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. 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. Yes. 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! Is this our first repeat head gum guest? Is this our first what? Is this our first repeat head gum guest? Our first repeat head gum guest. I, I, I don't keep trap of that stuff. I think, I don't keep trap of that stuff. I think I don't keep trap of that stuff. I'm not trapping it.

Amir obviously comes on all the time. Sure. Like he's in the room 90% of the time when we're recording. He doesn't always talk, but he's just around kind of lurking. But does that, that doesn't count to you? Surely. No. Surely that doesn't count. Because he's not really a guest.

I don't think he's ever been one. He has. He thinks he has. He has been a guest. He thinks he has, and you think so. And not since we've come here, he's no longer a guest. Right. He's.

We're his. We're his guests. This is his house. Yes. But in terms of Repeat Head Gum Guest, I think this might be it. And it was interesting to me, this one was, and we never get this, an incoming call, wasn't it? Repeat, head gum guest,

is an opportunity that is rarely granted or requested. And this was an incoming call, wasn't it, Raekha? You better believe it. I had more to say. I was like, that phone rings? I had more to say. Yeah, I thought it was, I thought it was only a one-way machine.

I had never heard the ringtone. I didn't know that they could do that. Kevin's incoming guest phone ringtone. Andy Mellonaka's theme song. Like, you do that, did you just do it for me? I had never heard it, so. What's it sound like? It's my show, I'm Andy Milonakis.

It's my snow, I'm Shnandy Smiloshmakis. That's really what it is? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That guy's crazy. That guy is insane. The fact that we ever gave him the fucking keys to the car.

Someone was asleep in the wheel. It's a miracle we're all alive. The inmates were running the asylum briefly. And the industry obviously has corrected. We are all grownups here now. It is a professional organization. We had dropout daddy, Brendan Lee Mulligan on here who just was so professional

and kind of presented himself in such an adult manner. And it was very refreshing for me to say, this guy's not clowning around, he's not having fun, you know what I mean? Like I'm so sickened by like the Andy Milonakis types who are going like, it's crazy, we do whatever we want. And I go, there have to be rules here. And Brennan to me feels like there's a schedule, there's rules, and it's a job.

Like it really felt like a job for rules, and it's a job. It really felt like a job for him. And it's a job you don't like. Yes. You're coming in, you're not laughing. Well, you're not supposed to, it's work. It's work. You know, and it's like.

We like the money. Yeah. That's what the money's for. Right? And to be two years into your career and counting your ideas is preposterous. Yeah.

You should be thinking, me and the Almighty Creator every single day that you get up to even breathe the same oxygen as an Amir, as Marty. Marty, yes, his friend, I was gonna say. His buddy. That's who it is, it's Marty. What's the guy he's with?

Yes. Any of these guys. You know this guy Marty? Marty Amir's friend? Yes, yes. Clarifying the thing you just said, Marty Amir's friend. Yes, yes. Yeah, of course.

Exactly. Of course. Well, we used to have, for a while, in between when you were first here and when you came again, I guess, we had lights. We had different special lights. We had special lights. This is a different room.

I gotta say. Yeah. The room, you do have to say it. I have to say, I don't want it to be coming out later, but it's a different room. No, no, no, no, no, no. If we don't say it, it's gonna be all the comments like, nobody brought up the room.

Yeah, it's different. The room is different, you know? I don't wanna be drowning in those kind of comments. I want the comments to be why isn't the show funny anymore? Did you do that dropout show where everyone made a million dollars? You know, you might be talking about thousandaires. Is that what you're talking about?

No. You're talking about? Wasn't there a show where everybody made a million dollars for it? A lot of the You're talking about? Wasn't there a show where everybody make a million dollars for it? A lot of the dropout shows involved you making kind of a million dollars. It was a special show and everyone wanted to go.

