The Lion Piss

Hello people, let me tell you about the online cannabis company that's revolutionizing how we deal with life's challenges.

From sleepless nights to stress-filled days, Mood.com has created an entire line of functional gummies that target specific health concerns with 100%

federally legal THC blends.

They deliver them discreetly, in case you're surrounded by squares, right to your doorstep.

And you can get 20% off your first order at mood.com with promo code FREEDOM.

I've tried a bunch of their gummies myself.

And I got to tell you, it's wild how different each one feels.

Their sleepy time gummies knock me out in about 15 minutes flat.

No hangovers, no grogginess.

I wake up feeling amazing.

And they're epic euphoria gummies.

They're perfect for those days and nights when nothing's going right and you just need to hit the reset button on your, frankly, crap mood.

What makes these different is how they paired THC and other cannabinoids with herbs and adaptogens.

You're not just going to find gummies like this in a dispensary or anywhere for that matter.

And they have gummies for literally everything, immune support, menopause relief, PMS symptoms, mental clarity,

sexual arousal.

And each one is crafted using federally legal cannabis grown on small, family-owned American farms.

No pesticides, no BS.

You can look up what that stands for.

And they can ship to most states in the U.S.

Best of all, not only does Mood stand behind everything with an industry-leading 100, I'm assuming everything they make, with an industry-leading 100-day satisfaction guarantee.

But as I think you'll recall, I mentioned my listeners, Paul of Tompkins' listeners, get 20% off their first order with code Threedom.

So here's what I'd like you to do for yourself, not for me.

Head to mood.com, browse their amazing selection of functional gummies, and find the perfect gummy for whatever you're dealing with.

And remember to use promo code Threedom at checkout to save 20% on your first order.

I'll see you in your dreams.

The longevity industry is booming.

Everywhere you turn, you're being sold some supplement or superfood to extend your life.

But what if I told you that the real secrets to living a longer, happier life are much simpler?

And they're things that you can start doing today.

I'm Dan Buettner, journalist and founder of the Blue Zones.

In my new podcast, I sit down with extraordinary people to uncover surprising secrets to living longer, better.

Listen to the Dan Buettner podcast wherever you get your podcast.

The first two episodes premiere on Thursday, August 21st.

And many more

on channel four

and Mr.

Magoo on channel two.

And

what is hmm?

I was gonna say Scooby-Doo, but that's that's channel.

I will always love

you

on Broadway.

I had a dream.

I dreamed it for you, Lydia.

Rest in peace, Michael Jeter.

Yes, you brought so much joy to our lives.

And it's time for celebrity birthdays as of this recording.

Who do we have?

Every celebrity has had a birthday as of this recording.

We got Willie Ames turned 65

from Zapped.

Jesse Ventura, 74.

Hard to believe that Willie Ames is older than Jesse Ventura.

Jeffrey Kramer.

Wait, what?

Huh?

You thought Willie Ames was older than Jesse Ventura?

He is.

Didn't you say he said he was 65?

And then

he was 74.

Oh, okay.

Well, you know, did I say 64?

I mean, Paul McCartney did very famously.

So he did.

Well, he was kind of one of the first to say that.

He was the first one to put those two things together.

As a quote: Jeffrey Kramer, the actor who played Len Hendrix in Jaws, turns 80.

Brian Austin Green, 52.

Bag.

Wow.

He's 50.

Did they call him Bag like they called

Daggie?

Dude, Dag.

I hope so.

Yeah, I hope they do.

God, I hope.

Remember the character Bag on Happy Days?

No.

In the early Happy Days days, before

still on film?

Yeah, so before it was like a live audience,

there was like an ancillary guy.

named Bag.

That was his nickname.

But they filmed it like a multi-cam, but just no audio.

No, they filmed it like a single cam.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it was it was sort of based on American graffiti, so they wanted it to sort of look like that.

And then did they put a laugh track in it, like MASH?

They did put a laugh track in it, and then they eventually were like, What are we doing here?

People want the fonts to walk out, these stories aren't that complex.

We can film them all in one night, yeah.

And uh, so there was an episode where a uh

they, you know, there was a Happy Days band, of course.

Who's in the band?

Well, Richie played saxophone.

Oh, good.

Because so is Rock and Roll.

Ralph Malfa played guitar.

Potsy sang.

Splish, splash, I was taking a bath.

He had the funniest voice.

Oh, that's right.

No, I'm thinking of Gomer Pyle, who had the beautiful voice.

He had a beautiful voice.

He talked like this, but he sang like this.

I had a gym neighbors box set for a while.

I thought you were going to say lunch box.

As soon as you said box, my mind filled in lunch box set.

Lunch box set.

It was a box set of lunch boxes that he had used.

Yep.

Yeah.

They didn't have him on it.

They were pretty plain, actually.

Box set of gym neighbors records.

Singing.

Yeah, singing records.

How many...

I got it in a thrift store when I was like 21.

I thought it was so hilarious.

And I've carried it around with me now for all of my life.

I still have it.

Is it vinyl?

It's vinyl, yeah.

Isn't that kind of weird?

The things that last, like that you just keep taking with you every time.

From place to place to place to place.

And I never listen to it for pleasure.

It's just a curiosity that I find funny.

What's weirder to me is the things that you carry around and then eventually you don't know what they are anymore.

Yeah, like, do you have one of those?

Not anymore.

I think I did like a big purge of shit like that.

I have found something that I've been doing.

I'm in the midst of a purge.

Like, literally ticket stubs with nothing on them.

Like

all the writing favorites.

No, like carnival tickets.

Like

fuck, I don't remember.

You had a good time at a carnival once you're like, I got a room.

It's really funny.

I'm sure it was connected to some girl.

Yeah.

It had to have been.

You got to write that on there.

But there would be objects where I'm like, I don't know what this is anymore.

Yeah.

Maybe it's just trash.

Maybe we've talked about it, but when we moved into this place from the previous place, I did a somewhat of a purge where I was like, all these mementos I'm keeping, I'm going to take pictures of them.

Yes.

So that they can be stored digitally, but I don't have to have the stuff anymore.

I should do that with the gym neighbor's box set.

Just take a picture of the thing and go like, I used to have this.

Absolutely.

It's funny, right?

Yeah.

Honestly, Honestly, you know what?

The story's enough.

Yeah.

Really?

I've passed

you a picture of it.

I don't even know what it is.

Yeah.

That's beautiful.

Isn't it, though?

You don't know what Jim Neighbors is?

No.

Have you ever seen Gomer Pyle?

United States Marine Corps?

Yeah.

USMC.

No.

He was like, Goll, Shazam was his other big cat.

I don't know.

The name I've definitely heard.

Golly.

How sweet it is.

Did you say that?

I don't think so.

That was Jackie Jason.

I was a character.

That's right.

Where's the beef?

