Max Greenfield and I were in it together with Zoe, and he didn't even look at the script. I've never seen anything like it. He just put it down and started improvising, and I didn't know that was possible. Yeah, that confidence is off the charts. But he's very, it's a very interesting call we have with him.

Well, thank you. I appreciate you taking the call. Can I get your first name, please? Well, I'm going to use a fake name if that's okay with you. Of course it's fair. As long as it's real to you what you're saying, we're okay with the details being fake. All right.

So I'm going to use the very popular 1970s name, Jennifer. Jennifer is great. And where are you from, Jennifer? I'm from a small area in north central Arizona. Arizona. I'm not going to say specific because it's a small community. I think that sounds fair. I think that's fair.

Do you feel comfortable saying your age or your zone, or do you want to keep that vague too? Oh, no. I'm 47. I'm proud. So 47, Jennifer from Arizona. that vague too oh no i'm i'm 47 i'm proud so 47 jennifer from arizona you are on today with jake johnson gareth reynolds and my special guy a brother from another a mister with no sister a husband with no second half of that line, Mr. Damon Waynes Jr. Look at him looking cute on this.

Hi, Jennifer. How you doing? Hey, I'm good. How are you? Here to help. So you got three of us, Jennifer. We're going to try our hardest. We are on your team. We might not lead you correctly, but we are going to try our hardest. So why are you calling today? What you got? Okay. So in the danger of sounding a little full of myself, I've been a high school teacher for about 18 years.

This year I actually became an assistant principal. And so for all that time, I've been having to put up with some pretty rude comments from mostly the boys on my looks. This has ranged from just weird comments to totally inappropriate comments to my backside being spray painted in an act of vandalism during a senior prank. Your backside, meaning your ass? Yeah.

Was spray painted? Wait a second. You got your butt was spray painted? They spray painted a picture of my butt on my coffin door. And then Jennifer, just so we can get a taste of what we're dealing with here, what are some of the type of comments? Some of them would straight up ask me what I was doing on the weekend. If they could go out with me, I had one ask if I would be a sugar mama. Oh, so Jennifer, it all leans in this. They're attracted to you. Is that the sort of feeling I'm getting? Yeah, that's more than a feeling if they're asking you out and asking you to be their sugar mama and spray painting your ass. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. So I understand this. So you're in your high school teacher. The boys are getting a little bit out of control. And then get us back on track, please. So what I need help with is, you know, how do I shut that down with that? I don't want to embarrass them. I don't want to have to, you want to have know how to properly

compliment a woman without making it super weird. Okay. So to kind of paraphrase to get us started, and tell me if I'm wrong, but these kids aren't offending you or putting you in a position where you feel unsafe. They're just annoying. Is that correct? They're annoying and it's just gross. I'm old enough. I have sons their age. Interesting. Okay. So how do we shut these kids up without it becoming a bigger issue and you having to shame them or talk to their parents? How do we do it in a fun way to get a teenage boy to cool it? Is that yes exactly why are they spray painting your your butt um i think they thought it was a compliment it was part of the senior prank like so i know they did a lot of vandalism around the school but on my door they wrote like milf

and then they spray painted what was a very bad picture of me. So you're in a zone where you're the hot teacher. Yeah. And it's assistant principal. And it's becoming a thing. And how do you end it without making it a bigger... Obviously, there could be like a school-wide email that goes to parents and that would end it. But I don't think it doesn't sound like that's what you want to do. Yeah, I'm trying not to go there because I mean, come on, what what egomaniac does that? Well, I think I don't

know. I mean, if it's really happening and you you know, I don't think you'd be like, look, we all know I have an ass that don't quit, but these kids are finally picking. Like, I feel like you could do this in a way where you're not. But she doesn't want to. She wants to. I know. She wants to get the kids individually. So I think we should come up with lines she can say to individual kids.

Yeah. That just, that murders them a little bit. A little bit, but not soul crushing. And I figured who's better than two of the snarkiest, funniest guys on the planet. Well, now you got the third, you got Mr. And the third,

that was a treat. So I got a question for Gareth and Damon here. Has a, somebody you've ever been making moves on ever rejected you in a way that so quickly stopped you in your tracks? Has there been a line that you, what was something that that person did that just ended the game so quickly that you went like? I remember, I don't even remember what I was doing. Damon probably has less of these than I do, but man, I have a, I could write a book. I remember I was at a bar once and I went up to

probably three women and I don't even remember what I said. Something kind of cocky trying to just be like, hey, you know, whatever. The party's here. And this woman goes, is every guy in here an idiot? And they all looked at each other. Wow. Yeah, it was bad. And it was so bad that it was unrecoverable.

