Put it together for Jacob and me!
All right.
Get up, eat the tass.
Can't get close, no, no, no.
Hey, everybody.
All right.
Which one am I?
Go off. Say it.
I can take it as long as it's not the second one.
You want to be the ampersand.
I want to be the ampersand.
I deserve it.
Guys, welcome for...
Guys, hey, I'm going to go back out.
We'll edit that part out.
Thank you so much for coming.
Let's give it up for you guys.
Yeah.
And let's give it up for us.
Drake and a queer.
Namaste.
Namaste and Todah, brother.
Why was this a good idea for you?
Sorry, who did it?
For those of you listening at home,
I saw a poster.
I took it on stage.
I read it.
I flipped it around in large letters.
It reads, Drake and a queer.
Why was this good to you?
Did you go out and buy poster boards specifically for this?
Of course.
Of course he bought poster boards.
Did you buy poster board just to make fun of my friend?
Well, we don't know which one's which.
So tread lightly.
Why don't we ask the artist himself?
It was funny at the time.
I think it's funny now.
The time is now, evidently,
you're like, okay, so I want to know the origin story.
You said, or was it like you were falling asleep one night
and you're like, I got it.
I know it.
I've got a rhyme.
I have an idea of me.
And it's to write Drake and a queer on a poster
and bring it to the show.
When you walked in, did you have this on you?
And did they say, what does it say?
No.
They were just like, poster's fine.
Get on in here.
Yeah?
Yeah, they get it.
I feel like the more you hate this, the more it's going to show up.
What do you mean?
You should just forget that it ever happened.
I am forgotten about it.
I just can't stop remembering.
We'll put it face down.
It's still present.
Face down still like you're putting it on the stage.
There's only three things on stage.
Your beard is absolutely incredible.
Oh, my God.
Is that a year?
It's more than a year?
Is it a decade?
Close to a decade?
Jesus, even the mustache part?
Really?
God, want to move in with us?
Sick, dude.
We have a beard with us.
No touching it in a year?
Over a year.
Not even to wash it?
Definitely to wash it.
Definitely to wash it.
Of course, to wash it.
Yeah.
You know.
We'll come back to you.
How's everybody else doing?
All right.
Okay, back to you.
I do have a lot of more questions.
Oh, really?
Yeah, go on.
Decision to make it.
Was it like I'm going to shave and then not touch it for seven years?
This is the same questions we had for the artist.
We want to get in your head.
Three decisions.
You woke up and you said a year of a beard.
Yeah, well, more than that.
Right, a decade.
I had shaved my head.
You had shaved your head.
And your face.
You were a bear.
A blank canvas.
I don't know if anybody cannot see this gentleman,
but he has what would possibly...
It's a foot, right? It's a foot-long mirror.
You can stand up and show the audience.
Yes.
That's correct.
Wow.
Bow in reverence to the beard.
To the decayed.
For he is bearded.
And you are not.
Can I touch it?
I hate that.
It's real.
This hand is anointed.
It's also wet for some reason.
To be fair, it was wet before I touched it.
And it's drier now.
Which makes sense.
Gracias.
It is a dry, dry beard.
Should we sit down?
I'm ready.
Guys, thanks so much for coming out.
This is our fourth live podcast here.
Fifth live podcast.
Maybe.
Who here has been to a live podcast before?
Solid.
Who here has not ever been to a live podcast?
Even solider.
Who here doesn't even know who the fuck we are?
This girl says the guy who's more drunk than she is.
She's about to have such a bad night.
This is all inside jokes.
Watch this.
Seize the cheese.
Right over.
To be honest, it's a little bit over my head too.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Whoa.
Let's slow down a little bit partner.
It's a long night.
And it's only 8.20pm.
Is it what time is it? Can we get a time check?
8.22.
Actually, same thing.
8.22.
Amazing, right?
So how it works is we get questions from people
who are in sticky situation, difficult places
in their lives, and they're seeking our advice
for some odd reason.
Jake and I do our best to offer it.
Sometimes it's just us.
Hanging out.
Jake's possibly shirtless, definitely touching himself.
I often do that.
With this hand, Mr.
Beard Man.
All right.
How, you can hire someone.
To you, my roommate.