Yeah. And they said, okay, if you wanna go, you're gonna have to pay, pretty much pay a million dollars. So you kind of net even. The tickets cost a million dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for everyone to come see it. It's like you didn't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for everyone to come see it. It's like you didn't do it.

Yeah, no, I wasn't really invited to that one. Okay. Can we, did you hear about this show, Kevin? It was very special. I don't think so. Oh. They didn't tell you about this. Is there a chat? There's a chat.

Is it a Slack chat? I would argue that I'm a freelance employee at Dropout and that Slack, that Slack's for the full timers. So I don't get privy to the big stuff going on on that Slack. Is it true that if they ever make you a full time employee that you will change your last name to the dough? That is the kind of thing that they make you do. It's like a mean husband that's like,

you gotta take my last name. But instead it's- They say, if you're gonna be on here, we rake it to dough. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what? That's partly, I kind of respect my last name too much.

I don't wanna be full-time. And I respect that saying, hey, hey, hey, I'm my own person. Sure I'd like a million dollars, but I want it saying, hey, hey, hey, I'm my own person. Sure I'd like a million dollars, but I want it on my terms, which is why I also have been holding out to make a million dollars. That's really noble of you.

Obviously there's opportunity to do it if you compromise yourself in this business and there's a lot of chances to do that. Right, dropby.tv for instance. Some of the stuff they want, oh yeah. Some of the stuff they wanted us to do that. Right, dropout.tv for instance. Some of the stuff they want, oh yeah. Some of the stuff they wanted us to do to get a bigger contract here, sorry, not gonna do it.

Sell nicotine to kids. Oh my God. Just, not cigarettes. Old St. Nick. Just literally like raw, just like jars of nicotine. Clear. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Wow, and you guys said no. Well, it's just not how I wanna make my million dollars. Wow. I'm effectively keeping my name. Yeah. You know, because I just can't, I can't with that stuff. Yeah. At least, I mean, I'd have to try it first. Okay.

Make sure it's like. Really good. Really good. Yeah, you're worried about the quality at all. It actually makes you feel good. Yeah, you don't wanna give kids. It's like a scam and it doesn't do shit. Yeah.

If it's just like fucking jank weed. Right, you don't wanna get kids addicted to something that sucks. I don't want them to be getting hit with the inferior product, you know what I mean? That's nice. I don't want none of this fucking Mickey Mouse weed. I want the fucking good shit.

Can you turn on my skin please? The chronic ganja. You know, I think if I could trust Headgum You know, I think if I could trust Headgum to give him the real, the hydro, you know what I mean? The good stuff. I would be willing to get a million dollars to give nicotine to kids. But unfortunately, I just don't think I'm dealing

with an ethical business model here. Right. And I know that if they're willing to pay me that much, then they must be making something on the back end. And it's probably pretty stepped on. Whatever, I'm gonna be giving these kids. Right, well, I'm probably cutting it with like waxitive. If the product is right, we have ideas.

Oh my God. I can get the kids to do a lot of stuff. Yeah, what kind of things are you trying to get kids to do? Well. The flavor is movies. Mm-hmm. Movies, flavor, nicotine. Now, I got a question.

Movie vape. You've been saying nicotine, but then we're also talking about weed. And those are different. No, it's. Smoke is smoke. Smoke is smoke. Smoke is smoke? Like that's the thing that we have ever.

Again, addicted to hickory smoke barbecue. Smoke is smoke. Okay. Like if you're smoking, you're smoking. Little kids think it's different, but it's like. But when you're an adult, you realize what I'm saying. It's all scary, you know. Jesus Christ.

It's all like. It's terrifying. Really scary to do. You can't really see what's going on. Yeah. It's like, it's all pretty scary. Yeah. What is the difference? Can't really see what's going on. Yeah. It's all pretty scary. Yeah. Like to me,

I would say there's only a couple different classes of substance. Okay, yeah. And there's smoke, which is obviously weed, nicotine, Drugs. Obviously, weed, nicotine, ganja hashish drugs, opium, dopium. Don't you, crack? Crack. Well, crack is cocaine. The other kind of drug is cocaine

and I would put crack in the cocaine category. Okay. That's in like the powdered drug arena. It's just cocaine. That one is just the heading is cocaine. Right, got it. Can you go on Craigslist for me please? I just have an idea.

