This is a HeadGum Original.
Previously on the HeadGum Podcast.
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
uh i would say that jeff let her speak what no 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
That's why we're getting rid of it I hear
Where's it going? Lumber?
Just start the
fucking episode
Lumber? Just start the fucking episode.
Lumber.
Why doesn't Jeff wear headphones?
He's the engineer.
What I will say is that,
first of all, I can't hear, yeah,
I can't hear the sound effects whatsoever.
Why?
These cameras, we've got two of them.
Hold on.
I have so many questions.
And I don't mind it.
You didn't reset the cameras.
I didn't reset the cameras.
He's not listening to the audio he's recording.
The headphones are right outside.
I can go get them.
I think you probably should.
If y'all could just kind of steer the ship while I'm gone Do you want me to fix the cameras?
You're a host
Of the fucking pit wall
Why don't you take over
We could do
You know what we should do
Are all the mics on even?
All the mics are on
Yeah I'm hearing y'all
No you're not hearing
You're not hearing anything
I'm hearing all four of you
He's hearing us like
In the room
Yeah you're not hearing
The microphone
Right yes
But I'm getting levels
On everything
The only thing is that
Are we peaking?
You're being really loud.
Like, does it sound good or bad?
Well, you need a monitor.
It looks like it sounds good.
Who's three?
That's you, Allie.
I guess so.
Yeah, say something.
All right.
No, not for levels.
Like, say something awesome.
Say something awesome.
I'm talking you.
Jeff, is your mic on?
Because I can barely hear you.
My mic is on.
We're getting some good-ass levels on my shit.
How can you tell if you're not?
Because I'm riding them.
I'm riding the levels like a bucket.
It's a visual thing for him?
It's kind of like how some people can visualize color.
Synesthesia.
That's it with the audio.
Jeff, I always thought you were like Lord.
The Lord?
Lord the musician or Brian?
No, L-O-R-D-E. Our God
and Savior. Famously synesthesia.
I always thought you were like a little
Lord. Like someone
who owns a little bit of Farquaad.
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
I don't know what, everyone
else seems to have that Friday feeling other than me.
I'm riding levels.
I'm making sure the tech is not falling off the rails.
You're not, though.
You're not.
None of the cameras are set and no headphones are on your ears.
It seems as though the rails are off.
We can't see Anya whatsoever.
So what are the three cameras showing right now?
We have camera one is on you and Casey.
Okay, great.
It's tilted at an angle.
God.
Dutch style. Camera two is all All and Casey. Okay, great. It's tilted at an angle. God. Dutch style.
Camera two is all Ali everything.
Yeah.
So it's going to be, and there's a little bit of Anya, but it is mostly Ali.
And then camera three is also Ali focused, but Anya's in it because she's kind of squirming.
Is your camera on?
My camera's on.
I'm not really coming through in visual stereo.
I kind of look like garbage today.
That has nothing to do with the GoPro, I think.
You have nothing to do with my happiness, I think.
Talk amongst yourselves.
You're going to keep me off camera?
No, I'm about to adjust the cameras.
But I need y'all.
I think people should see.
I think we should do a fucking Casey's Druthers.
Because cinematic music emotional.
We have Adam
Conover's notes here if anyone would like to read.
I was wondering what that just was.
Alright, here we go. This is a Casey's druthers while I fix the cameras.
You know,
traffic
has gotten
Let me do my druthers, please.
I thought we were going to do it about Jeff.
No, this is Casey's druthers.
So he just talks uninterruptedly.
But yours was about traffic too.
Traffic is so bad.
This is a different angle.
He's going to say that it's fine or something.
Well, let me get to it.
He already said it was so bad.
Traffic is bad this time of year specifically.
Interesting.
Like, it's, I don't know what it is about Los Angeles,
but when the days get shorter.
What is this?
Covered by a bag, the teleprompter?
Covered by a bag, as we call it in the industry.
The traffic is bad.
Like worse than usual around sunset.
And it's always, I notice in LA, it's always between Thanksgiving and the second week.
The music is so loud and you're so quiet.
Well, not to the listener.
I feel like I'm in a spa and you're talking in the next room about traffic.
Just trying to get my druthers out.
I didn't even ask to do these druthers.
When you said sunset, you mean the street or the time of day?
Both.
Sunset and sunset.
It's awful.
This is the last place I want to be.
Guys, fuck, marry, kill.
Sunrise, sunset, high noon. Oh, interesting. It's awful. It's the last place I want to be. You guys, fuck, marry, kill, sunrise, sunset, high noon.
Oh, interesting.
Kill high noon.
Easily kill high noon.
Easily.
Okay, that's fair.
It's the worst lighting.
It's the hottest part of the day.
I wish I could hear what you said, but I can only hear the music.
Oh, the music is still going?
You could take your headphones off.
I'm such a rule follower. I won't do it. Kill high noon. Yeah. The lighting is still going. You can take your headphones off. I'm such a rule follower.
I won't do it.
Kill high noon.
Yeah.
The lighting is the worst.
It's the hottest part of the day.
That's correct.
Merry sunrise.
That's right.
And fuck at sunset.
Fuck at sunset.
Fucking at sunrise is crazy.
You're up too late or too early.
Exactly. That's why I would honestly kill sunrise.
I'm killing sunrise too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to be
that's like
if you're awake before
it's bad
and if you're up
that long
it's not great.
I'm gonna
I fuck high noon
marry sunset.
You're gonna fuck
at high noon.
No I'm not
fucking at high noon.
She's fucking high noon.
What's your favorite
part of it?
Because
that's what cowboys do.
Cowboys are always meeting at high noon. You're basically inside of high noon she's fucking high noon what's your favorite part of it because that's what cowboys do cowboys are always
meeting at high noon
you're basically
inside of
high noon
yeah
does that make sense
yeah
exactly right
it's more of a metaphor
thoughts on the film
high noon
I might
yeah
see if I could get
I haven't seen it in a while
but it's pretty good
one of my faves
dome
that's one where the guy
is
I feel like
there's guys coming we gotta protect the town
and then like all I remember is
at the end the woman
there's no way this is the episode yet
this can't be it
this can't be it not even in an entertaining way
I know
like sometimes it's bad and it's funny
this has been literally zero
Anya zero
hosted by Tony zero And it's funny. Yeah. This has been literally zero. This has been Anya zero. Yeah.
