Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Head Gum Original. He got went down on the day Not by his wife, I'm sorry to say Another girl, what was her name? Well, it don't matter anyway He feels guilty, he feels small Betrayed his lady, dick and all How they tell her what he's done
Starting point is 00:00:56 How they fight the urge to run My man's confused on what to do Maybe he'll write to if I were you Sure those boys'll know what to say Maybe just simply I love you babe She's in the kitchen cleaning plates Maybe she'll forgive all of his mistakes Well after all it was only third base
Starting point is 00:01:51 He just needs the perfect phrase He got went down on the day He knows for his crimes that he must pay And soon he'll be a man and say He got went down on the day Well, that was eye opening Yeah, it was a little long, little long, right? Did it feel a little long to anybody else?
Starting point is 00:02:49 It felt short to me I guess it's because they wrote a song based on something that you said I got went down on today is the name of that parody Based on a line I said not two weeks ago today Not really a parody though, is it? Well it is a satire, it's a cover It's a cover? Don't you interrupt me boy
Starting point is 00:03:17 He stopped loving her today by George Jones By many as one of the saddest songs ever written Oh, I wouldn't say that at all Matthew Kazakos said my version is not only sadder than the original But also has worse diction thanks in kind to your fallatio phrasing From the last episode That's good, that's a good song He'd written a few other themes including the ballad of Harbo and Samuelson cover
Starting point is 00:03:45 After which he debated if I was Irish I'm actually an Aussie living in Brunswick, Melbourne So hit me up if you ever Open a headgum branch here I'm thinking about it, I'm absolutely thinking about it My comedy travel podcast unpacked on Spotify and iTunes About people's crazy stories from all over the world It's really good but the problem is no one listens to it
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah, that's probably a lot of podcasts actually And then they write a lot of good podcasts Yeah, it's not the cream that rises to the top It's actually just whoever comes in with the most fans gets the followers And it's not really a meritocracy today I went got down on You said your own wrong line wrong I went got down
Starting point is 00:04:32 Double went down on got down Double went down to got not The double went down to got not Today's been pretty random Were those listening at home, catching up We are in separate studios but studios none the less We should call it in studios That's good
Starting point is 00:04:58 Or what about in two-de-os That's good because it's two studios But the two-de-os is actually what we call the studio for NADPOD Because we roll a lot of twos on the 20-sided die So that is trademarked, that is copy written You will be getting a cease and desist You will be hearing from my lawyer That's crazy, I just said it
Starting point is 00:05:20 You're ruined I throw a joke, there's no way you can come after me You can trespass on a trademark You'd have to make a claim that my joke actually stopped you guys from making money Oh, there you go, yeah No, not there you go That's perfect We don't go, there we don't go actually
Starting point is 00:05:39 Um, this is if I were you The only advice pod on the web hosted by us I'm AB Oh no Yeah, I'm just an initial guy now That is what Billy Scafuri calls you Oh that's right, AB He's a huge initial guy
Starting point is 00:05:55 Although J.H. doesn't really work Billy calls me Jack So we can go with that AB and Jack AB is good because it flows J.H. is kind of like, is that one letter? J.H. It's obviously not one letter
Starting point is 00:06:12 J.H. It really isn't It actually is a pretty good I'm not even trying to be glib I think that's one of the worst two letters that you could pick No, those are two strong fucking letters What's the worst initials? The worst initials?
Starting point is 00:06:28 How's it going? It's got to be WV But actually that looks really cool But it's hard to say Never mind, WV is pretty solid Because it's just, your signature would just be like a fucking, you know Phone line thing What about OI?