You can have a right hand man who will take care of that
for you. Cheers and toadah to you.
If anybody else is drinking out there, please.
Raise him up.
Toadah?
Raise him up. Yeah.
That poster is accurate.
I am like Drake.
So we,
is there anything I haven't mentioned yet?
I wasn't listening to you talking at all.
You actually just woke up 30 seconds ago.
Oh, shit. There's a lot of people here.
Uh, yeah, we...
Oh, you said I touch myself.
Yes. You're a squeezer, I would say.
Uh, yeah.
Is it like that's the closest you can get away
with masturbating in front of people?
Wow, interesting.
I don't feel like it's erotic
when I touch myself.
It's just that's where it's like you can't control it.
I think my penis is where my power comes from.
So I'm often just sort of
like a genie lamp.
Yeah.
Except that's not a genie coming out.
Is it not?
Although I thought I did hear Robin Williams
in a sock you threw away in the hamper earlier today.
Oh, Jesus.
Rami got it.
All right, Pete.
So should we get started?
Should we start answering some questions?
We do have a lot of people we need to help out today.
Yeah. Are you guys ready to start answering some questions?
All right.
Let's do it.
So, in my phone
is a note file with real questions
from real people.
We're going to give them fake names to preserve their anonymity.
If you guys can help us out by shouting out fake names...
Going for it!
Going for it!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, everybody be totally silent.
They're on to you.
Vladi?
What did you say?
H-A-D-I.
H-A-D-I?
Is that your name?
Got it.
He's such a big fan that he didn't come.
Wow.
Wow.
I don't want to put him on a black...
He's actually in a hospital in San Francisco.
He's actually at a funeral, so...
He's actually at a funeral!
But is it in San Francisco?
God, you asshole.
Who died though?
No, no, don't answer that.
Don't answer that.
You can never ask a follow-up question
to he's at a funeral.
All right, but were they close?
Did she raise him?
Fuck me!
But had she been sick for a while?
Nope, sudden.
Damn it.
But the last thing he said to her was probably nice
and positive.
Please.
What the fuck?
He said that to her before she died.
Weird, right?
I didn't mishear you, that's what he said.
All right, so this is coming from Hadi,
straight from his funeral in San Francisco.
Hadi writes,
Hadi with a built-in body.
I've backed myself into
somewhat of a corner.
When I have a one-night stand,
I usually try to wake up and sneak out unnoticed
while I'm at the girl's place.
If it goes according to planned...
If it goes according to plan
and it's some random girl,
my calling card is making a huge mess
in her kitchen and bouncing.
This particular time,
I cut a slit in a bag of flour
and threw it in the air,
getting it just everywhere.
Then I left.
Cut to one night later.
My house gets egged.
Then again the next night.
It's happened five nights in a row.
And I know it's this girl getting revenge.
And my girlfriend wants to call the police.
I need some advice
to get this femme fatale
to stop egging my fucking house like a child.
Love Hadi. Let's give it up for Hadi.
Hadi!
What are your thoughts on his calling card?
Yeah, interesting that he has a calling card.
It's amazing.
Is that different than a business card?
Or is that what a business card used to be called?
Well, it's sort of similar because you want to be remembered
when you had somebody your business card.
So he wants to be remembered
as the guy who destroyed a kitchen.
Of course. So he'll slit a bag of flour
and just sort of throw it around the wheel.
I was trying to think of a name for him and I couldn't do it.
The kitchen culprit is a bad example of that.
With two Ks.
I also had Pussy Pantry,
but then I couldn't think of another P word.
Why does there have to be three though?
Pussy is what he got. Pantry is where he was.
What kind of guy is he that he did it
that starts with a P?
Pansy!
He's kind of cool.
What did you say? Pussy?
Oh, he's sort of a Pussy, but he's also kind of like
an anti-hero.
Prick!
Prick is good. Pussy Pantry Prick?
Pussy Pantry Prick.
Pantry Pantry Prick.
Pilfer is good.
I heard Pilfer.
Come on, no idea is bad.
No idea is bad
except for his when he destroyed somebody's kitchen.
Phantom!
But it sort of has to alliterate.
Phantom, sure, yeah, it actually starts with a P.
