Starting point is 00:01:20 We have a great episode Woman is funny. She I have known Annie for a long time, Annie Letterman, who is our guest, and she is just, she is the funniest. I felt a little nervous around her at the beginning. Because she has, she knows her kind of brand of funny and she brings it to the show well. I like her a lot. You can follow Annie on Instagram, Annie Letterman I'm sure is the social. She's always on tour.
Starting point is 00:01:45 She's got a great podcast called Annie Wood, but she's a killer. And you did Annie Wood. I did, I've done it twice. The last time I did it, as you'll hear, there was a consistent theme of my tooth being gone. I'm English, it happens, but she's great. And so listen, share it, tell people about the show, we

The new season, the second season is February 29th on Max. And are you a writer on it? Yes. And a couple voices. Not as many as we'd hope. Kind of a hoop steal. They're like, this guy canceled last minute and I'm like, let's go. Get my little digits on that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 So the name of the show is? Royal Crackers. World and America. Check out Royal Crackers and without Do it further ado Hello I'm one degree. I'm two degrees away from a property brother and I'm about to fucking lose my mind or Johnny bananas I get the ads for you being mind. I'm about to lose my mind. Or Johnny Bananas.

Starting point is 00:03:20 and you're on with Gareth Reynolds, show regular, and you're on with the great comedian Annie Letterman one of my dearest dearest friends. Oh true all this dearest. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we would go way back He kind of went no, what's all the words? Yeah. Yeah, we can't Thank you, but Can't call her can we get your name your age and where you're calling from? Sure, so I'm gonna go by Sally. I Sally But caller, can we get your name, your age, and where you're calling from? Sure. So I'm gonna go by Sally.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Hi Sally. I am 33 years old and I live in London. London? Where are you from though? I'm from Boston. Boston. Why'd you move to London from Boston? Honestly, great job opportunity
Starting point is 00:03:59 and you'll probably understand a little bit more but it was a good time in my life to make the move. All right, Sally. It's related to the problem. We're intrigued. Take over. Enough with the breadcrumbs. Where are we headed?
Starting point is 00:04:11 What's going on? Okay. So, a couple, I was once engaged. We broke it off a couple years ago and he owed me some money, so we opted for me to keep the ring and then I ended up called it Square. So I'm finally getting around to selling the ring and I reached out to loads of different jewelers and only one of them asked in the email exchange like why I was getting rid of it and for whatever reason I said it was because my fiance died.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Probably not the best move, but, you know, trying to get the pity price. And just needed to disclose that that is something that I said. OK, that's not going to change it. A jeweler is not going to go like, well, this was sixty five hundred, but he died. But this is like a nosy jeweler. What jeweler asks a follow-up question? May I see the certificate? This is like gossip central.
Starting point is 00:05:10 What kind of fucking jeweler is this? May I look the body down? Yes. OK, so all right, keep going. Yeah, in hindsight, I should have just ignored that question. But anyway, a week later, I go to the appointment at this jeweler. And who opens the door, but not what I thought would be like a very overweight, balding 68 year old, but like a hot 30 something
Starting point is 00:05:36 handsome man. A hot jeweler. But, okay. But? Why the but? It's such a wits. Well, he's a little gossipy. He might not be into you.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Oh, wow. You might not be into you. You might not be his type. It's early to make that joke. All we got right now is a hot guy who deals in diamonds. He loves jewels and he loves to gossip. I see who you're talking about. I see the direction you're going in. I'll tell you, no, he's for sure giving straight man vibes
Starting point is 00:06:06 Okay, and how can you say that? Sally Sally I'm on the couch. We're the mean ones. Yeah. Yeah, we find a victim on an island and we So Sally, what do you mean by hot guy vibes? Can you describe that to Annie night? The straight man vibes here is just like I could tell that we had some kind of straight Intuition is rarely wrong. He's English. It was a little flirty. Yeah, and you're a hot Boston, babe We know what's going in another country. So your accents really hot. Yeah, you've had a man want to pledge his life Yeah, you're a hottie. Yeah. Yeah, he passed away. Okay He died you were so hot. He died. So this this hot jewelry you walk in you guys are giving each other vibes
Starting point is 00:06:51 You're like fuck. He's good-looking. He's thinking fuck. She's good-looking then what happens? So I'm wondering How can I shoot my shot with this man with the deadline when our whole anything is based on a lie. How do you buy significant ones? Interesting. And so I just want to get get your thoughts for stuff. How to proceed. I will be just so you know, seeing him in approximately three to seven business days. Boy.