Sit on it, Popsy.

I think I follow.

I think I follow.

Uh-huh.

So we talked like this, and he was real dumb, and he was from the South, but he had a homespun wisdom.

He was a spin-off from the Andy Griffith show.

I see that.

He first appeared in season three of the Andy Griffith show.

And then he got his own, he joined the Marine Corps.

And I remember, like, what was the theme song?

He was was like, da da da da da da.

What was his most famous saying?

So this is a quiz for you.

Suzanne.

That's one of them.

Golly.

That's another one.

But this is not the most famous.

How sweet it is.

Sit on a Potsi.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Additionally, he would sometimes say,

shame, shame, shame.

I don't remember that.

I vaguely remember that.

Additionally.

When I was a kid, that show was in syndication.

You know,

I hated it.

I didn't like him.

And even more so, I did not like his sergeant who despised him.

Sarge?

There was something about that actor that was so unpleasant to watch.

Because you wanted him to be loved.

Well, he was, yeah, because he was so mean to Gomer, who was just.

You wanted Gomer to be loved.

That's the trick.

If you're writing a really unlikable character in your thing, write someone even more unlikable who hates that person, and you'll be on the side.

The idea was the sergeant really was just supposed to be frustrated by this guy who's a man-child and how to communicate.

Who keeps falling up?

Does he really?

Like, would he get promoted?

He never would get promoted, but he would keep fucking up things, and then it would just all work out.

But he was not like technically a Gilligan, right?

He wasn't like actively.

I don't know.

I want to play this song really short.

Sure, please.

I've clicked on it.

Will it ever load?

You know, Dasher and Dancer,

Donner and Vixen.

I'm trying to play it, but...

Pile!

Shut up, Pile!

That's what the guy's voice sounded like.

Yes.

Pile!

Would you watch that with your parents?

No.

I would go to my grandma's house and she would cut out, she would always cut out the Sunday.

She'd pass the saving song to me.

And she would breastfeed me.

Oh, no.

But she would always cut out the Sunday funnies for me and collect them.

And then

she also would

let me watch TV because I was so fucking bored there.

Yeah.

And

she

so I would watch it mainly over there because I feel like she was in a different

city that had different syndication stuff.

And I would only get over there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm trying trying to load this fucking theme song and none of the three versions will load.

We would not watch it as a family, but it would be TV that was on maybe on a

maybe like on a Saturday, like after cartoons were over.

Yeah.

And you knew like there's some acceptable TV to watch.

Isn't that so funny how when we were growing up, Paul and I, there would be a family together.

As a family.

There would be so many TV shows that were in syndication that were black and white.

Like half of the things you would watch were black and white.

And I feel like with your generation, that was not the case.

No, but I did watch a lot of reruns from like of Brady Bunch, Happy Days, all that stuff.

And some black and white, like I Love Lucy.

And like, I love Lucy, I think, is the one that is above all of them.

Yeah, I would always find that someone.

Like, Andy Griffith would come on, I would turn off the TV.

Like, there were, they did have, like, we did have black and white ones in the lineup, but it was like.

When did that finally go away?

It feels, it feels like.

Yeah, it feels like they all moved to like, well, because like then Nick at night

was that.

Oh, yeah.

Now Nick at night is like full house and stuff.

Yeah.

Which is kind of insane.

It's like when the idea of what oldies are changes and moves forward a few decades.

Yeah.

I know.

Yeah.

But you know what?

Classic rock.

We're oldies.

Yeah.

And not even goodies.

Hey, it was just your birthday.

We didn't talk about your birthday the last episode.

Fucking shit.

Happy fucking shit.

What did you do?

What did you do?

What did you record a comedy bang bang episode?

Not for real.

On your birthday.

People know it was your birthday?

Funnily enough, it had two close friends on it who didn't know, and I never brought it up.

I'm sure they would have wanted to know.

One of them later at about 11:55 wrote to me and said, Hey, I forgot to say it was your birthday.

Well, what did you do besides that?

So then I took our, or Kulop and I took our nephew to see Jurassic Park.

Nice.

Whatever it's called now.

It happened again.

Yep.

And we did you know, none of us liked it.

And that was it.

Here's what I heard about that movie:

they've made up some new dinosaurs.

I did hear about the D-Rex.

Yeah.

The B-Rex?

The D4.

The D-Rex.

Does that mean what I think it means?

You got the D-Rex.

He's got a big-ass dick.

My brother described the D-Rex to me, but I want to see it for myself.

I'm just going to look it up right now.

It's.

What is it?

Because it's called.

I think it's the D4.

I can't remember.

But

I know I'm biased, but I think that kind of is

very fun to see in the theater, and I want to do that.

Here, let me see if I can play some of the Gummer Pile theme.

This is not the official version.

This is like the MIDI version.

Is it?

I feel like I'm walking down Main Street in Disneyland.

Yeah.

This is not bad, actually.

That's right.

Yes.

It gets you exactly, it gets across the point exactly.

Yes.

It says a military march, but it's a little silly.

It's whimsical.

It's whimsical.

Yes.

Exactly.

I love it.

I listen to that all the time.

Next time we do an episode, will you come back having watched one episode of Gomer Pyle?

No.

No.

Why?

There's just not enough time.

What do you mean there's not enough time to sit?

Like at the end of the day, when I get to relax, I'm not doing that.

That shows me.

I think I understand what it is from the pictures.

No, but I want you to watch it.

And his impressions.

No, I don't want you.

His impressions aren't good.

So, did you have a birthday dinner, dear?

Where did we go?

We went, yeah, we went to a restaurant called

I don't want to say

McDonald's way.

If you say McDonald's, then everyone will know your favorite McDonald's.

It was good.

We'd never been there

before, but I enjoyed it.

Okay.

And I'd love to know off mic what it was.

Sure.

And then

back in time to get Emmy and put her down for bed and all that kind of stuff.

And you had cake in YouTube.

Well, Emmy's saying happy birthday to you, but were you eating a breakfast?

It was the day after, I feel like, because we actually did not.

Oh, that's right.

We didn't get back in time.

So I didn't see her.

I saw her at breakfast and then didn't see her until the next day.

Wow.

And what's your favorite kind of cake?

We got a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake.

Wow.

That's really a bull move.

Yeah.

I used to have to.

There's a ticking clock on that thing.

I remember a couple of times I bought one for my own birthday celebration

and brought it down to my parents' house.

And I would get it decorated to say, happy birthday to Scott Auckerman, the greatest American living or dead.

Wow.

I would make them write that on it and then bring it down in the like thing that would keep it cold, the little bag that they give you, you know, and bring it down to...

Cake bag.

Cake bag.

Cake bag.

And then now next up is my birthday and then yours.

Yeah.

So coming up, Lauren's birthday.

Yeah, no, I'm coming in number two.

