This is a HeadGum Original.
Welcome to the Thunderdome, Johnny.
It's another episode of the HeadGum Podcast coming at you live from Los Angeles, California,
and New Jersey and New York, tri-state area.
About to get into it, about to do it to it.
Johnny Villa here on the show, the core four.
It's Villa.
What's that?
It's Villa.
I'm sorry. I've never had to
say it out loud. I've only read it because we
we're working remote in a way. Yeah.
No, I mean, I respect that. Like
you're definitely being cognizant
about like language differences
and like pronunciation differences. But
you're giving me too much credit. I just
for me, it's about like throwing up enough
shit on the wall, seeing what sticks, seeing
what hits, seeing what strikes a chord or a nerve with someone.
Are you pissed?
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was that, Marika?
I just laughed.
This is the show.
This is absolutely the show.
Johnny, I haven't given you any intro.
You are a ad sales intern, future executive.
Yeah, I definitely like to poise myself as an executive at the company, especially down the line.
But I definitely don't want to use that kind of title right now.
CCO, Chief Community Officer?
Definitely not that either.
I think I'm still the lowest on the rung uh at head
gum and i'm definitely walking on eggshell so i don't want to step on anybody's toes right now
because i you know the saying uh first or last one hired first one fired you know that's definitely
not the situation at the network uh i'm obviously always on eggshells and you're not the lowest on
the on the ladder it's definitely are you okay me because because of the things I say in the chat.
I got chewed out by Marty over the phone yesterday
for even talking to Danny.
I already hear that.
Yeah.
That's all you have to say, Amir.
Let's try to get the energy back, baby.
You don't have to think about or bring it up.
Definitely don't bring it up up but don't think about it
try to
you're so blunt about it that's the issue
he wasn't even like happy to be
chewing me out he was just like look
this is Jeopardy
what game do we have for today
I just I truly
was fearing for my job security
Oswell that
ends well fam agree but it's my fear security yesterday. All's well that ends well, fam.
Agreed, but my fear is that it's not going to end well.
Yeah.
Johnny, tell us a little bit about yourselves.
We know you, but let the people know.
What's more to say?
I'm Johnny Villa.
I come from, I represent Burlington, New Jersey.
If you're not aware of Burlington Coat Factory,
that's where the headquarters is.
It's my favorite place in the world.
Burlington Coat Factory?
Yeah, Burlington Coat Factory.
That's cool.
Yeah, we should mention that you're wearing an entire fur coat.
Yes, yes, indeed.
Layered over a parka.
Wrapped inside of a riddle.
It is boiling hot.
I also have like serious
chills right now so this is just this is really good for me yeah you have you have the virus
for sure sorry i'm not really following what you're saying coronavirus covid19
the reason why we can't go anywhere what was that regeneron it's like a ad for the steroid he took
right gotcha regeneron Yeah, they did it.
It's almost a jingle.
Yeah.
Regeneron.
Johnny, are you single?
Indeed, I'm single.
You don't have to answer
and you shouldn't have asked.
So you don't need to delve
into like the romantic intricacies
of someone's life.
Let's just, let's keep it light,
surface level.
We just did If I Were You
and you asked me to name
first, middle, last name light surface. We just did. If I were you and you asked me to name first,
middle, last name of the last person I kissed.
That was an interesting way into a fun conversation.
I thought yours is like putting someone on the spot.
I would agree.
I certainly don't want to antagonize Jeff,
especially with that question because I am single and ready to mingle.
And if anything,
I like the idea of announcing it to the audience of the HeadGum podcast.
To kind of just see who bites any flies that want to fly around me.
That's cool.
The floodgates are opening.
Find me on Highly.
Say hi me on Highly.
Say hi Lee on Highly highly I matched with Lee are quite frankly are
awful Marika I feel like you're hiding in the shadows do you want to kind of
out yourself and stop being a care
you want to take that again yeah let me take it again i'll cut this out don't cut it out though
keep it in you're kind of being a little bit of a runt in the shadows wondering if you want to
stop being a little coward if i just want to stop being a coward is the question. Just about everything. One trillion dollars.
Okay.
I'm trying to get the energy up like Amir said.
Not only are you not saying anything, but you're shrouded in mystery and your background is Jeremy Strong.