Hey, it's 10.15. We really have to go.
Not yet, man. We're gonna fucking get it.
You have a whiteboard.
300 cross-outwards.
Right on the back of the Drake in a Queer.
Prankster!
We are all of you, you glorious human being.
Did you say prankster?
Whoa, she also has a huge beard.
Wow!
Everybody here that's wise has one.
You retroactively called him wise.
You are a sage gentleman.
To be sure.
Wait, so where were we?
He cheated on his girlfriend and destroyed somebody's kitchen
and he wants to know how to get somebody to stop
egging his house.
How would you get someone to stop egging your house?
Keep in mind, he's already damaged her kitchen
so he can't go back in time and do that.
What do eggs and flour make?
Pancakes!
You have to pancake her!
Oh my God!
You have to.
You have to pancake her!
Oh my God!
It's the only way.
What does that mean though?
To be pancake?
Yeah.
I can't believe he's like,
his girlfriend wants to call the police
and he's like, no, no, it's probably nothing.
Let's give it five more days.
Because on the bright side,
free eggs.
That is true.
Using a spatula, getting it right into a pan.
To make pancakes.
He's an optimist of himself.
So, what do you suggest he does
to stop this woman
who he calls a femme fatale
from childishly egging his house
after he left her kitchen
just covered in flour?
Which is the hardest thing to clean, I would guess.
Maybe quinoa, a bag of quinoa seems difficult.
I think flour is harder.
I don't know, have you ever had a bag of dry quinoa?
When you get flour wet, it just gets kind of sticky, right?
That's true, but quinoa is very small.
I can't stress how little it is.
I feel like everybody here
has seen quinoa, so you don't have to...
I just don't know.
I fear you guys are thinking of cooked quinoa.
And I'm referring to the dry,
even smaller quinoa.
Would you say
I think he's got to
live this life that he has?
He lives the life he deserves.
That's true.
Stressed.
He's...
Yeah,
so he has to just accept
that his house is going to get eggs for a little while.
And what joy does he get
out of destroying kitchens?
Because maybe he needs to explore that
and change.
Maybe he could think of a new calling card.
Like being really, really nice to someone.
Yeah, cleaning someone's kitchen.
Or my calling card would be not cheating on my girlfriend.
Oh, that's a great trademark.
That's kind of like a thing that I'm known for.
Yeah.
Or just destroy your own kitchen.
That'll write the universe.
And she'll stop egging your house.
Yeah, you do that to your own kitchen.
Flower.
And you say, I thought I was being nice.
I like flower because it's soft.
And I wanted you
to walk into the kitchen
and not have your feet hurt.
Why are you giggling?
This is perfect.
Do your feet hurt or not, woman?
I don't know. This guy sucks.
Yeah.
You have to basically decide what's worse.
The eggs are the convincing.
No.
What is it called when you confess?
The confession.
What is it called when you found the word
and then asked what it was?
I feel stressed.
All right.
That's it. We don't have anything else to say to this guy.
He's a meanie. Live with your life.
That's probably the least amount of your concerns.
Right. Yeah. You deserve to be thrown in jail.
Have you ever egged a house?
Have I ever egged a house?
No.
That took way too long.
I really didn't. It's really mean to egg a house.
It's hard to clean off.
Is it? I think. Okay.
It ruins the paint, right, hottie?
Once again, hottie is at a funeral.
Right.
This is her friend who all the people she knows is alive.
We are so sorry for your loss.
All right. Let's read
help out another person.
We need another guy's name.
I can't hear anything.
What did you say?
You, sir.
Yeah, but the plaid.
You have your hands
cupped over your mouth. You were yelling.
Hampton.
Hampton?
I think he's saying Hampton.
Hampton or Campton?
You were screaming at the top of your lungs
and now you don't want to tell me.
What is it? Hampton?
No. Get out.
I'm just kidding. Hampton's perfect.
It's Hampton.
It's like you telling me what my child
will be named. Hampton's perfect.
It's Hampton. Why did you ask
a random person? I don't know.
All right. Yeah, Hampton. Hampton writes.
Hampton writes. For the past month,
I've been talking to this girl pretty heavily.
We've met once in person, but we text every day
and we FaceTime each other all the time.