Hosted by?
Tony zero. Tony zero.
Casey, do you have a nickname?
I don't care to be associated with the worst that this program has ever been.
I don't care for that.
Try being Pyle.
Try being Andrew Pyle because every episode he's ever been on is the series called Worst
Episode Ever 1 through 6.
He doesn't deserve.
ever. One through six.
She doesn't deserve.
Can I debut a new sound for y'all?
Quietly.
Here we go. Are you guys ready? My ears are my instrument.
Okay.
They're my livelihood.
Oh, that's me.
Saying, what's that?
Oh my god.
She just got starstruck.
Wait, is that really you?
It felt like ventriloquism.
Should we try that?
Yeah, mouth it.
I don't know what he's going to say. Well, shouldn't it be my mouth?
Because it's not supposed to come out of Casey's.
Shouldn't it be my mouth?
Gives others the spotlight for once.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Sorry, I just
got into a whole conversation
earlier while we were like testing, testing
for the Mario Kart
live stream.
Which will have happened weeks ago at this point.
Yeah, like four weeks ago. And you were like
do people respect me as a boss?
And we all lied to you.
And you lied to me by saying no.
Come on.
If you want to say what really happened,
over Slack you asked us in a group chat
if we respect you as a boss.
And then when I answered you,
you edited what the question was.
Oh, that's right.
To say goodnight.
So I said,
do you guys respect me as a boss?
And then you said, in what way? Yeah. And then I edited my question to right say good night so i said you guys respect me as a boss and then you said in
what way yeah and then i edited my question to just say good night and then i responded in what
way so it was kind of it's kind of weird did anybody see it before not uh ali and i saw it
yeah we all saw the original question too it just didn't make any sense i was dadaist yeah
oh wait you didn't see the question i didn't see it until it was edited so it said goodnight in what way
and I was like what the hell
this is the first you're finding out about this
it's the first
you guys remember the
Folgers in your mug
has the show started
this is it
this has been it
this will be it
there was a Casey's druthers
there was me setting up the cameras
which at this point has become canon
that Folgers song is legitimately one of the best songs it. There was a Casey's Druthers. There was me setting up the cameras, which at this point has become canon, right?
That Folger song is
legitimately one of the best songs of
the 80s or 90s or whenever it came out.
And there's a full commercial
minute, minute and a half version of the song
that really sounds like
a radio hit. And it was just an ad,
a jingle for coffee. Okay. And let's
go to our radio correspondent,
Anya Kenevsky, or rather Anya Zero.
Is it good radio, or was that kind of free
of what I would consider the cinema
of radio? Ultimately, I was not alive
for whatever Amir's talking about. Yeah, you were.
Can you do Folgers' full song?
Yeah, you can hear it.
I know the song. I've never heard a full version of it.
There's Folgers in your car. Yeah, there's like a verse.
Bummer about that. Every day I wake up
Are we going to talk about the Folgers Christmas commercial?
Well, the Folgers girl died.
She died?
Nansen murdered.
I want to go murder you, guy.
Wait.
I'm not seeing.
What are you saying?
It's not a minute and a half.
It's 46 seconds?
Okay, 46 seconds.
Okay, here we go.
Longer than a quarter.
Oh, wait.
Listen to this, Sonya.
Tell me if you like this. It includes this beeping for some reason. Okay, 46 seconds. Okay, here we go. Longer than a... Oh, wait. Listen to this, Sonya. Tell me if you like this.
It includes this beeping for some reason.
A guy waking up.
Is this like an Amber Alert?
Yeah.
Should we be evacuating?
Yeah, this is the song.
Every day I wake up
Pour myself a cup
Of that rich Folgers aroma
The best part of waking up
It's the do-up, do-up in all I do What year is this?
1980?
It looks like the 90s.
90s?
Is this Pentatonix?
Wasn't that great?
I've never seen you respond to music like that.
That was awful.
You didn't like that?
It was like Pentatonix.
This is 1998, by the way.
It's gotta be earlier.
There's another one.
The 30 second version.
This is so fucked up.
It's the Carmen Sandiego.
Is that who sang
Carmen Sandiego?
Yeah.
This sucks.
Oh, is it the same guy?
It's the same song?
It's just a 30 second version
of it for the campaign.
It's a cut down.
Can you play...
Jeff, can you play
the Carmen Sandiego theme song?
And then I guess the Chili's would go right after that.
Yeah, then we could do Chili's after that.
These are the people that did the Carmen Sandiego.
And then Sullivan Auto.
The Carmen Sandiego game show, right?
The game show theme song.
Jeff, here's a question.
It's not Pentatonix.
No, Pentatonix is the only
Oh my god. Yeah, Pentatonix is the only...
Oh, my God.
Yeah, there we go.
Good transition.
And then did it say who sang this?
What's that?
Did it say who sang this?
This is Where in the World is Carmen Sandier.
The band or the acapella.
Yeah, is it the Folgers Four?
Did the Folgers Four sing this?
You want me to turn it up?
Who's singing it?
I don't fucking know.
It says join Acme's music channel.
Join Acme?
In the description? It's the South Acme's music channel. Join Acme? In the description?
It's the South Bay Groovy System.
I'm going to look it up.
This is really good.
I think you're right.
It sounds like a South Bay Groovy System joint.
Should we get into doing this?
I can't hear you.
Here's a question.
I can't hear you.
Have you seen the Christmas folders commercial?
It sounds like you're pissed at me. It looks like you're pointing. This is getting louder. I can't hear you. Have you seen the Christmas folders commercial? Sounds like you're pissed at me.
It looks like you're pointing.
This is getting louder.
But I can't hear anything you're saying.
What's that?
This is getting louder.
You can see him doing this.
You said play the full Carmen Sandiego theme song.
That's what we're doing.
This is your druthers.
I didn't say that.
This might be part of your druthers.
You might need to fucking.
Oh, my God.
Did you play this video?
I did.
Did you ever watch this show?
The game show?
Did you find a new level
to make it louder?
Did you find a new loudness level?
Yeah, she flies around the floor
Banks her flip-flops every nation She's a... She's just... Did you find a new loudness level?
Allie's mouth open.
She's just jogging.
Why is this so long?
I don't know.
I've been done with this for a while, personally.
Machapella.
That's the group?
Yeah.
Machapella.