Pull up Craigslist. And we do execute and do an implementation on. You ever go on this? I haven't seen this lately. I used to, I haven't been on it lately. They have a lot of good deals on drinks that have already been opened. Yeah. That rules.

Sometimes someone will get on here and be like, I just opened this, I don't really wanna. Yeah. Now do you promote waste culture or do you like, or you think those are squares? Yeah, I promote waist culture when I get my hands on the drink. Mm-hmm.

Once I got both my hands wrapped around that drink. Amazing quality flavored syrups. What I want to do today is do a post in the ticket area. And it says, hey, Sean Hayes have a show. You remember this? We have a show. That's incredible. Yeah, it's actually really powerful.

Million dollars? Uh, we don't have the final numbers. You're coming at it a little bit. Yeah, we don't have the final numbers. Okay, got it a little bit. Yeah, we don't have the final number. Okay, got it, got it, got it. Part of this is gonna be you helping us with a post that ultimately could generate $1 million. We have this Joe, on what day?

This Friday, when the listeners are listening. This Friday. June 14th. Jesus Christ. June 14th. June 14th. Jesus Christ. June 14th. On June 14th, we have a show.

Are you doing anything? On June 14th? Yeah. I'm pretty available. You want a comp? But we just said that we have a show. So just say you're going to the show. Yeah, I'm wide open.

You didn't even ask if the Doughboys are gonna be there. I'm wide open on that night looking for plans. You didn't even ask though. Looking for multiple plans, to be honest. If you- They probably won't. I just got a little hint of the Philly accent. Oh no.

Uh oh. Open. And. Open. And if we do a post that says, hey guys, I have a ticket to, and like we do it in like, we're just like a little kid or type thing. Like a like, hey guys, so sucky, but I have a ticket to Sean Hayes' show

on June 14th, and I can't use it, and so I'd be willing to sell it. Oh, my parents won't let me go, because it's too insane. Yes. So I wanna sell the ticket, and so I'll take market price, which is big ol' bango bucks. And then it goes viral that this ticket is on,

that people are selling tickets on the secondary market for our show for like a quarter million dollars. That's what happened with the Dropout show. Yes. You weren't privy. The initial ticket sales. I'm drowning in privy. Yes.

And if I remember the ending of that story with Dropout is the fans got really mad that all these tickets were so expensive? Unfortunately, that's not the ending of the story. The story is yet to be written. Okay, wow. That's the middle of the story is that the fans are mad and the ending is going to be what the fans do about it. Okay, cool.

Right, and we're still waiting with bated breath for what the fans are doing. I am, yes, I am. Yeah. But you missed a step also. Hopeful that there's a peaceful resolution. Oh no. Which is, everyone made a million dollars.

Everyone made a million dollars, you're right. That's what they were so, you forgot to mention what they were so mad about. Yeah, that everyone in the dropout was making Buko bucks, yeah. To do basically some fucking bullshit. Just the same old damn bullshit, and just to be at work. I mean, go watch someone at work,

and I'll pay a million dollars for it. I don't know, not me. I'd rather watch people play. Aw. You know what I mean? Yeah. When I wanna relax, I just wanna see that, like, that spirit of playfulness that I think has really been lost.

