Hello doll heads and dollop listeners.
This is Gareth.
Listen, I have a new podcast called Next We Have that you can listen to or watch on YouTube.
It's called Next We Have because it's full of segments.
It's quick segments.
We're leaning into the short attention span, and that's what you're about to hear.
You're going to hear a lot of people you've maybe heard about on
our shows or other things, but if you could give it a listen, I would appreciate it.
And, you know, like it, subscribe it, all that, all that stuff.
It's very different from the dollop.
So keep listening to the dollop, obviously.
But this is next, we have
a short attention span romp with just myself, Gareth, not Gary.
Enjoy.
So many segments, thank the Lord above.
Thank the Lord above.
Blessed are again.
Next, we have.
I don't swats an egg a family tree.
One-star sex toy reviewee.
Feedback, salesman, subway letters.
Gareth Tramps to fight a live gorilla, yeah.
So drop the omelet, what's that smell?
Car stuck in a field or Andrew Garfield.
Humped up confessions, fight your own daddy.
So many segments next week.
All right, and welcome to Next We Have.
This is the first episode.
I have a couple podcasts.
My first one was the dollop, my OG.
I have We're Here to Help, a call and advice show.
And then I think the thinking behind what this is is just purely a show that tries to make people laugh.
And we have a lot of segments.
We plan on really
trying to keep your attention.
I should point out, my name is Gareth Reynolds.
Kevin Bartelt is the producer.
Alex Burns is the other producer.
So this is the first episode.
This is the worst part of the show by far,
because probably by now you're listening to this and you're like, why is this guy talking about how great this show will be?
Just get to the show.
But I've kind of doubled down now a little bit by making it longer and I kind of want to earn back what I may have squandered, which is just kind of, I'm bragging about how great this show will be and how you're never going to get bored.
And I'm the guy saying this and I'm a little yawny.
So ignore this part.
It's all going to be better than this part.
I'm telling you, we've recorded a ton of stuff.
And why this is the first thing, I don't know.
We need to have an intro to it, and it should be shortened.
But here I am kind of making it longer by apologizing.
And the smart thing to do would be to get to a segment, which we're going to do right now.
So we brought in a guest, Lisa Gilroy.
who is awesome.
I'm happy to have known her before she becomes super famous because that's going to happen.
But basically, we had this idea to like, you know, I've been wronged by so many companies, and I write reviews, and I call them, and it never does anything.
So, the idea here was: if someone has been wronged by a company,
we will help you write a scathing review, something that'll get on their radar, something that'll get you attention.
So, Lisa and I sit down to help a desperate caller in need of a revenge review.
And I'll be honest, I don't know if it helped.
It feels like it was a little chaotic, but it was a hell of a blast to go through.
So here you go.
Hello.
Hi there.
And not going to lie, when you were muted, we heard you laughing, and then Lisa pointed out that you were coughing, and that I just always think women are laughing at my jokes.
So we've never never done this segment before, to be totally honest with you.
You're on with Lisa Gilroy,
who's fantastic.
And what we're going to do is we're going to help write a scathing review for a company or a business that has wronged you.
Yes.
Okay.
What is your name?
Can I ask you that?
My name is Hannah.
Okay, Hannah.
Where are you from, Hannah?
Where are you living?
Montana.
I'm from California, but I'm calling you from Spain.
Oh, from space?
Whoa, Joseph Joe.
NASA has left me, and I want to write a review.
I'm calling from Spain.
Oh, that's awesome.
Okay, so you're in Spain.
And did the business...
I don't know if we're allowed to comment on a Spanish business.
Is this an American business that wronged you?
Oh, yes, this is an American business.
All right.
Well, why don't you...
Wait, why would you not be allowed to comment on a Spanish business?
Maritime law stuff.
I can't get into it.
It's international.
Right, right.
We're not allowed to.
Plus, my Spanish is.
No bueno.
Okay, Hannah.
So
what happened?
Who wronged you and what happened?
Okay, so major hotel chain.
I don't know if I can say their name.
They wronged me.
Who are they?
We'll bleep it out.
Holiday in Express.
Holiday in Express.
You have to be able to talk about it because the Express of it all, right?
You get to like whiz in and whiz out as fast as you can.
I was at a Holiday in Express and someone, when I was in my room about to take a shower, opened my door with a a key that they were given.
Oh my God, that's happened to me before when I was sleeping.
Just crazy.
But I always put that right on the.
Yeah, I didn't.
I was very much, I was like, what's going on?
And then the guy was like, sorry.
And he had a saxophone.
What?
Yes.
He had a saxophone and I was just like, what the fuck is about to happen?
All right.
Anyway, Hannah, you're in space.
So,
okay, so what happened?
Okay, so last summer, I was moving to Washington to work at a summer camp.
My dad decided to come with me and drive from California up to Washington.
We stopped to stay in Oregon to kind of break up the drive.
The hotel we stayed at first night was fine.
In the morning is where we ran into the issue.
He woke up before me.
He went down to the lobby to get that continental breakfast.
I went down after him.
His dad's due.
Yeah, his dad's as dad's law is.
I went after him.
I got in the elevator.
You know, I pushed the button for the first floor.
I'm looking at my phone.
A minute passes and I'm like, oh, weird.
The elevator hasn't gone anywhere.
Even though I pressed the button for the first floor and I'm on the third.
And so I pressed the first one.
Did you press it for the first or did you press it for the lobby, Hannah?
I just have to ask a clarifying question.
Because your complaint about the holiday in is that the first floor took you to...
Okay, okay.
You pressed for the lobby.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Yeah, it's an important distinction.
Very lawyerly.
Okay.
Okay, so I push the button, nothing happens.
I push it again, nothing happens.
And then I'm like, okay, I can walk down the stairs.
I push the button to open the door.
No.
The doors won't open either.
Is that how you ended up in space?
My major grievance is getting stuck in the Holiday and Express elevator.
How long were you stuck in there for?
I was in there for about 25 minutes.
Hear me up.
It doesn't sound like that long.
No, it does.
That's crazy.
You'll be in there.
It feels like so long.
That's crazy.
And so did you press the emergency alert button in there that I've always wanted to press?
Yeah.
Well, I actually, because my dad was on the lobby and I didn't want to call the fire department right away because I was a little embarrassed.
Like, well, is this somehow my fault?