I am shrouded in mystery.
My room is very messy, so I put on a background so you don't have to look at it.
I guess it's dark in here also because I have the curtains closed.
I'm sorry, Amir. I didn't cough when you were accosting me for like being low energy being sad
about what marty said also if anything i feel like i should be i should be offended by the cough
nobody should be offended by the cough by the way it's i knew it wasn't about me this is unbelievable
this is not how i wanted this to go. I like being shrouded in mystery.
I feel like that's my MO generally.
That's cool.
I don't like to share everything about.
What's your MO?
Johnny, what's your MO?
That can't have been our first segment.
There's no way you could have predicted that.
That was absolutely not planned.
It was a nice coincidence.
No, it was not planned
so uh mo regarding like what like financial prospects how you generally occupy space in
this world like what's your whole deal in a way that's such a vague question you could answer it
a million ways and that's what's fun about the segment is i think i can't believe you're right you're right about that i guess my mo is
to just you know take it one day at a time smile and that's it i don't think life is that complex
you know people want to imbue so much meaning onto life but i think it's really that simple, guys.
That's really good.
Did you vote?
Now that is a question I know you aren't supposed to ask.
Marika, what's your whole MO?
You said shrouded in mystery.
What if I said my MO was live, laugh, love?
Like one of those tapestries.
Would you kick me out of the Zoom?
I would leave for the first time on this show.
I think I'd also i'd also leave live laugh love artwork is one of the topics that riley and i want to do for that's i that's a good idea so maybe when you come on rika i want i would like
to do broadway theaters if i were to ever come on we were kind of married to the whole
love thing of course that you just heard me say Amir your whole MO
besides shitting leaves
the hell is your problem
besides shitting leaves
listen to yourself
I'm trying to help you
I told you that in
public
confidence
I told you that in confidence
that you would make it public I told you that in doubt I told you that in confidence that you would make it public so thank you for that
doubt i'm proud of it in confidence i would love any explanation i'm just in a way trying to live
one day at a time uh laugh every minute and love with my whole heart you mixed what johnny and
marika said and you made it your own. Oh, really?
I didn't really put those two together.
But yeah, in a way,
I'm trying to make it so that
I'm trying to live every day
like it's to the fullest,
laugh with my whole heart
and love everyone that will let me love.
I love love.
I love being in love.
Love everyone that will let me love.
Such bad content.
And so far, I'm 0 for 6.
Yeah.
On making a meaningful connection with a friend or family member.
You have no meaningful connections.
I have two on LinkedIn.
I hate this tone.
You have two connections?
Meaningful ones, yes.
One is with the CMO.
Chief Marketing Officer.
No.
What is it?
Yeah, Cuomo.
One was with a C-U-O-M-O,
which is a Chief Union Operating Mr. Officer.
Mr. Officer.
Of CNN, so that's Chris Cuomo.
And the other one is with a tenant.
An attendant.
And that's actually all you need to know.
Bathroom or otherwise.
You know what?
Don't talk to me about tenant.
I want to talk about attendants.
Meaning?
Do we tip them or?
All right.
This brings us to our second segment.
What would Johnny do?
We've done this with Ferris Monshi
to get to know, you know, the man behind the Monshi.
But I want to know the man behind the villa.
Vanilla wafers in the villa.
Fuck! this show is sponsored by better help you know if you had an extra hour in your day
a lot of people would spend that very differently than the one sitting next to them.
Maybe person A would go for a run, person B would take a nap, and patient zero would read a book.
The point is, a lot of us spend our time and our lives wishing we had more hours in the day. And the question is,
what is that time for? And if time was unlimited, how would you use it? The best way to squeeze
that special thing into your schedule is to know what's important to you and make it a priority. Thus therapy can help you find what matters to you so you can do

with a couple of one-liners just scenarios that you might find yourself in pre, during, or post-pandemic.
And you tell me what would Johnny do.
And then again, Marika, Amir, feel free to chime in.
I might have to yell at you.
About what Johnny would do.
About what you would do in this scenario that I'm putting Johnny doing.
Got it, got it.
I got a good situation to sort of kick us off on.
All right.
So stand back, Jeff.
And stand by.
Johnny, you are going to a party.
This is 2019.
That's cool.
Right?
Okay.
