This is a HeadGum Podcast. You guys know how much we love water on this show. We talk about it literally every single episode and about the water that we have been trying to make ourselves. We basically have- Not trying to make. We've been making it. We've been making it.

We've been trying to perfect it. And it's not presently drinkable. Yes. So we have here, I'm really excited about basically like in a quite higher situation where like we have, we have a partnership now with Fiji Water. This is the number one. It's gonna get us so much closer.

Premium imported bottled water brand in the US. And they had basically come to this is like kind of the water that we were trying to first imitate and then top in success. So funny. We were coming for them and they must have felt us breathing down their neck and just said like, you know what, let's work together. We're more powerful as a team than as combatants. And I agree actually, because their water is drinkable.

It has a 7.7 pH, perfectly balanced. And you know, I'm not- Ours has a 700.700 pH. Yeah, so we were a bit higher. And then, you know, unlike the other two premium bottled water brands, whose names I will not mention, the two top ones, but you think, you probably know who I mean.

And one of them's us. And one of them is us and we, their electrolytes are 100% naturally occurring. Ours were 100% unnaturally supernatural. Ours were summoned inside of a pentagram, basically. These ones are from the earth. They have more than double the electrolytes of the other two top premium water bottle brands,

giving it the signature soft, smooth taste. It's like velvet. And we're can, we are being allowed to continue developing. PG one. There's not a non-compete or anything. It's not PG 13 and we've explained this obviously. Yeah. But like, it's not, it doesn't have that kind of edge, but it's not G either.

That's, yeah. It's a little bit, it's kids can have it, but you should be around them when they do. Yes. Fiji water is bottled at the source and untouched by man until you unscrew the cap. Their bottles are made from a hundred percent recycled plastic and they continue to lead the top preview bottle water competition on launching a hundred percent recycled plastic bottles earth's finest water and Fiji water and I have a tagline for them that you probably haven't heard and that they haven't heard and it is, feed me Fiji. Thanks, Fiji.

Hmm. Huh. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. It's funny. You know, like, you don't know until, like, until the song hits,

like, until it starts, like, you don't really know, like, if it is gonna be different than it was before. You know what I mean? This song tells a story. It's not until you're in the episode, you know what I mean? Because I was like, is it gonna be different? She's done all these things. How is that gonna affect the show? Will it affect the show? And the conversation beforehand is different.

Yes. But when the song starts. You don't know until the song starts. Before the song, you don't know. Yes, and it's been interesting to discover that it is different. It's very different. And the show is different. The show is different too. Yes.

You know, Cronenberg once described films as living cemeteries. Okay, so we are gonna do this. And I find that song is not the only vehicle for, as you said so aptly, Sean, for memory and for sense in that way. Song music can also be a cemetery a beautiful one Meg Ryan, you know, whoa What does she do for me? What does she do for my memory and also the body?

I'm thinking a lot of the body right now in terms of performance in terms of presence I just want to say really cute right now the way I'm... The body. My body is being cute? That's so crazy, I didn't even be cute on purpose. Really cute body, yeah. Exactly, you know what I mean?

You were just there, you were tapped in, you were present. So then I guess to circle back to me, which sometimes I find so hard to do. Sorry. But yeah, things are different. But they are the same in many ways, aren't they? Oh, sorry, I wasn't done with my sentence.

So people have been telling me that you have become horrible. Yeah, I've had a couple emails about it, which actually is great because I just love to have an inbox. Kevin, do you remember the end of my sentence? I just wasn't, I felt I was so close to being done. Couldn't hear it. Yeah, that's too bad.

Well, I can start you at the beginning. You were saying that Chromio told you to like go to the cemetery. No, Cornholio once said, yeah. Cornholio belongs in the seminary. In the seminary. Yes. Cornholio belongs in the seminary.

And as... And that's why he always keeps his head covered. It's easy to see. That's a joke. Shogg? Shogg? My name is Shogg? Shogg, yes.

Yeah. That's fine. We can be... As Shogg so aptly said. I don't get hung up on all these, you know, labels. Yeah, so that's good. That's good, because it means that you're, I'm always like, you're relatable.