Starting point is 00:07:21 So the question is, how do I buy back the lie question before we do? I shoot my shot so Sally before we get into it. Thank you for having a clear question I like the setup a lot walk us through what happened when you went in there a little bit So when I got there, it's in one of those jewelers that's on you know It's not a ground floor like pawn shop kind of place. It's like a custom jewelry. Yeah, yeah Like pawn shop kind of place. It's like a custom jewelry. Yeah, yeah Yeah, it was one of the legit places and You know, I just got there open the door and there's this like
Starting point is 00:07:53 cute Harry Potter who is Welcoming me to the room. You lost it Sally you lost Annie. Annie. Why why why why'd you get? Harry jeweler. I what do you think, Annie? I'm out. And for this reason, I'm out. Okay. I'm out. I'm sorry. I don't want her. I don't want you with him. But this isn't a show where we go out. He's a thief? He's a thief and he's a nerd. He's a thief and he's a nerd. And Annie believes him to be gay, to be quite frank with you. He's a gay thief, nerd, he's not for you. But just the premise of this show is
Starting point is 00:08:28 if not, callers come in and we say we're out. You don't pass. It's not like Chatroulette. So Annie, we're in. You're in. So even if he's not your type, we've got to figure out how she shoots. But also I'm a little surprised. What is so gross about...
Starting point is 00:08:44 Does he have like a scar on his face? I'm like what is he? Does he, he seems like a ninja? I don't understand. He's like that, he's probably like, you know, 6'2", brunette, handsome, nice smile. Nothing to do with Harry Potter. And his name is Harry. Nice smile. Oh, his name's Harry.
Starting point is 00:08:52 His name's Harry. So the only part of the Harry Potter is that his name is Harry? Okay. Harry Potter's also a child. I don't want to be like accusing him of anything. He was a child. Harry Potter is a child. I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is a child. Harry Potter is that his name is Harry? Harry Potter's also a child. I don't want to be like accusing him of anything. Harry Potter is a child. I agree with this actually, this take. It's a little boy magician. It's a little boy, it's a tiny magician boy.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Oh stop. There's a lot, yeah I agree actually. You're allowed to find, I think I speak for the show when I say you're allowed to find a little boy magician attractive. Speaking of Annie, the engineers club back there, that little engineer is Gareth Reynolds in the blue. Oh, is that true? Were you a little model? That was before I was M.P.I.C.
Starting point is 00:09:31 You had to save him out of teeth and that. They came out a lot harder. Okay, so you're gonna see this guy again. Now is your plan basically like at this rendezvous, you're gonna to want to ask him out or get some contact or do a follow up to some extent? I feel like we're living for the plot right now, right? So like I should probably ask him out when I see him and I'm like, thanks for the like, you know, thanks for the money for the cash.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Did you tell him how long ago? There's a big reaction though. Why? Of course there is. But I don't get what. What's the thought? What do you hate about this? Way is a little desperate.
Starting point is 00:10:10 What do you think? No, I want I want your advice. Like, give it to me straight. What should I do? Why did you break up with your fiance? Yeah. Oh, that's like a whole. He was like Slytherin. That's probably it.
Starting point is 00:10:22 It was sad. Yeah. Yeah. There was some. There was some there was some mental health issues involved oh girl not yours right that will just be even better if it was not yours no not mine oh good girl all right we've got any you have self-respect this kind of say something this is a hot take yeah you don't it's not your job to take care of someone else's mental health so the minute I hear the diagnosis good day good luck well that's the minute I hear the diagnosis good day. Good luck Well, that's the case. I quit the podcast. Oh Jesus Christ. I don't change
Starting point is 00:10:49 But listen, but listen, so you have self-confidence, okay? Yeah, not to be rude to the X but you have self-confidence So and I'm not saying asking a guy out is wrong But either as a guy I think it's nice if a girl walked up to me and I was a jeweler and she go I go toy here's 12 5 and she goes Thanks for the money. Now. Give me your number I'll go you gotta be fucking kidding me three three four five. What's yours? Yes, you're good with numbers What's yours is a fucking eye or first love so Sally came in hot for me and said here's what I'm thinking I'm thinking I get the money. asked this guy out honestly my instinct on that
Starting point is 00:11:29 Was we're going in the right direction you went like this ah desperate well I just feel like okay if he's giving her vibes why not go in and like drop some hands, but I'll tell you why because if it's the place of your business and She said that her fucking fiance dead, and I'm going here's 12-5 if I hit on you I'm putting you in a bad spot, right? She's a big but also you just came in there to get jewelry You didn't want some fucking creepo Harry Potter. Yeah Okay Cuz if you want listen if you want to be in a relationship with the guy if you want to bang this guy
Starting point is 00:11:54 You go in you hit on me do whatever you want. So if she wants to bang what does she do? You go in you say I think there's a family jewels joke in here. There's some sort of line about let me see it's okay your balls your balls yeah that's a good I love that one I know but I don't know let me see your balls as a girl okay I used to have a card when I first started comedy that said I think you're hot but most I just want you to follow me on Twitter and then I would have my Twitter thing and I would like give it to people and then if I actually thought they're hot I was like you don't need to follow me on Twitter and then I would have my Twitter thing and I would like give it to people and Then if I actually thought they're hot I was like you don't need to follow me on Twitter So I always had like you had a bit to start it moves
Starting point is 00:12:29 What's good about that is that it's kind of like you set yourself up with a little bit of a low Joe Yeah, so why not why not this why not why not say why not plant the seed when you're in there with Harry and just be Like hey, you know, I don't Like is that Harry Winston is it it like, oh, no. Is it Harry Winston? Like a huge jeweler? Is he? I don't know. I don't know. Look at Jake and I. You think we have any idea?