But you're like sort of pre-gaming at home and like your buddies have ordered pizza.
So like you're already like pretty full and like kind of sauced up.
Love it.
Yeah.
Then when you get to the party,
hold on,
someone's at my door.
Dog's going crazy.
Then when you get to the party,
there's like crackers and meat and cheeses.
Charcuterie.
Now someone's ringing my doorbell.
Do you like still go ham on the charcuterie or is it like,
Oh,
I already ate.
I don't want to like eat.
Or is it like,
dude,
free food. I got to take advantage. It's a good one. Yeah, that's a already ate. I don't want to like eat. Or is it like, dude, free food.
I got to take advantage.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
I always kind of see food and kind of imagine myself like,
is this going to be my last meal?
So I actually genuinely, that's genuinely what I think.
So you think you're on the verge of death every meal yeah like I
know charcuterie is like such a nice way
to like have your last meal such a nice
last meal so yeah I would definitely go
ham on it and considering my metabolism
is like extremely high I don't see any
repercussions from it that must be nice
yeah that's good all right I'm gonna see
who's at my door you guys must be right
to have a faster
metabolism than george uh all right what's that washington yeah okay uh marika what about you if
you're fine you find yourself in that position are you going after that charcuterie um i mean
frankly i'm not a huge charcuterie person because I don't like, quote unquote, raw cheese, I believe is a term Nicole Byer coined.
And I don't eat a lot of meat.
So it's really just a cracker situation for me.
A dry cracker from a charcuterie board, maybe a pickle here or there.
So I think I'd pass.
Have you ever put a pickle slice on a cracker?
Probably. I can't recall a time, but I'm sure I have. I've never done that, but it's an idea
that I just thought of like a Ritz with a nice bread and butter. That's a snack.
That's your next Instagram post. Why would you say that? Because of the one that you had
where you put R roots crackers by a tub
that was a sponsored post yeah a thousand dollars for that i mean that's great
i'm gonna shoot this one off i know blooms is not gonna hear it but he'll catch him off guard
when he comes in all right johnny you're in a bar and the bartender cuts you off before you even
order a single drink what would johnny do i think'd just take the L on that one because I'm
a little too scared to speak my mind
and kind of assert myself.
I'm also very, very tiny, so
just asserting myself is just going to look comical.
I think I'll just
leave the bar and kind of just go home empty-handed
and be sad. That's really sad.
Also, you're not tiny.
Who do you think this bartender is going to be?
I don't know someone taller one
second one second what's going on yeah my buddy aj just sent me like the funniest yeah he does
this sometimes where he'll just stop uh doing anything productive like recording the podcast
and just like answer a call or text yeah Yeah. Kind of goofing around backstage.
It's kind of so irrelevant.
It's irreverent.
It's frustrating to us because, you know, we're trying to do this.
Like you and I have work to do.
Yeah.
And we took time out of our day.
I get that.
Are you back, Jeff?
I'm back with my tail between my legs because I didn't think about it that way.
Right.
Yeah.
Obviously you didn't. You picked up a text.. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously, you didn't.
You picked up a text.
You opened a video of BTS, you said.
BTS.
It was backstage BTS.
It was kind of BTS, BTS.
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oofing off.
Because they obviously have downtime between rehearsal.
Yeah.
Right.
But that's like, I don't think you need to explain what's going on in the video necessarily.
Okay.
I think more or less, you did make like a big point of just, you know,
me being on airplane mode.
You told me like extensively to not have my phone by me,
but it just feels kind of hypocritical.
You're right.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Marika.
I feel like you should apologize to Johnny too.
How so?
Well, I feel like I'm pretty, I'm used to your antics
and Johnny seems
a little upset about it.
Yeah.
So I think it's worth
just apologizing to him.
I'll just,
I'm going to apologize now
for what I've done thus far
and what I will do
for the next half an hour.
All right.
That's fair enough
and I appreciate it.
I sincerely apologize.
All right.
So you're getting your flu shot and the nurse is sort of
cute what would johnny do marika what would you do and then let's go to i feel like i i really
wouldn't do much i think i just if at all, I'd probably just get my flu shot and then leave
and then be like, oh, that person was cute.
Nothing will happen.
Yeah, I think I'd do the same exact thing as Marika.
