Starting point is 00:00:00 this is a head gum podcast is the song playing is the song playing songs songs happening right now the song's playing now it's going to it's hard in the new studio i don't know how to tell if the song is playing or not it's beautiful by the way who did this casey did you do this guys you don't know we've been struggling yes it's been really hard to um get anyone to do anything right at this and i am loving this and i have um certainly asked for it long enough but it's tough like do I love this because this is
Starting point is 00:00:47 good or is this normal and what we had before was like should I have expected this level of care from the beginning and am I in a way denigrating myself by even enjoying like what should be the bare minimum
Starting point is 00:01:01 right we got these great guests we got big guests big guests and it's uh the show's gonna be late because the scheduling was fucked up kevin do you want to talk about how fucked up the scheduling was schedule hey guys chef kevin her schedule was crazy messed up all over the place with the confirmation and emails and scheduling and rescheduling in the studio and the mics but we persevered and now the episode's coming out today and we're so excited and grateful yeah we're really grateful we've got please don't destroy got all the boys we've got
Starting point is 00:01:35 benji and marty johnny uh jesus jizo and but the fucking whole crew's here and i'm intimidated usually we have two people and one guest and we're kind of like the big boss but right now we are outnumbered and uh you guys stronger you could have your way with us yeah yeah no you could absolutely demolish us yeah yeah well thank you for hey please do not destroy us. Anything you want. Well, thank you for your knowledge. Hey, please do not destroy us. What do you mean? Don't. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:02:12 Please don't hurt us. Oh, no. Okay. I wasn't going to. I wasn't going to either. Yeah. Good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:21 You probably couldn't. No, I could. Yeah, but it's three of us. It's less than could we could beat the fucking shit so okay i didn't want to i guess i didn't want to talk about that at least not right away sure sure yeah i get like i i want to present a scenario we're gonna get into it because there are three yeah so i want like imagine an image that's divided into four areas and the four areas are cheeseburger yep hot dog yep yeah salami sure salami turkey turkey sausage and you see this image turkey sorry turkey sausage turkey it's all of it turkey burger link it's all of it turkey sandwich turkey salad turkey fingers hot dog turkey sausage
Starting point is 00:03:13 and all cheeseburger all hot dog but it's all salami but everything's too sorry yeah but then you introduce the concept of one gotta go okay and so mike the question i present to you is wid which effectively means what you did when you saw that what you did i'm gonna go ahead and knock off cheeseburger link okay cheeseburger link well are you sure you can't have it anymore if one's gotta go you can't have it anymore right am i understanding this yeah that is one got to go for the next 24 hours it has to or a couple of minutes what is it it has to go and we never talk about it no we don't ever again we never see it again no one else knows about it you know you eliminated it and the rest of the world forgets that it existed if you try
Starting point is 00:04:06 to explain it to anyone you get killed turkey turkey it's gone i would fucking get rid of that and that's all i know we said that before i want to make sure that you turkey hot dogs turkey salads turkey salad turkey fingers and as clarification is that just for the turkey quadrant or does that apply also to cheeseburger all cheeseburger okay so all the variants so if you get rid of one you get rid of you may all want to agree on one because now we've gotten rid of two yeah sliders sitters which is what I call the big ones. Turkey tacos are gone. We can each get rid of one for all time? So yeah, guys, we should team up on this.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I'm not changing my mind. One gotta go. It's turkey. I'm not changing my fucking stance on this. But where my head is at is that you could always There's always pepperoni
Starting point is 00:05:05 okay well let's find out john chill what chill sorry pizza with pepperoni on top yeah i don't care pepperoni for salami get rid of salami still got pepperoni uh-huh so i don't care what happens to me you guys are having a side conversation or whatever talk about what are you totally get conversation whatever it's totally cool I don't give a shit if I fucking live or die I don't care what happens to me physically fucking end me yes
Starting point is 00:05:32 I'm begging you one has to go right one of the turkey you but it's all fake it's like who gives a shit we're imagining it in the picture you made it's all fake like it's fake like right it's like who gives a shit we're imagining it in this in the picture you made it's right and i can see like you all like getting into it or whatever like it's it's like it's not real it's fun because you guys had this really funny debate you were all