Carmen Sandiego.
What?
Tell me.
I can't.
There's so many things I could be doing right now.
Is this a loop? We got another minute. I don't know what else so many things I could be doing right now. Is this a loop?
We got another minute.
I don't know what else to say. Another minute?
It's a three-minute song.
It's a radio edit.
It's a radio-free edit.
You love it.
You can turn it off.
He's shaking his head.
He's silently shaking your head.
If this was a TV show theme song, it hasn't even started.
Are you playing another song underneath this?
There's a nice fade out there, I guess,
but what a waste of all of our time.
That was Casey's idea.
Anyways, the Folgers Christmas commercial,
no one's picking up on this.
So the Folgers theme song, when I was looking it up, was written in 84.
So before I was alive.
Maybe that commercial.
I added this emotional soundtrack back in because this has to be still part of Casey's druthers.
So wrap it up.
Otherwise, that was all a waste of time.
So far, he's just said that traffic is bad.
Traffic is bad.
At sunset on sunset.
At sunset on sunset.
Where the brother comes home from...
This is from the 90s as well.
From, like, the Peace Corps.
Then what?
And his sister greets him.
You guys don't know the commercial I'm talking about?
I think so.
You guys should watch it.
It's the Folgers Christmas commercial that was, like, really miscast.
Like, they cast the brother and the sister too close in age.
So when they come home and they have this like emotional reunion over a cup of coffee, it's extremely sexy.
Yeah, it was romantic.
Yeah.
I do have to bring up that because you said casting.
KC has a feature length movie that is in development.
I do have to bring this up
because you said casting.
I said a lot of words, ultimately.
There's a lot of different words I said.
You could have brought up a lot of different things.
That's true.
I just had one question about
the casting process for your movie.
Is the audition still open?
Is it going to be the traditional,
you know, like bringing in a casting director?
Or is it mostly like personal connections? Like anybody could just sort of submit. I was going to be the traditional you know like bringing in a casting director or is it mostly like personal connections
like anybody could just sort of submit
who's going to say or is it mostly like
more like an Indian cast where it's like
each role is
regard to like what you know
slumdog millionaire style
caste system of Hinduism
oh a caste system
yeah exactly right
what's the casting system for your movie is it the cast system or is it through like, you know,
Jeannie McCarthy or something?
McCarthy Abelera.
We're still figuring it out, but we haven't considered a cast system.
You have not considered that?
No, but it's something to consider.
It does because I feel like, listen,
all the rage in Hollywood right now is like, oh, diversity,
you know,
which is racist in a way
in and of itself.
Sure.
So look at it that way.
I guess.
But if you're going to,
you might as well do it
like, you know,
quota.
So I should have
like a prince in the movie?
I really don't think
he's understanding
what I'm saying.
Everyone else gets it.
You want to be in the movie,
it seems like.
That's exactly right.
Is there a character
similar to Jeff's anything?
Yeah.
His status in our company.
Ethnic ambiguity.
Long hair.
Yeah.
Mustache.
Maybe I could play.
I could play like a footstool to you on set.
Imagine if Casey's movie ended up kind of as a Bollywood hit.
That'd be amazing.
Like RRR.
I don't even know how we would even get there because there's no musical numbers in my movie.
Folgers, the song, could be.
The good thing is when you cast enough brown people who can improvise.
Every day I wake up.
You do acapella, right?
What's that?
Did you appreciate that Folgers theme song on an acapella level?
What's that?
That's good.
That's really good.
I did acapella in high school.
What was the group called?
The U.S. Males.

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. The best way to squeeze that special thing into your schedule
is to know what's important to you and make it a priority. Therapy can help you find what matters
to you so you can do more of it. I'm in therapy every week. I've definitely benefited from it

a dilemma
slash
catastrophe
a burning
burning orb
I got my face zapped by a rod
nearly two and a half hours ago.
So excuse me if I say irreversible.
Like a taser?
Like a rod?
Like a cattle prod on my fucking eyelids, by the way.
Can you imagine if Jeff was like,
I got tasered two and a half hours ago,
but he still showed up. You always show up flustered and we never know why. And if you got tasered two weeks ago but he still showed up. I can't imagine.
You always show up flustered and we never know why and if you got
tasered that would at least be a good excuse.
This is my
eye doctor with Zac Efron.
Did he create this procedure or is it
like procedure that everybody does
and he's one of the few people that can?
The machine costs according
to Arthur a quarter of a million dollars.
Very Russian. The nurse, Belarusian.
Interesting.
And did your doctor give you any fun tidbits about Zach?
He doesn't like to disclose who he works with or what they said or anything,
but he does have kind of a wall of fame with all the celebrities that we worked on.
Okay, so he does respect confidentiality.
Does he know you host this podcast?
Does he know you took a picture of the picture
and said on the internet that he went to that doctor?
Well, here's what happened.
I said, wait, what did I say?
It did come up.
They were like, what do you do for a living?
Finally.
I've been going there for three years.
And he was like, what do you do for a living?
And I was like, I don't know.
I do a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
And he's like, what does that mean?
And I was like, well, one thing I do is I host a podcast. And he was like, I don't know. I do a little bit of this, a little bit of that. And he's like, what does that mean? And I was like, well, one thing I do is I host a podcast.
And he was like,
oh, like, do people listen to it?
And I was like, some. And I was like,
also, I have plugged your name first and last
on the show a lot, because you're a really good eye doctor.
And he was like, and then he demanded to know how many
listeners we have, how many Instagram followers I have.
So, hopefully... He demanded? What's that?
He demanded to know?
Yeah, well well not him
but the person next to him
is kind of his business manager
so you weren't even talking
to your doctor
I was talking to him and her
Rita and Arthur
right
oh very Russian
what's Arthur's last name
Aura
Zero
Zero's really good
Arthur Zero
the family grows
they tried to get me
to post to my story
that I was at the eye doctor
and I was like
that's not gonna move the needle for y'all at all.
No free pub.
Exactly right.
So I told them that my CPI.
Yeah, you should have gotten a free zap out of it.
Yeah.
My CPI was cost per eye of LipiFlow.
So basically I was like, for one eye, I'll do one post.
For two eyes, I'll do, yeah.
When you sent me a screenshot of your calendar invite and it said Lipaflow,
I thought you were doing some sort of like cool sculpting.
I did too.
I did too.