Starting point is 00:06:42 OI? How's it going, OI? OI Now I'm sounding Australian myself OI, how's it going? OI AB That's actually, might be the goat too
Starting point is 00:06:55 Now that I think about it No, no, no, no, it's definitely not I think, I think duo letters is kind of the goat J.J. Yeah, J.J. is pretty solid J.D. J.V. J.V.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Obviously J. J goes with a lot except for H J.V. is my wife's initials And you'll take them out of your fucking mouth Before I sue you into oblivion Yeah Yeah trademark, my wife's initials I copyrighted my wife's fucking initials
Starting point is 00:07:23 So you can't say this It already means something And prevent me from making cash off of them Yeah Let's move on D.H. T.H. is pretty bad D.H. is not a designated H
Starting point is 00:07:36 H is good H is good I said T.H. And I resent Hm? T.H. Oh, T.H. Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:44 No one is calling Tom Hanks that T.H. Yeah, they call him Hanks Yeah, exactly Yeah Exactly Oh, how about A.C. is not bad
Starting point is 00:07:53 A.C. is pretty good How about Jeffrey James? G.J. That's hard to say J.G. And hard to be G.J. G.J.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, that's not ideal G.N. How about G.N. Do you want to see that? G.N. Nugent How's it going? G.N.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Well, you can say G.N. as in good night Yeah I.Y. Oh, wow Actually, I'm thinking of all our producers John Graham, J.G. Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:19 You know, not much better than G.J. So E.F. Emma That's pretty solid E.F. But I think K.C. Donahue
Starting point is 00:08:28 With the C.D. That's cool Takes the case Yeah, takes the case, I should say That's really good K.C. does anybody call you C.D. People have called me C.D. before
Starting point is 00:08:39 Oh, yeah, he has gotten C.D. before Yeah, that's a good nickname C.D. Yeah Okay, what the fuck are we doing with our lives? All right, answering questions Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:49 So these are real questions from real people They send them on down to ifireashowatgmail.com Parse through them Find the greatest, the best of the best Right Not like podcasting We actually do read them all And decide which ones are the goat
Starting point is 00:09:03 Right Here's one that says Hands of a clam, make this man a sham Okay We should call this guy Poseidon Because they're of the sea That's really good Right
Starting point is 00:09:18 Hello you cowboys, koi boys I'm in a bit of a sticky naysweaty situation I'm a 22-year-old female from the west coast And I often get clammy hands Okay My body tends to run at low temperatures So my somewhat thin hands are often cold But also moist
Starting point is 00:09:32 Don't ask me why Cold and moist I don't know Either one of these things on its own Wouldn't bother me much But the two together make for a pretty revolting combination I'm starting the new chapter of my life Post-college
Starting point is 00:09:46 And I don't want people to judge me I don't want the people I meet to have to handle What feels like a melting ice cube at the end of my wrist Help, what can I do to make sure I extend A warmer, drier greeting to the people I meet By the way, I've been listening to the podcast off and on Since 2014 And I'm finally all caught up with a Patreon subscription
Starting point is 00:10:06 To boot, holy smokes, thank you Gracias Alright Poseidon What do you think? Well, it feels like the pandemic is, like, well timed Because, like, before it was kind of weird If you didn't shake someone's hand Right
Starting point is 00:10:22 And now she can kind of, like, get by On not wanting to touch other people's hands Rather than, you know, not wanting people to touch her hands Or something, like, feeling like They're gonna be grossed out She can just be like, I'm grossed out by human contact So you just start doing the fist bump I was hoping that, like, the handshake would just sort of go
Starting point is 00:10:43 After the pandemic faded to black But, like, people are still shaking hands I missed it I love shaking hands, I always love shaking hands Firm handshake Over a fist bump It's a connection, yeah, no, I like I like contact, I like contact
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah, I always prefer the fist bump Or, like, the wave, hello, how do you do? How's it going? But, yeah, and then I often feel like I'm sort of The bow was nice I do like the bow, really, you know, showing deference And then, yeah, then my subordinate obviously must bow lower And thus I am satisfied
Starting point is 00:11:16 Have we talked about your subordinate on the show? Oh, no, my subordinate, yeah You totally hired kind of out of the blue A random subordinate Yeah, I did It was so weird I started getting texts from the subordinate Instead of you
Starting point is 00:11:31 So he's just sort of He's like the middle subordinate, basically So he's like planning everything? Well, I gave him a phone recently But he wasn't supposed to text you What if he, hold on Gordon, Gordon Gordon the subordinate?