I'm in love with her.
No, you're not. Go on.
And she feels the same way about me,
but we're not exactly dating yet.
The problem is
she doesn't really open up to me like ever
and she gets mad over little things.
We have useless arguments with each other
over the stupidest shit
and we'll ignore each other for a little bit.
The relationship is ultimately destructive,
but we...
Maybe he is in love.
The relationship is ultimately destructive,
but we love each other and we keep it going.
Recently, though,
I started talking to this other girl
I met on Instagram
and we started talking
when I tweeted a song lyric of an artist
we both like and she favorited it.
Then we went from there.
We started talking and she is amazing.
She's basically everything
that my girl now isn't.
We listen to the same music,
watch the same shows like The Office
and I think we're a perfect match for each other.
The other problem is
she's moving away in August to California
and I live in New Jersey.
So I'll barely ever...
That's her.
So I'll barely ever get to see her.
I'm not sure if I should end things
with my girl now
or go for the girl I just started talking to.
Who could possibly be the one?
Or should I just stay with my current girl?
Again, I will barely get to see her,
but I'm way better off with her
than with who I am right now.
Help me navigate
out of this Bermuda love triangle.
Thanks, love Hampton.
Alright.
One more time for Hampton.
Give it up.
This is a sticky love triangle.
Indeed.
It's not necessarily a triangle.
It's more like a parenthesis.
There's three nodes,
but the last one doesn't connect.
What is the one that's a parenthesis
that's a carrot?
I just fell asleep for a second.
Follow me here.
Is it a carrot?
What is it called when a parenthesis
has a sharp angle at the tip of it?
A bracket? No, that's a rectangular parenthesis.
Is it like a greater than or a less than?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's in a greater than.
Although it sounds like he's in a less than.
And what he should do is...
Yeah.
And what he should do is make it a less than
one or two.
Yeah, which is when you stand next to another couple
that doesn't know you.
I'm surprised that many people
were able to visualize that.
I didn't know what the fuck was going on.
So he
is in love with this girl
who makes him miserable to start.
That he's met once.
That he's met one time.
And that's good to him.
That's clever for himself.
It's a win. That's a positive in his life.
That's a plus.
They don't get along. They're mad at each other.
It's ultimately destructive, but he's seen her one time.
But when you're in love, you know.
And when you know, you know.
Well, the other thing is that he met somebody
on Instagram through tweeting at them.
Yeah, what's up with that, Hampton?
It sounds like he doesn't...
He wants to know what love is.
He wants somebody to show him.
Yeah.
He wants to know what love is.
I wish I knew the rest of that song.
So do I, but if you listen to that,
it's Bill Collins, right?
Of course it's not Bill Collins.
I was kidding.
Whitney Houston?
Of course it's not Whitney Houston.
He was kidding.
I want to know what love is.
It's definitely a woman.
I want you to show me.
Foreigner.
Foreigner? No, he's definitely American.
Maybe it was Bill Collins.
I'm kidding.
I don't even know what to tell this guy, though.
He...
How do you meet someone on Instagram?
Because I have an Instagram, and I've never met someone on Instagram.
I could meet someone on Instagram.
Nice, dude.
I did lick your hand.
Tapkin?
Ta-da.
Uh, I guess you can meet someone on anything.
Can you meet someone on Yelp?
You fucked your Uber driver.
On the way here.
On the way over here, I blew the Uber driver.
You got Road Dome from him.
As he was driving.
That's right.
Yeah, and worst part is I gave him three stars.
Wow.
Yeah.
Three stars is definitely the least
given rating, right?
Three stars?
Yeah, it's either great or bad,
but how often are you like,
you know what, that was pretty alright.
Yeah, it's great A average.
Yeah, I'll give him a C.
Period.
C period.
C period, run.
Run, period.
Run.
Holy shit.
A, B, C.
D, E, F, and G.
It's the alphabet.
Don't get wet.
Please stay dry as I
recite all the letters to your eyes.
It's taken up where?
I want
people who
missed that part in the beginning to be like,
holy shit, why was that a thing?
When did Jake make that?
I did it.
What a mean thing.
So malicious.
Just lying on the floor in my room at home
coloring it in.