Starting point is 00:12:54 That is a brand. But to be honest, I think he might. Sadly, I'm so much closer to Gareth. Yeah. Don't try to divide us. Jake is a piece of shit. Just no, nothing. Just trans, same clothes every day. So why not say to him, why not throw out there the fiance died a long time ago?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Or if you're trying to, if you wanna date this guy, if you're like, I think this is like a family business, this guy's cool, he's like, this is gonna be. I wanna be in this thing. Then you have to go in and you have to be so hilarious about how you lied about this husband.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Okay, so Sally, question for you. You have to go hard in there with the truth and be funny about it. Yeah. So it's cleared out now, because if you actually want to date him, you can't... What are you going to later be like, I lied? Sally, what are you looking for? Are you looking for a date and seeing what happens, or are you seeing a future with this guy? Or are you just looking for a little bit of fun? Where are you at?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Are you trying to get your ring sized? I think a date and see what happens. Okay, so so I don't think you talk about the dead fiance I don't think you do either. You know what? Yeah, I would do a follow-up I would I would try to have a charmed experience while you're in there with him get a little bent Ah, they say on Love Island, then I would email follow-up and ask him out that way lower stakes Sort of to your point of like handing a card. It's not like as direct It's a way to sort of see if there's a vibe without having So I liked Annie's card right so I think you're hot following me on Twitter
Starting point is 00:14:14 And then if you like him then you say don't follow me on Twitter But I still think you're hot just slide your number or we have a great fucking starting line from Garf What was that is you're really good with numbers. I think this is a fair deal. And he'll go, that is a pretty and he'll go, I like to keep it fair. And then he'll go, she goes, so with that in mind, what is yours? Yeah, he goes, what is mine? What? Your number. And then she goes, in terms of what?
Starting point is 00:14:38 And he goes, you could say, Harry, I'm trying to tell you here. I want to take you out. I'm trying to tell you. Thirty four double D. Sally thoughts. All right. Well, I already have his tell you here. I want to take you out. I'm trying to tell you 34 double D. Sally thoughts. All right. Well, I already have his number because in the UK, everyone uses what's apps for everything. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:53 So we've already been messaging on what that is the answer. Okay. Then you get your money, you send a post pic, you're done. I don't think that's a spread. Just spread it out. And then if he writes back Who's this didn't new phone Let me a new phone has there been any like flirting going back and forth on whatsapp at all or no?
Starting point is 00:15:19 No, it's been mostly like hey, will you like this person is interesting? Well, here's what I would maybe do after you go get your cash, I would text them on WhatsApp and say, hey, thanks again. When I'm in the area next time, where's a good place to get a drink? And he'll go, oh, I like going to this place after work. I say if you're gonna do it, have the guts to do it in fucking person. All right, that's the other option. Yes, if you're gonna do it, have the guts to.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Now, you're making a bold move. She's a liar, okay. Go ahead. She is a liar. We love you, Sally, but you have lied to this man. So it's like at this point but you have lied to this man. So it's like at this point I have a plan and it's fine. It'll be fine unless you end up marrying him or something It's gonna be rough later. It could be funny in bed to say I think I know too. I would do a reveal I would do I would do a reveal. I would do a reveal. I would do a reveal later
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah, but later but right now get we're just worried about getting into the cast Yes, exactly get into the pyramid After sex one night you go like I didn't expect this to be serious. Can I tell you something funny? Yeah, now the truth is he might not laugh. Yes, but at least you've got past the finish line at this point And so I would say Sally We're all kind of near the same thing. You can go to WhatsApp, you can say, hey, you wanna get dinner, you wanna do this. You made the big lie, right?