Liposuction.
I was like, that's his secret.
There's nothing to liposuction.
I've always wanted to know.
Don't look at me when you talk.
I just am looking for, I'm scanning everyone's eyes to make sure.
We don't want you to.
No, because the issue is when you're already this shredded, jacked, and lean.
You're malnourished.
Really?
You're already making thin.
Although we did see him eat two bags of potato chips.
Yeah.
That's all I've had today, though.
Yeah.
It's often all you've had today.
It's often, yeah, because people make fun of me for having the baggy clothes, for having
the thin ass ankles.
Nobody ever talks about the vascularity.
Nobody says that you can see a vein.
Yeah. Yeah, we can't see that because of the baggy clothes
yeah right
so cool sculpting you said I'll make an appointment
no don't
Linda Evangelista had a horrible experience
don't do it you guys
I won't
I won't
I thought hers was like
plastic surgery
no it was cool sculpting.
Yeah, she never recovered from that.
What's that?
And we're back.
We're so back.
Are you kidding me?
It really does sound like you right now saying it's crazy.
Well, it is true.
And I probably said it sitting right here.
It really sounds like it's in this room.
It really sounds like it's in this room.
That's what I was going to say.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Jeff, I thought you had some segments for us.
I do have some segments, yeah. Okay. Is this episode going to come out this's what I was going to say. Yeah. That's exactly what I was going to say. Jeff, I thought you had some segments for us. I do have some segments, yeah.
Okay.
Is this episode going to come out
this year?
I don't think so.
Really?
This is a January episode.
I think it's either
December 29th
or whatever Friday that is
or it's the new year.
So last episode of that year
or a first episode
of the next year.
I'm going to say something.
But no mention of any of that stuff.
Please do.
We were booked well into January.
We were booked well into January.
That's what I was going to say. Wow. Like this of any of that stuff. We were booked well into January. We were booked well into January. That's what I was going to say.
Wow.
Like this could have been in the new year,
but then Jeff canceled a bunch of recordings.
That's true.
I feel like we already recorded a January 6th episode,
or was that earlier this year?
That's a plan that I have for why I'm going to D.C.
the first week of January.
Sort of a revelation.
January 6th.
I remember recording an episode of this. Oh, it's just going to be like a celebration. January 6th. And explain more about that.
It's just going to be like a celebration.
It's just going to be a remembrance.
And are you going to look for evidence a la
Lady Gaga? I think I might
wear meat a la her, but I
might also take
action. Right.
You're sort of pulling
from different eras. Exactly right.
So I'm going to like
smirk and smile out of right. You're sort of pulling from different eras. Exactly right. So I'm gonna like, I'm gonna
kind of like smirk and smile out of, I get it,
as I
walk into my house, rather.
But in meat.
In heat.
And
I'm gonna steal a podium first.
Voice from?
Come on.
Casey's impression of me is just goofy.
Yeah.
All right.
There comes a time when it's too much.
Are we there?
Are we on the line?
Teeter-tottering.
Whatever you were about to say is what I was going to say.
What was the last audition you went on?
This weekend I have aned for Night Court.
Wait, you went back in time?
No, Night Court is back.
Can you believe it?
They brought it back.
Night Court is back.
After the 30 Rock episode,
they still brought it back.
That's right.
Yeah.
Same network, too.
Night Court is what it's called.
Yeah.
It really is the name of the episode.
It would be funny if your agent sent you on, like, had to make up fake auditions for you.
And that's what...
I'm just to be nice to him.
They're bringing it back.
Really?
To me, that sounds fake, but apparently it's real.
Yeah.
Yeah, on Peacock, I believe.
It's, like, already out? Like, on? I's real. Yeah. Yeah, on Peacock, I believe. It's like already out?
Like on?
I think so.
Yeah.
I've seen commercials.
Well, Jeff, I'm rooting for you.
Here's the thing.
I just want to make a ton of money.
Sure.
Like, what's that?
Sure.
What's that?
Sure.
There's easier ways to make a ton of money than acting.
Casey's saying what's that to himself.
Setting himself up for a what's that.
Well, my point is like these shows,
like, you know,
not a,
I don't want to shut up.
What part on Night Court?
The judge?
Doctor.
A doctor?
Surely,
well.
So you want to be a like true detective.
I want to be in a show
where the residuals
are thus.
Like I did that one episode
of The Neighborhood
and it paid me,
I'm going to bleep this
No way.
In residuals?
Okay. Yeah. That makes sense
for the way you spend money as a joke.
Like a day rate? I'm going to cut this.
Everything cool on your phone or?
Are we podcasting right now
you know this song
do you know this song
you're the only person here who would know this song
it's
it's uh
the
they just
they just
is this the remastered version
uh
yeah
from 2008
were you about to say they just remastered it?
Yeah.
It's been 15 years.
They just put out Tim.
That was the replacements.
It was.
They just remastered Tim.
It sounds great.
Spotify wrapped.
Let's fucking talk about it.
I want to know what you guys...
Why did you choose that song to lead us into it?
That was my number one song this year.
No way.
Yeah, you know what the best fucking part of it is?
It's this part.
Hang on.
Wait, Jeff,
you're going to lose your mind.
Do you know whose
favorite band this is?
Nick.
Yes, ma'am.
You've been trying so hard.
I love this song.
That's good.
I can't believe it.
I thought you liked
The Grateful Dead.
Exclusively. You can't believe it. I thought you liked The Grateful Dead. Exclusively.
You can like a lot of music.
Do you like Dave Matthews' band?
Wait.
I would love to read for you my...
Are you Dave Matthews' guy?
You seem like a Dave Matthews.
I seem like a Daver?
Yeah, you seem like a Daver.
You and Mike Mitchell.
That is the rudest thing anyone's, I think, ever said to me.
I'm not a Daver.
It's, yeah.
You guys are all making fun of...
I'm not making fun of anybody.
You are.
I'm saying I'm not a Daver.
Jake Hurwitz, Big Dave.
Is this your number two song?
This is his version of Burning Down the House, which I do like.
Because he just kind of is at an 11 out of 10.
Yeah, I bet you like that.
But I'm not a Dave-er.
Allie?
Yeah?
Spotify Rats, let's talk about it.
Spotify Rats! Ah, what? Allie? Yeah? Spotify raft? Let's talk about it. Spotify raft!
