Had some really sort of wet and wild ones this last week.
It was crazy.
Hey, I'm at a water park.
What do I do?
Some very personal stuff that I was able to help out with.
Cool.
That's great.
You want to go get the merch, you go to lifelinemerch.com.
We've got new merch coming.
So that's what's up.
Oh, yeah.
We've got to talk about that.
We've got to talk about that.
Off air.
Uh-huh.
And that's what's up.
Like and subscribe.
We're changing the name of the channel because it's Shadow Band, unbelievably.
Because it has the word...
It'll be changed by this...
Okay.
So welcome to Super Good. We changed it just very, very minimally. Is that. It'll be changed by this. Okay. So welcome to super good.
We changed it just very, very minimally.
Is that what we changed it to?
Yep.
Okay.
And you know that.
So it's all good.
I don't really read texts from you.
That's shitty.
So what we're going to do is we changed it.
Yep.
So that's it.
So like and subscribe.
And we did it, dude.
Was it shadow banned because it had the word cult in it?
For sure.
Yeah.
That's real stupid. so here's the deal we uh it's been absolutely a fucking mess outside i
don't know where it is how it's been when you where you leave live yeah it's been terrible
but power went out been terrible all across the country we're getting the ass end of it got it so
uh my power went out 9 a.m. It just goes like this.
Gone, right?
I knew it was out because why?
Because the sound machine wasn't on anymore.
And Kristen loves a sound machine, okay?
It just goes, and I'll go, power's probably out.
Looked, power was out.
So then I look out.
Oh, you mean you figured it out the way everyone in history has figured it out?
No, no.
Interesting.
I don't mean that.
You know why?
Because of how the the
darkness it was already the dark poetry it was the darkness because we didn't have any lights on
dude because we didn't have any lights on because we didn't wake up yet because we don't wake up
past nine because calvin sleeps till like 10 30 yeah but what i'm saying is everyone figures out
the power went off when they realize a device that is usually on is not on my shit is like
how do you figure it out if all the devices are off when the only device that is usually on is not on my shit is like how do you figure it out
if all the devices are off when the only device that was on was the sound machine and it wasn't
like the sound it was like that's how but it wasn't like there was a noise that was being made
it was like there was no noise that was being made so i did it in like a good way and like oh wait a
minute usually there's a sound but now there's not a sound that's how everyone figures out the
power's off no dude if the power's off that's how they figure it out so anyway i'm just saying i did it with deductive reasoning
waking up knowing something was off because i have the gift of fear and i know what's up right
okay i have that woman's intuition and so which woman haha um so what i so what i deduced was oh
shit it's gonna be a day right guess what gate wouldn't open cars were
stuck inside but also wasn't it already pouring there was like we were in the middle of a cyclone
was getting to that right so then obviously you knew the power was out all the more reason to know
but also but mostly it was the sound machine thing but then also i heard yes there was a so i go i go
i look outside dude it wasn't like fucking uh the water was coming down the street.
It was like a river was coming down the street.
Yeah.
And it was unbelievable.
And I go like this.
I'm fucked.
I just go like this.
We're fucked all day.
Yeah.
Depending upon where you, in LA, there's a lot of places you can live.
If it rains like that, you're just, you're basically out of commission for at least a
couple of days.
Yes.
You're stuck where you are because the roads close and it's so windy
and already hard to get to
that if one of those roads closes,
hundreds of people
are just totally screwed.
And also,
check this out.
And also check this out.
They don't...
Everyone's like,
well, it's good.
LA needed it.
Dude, LA can take
about four inches of rain
and then the rest of it,
it doesn't help LA
because they don't have the irrigation system all set up.
If they could figure out when they built the city,
when they built LA in every phase,
including all the way up to roads and highways,
they built it as if it not rains infrequently.
They built it as if it never rains, which is idiotic.
Why?
Because it rains everywhere at least sometimes plate it rains everywhere at least sometimes it
rains everywhere at least sometimes so they actually built the freeways like this instead
of everywhere else where you build them like this i know because it's obvious so the rain goes that
way and you don't slip and slide on the road it's getting really hard to live in la it's getting
really hard to want to stay in la and that's why i'm moving 30 minutes away to fucking La Cañada. Cool.
More bounce to the ounce.
More bounce to the ounce.
Nope.
What do you mean?
Why you even did that like Josh Groban?
No.
You even did more bounce to the ounce like Josh Groban.
Dude, I have my flavor that I do it, dude.
Yeah, it's the Groban flavor.
More bounce to the ounce.
More bounce.
Check it out.
To the ounce.
Dude, you don't appreciate my style of singing.
You're absolutely right.
And it's because we grew up together, dude.
No, it's because it sucks.
And you're just used to it.
Because it sucks.