You're going to be the 40th for now.

Oh.

Do you have plums?

I'm thinking about it.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do.

I've been struggling to figure out what kind of celebration would feel fun

and right.

Because sometimes things feel more stressful when you have a party.

It's like

my 40th was very stressful.

I did not have to be.

I don't want it to be stressful.

I want it to be fun.

So I'm just, I'm still narrowing down.

Yeah.

We were also about to move to New York for that job.

Uh-huh.

And so I was like,

out of my mind.

That's crazy.

I said, golly.

Golly.

But I'm going to be 57 this year.

No, shit.

The Heinz.

No, you're going to be 55.

It's my Heinz birthday.

57.

Yeah.

It's weird.

I'm now at the point where I forget.

How old I'm going to be.

I just can't believe my 50th birthday was seven years ago.

Yeah, I know.

I also also feel like

I've been saying what age I am when I turned a couple of weeks ago for like six months before that.

Yeah.

You know, because my birthday is a lot of fun.

I kind of started rounding up to 40.

Yeah, like mentally.

Like, and just in conversation.

I'm like, well, let me just soak up a little more of 39 before I'm saying 40.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

40 feels like a big number, like on in some ways.

Yeah.

Do you know what?

It's great.

Yeah.

40 is great.

That's a lot of what I've heard has been from women.

You know, they say, like, it's better as you get older.

It really is,

it really is.

My 50s suck shit.

Sorry,

my 40s were pretty good.

50s up and down.

Yeah, but nothing.

You know what?

I really, I cannot complain.

Yeah, it's all

right.

At least we're living.

I have a very nice life.

At least we're alive.

At least we're alive.

My life is filled with good people.

Wonderful people.

That's right.

That's very lovely.

What more could you ask for?

We were going to celebrate Kulops 40th and my 50th.

I think we were going to get a bunch of friends to go out to Montana and we were going to do.

Yeah, that almost happened in the pandemic.

Yeah, and in the pandemic happened.

Right.

Because I was going to go there, I think.

I think we were going to go.

And we've just never.

You were going to do a city slickers.

You're going to do that cowboy camp.

Yeah.

And we've never.

Maybe

next decade.

I think at that point.

How old are you now?

I'm the Hagar.

What does that mean?

55.

I thought of Hagar the horrible.

Speaking of the Sunday funnies.

Yeah, really.

Okay, so at 60 and 50.

Is that too old to be riding a horse?

I feel.

Well, then maybe it's not horseback riding.

It's something else.

Hawaiian pool lounging.

Yeah.

Why do I have to wait five years for that?

No, do it now.

Let's do it right now.

Yeah.

Hey, let's stop this episode and just go ahead to the birthday.

I really want to go to Hawaii.

I'm starting to think about my 60th birthday.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's that's three years.

Yeah.

Well, you aren't 57 yet.

Yeah, it's very true.

Yeah.

But I will be soon.

Do you have an idea in your head about that?

Like, what, like, what it because yours was a big, fun party with a performance and stuff.

Do you want to do that again?

I sang Rock Lobster and got out of breath within 20 seconds.

You fucking crushed it, though, bro.

Thank you.

And you sang

a Pet Shop Boy song.

It's a Sin.

Yeah.

That was great.

As I look back upon my life.

Yeah.

I mean, great version.

Like almost a big band version in a way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was great.

Love it.

It was fun.

Do you think that's the kind of vibe you want to do again?

I don't know.

I might do some.

I mean, honestly, what I keep thinking about is

I feel like I keep thinking about like a Downton Abbey style trip where we go.

Some people go somewhere for a weekend and then we like dress formally for dinner.

Oh, fun.

That's fun.

Yeah.

That's great.

And very you.

To have like a weird English countryside sort of thing.

I don't know where that would be.

Yes.

In the States or in out in

actual.

I have thought about another idea is to actually go to Ireland or something and have a week-long trip there and play trader.

I mean, we were just in Ireland, had a great time.

You were just in Ireland?

Yeah, he and I was Bang Dang.

When was that?

Last year?

Last September?

That was last year.

Yeah, yeah.

It was in September because we watched the debates

from in England.

No way.

For the second time in a row.

We shouldn't do that.

I I feel like that's on us.

We all

both both in 2016 and in 2024, we watched a certain person debate another person.

It was different both times.

Yes.

And

we can't narrow this down.

And then both times we said,

I think that sealed the deal.

Yeah.

It's not going to happen anymore.

And we're disappointed both times.

I have no choice but to say it's us.

Yep.

Yeah.

It's on us.

In any case, yeah.

What are you going to do?

Do you have?

Well, so the ideas are kind of

that I was working with were sort of like I could do like a big party, like 50 people

party.

That would be in my mind.

Like a dinner.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, that's

for a dinner.

Do you think the tip would be included by the server?

Yeah, I think so.

Or I do.

It happened to me the other day, by the way, at this,

where I saw the first asshole.

The thing.

And they included the tip and previously.

I thought

the

server circled

it

to point it out because I was ready to add another $100 on top of what.

Do you know what?

If they don't do that, I don't blame them.

I think that's fine.

I know, but

they're trying to get away from it.

But I have to say,

it was appreciated.

Let's consider it.

It was very appreciated.

Nice.

Last year, when I turned 39, I had a dinner with 10 women, and that was really fun.

And then I was like,

I could do that again, just you and 10 women.

I was like, i could do that again i had a birthday where it was just me and women yeah because i saw it i saw i was out there with some friends at uh el coyote yeah i think they said el coyote there was a table next to us there was like a long booth i know it's still there but i want to i just haven't been

and it was like

something like 11

11 women and one guy

and it was just so funny like this

like well i could not understand what the story was And you were like, I'm going to do this.

And I said, I was going to do that.

So I had a birthday that was when Janie and I had just started dating.

And all your ex-girlfriends or girls that you might have dated instead of her.

Yes.

Everyone you were at least a little attracted to.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, and then my last option, I just want to say, is an activity of some sort, TBD.

But I'm like, so maybe it's an activity.

Maybe it's that.

So it's very far-reaching.

What about wine tasting?

I don't really care about that.

Okay.

I hate wine tasting.

Why?

You just want to drink it.

It's so bougie.

And I don't care about the difference between the flavors.

I just don't really care.

The trip aspect of it is fun.

Yeah.

The trip aspect is fun.

I don't want to make everyone do a trip.

Yeah.

But

I might do something.

I think I

like a destination thing if the destination is fun.

Yeah.

And it's not like a crazy-ask, you know, like if something

into

Lodi

where the prison is.

You want to tour a prison for your birthday?

You want to tour a prison for your birthday?

Let me get this drink.

What if, though, what if it was Alcatraz?

Wow.

It's coming back.

No, that's so awful.

Alcatraz is kind of interesting.