Starting point is 00:16:30 You want this guy, you went to his place of work, you're gonna see him in five to seven days. Have the fucking guts to look him in the eyes and say, I wanna take you out my treat, and guess what? With the 12.5 you got me, you picked the fucking restaurant. And then you could say, and I'm gonna take you out my treat and guess what? With the 12.5 you got me, you picked the fucking restaurant. And then you could say, and I'm gonna tell you why I wanna spend this money, because I lied, my fiance's not dead,
Starting point is 00:16:52 we just broke up and I wasn't supposed to have this money, so I would love to spend some of it on your fine ass and I'm ready to spoil you. Men don't get to hear that. I would say, I mean that's a nightmare, but I would say, then you're just, you're a sugared mama to a guy who owns a jewelry store, a rich man.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Okay, what would you take? You just put yourself in a position where you're now taking care of an incredibly wealthy man. That's pretty good for Harry. By the way, you're right. And would you put it that way, I regret my man. I love saying it. I thought I was gonna win.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Gareth was in. No, I wasn't. And when you put it that way I regret my Okay, so I Say you go to him you look him straight in the eye wear something so hot and slutty I got through what it looks like what walk us through with the what she's wearing. Well, what's your style? What's a sexy look? Yeah, what's like your sluttiest if you're gonna go do a dress to impress. What are you wearing? Oh, I mean if I'm To a jeweler probably not a crop top but like to the club a crop top for sure I know where the crop top to the jewel You know would want to play those up. Tell me you're looking for a belly button ring. You got a diamond I wear crop tops all sizes all times
Starting point is 00:18:03 I wear crop tops all sizes all times all right Fast you might have hit something when you were talking about flirting and having him ask You're doing the purchase, right? And then you say Harry I'm looking for something else. I don't know if you have anything in mind and he goes what and you go I'm looking for a piercing for here. Yeah, you lift up your stomach Yeah, and then go what's better the top of the bottom and he goes like well They most I don't know but it's mostly on the top and then go, what's better? The top or the bottom? And he goes like, well, they most, I don't know, but it's mostly on the top and then go feel it. See if the skin's right.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Then if he reaches over or a belly button, if he reaches over and goes like, oh, for right here, I have a, he's going to feel, there's going to be a spark. There's well, or if he goes like, I don't know, that's not what we do to sell diamonds, but you're now saying to him, but it's not bad. You're saying I'm entering the world. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:44 You know, way to make an offer to see without his Yeah, I want to up the ante. Let's go nipple up the ante Oh nipple ring up the ante special title head out. Make sure the nips are shaved Let him find that out to let him find out about the nipple hair and the lie about the dead husband All right, go ahead. Okay. I was thinking maybe you go like this You go to get killed two birds with one stone, like get him nice and horny for you and also tell him the truth. Go, I want to come, I want to tell you more about how my ex-fiance died and just look him straight in the eye and go,
Starting point is 00:19:17 I fucked him to death and then just walk out and see if he wants to have you. I'll tell you what, he's not gonna follow you. I don't think he will. I think- He's gonna be a sound of a lock going. I think less is more. What I would do is I would ignore the fiance death part. I would just try to get a date on the books, and then I would, what Jake says- And how do you get a date on the books?
Starting point is 00:19:34 You go like this, you go, oh, that's great. Boys, I really appreciate all your help, but that's, it was awesome. I'm probably gonna go get a drink around here later on tonight Is there somewhere around here to do that and he'll go? You've got to go to the clock and Duncan's and then you go. Oh, that's great Oh, the only problem is I don't have anyone to do it with would you want to join me and see what he says?
Starting point is 00:19:56 That's right. That's so desperate. Okay. I have to ask you guys. I've got down so many times Okay, but what but it's not you're a man, that's your job to be shot down. Barely. Listen, I'm not trying to be like gender norms or whatever, but like, okay, so what has a woman hit on you, come to you and set a line that has gotten you to ask her out on a date? I don't know if there's a direct line, but you don't have to, that to me, all right.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Okay, real quick, then we gotta go. What would your, you give me one pitch on what you would say? Seriously? What would you say? I've given you my I had my I had my liners to do I used to be really yeah Yeah, you would do the I would be like, oh I had I had a I was in line at a coffee shop once and there was This like really tall Australian guy. I didn't know he's Australian I just like I was like you're so hot and he was like you're hot and then it was like Okay, so Like I would do that. I mean, it's not bad. I wasn't looking for like a relationship in that
Starting point is 00:20:51 But so Sally here's where we're kind of at you could do the vibe where you say Gareth first line Which I still really like I do you know, you're really good with numbers I would love yours and then if he goes like I already gave you my whatsapp you go like I'm in a danger zone now So that is problem. Right right he already has that is problematic And he said something that I think is really interesting, but it's bold and you need guts to do it Show up in a fucking crop top be talking to him and talk about how you might want a piercing She has guts she has guts she lies she lies But you talk about how you you don't know, but you might use this money for Pearson.