I respect someone in the service industry,
and I think Medicare is somewhat service.
So, you know, I wouldn't kind of put them on the spot like that.
And I think it's kind of strange to ask that question.
I think you wanted to coax me into saying something really compromising.
And I get that.
And I get that.
And that's not, it would have been nice to like kind of catch you.
Why would you want to catch me?
Well, because I'm like, I'm trying to make sure that I'm not the only one that Marty calls and chews out.
It'd be nice to have like, A, to not be the only one.
And then B, to kind of forge a kinship with you johnny because we can kind of text and be like yeah you don't have to
like strategically plan someone else's demise at the company it's just like a way to connect with
someone right yeah that's not the way that's absolutely your tailor is yapping your ear off
about how you can't taper your jeans ankle openings to four inches because that's impossibly small and your feet
won't fit through the hole what would you i've gone through this exact scenario and i'm not joking
this is on wall street uh there's a tailor that i went to uh and he told me are you sure your feet
are going to fit through it and i just kept pestering him saying yes and uh lo and behold
the customer was always right and I was the customer
nice really confusing way
of putting that pick up the pants I did pick up
the pants I'm wearing them right now actually
and they do fit you stand up it's
tux pants they're impossibly
tight all the right
tightness in the wrong
places oh yeah
we're wearing jeans what's that
I said um it was just a little ditty places. Oh yeah. We're wearing jeans. What's that?
I said it was just a little ditty.
It doesn't... Jeff, sing it again.
It's small in the grand scheme of things.
Sing it. It's hard because I'm like
starting to get really sad but
it's...
Did Johnny end up eating the snacks
from the
thing that I asked? The charcuterie?
I think I missed the answer.
Why do you have a mask on?
I was talking to somebody.
Somebody came to my door.
That's why I had to.
Yeah, but you can take it off, right?
But yeah, I might have to like keep going in and out.
They have to, I guess a tree is touching some electrical wiring near my house and they kind of need access to it.
So they were asking me if they could um
yeah access like you're trying to park your big mac truck right in a little garage what would
johnny do you have to answer this is another compromising question and you shouldn't answer
it you shouldn't ask it and he definitely shouldn't answer let's go to the next one
let's keep it like nitpick the way you guys host your shows
it's fine never mind the coronavirus vaccine what are you doing right after what would johnny do nitpick the way you guys host your shows. Never mind.
You get the coronavirus vaccine.
What are you doing right after?
What would Johnny do?
This is for everybody.
Starting with me, I guess.
For everybody to say,
what would Johnny do?
What would you do?
And then the game is called
What Would Johnny Do?
We've been over this with Paris Manshi.
I'd go back home,
kind of keep myself safe from everybody.
I still don't want to go outside.
Can't take any risks.
Right? Yeah. myself safe from everybody. I still don't want to go outside. Can't take any risks. Right.
Yeah.
It feels like this is like novel
information for you.
Like you would immediately go out
or something like that.
I thought you were going to go to
like Macy's.
Take advantage of some deals.
I obviously wouldn't.
Marika what are you doing as soon
as you get that wacky vaccine.
I just want to clarify we know that he's a burlington coat factory stand so he absolutely would never go to a macy's yeah
yeah different store yeah marika amir as soon as you get that vaccine what are you doing i mean i
feel like i feel like i've answered this before and i think i'd also just go home i don't think i'd go crazy all of a sudden
i think i'd just treat it like a normal day uh yeah i mean i think i'd just kind of be i'd go
back inside and kind of wait for the general masses to confirm that things are back to normal for really letting loose and doing some
more normal activities it would take months right before yeah people started seeing the
ramifications of opening up the country again under a vaccine that we hope works tested for
30 000 cases and then given to 300 million we can't just start flooding the streets and kissing each other
like world war ii just ended i know yeah you're annoyed by that realization or sort of taking a
video of you yelling at a grocery store clerk goes viral with the hashtag, don't be a Johnny.
Amir, what would you do?
What?
Me going crazy hashtag is don't be Johnny.
Exactly right.
I would reenact it in a
humorous way, sort of trying to own it.
And I'm like, alright, you guys got me.