Did one person color it all in?
You had to have bought a marker.
You had to have bought a poster.
They could have had a sharpie.
Did you all have a sharpie?
You bought everything.
There was a tag on the,
I don't know how much they paid for that
poster. Can you see that?
It's actually pretty worth it.
It's a real good price.
I don't begrudge the price.
So this guy's not actually in love with anybody, right?
Because he says, I'm in love with this girl
so I can't break up with her.
But this other girl might be the one.
So if you think somebody else is the one,
then you're not in love with the first girl.
And also if you think that somebody is the one
that you just found, then she's not the one.
So you're not in love with anybody.
Cheers!
Holy shit.
That was absurd.
What was that?
The end?
Yeah, I didn't breathe, but let's go.
Onto the next. One more time for Hampton.
We need a what?
Chill, dude.
What do you got? Somewhere to go?
We need a what?
Hat. Show some respect.
Oh my god, you're bald.
Respect the master.
Kiss my ring, bitch.
That's your pinky, asshole.
The master has a request.
Kiss the master's ring.
His ring finger or the ring on your pinky?
Which, by the way, is pretty weird that you have one.
I deserved to be kissed. I had to do it myself.
Didn't do it. Didn't do it.
Alright.
The master.
I am the master.
Alright, we need a guy's name.
Mose!
Mose!
Mose!
Mose!
Mose!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait. Enough.
Hey, you have your hand up.
That's nice and polite.
What is it?
What do you say? What?
Benda.
Is that somebody's name that you know?
It's a friend's name. Really?
Also had a funeral.
Same dude. Hottie's friend.
Benda and Hottie both had someone die in their life.
He's in Kansas City.
He's in Kansas City?
That's like just as depressing as being in a funeral.
I'd rather go to a funeral.
Guys, if you're listening at home from Kansas City,
obviously I'm joking.
We've got a show in Kansas City tomorrow.
Not anymore.
We'll be making fun of Los Angeles.
Benda writes,
I'm a senior in high school and a few months
I will be going to college straight up.
I absolutely loathe
the taste of mint.
Everyone shut the fuck up.
This is important.
Not sure why.
Maybe it's because I don't have a sense of smell,
but if something even kind of minty
happens, it burns my mouth
and makes me gag and want to puke.
The toothpaste I currently use
is a very mild mint.
Wait, wait, wait.
People were fucking laughing. Shut up.
What kind of toothpaste does he currently use?
A very mild mint.
Okay.
And it's only found at his local dentist's office
which he won't have access to when he leaves for home.
When he leaves home.
I looked around for other mild mint
toothpaste,
but none of them suit my toothbrushing needs.
Is it bitchly of me to use a children's
toothpaste?
There are no adult buried
toothpaste.
It's either harsh mint or some kind of
lime shit.
I don't want to get
put on blast in college for having
Buzz Lightyear on my toothpaste bottle.
But I don't want it to have to
mentally pump myself up every time I need
to brush my teeth either.
You can see the predicament I'm in. Please help.
Yours truly.
Benda.
Props to you for remembering everybody's
name all the time.
That was the first time you've ever complimented me.
That's correct.
That's also the first time you've ever thanked me.
Thank you very much. Kiss the ring, man.
Kiss the ring.
Of the master. It should be an honor for you.
Tell you what.
I'll put my finger right here.
He did not kiss it. Don't cheer.
Tell you what. I'll put it right here.
Jesus.
That was a kiss.
That was the first time
you ever kissed me, man.
Actually, that's not true.
Sorry.
Now, we have kissed on the lips more than once.
All right.
Yeah.
It was for a video.
A gay video, porn video
that we shot.
That was never released.
You had something to say about this question
because I am the same way.
Amir doesn't like the taste of mint.
He's never had a tic-tac.
He rarely chews gum.
I never chew gum.
You've never chewed gum.
Have you ever chewed gum?
I've never chewed gum.
He's never chewed gum.
Yeah.
For whatever reason,
we're so obsessed with mint as the most refreshing thing.
You actually can't find
like he's...
This is coming from me.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't find a non-mint toothpaste.
As a society,
we stress flavors and options and everything.
Serials are this.
There's nine types of Cheerios.
