This is a HeadGum Podcast. walk in the room yeah no that and what that's what i'm getting to is that it ended up being
more of a stupid home okay they say that you can program the name that you know that you call your
smart home to get the response you that you can program any name you want but try getting the name
bringer bread because because what happens is they go did you mean benjamin and i
go no actually i'm mad at benjamin right now i want bringer bread and they'll say did you mean
gingerbread and i'll go no actually no that's kind of close to graham crackers which my friend and i
are in a fight about right now so can you just do bringer bread and this and this smart home oh and by the way the color options on the
lights are so limited close to graham crackers to me what isn't the flavor of graham crackers
basically like a gingery type flavor well am i crazy you can make a gingerbread house i guess
with graham crackers i think people do if you're one of the poorest people who ever lived
that's me or i guess i don't think it's worth i guess the money that i make and i'm not going
to say how much it is but the money that i make to me is better spent on helping people specifically other
young white harvard writers looking for a break
that's a more valuable pursuit than like having like the best gingerbread house that looks so
good with the realist gingerbread when i can slap
a couple of graham crackers and some toothpaste out there and it's gonna pretty much look the same way
so you said you're ordering your house to do like what for example i want the lights to all
change color when i come in the room i want them to go absolutely crazy and it's like freaking studio 54 up in this
piece okay um i want a song to play whenever i leave the room that's like a sad song about like
missing me and how they wish i was still there probably the like um puff daddy's talk about how how um biggie is his friend
has has passed away yes um uh or maybe the one from the fast and furious movie about paul walker
so like basically i come into the kitchen i'd like open up the fridge. I'd decide that I'm not actually hungry. I'd close the fridge.
I'd walk out.
It goes like...
And see you again.
Yeah.
By Wiz Khalifa.
It's been a long road without you, my friend.
Featuring Charlie Puth plays.
And I'll see you again.
And so that would happen all the time.
Speaking of opening the fridge,
when I open the fridge,
I want the fridge to say,
Hi!
Hi, Sean. uh speaking of opening the fridge when i open the fridge i want the fridge to say hi hi sean but you don't get as far as any of this because the house just says did you meet yeah well i'm i've spent the whole time setting up the name so i'm not getting into these menu
options why i mean what does your smart home do? This guy. My smart home...
Stupid home.
Sorry?
Stupid home, right?
No, my smart home is actually really smart.
I was smart enough to give it a normal name, John.
So I say,
What's up, John?
Can you help me get this plug into the wall?
My hand hurts.
And John's like, absolutely.
And kind of sucks.
Starts sucking on the... It kind of just starts working.
Starts sucking on the nodes.
The nodes in there.
And he says, don't mind me.
It's really close now.
Tell you what.
Let me sort of...
Let me shoot these wires out a little bit more.
The wall wires.
Yeah, that's actually sick.
That's really nice.
I don't always want to go in the shower to get clean.
Sometimes I just want to keep watching TV.
So I'll be like, bring your bread.
Shower time.
over here bringer bread shower time and what i'm hoping is that because like you know i've got obviously the um sprinkler system set up around my indoors for what i'm cooking and i want and i
want the um oh there's my wife are we on cam for this nope yeah um and what i want uh
is for it to just start scrubbing me and for something i and i don't care how they do it but
some like basically like glove on a spring to shoot in off the wall with like a rag kind of
scrub me around a little bit but it's you know i i'm not even getting there
because it doesn't know what bringer bread is and mitra what does your house do and who are you
hey um my house is analog um so yeah so my house is throwback retro i love it i dig that about you and also when they try
to siphon your data and use your data on like how if your house is like hot or cold
yeah to be like oh she likes it to be cold like when it's time to like torture mitra for her information, we will burn her.
We'll make it hot.
Yep.
They don't have any of that information. Okay, you can't have that information.
You can't have it
because I keep boundaries with my home.
If my home were to ask me what I would want,
I would lie.
Okay.
That's interesting.
Yes, that's a strategy
that I have been employing a little bit
with Bringer Bread,
who for now
is not named that.
Yeah.
And how's it going?
I'm not a great liar.
That's nice.
Meaning like, yeah, I, you know, I practice radical honesty.
Are you a bad actor or do you have a good heart?
Okay.
I don't think it's either.