Starting point is 00:11:48 The subordinate? A potbelly pig wanders through the door Oh, yeah, I turned him into a pig the other day for So I'm talking back to me Yeah, I think So I put a spell on him I got another subordinate to do that, to coordinate A coordinate, the subordinate
Starting point is 00:12:09 Subordinate often coordinates Fist bump or bow as a means of avoiding the clammy hand Yeah, yeah, because I don't think, like I feel like I've seen people kind of like wipe their hands before they They shake And I feel like all that actually does is signal to me That their hand is going to be wet Or was dirty or something
Starting point is 00:12:32 So I think you, you know, pre-pandemic You just lean in and you own the fact that it's wet But you don't do any wipeage And post-pandemic, you just defer to the bow Or the fist bump The namaste Yeah, the namaste, a salute Hearing these questions just makes me realize how many things can be
Starting point is 00:12:55 Off about one's body Like some people are just dealing with this their whole lives And other people don't even think about the clammyness of their hands Wait, did I talk about this show that I've never had a stomach ache? No I did, I thought, I didn't You've talked about how you've never burped Right
Starting point is 00:13:13 You've talked about getting food poisoning, which feels like a stomach ache I've never had, no, I've never had a stomach ache Didn't you also say like Never hurt Well, you've puked before Yeah, I don't, and this is what Jill says to me too But I don't feel that in my stomach, I feel that in my head I feel like when I'm nauseous, I think what other people feel is like a rumbly and the tumbling
Starting point is 00:13:40 You know, like cramping and they like Diarrhea Yeah Whenever I'm sick, I feel it in my head I just feel like lightheaded and a little dizzy Or I have a headache Did you also say recently, like when you have a big, when you have pizza recently, you get like heartburn or something like that Like cheese
Starting point is 00:13:59 That's in the chest, that's in the chest That's in the chest Okay You're sort of skirting by on a technicality I don't think so Because you've had diarrhea and you've had vomiting You've had food poisoning and you've had heartburn You've had gas that's trapped from not being a heartburn
Starting point is 00:14:14 My stomach's never hurt It is never hurt Sometimes when I feel bloated, it's not in the stomach, it's in the chest It's impossible, but okay, I'll give it to you Nothing You're squeezing it right now It's in a little pain If I can get my belly button
Starting point is 00:14:32 I have dermatitis I truly never had a stomach ache Really? Yeah Keep us posted on that Okay I don't believe you, but yeah, keep us posted I'm honest about my other ailments
Starting point is 00:14:48 I have many ailments But my stomach has never been an issue When you said there's so many things that can go wrong Why did you say that? What was on your mind that's gone wrong with you? Oh, just like your nose, your lips Oh, the way your beard is Oh, your skinny shoulders
Starting point is 00:15:09 The weird teeth, gray hair My hamstring feels tight That's it, I was going to give you a hamstring What's wrong with my teeth? I actually remember When we were running one night in New York And you pulled your hamstring Yes, we were sprinting
Starting point is 00:15:29 Yeah, we like got into a foot race And I think you, we were racing to the corner Yeah, but you beat me You outstepped me at the last second Oh, really? Yeah, then we had to kind of walk It was worth it I did that against like
Starting point is 00:15:45 Early on in the college humor days I also did a foot race against canal And then my hamstrings felt so tight the next day I guess because when you're sprinting You're basically stretching this rubber band Over and over in a way that you never ever do Unless you like stretch, which I don't Right

Starting point is 00:19:42 And my other advice I downloaded an app For stretching Because you'd mentioned your hamstrings And that you don't stretch And I also wasn't stretching My hammies are tight, yeah And I was kind of trying to like
Starting point is 00:19:56 Add in yoga to my routine To keep me stretched out in limber But I kept on kind of skipping it Because I didn't feel like doing 40 minutes to an hour of yoga Yeah It's like at a certain point You gotta cut yourself off
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah, it's just A lot of people love yoga And I think yoga is great If it's for you But it's just not for me Like I find a lot of the poses Too uncomfortable And I'm...