This is Amir's very poorly attended one-man show.
So, I mean, go ahead.
Personally, I think you could order
non-mint toothpaste on Amazon.
It is all children's.
I know this because I went home the other day.
My nieces were there.
It was a strawberry Colgate,
and it was incredible.
It tasted like I was brushing my teeth
with fruit punch.
That's what I want always.
Always.
Unfortunately, the packaging is pink.
There's a giant animatronic strawberry on it.
It says, good for kids foreign up.
It says you can swallow it.
Which I would because it tastes so good.
Does that clean your teeth the same way?
It doesn't.
Because they have...
I feel like you make toothpaste for children
and they have baby teeth that are going to fall out anyway.
So, borderline doesn't matter.
Yeah, they're like rubbing their gums,
swallowing the shit.
It is borderline cool.
I heard from a dentist one time that...
I heard from a dentist one time.
Don't make fun of me, man.
Wait until he tells you twice
before bringing it to the group.
I was so uninterested in this question
that I want to solve it.
This dentist told me that it really doesn't matter
that much about the toothpaste.
It's more about the brushing and the bristles.
You can brush your teeth with water
and that's, you know, not great,
but it's definitely fine.
Teeth falling out?
I swear.
It's totally good.
So what would you do if you were him real quick?
Geez Louise, man.
I think I would go on Amazon and just get...
Child's toothpaste over...
Like the baking soda that doesn't taste like anything.
You brush your teeth with baking soda, right?
He's got baking soda.
That's what that song's about.
You think it's about toothpaste?
Yeah.
And when he says he's in love with the cocoa...
He's talking about the Colgate.
Colgate.
That was good.
That deserved the laugh that my other thing got.
If we can transfer the laughter...
We can in post.
We can...
I would...
I would and I have just suck it up
and get used to the mint. You do get used to the mint.
Yeah, you use my toothpaste now.
That's enough.
I did say everything I wanted to, so...
Sure.
Let me cut you off right there.
I was finished.
Cease.
Done.
Enough.
Absolutely.
It's over.
Let's get it up.
Yeah!
I feel like I haven't turned over this.
Have you looked at all these guys?
I've only looked over here.
As far as I'm concerned, nobody's here.
This guy is the most handsome dude I've ever seen.
You look like a model and a lumberjack.
The best two things you can be.
The model-lumberjack.
Are you related to YouTube?
Your brothers?
No.
Congrats.
But not the older.
Oh, there's an older, hotter brother.
Three brothers?
Each one hotter than the last.
What's the oldest, hottest brother's name?
Steven.
Oh, that's such a cool, hot, old name.
But what's your name?
Greg?
Greg is also cool and hot.
Whoa, it's Steven, Greg, and...
Kremlin.
Oh, my God!
Kremlin.
I'm sorry, you said it was what?
Spencer.
Do you?
Sweet, man.
It must suck.
I mean, I guess you would know to have a younger, hotter brother.
Yeah, my brother's better looking than I am physically,
but I'm taller.
But, like, you're taller, right?
And, like, your face is better.
No offense.
Of course offense taken.
I'm saying...
No offense. It's all offense.
All of that was offense.
No, it's a compliment to Steven, who's an angel.
And I'm not trying to offend Spencer, who's a troll.
You are.
You've called him...
First of all, I take offense to your fence
and offense to your troll.
Sorry, regardless, let's forget about Spencer
the way every woman in the world should.
And we'll only talk about Steven,
who is...
Who is...
He's a runway model meets
a bridge worker or something.
Wow.
Yeah, you look sensitive and strong.
Like, you could kill someone if you had to,
but you wouldn't want to.
It's the last thing you'd want to do.
That's part of a Spencer thing to do.
Spencer, haven't you accidentally killed a few people?
This is Mufasa and Scar.
Scar.
All right, let's move on.
But we're going to hang out after the show.
I'm so sorry.
You're all so hot.
You don't get to do that.
I'm sorry, you're all so hot anyway.
No, you're cute. You're cute.
You're cute.
Even though...
Should we take our break now?
It is sort of a halfway point.
Let's relax a little bit.
What should we talk about?
I hate to keep...