Oh, what?
Here's your bomba, char the grains.
Time for a being on soy.
That's so funny.
Yeah, can everybody airdrop me their raft?
I don't fucking listen to Spotify.
I don't have songs on my Spotify.
I can't airdrop.
I can't participate.
I'm sorry.
You have, though, listened to music on Spotify this year, which means you would have a rap.
You listened to airdrop what?
I'm a little rapped by this segment.
How do you airdrop?
R-A-I-D-T.
I'm a little airdropping it to you.
You can cancel.
Okay.
Jeff already sent you one.
Yeah, I got yours. I want everybody else's because that was a really good idea to airdrop across the room on the day to you. You can cancel. Okay. Jeff, I already sent you mine. Yeah, I got yours.
I want everybody else's
because that was a really good idea
to airdrop across the room
all day to have.
I did.
I did.
I did.
I did kind of edit that.
That's what I was going to say.
No people found near me.
Number four has a lot to do with you.
I can't do it.
Okay, I'm sending you mine.
Okay.
Very good.
Okay.
And then let's get Casey's for sure
and then Amir's to boot.
You're not showing up on my airdrop.
I think you might have blocked me as a contact.
I don't have Spotify Premium.
Do I need that to have a raft?
Amir, serious question.
No connotation.
What generation are you, technically?
I was born in 83,
so I think I'm the oldest millennial.
What's tough for me is that Casey just sent me his whole playlist of your top songs.
Isn't that what you wanted?
No, I wanted the screenshot.
You wanted the screenshot.
Yeah, it's hard because I'm talking to a bunch of millennials.
Whoa.
Sorry.
Except for you.
Except.
Allie, you're Gen Z.
I'm cusp.
You're zillennial.
I'm technically a millennial, yeah.
All right.
No, I'll take that.
I'll take everybody.
Okay. Let me try this again try this again where they're at
thank you
do you want my top songs or my top
artists
don't do that
I have a hilarious top
I'm the only one that understands you
I'm the only one who's understood the assign
that's because you guys are both Gen Z
I'm sending you my top artists all The only one that understands you. Ally's the only one who's understood the assign. That's because you guys are both Gen Z.
All right, I'm sending you my top artists.
All very, very white 40-year-old.
Yeah.
Dave Matthews.
Not even.
Oh, it's the, it's the, what was it called?
The Boardwalk Empire soundtrack and then a boardwalk singing quartet.
And the people who did the Folgers commercial.
Oh, yes.
That would be number one.
The Bay Area South Groove or whatever.
My top band is the U.S. Males.
Everyone.
Oh, my God.
That's why my number four is so funny.
What's fucked up is that all four of you guys.
Sorry, the fifth one was me leaving room for Jesus Christ.
All four of you guys didn't airdrop the same thing,
and then Amir texted me the right thing, but he texted it to me.
He didn't airdrop it.
You're not telling us what the right thing is.
I don't fucking care. I did it first, and this was my idea, and you said it was what I did was right.
I said it was genius.
I just texted you something else.
It's just fuck you.
Unbelievable.
All right, here we go.
I just sent you a text that says fuck you.
So I don't know what else to do
do all my do
the best aroma's always
coming through
it should be honestly
inside a mug
folders inside of a cup
whipped cream inside of
bean juice that's how you
char the foam.
If you could switch from
rice to coffee, I think that could be a whole new
album concept for you. Roasted beans inside
a home. That's how my
mug's filled with foam. We still gotta sell the rice record
first. Yeah. What about
Graceland? Then there's the bean.
Because I'm going to bean juice.
Bean juice.
All I need is a light roast, light roast.
Allie, this looks like you gamed the system.
I didn't.
Headphones back on.
Allie is so in the cultural conversation with this.
You really are.
You really have your finger on the pulse.
Yeah.
I try.
I'm trying.
Top artists are Taylor Swift.
This is an order.
Taylor Swift, Boy Genius, SZA, Chapel Roan, Phoebe Bridgers.
That's just.
Pretty cool.
Like what everybody thinks is cool music.
Yeah.
It's almost.
It is almost like you were like, what do what musicians do cool people think are cool to
listen to?
And then I thought those are intentional. put those on overnight yeah sorry i was actually
yeah not even close to finished basically i i'm not a i'm not jacuzziing you but i do fear
that you just put cool music on on repeat as you fell asleep
each night which is what i said earlier is that you said? Because I was about to say that.
I said it first and
before you. And already.
And then we'll just, yeah.
I feel like my answers are cooler than
I'm dying to hear yours.
I want to
hear your listens too. This will
be new for me. Should we hit them with an
Anya Radio Free
Radio Recap show? Yeah. I'm free associating slash disassociating. new for me. Should we hit him with an Anya radio free radio recap
show?
Yeah.
I'm free associating
slash disassociating.
I
always feel
a fishbowl
and a fowl.
I feel askew.
I feel off kilter.
I feel like I have
vertigo of the eyes
and ears when I'm here
on this show
behind the desk.
Yeah, we know.
Number one is
Lana Del Rey for Anya.
Oh, I thought you were
reading a meme.
I know. I was like same. Which, while I love her, I don't think is accurate, Rey for Anya. Oh, I thought you were reading a meme. I know, I was like, same.
Which, while I love her, I don't think is accurate, but that's fine.
Number two is crazy for you.
I know.
Number two is Johann Sebastian Bach.
I know.
So, do you do work to him?
Yeah.
But again, seems off.
Yeah.
Number three isn't even a band.
It's just like a collection of people chatting in the present day.
No, it's a...
It's like Euro pop duo. It's like a collection of people chatting in the present no it's a um it's a euro
pop duo it's like a modern talking let's say on the same time three two one modern and talking
also just modern they're german yeah um anders and tamas
uh you're a little too european for my tastes is that fair to say? it's not okay
to say at all
xenophobic
arachnophobic
because there's eight countries I don't like in Europe
and Germany and Russia are right up there
that's exactly wrong
I mean ultimately the biggest perpetrators
that's not true, Great Britain and, the biggest perpetrators of evil. That's not true. Great Britain.
And ultimately, the biggest perpetrators were the Hells Angels.
That was a really good joke.
Are you going to tell them about number four?
Number four is U.S. Marine Band.
So I don't know what that's about.
Not really true.
Feels like violence.
Did I not show you this?
No.