Starting point is 00:05:56 like weighing the pros and cons and like it was like a rich conversation so it's like and it as an intellectual exercise it's fucking badass right because like you know you see a picture like this you get a group of funny guys and it's like dude the fucking quips are flying everybody just like it was like it can i say it was pretty electric yeah our responses to yeah no and i knew i mean that's why we wanted to do it like because we were like yeah this is going to be this like because we were like this is going to be this is the crew for like this kind of thing where like you at one point were saying cheeseburger and i mean i was dying like dude i was dying dude so it was it was really nice no it was
Starting point is 00:06:39 a good way to kick it off too yeah yeah yeah well. Yeah. Well, that was part of like Hayes's idea of like, let's get everybody comfortable and just get into something where it's like funny. No holds barred conversation. Yes. Like, so you guys talked about everybody weighing in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:55 So you guys were like, Hey, maybe we should start the show off. Like we split foods into quadrants and that'll. I don't want to get too much. I love talking about this okay i'm a process guy yeah i don't like to know what no it's cool it's cool because is it beats is it scripted yeah yeah how do you guys yeah it's a loose outline with some
Starting point is 00:07:21 lines we know we have to hit yeah yeah like i knew at one point i was gonna say i don't care if i live or die right that i was like i'm gonna work my way that felt rehearsed that felt rehearsed a little that and i knew it i i wasn't uh i wasn't in the moment performance wise i could have beaten it but uh yeah it's okay it was but we had the outline of like Hazel. Talk about the quadrants. Hazel. Hazel. Have we started? That's something.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Have we started? I don't know because they said the song played, but I didn't hear a peep. No, I didn't either. Is that a new studio thing? And also I said, is the song playing? Right. Kevin said it's going to play. So we don't know if it's played yet, Kev?
Starting point is 00:08:03 We can start whenever you guys are ready. Okay, cool. Let's start it up. to play. So we don't know if it's played yet, Kev? We can start whenever you guys are ready. Kevin said it's going to play and then he said it has played in the past. Yes. So it's like every song has played in the past.
Starting point is 00:08:16 But don't be singing it while if it is playing at the same time as you're singing it it can make people throw up. Really? I wouldn't want that. playing at the same time as you're singing it to make people throw up. Oh, really? Yeah. I wouldn't want that. It's physically overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Then we have to slap the red E on it. Can I bring something up? We have to put a T on it for throw up. Can I bring something up? Last night, teen throw up. I was on Instagram and there was a video Don't get us in trouble
Starting point is 00:08:48 No no no It's not about you guys What do you think of this I was on Instagram There was slow jazz music On stills from the original Batman animated show It was jazz music
Starting point is 00:09:03 What it would feel like can't be promoting this stuff can't be talking about this okay yeah yeah okay strike wise it's just strike wise that's fine but it's not fine yeah sorry it sounds like you have something really good but i just think cannot be doing this is like trying to stay kind of like okay okay but just take the information that you know right that i've already said it said what it would feel like to live in gotham and somebody commented this is fucking really cool but it would be it would be a fucking nightmare to live in Gotham. And I cried, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Yeah. Why would it be a nightmare? Oh, the penguin? The Joker? Oh, I don't know. Penguin's your neighbor? Yeah. Hey, trick or treat.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah, he actually does live there. What are you doing? Whoa. The penguin. And I respect the fucking strike. I love the fucking strike. Okay. yeah he actually does what are you doing the penguin and I respect the fucking strike I love the fucking strike but we need to be talking about things that fuck outside of
Starting point is 00:10:14 like television we need to be talking about it we can't be doing this it's like I need to I need to I'm so bottled up I've got a tv talk blue balls i mean we all do a little bit we all are a little bit suffering from that craving to discuss content and like thinking about living in gotham yeah i mean having a date with selena kyle