I think it's just coming up with the correct lie
like i think i can sell what i'm saying if i could just think of something to say that wasn't true
so you're a bad improviser but you're a good actor i yes i think that i think my acting is actually fucking awesome yeah and people really want to see it but in terms of like
the material that's generated i work much better with a script than like when um right now right
now his name is binja bing but i will say he will say like what temperature would you like
and i'll go like i can't tell him because he said like, I don't want to get tortured.
And I'll say like soda.
And,
and then he'll say,
I'm sorry.
I didn't get that.
And I'll say like,
Oh no,
actually I'm going to the store and I'll leave.
I won't come home all night.
Cause I'm so embarrassed,
you know?
So I'll like, I'll sleep in the park or something
because I don't want my smart house
to confront me about what I'm just hoping
that enough time will pass that when I come back...
Kill it.
You should kill it.
You have to kill your house.
I know.
Eventually, we all do, huh not why well my house can live my house is my i've got an analog house as long as you have as long as you live in an analog
space so you can live in an analog watch you can live in an analog purse you can live in an analog
house whatever analog you choose as long as it can't ask you questions hey i tell you i wouldn't want to live in an annabelle house you see that doll she's fucking
nuts dude she's out of control she's fucking grabbing people and hurting them i do not like
annabelle i'm sorry i know like whatever that might not be popular, but I don't,
I do not want that.
Yeah.
In my house.
No.
Yeah.
And we noticed that.
And we noticed that how Chucky's getting a free pass and all this.
Yeah.
Are we noticing that?
Yeah.
Chucky's getting a free pass.
Wow.
I wonder why.
But Chucky,
Chucky probably makes much more.
Yeah.
Oh,
but Annabelle's crazy
yeah chucky's just chucky's just you know he's gotta be tough he's assertive chucky's
just like chucky's just direct he's a direct communicator but annabelle's
oh annabelle's shrill annabelle's shrill annabelle's obnox. Annabelle's shrill. Annabelle's obnoxious. Meanwhile,
Chucky's hilarious.
Annabelle's a whore,
but Chucky's just
sowing his oats.
Yeah.
He's got a raw
sense of humor.
No,
look,
I'll take it on the chin.
That's true.
I had one other way
I could go with it.
I did go with Annabelle House.
I also was,
and there's maybe nothing here,
but Analog Cabin. Analog Cabin, sure. Yeah. What was that? with it i did go with annabelle house i also was and there's maybe nothing here but analog cabin
analog cabin sure yeah what was that that's okay i got a little i think you chose the right one
yeah because i didn't know what else to do after that yeah we had that amazing sort of tear about
the other one the chucky thing you yeah you two got into that and i sort of jumped on
maybe it was wrong choice for me to jump on because really i'm the target of it i should
be like defending you know my my choice to say annabelle was crazy we could take it again
matri who you didn't say who are you who are you this week this week um i'm returning guests
to hollywood handbook for the first time since 2020 2019 fan favorite
fan favorite one of our most requested guests i believe that when i see it believe that when i believe that when i come
on the pod again but you're here right now and i refresh now refresh my memory you've done the
podcast before yeah yeah two yeah one to joel to promote our pilot podcast for earwolf that then became our podcast for earwolf um and then once
solo uh to commemorate the time that uh haze and i did uh love it or leave it together
that's right we were just so excited we just like we just had to i remember us walking out
and being like are we just gonna like not talk about this yeah like we gotta talk about it
leave this here we're not gonna continue the insane momentum
that we got from i know the the the base of that show loves me and wanted me back and told me
they were nice to me you did a pro version to mitra i did do a pro version wow overstayed my
welcome the scheduling on on love it or leave it is nuts i haven is nuts. I haven't been able to work it out with that crew over there.
Getting me on there, which sucks.
It sucks because it's mutual admiration society.
We both want to get involved with one another.
And it's timing know especially with the diseases
oh it's covid yeah podcasting has become impossible so much more difficult to schedule
it's become really just a nightmare uh but i would do i would probably go on there and um
but I would do I would probably go on there and maybe not
do as well as you Mitra but I think
I could bring something they hadn't
seen before I think you'd kill
you think so
well I guess we'll find out what would it be
like yeah what what kind
of stuff are they doing
well you could talk about like today's
news and then you know perfect
quips about that perfect about like today's news and then, you know. Perfect. Quips about that.