It said it was like U.S. Marine Band, month most listened to, February.
And I was like, oh, that's when we needed to play music in the public domain during the live stream.
And I think what happened was that Jake, our overnight engineer, left the Spotify on all night.
Because it somehow took the number four spot.
Wow.
So you don't listen to Spotify that much or that is your default?
No, she does.
You're just trying to group people in with your ass.
This is an intervention.
This is an innovention.
People that use Apple Music.
You use Apple Music?
I actually don't listen to that much music.
I usually use YouTube.
That's what I was waiting for you to say.
I usually use YouTube except for when I'm listening to
I don't know if you want to get
to mine already, or
if I'm last. We're in the middle of Anya's. I don't know why you're
trying to dictate shit. We're pretty much done.
Respect you as a boss? No, you're a dictator.
I'm sorry. I got some names wrong. Modern Talking is
Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders. I feel like I need to put
respect in their names. Oh, thank God. Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.
Thank God.
Again, it is important to me.
Number five is Fleetwood Mac.
Yeah, whatever.
You can burn your own charm.
Which again, I don't think is right.
Like these are not my top.
These aren't my top.
These are your favorite.
But you do like them.
But my top songs are more accurate
because it's Sonny and Cher.
I think that your top Spotify artist is...
I completely agree with you. Mine has never felt true to me. I saw this guy on... Top Spotify artists. Bomba Rice, the soy is globbing.
I completely agree with you.
Mine has never felt true to me.
I saw this guy on TikTok.
Excuse me, Jeff.
We're talking.
The adults are talking, Jeff, if you could for a second.
I saw a guy on TikTok post how he still has his last FM account linked.
And then he was like, they did not line up.
I believe that.
However, I will say the most important part of this whole conversation
is that it will have,
it's airing about
a month to a month and a half
after everybody's done
talking about their Spotify rap.
Yeah, we're already
working hard on our
2024 raps.
No one's going to find
this interesting at all.
A lot of people
wrote in the last 20 minutes.
But I did think the U.S. Marine Band
one was relevant to you, Jeff.
I thought you would like that,
but you didn't react at all.
I don't remember that at all because that whole thing was kind of a 24-hour dissociative episode for me.
That sent me into a year-long spiral.
We are starting a new one right now, which is why it's funny.
I am so nervous to come in for the Mario Kart suite.
48 hours.
I do think 48 hours would be really funny if there's built-in time to sleep.
Oh, my God.
48 hours.
It would be so funny. I don't want to do it, but it would be really funny if there's built-in time to sleep. Oh, my God. 48 hours. It would be so funny.
I don't want to do it, but it would be so funny.
Built-in time to sleep.
So.
Not that exciting for 16 of the 48.
A 48-hour stream with, like, an eight-hour window to sleep.
Just to pass out.
It would be like what Katy Perry did.
Exactly right.
What did she do?
She was, like, in a live streamed house for, I don't know, I think it was like a couple days.
It was like 72 hours.
Yeah, she slept.
They're kind of cracking down on sleep streams these days.
There's no low that's too low for Katie Perry.
Yeah, they want people to be interacting with the chats, and you can't do that if you're sleeping on stream.
Have you seen the TikTok where it's like, like it to create an alarm in my room?
The fact that people were talking over you, that just then create an alarm in my room. Well, what I'm saying is
that people were talking over you
that you're trying to stop people.
That's indicative of the generational gap.
Who's they?
Like, as you get older,
what you have to say
will become less and less important.
The government?
Amir, I have a question for you.
Yeah, mine as well be.
If you don't listen...
Say that.
Say that, Casey.
If you don't listen...
Casey said the CIA
is in charge of YouTube.
Sorry.
Try saying that
ten times, Donahue.
This has been
the weirdest episode.
Yeah, why?
There's like multiple...
It doesn't feel like
the episode started.
It's like we're
multiple conversations
happening at the same time.
That's never happened
on this show.
Say that, Donahue.
I'm trying to...
Pull on two different people
having two different conversations.
You can't do the last thing
on a Friday.
You just can't.
It's too weird.
It's loopy.
Amir.
Here we go.
What are yours?
Do you listen to music or are you one of those guys that's not really into it?
I'm telling you, I don't listen to music that much.
I listen to individual songs that like, oh, I should listen to this song, but I use YouTube.
Except for.
I feel like, can I guess?
Yeah.
Number one is that song, I Don't Care, I Love It.
I do like that song, but that's not number one.
I do use Spotify to listen to
the Bo Burnham
Inside special
that was two years ago
yeah but I still think about it and when I play it
I only listen to it on Spotify so he's my number one
what's your favorite song from it?
I like a lot of songs on there but I do like
Welcome to the Internet
and I like the That's How the World Works
song and I like the That Funny Feeling the world works song and I like the
that funny feeling
the one that he plays on guitar
is this
did you book this
Bo Burnham cross promo stuff
that Amir's doing
just kind of naturally
in the episode
oh no that's just natural
what I listen to on Spotify
have you heard
Phoebe Bridger's cover of
yeah she did a cover of that song
do you know what they're dating
I saw that
I saw that they were dating
but I haven't heard that version
I'll send it to you later
okay cool and then the other four are just bands that I've played slash liked which is like Eminem Weezer Do you know what they're dating? I saw that they were dating, but I haven't heard that version. I'll send it to you later. Okay, cool.
And then the other four are just bands that I've played slash liked,
which is like Eminem, Weezer, Neutral Milk Hotel.
Yeah.
Bunch of white dudes.
What's your favorite Eminem song?
What I will say is that the Eminem song, what's the one, Lose Yourself?
Lose Yourself, yeah.
Never has a song been used by so many mediocre men
to hype themselves up for something that doesn't matter.
It's not mom's spaghetti.
You're about to like log in to like a lumberyard.
I just watched
Isn't that where he worked
in 8 Mile? Is it?
I think so. Similar. I'm so
synchronicious.
I'm so synchronicious.
He's doing an Eminem song right now.
I'm synchronicious. Rapp synchronicious. Synchronous. This sucks. He's doing an Eminem song right now. I'm synchronicious.
Rap-pernicious.
I'm rapped with your Spotify rap.
And then there was one that I forgot.
It was Weezer, maybe Ben Folds.
It's got to be the Ben Folds 5.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be the Ben Folds 5.
It could just be Ben Folds.