We went,

God, how long ago did we go to Alcatraz?

I had a digital camera because I took some pretty amazing pictures.

It must have been 2004.

No, see, I almost feel like I rode a boat that went there, but I didn't tour it or something.

So I'm like, I don't remember actually seeing the thing, but I remember buying merch.

You just did it for the boat.

I bought some merch.

So you went on the boat.

I bought some t-shirt.

I had some like nightgown that was like jail, like escaped from Alcatraz.

It was like black and white stripes.

God, I wish you would still wear that.

I mean, it was in my costume box forever.

I did wear it in a lot of shows.

What if you like went to bed one day?

It was laying up my bike.

It was like Mike, and you like,

the audience would go wild.

I'm the hamburgless.

All right, we have to take a break.

Let me tell you something.

When you're talking about small things,

there's nothing small about starting your own business.

What do I know about it?

I'm just a dumb comedian.

Well, guess what?

I sell things to people who are dumb enough to like my comedy.

And that means I got to do businessy stuff that I never thought I would have to do and that I was scared of, quite frankly.

But because I care, because they care,

I figured out a good way to do it.

Shopify.

Shopify is the commerce platform that gets what running a small business is like because Shopify was once one too.

Did you know that?

I wish there was a prequel ad.

Hit that cha-ching.

Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S., from household names like Mattel, Barbie much, and Gymshark, go to the gym in the ocean much, to brands just getting started.

Now, look, I'm setting up a store for my Variatopia variety show.

We're selling merchandise, and

I have resisted doing this for such a long time because it's so scary.

But then

it's happening.

It's all being built, and Shopify is a key part of this build.

Cha-ching.

It's back.

Back to school season.

School season, little boys and girls.

But you know what's not on the shillabush this year?

Tell me, getting schooled by your old wireless bill.

I agree.

Dude, do daughter.

And as always, Quince is where I'm turning for fall staples that actually last

from cashmere to denim to boots.

I've never seen you so furious.

I'm mad, but I'm getting happier.

The quality holds up, and the price still blows me away.

Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear non-stop.

Like super soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters, starting at $60.

I got to ask you about their denim.

Okay, well, their denim's durable and it fits right.

What about leather jackets?

They are real, and they bring that clean, classic edge without the elevated price tag.

Sounds good.

What makes Quince different?

Hey, everyone.

Oh, hey, well, they partner directly with Ethical Factories and skip the middlemen.

So you get top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands.

Can I hear some personal experience from you?

Because I'm still a little skeptical for some reason.

Well, one of my favorite pieces from Quince is their 100% Merino Wool All-Season Short-Sleeve Tea.

Now, I've been trying to incorporate more natural fibers into my wardrobe, as I'm telling you all the time.

And wool totally fits the bill.

It's naturally heat-regulating, so it helps keep you warm in winter, cool in summer.

The perfect thing for this in-between season.

Now, I've been wearing mine so much, I just ordered one in another color.

I want to keep it classic and cool this fall.

Do you have any suggestions?

You should do that with long-lasting staples from Quince.

Go to quince.com slash threedom for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

No, that's great.

How do you spell it?

I was gonna say

365-day returns is amazing because if you're like me, sometimes you forget to return something.

Yes, and yes, when you miss the window.

Like 200 days in, you might be like, I gotta return.

Honestly, I've done that before.

That's q-u-in-ce-e.com/slash slash threedom free shipping and 365 days returns quince.com slash threedom

and we're back

we're back

i'm back for sure yeah so last night um

kulap and i were driving by the way we saw the new naked gun which is very good i was gonna go to that i didn't know that was happening yeah they nailed it they did i can't wait to see it um written by dan greger and Akiva.

I didn't know that.

Dan.

Doug Mand.

Doug Mand, yes.

Yeah, they all did a great job.

The cast did a fantastic job.

And it wasn't like certain movies of that ilk that have jokes where you're like, that's not of the style.

Ilks.

Ilks.

Anyway, so we were driving, and

first of all, Kulop starts this conversation.

She goes, like,

so our nephew,

who has been in town, the last night he was here, he,

while everyone was playing mahjong and trying to enjoy themselves, he put on a true crime murder series that,

so Kulop starts the conversation going like, by the way,

you know, if you want out of the marriage,

just divorce me.

Don't kill.

Yeah.

Don't kill me.

Yeah.

That's not where I thought the story was going.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's not where I thought the story was going.

I'm just like, well, what are you talking about?

But does that women?

There's going to be a story about Kai and what he should or should not be watching.

I think all women kind of need to make that disclaimer.

Just divorce me.

Just divorce me.

Don't get me to kill him.

You don't have to kill me.

I will go away.

We can never talk again.

We can work this out.

Whatever.

You don't have to kill me.

But so I was, so I was like, what are you talking about?

And so she explained it, but then she proceeded to tell me every gruesome detail of the thing.

Was this new?

I think so.

And I eventually had to stop her and say,

I didn't want to watch this.

I don't want to hear about this.

You know what?

Stop telling me.

Say something.

I think almost men

cannot handle it.

Well, and women know how dangerous the world is, and we can handle that and watch that.

Well, Kulap did apologize and say that was inflicting violence on you.

I'm sorry.

Like, I don't know why.

She goes, I watched it and felt like I had to.

Sometimes you got to tell someone.

Yeah.

You have to say what you saw.

Yeah.

It was the details were pretty gruesome.

Anyway, so, but I thought that was good advice.

Just divorce someone.

Yes.

Don't kill them.

But I

Janie, of course, is also civic to me.

Of course.

But I think because she watches a lot of that stuff and she will catch me up on it immediately if I'm like walking through the room.

She'll be like, oh, just, you know, here's what's going on.

But I think that's

for because I've absorbed a lot of it from being in the room and sometimes I'll just watch it along with her, you know, whatever.

I think that

that is something

that is in you to do.

If you...

You're a killer.

You are a killer.

That's what I was sort of saying.

I was saying.

Because anytime where the guy's like,

they paint it like he felt.

Faced with the situation,

well, I got a killer.

The killing is insane,

but you do kind of go, a lot of these stories are so scary because it seems like the guy would never, ever do anything like that and it is very normal.

And,

but you know what?

There was one that I watched that wasn't the lost daughter, that one that she went.

I don't know.

This one was crazy.

It was one where the gentleman also

did the same to the children.

And I was trying to say to Kulop, I was like, I kind of understand the

wife.

I was.

I was like, I kind of understand like you're in a situation where you don't want to undergo the shame of getting a divorce to all your friends you got married in front of or way more shameful to kill someone just

right yeah I know or you don't unless you're going to kill yourself or financially you don't want to have to deal with the shame yeah you don't want to like lose half of your money or whatever I'm kind of like okay I can kind of get there with a person going like what if I just killed my wife but but

I can kind of get there but but then when it's the whole family you you got to go like yeah that was just something you wanted to do like you're insane and so scary I love stories well you're you're so like your brain there's there's like a narcissism to it because that is a common thing of

people of these guys, I should say, killing the killing other family members as well for the shame aspect.