I called my dad first and he started like doing operations from the ground floor with the manager.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, operations with the manager.
Oh, you have a video.
She sent pics.
Oh, a picture.
We're looking at the pics, Hannah.
You look upset, Hannah, in the picture.
You were upset.
And then you're happy when you're scared.
I was very scared.
So you got an out of, you got an out of, wow, your dad, you guys handled this far more calmly than I would have.
You're very polite to not want to call the fire department.
I would lose my shit.
I would piss in there very quickly.
They'd be like, you're in here eight minutes.
And I'd be like, I didn't know what to do.
I drank urine.
So you're in that text, we were just shown a screen grab of a conversation with your dad.
And in the text, he said, you kept it together until the elevator doors open.
Does that mean that they open and you saw your dad and you dissolved into tears?
How did it go?
I don't even know how this resolved, but eventually 25 minutes into the ordeal, some random person pressed the doors outside the third floor.
And for some reason, even though that hadn't worked earlier, it suddenly opened and I ran out and I wasn't crying until the doors opened, but I started sobbing when the doors opened.
And this like strange man had to watch me come out and burst into tears.
I feel so sorry for him having to like bear witness to that moment of freedom.
You should not feel bad for the experience other people are having.
You are the victim.
Well, did they just load right into the elevator after you came out crying?
Hey, I'm trapped.
Oh, my God.
This thing's not moving.
That's why she was crying.
I told him I would not get in there if I were you.
I was just stuck in there for 25 minutes.
So, did you tell the holiday inn what happened?
Yeah, they were aware.
My dad very quickly went and got somebody who was working downstairs, and they were trying
to get me out, but everything they were trying was not working.
And we were probably two minutes away from calling the fire department before it finally just opened.
But they, they knew that I got stuck.
What did they offer you?
Like, because when the thing happened to me where someone entered my room,
I went down there and I was pissed.
And they literally were like, you can have a free fountain drink.
And I was like, and then I called Holiday and I was like, what the fuck?
And they, they stood their ground.
They did.
That was it.
That's kind of crazy because their only job is to give one key to each person's room.
They admitted that it was.
They admitted that they had messed up, but that's why they they were like, Do you want a Dr.
Pepper?
I'm such a pushover that when it happened to me and some and a man tried to come into my room with a key that he was rightfully given at night when I was sleeping in the bed.
I didn't even bring it up to the front desk.
I was like, actually, probably not fucking bad.
So you both are like, we fucked up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's girlhood.
Yeah.
And that's girlhood.
And that's why you are coughing so much at my jokes.
That's exactly right.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
So what did they tell you?
What did they like?
What was the resolution at the end of all of this, Hannah?
My major complaint is that they said they would comp the room and they never did.
So was it one of those annoying things where you're like checking your credit card statement for years to come, wondering that one day, when is this going to show up?
And then it's like more headache than it's worth.
And then you're calling and you're waiting on hold and you just never get refunded?
Yes.
That's how they play it.
That's how the holiday enrolls.
Yeah.
All right.
I think that's good enough.
I mean, we can definitely write a review for this pretty easily.
Do you want me to start, Lisa?
Do you want to stay?
I mean, sure.
Why don't you start?
Okay.
I think I'm going to go snarky.
Oh, loving that.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to start snarky.
Sup fuckos.
It's a great start.
Well, is that
kind of snarky?
Well, you say what you were thinking, and then I'll say what I think.
I'm not going to be able to edit Sup Fuckos.
So let's keep Sup Fuckos.
Okay.
How about
the term holiday in, and let's put holiday, let's put in in quotes,
is very very appropriate for this establishment.
Oh, I know.
Spell check.
This is going to be brutal.
This is a great element to this.
Because
I went, quotes, in
their elevator
and was never allowed to go out.
Out in quotation marks.
Out in quotation marks.
That's why it's not called the holiday in and out.
You jump in when you're ready.
Well, this is interesting because now you're explaining to the general public about the hotel.
Whereas I thought we were writing a letter to the hotel no this is a this is gonna be like on a yelp so fuckos is for the other users of
i just think it's like a cool way to just like talk to other people on yelp okay
so
look i'm not gonna lie it's not right but i can't remove it you know what i mean oh totally okay okay
yeah
that's why it's not called the holiday in and out i love that okay okay
um
even in and out burger allows more access in and out of different venues and areas.
That's just something I kind of wanted to shout out.
Because I think it makes brands mad when you call out another brand.
Yep.
Because I'm advertising now for In-N-Out.
Yep.
Even In-N-Out Burger
allows for different burgers and people to enter and exit different rooms and restaurants.
Good.
I just feel like I want to keep it concise.
I want to keep it to the point.
I like it.
Yeah.
Well, listen, we've already hooked them because it starts with subfuckos.
So we could really do whatever we want and keep them in.
I was trapped in the elevator in this shithole
for 25 minutes.
And to say that nobody who worked there cared
is an understatement.
Love that.
As a matter of fact,
the only person who seemed like they wanted me out.
of this elevator hell and then in parentheses hellovator oh love that
was my father who looks like one of the pawn star guys hey
i wish the handlebar that was on my father's face could have been applied as an emergency handlebar to the elevator door
and then in quotes alas wizardry's fake
and hannah we're really Again, we've started with sub fuckos.
And I just want you to know that this is going to end with later fuckos.
fucks.
Yeah, okay, great.
Perfect.
Perfect.
I mean, we've done pretty good.
Kevin, will you just,
let's go from the top and just read it real quick and we'll see what we got.
Okay.
Sup fuckos.
The term holiday in is very appropriate for this establishment because I went in their elevator.
Good theirs, by the way, Kevin.
Nice.
And was never allowed to go out.
That's why it's not called the holiday in and out.
Even in and out burger allows for different burgers and people to enter and exit different rooms and restaurants.
I was trapped in the elevator in this shithole for 25 minutes.
As a matter of fact, the only person who seemed like they wanted me out of this elevator hell, elevator, was my father, who looked like one of the pawn star
stars.
Okay, sure.
Pawn star stars.
I wish the handlebar that was on my father's face was the handlebar to the
door.
The handlebar to the door.
Alas,
wizardry.
Okay, let's bring her in for a landing.
Okay.
I have one additional grievance.
If it works, it works with that.
No problem.
I don't think you've probably ever gone to a continental breakfast after being stuck in the elevator for 25 minutes and coming out sobbing.