Really?
It could be.
For a mirror?
I saw Ben Folds debut his symphony.
He wrote a symphony, and he debuted it in Cleveland.
My friend's sister played the cello in it.
So sick.
Awesome.
I saw Weezer in concert on September 12, 2001.
Well, Ben Folds, I was just going to say.
They did not cancel their show.
Ben Folds, that album came out on?
9-11.
Yeah.
All right, here we go.
So that's weird for you.
There I was.
My musical tastes haven't evolved since I was 18.
It's because you haven't gone out of your comfort zone musically.
I don't think they need to necessarily.
I was just shocked to hear Eminem second.
I feel like Amir would like Hot To Go.
Did you know that I had pictures of Eminem in my...
You didn't know.
Here, I'm telling you for the first time.
I had pictures of him taped up in my locker in sixth grade.
In your locker, I was going to say.
And I would like, before class, like I thought he was so cute.
Did I tell you who my first kiss was?
He was my number one.
And then my dad bought me a CD.
So you love Eminem too?
Not in a long time.
I was like 12.
Of course.
My dad bought me a Walkman and I asked my mom to buy me the Eminem CD.
Wow.
She didn't know what it was.
It was a little shady.
I think it was the Marshall Mathers LP.
And then my dad was like, let me try out this
Walkman.
I want to know the sound
quality. You just said Walkman,
but you held your hands out as if you
were using a walker.
And then he listened to that CD.
What's that? He listened to that CD
and he said, I can't listen to Eminem anymore. Interesting. Your dad couldn't listen to Eminem. What's that? He listened to that CD and he said, I can't listen to Eminem anymore.
Interesting.
Your dad couldn't listen to Eminem.
What's that?
Thank you.
This is the segment you had planned?
There's more.
There's absolutely more.
There's kind of a lot more.
Oh, shit.
Okay, we have to keep this fucking going.
What did you just see?
45 minutes.
God, I thought you looked out and saw somebody trying to get into the studio.
All right, here we go. You gotta go. Shit, I thought you looked out and saw somebody trying to get into the studio. All right, here we go.
You gotta go.
Shit, he has a gun.
Chaparone.
You would like Chaparone.
H-O-T-T-O-G-O.
You can take me hot to go.
There's a dance to it.
What are the words?
What is the word he's spelling?
He's spelling hot to go.
It's like taking a coffee hot to go, but like someone's going to like, yeah, sort of fuck her.
You can take.
Who sings this?
Chapelrone.
It's not for us.
It's not for me.
None of your business or mine.
All right.
This is rapid fire through Casey's.
I'm just going to say this about Casey.
It's one joke.
Your.
Sorry.
Okay.
Yeah.
All of these read like names that I would use as A.L.E.I.
Beak
Chloe Francis
Link Ray
with a W
Andrew Valentino
in the chats
alright here we go
we got yours
we got yours
we got yours
Amir didn't have one
or he sent me one
okay these are all
yeah
we just talked about it
I just said my five
we do have to move on
we had to move on five
was Ben Folds the fifth one
nice
because Ben Folds
comes in five
the Ben Folds five
coming in at five
of course
here we go
this is a game I like to call
medical procedure or cheating
let's start with
IUD implantation
is that
is that a medical procedure
or are you actually
just cheating on your partner
the episode should end right there but if you want to have this whole segment Is that a medical procedure or are you actually just cheating on your partner?
The episode should end right there.
But if you want to have this whole segment, that's a medical procedure.
Really?
Yeah.
But someone else is in there.
Jeff.
Whatever.
Let's keep going. Pr prostate exam yeah it seems like medical procedure or cheating
i'm sensing a pattern here that one's cheating right that one's cheating depends on who's doing
it the doctor a doctor at a fucking well then it's cheating exactly well it's i almost feel
like and we're the location it could be a, but if you're in a motel.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, I would never get a prostate exam if I was in a monogamous relationship.
That's not fair to them.
That's why, or you're scared of what they might find.
Or of them going in.
And is that a rule that you like?
No, I don't think he's scared of them going in.
I think he's scared of what's inside
of them. Yeah, he's afraid of fissures
in his ass or the relationship
coming to light. That's a lawsuit.
That's the lawsuit.
What? He finally
got you. You said so much
worse.
Wonderful.
Was that also you?
his pile
hysteroscopy
hysteroscopy
I mostly brought this up because I didn't realize that
don't look at me
don't make eye contact during this segment
what's the chicken or the egg?
hysteria or the fact that a lot of
gynecological exams and procedures
start with hysteria
were you trying to say hysterectomy?
No.
No, hysteria.
No, hysteroscopy.
You're talking about the camera in the uterus.
Hysterectomy is removal.
Removal.
Not removal, just camera.
Does hysteria come from gynecological exams,
and is that the etymology of hysteria, that as a thing?
Or hysterical. Are these medicalymology of hysteria? That as a thing. Or hysterical.
Are these medical procedures named after hysteria?
I bet it's like backed in through sexist ideology
that's like only women can be hysterical.
And it's based on...
Is that your lawyer?
Who the hell is that?
Is that Nick?
Yeah.
Nick!
Ask him about the band.
Ask him about replacements.
You'll never guess Jeff's number one song
on Spotify
ask him about the Bearsville
that's another thing
that's never happened before
it was a weird episode
well she is having
another conversation
it was a replacement song
I think you can't
take your Spotify
well no let's hang on
a second
on the phone
who we can't even hear
what they're saying
and she had no hesitation
to pick it up
you remember Jeff
we met him last year
for like a second
answering it
for more than a second
what felt like an eternity I think this might be the worst episode ever no I don't think so are you coming here no hesitation to pick it up. You remember Jeff? We met him last year for like a second. For more than a second.
It felt like an eternity.
I think this might be the worst episode ever.
No, I don't think so.
I think it's...
Are you coming here?
What?
Good point.
Nick?
Oh, I didn't
because I was busy.
Busy with what?
Dating him?
Sort of a constant practice
of yoga in a way.
I'll get it expensed.
Yeah.
We need just like
plastic tarps
to paint the studio.
Does he not have a day job? How is he able to do this
unpaid? She's salary,
so it's not helpful to her. It's after
four on a Friday, and here in Los Angeles, it's
like... What about, okay, we have to move on.
I'll text you. General urology appointment.