Perfect for me.
Today's news.
Yes.
Live in the moment, right?
Yes.
Never look back.
And then you could talk about sort of something more specific about that week's news.
Getting into the granular, right?
Yeah.
And then probably some sort of interview
or like sketch with a celebrity figure
or politician.
Yeah.
Yeah, we wish.
Think Adam Schiff.
And then a game probably.
Or two. Sweet. How do you think you would no more than no more than
seven games how do i think i want maybe two no more than like seven eight ten games
i think i could do well at the games, at least eight of the 10 games.
My hand is hurting me, so that would be a problem.
Oh, carpal tunnel?
Cubal tunnel.
No.
Close.
Cubal?
Cubal tunnel.
Are you saying cue ball? Cubal tunnel are you saying cubal cubal tunnel yeah it's it's pool player fatigue yeah
okay cubal tunnel yeah i got a fucking sledgehammer of a break i send them things this is the recoil caroming off one another yeah it's it's nasty recoil
by people put in earplugs when they see me walk into the pool hall man yeah it's gonna be loud
it might get really very quite loud and so you know uh obviously i get it i get into these big break contests and uh
ultimately it's just it was too much on my damn hand and i got cubal tunnel it's brutal
it's not good but who are you what are you doing well i'm in an i'm in a pretty much empty room

Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.
Violin.
You remember that song?
No.
The shades go down.
It's really good.
Check out homework for today.
Check out Pearl Jam. The song is called Daughter.
The room they describe at the outset of the song is very similar to the room. The whole
situation is a lot like what's going on here.
Or podcasters.
If they wrote that song today, she would be a podcaster.
Do you identify as a podcaster first?
Yes, that's what's on my license.
Do you not know daughter song?
I don't know daughter song.
I've not heard daughter song.

Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science-backed language learning app that actually
works. Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really
help you speak the language. And the question that I always always get people stop me and they say like
hey i like i i trust you i know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you
really use and care about but there's one language i'm trying to learn and that's body language
so can babble teach me body language? Yes. Babbel now has visual in-person lessons. Part of their quick
10-minute lessons that they do for other languages, handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help
you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks. Babbel is designed by real people
for real conversations, and that includes body-based conversations what does it
mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around at the door and they take
their little index finger and they kind of like draw it towards them they're pulling it what does
that mean does their whole finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something. They're trying to pull down the spider web.
Yeah.
But I've seen this too after a lot of dates.
And I need and have needed something like Babel to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger?
Because it looks like an emergency.
I know i was supposed
to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've
got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle
and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost
and they're really aggressively
like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to drive get out of the car yes or just do it out
the window as i'm going that's what i've been doing dangerous yeah but some of these very subtle
body language cues have escaped me and many listeners i. Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real-life situations, which I have all the time,
and delivered with conversation-based teaching so you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world.
Studies from Yale, Michigan State University, and others.
Can't feel good to be others there.

before i found out how much it was costing yes that they intended to send me by the way you'll
this will shock you 54 dresses if i did not cancel and i you know i think oh that one's got an end
point by like dress 14 15 i think it starts to become clear.
Like these aren't the dresses.
Oh no.
They were not from the movie.
They didn't resemble anything from the movie.
They were not, they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear.
And one of them was a dressing.
Yeah.
One of them was a, was a vinaigrette

of 720 a year with over 500 million dollars in canceled subscriptions and that was i mean just
to be fully transparent that 500 million was most of that was the the dresses well yeah i mean you're talking about hollywood

yeah that was costing me a lot a lot a lot stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your
unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash the boys. That's rocketmoney.com slash the boys.
Rocketmoney.com slash the boys.
Not really.
No, this was years later.
Okay.
So that had nothing to do with.
No, I think it was just interesting that like he was there,
even though it's not his dog
and they were divorced and you know.
Whose dog is it?
My mom's.