We're grounded. You're relatable. We're real. You're cool. You're, you're kind of the people's princeps. I'm just like, You're kind of the people's princeps. I'm not even trying to be the people's princeps,

but at the end of the day, like, I'm just me. And you're the people's pimps. The people's Pinterest. He's the people's, I'm the people's Pinterest. You're the people's pimps. The people's Pinterest. Mm-hmm. I'm the people's Pinterest. You're the people's pimps. Yeah. Eps, as in Mike Eps. I'm the people's pimps, yes.

Yeah. Okay, I'm the people's pimps Eps. Yep. Sure. As in Mike Eps. As in Mike Eps. I'm the people's pimps Eps. Eps, as in Mike Eps.

Sure. It's not a long walk to make. Hop a skip even. But I have been hearing that you're terrible now. Yes. That we've been getting a lot of feedback. You said two emails earlier. I said, I'm the people's pimps. I'm the people a skip even but I have been hearing terrible now Yes, we've been getting a lot of feedback. You said two emails earlier

So I guess I'm just wondering how that's escalated from two emails to a lot of feedback Well, that's how many oh sure and and I'm also we're getting emails people are in the DM Can I get the levels check really quick those loud? and people are in the DMs. Can I get the levels checked really quick? Those loud, just check the levels. And it has been, look, it has been very special for us to learn about all your success from people. Nine, eight, seven, six.

About my own podcast. Mine are good, my levels are good. And hear what people are saying about it and everyone's saying, oh, I saw Iowa on the Hollywood Handbook podcast once and everyone, every single mention of it. Oh, you're welcome. Is that they saw Iowa on the Hollywood Handbook podcast once and everyone, every single mention of it Oh, you're welcome. Is that they saw you on the Hollywood podcast once.

Oh, you're welcome. That's so sweet. Not translating into people, not translating into people listening to the show. Can we check the level? I'm just not sure the levels were checked and that's not a knock on what you're doing and your work. I just wanna make sure.

You say things that get you in trouble on a different podcast. Thanks for not saying it on ours. Excuse me, yes. Well, that's on the same network at the time. So much fucking ink. And it's like, you couldn't have been controversial, inappropriate and disrespectful on our podcast.

We've never given me the platform. Excuse me. And it's interesting. I'm too, I'll say it, I'll say what you are, tall men in the industry who are employed, who are booked and busy and blessed even. And you are allowed, you invite me a, I'll say what I am, sort of small to average sized woman, depending on your vantage point,

on your podcast, on your space, you don't give me that. Can we circle back on that? I don't see you that way. Can we circle back on that? The way that I view you is just that you have a horrid personality that has metastasized over the past few months.

Do we think change is a two way street? It's like, it's as if you have. Can we consider that change is a two way street? It's like, it's as if you have. Can we consider that change is a two way street? Encounter the Venom symbiote. I used to come on this podcast. Yeah, you've been absorbed by the Venom symbiote. And we used to laugh, we used to joke. And I wonder if I could even find that episode,

if it's even, I don't know, behind a paywall, God forbid. Am I talking to, I am talking to Venom right now. To even listen to that original appearance. I came back. One of the paywalls. I came back and we hung out in the commercials. I would not even say that you came back. And every time I've come back, it's been a hit piece.

It's been researched. It's been dug up. There's been papers and files and references to besmirch my name. That's the verb I'll use. Here's what's interesting, Small Fry. We could possibly find- Advertisement, small to advertisement. Thank you,

depending on your vantage point. We could possibly find that old episode for you, but you can't find that old IO for us. You lost it. I wish, yeah. She's missing. I wish there were a paywall even. Because the laughs that we had. Oh, I would gladly, oh, I'd shell out the bucks. There's a paywall about money for me

They talk to my legal team tell you that much To get to old IO. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna talk to legal the legal team I gotta talk to your legal team legal talk to legal my legal team for the pay to For the paywall. get to Old Ayo. It's the PR team at Legal Seafood. The PR team at Legal Seafood. I just can't even like. So it must be Legal Seafood,

because you're being very fresh. And. Look at me when you say things like that. I do wanna talk talk about, I do want to talk about, shrimpy to average test. Depending on your vantage point. I do want to talk about the press that we've been out there doing. And I understand why it took you, Which we, sorry.