Starting point is 00:20:20 I don't relax when I'm doing it I'm sort of constantly wondering When it's gonna be over Yeah But this... I bet a bunch of yoga heads Would be like, well then You're not doing it right
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, exactly I am not doing it right I'm doing it wrong And I've tried to do it for like You know, 15 years And I'm not getting it So I think I'm just gonna stop Because I like other stuff
Starting point is 00:20:39 But... But there's an app called Stretch It that I downloaded And I'm taking a 90-day platinum Flexibility course Wow You're gonna be able to touch your toes Is that the goal?
Starting point is 00:20:51 I can already touch my toes I can touch my toes Really, without bending your knees? Yeah, if I'm standing up Yeah Let's see it We're doing this in a studio We can see it on the YouTube
Starting point is 00:21:00 If you can... Let's see I can't... Okay, so right now Your hands are dangling About an inch above your knees I've never seen someone that stiff before Oh, that's good
Starting point is 00:21:12 That's pliable Are you touching your toes? Are you going full palm on the ground? I sort of missed it Were you... So I'm not like Full palm on the ground But I can get
Starting point is 00:21:20 About half my hand under my feet Like I can touch the soles of my feet Okay, that's far And I used to not be able To touch my toes at all And I don't credit the platinum Flexibility course That just started seven days ago
Starting point is 00:21:32 Got it But I've been working on stretching And trying to be a little more flexible Because, you know, I have tight hip flexors And tight quads Yeah The base of my neck Sometimes some...
Starting point is 00:21:47 I've never had a stomach ache But I'll have like a little bit of pain Here where my shoulders meet the neck Yeah, soreness and tightness And nerve pinching sensation Right So my buddy Miles and Carnell Also had this
Starting point is 00:22:01 And Jeff has it now too There's this app called Stretch It Where you can just Take different flexibility challenges Oh, that's cool And yeah, Monday 9 of the 90-day platinum flexibility challenge I think what I have in my hammy
Starting point is 00:22:17 Is like beyond just a source of hammy I think I looked it up Because I'm like, it hurts the most When I'm seated and driving And somebody was like That's like some sort of hamstring tendinopathy Or something like that Where you like have to sit on a pillow
Starting point is 00:22:31 To have it help And it's like stretching Your hamstring is actually not good for that Interesting You have to sort of not stretch it So I'm not really sure entirely I'm doing that thing where I'm just Ignoring the problem and hoping that it goes away
Starting point is 00:22:41 Even though it's been like two years at this point Yeah, look, if you... If you're hurt when you're seated Couldn't it be like a tight IT band? You should be foam rolling You foam rolling? No, I don't do anything I just play sports
Starting point is 00:22:52 And again, hope that I don't get hurt Do you still take baths? I do take baths That should help And it helps when I'm in my bath, of course But then after playing tennis and or basketball It feels tight again Right
Starting point is 00:23:05 And you don't stretch it all after those activities No, God no Not even like a light, like a casual Grab the toe behind your back Little quad stretch Sometimes I'll do like, yeah Grab my foot and do like the quad Or the calf stretch
Starting point is 00:23:20 Because that feels good The hamstring stretch, the groin stretch Those are the ones that just don't feel good Even when I'm doing them Interesting Alright, well, check out this out Stretch it Stretch it, because yeah, every single day
Starting point is 00:23:30 Is a new, in the platinum flexibility challenge Or the 90-day platinum flexibility course I should say You keep saying platinum like you've earned it You haven't done anything I've done seven or eight days Of the platinum flexibility course Yeah, but again, it's the way you pronounce platinum
Starting point is 00:23:48 I meant to say the 90-day platinum flexibility course Yeah, that's it It's just platinum flexibility Not platinum, platinum You didn't earn that Yes, it did You didn't earn doing it You just doubted it
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah Of the 90-day platinum flexibility course Half platinum You should download it though Because some days it's like, you know As little as like six minutes And some days, yesterday was a 28-minute back session Which was really nice
Starting point is 00:24:19 That's good But truly like it's There are little stretches that I never even considered Yeah I should do that And they're really helpful Yeah Preventative, yeah
Starting point is 00:24:30 Okay, here's a question we got from Let's call them Jack Skellington Because that sort of reminded me Of this Christmas time situation Okay Even though that's more of a Halloween thing Right It was around Christmas time, writes Jack