But like trying to get your fruit loops after that public spectacle when everyone knows you were the girl that was just stuck in the elevator, That was horrible.
Okay, so next paragraph, which brings me to the continental breakfast from hell in brackets, continental breakfast.
Perfect.
Love it.
Just like trying to, you know, create a pattern.
And I love it.
Continental.
Spell checks again.
Fucking take its own life.
Wait, Continental breakfast or just continental?
Continental breakfast.
Yeah.
And you know what?
If you want, Kev, you can change change, change, you can turn fast
into fire, so it's Continental Breakfire.
Oh, great.
Yes.
I don't know.
Just like.
I love it.
We're kind of like having fun with the format.
Yeah.
Let's stop, fuckos.
Yeah.
After
being trapped
in the up-down coffin,
I was expected
to eat my stale fruit loops
like some sort of, and let's just quote it because I'm loving the quotes, normie.
At the end of the day,
this hotel
cared so little
about getting me out
that my escape was hatched by a fellow guest
opening
the elevator on my floor.
And then parentheses:
I'm one hundo
that he thought I farted, yo.
That he thought I farted.
You got to get the heat.
Kevin just wrote, I'm 100 that I farted.
I farted.
All right.
I mean, we're pretty much there.
Lisa, do you want any capper?
Can you add before I'm 100?
Say when I warned him not to enter.
Just so that we have context for that.
Yeah, that's important.
I would say that this is a crazy review, but then sometimes you read reviews and you're like, is this this person okay?
Yeah.
What's happening right now?
Exactly.
So what time in the morning was this?
And did you, oh, you, and you wanted to get on the road, right?
Yeah, we were a little delayed.
I met all of my new coworkers later that day and having to meet all of my new coworkers with the knowledge that I had been like trapped in an elevator earlier, it was just really an odd feeling.
Do you want to go real dramatic here and just be like, this almost ruined my new job?
Yeah.
And just leave it like.
Just say this did ruin my new job.
This did ruin my new job and my coworkers did not like me.
Yeah, because my brains were scrambled.
My central nervous system was, let's say, fur'd, like, is like a fun way to say it.
Love it.
Yeah, and why don't you say my brains were scrambled, and then let's do a parentheses.
My nervous system on the fir end.
Okay.
My brains are scrambled better than the Continental breakfast
eggs.
And then, Hannah, I'm going to just take a liberty at the end of this review because they don't really know like who you are.
And you started a new job at that department, but at the end, can we just put like, by the way, I'm a surgeon.
That's great.
So that when people read it, they're like, uh-oh, the central.
Why don't we say, by the way, I'm a high-practicing surgeon.
For
now, we have to get specific where they won't believe us.
So I'm a high-practicing surgeon.
I think anyone who got here is very skeptical of us already.
I'm a high-practicing surgeon for what's like a specific
American doctor hospital.
No, like I'm seeing like a medulla oblongata or something.
That's perfect.
Do you know that part of the brain?
Yep.
What's it called?
I'm, by the way, I'm a high-practicing surgeon for the medulla oblongata.
Yep.
And then put in parentheses, look it up, fucko.
It's so misspelt.
It's insane.
Oblongada is spelled O-B-L-O-N-G-A.
It's like yada yada oblangata.
That's really funny.
Jersey spelling.
Okay.
By the way, I'm a high-practicing surgeon for the Medulla Omblangada.
Look it up, fuckos.
All right.
And then just let's sign off with
do not stay here.
Or
if you do, you will stay forever.
Oh, yeah.
And then go.
ha.
Yeah.
You'll stay forever.
Okay, great.
This is really tickling me.
I don't know if you're going to be able to do that, this is so funny.
All right, great.
Okay, let's just do a final read-through, and then, Hannah, we're going to send it to you.
And you will post it.
And you have to post it legally.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
So, first of all, I think the opening is going to get us flagged, but it's not where we have to keep it, obviously.
Well, let's just take out the C and put in two Ks.
Great.
Yes.
Sub-Fuckos.
Way better.
Okay.
Sub-Fuckos with double K.
All right.
Sup fuckos.
The term holiday in is very appropriate for this establishment because I went in their elevator and was never allowed to go out.
Also quoted.
That's why it's not called the holiday in and out.
Even in and out burger allows for different burgers and people to enter and exit different rooms and restaurants.
That part has grown on me dramatically.
I was trapped in the elevator in this shithole for 25 minutes, and to say that nobody who worked there cared is an understatement.
As a matter of fact, the only person who seemed like they wanted me out of this elevator hell, hell
was my father, who looked like one of the pawn star stars.
I wish the handlebar that was on my father's face was the handlebar to the door.
Alas, wizardry is fake.
Which brings me to the Continental Breakfast from Hell.
Continent Hell Breakfire.
Continent Hell Breakfire.
After being trapped in the up-and-down coffin, I was expected to eat my stale fruit loops like some sort of normie.
At the end of the D-Day, let's just go day.
At the end of the day, this hotel cared so little about getting me out that my escape was hatched by a fellow guest opening the elevator on the floor when I warned him to not enter.
Parenthesis, I'm one hundo that he thought I farted, yo.
This did ruin my new job, and my co-workers did did not like me because my brains were scrambled better than the Continental breakfast eggs, and my central nervous system was furked.
By the way, I'm a high-practicing surgeon for the Medulla Amblangada.
Look it up, fuckos.
Let's double K the fuckos.
Do not stay here, or if you do, you'll stay forever.
Great.
Great.
Hannah, how do you feel about it?
I think it's perfect.
I have no notes.
Was this a cathartic experience for you at all, Hannah?
Like, genuinely?
Definitely.
Definitely.
Okay.
Well, that's what we're here to do.
Yeah, if that's all we do.
Get revenge.
Yeah, that's great.
I'll email this to you, Hannah.
And then, Hannah, will you take a screenshot of you posting this on the Holiday Inn
review site that you go to?
Yeah.
And by the way, obviously one star.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, okay, good.
All right, Hannah.
Well, thank you for taking the Main and Voyage.
We're sorry that happened to you.
And remember, they did this to you.
This is not your fault.
Sorry you're coughing so much.
That was a cough, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, Hannah.
Thank you.
Okay.
Bye.

Okay, so now
this next segment is,
we're basically playing a game and I think going forward we'll multiple choice this.
But
guess that sound.
ASMR is huge.