Why you took your sweet ass time to come back on the show. Okay, yeah, keep going. Because you're scared to actually hear the damn truth. Yeah, this is the one show you can go on where we are not going to follow the script, right? Where we are not willing to play exactly into whatever this narrative is that you've created for yourself. And we just want to talk to you, because we're all people. And what we want to say-

Some of us are on TV shows, some of us aren't. Who knows which is which. I think it's clear- I don't even know which one. I'm the one on the TV show. And pointing that out is so typical of you lately. You literally just, is that not, okay. And we've had Golden Globes on this show. Can we check the levels just one more time?

I can't make the case any lower. We've had John Hamm on this show. It's like, yes, we've had, like, there's been hardware in this room. This is not, like, new to us. But we've never had people who have handled it as poorly as you have. Okay, alright.

Despite every single, like we've done it out in the open for everyone to hear how much we have tried to train you on the press element specifically. That actually is true. It has been a disaster, you need to shut the entire thing down, you need to basically become the Grey Man. We gotta go dark right now. From a press standpoint. We gotta go dark right now.

We do have to activate Grey Man protocol and it's really freeing in some ways. Okay, elaborate. To just elaborate on what? There's nothing. The survivalist concept of the Grey Man? What do you wanna know about? Are there any, I mean.

Okay, I understand. I mean, I'll tell you this. The gray man wouldn't elaborate. Cause you wouldn't even see him. You may think you've seen the gray man, but you haven't. Because if you've seen him, that's not the gray man. Right. Right?

Yeah, okay. But it is, you know, simple things. Like? Well, not allowing yourself to stand out. Matching your pace, yes, to the other people on the sidewalk so that you're not seen as like a fast walker or a slow walker. High and tight haircut favored by military and law enforcement professionals. You know, just something nondescript is always advantageous.

You're going to want wanna cut the shipping labels off of all of your packages so that people don't know what you're receiving into your home. I do, okay. You may wanna have a trowel in your backpack in case you need to dispose of your waste. Well, I have a tote bag,

so does that also mean that I have to carry a backpack now? I just. What are we pushing around town here, tote bag wise? What's the label? It's for a bookstore in New York, Aon Books. New York, that's coastal elite. If we're gonna have a bookstore, we're gonna wanna go with B. Dalton.

Great, then that's what I'm gonna do now. Jon Hamm, okay, imagine Jon Hamm saying- I'm done giving things to you people. I'm done giving gifts. That's what we're saying. You need to activate great-ass verticals. We need to go down. The IOS Santa era is dead.

Let's hear about the beefing, please. And this is what you decided to say about the beefing. Right now. Let's hear about the beefing, please. And this is what you decided to say about the beefing.

And also, by the way, okay, so there's, she goes public with the beef and the show's about beef. Like this isn't like the most scripted thing I've ever. She's on the beef. What? And then she's talking about beef. No, the show's not the beef. It's a different beef. The shirt I believe says the beef. The shirt says the beef.

We're going based off merch? Well, this town. Excuse me. Nice new colorway, by the way. Don't wave this around like it's some piece of trend. Nice new colorway, by the way. You and your little cronies over at Vulture decided to take a direct attack at us.

Look at him. I think you're absolutely brilliant. I think your biggest challenge right now is to do justice to all the different ways you are brilliant. I'm so proud of you, okay? You couldn't see Mr. Bean with the Hubble telescope. He is on a different plane of existence. You couldn't see Mr. Bean with the Hubble telescope. He is on a different plane of existence.

Okay. That's coming from me. I'm so proud of you. You can't touch him. You're not on pace. Yeah. So, um, I guess one way to think about is like, this show is closer to smart lists than you are to Mr. Bean. Yes. Is that helping? Do you know what I mean? No, that's hurting. That is hurting. Like just in terms of like viability.

The way that I kind of walk through this world and through this industry and I think maybe it's also Hmm. I'm gonna stick with that sentence the way that I walk through this world and I think this industry is a path of my own You understand though. I it appears that I'm walking on an axis. That's similar to yours what I'm experiencing What the way I go through the world, if you could step into my body for one second, you'd die. You wouldn't be able to even to do the math that I do on a daily basis. Why? It's Terrence Howard's math. That's why. OK. And I have no respect for that.