Starting point is 00:24:43 That I first visited my girlfriend's house Armed with gifts for the whole family Determined to make a good impression Unfortunately, aside from the parentally coerced Thank you for the present My girlfriend's older sister didn't speak to me Once the entire week I visited Turns out she had resolved beforehand
Starting point is 00:24:58 Not to acknowledge my presence Until I proved that I was Quote worthy of her little sister She didn't even open my gift Cut to three years later and uh-oh I still never had a conversation with her Wow I see my GF's family several times a year
Starting point is 00:25:11 For weddings, holidays and the like But her older sister has yet to say hi to me When I'm hot around She talks openly about how she has no desire To get to know me any better than she already does Which is not to just say not at all Taking the initial cold shoulder as a hint And terrified at the prospect of making things
Starting point is 00:25:27 Any worse than they already are I haven't spoken directly to her either So I'll just accept 50% of the blame Either way, the longer this stalemate lasts The more awkward and stressful it gets Her super chill boyfriend does talk to Oh, the sisters The super super chill boyfriend talks to me
Starting point is 00:25:42 But will not intervene on my behalf My girlfriend has repeatedly pleaded my case In private to no avail At this point, I'm afraid to direct Convertation is the only path to a resolution Visiting them again for the holidays So any advice about how to resolve this silent treatment Would be greatly appreciated
Starting point is 00:25:58 Should I still get her a Christmas present? That's weird Yeah, I don't think you should change Like, get her the Christmas present Maybe you gotta find out what her You find out what the love language is Right? Yeah, it's probably just being a cold,
Starting point is 00:26:14 Calculated, angry woman to you That's her love language Do you think like fighting fire is fire? I would not get her a gift I wouldn't get her a gift I really wouldn't I think you can I don't know
Starting point is 00:26:27 I feel like I feel like there's a chance that The The air just needs to be cleared You know? Yes But for whatever reason she refuses to clear it I wonder what she has
Starting point is 00:26:43 What's this beef? Has she ever acted like this to other boyfriends? Hmm Yeah, have you considered the fact that maybe You're not worthy of the girlfriend? Wow, maybe the sister's right Yes, that's what I'm saying Yeah, because he sort of might not even be worthy
Starting point is 00:26:58 Right, at the end of the day Yeah, but if everyone else is being polite And he's sort of It's kind of weird that The sister likes you Yeah The boyfriend of this woman likes you The parents, if you're going to like
Starting point is 00:27:13 Holiday parties and weddings and stuff They seem to like you So it's like just one holdout That doesn't feel like you're worthy And At that point it should It is a little bit on On her, not on you
Starting point is 00:27:27 Yeah Well, we have to take sides And I for one choose the sister Who do you got? I guess it's not We shouldn't both choose the same side I would have chosen the sister if you hadn't Go ahead and do
Starting point is 00:27:38 Chill boyfriend Who's giving this loser the benefit of the doubt And I think at the very least And his email seemed really polite Nice and Self-aware at the very least About what is going on And he did take 50% of the blame
Starting point is 00:27:51 Which is cool to hear Yeah But ultimately I kind of Think She's bae At the end of the day she is bae Yes Assault bae to be
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah, a salty bae indeed Well, that could be a funny gift Is to give her just a salt themed gift Sort of like a Or you can give her an umbrella Because she's always throwing the shade Oh, that's good Or like a parka and say
Starting point is 00:28:18 Just because you're ice cold to me That's Yeah, I guess What are you talking about? We're riffing When I say something that was so out of line That it deroked The shade was already so perfect
Starting point is 00:28:35 It didn't need to have been yes Anded And then what you did was like Throwing shade This thing where Like now we're riffing on it But then people will be like They did this weird thing
Starting point is 00:28:47 Where like some of the stuff worked And some of the stuff didn't And it kind of Really Now I want to give you a salty gift Yeah You're being salty You actually deserve an umbrella
Starting point is 00:28:58 For all of the shade that you're throwing at me That's really good actually Really do you like that? Back in your good graces What if you get her a football jersey That says she hate me So it's custom XFL jersey She hate me
Starting point is 00:29:13 With an umbrella So you're throwing shade And a DVD of Salt Bay's new restaurant That's fun I think making light of this Weird dark situation Is maybe the only path forward Turn it into a bit
Starting point is 00:29:30 You know Just always try to Try to get her to crack If you can make her smile Then maybe she'll eventually Warm up to you Have you ever dealt with a sibling That didn't like you that much?