It was like an ACL popped. It was like that. I needed the stretcher versus like I could walk it was unrecoverable. It was like an ACL popped. It was like that. I needed the stretcher versus like I could walk it off a little bit. Damon, you got anything? Anything jump at you? I'm going to do an impression of Damon. I've never been rejected by somebody. It's just kind of a unique circumstance.

So my dad used to do a lot of stand-up, and all his standup shows were basically just roasting his family. And he had one joke where he was saying that as a teenager, I started masturbating a lot. And I think of any excuse to go do that. And so I come home and I'd be like, spaghetti again, I'll be right back. And I'd go to the bathroom and jerk my heart, right? And so I was going to hook up with this girl one time. And I think we like kissed twice. And I thought I was going to go further. And then she was like, wait a minute, are you the spaghetti guy? And then just started laughing really hard in my face.

Her friend came in it was devastating here's a zone i would maybe go in jennifer if somebody says uh what are you doing this weekend i think you could potentially go in the zone of you know push it a little bit and go why do you ask and they go because i'd, you know, maybe take you out and get them to a point where you ever seen like to catch a predator, the Chris Hansen show actually, where the person comes in and they've been doing these like sexually graphic things to a cop of what they want to do. And then they get caught. And then the person gets revealed that they have all the stuff that they said, and they're caught looking like a clown. So what I would try to do in terms of something like that is I would make these kids say explicitly more of what they would

like to do, where you're like, well, what are you going to do this weekend? They go, take you out and go and do what? I'm an assistant principal. I'm 47 years old. You're a 15 year old boy with no pubic hair. What would you, what is your point here? And they go, well, I'd like to make love to you under the moonlight. And you go, well, wonderful. I've recorded that on my phone. I'm going to send this to your parents and see what your mother and father think, Carl. And then go, do you want me to be your sugar mama? Yeah. And why, what would I get if I paid your paid your bills well you would get five foot nine of like hot loving all night and you go great thanks fred so that's been recorded so why don't i send that to your parents get some feedback from them on your hot loving and then we'll see what we can

do and i think word will spread that jennifer's recording all this and not afraid to send it to parents. Yeah. I mean, is that out of line? What do you guys think? Even if you don't send it. No, you never send it. You don't have to record it. You could just keep your phone up.

But get them talking. So if somebody just goes like, what's up, Milf? You go like this. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Come back, come back, come back. And they go, yeah. Get them one-on-one away from their friends. Cause young guys are really cool and confident in packs way less one-on-one. Absolutely. So if they're with their group and you couldn't get one-on-one

then go, and what, what is it you would like to do? And they would go with you and me. Yeah, please. I'm going to record this. So what is it you want to do with a 47 year old assistant principal? And these little boys will oh man yeah for sure okay so i gotta i gotta break them off the pack yeah single them out yeah divide the group one-on-one and then but also get them talking i would also do this i've heard that when you meet steve martin and people ask an autograph, he hands you a business card that says, I met Steve Martin. What if you could Vistaprint up some cards that say, you're a little boy, I'm a grown woman, stop.

That's a great idea, Gareth. So you could go on Vistaprint, and when you get some of these little shits doing this thing, you could very simply just start handing out cards that maybe are you know legalized enough where you're not saying anything in print too bad but you just shut them down stop being inappropriate you're a little boy i'm 47 you're you're weird yes yeah you're a weird little boy cool it just get 50 100 of them made up i'm old enough to be your mom i think is all it has to them made up. I'm old enough to be your mom, I think is all it has to say. I'm old enough to be, but also give a little dig.

I'm old enough to be your mom. Stop being weird, you little boy. Something that also stings so that they can't show it to their friends and be like, dude, I'm old enough to be your mom card. That's amazing. You want them to feel like i'm ashamed because i'm a little creep you know like so i'm old enough to be your mom you little weirdo perv i just stop being weird stop being weird is kind of like a good little tag to have like so

that people know that if you get the stop being weird, it's time to shut the fuck up. Yes, but you don't want it to be a badge of honor. You don't want someone to be a legend for getting a card from the assistant principal. There's got to be a teeny bit of shame in getting a card. Stop being weird is shameful. Depends on the kids. It depends on the kids. But Damon Wayne Jr.'s story about being the spaghetti masturbator that's shameful right spaghetti masturbator's tough yeah so if there's something about it where it's the

equivalent of that card is basically saying stop masturbating about me so that they can't show it to girls and be like oh my god trevor's a legend it's like no he pretends to eat spaghetti and masturbates he's a weirdo he's a little perv he's like he's got his hormones too much and it's fucking yuck dude so i would say the card jennifer just put a little bit of vinegar in there and think of a little bit of humiliation but don't do it so it's also kind of cute for them and you can't go too far. So you don't get in trouble. Yep. Yeah.