Starting point is 00:21:26 You say your belly button. So it's a look and you go like, or I might go crazy and get a nipple one. So he has to then go like a nipple one would be great. Just pull that titty out. And if you pull the titty out, you're in a whole new world. You could also do Gareth's move, which feels a little sad to me. And that is later tonight, I'm getting a drink. Do you want to get one with me?
Starting point is 00:21:45 That's possible. You could do my move, which I was confident until Annie hated it. And that is I got some money and I wanna spoil you on it. Let me take you out to dinner, big boy. But then she's the one in charge. And then at dinner you could also say, I was just kidding.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I was lying. My fiance's not dead and I'm not paying for this. That's crazy. Both of these things are crazy. They're equally as crazy that you thought I was gonna, my fiance's not dead, and I'm not paying for this. That's crazy. Both of these things are crazy. They're equally as crazy that you thought I was going to pay for this. So Sally, where are you at and what are you going to do? What are you thinking? I will say on this one, we've given you some pretty bad advice.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. And I would hold the reveal. That would be my main advice. Yeah, hold the reveal for sure. But Sally, where are we at here? You know what? I do have pretty good abs. So I think I'm going to lean into the crop top joke.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Let's do it. Yeah. Right. Because I'll tell you what, if you don't have the guts to ask him out, you're in the crop top and it's flirty, then later you text him on the WhatsApp and you go, thanks again. Really great meeting you. And that's because he is professionally probably not allowed to hit on you or maybe he can't. But it's like, but you want you still want it to be his move. Because he is professionally probably not allowed to hit on you or maybe yeah, right But it's like but you want you still want it to be his move
Starting point is 00:22:48 So go in really hot you can you could also after that rendezvous text something along the lines of like Hopefully another fiancee dies so I can come back and sell you another ring great Danger Said he's dead to me. Sally, how about this? That's actually really funny. I said he was dead to me. I just want to clear something up because I feel a little bit bad.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I did mean dead to me, but he's for sure. He did have a schizophrenic break, so the man I knew before died. Too real? Your hair is not going like, oh yeah, boner. Sally, why don't you do this? If you're going to do whatsapp follow-up? Will you send us a screenshot and just let us know what happens? I think he just wants to save your cell and you send a post back. It will be so fun
Starting point is 00:23:32 It's great for the show, but it's terrible. So we gotta go.

Starting point is 00:26:44 And I go, no, you don't get a raise for losing a tooth. But it made me think of, I want to go back to this idea and you have jobs, the jobs lead to this money. Yes. And so I like Greenlight. She's such a... That is your daughter. I mean, 100% being able to be like, I deserve a raise.

Can you? She's like, I've been kidnapped.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Help. Oh my God. My problem is- Do you have anything weird in the box we could talk about? We're way better at stuff like that. Maybe sit on your knees. Do not sit on your knees. Can we get your name, your age, and where you're calling from roughly, please?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah, I'm Heather calling from Colorado and I'm 30. Hi Heather. Where in Colorado? Near Denver. Sure. That's not necessarily a location. Come see me February 16th and 17th or 17th. Well that reveals the secret guest.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You've got Jake, you've got Gareth and you've got one of the greatest comedians performing today who will be in your area, Denver. That's right, 16th and 17th. Annie Letterman is joining us. Thank you, Annie. Heather. Here we go. Hello.
Starting point is 00:28:59 All right, Heather, what's going on? What can we help you with? All right, so my mom is a wonderful grandma to my 10-month-old and she gets on the floor and plays with him and it's lovely except for one thing, which is that she likes to play those bouncing game songs. Instead of putting the baby on her knees like most of us would, she puts the baby on her hips and thrusts upward while singing the song of thrusts upward. Oh, God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Oh, God. I've seen this from older moms and older grandmas. I've seen this. It's not appropriate. It's not the only one that makes me feel better. It's not okay. Heather, I'm 100% with you. It is not appropriate.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It weirds out everybody. And they feel like they're in this asexual galaxy. But you're just saying like, honey, the rest of us are still sexual and it's disgusting. This is a true gilf. This is a true gilf. No, it's sadly, it's the opposite, but it's gilf moves for a non-gilf. It's a gilf. I'm assuming your mom kind of has some moves, right? She must. Yeah, mom's like a good thruster. All you gotta do is lift the hip up and down and it's moves. So so Heather basically your mother instead of using her normal part of her body to bounce your child is making it a sort of a humping motion. This is
Starting point is 00:30:16 trouble Heather. Yeah. And you got to talk her out of this. Yeah I'm having a hard time. Yeah we I don't want to call it humping but it is. It is We need to know we need to look this problem in the eye and call it what it is You've got a mother who's having her grandchild. I mean no no, it's different Heather So you're talking about she puts the baby above her like on her hips But above the crotch and the kid is cubus, but the yeah, no idea what's going on They're in a seat, but I've been eating this mound the the kid is sitting on the Venus lower stomach right here Okay, and so the kids look in this way so for the kid lovely. Well, what are you gonna reverse cowboy? No, but here's the problem Heather. It's not that you're putting the kid in a bad spot
Starting point is 00:31:00 You know putting the others in the room. Yes, right. I just see it doesn't grandma Saddle we're fine The problem is is if your tether your husband and you're watching TV and grandma's got the kid and you're I'm going like this. Yeah Nana What if it's at least she's not like, you know, on top. True, it could be a lot worse, obviously. So these seem to be other pitches, not...