The grind set, you know, grind culture. Yes, it's valuable. Yes, hustling can lead to, right, having all the toys that we enjoy. But I think that it's still important to feed our soul. Wow. And the way that I'll do that is like,

I'll get home from working long day, running hours, you know, and I'll just take out some alphabet blocks. And you play. I'll knock them down. And that's not part of your job. That's just pure play. Okay, well now you're giving me that idea to's not part of your job. That's just pure play. Okay, well now you're giving me that idea

to make it part of my job. And it's, you know, and this is part of what's wrong is like because we are so creative and we are so industrious that we do kinda, we do kinda blur the lines on those things. And so I thought I had finally found something that wasn't my job, but now I'm going like, I bet I could probably livestream me,

like do like a Twitch stream of me knocking over some alphabet blocks and probably generate some serious cash. How do you nourish your soul? Nourish your soul? Mm-hmm. Well, you know, I was telling you guys. What's the way in which you do that?

I'm taking a painting class right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you guys, you like painting? The noble painter. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And what did you decide to paint on that? I decided to paint on that. I decided to paint on that.

I painted a dog. Which dog? Dog on canvas. Dog on canvas. It's my roommate's dog. Go ahead, spill, which dog? Roommate's dog, roommate's dog on canvas. Nude roommate's dog, right?

She was nude, you're right. You're right. No, nude roommate's dog on canvas. Yeah, you're right. You're right. No, nude roommate stock on canvas. Yeah, canvas, 2023. Then I did a landscape. Okay. Okay, so which land? A temple in South India.

I'm doing it for my grandmother. What do you think? Okay, and which grandmother? Go ahead, tell us all about it. You better go here and pray. Yeah, it's really a call to action. That's crazy. You have to pray.

She needs to pray more. Paternal grandmother temple on canvas. That's crazy that you're telling her she has to go pray. Listen, I like my women the way I like my women. Say your prayers, grandma. Oh my God, yes. I like my women how I like my women prayed up. Yeah, exactly. Okay, baller status.

Okay. And what's like teacher saying about all this stuff? Teachers just down? So teacher, there's two teachers that float around and if you got questions, you can kind of flag them. It's on the river or canal of some kind? Yeah, because I said float. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. It was definitely floating around, little water wings and stuff getting wet, splashing on the paint. On acrylic, it dries fast, it doesn't really matter. So that's why the class works. There's two teachers. Yeah.

Sounds like rich, good school. Couldn't be my school. Damn, how many teachers did you have, like zero? My school had one teacher for the entire school. Wow. The whole school was one teacher. Yes. And don't get me started on the principal.

Start. Okay. They were also the teacher. And they were the one teacher? The one teacher was the principal. So when they sent you to the principal's office, you didn't go anywhere. You were just already there.

I went to principal's office every day because it was the only classroom which had the one teacher. And the dean? No. Mamma Mia. No. Yeah, that was a different person.

Well, it would actually be a really easy Mamma Mia situation if it's just one person. You don't have anyone to guess. It's just one person. Yeah, well, and thank you for finding the silver lining. Because a lot of times we look back at, you know, an upbringing like that and view it as hardship, when it was really a pretty big opportunity to simplify the Mamma Mia story. Absolutely. You only have one friend.

Well, if they get you pregnant. You only have one friend. You only have one friend. Okay, I wasn't. Say it to me, I'll say it back to you. I wasn't pointing to you, but I mean, it sounds like maybe you only have one friend. It sounds like you were.

Sounds like you maybe only have one friend. Which, hey, silver lining, if you get pregnant, it's a simple Mamma Mia situation, you know it's that. Whoa. 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. I'll say, like, I've been down this road before, and I wanna share my own missteps so that others can avoid the situation that I was in. Basically, I thought I had to really know Spanglish to see the movie Spanglish. And so I paid hundreds of dollars for private tutors,

and I wasted hours on apps. These apps that didn't help at all, So I paid hundreds of dollars for private tutors and I wasted hours on apps. These apps that didn't help at all and I missed a lot of important meals with my family, big work events, I would be just buried in the app saying that my Netflix envelope needed to be returned. I was going to have to put it back in the mail and I couldn't see any other movies

until I did watch this one. And so it was a complete waste of time. And when I finally did watch it, I loved it and I didn't understand a word of it and it didn't matter because it is a visual feast. I, much like the chef cooks up in the movie, the main character is a chef, ended up taking Babel's quick 10-minute lessons

handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help start me speaking a new language in as little as three weeks. Three weeks later, I'm in the theater, I'm laughing my ass off and alternating, I'm saying ha ha ha and alternating Hs and Js. And that is the promise of Babbel.