Everyone loves ASMR.
I had someone recently comment on something
about
like whatever something we did on the dollop and they were like please stop drinking during the episode like drinking water and I'm like what the f like you get thirsty.
You're talking so much like the dollop is an hour and a half of straight up non-stop talking and they're like stop drinking during I'm like I'll die But there are other people who are like, oh, that's awesome.
I mean there's people who like hearing people eat.
But so sound effects, Burns, you came up with a list of options, and I'm trying to guess the sound effects.
It's very hard to guess the sound effects, which is why we'll probably have multiple choices going forward.
But there's some real fascinating stuff here.
So please enjoy this part of guessing the sound effects.
Here you go.
Okay, so we're trying to...
do some games.
Another thing we're thinking is maybe some games, some guessing games.
This is one we talked about doing, and then you actually facilitated Burns.
This is going to be just guessing sounds, or is it going to be like animal sound?
What is it?
It's going to be a variety of different sounds.
Right.
Yes, animal sounds will be amongst them.
So sound.
Where we'll play you the audio of a video.
Uh-huh.
And then you'll guess what the video is based on the sound that you hear.
So guessing basically what I'm hearing.
Yeah.
What you hear.
Show me.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Let's start because I think this is pretty self-explanatory.
Horse.
Sounds like a horse.
That's it?
That's it.
I mean, I don't...
It sounds like a horse eating Doritos.
You might be a little closer than you think.
Uh...
Okay, what do we have?
Alright.
Coming in.
Uh-huh.
Oh!
Oh my god, it's a cat eating Doritos.
It's a cat on a fence.
Oh my god, it's a cat.
This is awesome.
It's a cat on a fence
eating Cheez-Its, maybe?
And he has a Cheez-Its beard.
That's shocking what animals are eating.
And where?
And where.
I mean,
he's sitting on top of a fence.
Which can't be comfortable.
It's a chain-winged fence that has like the little pokey things at the top.
This is another one of those ones where I would, I, my first instinct would not be to film.
But that cat is awesome.
That's
that's awesome.
That's nature.
Like, that's really what we've done: we've kind of created our own new nature where, you know, feral animals are going to eat Cheez-Its with a bag on their head.
You like nature?
I love nature.
I got one for you.
Okay.
Followed by the Holy Trinity.
Holy Trinity.
It's great.
I have a very specific guess for this one.
I think it's outside of a church.
And I think that's a bird hitting a woman in the head.
I think a bird flew into a woman's head.
Hard.
Dare, you're not far.
Oh, it's a dove.
Oh, they're letting the doves out at a funeral.
Oh, shit.
And one of the trucks took the dove out.
Oh, they Randy Johnson, the dove.
It's a wedding.
Who has...
Okay, that wedding is so close to a freeway.
That would be crazy to be at a...
Why is a cop there?
I mean...
None of it makes any sense.
None of it makes sense.
I mean, you're so close to a freeway.
That had to be very cheap.
Terrible location.
Terrible location, and then the dove gets straight truck fucked.
The guy opens the basket towards the bottom.
He looks like he's never opened a dove basket before.
Not that I'd know what I'd do.
I definitely, if I had an option of green and freeway, I'd be like, I'm going to go green.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He had two choices and he went the wrong way.
Let's change it up.
By the way,
I don't know if you follow through with that ceremony, if that happens.
Yeah.
I definitely think I look at the woman and I'm like, ah, this should probably be an annulment.
It's 50% of our doves got killed by a semi.
It's a bad sign.
It's a bad sign.
I would be curious to know how they're doing today.
Yeah.
And how about this?
Forego the dove box fee and get married 80 feet further away from a freeway.
Yes, yes.
Take that $130 and put it towards a distance.
That would be money well spent.
All right, here's something.
This is not exactly nature.
Although I guess you could say it might be.
Well, that one wasn't nature.
There's a bird.
Yeah, but you're considering a cat on a fence eating cheese.
It's nature.
You said it was nature.
You then told me the two doves coming out of a box and getting hit by a truck was nature.
Kind of the same kind of nature.
I don't believe so.
Okay.
They all sound like horses.
I mean, I got.
It's there's not enough.
There's not enough tells.
Something funny is happening with a horse.
And that guy's laughing very hard.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck?
And now, what did you expect expect me?
Did you expect me to say?
I bet you one guy's sitting on a motorcycle and eight guys have their pants down and are slapping their bare asses?
I mean, you got closer on the bird one than I thought you would get.
I sure did, but this one's crazy.
The idea that I would be like...
What is this, by the way?
It's
Midwest.
It has to be in the Midwest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Looks like it.
Pennsylvania.
I like how one of the guys decided to take his shirt off, too.
They were like, we're just doing butts and Greg's getting naked.
We've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, seven to eight guys just pants down, slapping.
And I think what they're trying to do is mimic the sound of an engine.
Like a motorcycle cycle.
I don't think it sounds anything like an engine.
No, because they're starting off on the one guy making it look badass.
I did not imagine that that reveal would be eight guys just slapping their asses.
So you don't love that one?
I mean, it's hard to guess.
I mean, yeah,
were these supposed to be easy?
Well, it would be nice nice if I would be like, like, in my head, I was going to go like, cockatoo.
All right, here's one.
Okay.
Come on.
That's not a guy.
That's not.
Come on.
That.
Nature.
Oh, my God.
Well, I don't want to.
Let me play that again because I don't.
You want me to go in the direction that I'm not going to go in?
It's definitely air escaping something.
Or.
You know, I gotta be honest.
I don't know what this is.
What?
That's the reveal can't be.
You don't even know.
It doesn't say.
What do you mean it doesn't?
What is it?
Oh my god.
It's just a valve of hot
air petroleum jelly.
Like maybe that's how they make Vaseline.
Jelly valve?
Hot Vaseline.
The way, there's got to be a better way to make this stuff.
I mean, I couldn't tell you that.
My God.
But good for you for not taking the bait.
Not again.
Please stop it.
It stopped it.
I stopped it.
You want one more?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go one more.
Make it a banger.
Is there any one where you're like, I might be able to guess this?
The answer is no.
I can tell already.
The answer is, well.
Let's go with a winner.
Do whatever.
This is Pink Floyd.
What?
What?
There you go.
Take two.
I mean.
It sounds like a digital dove.
Is this what happened when the dove got hit by the truck in its head?