Starting point is 00:31:30 Maybe it's bouncing her. Maybe that's the move. Maybe you suggest in that direction and go, would you mind mounting more? I think you guys are minds in the gutter and you should be more worried about your mom. As Gareth knows, there's hip issues with mothers. That's right. So here's one way to fix the problem is you have your husband put the grandma on there and say do you feel comfortable with this? And he thrust her on she goes I didn't like that and he goes I doubt my son does either
Starting point is 00:31:55 But you're doing it to a one-year-old you gotta cool it I got it. I got it. I got it What if she's on top of your husband and she goes I love it, too I got a like as someone who's I'm engaged to a younger man and I like that. Cause you're really just 11 years. Got a creating girl creating a, uh, a fetish that is really good for future older women that it also, that is a slippery slope too, but you could pitch it like that.
Starting point is 00:32:21 I mean, just go up to him and just be like, we don't want him to love gilts. Come on. We want her to be be but I have kids. How about this? How about if next time your mother is over? Your husband does the exact same thing and he fakes an injury and then you parlay the fake injury Into gosh his hip is really messed up. I wouldn't do that anymore. And he jump in what if we say I have one of my favorite comedians mothers just had this crazy hip problem and Not bad ears and we go I'm actually worried about I would pay so much money to see Pam do this hip thrust
Starting point is 00:32:53 Jesus Christ you could just take the rocker She just take the rocket money and put it right into she's in james account that felt like a sucker punch I was like listening like all right where we go and then it was like oh you Honestly, I felt bad because your eyes were they were going I was mostly he looks at me like I was like there is a lesson And what my mother just went through not that one So hold on there is something I think really good here Heather and we might crack this early You can't have your husband do it to her you can't say ma it looks like you're fucking the air and it's it's inappropriate You're gonna put grandma in a really tough spot. She's in heaven right now. She thinks she's doing
Starting point is 00:33:33 Riding away. Yeah, she's just a little happy humper and she's as happy as a grinder. Yeah, she's grinding god bless her But I think where we're going on this is the idea of hey mom, be careful and she'll go like, oh, I'm fine and go no I saw with that motion you gotta do your knee because yeah women's hips are going out from and she'll go Oh and you go mom. I forbid it because she starts like twerking with the baby Is that better? But on the bottom I forbid it because I don't want you getting hurt Is that better but you know bottom I forbid it because I don't want you getting hurt. I think that my I Think that come on that might be your best play You cannot tell her what everyone's thinking even though grandma's get real mad when you tell them they can't do so Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:14 Grandma's also like when you show because I care about you so much right because your how cuz guess what grandma's afraid of her health I agree. You know what her biggest joy is Putting that little boy on her stomach and hump in the air. I thought you were saying interrupting their daughters while they're talking. Oh, that's just my mom. Talking about themselves when they're. Oh, speaking of my mom, I got a new thing for this one. She said, my mom doesn't like our podcast anymore.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Why? Tell her why. You and the other guy are getting too wild. It's better when the guests talk. See how wild we're getting. She goes, you're getting wild. Stop talking. But she goes, you know, I called her the other day and she too wild. It's better when the guests talk. See, that's like how wild we're getting. She goes, you're getting wild, but she goes, you know, I called her the other day and she goes, you know, I tried listening again and I just fell asleep.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Wow. Moms are so, but that's why you're still here. Yeah, that actually is so true. My mom, my mom will- Jake has that in him always. Will not give me any, it's like, my mom's a really good artist. I'm an artist through her. I'll draw like something and everyone in my family will be any, it's like my mom's a really good artist, I'm an artist through her. I'll draw like something and everyone in my family will be like, this is
Starting point is 00:35:08 like amazing. She'll say, my mom go, hmm. You just say I was drawing my hand. She goes, I just don't like hands. You don't like hands? I would make it look and then she would reject it and then I would start like then all of a sudden I'm putting more shadow. It's like the hands coming off the page. And then my goes My sister-in-law's like Annie. This is like crazy mom goes. I just my sister goes it looks exactly like a hand my mom goes I'm just not into like photorealism That shit does drive you crazy or it makes you work harder. It makes me work harder You know what? I think when we're doing I was texting him this morning We got it not the same old bits my mom's gonna fall asleep listening to this one. Yeah got it i can't believe she's now falling asleep we're too wild and now we've over corrected