Starting point is 00:10:45 and getting my throat slashed open with cat claws it's a nightmare to me you know because i like order the wrong you got an appetizer like the wine she has to sip the wine and she asked for a little bowl to be put on the floor she's drinking the wine out of a bowl on the floor. I say miss using the back of her tongue to scoop it up into her mouth. We don't normally. Yeah. We don't normally drink out of a bowl on the floor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Right. I know it's I just wanted to bring that up. It's a good thing to think about. At the Gotham Grill, I've saved up all month to take her to the Gotham Grill. Like scrimping and saving.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Eating ramen. Because I want to go to the Gotham Grill. I want to impress Selena. And you go up and you go, can you not drink wine out of a bowl? This is my special night. No, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:52 You were going to say, can I get what? No, you go to the cashier. He looks normal, right? Go, hey, can I get a bat beer? Whatever they have in Gotham. And you look up. It's all bats. It's a whole bat.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Yeah. And it's the fucking penguin is taking your order and so you looked up the penguin works right yeah okay he's huge well the seats are so low in gotham the chairs are like against the ground the table legs are like it's like ridiculous really yeah it would be a night he's on his big like parade float tank which i guess he probably would be yeah you know he's like out in the world so then yeah he's huge penguin is yeah that's fucked up but we can't like i don't want to promote it but we have to talk about and think about some of this but it's questions like we have this time right are we using this time to develop our work are
Starting point is 00:12:56 we going to come out the other side of this yeah exactly the way we went in and it's where i think the one gotta go concept is like really can be very incisive can we take it out of right the context of these imaginary food debates which by the way still laughing about some of the stuff we were coming up with during that but can we put it in the real world and say okay we've got these three guys here do we need three oh like us one gotta go gotta go that's interesting okay now that is interesting your idea i'm starting to like the one gotta go out of the three what josh has meant like the the applying one gotta go because you're you're actually getting something which is like when it's like comedy stuff it's like one obviously
Starting point is 00:13:50 is pathetic like one person up there one's a loser one standing still on stage who are you talking to like what like yeah no yep no three is a disease it's also pathetic right two is the middle ditch and schwartz sweet spot right well you've got middle-aged schwartz okay uh let me think um steven marty oh steven marty martin and martin we got uh jake and amir yeah that is real and so since you did mention can we just get a mirror i do just for full disclosure since you are a fan i don't know how this will affect you but amir did uh refer to the three of you as please do not destroy yesterday without he didn't do the contraction yes he did not and so please do not destroy that's like he knows your stuff that's hard to hear that's really hard to hear don't really digging in
Starting point is 00:14:54 not necessarily but like it has passed he's not peripheral vision he's not hearing it spoken he's not reading it he's not typing it into a search yeah that's kind of walking past someone who's having a conversation about it yeah yeah yeah which is like that's how big this thing is yeah that amir is like almost in contact with him yeah but you got those two guys. What's other two guys? Penn and Teller. Uh-huh. Bingo! One of our bigger inspirations. Penn and Teller, for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Not necessarily comedy, but Bush and Cheney. Sure, there's all kinds of... Yes, and the dynamic. We had the heavy, and then we had the kind of goofball. Yes! I mean, it does work. It does work. No, it's so simple. It's an odd couple, not an odd thruple
Starting point is 00:15:46 yes yes yes ooh could I sell the odd thruple I think you could and we think like we expanded that
Starting point is 00:15:55 even more let's talk after let's talk after the odd thruple that works sometimes it just works I don't need to hear about it but in this but just for the purpose that's for later yeah that's for after this one's really messy but one's really clean but one's really smart one's a dead body i get one of them is dead that's odd and then you are
Starting point is 00:16:28 and so then the third one is is effectively something that has to be either cleaned up or not yeah yeah oh yeah okay when are you gonna clean that up? I'm not. I told you when we signed the lease, I was messy. Yeah, I'm so messy. I will not be doing that. Now, okay, well, I'm so tidy, I can't touch it because it's like a rotting corpse. You know what I mean? So this is the one thing I won't clean.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm very clean. I'll wipe the soap scum in the bathroom, but I'm not going to touch that. It's like, not touching i'm messy i'm messy i like it and you guys will edit this out uh this part just kind of all of what we've done so far are we start i don't know if we started oh no that's the other thing almost i've almost found the theme with this i mean get used to this pete's not gonna be any kinder in terms of letting you know where you're at. He'll just capture the moment. Scary.