I like, I love my job. I don't want to get fired. I don't want to have to appear in front of a school board. We don't want that on our hands either. Damon, anything jumping out to you before we start wrapping it up? No,

I think those are really good options. I think the card thing is hilarious and also extremely, extremely embarrassing for the kids. I don't know. Yeah, I think you need to act on that as soon as possible. Well, it's also it's just like at that age. I mean, you're as a boy, you are just firing on all fucking cylinders like Like you are just, it's ramping up. Look, I remember having hot teachers. Oh yeah.

I never said anything. No, never. I remember thinking it, but these kids aren't thinking it. These kids are bold enough to act on it. And that's different. No, you've got to nip it in the bud. If you're a teenage boy and there's an assistant teacher. Yeah, but guess what?

So let him be hot and whisper to your friends like little nerds and be like, dude, what I wouldn't do to her. And nothing. You wouldn't do anything to her. Cool it, you little geek. This group is taking it over the line. I agree. And so, Jennifer, you got to win here and you got to silence them.

So the advice that's coming out of this camp for me is make them isolate them one-on-one, record them, get them saying stuff that's humiliating them and reminding them that they're all afraid of their mothers and they're all little dorks. Gareth's advice is to create a card that shames them a little and basically says, I see what you're doing and you're a little pervo. And Damon's advice is don't have your dad do standup where he mentions how much you masturbate in high school because it will kill your game. So at the end of this, we like to ask the caller what you think you're going to do. So you think you're going to take any of this advice? If so, what,

if not, what are you going to do? I think I'm going to start with Jake's advice. I think that's really solid. Just kind of get them to start saying things out loud, show them how ridiculous they are, and then scare the shit out of them by saying, I recorded it and I'm going to tell their mom. If that doesn't work and work, and this is so weird, I actually have this to print open. I was working on business cards just yesterday. So it feels like a sign. The Lord is speaking to us.

Absolutely. I mean, if J-Town is here, he is in my Vista print right now. So I might have to have a few of those handy just in case the first step doesn't work. And if not, maybe I'll try to convince some of their dads to do some stand-up and tell me their deepest, darkest masturbation secrets. Jennifer, thank you for the call. We wish you luck. Keep us posted. Let us know if for the call. We wish you luck. Thank you so much.

Keep us posted. Let us know if it improves. All right, will do. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thanks. Today's episode is brought to you by Babbel. That's right, Jake.

Listen, you know what Babbel is, right? Science-backed language learning app that actually works, which I find to be very important. Science-backed, Jake. Listen, don't bother paying hundreds of dollars for a private tutor. They come over, they're like asking for snacks, they're being annoying, or even waste hours on apps that don't really help. We're here to help, and Babbel is going to help you. Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real life situations. So, Jake, for instance, if you want to learn, I started relearning French through Babbel a little bit. Yes, because I used to know

French, but then I don't know French. But it's still there. You know what I like about it is that it's got a speech recognition technology. Yep. Because the problem with learning a new language is if you sound like you're from another country. Yes. If it can actually help with the accent. Yes. That's a big ass turn. And applicable to situations you're going to find yourself in.

Like when I think back to taking French, it was just like so much of it was like, I'm never going to do that. It's like, how do you order food? how do you get a drink how do you ask for directions but so babble's great now listen listen everybody should we bring him in right one quick pause should we bring in the clothes studies from yale this is interesting michigan state university and others prove that babble is better so one study found that using babble for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester at college. So if that's true, which Yale's no joke, it's just putting schooling in a different light. Yes.

If you spend 15 hours, let's say you didn't go to college and you always feel like, well, I don't know. I didn't go to college. 15 hours. You just did a semester. Yeah. That's wild. Yes. That's a wild study so speaking of

language should we bring in the closer or should i do it closer all right hold on let's get him kevin doors open all right oh you meant gill yeah i meant kevin what kevin was gonna do it no i thought we were talking about the closer they we were he parked in front of all our cars so might as well we can't leave well what's what's the problem go ahead so that old jalopy is gills yes and you can turn it off i guess now keep it running i want the rest it's bad for a lot of smoke i'm pausing a serious except now listen here's a special limited time deal for our listeners right now get 55 off your babble subscription but only for our listeners this isn now, get 55% off your Babbel subscription, but only for our listeners.