Go on. Yeah, I thought it felt like an ending. It felt like you actually kind of. Well, it would feel that way to you, wouldn't it? Skinning your teeth out of that one, but. What's one times one? What's one times one? As much as I want. No, you don't know Terrence Howard math.

Zero. No, it's two. Don't come to me about Terrence Howard math. And you brought it up. And you didn't even know the number. And you brought it up. You didn't even know what one times one is. Well, that's fair. It's two.

Go back to school. Okay, now ask me again then. Well it's different now. This is the thing. It changed. Like a change from the last time I asked. It changed, if you study it, it changed. Yes.

I know, that's why I said what I said. Okay. I was eight steps ahead. I feel bad for you. I feel bad for you. Well I'm proud of you, so. I'm so proud of you. It's you.

Hey. For what? I'm really proud of you. They have skinny ass pants. It's just the way I'm sitting that makes them look skinny. When I'm standing up they look normal. They look good. Take it for a spin then.

They look good. Let me see. I'm sorry it's not a. All I do is lay words bare for you to have. A sleeveless leather puzzle effect top. I'm sorry.

I wish for world peace I wish I could go back to the young lady that was tweeting about having hemorrhoids all the time. I'd say, one day you will be correcting me on the pronunciation of loeva. I also tweeted about eggs a lot.

And I'll say, it wasn't worth it. Whoa. We need the tweets back. I have to delete them. No, we Mm-hmm. I have to delete them. No, we need them back. I have to take them down. They're somewhere. They probably are somewhere.

We need them back. I have to take the whole thing down. I'm operating under Grey Man protocol. I'm being mysterious. You can't make that trade. Letterboxx gonna go next, then the Instagram. The Letterboxx should already be... I know.

Be gone. They won't let me delete it. I reached out to them. That's actually true, I reached out to them. So what was that exchange? Walk me through the email you send and then what they say back when they forfeit you from deleting it.

I emailed them and I said, hey, feels like this is freaking me out. Hey guys, this has been so awesome. Hey guys, this has been so special. Hey guys. It's been really fun. This has been so special. Talking about movies and we all love movies so much. Everybody's normal. Well, I was trying to be old eye.

I was trying to tweet and pop my shit off, as it were. Yes. And then people started being weird. And so then I wanted to take away that weirdness. Yeah, so you said like, oh my God, it was so fun and funny. And so then I wanted to take away that weirdness. Yeah. So you said like, oh my God, it was so fun and funny. Like just like talking about movies and me like joking around, like saying stuff that I didn't even think.

And then like what I'm learning is like, you know what would be even crazier is if we just got rid of even the whole site. What if we just got rid of even the whole site. Like, what did that be like? All of it. Oh, it's so you want to really freak somebody's bean. How about everybody wakes up tomorrow and instead of letterbox, it's just like there's not there anymore. Well, my dream is to blow the whole Internet up.

Can I say that? That would be good. That's good for what you guys want. That is good. That's a good pull quote. That's right. There you go. Joe Biden's a dizzy bitch.

This is better. I mean, that's actually pretty well documented at this point. He's going. He's going. He's going. Whoa. Hollywood handbook. So, you know, like we do the show and like we're always talking about the ads and like

the and the and the products that we sell. And we were talking about Mack Weldon how much we love our you were saying you wear your I wore my silver crew neck t-shirt like days ago, I went from the beach to the boardroom in it basically. I was wearing it for a work meeting and then I also wore it to play basketball in the driveway. I was talking about how I wear my silver denim jeans. Yes, I wear Mack Weldon jeans.

I wear the silver, the Airnet underwear everywhere. I haven't busted out my polo yet. It's not quite time, but I think within the next like two weeks it will become a staple. And these are elevated basics that just work. They work in combination. And we said at the same time, peacocking is for the birds. Yes.

And it's just an inescapable idea when you're talking about Mack Weldon. And Kevin did burst out full on crying. Started like thrashing around over behind the recording unit there. I thought he was gonna pull out all the wires and just said like, how could you say that? Why would you bring that up?