It's weirdly in a lot of these stories.

And that is just like a brain that is

just mush.

Maybe we shouldn't have big weddings then, because then there wouldn't be the shame of getting just divorced.

You know what I mean?

Weddings should be illegal.

Ceremony.

If you aren't equally happy getting married at the courthouse as you are doing your baby, if you're not equally happy getting divorced as you are getting married, shouldn't there be married?

Shouldn't there be as big a ceremony to get divorced?

Yeah, everybody has to divorce.

A big, expensive party.

We're doing a destination divorce.

That's going to be a divorce.

This is a good movie idea.

I was going to say that's going to be a movie.

I feel like that has been done.

Destination divorce.

That sounds familiar to me.

I'm going to to write it down.

In any case, yes.

So

we have that conversation, but then on our way home,

this was genuinely startling to me.

But

I'm driving and I like to be very safe when I drive.

Oh, you're kind of funny that way.

Yeah.

Different strokes.

But

this maybe happened to you guys, but our alerts went off on our phone last night.

It's no, it's in my pocket.

It's not out.

It's in my pocket.

I'm not on my phone or anything.

It's in my pocket.

It starts vibrating

very

robustly.

And both of our phones go off at the exact same time.

And so it's a loud

in the car.

And I'm trying to drive and I went, ah, and I,

and I like swerved a little bit.

It was just genuinely startling.

And then all it is is like a missing person.

All it is, and it's somebody's child.

No, it was a corona.

But that's somebody's child.

Everybody's somebody's child.

Good save.

I knew it when I said

somebody's grandchild.

All it was was some missing person being trafficked.

Look,

I understand like

alerting everyone, forcing everyone to pay attention when it's an earthquake or something.

That's diarrhea.

That affects everyone.

But missing people, you're on your own.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop alerting me about this.

You are saying something that can can only end ironically for you.

Oh, then the other part of it is

Cool Ops trying to help.

She's like, okay,

tries to click on it.

It's a Twitter link that they're sending to you.

Yes.

X.com, the everything app.

You have to go fucking.

But I don't have that.

You have to go onto it, onto that terrible, cursed app in order to find out the information about it.

It's fucking ridiculous.

Stop it, government.

Stop sending me this shit.

I'm trying to direct it.

Stop it.

And the missing person was Jeffrey Epstein.

Yeah.

But he's been found.

And just client list.

What if he got one of those?

He's rare.

Client list.

What a world.

What a world we live in.

What is a crazy little world we're in?

But I love it.

I love your

little thing called World.

World.

Do you remember when the fires were happening and they sent out like the

mistaken alerts?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That was bad.

Damn.

That was

very stressful.

I pray that this year is not like that for many, many reasons.

But that was already has been.

Well, I mean,

I mean, that next January.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I feel nervous about that.

I feel nervous about a lot of things.

Yeah, same.

Yeah.

Yeah, same.

Y'all.

Oh, but speaking of our nephew, he was in town.

I think I've told you on the show about his little business of cleaning tennis shoes.

Absolutely.

And so.

Is he still into that?

No.

And he's moved out.

are you still are you still doing the business he's like oh and he didn't even really remember it wow but i was like

i said you know and we none of us could forget

i said you know when when i signed up for your business you upsold me

and you said if i paid more it was a lifetime subscription of you cleaning my shoes so i have several pairs and did he for you a year to clean and he got this look on his face of like oh

and he used to like doing it used to love it and now he's like i don't want to do that yeah i don't yeah what if you i wish you'd held him do it a little bit longer yeah to where he's like in front of a pair of shoes and then you're like i'm just fucking around

that's really funny

oh poor nephew yeah i mean the poor nephew

nephew he got scared sometimes when he would come out here he would he would say like okay i need to go to this baseball card store, this baseball card store.

Now he doesn't do any of that.

Oh, that's that was the next thing, right?

He moved on from shoes to baseball cards.

Yeah, and he was

selling them.

And he always has interesting businesses.

Yeah, he's an entrepreneur.

He is.

He is.

Mark Cuban left Shark Tank.

And I watched the episode.

Not enough fanfare.

Mark Shark also left Cuba.

Okay.

So the Cuban Cuban Pete also left in his old broke down car.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, oh, oh.

Guys, Stanley Lip

10.

What is his name?

Oh, I did.

Ipkiss.

He had a bad car.

Ipkiss.

He had a bad car.

Guys, we're burying the lead.

Several people have written to us to alert us

of this.

What do we do?

John Mellencamp song.

Oh, my God.

You know what?

Yes, yes.

I got this information.

We have been remiss.

I found this really upsetting.

And one of those things where you kind of go, just don't tell me that.

And I'm about to tell you all.

This is like ruining a magic trick.

So, like, sucking on chili dogs.

Yeah.

We've been informed that a chili dog is like a Slurpee.

It's a brand

name.

For me, that's a big problem because now the song's not funny.

Yeah.

Sucking on chili dogs.

You're meant to be funny.

Outside the tasty freeze.

Yeah, of course, you're sucking on a Slurpee outside of 7-Eleven.

That's not funny.

It's not as funny as the idea of sucking on a hot dog covered with chili.

Yeah.

Admittedly.

But it still is, there's something odd about saying sucking on it.

Yeah.

But it just kind of becomes like sucking.

You would say you're drinking it.

Sucking on chili dog.

I don't think I want to say I'm sucking on it.

Sucking on chili dog.

You don't want to say it.

I don't want to say it.

But you want to do it.

Sucking on chili dog.

Outside of tasty freeze.

I still just want it to be

a brand that Tasty Freeze makes because it's weird to do, to suck on a chili dog outside of Tasty Freeze if Tasty Freeze hasn't sold you the Chili Dog.

I think they bought it.

I think they're hanging out.

Do you watch

it at the Tasty Freeze?

Do you or have you ever watched Claim to Fame on Hulu?

Primes.

That's the one where you have to get away from it.

It's a sibling of

a relatively famous.

Oh, yeah.

I've never seen a full season.

I'll start one and watch maybe one or two and then go, those are boring.

You know what?

Never have I ever seen it.

You have to barrel through.

No, I don't.

You do.

If you're not going to watch Gomer Pyle, I'm not going to watch Claim to Fame.

And John Mellencamp's son was on there.

I'm just all I'm saying.

Really?

Did he suck on anything?

He almost sucked on something because he started to have a relationship with one of the girls.

I don't remember who she was with.

It would be fun if he was one of the people.

Oh, her heart.

His father was also a famous country singer who I wasn't familiar with because I don't really know country songs.