I'm a Johnny. Or something
silly and try to turn it into some
sort of TikTok
craze that I can capitalize on in a
way, in a way, in a day,
in a way. Marika? I mean, I think I'd say that I can capitalize on in a way in a way in a day in a way Marika I mean I think I'd say
that I would also try to make fun of it make light of the situation but I'd probably be really sad
that I did that you'd feel regret yeah I think I'd try to leave the internet for a while but I
wouldn't be able to sure sure because I'm too addicted to the internet. Johnny? I'd certainly
have to make amends with the person I yelled at. I've worked in the service industry and I can
imagine how stressful it is just the day to day. And on top of having someone yell at you, it's
like, it's not great. So I guess I'd have to publicly apologize or something like that.
Yeah.
Well, now I feel bad.
Why do you feel bad?
What's that?
Why do you feel bad?
I tripped a clerk.
She was stalking the chip aisle.
But I thought she was stalking me.
Do not be a Johnny.
All right.
Someone offers you $80 million to spend the rest of your 20s in Birmingham, Alabama.
What would Johnny do?
You get the $80 million in one lump sum on your 30th birthday if you spend from today to your 30th birthday in Birmingham, Alabama.
You got to do it.
I think it's worth it.
Birmingham's kind of fun.
It's like a college town.
Not really.
Suck it up for...
How old are you, Johnny?
23.
Wow.
You're already 30% done.
Seven more years to go.
You leave as a fucking millionaire.
You can retire.
Go anywhere you want.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Oxford, Mississippi.
The whole South is your oyster at
that point anywhere is his oyster is 80 million dollars after taxes 67 in alabama yeah you still
have to pay federal taxes really well hopefully this trapped trump tax cut doesn't get repealed on the first day i'd do it twirling your hair marika has a gun i can do it
i couldn't leave the city of birmingham at all you cannot leave the city bounds of birmingham
alabama for not familiar of your life but you're what 20 25 or 26 25 so you that's only five years
yeah i do it one of them will be still in this working from home environment.
You're arguing against me when I already agree with you.
No, I'm saying.
How could you say no?
How could you?
Yeah.
Especially for 80 million.
Yeah.
Right.
10 to 15 years down the line, you find your dream house and you can afford it.
But someone was murdered there.
Are you asking us?
I don't care.
It's kind of interesting to think about.
What's the question?
Moving on.
That is the question.
Hayley Williams from Paramore DMs you wanting to have an extramarital affair with you.
What would Johnny do?
I think I'd take and kind of ride out the clout that's going to kind of coast with me for the rest of my life.
You can't buy that kind of publicity for sure.
Williams, Haley Williams.
That's fucking that's TMZ.
You'll eat that shit up.
Is it?
I say as a big Paramore fan.
We have to move on.
This is this is absolutely not how I wanted this to go.
Things.
This is our next segment.
Things that are cooler than voting.
Hearing a lot of stuff about how voting is cool.
I don't really get it.
You're just fucking filling out bubbles and mailing it.
Like, that's why is that trill?
Like, let's get this going.
A vacation tan.
That's cooler than voting.
This is a this is a bad segment.
I'm just going to say it that this is a bag segment. We can all agree that this is a bag segment I'm just gonna say it that this is a bad segment
we can all agree that this is a bad segment
head
okay you know what you're right this is a bad segment
I had some like plays on words I was like
queso blanco, benny blanco
yeah a lot of sauces around here
aioli, caramel sauce
ethical porn
diner coffee

raya
land rover defenders
and having a say in shit
the show
Frazier
Frazier furs
Nevin

It's all cooler than voting.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't vote.
You should.
I'm just saying that let's stop acting like it's the coolest thing you can do.
Nevin is cooler.
I don't know.
Nevin, the weird small neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles,
just south of the 10 of the Arts District.
It's like four blocks.
Yeah. Voting is cooler than Nevin. It's like four blocks. Yeah.
Voting is cooler than nothing.
It's mostly shipping warehouses.
All right.
What food is delicious but is a pain to eat?
I have to leave.
Are you shitting me?
We're only 30 minutes in and I'm cold.
I'm getting like stimulus from the outside.
Like people are needing to come in and out.
Dogs going crazy.