Starting point is 00:17:31 They're doing Beat Homes later. So. It was supposed to be a surprise. Is that also coming out? It'll be surprising. No. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:42 So we were asked to do a delayed release. I wasn't looped in on Pete. What was the concept of Pete is Day Of? Sorry. Pete is Day Of. Hey, hey, relax. Wait, did we make you guys change your schedule to accommodate? Yeah, we fucking did.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I wasn't looped in on it. So yeah, I was told the guys there's the big show at the will turn and i guess it's fucking nuts dude so it's this will come out today this is tuesday thursday you're gonna be at the wilter at the wilter treading the very same boards that colin mulloy once intoned the verses of odelise gone this is your moment yep thank you let's talk about it guys i mean her majesty castaways and cutouts like what is our what's our december so be doing be doing stuff about kissing a bird? Yes. Not ancient catacombs.
Starting point is 00:18:52 And yes, Bartleby the Scrivener, et cetera. Yes. Yeah. It's a lot of that stuff. Okay. But kind of for the Gen Z. Could be so funny like if if we were about like it like it could be like i could stop wait dude dudes this was maybe thinking like sick you know what you ought to do what's up bro you got to put us in some of your
Starting point is 00:19:29 stuff yeah like not even just the show if like we were that's insane so we're in the videos oh my god that's fine i do it that's so fucked up yes you have to do that shit you have to man that's so funny oh my god i'm so i'm glad you're here maybe you play us maybe you guys and kevin play oh well what's great is there's two right so which we know works maybe one yes maybe once we activate the One Gotta Go protocol, then that would be so... At that point, it's so easy. Do you guys do voices and stuff? Do you guys do characters?
Starting point is 00:20:15 Or what would you... Because we do a lot of voices and characters. In our lives. No, yeah. So do you have a character or anything? Don't make me pick no i got yeah the shorter list is characters i don't do do we do voice i don't do trump i don't do anyone famous yeah you don't shorter list yeah that list is shorter it's basically i don't do any celebrities i don't do anything feels like i don't do any long list if you don't do any celebrity
Starting point is 00:20:41 well the list is only three right now trump anyone famous accents right oh easier in some ways to say what we do sure yeah sure well and i guess what we do like voices characters like not so much what we do do is the damn thing every damn day wow i like that every single damn day i just got chills do the damn thing. I just got chills. We're doing it right now. We'll do it long after you're gone. We did it yesterday. We tried to do it the day before that. We didn't.
Starting point is 00:21:12 But essentially it's every damn day we do it. What happened the day before? Yeah, what happened? You were sick. I forgot to drink water. You ever get like a little headache and you go like have i had a single sip of water in the past 72 hours have i had but a single sip in the past like i really do kind of go like yes yes i'm gonna don't like can i take care of myself i
Starting point is 00:21:43 forgot to drink water. I think it's one of the essential elements that helps us live. For some of the Tulsi, if you do it without water, it could get stuck. And sometimes it's like, does coffee count as water? Right. Yeah. It feels like it should. It should.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I know I put water in when I make it. Yeah. But no. Yeah. I guess it doesn't. Or like vodka or everclear ice right let's clear out for martin for a second
Starting point is 00:22:17 because it felt it didn't feel like it's something was happening here. I just thought we were kind of chugging along with the water and the coffee, and I was thinking, nice. I loved that. I loved seeing that. That was very powerful. It was very sweet. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:40 You're making a strong case. It was coming from a very honest place, I felt like. And the timing. Because I'm looking at the clock, it's 23 minutes in, and I would say that Martin has arrived on this episode. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Michael Jordan switched the goat of all time. Well, I said that thing about the penguin being tall, too. That's true. No, I wouldn't necessarily about the penguin being tall, too. That's true. That was just... No, I wouldn't necessarily say that was your thing. That got cut. He was looking up. I said...