Rules and restrictions may apply. Whoa. Hollywood Hamburg. Kevin has encountered something of a roadblock here. I'm stuck. Ah! Choose the location that fits best. Now we're looking for sort of a monied class here.

And so I'm thinking Long Beach. It's like a, because it's all investors there. I'm very Long Beach right now. What type of posting? Oh boy. Okay. For sale by owner. Rekha, what's this say?

For sale by owner, right? That's what you're trying to do. Yeah, but it's also temporary. It says housing offered, and I feel like you are gonna be inside for the show. Yes, yes. Maybe two hour housing offer. Yes, and then there won't be quite as much sticker shock.

Right. People go and see like, okay, $250,000. And then it's like. Not bad for housing. Yes, yeah. I think that that's actually a pretty good work around. And then they see the time, and they go seven to nine p.m. or whatever.

Okay, please choose a category, rooms and shares, apartments or housing for rent, housing swap. It's gotta be a swap, right? So if we could get the $250,000 and we get to live in their house during the show, I guess I have to be doing the show. Now here's a question, would you consider your show relaxing like a vacation?

You have vacation rentals up there as an option. Oh, vacation rentals. We'll be at work. It's gonna be high stress, not gonna be fun, got it. Yeah, it's sort of a fast-paced career that I'm in. So I do think that. But they are doing White Lotus there as well. My God, okay, wow.

In that sense, I mean, it is work, but they are gonna be filming White Lotus season four at our show. At the same time and during the show. Now this says real estate by broker. You don't get much broker than us. Damn. And you don't get much realer either. And it also is real estate by owner.

Yeah. And there's basically no one who's been as owned as us. We're getting owned at these shows left and right. Especially the doughboys are gonna be there. They own our ass. Damn. Fucking doughboys, man. That's head gun politics?

Yeah. They basically said Doughboys is your daddy. And I didn't really have anything to say back to that. Oh no. They're here. Dear God. That barely looks like them anymore, I just wanna say. And the Doughboyz logo, yeah,

I get a couple updates on that. Get the salt and pepper shakers out. Let's do housing swap. Yeah. Okay, posting title. Dear, parents suck. I think that's pretty kid-like.

Parents suck. And it's good. That's right. Kids rule. Yeah, that's the neighborhood. Say to your neighborhood kids rule. Yeah, that's the neighborhood City or neighborhood kids rule Hey guys, I'm just using a computer for the first time I'll put zip code 9-1-1 Description hey guys, I'm just using a computer for the first time.

Yeah, square feet. Maybe in 10 years.? Where we have to say the age? I mean, like, maybe in 10 years. Square feet, you could put square feet. How old is the kid? Square feet, put like three feet. Yeah, three feet. Three feet, yes. Three. Yeah.

Hey guys, I'm just using a computer for the first time. So sucky. But my parents parents in quotes. What do kids say, like, do kids say jag off? Yeah, you mean. Being complete jag offs? Don't kids say jag off a lot these days? Yeah.

I'll say, let me say this too. It happens every year. It's fake. Yeah, this is, so this is actually, this kid is like, What year? Say it in parentheses every year. Let me say this too. It happens every year. It's fake. Yeah, this is. We're writing it. So this is actually, this kid is like, this is like a fake kid.