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yeah Yes I have Many younger brother Older sister What was the situation? It's happened in A few different relationships An older brother
Starting point is 00:29:54 For one Yeah, protective What's that? Yeah, protective Yeah, I think just didn't trust My motivations He didn't Didn't think that your intentions
Starting point is 00:30:07 Were pure Yeah And I don't think I really won him Over in any special way It was just it took time Everything takes time But
Starting point is 00:30:19 The weird thing is here You've given it three years So something else is amiss Yeah There's something else What about parents? Parents always like you Or also
Starting point is 00:30:28 Some could be colder than others No, parents almost Parents There's always a journey They don't like me at first And then after like I really I think they don't like the
Starting point is 00:30:41 The way I sound On paper to somebody But then when I meet them They like me What's the like Back when you were just like Working at a website You mean like that?
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah, or like before that When I was just a college dropout That had an internship That wasn't like A good look What does he do? He's actually an intern Yeah

Starting point is 00:36:47 Finally The rock has come back Did you see Black Adam? No, no Is it good? Do you plan on it or that's sort of not in your Marvel Cinematic Universe? I'll see it eventually I will not
Starting point is 00:37:02 I don't go to the movies anymore I don't know what could really make me go to a film Interesting I go to the movies eventually when I'm on a plane The best place to view them You don't romanticize the movie going experience Every time I go I have a great time It never occurs to me and whenever anybody else suggests it
Starting point is 00:37:21 It sounds like too much But if I'm physically dragged there I will have an awesome time and then say on my way out Why don't we go to the movies more We should really go to the movies more I'm gonna start going to movies and then The smell of the popcorn The movies of a ticket being torn
Starting point is 00:37:38 You're sitting down With a group of friends The energy is palpable The trailers come on The jacket over the seat The guy is going in front of you Even in any town USA You're having an evidence
Starting point is 00:37:54 I'm gonna go pee before the movie starts I'm gonna go pee before it starts So I drop the pee during the film And then scooting by Scooting by Oh sorry I stepped on your foot And on purpose what are you doing sir What are you doing
Starting point is 00:38:08 Hey you're shoving me Oh sure Oh sure Being accosted I love the movies I love the movies I was trying to talk about like the fun parts of it I've never
Starting point is 00:38:26 I've never not gotten my ass kicked When I go to a film How's that for fucking weird I'm walking by Accidentally kick over a 64 ounce Doctor Pepper Holy shit I'm so sorry That got on your ankles
Starting point is 00:38:42 Let me get you some paper towels in the front I'm not cutting in line I just spilled the drink I because if I go to the fucking bathroom to get it All they have are these They have an air dryer What am I supposed to do there Using a stranger's jacket To mop up the Doctor Pepper
Starting point is 00:39:00 But that's I've seen this one before And why are you here Spoiling the end Oh yeah This is the one where the guy ends up being the bad guy at the end No wonder you hate it Because it hates you
Starting point is 00:39:21 Right I'm rejected by the movies Alright here's a question called snap chatting ears Hmm So we'll call this gentleman Mickey Mickey my friend This may seem like a generic question But it's something that I genuinely have no idea what to do I'm a college student
Starting point is 00:39:41 You should come back to Minneapolis by the way And I've been talking to a girl for two months now It's all very confusing yet super flirty And we have gone on a few dates and have had a good time The issue is that she keeps mentioning how she just got out of a long distance relationship last summer And does not want to date right now However she likes me and wants to be more than friends So she feels bad asking me to wait for her to be ready
Starting point is 00:40:02 This becomes a problem because she rejects hanging out with me most of the time And when she snapchats me she only sends me pictures of the side of her head And if I see one more ear I'm going to go crazy How do I move this process of getting to know her forward when she is resisting everything Yet still stringing me along by saying she likes me and is flirting with me You can't really love Do you think that's an excuse? You just have to wait? Do you think that's an excuse?