That's fun.

Yeah.

And they just started making out.

No, they didn't make out, but they just had crushes.

And so they just started making out?

Yeah, but it was like, that's perfect.

You guys should date after because both your dads are famous.

Who is the least famous person that a a celebrity, that a sibling person?

Like the least famous celebrity on that show.

You know what?

They're all pretty big.

Wasn't it like Eddie Murphy?

All the ones I've heard.

I don't think I've ever seen a reveal where I go, who's that?

Like, it's always, I know who that is.

So, so you think Emmy can't go on?

Not yet.

Not yet.

I think.

Child.

It'd be Nepple Baby House.

Who never said there's an age limit?

She had a two-year-old running around.

Try to figure it out.

They're like, is anyone going to watch her?

Who are you related to?

You just ask them.

Who's dada?

Who's mama?

Who's dad?

Does she know your full name?

She does.

Well, she knows her full name and she knows our first names.

But I think I said my full name the other day and she went, no,

you're Scott or no, you're dada.

Yeah.

So she, I don't think she's put that together.

And she definitely doesn't have any conception of what we do for a living.

She just, when, when I say I'm going to work, she just goes, you're downstairs?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We go to work at all hours of the day.

It's like I colleague doing a show, going to work and like, everything's work.

So she just has no idea.

Everything is work.

Everything is work.

I know two people.

Good.

Us.

And they're you.

And they're right here.

Thanks.

Two friends of mine who are fathers whose children at a certain point just started calling them by their first name.

Yeah.

And never stopped.

I don't like that.

Never went back.

I don't want that.

But it's very funny to me.

I want to be dada forever.

I think it'll be a bummer when it's just dad.

You think so?

Yeah.

That happens sooner than you think.

I know.

It's probably going to be today.

It could be today.

Oh, swimming lessons are happening again, by the way.

The screaming intensify intensified.

You're going to do that.

Cool, I've invited you.

Capture screaming intensifies.

It didn't work with our schedule, but I wanted to do it.

It's

Emmy.

it's so funny because Emmy is

really good swimming.

And even the teacher afterwards was like, she's really good.

Yeah.

But she could go free.

Is she afraid?

Screams the entire time and crying.

And it's so funny how kids.

Even though she's doing it well.

She's doing it well, yes.

And she's just like, I want out.

I want out.

I want out, mama.

And then it's like she's trying every tactic.

I want out, dadda.

Why doesn't she?

What is her problem that you're able to figure out?

Is it the coldness of the water?

I think she finished her lessons that were six months ago, and then we just didn't have her regularly do it after that.

And now I think.

And you make her swim in jeans.

Yeah, that's true.

And a puffy coat.

And a jean jacket on top of that.

But

I think there's a level of fear.

I mean,

all of the kids other than one who loves it.

were pretty much crying at certain points.

Well, once they start, once one starts crying, it stresses the other ones out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

You're like, I should be doing it.

It's like, oh, this is scary.

But it's so funny to see the tactics the kids are using because, like, there's one who's just throwing out, she was so young, just throwing out words, trying to see if any combination of words would work.

It was like, tornado!

And then one, one yesterday was like,

you know, saying, I want to go.

I want to leave.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I want to go.

Come on, please, mama, please, mama.

And then start going, I have to go peepee.

I have to go peepee.

Like that'll, that, that's, you know, you'll take me to the bathroom, right?

That's how you learn.

Everybody goes in the pool, yeah.

Just do it.

Go ahead, like that lion.

You, I dare you, like that lion.

We get the lion piss.

Yes,

the lion piss.

The lion piss.

Would that show have been as successful if it was called the lion piss?

And it's just that monkey holding up a jar of piss.

And it's just that.

That's it.

And it's kind of like it goes back and forth.

90 minutes for 90 minutes.

Animated game.

All animals watching.

It's beautiful.

Would it have been as far as the sun shining through it?

Who can say?

From the day we arrive.

Is it wild

to realize there's another universe where that did happen?

That anything you can think of has happened in another universe.

You know what?

The more I think about that, the dummer that is.

It's stupid.

You were talking about this on Scott hasn't seen about the monkeys and the typewriters.

Yeah.

Scott was just saying, you know, they say that in some universe, like these monkeys, infinite monkeys, infinite typewriters, and they would write the works of Shakespeare.

No, no,

that's not happening.

No, it never would happen.

No, it wouldn't.

No.

But I mean, I do think it's funny.

I love just shutting up.

When you think about,

you think about.

It's not possible.

No, there's one universe.

It's this one.

Yeah.

They just, it's fun to think about it.

It's fun to type out.

The entire works of Shakespeare accidentally.

I mean, no, it would never happen.

There'd be typos and words that wouldn't make sense.

Exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How much of a curve are we grading on?

Yeah.

Where we're saying, yes, they type the complete works of Shakespeare.

Like, we're, yeah, we're just correcting them mentally.

Well, this is definitely the story, but it's not the exact story.

I mean, yeah, it's like he got the idea, but like, that's not impressive.

Character names are the same.

Sure.

They arrived at that somehow randomly.

I have a question.

Have you, you, and we talked about this?

Have you ever been to the sphere?

Yes.

You've been to the sphere.

Opening night.

Opening night?

No one had been?

Because it was U2.

It was U2.

That must have been crazy.

And I went with Adam, who

got invited and took us.

I have not been.

I would be interested to go, depending on what the music was.

Well, I just saw that Backstreet Boys are playing there right now.

I'm just back.

I'm out.

And I thought, well, that's fun.

And then I thought, I wish the sphere was right here.

It's only a 45-minute flight, though.

I know.

But that's something.

Go from Burbank?

Who's going to watch my kids?

Exactly.

I know.

That was the first night we'd ever been away.

Wow.

And it was a little stressful.

Jamie wanted to go

when it was and might still be Eagles.

And I just was, it goes that.

I wasn't that excited about that, but I thought, yeah, I could get behind it.

You know, there's a good visuals and all that.

Yeah, but you know what?

I mean, I like some of those songs, but I don't think enough.

A whole concert.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so Abba Voyage, let me tell you.

Oh, we had a good time at Abba Voyage, didn't we?

That was incredible.

Didn't we, folks?

And I don't, where was that?

In England.

London, England.

Wow.

And I don't think any of you guys knew what it was.

That's the hologram.

I knew that it was.

You knew it was the hologram.

But I feel like Ryan didn't because he texted me 20 minutes before going, is it cool if I don't go to this?

And I was like, these tickets are so fucking expensive.

I was like, no problem, man.

And then, what'd you do?

Just the seat.

Yeah, I just ate the.

I mean, yeah.

You ate the ticket.

Oh, yeah.

He didn't go.

I forgot about that.

He didn't go.

He just was like, do you mind if I don't go?

But he was having problems.

Mental.