That's what a doctor said to me about my hips. I'm getting to the point where it's sad when doctors are just like, yeah, you're just the. I've had a doctor who looked at my body and then went like this. Well, you're mid 40s. Yeah. What a jerk. Well, that guy's hopefully40s, yeah? Ugh, what a jerk.

calling from real quick? Sure. My name is Rose. I'm calling from Maryland, and I'm 32. Yeah, 32. You weren't sure about that, it seems like? No. I'm in that kind of age. Is that what the call's about?

Yeah. How do I have an exciting birthday in my early 30s? That's your question? No, no, no, no. I'm just kidding. That's about? Yeah. How do I have an exciting birthday in my early 30s? That's your question? No, no, no, no. I'm just kidding. That's not my question. Well done. You're vamping well.

You're a good vamper. Okay, Rose, you're probably 32. You're in Maryland. And what's the problem? What can we help you with? So my problem is related to a daycare policy at my son's daycare. I don't know if you guys have a good pulse on the daycare vibe that's going on in 2023, but it's crazy out there.

How old is your son, quickly? He is 10 months. 10 months. Okay. Okay. Yep. No, I'm not really up to speed i just have a cat uh so i don't really know what's going on with daycare rose i'd imagine jake i know a little bit about the world okay is it was it the wild wild west when your kids were in daycare it is always the wild wild west but i think it's always has been so walk me through what's happening in maryland with you so we found a place we really like it um we were able to get in got him there at

12 weeks once my maternity leave ended and they're nice they're really awesome the other kids they love him it's a family care center so like less than 10 kids close to our house, whatever. It's great. They opened like six months before we started. So this summer, we got a notification that summer programming was going to end the 8th or the 9th, whatever tomorrow is, the Friday. And then school, quote unquote school, starts on Mondayay the 11th and with that they need to start wearing uniform monday through thursday dressed down on friday yeah a uniform for a 10 month old baby what what the fuck's the uniform a diaper he told me he put that little baby in a tuxedo baby tuxedo i like is there a uniform bib because like my man has two teeth like also like at 10 months old

they're not even really wearing shoes he's not even walking so like i'm gonna put him in a uniform he's gonna be literally crawling on the ground and what is what is the uniform they want khaki pants red shirt wait khaki pants and a red shirt that is okay there are so many that's adorable a uniform in general is just such a wild ask but then for you to consider a red shirt and khaki pants a uniform it's tough because it's gonna be so cute like he's gonna look so cute in it but it is incredible rose what's what's that baby's name i'm gonna call him harry harry okay i get you you don't want to get kicked out of the school yeah i'm trying to remember when my kids were 10 months but does harry wear pants or is it just like weird sweat pant things yeah it's i mean he

wears soft pants yeah you know what i mean like shorts i remember those exactly like he doesn't have a button or a zipper on him it's all because he's 10 months old he doesn't have teeth he can't he doesn't have solid bones he doesn't have kneecaps yet. You're putting a uniform on a marshmallow. You cannot order a being on what it can wear if it doesn't have kneecaps. That's just law. When you've gone back to the school on this, Rose, because I'm assuming there's older kids, right? Yeah. So he is the youngest.

Yeah. So the older kids, it makes a little bit more sense. Have you brought it up, the fact that Harry's 10 months old. So my husband and I, like, we got the little notification about it and we were like, this is, we must not be understanding this. Right. Like this makes absolutely no sense. Of course I go back and look at all of the like paperwork or registration. There's nothing in there. So like, I'm getting all like heated about it, but I don't want to cause a scene. Like I don't want to be that parent.

Also, you don't want to get heated about this. We're talking about baby uniforms and also your son's not going to remember. So, you know, it's not like he's being traumatized. No, definitely not. So when we went, the next time I saw her, I just tried to like casually bring it up. So when we went, the next time I saw her, I just tried to like casually bring it up. And her response was just like, I felt like I was stupid for not knowing there'd be a uniform. She was like, yeah, it'll be this and he'll start.

And this is what it is. And you can buy it at these places and you can start on September when everyone else does, or you can wait until his birthday when he turns one. And I was just like, uh, okay, thanks. And walked out because i felt so like shocked by the whole concept garf believe it or not but i got advice i'm ready to start well can i can i give one can i give you one parameter we're not leaving but we're for sure staying at this daycare right it's just a matter of do we push back? Do we have to wait until he's older?