Starting point is 00:40:32 Or is she actually not over somebody slash trying to see this guy? It sounds like it's, I mean, I've heard that before It sounds valid enough I think if she really wasn't interested she'd hopefully have the huevos to tell you It sounds like at the very least she likes that you like her And I don't think there's a way you can, you can't move it forward yourself I think all you can do is elect to be strung on or cut the string I would cut the string
Starting point is 00:41:10 And I've had it before too You just say, I understand you're not ready But I don't like where, I don't like living in this limbo So I'm out And if you are ready, feel free to reach out But you're cutting ties And then do it It also, it's better to do it that way than to be the one that's constantly trying to see
Starting point is 00:41:32 And then she sort of gets annoyed in that way And honestly makes you look better to her also by saying I'm out I'm not interested And you're also like, you're kind of taking the situation back under control Because right now she kind of has everything she theoretically wants She has a guy that likes her that she can slow play And then also do her thing without getting into a serious relationship And she's like, oh yeah, he'll be around when I want him to be
Starting point is 00:41:56 But you just, you know, your move is to say I actually won't be It's now or never And then she can decide if she's ready If you're worth it Or if she wants to just hang out and do her thing What do you make of the ears of it all? I think sometimes people are insecure about certain angles Or the way that their face will look
Starting point is 00:42:25 So they I have a weird ear So I would not send that Yeah, what episode is that from? I have a weird ear I think it's the one where I have a Bluetooth And I'm like trying to like sort of chew gum and talk on the phone a lot Yeah, that's a good one
Starting point is 00:42:46 And you're like, just put the fucking Bluetooth in And I'm like, I have a weird ear Cauliflower Yeah, God, that's good And broccoli ass My entire fucking person is a salad That's right I have asparagus teeth
Starting point is 00:43:05 And a baby carrot cock Ha Ha Ha That's real funny What's that supposed to mean? Like my dick is small? I mean, yeah
Starting point is 00:43:19 Yeah, that's why it's a baby carrot Yeah And not a full fucking thing Right Yeah Oh, that's real It's not just Why don't you take that again
Starting point is 00:43:30 But compare it to an actual size Well, it's also Orange is what I'm trying to say It looks like a cheeto Yes Okay But at the very least, it's a little bit of a longer carrot Or a parsnip
Starting point is 00:43:46 I'll even go so far as to say that it's a parsnip that you cut in half I think it's a thing But for you to say baby carrot, it means that the edges are rounded Ha Don't get me wrong, the color is spot on Which is not the case I think I've asked you this before, but do baby carrots grow like that Or are they shaved down from bigger carrots?
Starting point is 00:44:07 I think you have asked me that before as well And I gave you the correct answer then as I will now They are regular sized carrots that are Honed down to the baby carrot That seems inefficient to me By the way, that is just a guess But I am going to go out and live and say that's right But it's not like pureed carrots that are put into that molded shape either, right?
Starting point is 00:44:33 No It's actually like a piece of wood that's shaved down to that Right I'd imagine they're able to get like a few, like four baby carrots out of a single carrot If it's done right But there's always going to be like the weird edges that just don't belong in the baby Right So yeah, you chop, you take a full carrot, you chop the top, you chop the base
Starting point is 00:44:53 And then you shave, shave, shave And sculpt Shave your booty, yeah What about baby corn? Baby corn grows like that You have the same attitude towards the corn Baby corn is grown like that Yeah, that's a specific vegetable
Starting point is 00:45:10 Okay All right I'm just asking You're just asking You don't have to lie I'm just answering Yeah You're the one on edge
Starting point is 00:45:19 You're the one on edge I'm not on edge I'm just trying to figure out You keep on laughing and then stopping on a dime with a new, you're Yeah, you're having an episode I'm not This is an episode of our podcast, but I'm not having one episode Is there another baby?