Is this the sound of a dove dying?
Leaving the Matrix?
Do it again?
I'm not going to guess it.
It's some sort of AV issue.
I'm going to guess it's a couple of old people
trying.
Like, it's a couple of old people trying to do something, maybe on their computer
or something.
It's old people trying to do something technical and a crazy thing happening and the footage will be pretty funny of what it's doing.
You're way off the bark.
Oh, I thought I was getting close.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck?
It's a sea lion?
It is an orbital seal.
Orbital seal.
That's the sound of a seal noise.
It's a seal noise.
It's a seal noise.
Wow, that's awesome.
See, that's what I...
Oh, man.
That is beautiful.
Is that better?
You like that one better?
Yeah, this is comforting to me.
Watching it.
That seal is so happy.
Do you know what it's doing?
I think he's just having a nice time.
I think he's really happy out there on the ice.
I think that's a happy sound.
That is very...
See,
that's a nice ending.
Yeah, I agree.
What's that one?
All right, we're good.
We're all set.
So that's...
That's how a seal feels after that happens.
Gareth.
Yes.
Burns and I were talking.
We thought it would be smart to, as we kind of figure out the bones and the structure of the show and, you know, your impact on the globe.
Figuring out like who you are, especially early on,
will be huge for the show.
You as well, too.
But like more importantly for the show, we think it would be nice to have like a strong brand.
We're big brand guys here.
Sure.
And so.
We found a few like personality tests that we thought would be really helpful for you to take.
And then we could kind of...
you don't think that by just doing the show and just sort of giving my take and my personality on that over a little bit of time that my personality will actually become in the old podcast world absolutely but uh today we
yeah we have to we have to establish like a strong uh persona early and then we can evolve or devolve more interestingly from there okay i don't get it but okay so what is this this is going to be so we're going to have you take this personality test.
So the options are strongly agree, somewhat agree, neutral, somewhat disagree, or strongly agree.
Yes.
There's five.
Yep.
There's the strong agree.
There's the kind of agree.
There's the neither way.
There's the somewhat disagree, the strongly disagree.
So the first one is you are a stickler for the rules.
You know, I would say
somewhat
agree to neutral, but I'll go somewhat agree because
I think that it, you know,
sticking to what you say is important.
One down, 29 to go.
Jesus Christ.
You often think about what you should have said in a conversation long after it has taken place.
Somewhat disagree.
That happens every now and then.
You know what I'll do?
Is I'll,
years later, I'll still be like, why did I say that?
You'd rather read a book than watch a movie.
I mean, this is fucking, this is like gaslighting.
Yeah, that's a big lie.
You know the answer.
Yeah, strongly disagree.
Yeah, obviously.
Your room.
I mean, that's been my,
that's been my
M.O.
my whole life.
I was like, I remember so many times in grade school where the teacher would be like, no.
And in my head, I'd be like, they changed that for the movie.
Like figuring that out in time.
I remember when I watched a Lord of the Flies movie
and the pilot lived for like the first quarter of it.
And then in like the book, like the pilot's dead immediately.
And in the movie, the guy was like, the pilot should live for the first half.
You're talking about like the credits and the movies, or yeah, the music.
I was like, Look, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah.
Your uh, question four: Your room is typically messy.
Uh, I'm gonna go neutral because it with the amount of travel I do, it falls apart.
But if I'm home, I'm pretty clean, so I'll throw neutral in.
Interesting.
At this very moment, you feel a little lonely.
I mean, you're with me.
At this very moment, no, I'm in the middle of taking a personality test.
So, I'm with your two best friends.
No, you're not my best friends, yeah.
But okay, number Number five.
Are you clicking these?
Oh, you are.
Okay.
I hope so.
I hope so too.
You identify as an introvert.
You know, I was called by
my shaman
an introverted extrovert,
meaning that what I do is very extroverted, but in reality, I'm pretty introverted.
So
again, I mean, it's hard because I almost think I have to do neutral because
I am very extroverted as far as like performing, but then I agree with that.
Like, I was, I'm like reclusive if I can be.
Like, if I could be, like, people would be like, Didn't he die?
And I'd be like, No, he just got a cow.
So, why don't we just say neutral?
Cause it's a wash.
For me, I'd say I'm a loud introvert.
Yeah, but we're not doing your, but Kevin, we did this whole thing.
Number seven, you have high standards.
I mean, I just feel like you're working with
me strongly agree.
Don't just click it because I didn't say anything.
I do have high standards, especially when it comes to this stupid thing.
Number eight, you love drama.
No, strongly disagree.
Hate drama unless I'm watching it on.
We might need to change that.
Number nine, people can easily upset you.
I mean, I've been called sensitive, but same, brother.
I think that,
again, it's not about you.
Well, like I told you today,
I saw a comment on the We're Here to Help Instagram.
Yep.
And it was just some guy who said, loving the show without the Gareth calls.
And it just rocked me.
It shouldn't have because I've been called so many horrible things.
And in this business, you just have to get used to it.
But it rocked me today.
I DM'd that guy.
I said, run.
Wait, what?
I DM'd him.
I said, run.
Well, I did write to him like, I'm loving the post where you don't comment.
I'll say somewhat agree.
Somewhat agree.
I think I'm pretty good about it, but it does have it.
Very relatable.
You always text back immediately.
No.
The people who have red on their text, Burns has that.
I dabbled with that for a little bit.
It's psychotic.
Jake has that.
It's crazy to me.
Huh?
You have it.
No, I don't.
That's why I put it on online.
It says red?
No, I don't have it.
Can you read it for?
Can you have read receipts for only certain people?
Because I don't have that with you.
That's very interesting.
I don't have it.
It says red.
Whoa.
It says I read it.
Yeah.
That's a big deal.
And for me, it doesn't.
A big thing that I go for.
To me, that's like.
That is so embarrassing.
It is mortifying, to be quite honest.
You're leaving so many people on red and they're seeing it.
It's really bad news.
That's shocking.
I'm going to actually change that while we're in the middle of this.
So I want to say some.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but as a guy who texts you almost every day,
I would say somewhat disagree.
Maybe, I don't want to say immediately.
You do respond pretty quickly, but also sometimes you're busy.
Well, sometimes I'm driving and I got it.
You need a minute.
Other times it's like, you know, where the fuck?
What do you think?
Neutral?
Don't worry about that right now.