Starting point is 00:35:49 it's i gotta tell you hard to please the woman yes i do have to give you guys some compliments random people in my life my sister-in-law's sister is like as they went out to eat she goes my sister always tell me about her new favorite podcast and it's your guys podcast. Is that true? It would be great if it wasn't. That wasn't the end of the story. I thought she's a killer. I'm like, mom's going to get me here. Love's tiger belly. That's right. So Heather, I think we've all kind of got to something pretty clean on this one and that is you have to lean into the idea that she could get hurt. Go ahead. Well, one of two options.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Do you tell her you're worried about her getting injured the route of you've seen it? Or do you have your husband or you have your husband fake an injury? I think the fake in it, there's a lot of steps and then she could go like, well, I do the hip thing. I don't do it like that. Fucking creepo. I think you lean in and you say, Mom, I love you, but I love you too much to allow this to happen You got to do it on the knee and she'll go now. It's fine. You got mom. I'm putting my foot down or you just go mom
Starting point is 00:36:51 It's like kind of looks gross Also an option because she'll be also an option We'll be shame, but she'll net she'll never do it again another option I'll make a video that you can show her where I'm talking about how there's skyrocketing numbers of hips getting popped out of sockets from grandmothers doing or even grosser Gareth will make a video. Yeah, I'll do it. You want to see what you look like mom? I'll do it try humping a child that is an option too. So that's great because there is a child in the room
Starting point is 00:37:20 So it's me. It's just a picture of her So Heather in closing, what do you think you're going to do here? How are we going to stop mom from doing this? Yeah. She is very nervous about hurting herself. She's constantly got something going on. So I think, I think that's the move. And I think if she gives me pushback, which she might, I think then I just have to say, it's gross while I'm forbidding it. Cause it's a little weird and that give her a chance to take the bait And if she doesn't take it we got like that Can you do us a favor before you end this put pony on when she does it next time and film it?
Starting point is 00:37:54 I would like you to film it on your phone and send it to us and we'll blur your mom's face out Please so we can play during the ad And maybe play that. What's the song? Well, I was pitching Pony from Magic Mike. But you remember the other song? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:11 What's the other one? I can't remember what it's called. The poke song, you know, they're like dancing too close. So could you do us a favor? Could you film it and then we'll play it during this. We'll take a break and we'll put a song, a sexy song. Is that OK? And here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:38:24 It'll go viral. She'll be humiliated. She'll never do it again. No, no, no. We'll blow a break and we'll put a song sexy song is that okay? Humiliated she'll never do it again. No What we're trying to do is just keep Jake's fucking mother a lot like awake and listening to this wake up The show's still going. I love you. I love you mom. Don't listen. I know it's all right mom. You know, it's all right Well Heather keep us posted we would love a video but either way and Annie good Okay, I will see her for a little while so I don't know if I'll be able to get it. You can do it Work so you can do it much bigger you can do it Yeah, wait, it'll hurt keep fattening the kid up for this. Have an obese, Maury child.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Lots of pudding. I have not seen just a big old kid in a while. Really threaten the hips. You gotta change your algorithm on Instagram. My algorithm sucks. It's just death. It's like, you know the things where it's like, it'll be like a picture of people, like four people,

Starting point is 00:42:00 do try to eat healthy. I try to consistently get the nutrition needed. It's very difficult when you're working in environments that basically run on mozzarella sticks and fries. So, I started bringing AG1 on the road with me. Once I started doing that, I started drinking one of those every morning. I just felt better, felt more in line with the nutrition I wanted. I had better energy.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I could focus, all those things. What's nice about it is you can guarantee you get all your nutrients with one drink that as a guy who likes taste, it tastes good. It's not a disgusting formula because if it was, I wouldn't do it. Yeah, it's really actually brought the color green back as far as drinks go.
Starting point is 00:42:41 So AG1 has been around since 2010. They led the future of foundational nutrition, continuously refining their formula to create a smarter, better way to elevate your basic health line. Jake, you know me, I'm a big probiotic guy. I'm a prebiotic guy. We've heard you a lot. It's the taste great, less filling. Yeah, this is the bear's packers battle. And I'm not backing down. I'm probably I'm a priest. I support your pre
Starting point is 00:43:08 Hey, we can both agree that we're magnesium guys. We're mag heads. We've always said that about ourselves We call each other mag heads, but I will say that I do recommend it to anybody in my life because it's easy You can get it in powder You can get it in powder. You can, you know, it's an easy way to get everything that you need in terms of your nutrients. And as we age, Garf Man, it is important. So if there's one product I recommend to elevate your health, it's AG1.