Oh, wow. Yeah, we felt really felt really bad yeah women can have dogs Hayes
it's like one of those puzzles right with the doctor whose dog was it the doctor said I can't
operate on this dog this is not your dad's dog your parents are divorced and who's driving the car whose was the dog
um yeah that was a big mess what's the dog's name gizmo okay no reaction
well great straightest faces not even a blink short for gizmodo no i wish short for vox more like it also another time i um was getting
cookies off a spatula and they were stuck off of a off of a cookie sheet cookie sheet yes they were
so i used i was using a metal spatula and i shoved the spatula under the cookie so hard that i sliced open my thumb um and i had
to get stitches all down my thumb ew you probably can't see it well yeah you won't be able to see
the scar no we can see it that's let's just grab a beach towel imagine sorry i do want to get to
the messy thumb but imagine like being at someone's house for dinner and like their dog is like chewing
something or something and they're like vox short for vox lux portman vox media
dude stop slate their slate
vulture gawker okay so your thumb was fully messed up yeah with a spatula i wasn't really
listening it you cut it with the spatula cut her thumb i listen i listen so you don't have to
the story was all over the place she's she's lying it's true she said she was taking the
cookies off the spatula then all of a sudden there was this cookie sheet that had like been
nowhere to be seen earlier now that's what the story's about then it's like i shoved the spatula
so hard it cut my finger but it's like what was providing the resistance like none of it
what was providing the resistance like none of it the story changed so many times that i think we can just move on yeah the first story wasn't really about a mess
and so that's why i can i can see why she would be like okay well now now i have to make up a mess
yes that was this was messier this was messier for sure. But it's like, I guess when we said mess,
and I fault us, the assignment wasn't clear.
We wanted to hear about a messy mess
and not necessarily just like,
hey, is there anywhere you think you could score some pity points?
Some internet pity points?
Well, everyone in both of those stories healed.
So there's nothing really to pity.
But the trauma remains, does it not?
Yeah.
That's true.
You don't think when your dog hikes.
No one ever really heals from anything that ever happens.
No.
It's all the same as it was at the beginning nothing ever gets better fresh trauma
there's just so many layers of it that some of it gets pushed down further and it's not as
impactful because you're just now you're dealing with whatever just happened to you yeah for me
it's this podcast this now has made me feel less bad about when I was embarrassed in front of my smart home.
Kevin, do you want to talk about your big mess?
Sure.
I flew back from Washington, D.C. on Monday.
And plane ride rides going OK.
No complaints over here.
I just order one orange juice with ice.
All of a sudden I'm falling asleep and like kind of shake a little bit.
I think I was having that dream where I like a car is coming toward me and I like wake up right before it hits me and i knocked it all over myself
gets all over my navy blue pants and it it turns bright white looks like lotion all over my legs
and then i have to sit in it for the whole flight and then i walk to the i go i'm at la you also had a lot of lotion
on your legs is that oh yeah but that was i guess i blended in a little bit but when i was walking
out then at the airport it was like way more white stuff on my pants like then you would normally
have leaving a plane kevin if you had i just want to say plane. Kevin, if you had...
I just want to say this.
If you had...
If you're on a plane,
the plane is shaking around and all this stuff,
and you're falling asleep,
and you had an exciting dream on the plane.
You can just say that.
I guess I would ask that we got that version of the
story rather than the version that you came up with a month later to say to say to people about
what happened on the plane again we weren't there so we don't need to know any version of it never
ever ever be there it goes without saying that i wasn't there. So I wouldn't ever ask you any questions about this. You don't need
a cover.
But if you want to tell the story, I think I would
prefer to just hear the real story.
Minus, obviously, some of the details of what was happening
in the dream.
I was
on the plane.
You were just in orange juice for the whole
plane?
The flight attendant goes down the rows. Just orange juice for the whole plane. The flight attendant goes down the rows.
Just orange juice for me with ice.
I take a big sippy.
Sugar spikes my ass.
And then what comes up must go down.
I fall asleep hard.
I don't even make it to the second sip.
Wow.
And then that dream starts again.
Sweet.
I'm dreaming.
I'm dreaming.
The beautiful lady sitting on the car.
Hey, Buster.
I wake up creamed.
And so the...
Yeah.
She became Buster.
Yeah, you were. She was correct. At Buster, I were she was at buster at bust i woke up
mitra i'm sorry for mentioning your overalls before thank you yeah do you want to talk about
the painting behind no you want to bring it over you don't want to talk
about that i'll bring the painting mitra please bring it over okay hold on i love to study uh
oh my god oh my god big trips He almost completely fell over and died.