Starting point is 00:45:36 There's like baby potatoes or something Fingerling potatoes, yeah Yeah Finger length potatoes No, it's not finger length potatoes No, I know What are they? Finger length
Starting point is 00:45:54 Finger what? Potatoes You said You said finger length I said that's wrong You said no, I know Yeah There are finger length, but I know they're called something else
Starting point is 00:46:06 They're called something else Yes And what are they? Dingling Dingling? Well, finger length is how big they are Dingling is the style of potato Kind of like how you can have a rye bread
Starting point is 00:46:22 That's perfect, yeah You nailed it, buddy I did Yeah I was honestly trying to talk out of my ass for part But I really didn't know what they were called Until you put me on the spot and I stepped up to the plate And I crushed one out of the park
Starting point is 00:46:39 Blindfolded, homerun, nailed it, first try I'm batting a thousand today Your cock is also finger length What's that supposed to mean? Like I have a small dick Exactly So it's only the size and shape of a finger Exactly
Starting point is 00:47:08 It's also the color of a Cheez-It So yeah There's baby spinach Oh yeah And baby There is baby spinach There's baby arugula There is baby arugula, right?
Starting point is 00:47:19 I don't know Like anything smaller is baby version of that But I don't know if they're genetically modified to be smaller Or they just take the smallest ones Yeah Baby onion? Yeah I don't know if they think it's a baby onion
Starting point is 00:47:32 It's not a baby onion They make them tiny They make them really tiny There's a pearl onion Or a shallot Right Yeah And instead of a baby cucumber
Starting point is 00:47:40 They just call them Persian cucumbers So what's that supposed to be? These are often Persian I mean every time you walk into an Iranian's family house All the babies are Persian That's why they call them Persian cucumbers Instead of baby And then you have tomatoes
Starting point is 00:47:55 And instead of baby tomatoes It's cherry tomatoes Isn't that fascinating? Yeah, grape tomatoes Are those the same thing? Cherry and grapes? Because they look like two different Grape tomatoes
Starting point is 00:48:03 For me Yeah What were you going to say? I was going to say Cherries and grapes look different to me But you call the tomato version the same You fucking dumbass Right
Starting point is 00:48:12 Tomato tomato It's actually more like tomato baby tomato That's really good When you called my dick small Was that because you wanted to see me pissed off? Or do you actually think that I have a situation down there That could be compared to the size of a pinky? And we don't even have to keep this part into the show
Starting point is 00:48:33 Let's not I'm just... It's both It's honestly both Because I know that it riles you up And there's a reason that it riles you up, right? Because it's true Why would you get pissed if it wasn't true?
Starting point is 00:48:46 So I say it And I know that you're going to... I would get pissed if... And it is not true I would get pissed And the reason I am pissed is because It's not true The rumor now
Starting point is 00:48:57 Is so antithetical to what's actually happening there And I can never prove the size of my cock Regardless of how big my car is You know how they say the bigger your car The bigger your dick So I have a Hummer H3 that I can barely afford And that sort of... That message that gets sent to the world is that
Starting point is 00:49:18 I'm hung, well hung actually And then you come on to the show And you say You have a baby carrot down there Which is funny But kind of goes against Not that I do or don't I don't even want to talk about my dick
Starting point is 00:49:32 Frankly You've commandeered the show to talk about Your penis Yeah I made it I'll admit that I've made at least two asides about it Maybe more Maybe more
Starting point is 00:49:45 But I think I still think you're the one harping on it I can see that But ultimately I do Want to have a grand reveal And I don't think that is even possible at this point Let's do our next live show Actually the head gum Happy hour
Starting point is 00:50:06 It's not a bad place to do that Cause that's There's like a hundred tickets I'm just worried that I'll get in trouble Yeah But maybe it'll be fine, I don't know Right I feel like you'd only get in trouble if you confirmed the rumors
Starting point is 00:50:19 And whipped it out And you've had a tiny little orange dick Right Which I don't So I won't be in trouble basically So basically if you do it Then everyone will see And then you won't be in trouble
Starting point is 00:50:32 But if you don't Yeah well I might have a COVID actually on the day So I don't even know if I'll make it to the show Okay Right Okay Yes Exactly