Like- Because what happened, Kevin? Like, explain what happened. Peacock in my neighborhood die. And there's a lot of them in your neighborhood, right? Dozens. But not so many that one- That you don't notice when one is-

Falls over dead. Yeah. Sometimes around my roof, I say to Leah, Christmas come early? And that's not about the one when one died. I just want to make sure, because you were sat, you don't like- Just because they're on the roof,

if they came down the chimney I'd get it. Peacock Santa Claus. And by the way, wearing all red, that is sort of peacocking. And so- And a hat with a fucking furry ball on the end. And did this one have a name? No. Okay, but you have a name? No.

Okay, but you took a stab at it? Mystery from the game wearing a Santa hat to the club. And so basically what we decided is like, what better way to memorialize this peacock than to buy some Mack Weldon clothes at mackweldon.com. Let's honor the memory and let's honor the concept that peacocking is for the birds and say that like the elevated basics

that are offered at Mack Weldon are a great way to be comfortable, fashionable, cool, without putting too big a dent in the old wallet, by the way, very reasonable prices and high quality material. I wear the clothes. They don't wear him. What's the peacock? Just think of a name for the peacock.

Peter. Peter. Peter the peacock. So Peter the peacock, So Peter the peacock. You can go to mackweldon.com, get 20% off your first order with promo code the boys. That's M-A-C-K-W-E-L-D-O-N.com, promo code the boys and R-I-P to Peter shot with a BB gun by Kevin's wife because he was looking at them a little weird.

She caught me P. Keen. Rockabye money on my finance app. That's right, Rocket Money is back and they are advertising with us and there's a good reason, it's because we love their messy ass. These guys help us with the money. Can't get enough.

And I sang at the beginning, rockabye money, but I should have been saying bye bye money because I was wasting so much money with all these subscriptions and I was singing and some of the subscriptions were for music apps and I realized I don't need to have every single music app. And rocket money is the one that reminded me. And they said, why don't you change it to rock a high money?

Uh, rock a high money in the, in my, uh, big fat wallet, because I'm saving so much by saying hi to the money that I saved when they canceled the music subscriptions for a lot of those ones so that I only have one that I saved when they canceled the music subscriptions for a lot of those ones so that I only have one that I need. These fools and their messy ass will love the drama. They will even try to negotiate the lower bills for you. They actually like it. They want to have that conversation.

They're so messy. They want to get into it with every little pencil pushing geek on the other end of the phone that you don't have time to talk to. All you have to do is submit a picture of your bill and they will slurp it up with a spoon and take care of business for you and they'll even deal with customer service. They have over five million equally messy users that have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving up to $740 a year when using all the app's features.

Stop wasting money on things you don't use, you fool! Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash the boys, that's rocketmoney.com slash the boys, rocketmoney.com slash the boys. Whoa! Hollywood hamster! Still got it!

In the thick of the award shows and photo shoots and interviews that Debrie was doing last year, when she was feeling. How'd I stay grounded? Ketamine. When she was feeling overwhelmed, she had a conversation with a fellow actor, and she keeps his. Hit up the farrier.

How'd I stay grounded? Ketamine. Called my mama bitch. Smacked me upside the head. Love you, mama. She keeps his name a secret, but not his advice. He was like, just remember why you're doing this. Daniel Day-Lewis, we're having an affair. Remember the actual reason why you're doing this.

We're doing cat together. And it'll be fine. And it's bad. You couldn't say who that was, who gave that quote. I literally just said, listen to women. You couldn't say it in the magazine. Listen to women. It was Daniel Day-Lewis.

Yeah, we're doing cat. It was obviously Roberto Benigni. That's Roberto Benigni, that's not Daniel Day-Lewis. Can we talk off-court real quick? It's so Benigni coded. Why would you say that? I'm trying to keep that relationship private. It doesn't even say that you're in a relationship with the person.

Honey, then alter the language. I didn't mean a romantic relationship by just being in a friendship. This is even like you've changed. I can't even say things to you in regular speak. Everything is twisted, twisted, twisted. Twisters, the sequel coming in theaters on IMAX. We already did a teaser freezer for that. Yeah, if you like this, check out the Patreon.