Starting point is 00:23:13 And I'm not protective of, like, it's not my stuff. No, a bit. No. I'm only responding to the fact that you said that you did it. I was like... Noticed that he was looking up at the pigment what I'll say is nobody's keeping score
Starting point is 00:23:30 you know what I mean like that's not an attitude to bring to this you are on the board now which is great like with the ice thing like you know there's no it's undeniable that you're on the board but nobody's keeping score Hollywood Handbook
Starting point is 00:23:44 be a better you in 2024 with Babbel It's undeniable that you're on the board, but don't always keep it square. Hollywood Handbook. 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 get, people stop me and they say, like, hey, 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 that i'm trying to learn and that's body language so can babble teach me body language So Babbel now has visual in-person lessons.
Starting point is 00:24:28 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 finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull down the spider down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need and have needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks
Starting point is 00:25:21 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. And they're really aggressively pushing it out. And I'm like, am I supposed to pull over, get out of the car? Yes, or just do it out the window as I'm going. That's what I've been doing. That seems dangerous.
Starting point is 00:25:52 But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners, I'm sure.

Because I was crying about it. Yeah, what's up?
Starting point is 00:31:59 Well, is that I would feel so protected having Batman. Batman, right. I don't have a Batman. Who's my Batman here? Biden? But I love this where everyone thinks, and this is just like, it's so American in a way.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Like everyone thinks like, oh, if I lived in Gotham, I'd be one of the people Batman was protecting. And it's just like, I'm a good person. And it's like, oh, really? Like, look around at the ills of society and your failure to proactively prevent literally anything bad from happening to anyone. And maybe Batman being there isn't such a comfort anymore
Starting point is 00:32:42 when you know he would be kicking your happy meal ass up and down Gotham's main street. He would show up and put your ass on the fucking deck. One shot. Boom, bitch. See you later. Started using guns today for you. Literally went back on his

It's what you failed to do right wow we can always be doing more and it's the whole idea your thing of like i want to go to gotham because like i'll be protected yeah so i can get away with anything i want feels kind of odd it's like a very american point of view to me i'm sorry there would be shouldn't have said that you said one foot i love that you said it because it actually allowed us to have the kind of conversation this show was intended to foster totally totally which is like what's wrong with you yeah like what's wrong with you and how

Starting point is 00:37:17 We can't just have anyone showing up and just like being like, it's my show. It's like, no, I'm going to have to see your ID. You're going to have to get this on paper. Yeah. So whose name is that? I'm picking to have to see your ID. I'm going to have to get this on paper. Whose name is that? I'm picking up not yours. It's boring. This is boring. This is boring.

We're talking about Martin. Got it. Okay. Because not just picking up off something he said before. No, that is my name. Okay. Got it. Okay. Cause some people are receptive.