He was,

as always.

He was having tummy troubles.

I think he was.

He was having like real motion, like travel sickness.

Yeah, vertigo.

Well, that would be terrible to go to that.

Yeah.

Probably.

Actually, I don't know.

Maybe it would have cured him.

Yes.

The healing power of music.

That show was really incredible.

I was a little skeptical about how much fun is this actually going to be, but it was tremendous.

I've heard that from people other than you.

So it must be true.

So that's more than one opinion.

All right, we have to take a break.

Give it.

And guys, we have a famous website that everyone goes to every day.

Everyone knows this.

So there's a couple of famous websites out there.

You might know it as your homepage.

Right.

I'm not going to even list the other ones because everyone knows them.

But this one, of course, islams8.com is, it's so useful.

You can do so much on it.

You could do it.

Well, because the website itself is really interactive.

Yeah.

It's very intuitive, too.

How it works.

It is very intuitive.

And it's not AI.

No.

It's handcrafted by us.

Yes.

And you can find yourself going on this website and just looking up at the clock after feeling like you've only been on it for five minutes and the whole day is gone.

Yeah.

And your wife has left.

And the clock is as big as the 60 minutes timer.

Yeah, it is.

It's incredible what happens.

I don't like to say this because it sounds like bragging.

We wrote all the code for this website.

We learned to code.

Everyone is imploring this.

I heard people, so many people saying, I was like, okay, I will.

I will.

And I'm great at it.

I got into coding during the MySpace days when I make my page yeah yeah yeah and I never stopped you designed the top eight isn't that correct I did create I made it eight and you made it a virus that it went on everybody's MySpace yeah yeah yeah yeah um who was my top eight yeah myspace Tom great Mr.

Clean

um

Tony the Tiger

um

the band

Death Cap for Cutie

the band also yeah uh that's it and Dr.

Jill Biden yeah Yeah.

And I left a few blanks.

Yes.

And Dr.

Jill Biden before she was famous.

Yeah.

People didn't know.

When she was just Jill Biden.

She was just Jill.

I just knew her as Jill.

Yep.

With a little heart next to her name.

I just knew her as Jill.

Yep.

In any case, this website, there's so much to do.

Today, we're only going to talk about one aspect of it.

Yeah.

That aspect is called

voicemails.

Yes, it's a novelty dictionary website.

Yes, yes,

so much.

That's part of it.

Yes, it's a phone plan.

But today we're talking about voicemails because every other week or so, we're going to listen to voicemails that you leave, and we're going to respond to your questions and queries.

Queez.

And

what do you say we listen to one of these?

What do you think?

I'd like to.

No, let's do it.

We should do it.

All right, here we go.

Hello to the Threedom Boys.

This is a Threedom game.

Just quickly before I ask my question, I just want to say thank you.

You guys always

never fail to make me laugh.

And in this crazy world, your name dear means the world to be able to just

connect from it and laugh.

Thank you.

My question is:

identify yourself.

If we were still in the timeline where Soylent took over the world and we were only drinking Soy Lint for food,

what are the top three foods that you think you would miss the most?

Wow.

I know his name, but I don't know whether he wants me to say it.

Give him a fake name.

Okay.

Give him a name that rhymes with his name.

And then put it in pig laps.

Ariel the Mermaid.

Okay, Ariel the Mermaid.

It's a long name.

So his name's not Ariel.

Lariel the Mermaid.

It does rhyme with Ariel.

Okay.

But I don't know whether he wants to be identified or not.

Well, I'm going to spend my life

about this.

Yes.

But what foods would I eat?

Very Longfellow.

Oh, my gosh.

Do you have one that comes to me?

Let's each name one at a time.

I mean, the fucking first thing is pizza.

Pizza.

Really?

Are you a pizza aficionado?

Yeah.

How often do you eat pizza?

I don't eat it that often, but the idea that I could never eat it again is...

Oh.

That's horrible.

I would think that about pesto.

You love pesto?

I love it.

Really?

I love the pasto on pasta.

My mom makes pesto.

It's one of my favorite things.

I'm not a big pesto fan.

I love pesto.

I grew up in a red spot.

But I don't always like it when I eat it.

I just want my mom's.

Yeah.

What if you were rich enough, you could hire your mom to come out and be your own person?

Wow.

If I were rich enough to be able to have my mom visit me

once.

What if you were rich enough to pay your mom to be a personal chef who made pesto all day long?

She'd be really happy with that.

I bet she would.

Does she ever make it for you and like pack it up and send it to you or anything?

No, but she'll like always have it when I go home and then like it'll be made a couple times while i'm home i'm just remembering my mom used to do that when i moved to la really she would make you sauce she would she would make like she would make sauce she would make um uh pasta like put it in tupperwares and send it to me

frozen yeah you must have loved frozen wow how would she pack it in dry ice saved my life yeah

she would not pack it in dry ice it would just be thawed by the time it goes to you and ready to eat

yeah pretty much i mean not completely thawed it would it would still be maybe she shipped it like

priority

overnight or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow.

But goddamn, like so many times that was I would make that shit last.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So pesto for you.

Yeah, that's one.

Pizza for you.

I guess burgers for me.

Yeah.

Burgers.

We had a burger off, by the way.

We had another one of our famous monster smashdowns.

Well, how'd it go?

The other night.

Who won?

When Kai was here, our nephew.

Who won?

Frankenstein?

Yeah.

It was a three-way tie.

We had three burgers and it was a three-way three-way tie four of

the chefs voted

oh no that no one made them it was it was buying local burgers

honestly I like that more three-way tie and they're all from local chain or places that's because all of us voted for one of them in second place and then two of us voted for one in first

and another one in third and then the other two voted for the opposite.

I'm sure that the math checks out, but that made no sense.

What you said was nonsense.

I think it kind of makes sense.

No, no, no.

I'm sure the math checks out.

What you said was

gibberish.

Absolutely bananas.

You sounded like a bonobos monkey.

In any case, yeah, we had our famous burger Smashdown where

we tried three burgers.

And I think I would miss.

I used to think about

burgers.

Yeah, I would miss burgers.

I would miss dessert, though.

I think that would be the hardest thing.

Ice ice cream.

I think I would miss

chocolate.

Ice cream.

I would miss chocolate.

I would miss chocolate.

Chocolate.

I would miss cookies.

I would miss all sorts.

I don't think I could pick top three.

Top three sweets.

Top three foods.

Well, not chocolate.

If there's no chocolate, I'm very sad.

I have to have chocolate every day.

Every day.

Yes.

I have chocolate every day.

You're talking about.

Never mind.

Brain.

The baby born will die before this end.

You know, I, you know, what's funny, though, is.

Tazon Day.

Do you think he knew?

He did that on purpose that his name fit into the meter.

Tazon Day.

Tazon Day.