Hey, you guys gotta go see the pro version. 100% less IO. Well, you don't freaking let me hang out anymore around for that stuff anymore. You don't invite me anymore like the way that you used to, to all these things and hang out. What the heck did we even used to talk about? We used to talk about what?

Club Penguin and Stupid. We talked about that Rebecca Hall movie. I know. I remember The Night House. The Night House. I remember The Night House all the time. That's what we used to talk about. We never talked about The Night House anymore.

We never talked about The Night House anymore. That's true. That's not us. We still talk about The Night House. We're still here, baby. You barely remembered the name of the movie until I just said it. so how can I believe you? But you didn't even remember that there was a movie.

I did, because earlier, Sean said Night, and I almost said Night House, but I thought no, no, we just did an allusion to a previous episode. Well, sometimes I listen back, sometimes I listen back, sometimes I listen back, yeah. Clearly only listen to your own episodes. No. No. It was her whole episode. Well sometimes I listen back. Clearly only listen to your own episodes. No. No.

It was her whole episode. Well, I was there. But wasn't I? Didn't seem like you were. Oof. Can't be true. Can't be true. I owe, I owe, I owe, I owe.

I feel like we got off on the wrong foot today. Huh? And I feel like it's 100% your fault. So I'm gonna give you a chance to sort of restart this whole thing. The floor is yours. No? Well, Kevin, do you wanna play the song again?

Sure. And you know the thing that is always, we're talking about championships basketball game, who remembers the show The Game on BET? And also The Game, the rapper. You've gotten better at this. The rapper. The kid comes, Hazen, Sean. Oh, oh, oh. Hollywood hit. You've gotten better at this. Well, I haven't any now. This is actually like showing real improvement. Somebody.

Just like extemporaneous talking and just like just coming up with something out of thin air like that. Yeah. That was clean. It was a clean idea. Generating, connecting things. That actually kind of fucked me up

because I remember you not really being able to do that at that level. Somebody's been working on their chops. So that's actually fucking sick. And who was it that was talking? Was that Ross Perot? I couldn't quite get a sense of what the voice was. I knew it was someone.

It was like a little, it was a little Perot inspired. It was sort of Cart, Carvey's Perot a bit. You left on the table, of course, David Fincher's the game. Uh, and I don't know if it was intentional. I don't know if you're saving it for the criterion closet. No, I was going to save it for the pro version. Mm-hmm. For us.

You're gonna do the pro version? Are you gonna? I could, maybe. I have a lot of taste. That'd be huge for us, you know what I mean? Pro versions on Life Support. That'd be amazing, yeah. Yeah.

Pro versions flatlining, man, just anything. Even a little dead cat bounce from an IO appearance could be pretty powerful. Hey, let me know. I got the new color way. I have a lot of taste, she says, of her hobbies, which include? Needlepoint, maybe? Scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking, they went with scrapbooking. Did you say needlepoint and they didn't want to Scrapbooking, they went with scrapbooking. Did you say needlepoint and they didn't wanna include that? I had my scrapbook with me probably, so. And? Watching movies. 3D sushi puzzles. That's not a hobby, that's one thing that I got and I did,

but yeah, I like playing puzzles with me. Needlepoint. Which includes scrapbooking and 3D sushi puzzles. Is that code for IV drug use? Yeah, cat. Okay, just making sure. I like your pants, don't pull at them. So much conversation around Casey's pants.

We're good over here. Don't worry about me in the pants, we're doing just fine over here. When the loose fit jeans first came up, it was appropriate, and I actually am guilty of participating. We're now tripling back to the pants in a way that makes me feel sort of protective

of my friend Hayes. So let me tell you what the show is and what the show isn't really quickly. The show is a free-flowing conversation that occasionally touches on mature subjects. The show is not, and this is the part that you wanna focus on, the show is not discussing Hayes' body and Hayes' pants ad nauseum

when he's made it clear that he'd like to move on. We do it once, and that's by design. Okay. That's, I mean, and what are we doing when we talk about the pants? Well, I guess just like with the reading of the article, do you know what I mean? Like that's something that some could say,

and I'm not saying me necessarily, I'm saying some, I'm sort of doing a thought exercise here, could consider the talking about ad nauseum. Sweetie. Just a thought, yeah, what's up, honey? What's up, honey one? What's up, baby cakes? As we went through this whole conversation,

people didn't even realize they were doing this, but they're hearing about the pants, they're signing up for the Patreon for the video feed. They're paying the $10 a month for the video feed. They need to see the pants. And so now they're here, hello, I'm waving to the camera, they're all here with us, watching us now.