Starting point is 00:43:37 That's right. And that's why I'm excited and why I'm excited to welcome them as a partner for our show. We love them. We love them, Jake. Ha ha. I drink about five a day. Sometimes it's all I drink.

Starting point is 00:48:30 Four hours. I'm like, We are at hour 315 and Garfield's going like this. So then when I moved to Milwaukee, fuck off. Ten minutes of silence. My stockbroker character's really getting old. But people are like,
Starting point is 00:48:41 yeah, yeah dude, stop. Like pull out another tooth, please. Yeah, that'd be great. I'm good at reading the room or the PJ. I know. I know. I know people are done with me. But okay, I don't think there's the same rules on it because you're trapped. There's no. Well, this well, what happened here was so he shows up a little ahead. He's not even a little late. It's like they're they're going to get the secret board on like basically there's you know, they're going to get the secret board on. Like basically, there's, you know, we're going to get privately driven to the commercial airlines.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It's great. But I'm like, they're probably getting ready to take us on through the private TSA in about 20, 25 minutes, 20 minutes. I show up right around them. They've been there for a while. But you know, go ahead. No, the truth is, this sounds crazy. I had a little anxiety. So I was like a little like, oh man, I so I had I Just cannot get out of my own way with honesty
Starting point is 00:49:29 so I'm like I parked my car at like a public parking lot dealio and And I'm sitting there and I stopped by CVS before because I wanted to grease the wheels before we grease the have a little I wanted to have a little alcohol in the car that I parked. Oh, this is a darker tail than I thought So I got- This was to car drink? Yes, before meeting up with the drinking at the little fake airport. That was a lot of drinking.
Starting point is 00:49:50 That was a lot of drinking. No, two little mini bottles of red wine and a can of Pringles was what I thought. Yum. And then things are good. Truly, truly. Things are good. If you want to be drunk, why absorb it with the Pringles?
Starting point is 00:50:01 Cause he's also wants to enjoy it. Because when I drink I become an animal. I'm a bad, I'm bad. And okay, so I'm like, all right, so I had those and then my buddy was also going on the road with Bert, it's like, hey, we're gonna be leaving soon. So I'm like, oh shit. So there was like a little level of like, I gotta hustle.
Starting point is 00:50:15 So I got a lift from the shuttle to the private little airport thing and now you can pick up with what you've heard. Okay, so they're like, okay, let's go. Like, let's get on, let's get to this flight. Jake's gonna murder me for this. So they get in the car, they get on the flight. How long until, when do you realize?
Starting point is 00:50:32 I realized before we were driven to the plane. But you're already late. You're in jeopardy of missing the flight at this point. The stakes were not even that high, but the guy drops me off, the lift driver drops me off. I go in there, we're hanging out, we're having a drink. Bert is the most gracious. He's the best. Take headphones, take whatever the fuck you want from this little room.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I'm like, okay, so I'm loading up on stuff. Turns out you were very lucky he was gracious like that. Very lucky for the supply run before the flight. So then we go through, like I said, a private TSA. Could not be easier. if I were to be sneaking knives on plane, this is where you wanna do it. You were just sneaking alcohol? Oh, inside my body.
Starting point is 00:51:11 And then we get to the car that's gonna drive us to the plane, and I am like, oh, I left my bag at the TSA thing, so we have a liaison, so I say to the liaison, I go, hey, I left my bag in the little fucking x-ray thing. She goes, okay. She goes in there. I see her looking frantically and I'm going it must be in the room. We were in I don't even think I brought it through the TSA
Starting point is 00:51:31 She's kind of like that and as she's doing all this I'm thinking Did I get my bag out of the lift that drove me here? Hmm, and I'm about to go on the road with Bert for four days five days and I'm like, I don't think I did So I go clothes and late no clothes first such a problem such a problem I rode with Bert for four days, five days, and I'm like, I don't think I did. Oh, Garf. So I go- No clothes and late? No clothes, first day of school. Such a problem, such a problem. Just coming in, full problem.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And it's like- He was already nervous. He was already nervous. I already have anxiety. This is younger brother on tour where you're like, now we gotta fucking clean up his ass? It's bad. And so I'm like, I have to say, I think I left it in the lift.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Now there is no time. You must have been actually anxious because it will actually know you every time. There's always a flight story where you forgot something big. Well, they've been stuck in other countries. Oh, I remember that passport. I was about to say, Jake, what are you talking about? The two times I lost my passport in the last three months. All right. We got to take this.
Starting point is 00:52:21 OK, so anyway, I end up having to buy everything on the road and I was a total nightmare. Annie, welcome to the podcast. They bought him stuff, they bought him stuff.