What? I thought you were transcribing something for a kid. No, this kid is like, I mean I kind of like to imagine that this is a real kid somewhere, you know what I mean? And so it's not fake, really. Like, anything you imagine,

just like, with the number of species and things that there are, like the number of things that there are, pretty much anything you can imagine is probably somewhere real. And so there is probably this kid from Kids Rule. Well, this is like the multiverse of madness or whatever. Right. Like, it's so fucking trippy, dude,

but the science behind it actually holds up our guile This is in the ACU mm-hmm. Yeah, that's nice little cat Argos she thought that our guile was her creation And then he now he's here, he's shooting my nanamies. Okay, go off, Argyle. In person on June 14th every year.

We're going to be helping them the whole time and there'll be employees at the theater like telling them like where to go. Yes. I think there's being a lot of assistance.

Can you look at laundry? Dirty, right? Laundry, hookups. Wow. WD hookups? WD hookups. You'd hope that your show, if you can inspire love. Yes.

You're in Hollywood. No, our show, most people, after the last show, everyone got pregnant from having intercourse with each other. and I was like, this is such a crazy thing because the show was ultimately just sort of comedy and some education, but that can be really sensual. And I think that everyone in the audience knows they've got a common interest and that interest is making love. And I think that's a really good thing.

I think that's a really sensual. And I think that everyone in the audience knows they've got a common interest and that interest is making love. And so I think that we should definitely do WD Hookups. Parking, I would say... What is valid? That's so valid, you know? Like that's, yeah, like feelings are valid. That's very valid, you know? Like, that's, yeah, like feelings are valid.

That's very validating. Bedrooms. Well, how many seats do you guys have? You could sleep in any of them. There's about 100 empty seats. You could put zero because it shares numbers with 100. That's really interesting. Bathrooms.

Shared. Everyone will have to share the bathroom experience. Okay, Kevin. Continue. That's good. And people like, look this up and share it. Okay. So the zip code didn't check out. Nine one one did not check out as a zip code. Okay. And you're nine one, Okay, do 91111. Yeah.

Which will still dial 911. If you put in those extra ones, that's right. You're gonna reach it. Very smart. Continue. Done. Won't be available unless the location is more precise.

Okay. Jesus Christ. They really want to kind of prevent you from posting. Crawling up my ass. Jesus. When I was a kid, man, you posted on Craigslist wasn't some like, you didn't get audited by the fucking IRS

about your post. It was literally just like, do you have an idea for something somebody could want? No. I saw free dirt on Craigslist once. Free dirt? I've seen it in person. And it's also going like, okay, so,

is every category like this? Like, oh, I'm selling something, so now you have this whole location issue with me, but what if I wanted to go into, think of another Craigslist category. Furniture. Oh, that's selling. Not that.

Sorry. That was a big mistake. Literally anything else. That was a really big mistake. A job offer. Not that. Well, that's not a good example. Kevin, what location are you doing?

A bank? A bank. Hey, that's where the money's gonna go, right? Oh, save your trip. Oh, so that's what, okay. I was gonna say we should do the theater, but no. First they do need to go to the bank. Okay, this is right

What bank is this? It's called first bank her fix. Okay Front of the line done. I am done with images To be honest, I'm so fucking over it with images. All right people stop reading Publish. Publish it. Okay. Nice. Further action is required.

Okay. Okay, let's read it over real quick. We already published it, but can we read it, Kevin? I don't know. Yeah, I think you gotta confirm it with the one. Just go back. That's gonna screw it up. No, yeah, we can't do that.

We're gonna have to somehow go into HandbookPod. Kevin's on the case. Have you guys bought anything off Craigslist before? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Some drinks that bought anything off Craigslist before? Yeah. Oh yeah. Some drinks that had already been opened, I said. Yeah.

And I'm promoting waste culture every time I get my hands around them. Where have you been? I'm sorry. Yeah, welcome to the show. What did you buy? Classic. Yeah.

To only ask any questions so you can just tell me your little story. Just you have a story of what you bought on Craigslist. Regale us. Thank you, thank you. Selfishness. I literally have never bought anything off Craigslist. I got He-Man's sword.