Thank you for having us. They came to see the pants. Yeah. It's all, you're on schedule. Hey. They came to see the pants. In your house. Yeah. It's all, you're on schedule. Don't worry, talking about the pants. The more we talk about it. You are right on time.

The more we talk about it, the people who haven't signed up yet go, oh, well they're gonna keep describing them. I don't need to sign up. My shorts are really cool. Yes, that's what we need to be doing. We need to be moving to- Video feed that.

You honor me. Oh. So we're good. We need to be moving to video feed that you honor me So we're good like it's clockwork we're like we're just checking we're on time simply checking in so you don't like the 3d Sushi puzzle anymore. You've even I just got one It's not a hobby it's not my fault if the journalist is making leaps and bounds, you know what I mean? What kind of sushi? Big tuna. The big tuna.

Yeah, so basically it's a big tuna and you put it together. People paying for this. Is that a roll? No. Okay. It's like sashimi. It's like sashimi.

It's sashimi. Okay, that's what we were looking for, yes. Yeah, yeah. I got you. So say that. Uh-huh. And then say less. Oh.

Oh. I have like, I don't quite, nah, I think I have nothing. What was it like, say you, say me? No, it was like, say less. Like. Pay less. Yeah, like pay less, like. Say less, shoe source. I got my shoes at pay less,

but you got yours at say less. Yeah, at say less shoe stores is what I was working on. Not stores, source. Source? Yeah. Say less shoe source. Seems like the pro version is both, is experiencing both say less and pay less shoe source. Seems like the pro version is both, is experiencing both say less and pay less. Something there?

Something there? I'm trying to learn, I'm trying to grow. I'm trying to let you two, you know that I consider you mentors. I talk about you frequently. It's not my fault if it's being cut. People just aren't picking it up. It's not my fault.

This is the vibe I got about it. It's the stuff that keeps being edited out. It's all around this. It's not my fault. I only have so much influence. I really do only have so much influence. I find that hard to believe. And I try, I try, I try where I can,

but there are forces outside of me, believe it or not. Yeah. Well this is the kind of thing you could discuss actually that might be good for the show as well. Yeah. And talk about the way that you're being silenced by the big Hollywood machine. I've been waiting, I've been waiting and itching and begging and emailing Kevin. Sorry, am I talking to IO right now?

Or am I talking to Envy from Inside Out 2? In theaters and IMAX right now. IO's back. She arrived in a Kali Studio leather jacket and a blue baseball cap. And so what that tells me is you elected not to wear the hat pack hat to the center because it's not blue. But even if you had, whatever was on there is not getting delivered.

They're keeping the label away anyway. To the readers. What was on the blue hat? The blue hat was made by my friend Cam. So it was a hat by a friend. I wonder if you have any other hats made by your friend. Yeah. I have, okay, okay.

I view friendship as a one. But again, you wear two hats? I can't wear two hats. It just wouldn't have mattered. I can't wear two hats. That again, fault of the journalists. My feeling is that as I've watched your career explode, you're wearing so many hats, Io.

And now you're telling me that two would be too many? Not buying it. I don't need you to buy it. I just need you to buy tickets to Inside Out too, in theaters. In theaters and IMAX. And IMAX. As if that's a different thing.

Days after our- IMAX is a fucking theater. Days after our interview, I find a selfie of a Debrie making a ridiculous face on my phone. I have no memory of her snapping it. Can we see the funny face? I don't have it.

Just the face. She has it on her phone. But just the face. But also, isn't that very concerning? I know you're not making a new funny face. That you're reading that and that the journalist has no memory. Of you stealing her phone.

I guess journalists also has no memory. You mentioned your mentors. The way I view this piece is a cry for help of a woman who's losing her memory, still Alice. Still Alice. Still Alice, still IO. The byline is still Alice. It's by still Alice.