This is their first time getting out of a chair.
Guys, Mitra died.
What would we do if we're recording a podcast
and Mitra just disappears below frame
and we have no other information?
We'd definitely have to call 911.
But we don't know where Mitra lives.
So what will we do or say?
Say the most beautiful girl in the world got hurt.
Because Witt is recording a podcast too,
so I don't want to bother him.
No, absolutely not.
I know that he's in the same house,
but I also know that you don't want to get a phone call
during your podcast.
No.
And also, like, if he gets it and I don't want him to like put me on the podcast.
I don't,
I actually don't like when people do that.
Pull people into the podcast.
When like I,
if I get a call from someone who's like,
and I'm like,
oh,
they're probably doing a podcast and they want some of this,
like some of what'm like, oh, they're probably doing a podcast and they want some of this like some of what
I have to offer, but they're not
going to tell me that I'm on the podcast. It'd be
sprinkle magic dust on the
podcast. Yeah, I actually
don't like that. So I probably wouldn't call
wet. I
would call the police and say
you're saying that I should say the most. So
the most beautiful
girl in the world just fell down
yeah hello police an angel is missing
and and would you say anything about the painting yeah well i'd go through i'd have to explain
like how we got to the painting stuff.
Even though it would make you a little bit culpable because you ask to get the painting.
So you accept responsibility.
Yeah.
And I'd have to make something up about like, I would definitely not say to the police that
I mentioned the guest's clothing before.
Yeah.
The police would be like, like okay do you have a description
of what she's wearing and i go no i've actually never described what she's wearing
how's it come up and i guess we would have to wait on the podcast for the police
to come and i guess we'd have to vamp, we would have to spend all that time.
We can't release an episode that's just us silently waiting
for the police to show up.
I'd have to talk about a second messy experience.
No!
Please don't.
Please.
Not to be rude, but please don't.
The first one was enough.
I wouldn't.
The first one was so...
Hypothetical.
So crass.
I hate that shit.
Where'd the painting go?
It's over here.
Can we see it?
Why'd you put it all the way over there?
I can't see it at all.
Yeah, here it is.
Oh.
I really can't see it.
What is there to miss?
It's right here. It's not really in the frame and
the light is so bad the light's behind it now it's too close now it's too close
do you just ask a lot of your guests to hold up something heavy while the podcast is happening
my god not again
i'm so sorry i can't believe i have to figure out something to tell the police
instead of that too
I didn't know it was that heavy
first of all it was really far away so it actually looked
really small
I'd say when our guest is in the traditional
uniform of the working class
yes we may ask them
to do some kind of manual task
all right that's fair i'm humbled thanks boys
kevin hey gang are they still on are you guys still on your wolf show me yeah yeah yeah what's
up over there how's it been has anybody been asking about us yeah
yeah it actually takes us a few hours to do the podcast every time because we have to have a
meeting with so many people at your wolf because they're just trying to get us to get you guys back
oh yeah it's boring it sucks otherwise over there now oh god it's a lot of like strategizing for how
to get you guys back and then you know talking about
like other shows that have a lot more listeners than us and then eventually we get around to
record the podcast wow oh my god that sucks yeah i heard it sucks ever since because of that

Only murders in the building.
Go.
So I haven't seen that show.
From what I can gather, that is a show about Selena Gomez,
Martin Short, and Steve Martin.
And they are in a building where there are murders. And that's the only thing
that happens in that building.
So every day another murder.
They're trying to solve the murders.
And you know there's going to be some laughs.
Wrong.
Wrong.
That's not what's happening.
They're three friends.
Yes, they live in a building.
Yes, there's murders in the building.
That's not the only thing
that happens in the building. But, there's murders in the building. That's not the only thing that happens in the building.
But they have a true crime podcast, and it only covers murders that took place in that building.
Is that real?
Yes.
Really?
They start a podcast together.
And that is what's going on.
So it's not that there's only murders in the building.
It's that it's only murders in the building.
It's that it's only murders in the building.
Only murders in the podcast is what it should be called then.
No.
Only.
No, no, no.
People are all saying it wrong.