I'm very worried about this.
I've been walking around like I have a cloak of invisibility and I'm just some guy in a sheet.
It's terrible news.
How do you change it?
Oh, Crikey.
Okay, you almost always text back.
No, I'm.
Somewhat or strongly disagree.
I'll say somewhat disagree.
I like to take my time.
I agree.
If you're going somewhere, you like to find find everything out.
No, I want someone else to do that, and I honestly don't even want to go out.
Strongly or somewhat?
Strongly disagree.
Okay.
Unless it's like my girlfriend, then I might be like, this is the thing.
But even then, she'll definitely be like, that didn't come to fruition.
You know, and I'll be like, the waiter, screwed us.
Okay, this one's huge, Gareth.
You prefer rom-coms?
Ridiculous.
I'm not even an action movie guy, but anytime a rom-com's put on,
it's real bad.
By the way, should porn be called rom-coms?
Ooh.
Just a thought.
Okay, no, strongly disagree.
Okay.
We're almost halfway there.
Wow.
This is a big deal.
You make your bed every morning.
No.
No, I look like I went through heroin with withdrawal in the night.
Strongly disagree?
Strongly disagree.
Wow.
If I'm let, yeah, no, it's crazy.
Number 14, it bothers you when things don't go as planned.
Well, see, I've already acknowledged that I'm not a big planner, but if someone's telling me that things are planned and they're not, yeah, that bothers me.
So I'll go somewhat agree.
That's interesting because I kind of view you as like a go-with-the-flow guy.
I am, but I like also, like, I'll, I'm big on like, all right, well, I think we're good here.
Structure.
Yeah.
I think we're good here.
Like, I'll do that a lot.
All right.
I think we're good here.
Okay.
Number 15.
You panic easily.
No, I think I'm pretty calm.
So I'll say somewhat disagree.
I've definitely panicked a lot in my time.
I got high for the first time like three weeks ago, and Jesus Christ, that was three weeks ago.
Yeah.
Oh,
I thought you meant for the first time in your life.
You make friends very easily.
You're very social.
I'm pretty social.
I would say somewhat or strongly.
I'm going to say somewhat.
Okay.
That's number 17.
You think your life is pretty boring.
No, I don't.
Strongly or somewhat?
I think strongly disagree.
I mean, my life is really
crazy.
Too much for me.
That's good for the pot.
That's really good for the pot.
I'm not even sure.
You prefer listening to facts rather than feelings.
That's boring.
I'll go neutral.
I'm good with either.
I think I'm pretty empathetic, but I'm also, you know, I'm pretty.
I'm a vibes guy.
It doesn't matter.
Number 19, you're quick to judge other people.
Well, in my head, I'm saying bolt in my head.
I mean, you know, and on the outside, I'm going, oh, well, don't even worry about that.
But then I'm like, what?
This fucking lunatic?
Stronger somewhat.
I'll go somewhat.
Number 20, you believe at love and first sight.
Let me try that again.
You just preposition drunked.
Let me believe.
Let me believe.
You believe in love at first sight.
I don't.
No, I don't.
I don't think you.
Sorry, sweeties.
Yeah, I don't think you can do that.
I think you could have a massive attraction right away, but I don't think you can go, I'm in love.
I think
love at first sight ends in divorce.
How about this?
You believe in love at first touch?
Touch is important.
Touch can escalate.
I'm going to say somewhat disagree.
Okay.
21.
You're not scared to tell someone that you disagree with them.
Well, I don't love doing that.
I don't love confrontation.
Again, in my head, I'm going like, oh, this person's an idiot.
But out loud, I might go like, I never thought about it like that.
I think I'm, I would go somewhat disagree.
I think I try to,
you know, not do that.
I think you need the people who are going to go like, okay, I guess you're having a moment.
Number 22, your goals in life are clear.
To end this test, I just strongly agree.
Nice.
Yeah, I want to dominate the world of entertainment.
And that's a very good quality to have.
Thank you.
23, you're confident in almost everything you do.
I got to go strongly agree.
I think it can be crazy, but I don't know.
Number 24, you're very artistic.
Oh, God.
I don't want to answer that one.
I don't like how your mouse is hovering above somewhat disagree.
Do you like Ouija boarding?
Somewhat disagree and strongly disagree.
I'll say that I
go neutral because I always find it strange when people talk about the things that entertainment as art.
I've never been comfortable with that because it's like I'm up there talking about how I ship my pants on a flight.
And then I'm like, my art speaks for itself.
It's like, no, you're just kind of an idiot who was hungover on a plane and thought you were going to pass gas and it got liquidy.
You're number 25.
You're a very independent person.
I strongly agree.
Nice.
You go on the road as a comedian.
You realize very quickly that you can.
It's scary how independent I am.
Number 26, getting into the Steve Berg territory.
You believe in ghosts.
I'll say somewhat agree just because I'm not going to close the door on anything.
They'd walk around.
I'll tell you what I don't believe in is the show Ghost Hunters.
Okay.
You're number 27.
You're almost never late for things.
That's a strong agree.
I really hate being late.
28, you cry at least once a week.
That is not true.
That is a strongly disagree.
Okay.
I don't.
I don't want to be, I know a lot of people struggle, so I don't want to be bragging about how I don't cry weekly, but I don't.
We might need to change that later.
Okay, sure.
Number 29, knowing that you wouldn't get caught, you'd rob a bank.
I don't even understand how there's any other option than strongly agree.
Well, what are we talking about?
You're telling me I should feel some sort of moral, like there should be morality involved in me going into a chase bank and taking millions of dollars right out of Jamie Dimon's ass?
If you're not going to get caught, I don't understand.
A follow-up.
What would you say?
I never rob.
I would never.
If you're not going to get caught and you're going into Bank of America, I'll go as far as to say it's an injustice to not go in there and do it.
Number three.
Follow-up.
The final question is a follow-up to the robbing the bank question.
Finally, if you did rob that bank, you would donate most of the money to charity.
Well, first of all, I'm going in there with that in my head.
I'm going in there going, most of this goes to the kids who need it.
But then I'm starting as the drive home, I'm starting to go, yeah, I mean, you know, like boats are, but a boat could be nice.
We're stretching most.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, tile, like a new tile job.
It'd be nice.
Like, I'm doing that.
Tax blast.
I, I would, uh, I'm going to go with a somewhat agree because I definitely that would be my way to find
the moral forgiveness around that.
