horrible. I can't believe it. so horrible and then the wrong I can't believe you just said sorry

so who said it that was Francis Ford we have to take another break sorry yeah oh i was just gonna say this is a sorry deposit do do we have our our mario i already told okay katie that we are still in the recording, though. Okay, perfect. That's all I wanted to know. What?

That's tomorrow, right? No. The Mario Kart thing? That's on the 14th. It's on December 7th. And tomorrow's November 7th. Yes. Yes.

Okay. That was all I wanted to ask. Back to the show. I'm all for a public option, but I don't think that single-payer health care... We're still playing the game? Yeah. Okay. I'm all for a public option, but I don't think single-payer health care is realistic.

I mean, even if one person did have all that cash, do you really think they'd want to spend it on poor people's kidneys and junk? I guess it's Emeril, right? It's the last one. Do you really think they'd want to spend it on poor people's kidneys and junk? I guess it's Emeril, right? It's the last one. No bam after that, though. He wasn't kidding. Exactly right, Marika.

That was Emeril Lagasse. Wow. He said that? Yeah. To CBS News? And this was, it wasn't in an interview to CBS News, but CBS News did report it. Oh. Anyway.

Don't meet your heroes, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think people have ever thought that about you, Marika? They've met you at shows and stuff.

Probably. Horrible. I would say definitely yeah um that was all I had planned for the episode well no let's just hang out

it's always the bid it's always oh Jeffrey can't prepare he's an asshole but let's just be friends what are you guys most interested in life right now about what are you most interested in right now in life a real topic something that people might find interesting um i mean that that's that's a loaded question i think because of what we talked about no matter what what. No matter what anyone could say, they're saying the wrong thing.

Well, now it's turning into a Casey's druthers. Give me a second. Start going now. Oh, I don't. All of my druthers I cannot speak about here in this forum. And that's the end of my druthers. I don't know. Jeff, how are you?

You're busy? Casey, two minutes and 45 seconds on the board. All right. It's too dry here in LA these days. My allergies have been going wild recently. I am waking up congested. My eyes are watering. They're itchy. It sucks. I should not have to live like this for two months out of the year. You know what I mean?

That's the biggest thing in my life right now that I'm dealing with physically day to day is breathing through my nose. Why is it such a challenge? Why can't the world we live in just be livable for all of us? That's it. And I think we need to change the playoff structure of the MLB. I think it's weird that the wild cards were in the World Series and all the teams that won over 100 games were bounced pretty quickly. I think we need to do something about that. I hope that when Allie takes her driver's test, that she only has one person giving her the test from the pit wall.

Sorry, I forgot. We've been reporting for three hours now. When you go to the movie theater, you should not be talking to anybody. It's just you and the screen. What do you have to say to your neighbor? Wait until the credits. One more minute. One more and and one more minute a halloween candy the chocolate's gotten worse across the board is that true or have your taste buds changed maybe they maybe have become more of a grown-up the chocolate and a Reese's just doesn't hit like it

used to do you think butterfingers taste different what's that I like butter fingers that they taste I think they taste great but they get stuck in my teeth and I not a fan teeth and I'm not a fan. I feel like we had a minute. 30 seconds. 30 seconds. Always look out for number one. What?

I hope that's mixed exactly how I heard it I'm planning on not touching it Grace don't pick it better that was perfect yeah I'm interested because I could barely hear Casey always look out for number

one I also I I wanna just say that every time someone else does a druthers, you love to interject, but when I do a druthers, I'm not allowed to talk to other people.

It's not not allowed. It's that I trust you to have druthers. Casey needed training wheels. I found some. I found have druthers. Casey needed training wheels. I found some. I found some druthers. Yeah, I thought he did a great job. You're pretty proud of yourself right now. Like, I've never seen you look that

smug on the show. I got a lot off my chest just then. You didn't know what to say. Yeah, but then I followed my heart. Yeah. This was my first druthers. Do you mean you got a lot? Then I followed my heart. Yeah. Yeah. This was my first druthers. Do you want a druthers?

No. Okay, here we go. No, no, no. I think that's probably a lot. Allie's druthers, man. Why didn't you tell me? Minute and 35 seconds on the board. Go.

Okay, why didn't everybody tell me that my hair looked bad sooner? I just told you. Not quick enough, Casey. I should have said nothing at all. No, I'm sorry. Yeah. I don't know. I don't have a lot of issues, I guess, right now.

I wish that I had more time. I feel guilty all the time. And I think I'm bad at everything all the time. But I'm working on it in my head right now I'm going I hope the druthers is going okay what if everybody thinks my druthers is the worst druthers of the old druthers and it was a big regret it won't be maybe this druthers should have just stopped while we were ahead but now we're too far in and we just got to see it through.

And everyone's just got to ride the ride with me. Oh, no. And I hope, I bet my hair still looks bad. 30 seconds. Looks good. Keep going. Looks good. Now keep going.

Okay. I hope that everything goes okay today and it's an okay Monday. Something's all right. 20 seconds. I hope that everything goes okay today and it's an okay Monday. Something hot takes. What? 20 seconds. 20 seconds. Oh, my God. If I was in charge of a battleship, we would sink.

Oh, my God. Pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good Yeah Pretty good Yeah Marika do you want to round us out we do have five more

minutes pretty much do you want to I don't want to do I don't want to do five minutes No not the full five minutes but we might have to do

a Marika's Druthers for sure here we go Marika's Druthers Oh it's a more I'm just kind of thinking It's a little more grounded

Marika Yeah I kind of feel like i can't match the energy of those and i think it might be because i'm in my home uh not in the studio with everyone and i feel kind of isolated and i've had a hard time hearing everyone's uh their druthers and it seemed like a lot of fun in there but ultimately like now i don't even know if you can hear what i'm saying because the music's so loud and that's kind of stressful um and it's also almost 4 30 and i've done no work today except for this work uh and i have to go to a

live show tonight and also do other work and eat food and I don't know how I'm gonna do all those things so now I'm a little stressed about that and those prospects ultimately and I kind of just want to sleep for a really long time I think that it's crazy that like people can just commute and then get home and then also like cook a full meal and like still feel okay with their lives like I get home and then I just like lay on my couch for an hour. Yeah. Plus. That was easy.