And then like what's
keeping me here is like absolutely asinine questions like what food is hard to eat
this is a no-brainer for me to have to go right
lobsters is lie here like crabs or something that's hard to like prepare yeah i feel like yeah now we just we fully left the problem
with this is it's not a question so much it is a riddle and i think that's where you really you
really anger us with the riddle i don't think it's a riddle i think it's it's subjective for
me it's ribs i love barbecue baby back ribs but like your your fingers are gonna smell like
barbecue for the next calendar day when's the last time you had ribs two weeks ago
and i thank you not to bring it up again way too recently
i think johnny what are you for me oreos just a sandwich cookie is too difficult to eat.
Johnny can't be bothered, Marika.
Explain this.
How do you eat an Oreo?
Okay, well, I eat an Oreo by dipping it extensively in milk.
I wait until it's extremely, extremely soft.
And I don't like having the milk residue on my fingertips.
I think of it much like a baby back rib in the sense that your fingers are a little musty.
In a way, in a way, I could totally get that.
So you should be like making a bowl of cereal, but instead of cereal, it's Oreos and you're pouring the milk on them.
That's like the consistency of an Oreo that you would want.
John Mayer did that. He did the Oreo minis in milk and that was cereal to him.
It's all cereal to me with oreos i've over
the years decided that now my favorite part is the cookie and i don't like the cream that's
i think that's just part of getting older what then i'm old then i love the cookie
if you just eat the cookie you end up with like stuff in your teeth for the rest of the year for the rest of the year do you brush
brush do you even brush yeah i i take my hair brush and i brush my teeth okay johnny
all right what old person things do you guys do so there's no time to even dig into that
old person things old person habits that you might as well be doing, America. Don't use that voice.
Also, that made it more confusing somehow.
I guess going to the theater.
I feel like that's an old person thing to do.
And I used to do that a lot.
Yeah.
That's all you have to say?
No engagement in what I answered. You just say yeah. What do you want have to say no no no engagement
in what I answered
you just say yeah
what do you want me to say
I
anything
that's interesting
that was so ingenuine
this I mean
this is what
this podcast is like
Johnny
I
will often
yell at
teens
about
an old person
like I'll be at the
you know pre-covid
I'll be at the grocery store
and they're like
tripping the yeah tripping clerks and because they think they run the place but you know what like I'll be at the you know pre-covid I'll be at the grocery store and they're like tripping the yeah clerking clerks and uh because they think they run the place but you
know what like they would be nothing without their customers so right how old are you what
how old are you when you miss 11th grade for the seventh year in a row oh yeah do the math
I'm 20 yeah it's fine what's the most expensive thing you've ever broken?
I've definitely broken a lot of electronics growing up.
And it's definitely sown a lot of distrust between me and my parents.
Sure, sure.
So yeah, I can imagine I've broken vases, electronics, some household objects for sure.
Yeah, that makes sense.
You're bound to do that as a child.
But what about like as an adult, do you think?
Oh, no, we are talking about as an adult too right so you're just going around breaking electronics and vases as a 23 year old man yeah i mean kind of just because i've already sown that distrust
as a child i think it's rightfully so in my character to just continue i don't think so
better yourself and maybe just be like less reckless with your body. Be more spatially aware.
Well, let's hear Marika's.
I don't know if I have one.
I really can't think of any like big item that I've broken.
I'm very careful.
That's cool.
What's yours?
You were setting it up.
A heart.
Yeah, obviously that was the answer.
Obviously. Because the average heart transplant, Johnny, $1.4 million.
If someone narrated your...
She's gone.
All right, we'll end on this one, Johnny.
If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator and you can't say Morgan Freeman?
I think David Attenborough.
He'd be a great narrator for my life.
And I know who that is, but just for the listeners that don't.
Who is that?
I think he's, I actually might be very incorrect on this.
I think it's the guy who narrates Planet Earth.
Oh, that's good.
I love that.
Yeah, I think I need someone with an accent to narrate my life.
That's a good point.
Fuck, I have to change my answer then.
Accent.
I think it's fine like you can
no yeah i'm gonna do i'm gonna stick with my original answer i'm gonna say um ron howard
oh great that's a great my life feels like arrested development yeah you know what i'd
like to change my answer then if that's okay yeah okay i'd like to i think the guy who like
narrated arrested development uh ron howard actually yeah I think he'd be okay so the one that
I said you just
stole mine

good answer