Wow.
Congratulations.
You're Mulan and Ursula.
What is this?
You're an equal combination of Mulan from Mulan and Ursula from the Little Mermaid.
What quiz is this?
You're underestimated, a little misunderstood, and incredibly determined.
You may be a little clumsy and awkward, but that's...
I'm Ursulan?
You're Ursulan.
So that's actually great for the show.
I don't understand.
Look at the two-face.
They got split right down the middle.
What is happening?
I feel so misled.
Oh, sorry.
I should have clarified.
This was a quiz for what Disney villain or princess you are.
But I think that's actually better than a personality.
This is the dumbest ending to anything that's ever happened.
And I'm remembering everything.
You're welcome.
Hey, Dollop fans.
I know you love the dollop.
You love listening to the dollop.
Do you want to watch the dollop?
You're like, Gareth, what are you talking about?
By the way, it's not Gary, it's Gareth.
Well, Well, we have partnered with Lakeside Animation, and we are starting to animate some of our episodes.
So if you want to go watch a five-parter animation, which is actually like a 22-minute episode or 30-minute episode, I can't remember, of the Rube, you can go to Lakeside Animation on YouTube and watch a really awesome animation of the Rube.
It really genuinely kicks ass, and we're very proud of it.
And the more you share it, the more you give it to people, the more you follow Lakeside, all that stuff, the better chance we have of making a lot more of them.
We're already making a second one, so go there and watch the Rube.
Well, Kevin,
you know, one of the things that we've talked about doing on here and that I think could be good is, you know, having people
lay bare confessions to things that have maybe been eating away at them for a while.
You know, I think that a lot times if you want to tell someone something and it will, it'll just eat you alive.
And then you tell the person and the person is like, I don't care, I don't remember or whatever.
So I have one of those that I wanted to do today.
And it's something that I don't know why I remember it just because I think it's kind of funny, but I also think it's crazy.
And I also think
I look back and I go, how did I have that instinct
to kind of lie at like 11 years old?
Like,
so
so this is the story.
And then we're going to, then we're actually, I'm going to reveal this to the, the other person implicated in this story, whose name is Jim.
So I, I went to school.
with the person we're going to bring on from like kindergarten to I don't remember what age but you know you know how it was when you were like a kid and the sleepover was it.
If you, it was like the, you know, the core friends, the sleepover.
The peak.
The peak, it was the top 15 before the MySpace 8, before you felt the love online.
It was old-fashioned.
Were you in or were you, it really was the groomsman and bridal party of childhood.
You know, were you a cusper?
And sometimes,
did you ever have this where they would do the big party and then you'd cull the herd down to the elite eight
and you'd either get in or you'd be cut and you'd be like i can't believe i didn't make it so okay so this this you know it was very normal for the sleep the slumber party the birthday slumber party and um i got invited to a kid's slumber party um And I'll never forget it.
I'm aging myself, but the guy, the guy whose birthday party it was,
his name was Alex.
And
that night we went and saw Back to the Future 3.
It had just come out.
So
this is the 40s.
Back to the Future 3 had just come out.
And we just went and saw it.
You saw Michael J.
Fox's ass.
Michael J.
Fox was my hero as a kid.
I wanted to be Michael J.
Fox.
Things were good.
And Alex, for his birthday,
he had the idea that
we would do like a tent slumber party so it would be three kids to a tent in a yard in his yard so
probably
what we probably seven tents
you know six seven tenths two to three kids in a tent and so
i'm in a tent um with i don't remember the third person
but I'm next to a guy named Jim.
And I'm in the tent and we go to bed in the tent in the yard.
And
if I say tent, I think the word tent has lost all meaning at this point.
I can't believe I'm going to have to say it again.
But I'm sitting there
sleeping.
I was laying down.
I'll be honest.
I wasn't sitting there.
And I wake up three in the morning.
And
you know, when you just know
you're going to barf.
And I woke up at three in the morning and I was like, I am going to heave.
And I had no time to figure out what to do.
I mean, again, I'm 11 years old or something.
And Jim is fast asleep next to me.
And I'm in a tent.
So I make a quick decision to avoid my sleeping bag and
yarf all over my stuff.
And I just spout
all of it on Jim.
the kid who's my age next to me all over his sleep I mean and one of the ones where I I don't know why kid puke was always pink, pink.
Shot it, projectiled it, all fucking pinked Jim's sleeping bag.
Just, and, and, you know, there was residual, there was shrapnel, some hit the side of the tent.
Whoever the third kid was, he got tagged a little bit too.
Some was on mine, but I just emptied myself.
And
then there's a beat where I'm like, oh my gosh, it's just like, you know, just like dripping in the cave.
And I start to see Jim rouse, wake up.
And I just, it's, it really is not good that my instinct was this, at this young.
But I just go,
lay down and pretend you're sleeping.
And so I lay down and pretend that I'm sleeping and then listen to Jim wake up.
And Jim, I just hear Jim like, oh, oh, no.
You know, oh, no.
And and then like the third kid is like what oh Jim and I kind of I'm like oh oh what is that puke like I kind of like sell you know I do the sell I'm like oh man it's mostly on Jim's he must have puked um
and he's like yeah I threw up everywhere he's just such a nice guy right I threw up everywhere and I let him believe it and then
Word spreads.
The parents come out like they're the medics.
They
exhume us out of the tent.
They see what's happened.
Jim,
considered terribly ill, is taken to the house for a showering, you know.
And I do think he was kind of like, I feel okay.
You know, meanwhile, I'm dying.
Like, I'm pale as shit.
I'm like,
and
so they take him into the house.
And then I don't know what we did.
We probably went into the house too, but I felt horrible.
And then, but Jim's getting the VIP treatment, you know, showered all that stuff.
So my confession is I want to tell this guy, Jim,
Burns found him.
And I just have thought about this for a long time.
And I thought if we could find him, I may as well tell him what happened.
I doubt he even remembers it.
So I think it's just worth me revealing to Jim what I did and see what he thinks.
And I'm hoping he's going to just be like, I don't care.
But who knows?
So we should probably, we have him.
So why don't we bring him in?
All right.
He's in the waiting room now.
I'm going to have him join.
Jim.
Hey, how's it going?
Are you there?
Yeah.
How are you?
Good.
Well, you look the same.
I haven't aged.