During our breaks, Jake usually
talks about his virginity story,
which is somewhat of...
somewhat of an urban legend,
an old, or I should say
new wives tale, because it happened not too long ago, but...
You guys are great, by the way. Thank you.
Yeah, wow. This is the best crowd
we've ever had at the Hollywood Imp.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have not said that to every single crowd.
You have, but every time you've meant it.
It's true.
Hey, have you been to the show before, Steph?
Are you talking to Steven Spencer?
I'm calling him Steph now, because we're sort of close.
Do you spell it S-T-E-P-H-E-N?
Oh, my God, he spells it the cool way.
With that V?
As in I'd like to lose my V?
To V?
Can't you see?
Oh.
Shit, do I know how to sing?
You actually don't.
Okay. I have perfect pitch.
Call out a note.
C.
C.
Can I find it?
No.
Call out another one.
Wait, we don't even know if you're getting it right.
A.
Sounded a lot like C.
A sounds a lot like C.
Oh.
Awful.
It sounds like Wally dying. I don't know.
Is it possible to sing
something that's not a note?
That's actually the beginning of a beautiful song.
Is it possible to sing
something that's not a note?
Is it possible to sing
lyrics that have been
wrote?
Is it possible
to swing
to a castle
through a boat?
Now I
very cold so
I'll put on a jacket.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
I want the show to be over.
What happened now is that was the
peak.
That was the crescendo.
You do know music.
Let's take a break for those of you listening at home.
Enjoy this commercial break.
I'm sure it's a great sponsor and we'll be right back.
Let's give it a big round of applause.

I'm not afraid of
anything we do have time
for one more question can you handle it
I can handle it can everybody else
they all y'all
know it once and we leave
alright
trying to decide which one is funnier
should we do the
the gun one or the speech one
gun let's do gun
we need a
she just wants us to make a speech
we need a name
gun is a good name
gun
gun gun is the name
tell me gun
crayndas
crayndas I do love you
we're gonna do it
crayndas right
the key to my heart let's do it
here's the sitch
I'm a 19 year old dude
and I'm not gonna lie I'm an alpha male
and what goes with being
an alpha male gun ownership
the only problem is
I'm still living with my mom
in her spare room start again and read this
in the accent that it deserves
I'm a 19 year old dude
I'm not gonna lie I'm an alpha male
and what goes with being an alpha male
gun ownership
I
only problem is
I'm still living
in my mom's spare room
and the prissy bitch says I can't have one
she says she doesn't trust me
because she
because I crashed her car
I did
he didn't write that did he
he did
I cannot convince my killjoy mom
to let me have a gun
and when I get it
how can I use it to get a girl
love crayndas
he's in a sticky situation
is there any I mean
he shouldn't have a gun
the problem is he's still living
with his mom
and when you live with your mom
you gotta do the mommy rules
whatever she says goes unfortunately
not to mention that he is filled with rage
yeah
he's a pussy bitch of a mom doesn't want him to have a
he calls her a killjoy
he used the word kill
and then he wants a gun
I think you should
like if you write
yeah no you don't get a gun
oh this is you this is you at walmart telling him so
I would like to be a gun judge
a gun judge
you don't get a gun
would you ever say you do get a gun
no
it seems like he
he can't have it both ways unfortunately
you live when you live with your parents
and you can't afford to live by yourself you don't get to make up the rules
especially when the rules include
buying things that murder other things
that's like a huge no-no
the sad thing is like if he just got
the gun then he would make up the rules
wait a minute
you don't think he doesn't have to
ask his mommy for permission
not once he has the gun
once you got a gun
who do you ask for permission
holy shit you've changed
the gun's a permission slit oh my god I've had too much
it's frontier whiskey
so you
you're right Amir should chuck it
but let's give him the support that he deserves
by asking me to
ah queer ah queer
ah queer ah queer
ah queer ah queer
ah queer
I feel like I shouldn't drink to that
Amir
Amir ah Amir
shmuel shmuel
no no no no no
but I am the master
you drink
if we have
that one that one was really simple
I do want to get to one more question
if you guys are okay with that is that alright
we can call this guy gun
sure
gun is it okay with the beard
yes
I walk around my house all the time
seriously you're positive I like that about you
stop talking to the beard
sorry
can you two fuck
I just feel like
if Steven and the beard had a child
that would be my
that's a god that I would worship
you know how that works though