The music fan, they should have done that.

Tazon Day.

Absolutely.

Tazon Day.

The barbershop quartet.

I think if you're in a world where all you get to eat is soylent, though, and I think my father

had a G-tube for the last

two years of his life.

And I remember what he said.

It was very haunting.

Yeah, because

we were like, what do you miss

food-wise?

And he was like,

honestly, after a year, you don't even think about it.

And I felt like that when I was doing the crazy diet for my TV show.

Can I tell you something?

Yeah.

In my mind, I reversed it.

Oh, what was it?

In my mind, I had it that you'd think you would stop missing it after a while.

Oh, no, no.

It's it's you're so unaccustomed to I don't have to be haunted anymore.

You're so unaccustomed to having these foods that you no longer crave it.

And when I, when I was on the crazy diet, it was like, I don't even have the taste for it anymore.

I had that same experience.

And I can still get that.

If you can, if you can go just a few weeks without a thing, you will lose the taste for it.

Yeah.

And you'll be fine.

Like you can be around it and be like, I'm okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know.

That's so hard, though.

It is.

It is.

I don't want it.

Heroin, no problem.

After one week, you can be around it.

People talk like it's a big deal.

What other foods?

Any other foods?

Ice creams?

Pizza, ice.

My burgers.

Pizza ice cream.

Is ice cream one of yours as well?

Ice cream is definitely one.

I'm trying to think of like a snack thing.

I could live without chips.

Could you live without chips?

What was I going to say?

What?

Cheese and crackers.

Oh, cheese.

I fucking love cheese and crackers.

Like, how about Bri and a baguette?

Bri and a baguette.

What am I retatoui?

It was so good.

Nothing.

Oh, Bri on a baguette.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, when Twin Peaks came out, we would have Twin Peaks parties and do Brie sandwiches.

Is it connected to the show?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

And Jerry.

And that was the first time I'd ever, ever had Bri, and I had it because they were talking about it on Twin Peaks, going, like, smelling the sandwich, going, Oh,

this, Ben, Ben, this is the most amazing sandwich I've ever had.

It was really effective.

Yeah.

So I had Brie for the first time.

I was like, this actually is good.

And so I would have brie and butter and yum on a big baguette.

Yeah.

Delicious.

I love pizza crackers.

Did you say three?

I think brie, I mean, I'd be sad about it, but it wouldn't be my top one.

You said, I think it'd be, for me, I think it'd be

pesto, chocolate,

and I think I'll say, I might have to go with pizza.

No, fries.

I would go with fries.

I love fries.

I have kind of, I'll still eat fries, but they are not as desirable to me anymore.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like they're there, and even the best fries, I'm like, these are good, but I don't have the same kind of hunger for them as I used to.

It's really strange.

Can I say a, I guess, a genre of food?

Is that what I'm trying to say?

Sure.

Mexican food, just in general.

Yeah.

It's all the same kind of stuff.

It's how you put it together.

Yeah, I

I crave that all the time.

Yeah.

I would miss that.

And then margaritas.

Margie.

Can you not drink anything?

Is it all soy?

Listen, soyl and green wouldn't be all that bad if they were like, well, yeah, you get to like have wine and margaritas.

Yeah, I can wash it down.

Oh, no, you can get shit-faced.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

You're going to still need to get shit-faced.

Do they ferment the soil in enough to make it alcohol?

Oh.

is it just like those little like bars, like little blocks of food?

Like I've absolutely

seen the actual movie.

I've just heard it as a real yeah I'm thinking of like District 9 or whatever where they eat those like bars

like bugs.

Snow Piercer.

Yeah.

Yeah, that it's still absolutely insane

that they named that product Soyland.

That is the wildest decision.

Oh, because there's a real thing called that now, right?

Oh, meaning there's a a new product that they named Soylin?

No, it's been around for a bit.

Oh, oh, yeah.

And it's like a pouch.

It's like a meal replacement.

Yeah.

Oh, oh.

So you're saying it's wild that they named it after movie movies.

It is weird that they named it.

It's a movie that is like a Twilight.

The one thing everybody knows about

is people.

Yeah.

I don't even know what it is, but I know it's people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's such a strange, that's such a strange thing for us.

That's so weird.

There's a reveal that happens at the exact end of the movie.

And it's like, well, I don't need to see that.

You you know you know what it is right that's gonna be my third one is people

oh miseating people okay this is a reveal okay so okay this is a reveal okay so we're gonna have to cancel you okay so you're army hammer

okay allegedly that don't impress me much

Her songs are so weird.

Should I say that?

That don't impress me.

So many of them, like, so you're brand new

for her to talk.

Okay, so you're a rocket scientist.

That doesn't impress you.

I mean, that should impress you.

I mean, it should.

You should be impressed by that.

Yeah, you're dumb if science is.

We should respect science in this country.

Yeah.

In this house, we respect science.

She's a rocket scientist.

And it doesn't impress us much.

Do you think she had fun without science?

What if you're scared?

I can respect you without being impressed by you.

What if you had a sign that was just the Shania Twain lyrics of, okay, in this house, you're a rocket scientist?

White shirts,

men's shirts, short skirts.

In this house, these things don't impress me much.

Do you think she had fun on stage?

I went and she'd be like, okay, so you're a rocket scientist.

And everyone goes,

I think she had fun.

And she goes, I don't embrace very much.

And then they'd be like, you know who the rocket scientists are because they'd be leaving.

Yeah, yeah.

They're like

pushing their glasses up and up their tickets.

I can't believe it.

I thought you wouldn't say it this time.

One takes off in a rocket, tearing up their concert tickets like they're at the racetrack.

Yeah.

And then they're saving them in a little box and they're just say ticket on them.

Well, person that rhymes with Ariel.

All right.

Thank you so much for your question.

Thank you.

Yes, we do appreciate it.

There are safe words.

Push it to the limit.

It will hang up on you.

There are safe words.

There are fail safes.

There are dead man switches.

There's all kinds of stuff in there.

We had a ball right now.

We loved it.

We had a long weekend.

We were laughing our house.

We locked ourselves in a cabin for a weekend.

It was hysterical.

It was so funny.

We didn't have any food.

No.

No, we didn't need it.

But we locked ourselves in.

We ate megabytes in gigahertz.

We ate our computers by the end of the whole thing.

It was great.

Anyway.

We survived on friendship, and we present to you at Hagclaims8.com.

That's intense.

I hear you, bro.

Yeah.

Anyway,

goodbye.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Our healthcare system is broken in so many ways.

We have a healthcare system that's supposed to be taking care of people that is making it literally more difficult for people to put food on the table.

So this season, we'll dive into the challenges headfirst while also thinking about how we can find a better way because we all deserve deserve better.

Uncared for season three from Lemonada Media, available August 6th, wherever you get your podcasts.