Is that cheating or a medical procedure?
Bye. What's the procedure?
General urology appointment.
Is that cheating or a medical procedure?
We're still doing this segment.
I thought we were done.
Did nobody like this one?
This might be a dud.
I've never seen you hold so quickly.
I'm sorry.
I took a phone call because we have to paint the studio in a little bit.
Nick is painting the studio?
He's coming to help us get stuff out.
What is that?
Who is this guy?
James Bond?
I don't like that you're looking at me
through the tripod.
There's like a tripod here
and I'm looking
directly down the barrel.
It feels like
you're going to shoot me.
What about having sex
with someone other than
your monogamous partner?
Is that a medical procedure?
That's cheating.
That's cheating.
Very good.
I did cut you off
at the hysteria of it all
yeah I do
you're onto something
there for sure
consider reading
radical feminist theory
you might like
it might really
open stuff up for you
it might yeah
I took a gender studies
class once
a year or two ago
this was a decade ago
what'd you get
you were 14
I got a
do not pass
but it was more like
you shall not pass
the teacher told you this as you were trying to get into the classroom You were 14? I got a do not pass, but it was more like ye shall not pass.
The teacher told you this as you were trying to get into the classroom?
Well, it wasn't the teacher.
It was like a troll, and I refused to pay the toll.
So I didn't learn much.
And which genders were you studying?
Melting.
He's melting.
He cannot do this.
All right. This is a segment I like He cannot do this. Alright.
This is a segment I like to call... Wow.
Jeopardy.
It's called Plugs.
Right? Let's get the fuck out of here.
Let's start with Amir and let's go left to right
as if I was reading a book.
Gosh. I gotta promote segments
my new podcast on the HeadGum Network.
Not really.
Doesn't hurt. I'm also on TikTok
to say nothing about
my Instagram account
I posted some wedding photos the other week
that are doing extremely well
engagement wise
they didn't look like that on the day
and then I'm also on
X

I feel like we never have the cookie brownies.
Listen to the pit wall.
No way.
End of the season.
There won't be another episode for a year.
No.
Six months.
No, we're going to.
I don't know when this episode comes out that we're recording right now
Yeah, we're gonna do an episode about the Ferrari movie
Sometime soon really can I recommend this for this stop looking at me through the tripod Ford versus Ferrari versus Ferrari
Comparing those two movies. I don't know. Wow. That's really good
And you have to bring me on because I did Ford vs. Ferrari.
Okay.
Yeah, like the comeback.
Ford vs. Ferrari.
Okay.
And is there a movie called Ford?
Well, I'll do,
I'm going to do,
we're going to do an episode
just on Ferrari
because we did an episode
just on Ford v. Ferrari.
So we'll do an episode
that's Ford v. Ferrari
v. Ferrari.
Yeah.
And is there a movie called Ford?
Because then you can do
Ford v. Ford v. Ferrari.
Yeah, I'll find,
I'll find out. There is, no, there is the Gerald Ford documentary. then you can do Ford v. Ferrari. Yeah, I'll find. I'll find.
There is.
No, there's the Gerald Ford documentary.
And that's the one we love the most of the three.
Allie, what do you got?
Plugs?
You can follow me on Instagram at AllieCon,
Letterboxd at AllieCon,
and Venmo me, Allie-Con.
Has the Venmo stuck with it?
Someone needs to make money from this.
And it might as well be me. Yeah. Have you? Has anyone Venmo'd you? It's a lunch money fund. It's a lunch money fund the Venmo stuck with it? Someone needs to make money from this, and it might as well be me.
Yeah.
Have you?
Has anyone Venmo'd you?
It's a lunch money fund.
It's a lunch money fund.
Venmo me.
No, don't Venmo Casey.
Venmo me.
Casey's having it.
Venmo me.
Venmo me.
Venmo me.
And Casey.
Ali Khan on Venmo.
When I was looking for a new couch, I said that.
And then I got a lot of really, really, really nice people sent me money for my couch.
That's so sick.
I need a new couch, too.
You got a couch worth of money?
What's that?
You got a couch worth of money?
I mean it.
Listen, it helped.
Every dollar helped.
Every dollar.
What I will say, if there's one way not to get someone to Venmo you, it's for you to say Venmo me after Ali said Venmo her.
Yeah, it's kind of out of the question.
I'll save it for next time.
We should do like a Sarah McLoughlin style, like you could sponsor one of us.
Yeah, that's not bad at all.
Like a fucking, what is it?
The As Seen on TV thing.
The QVC.
In the arms of the vodkas.
And like a montage of all of us and all the things that we do. Couch. Yeah's it. And like a montage of all of us
and all the things that we do.
Couch.
Yeah.
I feel like that setting won't work for me.
I feel like I'll be the last on the list
that people would want a Venmo.
Reflect inward, Casey.
Well, I was the last one to jump in there
and be like, oh yeah, send me money too.
Allie, what else do you have
That's it
Newcomers
New season newcomers will be launching in January
We both worked on that
We should say that this new season is them watching my saved stories
And reacting badly to them
Come on
Sense is working overtime
Sense is working overtime
Check that show out.
Honestly, 2024, I had a good one.
2024.
It might be our biggest year ever.

Radio free Anya on Instagram.
Follow the.lovemotel and submit your love advice questions.
We are running low.
The well is empty.
Wow. And we are re-upping
in January
so please
we're begging you
you all need help
I'm sure
can I say that
yeah
and
there's gonna be a new show
live stream show
coming to Twitch
rock and roll radio show
hosted by me
Jeff will never be a guest
but everybody else here
more than welcome
I'm all in on that
although
now that you listen to bands
other than the Grateful Dead
we have a lot to talk about. That was never
my only band. It's a music radio
show live on the HeadGum
Twitch. Radio free on Instagram.
I already said that. Thanks, Jeff, for having us.
I will say that
if anybody didn't like medical procedure
or cheating as a segment, my
girlfriend came up with that. That wasn't me.
I really like your girlfriend, so now I see it differently.
I knew that would happen.
I feel like it won't be relevant to people
what you're saying right now because you will have cut the segment.
Really? It was bad.
And I had to take a phone call during it.
But, you know, that means that Nick was basically on the show.
It's going to say
whatever the title of this episode is, and then
it's going to say, with Nick, whatever his last name is.
Bond or whatever. Ha ha ha!