Starting point is 00:38:08 He does like this. Neuro-linguistic programming. NLP. Yeah. You might not even know. Yeah. No, but I worked the word penetrate into like casual conversation so that people
Starting point is 00:38:18 are kind of picturing. They're thinking about. Yeah. Pounding and stuff. Yeah. Polarization of. Yeah. Ben Marshall. Okay. Okay. We are, thinking about yeah pounding and stuff yeah polarization of yeah ben marshall okay okay we are we are marshall and so they're saying
Starting point is 00:38:31 and so your response to basically what happened to them is no i am marshall yeah okay you so you see that old movie yeah so you're adding one thing they want is the most important thing to them. In the wake of a tragedy. Yep. Just for them to sort of embrace their identity. And then you come marching in, right? Not so fast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Actually, I march. I am Marshall. No, actually, I am Marshall. Yeah. And you're not. You know what? Chevy did that that that wands mode yeah not to talk about you know yeah yeah yeah yeah film right sorry it's an hour and a half right it's a so yeah it's a it's a yeah it's a film it's a movie every week we make a new movie
Starting point is 00:39:26 yeah you guys know how you guys do the titles of like our best friend or whatever our close our personal friend yeah it should be uh i don't read the time i mean like it's my i do the show every week so i'm not like you're not like you know like the newspaper and being like what's the title is this in the newspaper? The schedule is in there. I would love to read a transcript of this conversation. Well, I was thinking it should be called Please Don't Destroy Our Worst Conversation Ever. Kevin is not really an accessibility guy.
Starting point is 00:40:01 You know? He takes a stand against that? Yes. Yes. Damn. he talks about successability yes in his mind is like the opposite of accessibility just like if you're if you're a true winner you'll have the will to succeed and you will find a way to access whatever the content is that he makes oh no i don't agree with that doesn't want to like he said he's just not about like hand holding yes for this this generation
Starting point is 00:40:32 jeez i don't know what you know i have a horny version too called success ability kevin that's on the back that's in the back of the newspaper taking his pants version he has a horny version it's a horny version of anything as a horn you know and you know how in the back of the newspaper taking his pants version he has a horny version it's a horny version of anything as a horn you know and you know how in the back of the newspaper there's like the horny version of everything that was in the other parts of the horny sports yeah like horny movie review basket balls sack right yeah probably yeah the war in ukraine yeah the horny war yeah yeah yeah they just need to not. Both sides probably. They could get over whatever misunderstanding.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Everyone could just not at the same time. Literally if Putin ever had post-nut clarity, this would be a darn conflict. It's because he does no fap. That's why he acts the way that he does
Starting point is 00:41:25 yeah which is not to say that you can't go too far the other way nutting all the time marty hey man hey brother when he was saying ice before it's because he needed some ice yeah my dang balls were too empty yeah oh good god hey hey drain those fuckers jesus no this is what kevin does you know what i mean yeah he's the idea of a horny version and this was a pg conversation we're ripping it and we have an energy here that i don't think we've had since we first were talking about the turkey and the hamburger it's back waves we ride these waves start recording have we recorded yet going yeah this is good okay here comes and we could do something like martin enders gotham batman sort of taking a just a hands-off approach to that doesn't really know not really my role not totally my jurisdiction yeah he's kind of yeah it's really good it's really good yeah yeah no i do a good batman so wait we're we're john were you proposing earlier
Starting point is 00:42:34 that um you and sean link up and do start doing stuff together you were looking at haze i thought i take it back for either but just me is like the you know the person who handled the shows are in my name like so that okay you know what i mean but i it's all it's like we do the this stuff together i'm here but i'm also on a leash and that and it helps me because um i think like level of responsibility of like giving your ID to someone and all of that is a little bit outside of the scope of what I can provide. Just because I washed it. Your ID? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm sorry. Okay. A little condescending. Well, that brought it back. That solved his problem. You're sorry. Why are you mad at me government uh been sorry oh okay yeah here's a new id not how it works not how it works actually okay and mine is my i still have my id it's not washed and i can deliver it i hold it between two fingers like Gambit

Starting point is 00:44:45 and they refused to engage with us in any way. Kevin basically became... He was like, well, I know when and where they're doing tiny meat game. I've been unable to get a single response to my
Starting point is 00:45:04 request. And Gmail applied a label to the email that just said cucked. I did ask to be taken off and they said so sorry and then continue to keep me on and confirm it and lock everything. So sorry, you little piggy. You like that?