Everyone is saying only. Well, I guess they're kind of saying it right
uh no i only murder saying it wrong they're saying only murder
they're saying only murders of the building but it should be
only murders in the building so he only murders in the building. Yeah, that's better.
The building.
I mean, because basically they all live in New York City.
They all live in New York City.
The building's a huge character.
It's called the Iconia or something.
It's a very big building.
And they live in New York City which is a
city that forces
you to binge Dateline so you can figure
out how not to end up on Dateline
and
would you say it's Lynchian
the show itself
or the city
the city's Jane Lynchian
the performance is everything.
It's tough, but you gotta laugh.
It's Jane Lynch meme and she's saying,
I'm going to make a show that is so funny.
I'm going to make a mascot that is so random.
That is so Netflix.
Jane.
I saw her.
Was it?
Wait, was it?
We saw her together.
At the Weird Al show.
At the Weird Al show.
Yeah.
I saw Topher Grace a couple of weeks ago.
Okay.
Where?
Seen Topher.
Yep.
Restaurant. Where? A table away.
What restaurant?
Al Aqua
in Atwater.
So that's the restaurant that only serves
water, is this right?
Atwater?
Atwater?
Now I've seen everything.
So it's
a whole restaurant, but you can only get
water. What's it cost a billion bucks
basically yeah and yeah toffer grace was their table away and i basically couldn't focus on
anything else it was my uh first uh it was my first restaurant dining experience
in months and toffer grace was there and I short-circuited
Topher yeah I guess uh maybe enough time has passed to say that one of my first LA experiences
was just on a walk with an actor who had asked me to meet him for lunch and then he got a phone call and said sorry I have to take
this and then went hey
Topher what's up
like had a really
loud phone call and then ended up
like
that's Topher Grace
no I only
had one guess so that just happened
that's huge we saw we saw jane lynch at the weird al show right
saw jane lynch at weird there was a bit of an issue or something a bit of an issue with her We saw Jane Lynch at the Weird Al show, right?
Saw Jane Lynch at Weird Al. There was a bit of an issue with her ticket, it seemed like.
Yeah, something was wrong with her ticket
or there weren't enough tickets, maybe.
Yes, yes.
And they were working on resolving it,
but maybe not as fast as we would have liked.
Yeah, that's right.
Not VIP enough. maybe not as fast as we would have liked yeah that's right vip enough i you know i'm sure
some wires got am i right she had maybe brought her son and they didn't know that it was going
to be a party of two and they were like well miss you're very famous your son is not yeah
so we are going to get the second ticket a little slower
your son is one of the least famous
people ever
shots fired
Jane Lynch's son
is famous person ever
dot com he's typing right now
his own face came up
slammed the computer closed
oh sorry I'm getting a phone call
Topher
Topher
Kevin did you see anyone
famous recently?
my grandpa was
Jane Lynch's principal
he was Jane Lynch's principal and i
she did in high school and uh she did uh comedy bang bang and then when she left i said hey my
grandpa was actually your principal and she said what's his name i said his name and she went that
wasn't it and then left and uh so my she remembered the principal's name yeah wow and it wasn't your grandpa your grandpa
lied and then i stood there stunned she's like you know i trust her she spent so much time at
that high school she worked there for a long time that might be why but then my grandma sent me a
long letter with like yearbook photos of Jane Lynch and stuff
to prove that it was true.
But that stuff was true.
And you had to go back to her.
You should have given that stuff to us
so then when she's waiting for tickets at the Weird Al show.
Slide that in.
Well, maybe send it far and wide
so everyone has it at the ready.
And then if anyone runs into Jane Lynch,
they can be like, you were wrong years ago
Kevin's going to Scott and being like
Jane Lynch was so funny
you should have her back
like next week
really soon
he's holding
a huge book
look at all these emails
from my friends saying how funny
she was they want her back ASAP.
Kevin, these emails are all from you to yourself.
Come on, Kevin.
I'm sorry that happened to you, Kevin.
Thanks, Mitra.
It was probably the biggest spill, second biggest spill of my life.
That's the story I wanted to say.
So that's also not really like a spill.
Is anyone going to hold Kevin accountable?
I'm kind of
the Chucky of this story.
Kevin's getting away with it again.
He's getting paid huge
dollars to
behave like this.
Mitra,