You're the one who got that. He-Man's sword, yeah. I saw a haunted friends poster on Craigslist once. Uh-huh. So the person was selling it because they said we have a Christian home and this poster keeps falling, and we think it's haunted. And it's from the show Friends.

Oh, I thought it was from the show Haunted Friends. Haunted Friends never really made that much of an impact. I just assumed Haunted Friends was something. There was that time when they were just like trying to find the secret sauce from friends. Yeah, the one with Joey's a ghost. Yes, and even that was like kind of weird because like they're supposed to be haunted.

They're not supposed to like be the ghost. They're not supposed to haunt, you know? Yeah. But it was a rush job. It was, Ross just had PTSD. Yeah, very bizarre. Age-wise, he shouldn't have been in Vietnam, but in the show he was.

But he was very haunted by some of the things he'd seen. Okay, title, parents suck, location, kids rule. Three feet squared. Eric, or zip code 91111. Hey guys, I'm just using your computer for the first time. So sucky, but my parents are trying to win the jag off of the year contest. They're at first prize.

They said I can't get within 500 miles of the big Hollywood handbook live concert event in person on June 14th every year. Here they come, oh shit. I have to hide computer, can't let tickets go to waste, should be a crime against our itself. Willing to basically give away a face value, 260,000 zero bucks.

Money can be taken right now, it has to. It has to. Assist the living, dogs are okay, WD Hookups. Belly parking, no smoking, EV charging. Zero bedrooms, shared bathroom. So, I mean, I tell ya, I feel bad for the people who work at the bank, right? There's gonna be a big. They're about to miss their lunch breaks.

Oh my God. No, they're gonna be dealing with, oh okay, we just actually were normally a normal bank. But today we're an unusual bank. A line around the entire store. It's crazy. I hate that banks are stores now. It's just part of like how our entire financial

infrastructure has been so corrupted at every level where the bank is selling you now the money. And it's like, originally the idea was you help hold, keep it safe. And now the idea is what? I have to buy the money? Oh, and also it's like, do even more money and you get like a key chain or

book. I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not interested. I'm done, I'm done. It started with the Capital One Cafe, which was fine. Like that at the time was like, this is fine. It makes sense even. Yes, that was actually nice.

I'm hungry as fuck. Yeah, I'm so hungry. It started for me earlier than that when you would just be waiting if the line was long, they'd just give you a chunk of hot pop tarts in there. They would just give, break off a piece of hot pop tart for anybody who was in line for too long. And then I think that got such a positive response,

they made it an entire Capital One cap. And they said, you can make money off of this. We don't need to be giving the hot pop tarts out for free. Yes, and again, started out as a kindness, as a service, you know, and then became like, oh, how do we fucking ratchet up the pressure on these people? Yes. And I'm a victim of the banks at this point.

I'm no victim of the banks at this point. I'm no longer a customer. It's become so many, it's like, Citizens Bank, Hanouche Jewelers. So now every time I wanna go to Hanouche Jewelers, I have to buy money at Citizens Bank and vice versa. Citibank now has become City Bounk because they sell bao.

And every time you need bao, you gotta buy too much money. Bao is the cheapest. You gotta buy too much money to get the bao. That's not okay. No, and it's like, and there's nowhere else that makes bow the way I like it. Except, except, except Citibank. And so now all of a sudden I'm just like trapped

in basically a toxic relationship. It's sickening. But, teacher warned me. What I'm seeing here is until you, I'm a little worried about this zone because it craigslist what it does is like, okay, this is in this zone. So you can kind of go in this area and look for it.

And they put a big circle on the map, right? So everyone is gonna be flooding this zone. It's gonna smell like shit pretty soon. This is actually giving me an idea that like, this could be, accomplish something else we've been thinking about, and this zone could be where we put the dome. We have been talking about putting all our fans under the dome.