You look the exact same.
What a great head of hair.
Good for you.
Well, Jim, we're already kind of into this because I've already told them
this story.
I know you have
nerves about this because you do know it's a confession.
I'm about to assuage all your fears because
you'll see that this is not the biggest deal, but it is, it is interesting.
First of all, thank you for doing this.
Of course.
And I'm glad we can finally reconnect.
And I'm assuming our friendship will hold through what I'm about to tell you.
Are you ready?
How are you feeling?
Good.
Good.
Nervous?
Not too nervous.
All right.
All right.
Well,
let's get into it.
So, Jim, this takes place at a slumber party.
I'm going to estimate that we're probably about 11 years old.
Now, I'll say whose party it was,
but maybe we'll bleep that out.
This is
slumber party.
Okay.
Yep.
Now, let me just start there.
Do you have any recollection of this event?
And if memory serves, you were popular.
You probably did a lot of slumber parties.
Did he pee in his bed?
Well, that could be a side story.
Okay.
No, no, I don't.
Okay.
I don't remember really the slumber party or...
Here's the event.
The slumber party, we all go to see Back to the Future 3.
That's the start.
So we all go see Back to the Future 3.
Obviously, we didn't really have good discernment as far as what was the best and worst worst back to the future in retrospect now we know the weakest of the three without a question
but we loved it um now we must have eaten something at the movie theater or at alex's house
um
but that's going to come back into a play in a second now what happened was
they had the idea Alex's family had the idea that we were going to do the slumber party in the yard.
And even thinking about this now, this is pretty genius from parents.
It was going to be tents in the yard.
So we were going to do like a faux camping out in Alex's yard.
And you and I ended up in
a three-person tent.
I don't know who the third person is, but they're pretty irrelevant, but you're key to this.
Now, so we're in sleeping bags, three to a tent, okay?
And you're in the middle.
It's me, you.
Our forgettable third friend in this scenario.
Yeah.
Everything's fine.
It's a fine event.
Everybody's happy.
We go to bed.
Everything's normal.
But Jim, at around 3 a.m.,
I wake up
and my stomach is off.
Something's rotten.
Now, again, I'm 11.
You're a parent, correct?
Yeah.
So, you know, the fuse is different when you get older.
You have a little better lead time.
You're more familiar with your puke body.
I just, I'm trapped in a tent and there's very little little time.
And my little 11-year-old brain decides I'm not going to throw up all over my sleeping bag.
I'm going to do it all over you, who's next to me.
And so I just
fucking fire hydrant all over your sleeping bag.
Now,
this is what I was just saying to them before this.
Some of it.
you know, probably hit the third kid and I probably had some too, but I mean, 90%
was rocketed at you on your sleeping bag.
And then it's out.
I mean, it's out very quickly.
And then you, who just got, you know, eight pounds of childhood partially digested pink slime on you,
you start to wake up.
Now, this is where you learn that I have the mind of a psychopath because I, in a quick decision, go,
pretend you're asleep.
And so I lay down
and and I, you know, I mean, I just threw up so, and I just close my little eyes.
And then you, as you wake up, you just go, oh no.
And then the third kid wakes up and he goes, oh my God,
Jim,
you threw up all over the place.
And you go, oh, I think I did.
And I go, oh, Jim, that's
horrible.
That's disgusting.
And then, and then whatever we do, we, we, we get the parents out there.
They take us all out.
Like we're the infirmed tent.
They probably hose the tent down.
You get taken to the main room.
You're bathed.
You're cared for.
You're comforted.
But myself, who's still very sick from some sort of bug or something, I'm like downstairs sleeping on a couch with this third kid.
You're cleaned up.
You're all that, everything.
Then we go to bed.
And that is my confession.
Now, I will say a quick addendum, just for comedy's sake, is the next morning they were making waffles for everybody
and we're all in the kitchen area and you're housing waffles and everyone's going boy jim is back like look at jim eating like the comeback kid meanwhile i am like sneaking off like a bulimic to go barf in the bathroom and i'm not eating any waffles and they're starting to go maybe gareth caught what jim had meanwhile i'm patient zero just going like yeah maybe i did and then and then then I, I just thought about it.
I've thought about it forever.
Um,
the crazy decision-making.
And now, do you remember this at all?
Not really.
I kind of, I kind of remember sleeping outside, but I don't remember the
puking.
Well, you, to be fair, you really shouldn't.
Yeah.
Because it was,
you were framed.
Yeah.
you were you are framed yeah
so that is my confession I now you probably in your head thought this was going to be a lot bigger than it was but I did throw up all over you and I'm I had you on today because I wanted to ask for your forgiveness if you will bestow it upon me I and I'll make you a goddamn promise if you and I are ever in the same space sleeping and I throw up on you,
I'm going to tell you what I've done.
And I expect the same courtesy from you.
But if I didn't get it, it would be karmically fair
absolutely.
I think that I probably was so happy to be with a good group of guys that like
stuff was probably just like, yeah, gross.
All right, well, what are we doing next?
I hope this doesn't impact anything in my life other than
I hope I still get those waffles, or I hope I like it.
It was probably like you, you were housing waffles.
I do remember everyone was like, wow, Jim's back.
I have a
low tolerance for like
getting grossed out.
You do?
Well, that's then I saved you some.
I mean, it's a much different experience if you were to see that I was the one who puked.
I mean, it is, it is a terrible thing that I did.
But my only defense is that I was 11, and I guess I am a little bit of like, you know, I'm a scoundrel.
But, but that's it.
That's it.
I just wanted to unburden myself once again upon you.
I'm glad you were able to
unload that and
fully process that issue that's been haunting you.
I certainly never thought anything
but
good things about Jareth and his
shining personality all the time.
I never would have
associated you with any
deceit or
whatever.
Well, look, I mean, you know, we saw Back to the Future Future 3 that night, and this is kind of a letdown time travel adventure of our own.
So that seems fairly fitting.
Well, that's it, Jim.
Well, let's text, keep in touch, and thank you again for being on the show and allowing me to confess this to you.
It's my pleasure.
Thanks so much.
I hope you can use this and enjoy it and become available anytime.
Thank you so much.
Well, I'll think if there's anything else I've done to you wrong, but hopefully that's it.
All right, Jim.
Thank you, bud.
All right.
Appreciate it.
All right.
Thanks again.
Bye.
Bye.