My advice is going to help you stay. Okay. Well, why don't you jump in, Jake? You put a uniform on a 10-month-old baby. The first thing that's going to happen is you and your husband are going to die laughing. Shopping for him will create big laughs. Putting him in the little khaki pants and shoes will be incredible. And then you drop off that tornado at a daycare and say, I hope he's wearing his uniform when

I pick him up because I'll tell you what's going to happen when he starts walking. I don't know if they make khakis for a kid that size. So when he's crawling around, they're going to fall off. And then his shirt is going to be covered in food and dirt and spit. And they're going to say, yeah, he's crawling around they're gonna fall off and then his shirt is gonna be covered in food and dirt and spit and they're gonna say yeah he's filthy you go well he's 10 months old what we had before was an you know a big bib you want this go for it it might just be that it might be a good opportunity to show them why their policy will fail just by doing it. I mean, a black shirt, all right, that's going to hide some stuff. I mean, a red shirt, you're going to see it all. Might I add to it, if you do feel a little bit like

this is a little unfair of an ask, maybe when you drop them off, you and your husband drop them off at the same time together, and you guys roll in there with khakis and red shirts too, Maybe when you drop them off, you and your husband drop them off at the same time together. And you guys roll in there with khakis and red shirts, too, just to show that you're maybe going overboard with the ask. Rose, honestly, I think this could be an easy one and a fun one for you and your husband. I say lean deep into the uniform. Don't fight it.

Who cares? They just started this school six months ago. Well, they're wrong. It's not going gonna make any sense they're gonna learn they will learn through this error make a big fight on this then they're gonna have to dig their hands in the dirt and make a line and go no no no all babies wear uniforms and at home they're gonna go why the fuck do we have all these babies in uniforms it's the dumbest thing i mean i just can't even like if i saw a group of babies in uniform i'd be like this is problematic i would die laughing i would salute every baby saluting is a great idea might i add maybe if you want throw a red beret on the kid just to really be like you guys have just paint a mustache on his lip give him a little mustache

give it maybe yeah send him to him to class with an easel. Or put a name tag on him that says, Hi, my name is Harry. Happy to help. A little mustache, a visor. Turn him into a little account. Drop him off at Target. Yeah, honestly, I say lean into the phone.

Why don't you get him a wallet? Put a little wallet in his little kick pants, too. With a little baby ID and a little baby credit card. Just show it like, be like this is an adult. Rose, lean into the bit on this one. And every day when either you or your husband drop him off, add another funny thing to his uniform. He will have no idea.

The photos will live forever in your family. Eventually, you'll get an email from the administration saying, we've decided that uniforms will start at three years old, and you get to write back. Sounds great. Thanks, everybody. Loving the school. I have a devilish double down, just in case you want it. At home, you're going to need a few of these fucking red shirts.

That's what we're saying. Now we have to buy dress down day clothes and uniform clothes. So how about you give one with a lot of stains and just one day send them in, like two weeks into this policy, send them in with a very stained red one

and just let them think that's kind of accruing under their watch, under their guide. I really get you because the more I think about this ask, the more it is actually kind of like making me agitated it is crazy it's just like i understand if they're like hey at

three we want kids in uniforms but this is just a ludicrous lunatic ask but i think what we said is right i mean you do what you can lean in i am really not opposed to the idea of you and your husband showing up there in the same outfits just to be like, we've full on taken indoctrination. But what are you going to do? I mean, at the end of the day, if it's good daycare, it's good daycare. There's bigger problems that you can run into if you try to leave, you know? Yeah, I think we're going to. I have some friends who maybe could give me like hand me down baby khakis but i think i'm just gonna buy the like baby pants that are khaki colored and

put a red t-shirt on him and call it a maybe the visor uh who knows but that sounds great will you send us a photo of your son please when he's in full uniform for the uh your little your little businessman they get school photos in a couple weeks. We will blur out all the faces. By the way, I know we're done here, but if I worked at a daycare center

and there were 10 babies that all dressed the same, I'd be like, you've made my job way worse. I don't know which fucking baby is which baby. How about their faces, Garrett? Have you ever seen the kids walking around like babies on a rope? Now they're going to be all out there in their little matching outfits.

Yes, and Jake, stop. Maybe you think you could identify babies from a lineup. To me, there's like three baby faces, and they're just replicated through the baby world. I'm not sitting there going like, hey, Steve, all right, there's like three baby faces and they're just replicated through the baby world. I'm not, I'm not sitting there going like, Hey Steve. All right. There's little Larry baby. Rose. Thank you for the call. We're here to help is hosted by Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds. The show is produced and