Yeah. It's by still Alice. Yes. Yeah. I talked about you ad nauseum. And it does say, when a Debra and I leave dinner, she clocks a woman nearby trying to take her photo. every turns and wags her finger. No, no, no, no sneaky photos Yeah, do you remember to come a Mutombo?

Decorate a kumbe Mutombo. Yes. No, no, no Decumbe brother Basketball player. Yeah to come back No, no, no, he would say. So that's sort of what I was doing, that was like a nod. But, I mean, still Alice is clearly confused, because you took a sneaky photo earlier in the dinner,

or so she thinks. Well, that was on her phone, and that was, I took it. And then you said, no, no, no, no sneaky photos. But you just did sneaky photos. You wouldn't do something so hypocrisy, would you? How could I ever do something so hypocrisy? I mean, clearly still Alice is like- She's misremembering this exchange as well. Even with you having acknowledged

that you did the do-coombay-boo-doombay. I want- There's still some element, yes yes of her fabricating this because I know you would never do so hypocrisy. If I ever to did so hypocrisy and even in the same breath as doing something so Dick Tracy Motorola, I would never, and that was a leap and I I admit it. And that wasn't my cleanest. But. Did Tracy Motorola?

I'm tired. I've literally been on two press tours at the same time. I come in, I have a spare second. I go, you know who I'll see? The original Trace amigos, my friends, my brothers in arms. Who's the Trace? You need to stop. Who's the Trace? Are you talking about Kevin? Who knows those Trace? In arms. Who's the Trace? You need to stop. Who's the Trace?

Are you talking about Kevin? Uno dos Trace, are you talking about Kevin? Cause I noticed you haven't thanked Kevin at all since you've been here. Which is sort of famous for thanking the assistants. And that's what Kevin is. I was alluding to myself. But turns out-

You're the Trace, amigo. Turns out that that's not true anymore, clearly, cause here I am under the damn headlamp, two bad cops beside me. It's head gum. Pronounced head gum. Throughout dinner, the newly minted stars hot takes include Still can't shake the Boston accent.

that Marshawn Lynch is going to win a Nobel Peace Prize one day. Someone who's famous for hitting. For smashing. If that's how you view what he does, that says more about you than it does about the Nobel Peace Prize. Hitting and smashing? Yep. He's also famous for funny quips. And so you think you want a Nobel Peace Prize for funny,

that's why you want, you want the Nobel Peace Prize to be about funny quips? I want them to do a new category. And you want him to get it instead of us? No, I want him to get it for something else I don't know what he's gonna get it for probably peace But definitely yeah him instead of you guys because this just seems is not giving peace prize This is giving actually. Oh, I do have an award for you guys the Nobel war prize

Excuse me. Excuse me. You are excused you Oh You are excused. Oh, thank you. Oh, you're welcome. Thank you, sarcastically he says. Because excuse me, for real this time, Nobel would not have done a war prize. So, shows to know what you know. Yeah, it does shows to know what I know. It does shows to know what you know. Doesn't it? Doesn't it shows to know what you know. Yeah, those shows to know what I know.

Those shows to know what you know. Those shows to know that, doesn't it? Doesn't it shows to know. About Alfred Nobel. Iowa Debris Updates is gonna have a field day with this. Oh my God. I remember when I first heard her on Hollywood Handbook. I wouldn't be so shocked to find out

That should be, you're gonna have to do it again. That would be a nice feature for pro. You can park in the parking lot. What do you mean? And then Sean can get you out. Say what you mean.

That was it. That you can park in the parking lot is a feature for, oh, if people, okay. If you subscribe to the pro version, you can park in the parking lot. If listeners subscribe to the pro version, they can park in the parking lot is a feature for, oh, if people, okay. If you subscribe to the pro version, you can park in the parking lot.

We'll have it, like we honestly will not know this. It'll sound normal, it'll sound like the rest of the sentence. That's good, that's good that you have that technology. Cause probably, I think when I first came in with you, you certainly didn't have that technology. No. Hey look, it's advancing all the time. It's beautiful.

And we're always innovating here. Yeah. You know? And he was kinda, he said, he said Simsie. Like he was like, he was kinda close. It was around the same area. Yeah. Some of the same sounds there.