We've been wanting to get a dome going, just because like, the people, I think enough time has passed from the finale of that dome that the negative side of it has mostly been forgotten. Okay. And the excitement of being under a dome has once again taken on that sort of sparkling sheen

that it once had for humanity. And so we're gonna be the folks that get that dome down there and if we can have it populated primarily by our fans, and obviously there's gonna be civilians who are in the dome. Oh yeah, sure. Likely to be converted to fandom, right? Yeah, once the dome goes down, they're in there.

Yeah, it's just gonna, you know, the, if you're with that many people who like the show, who wanna be at the live show, even if you're initially starting out as a fan of, and think of another show. Doughboys? Well, not. Not that.

But even if you're initially a fan of something else. Like Doughboys? Well, not that. But even if you're initially a fan of something else. Like Doughboys? You're ultimately gonna want to fit in, you know, with the popular crowd. Domeboys. Domeboys, Domeboys. We could become Domeboys. And then we could interact with fans

in sort of a controlled environment, which is something we've been exploring, how to do that more, that would be nice. You're more in uncontrollable. We don't want them to get away. Mm. Some of them have been trying to get away. Well, a lot of fans have been trying to leave

in various ways. Fleeing, running. Yes. Unsubscribing. Just one way that fans try to escape. And it's nice something like a dome could remind them, no, it's very difficult to unsubscribe from being inside a dome.

People have tried to do that, you unsubscribe from being on Earth, you really can't. And it almost like. Well, I guess you can, People have tried to do that you unsubscribe from being on earth you really can't mmm, and it'll yeah like I Guess you can but That's bad a lot of doughboys fans Other in a dark place pretty hard at it. Yeah It'll be like the initial just like putting down of the dome is where I think like PR wise we'll just have to have the prep because like when that happens people forget this from the show because like the finale even was so long ago that means that the first

one was even longer before ago. But it did slice people. And there was like under the dome part of you and then the other part was not under the dome. So you worry that someone's toe is not gonna be a Hollywood handbook fan but then the rest of their body is because the toe is trapped under. I'm worried that we'll get people's just butt part. Right.

They'll all have been bending over to Tyler's shoe when the dome comes down. The dome is filled with disembodied butts and there'll be a bunch of butts and it'll be Hank from Breaking Bad. That's all we're gonna have under there. Right. Which, all respect to Dean Norris, lovely actor.

I don't know that I want. He's not gonna carry something like this, you know what I mean? Yeah, I don't wanna put the whole thing on his shoulders, I don't wanna put the whole thing on his butt. Right. And our fans are also, like to your point, our fans are also the type to be like,

bending over and be like, oh my shoe. Right, they don't just let it be. They wanna do something. Well they're certainly not wearing, fans are also the type to be like bending over and be like, Oh, my shoe. Right. They don't just let it be. They want to do something. Well, they're certainly not wearing, I mean, really they should, they should have Velcro because they're not the type to tie their shoes in a way that's not going to come undone three steps later. Oh, my shoe again.

Well, that's a, this pesky bugger. You don't want to stay tied today. Do you Mr. Shoe? Fucking back down again. They don't even feel it Sweet release Say sweet release Why'd you wanna why'd you want to come on here? What'd you wanna do?

You said there's more to say. There's more to say about the, you're talking about your show. Look at all the promotion you guys need to be doing for your show right now. Well yeah, we do need help with that. The state of the industry's not good, guys. You're sort of a marketing genius.

The state of our show industry is not good. It's not good, guys. Yes. You shouldn't have to be going on Craigslist. The people, the tickets should just be sold out. How many tickets? I don't know. Oh my God.

We don't know. That's how bad it is in here. Ha ha ha. Trump guilty, huh? Bye. That was a hate gum podcast. Hey family, it's Hayes. You may be familiar with the game show Jeopardy, but have you heard of