Starting point is 00:46:46 bank vault while we figure out what the actual plan of attack is for catching these psychopaths who you're allowing to run amok in the city my i think you would be a police officer my love would be spider-man that's not even that's not even all right so this is just a fuck around what would your job be in gotham spider-man okay i'm not even gonna my job would be spider that's a really great answer i mean i didn't even think of that like what we're setting up here that I'm really excited for is what I've come to think of as an epic Martin moment. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah. This is the low before. It's the perfect little setup. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. It's the fucking pressure under the champagne cork. College boy said right up front, me, me, teacher. Yeah. At around 15 minutes of silence silence that's when you start thinking uh-oh it's gone and then a little funky little left field thing buying
Starting point is 00:47:54 some time yeah and the fuse is getting closer and closer to the martin dynamite keg and i'm just sitting here waiting with gold under my ass oh i'm just i'm just ready to say usps oh let's go let's fucking go when do i grace them with the ultimate fucking denouement? That's so cool, guys. I don't think I want this hat. Don't want the hat? What is it?
Starting point is 00:48:37 Is that one for kids? It looks small. Can I see it? What's the issue with the hat? What are you upset about? Or what can we do better it's okay we really want your generation to engage with the hat that's really important to us we can maybe put an ipad in it okay with some games
Starting point is 00:49:12 if you can't i want to say performance wise it's making you look like very engaged you know what i mean yeah thank you look no you're listening better with that hat on than you have the entire time get those eyebrows up make sure to get them up. We can talk about... Get them higher. Try to get them higher if you can. That's alright. What were you guys asking about? I mean, the iPad logistics, I guess, would be like, Kevin's GF makes the hats, and so, like, wear...
Starting point is 00:49:43 Congrats, Kevin! You got a GF? the hats. And so like, where? Congrats. Kevin. What are you so horny? Little fucker. My fiance does too. Oh, yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Making a lot of hats at chef Kevin's palace. Oh, right. Kevin, this guy, fiance hat. And so like the iPad is like on the on the bill like where where we think like where did like your generation like to have ipad time well martin's actually the youngest one in the group so maybe this is more up his alley. We're actually a cross-generational
Starting point is 00:50:25 schedule. You guys are allowed to have it in the car. Where do you guys get to do that? Get to do what? 20 minutes before dinner. Get to have iPad time. Okay. Before dinner. Okay. Seems like no incentive to eat your dinner at that point.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Take it up with the parents, bud. Yeah. Okay. Alright. I'm also curious, who's in charge in the tub? eat your dinner at that point but because they get up with the parents yeah okay all right i'm also curious who's like who's in charge in the tub oh i mean i know you're first yeah who's sort of district i know no one's like the the boss or whatever but like someone is in charge somebody's got to set the tone and it's just a question of like oh well so like when you're distributing the little bath pills that turn into like sponge animals like who who gets to pick like which colors john's dad john's dad yeah okay my dad mr college mr college john college college boy ass My dad. Mr. College. Mr. College.
Starting point is 00:51:27 John College Boy Ass. But yeah, my dad picks... Oh, yeah, he does a lot. Okay. He does a lot of stuff? Yeah. What else does your dad do? This is now getting actually very interesting. No, let me just put it this way.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Your eye. Are you allergic to the hat? I just want to point out you just touched his shoes. You've just been rubbing your eyes. It's fine. If you're trying to give yourself pink eye and end the show. I'm not. I'm getting just...
Starting point is 00:52:06 How would you feel if on your birthday your dad wasn't there, but he's playing charades with Cardi B? He's supposed to play charades with you. Every Christmas. Go downstairs. Watch it again. I watched what's up with that on christmas 70 times in a row what's the third beat you watch his shit yeah and it's fucking a lot yeah but i know at the end of the day hanging out with Marlon