that doesn't happen like that happens
no it doesn't right
why do you say a right question mark after that
doesn't happen like that right
are you asking me or are you telling me
that two guys cannot have
a genetic child
two dudes can't have a kid obviously
and you agree
I feel like I don't
have to agree it is
public knowledge it is common sense
that they cannot
make child with one another
unless no way
no chance in fucking hell
no matter even if you had
maybe there's an amount of money that you can have
that will get shit done
just because science can pull shit off
that you didn't think possible maybe
but no
alright last question
yes please
guy named gun writes
I'm a senior in high school and a virgin
this is most likely due to the fact that I'm
anti-social
yes
I've had a few girlfriends throughout high school but nothing too serious
most kids party a lot
but I don't
have a lot of time training
and now that I've received my scholarship
I want to start being a part of the scene
part of that scene
what would I give
is there a way
to become part of the party scene
even though everyone has already
even though everyone already has their squad
is the best
way to have sex to find a girlfriend
or a random drunk chick
help
love gun
you at sex in high school how does it work
your uncle
how does he join a squad
no I want in on the squad
hey you guys seem like a cool bunch of chaps
can I be a part of the squad
I have a resume I'm proficient in
Microsoft Excel
oh yeah you're getting a wedgie
and you're just standing there by yourself
is this hazing
am I squad legal
this was you in high school
I feel like you actually weren't cool
until you were 30
is that true I'm not trying to make fun of them
I really am not
can you tell the world to me that you think I'm cool now
sure I'm wearing a shirt
that Marty purchased for himself
and I have borrowed shoes that another friend recommended
socks that yet another friend told me to wear
you chose the glasses on your own
no my mommy did
can I be part of your squad
what did not having sex
in high school become bad
I feel like that was average back in the day
is that what's average
average is sex in high school or knows who you're at
sex in high school
okay so he heard didn't have sex
in high school
this crowd doesn't count they listen to
you guys are all being the podcast
fuck you guys
so how does it work how do you have sex in high school
you can't make you if you say squad
I think it's too late for you
that ship has squatted
I'm trying to remember what I did in high
I mean I was like
I got fake cool in high school
you know what I did
it was in middle school
I had a condom in my wallet
of course I never used it
but my friends found out that I had a condom
and they thought maybe I had sex
so start lying
that's how I'm cool now
so you buy a condom
and then people are like wait you use a condom
not this one but I might
do they ever
put the pieces together it's like wait if he used
a condom he wouldn't actually have one on him
he wouldn't have a condom
they never go there do they
no maybe not
I don't know
let me think about it for one second
we have all the time in the world
can I ask Steven
oh he definitely got laid in high
school right
I haven't turned around but I think he's having sex
right now
well the girl is sitting on his lap
but it seems like they're fucking
wow cool I'm going to turn around and look at him right
3, 2, 1
he's blowing Spencer
my advice is
nerds
or uncool or virgins as they were
in high school
nerds or uncools or virgins
in high school
get cooler over time
cool if you're a loot
you can only be a cool for 10 years
if you're a cool
at 16
your cup runneth over
yeah your time runneth
out
you're not cool anymore by the time you're 26
so you're saying his time in the sun
is coming
I'm saying coolness is a normal
distribution a bell curve
Christ you're saying
you're cool right now talking about bell curves
I think I'm two standard
deviations away from the apex
I fear I'm already coming
off of it
I fear I'm in the 95th percentile
of my time on cool earth
for you can only be cool for so long
what I'm telling this guy is
it has to get better it can't get worse
you're plateauing you're starting to become
like a cool
you don't want to become cool in high school I don't think
you don't want to peak right now
when's the best time to peak
in your 30s
you're right
you're right nobody
where would you say you are right now
I'm on
a minor descent
but you have to understand that I
peak so high
you burn so bright
you felt so wrong
it felt so right
you went to bed
went to bed
a sleepy head
woke up
with a quince
for you are
a prince
become a king
become a king
your song do sing
stay cool forever
forever not
never
that was the end of the poem
that's our time guys
let's give it up
for Amir