Dude, so many people hit me up about just do singing videos no no one has just do singing videos no one's ever
done that dude quit your day job just do singing videos no well it will do that to me though for
real okay they put in requests so now you know what they want me to do pearl jam stuff they want
no no stone temple pilot stuff so look it rained like a shit storm i mean it's still going to be
raining a little bit but we're happy that it's kind of done raining shit storm i mean it's still going to be raining a little bit
but we're happy that it's kind of done raining i don't think it's done i don't think it's done
i think it might be done by the time this comes out is what i'm saying by the time this comes
out it'll yes it'll actually have just ended that's what i do because i'm smart that was smart
that was the first that was the first smart thing you've ever done i said i'm gonna be in brea

We have done that before in the past.
Oh, okay.
A long, long time ago, we used to go on vacation together.
Sad.
Boom, sabi, sabi.
And then what is it?
Bang me door.
Wow.
We say bang me door because the room service bangs on the door.

i mean he's pretty smart then he knows yeah he's really smart it's pretty crazy dude okay so we'll
see how he how he is they say i wonder if he's gonna get jealous and shit you know you did
but yeah you would bump me in the doors and my head would hit doorknobs and shit it was funny you didn't make it it wasn't a joke to you though you would knock me my body knock me
body and i would slam my head into the doorknob because that's how how tall i was yeah so i good
on me for realizing your height and no knowing that the doorknob would rickish your head no
company shoots the thing but i will tell you what i would do when
one thing that made me laugh so hard when you were running around and we'll get to the episode but
we're having a lot of good time bullshitting i would take the big pillows off the couch
wing them at your head oh just the right weight that you would hit and then try to catch her
and and you'd be walking like six steps and then fall down dude i would be crying i don't know man
you must remember you're talking about that but i don't remember doing it four okay three so that probably
added about two or three years of therapy to my life but that's cool uh all right cool well let's
get into the thing uh feeling good we're having a good time beautiful hair love the show quick
question for you so friends and family are always asking to hang out, always asking to do stuff constantly.
So popular.
I don't want to do that shit.
I got my own stuff I like to do.
Yeah.
Steve Buscemi.
I just need your opinion.
What's the best way to not seem like a dick when I'm telling them no?
Because right now, I'm a dick.
Yeah.
Steve Buscemi.
Wow, Steve Buscemi.
That's what I was saying. Just tell them you're on set making a movie because you're Steve Buscemi. Wow, Steve Buscemi. That's what I was saying.
Just tell him you're on set
making a movie
because you're Steve Buscemi.
Yeah, be like,
sorry, I'm busy being
young Steve Buscemi.
He for sure is,
that's a spin move mentality
for sure thing.
Nah.
Dude, I don't think
you're being a dick though.
You're not being a dick
because I'm like that too.
I don't know.
Be a person.
You're a dick.
Be a person. Be a person. You're a dick. You're a dick. Be a person.
Be a person that your family and friends, your loved ones know.
Yeah.
And by being a person that they know, be the kind of person that they don't even ask.
I remember when you guys would have game night and you guys texted, hey, you coming to game
night?
And the group chat.
And I was like, what the fuck?
I never asked you.
No, no, no.
Him.
And I was like, what the fuck? Well, you guys were already talking about it. I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, we have game night and the group chat and i was like i never asked you no no him and i was like what the fuck well you guys are already talking about it we have game
night i really for how long years i had no idea because my friends fucking know me and that made
me so happy that you didn't invite me to that bullshit fucking whatever you were playing
parchees here who cares the other thing is we didn't want you to come you did no so that was
our i don't know if that's true man um yeah no i just think you need to you need to get it out of
your head that you're being a dick yeah and and just because someone thinks you're a dick doesn't
mean that you are oh man preach people will call you a dick for a lot of reasons in fact one of
those reasons is you don't do what they want you to preach okay stop it but it but you know uh
just keep that in mind when people call you a dick.
Unless you're being a dick, this sounds really stupid, but it's true if you think about it.
Or it's insightful if you think about it.
You're not a dick if you're not being a dick.
You can be a dick and then everyone knows you're a dick, right?
Beat poetry, yeah.
But if someone doesn't get what they want from you and they think it'll be fun and you say i don't want to do it they're gonna call you a dick but
they're not right yeah let's put a bunch of marshmallows in our mouths i mean no one suggests
that you say no no dick yeah i want to i don't i don't i don't know but it's about boundaries dude
set your boundaries man be like you know what i don't want to hang out and it's all good.
Love you.
Don't pressure me, right?
Well, don't.
You could just say that all the first part.
You don't say, don't pressure me.
Of course not.
But if they do, then you'd be like, don't.
If they're like, come on.
Be like, nah, I don't want to.
You're making me feel bad.
I don't like that.
Oh, block.
Okay, well, you don't need to do anything.
Just say no.
Thanks.
Love you.
We'll hang out some other time.
Here's what I think, honestly.
If somebody says, come on, man, it'll be fun. You be fun you go you write one month and they say what's that you say that's the amount
that now we are not talking no then you're a huge dick then you and i think it would be fun
two months you want to add more are you telling him how to be a dick or no because here's the
thing you need to respond accordingly if someone's like oh but come on we're all going and fucking
this and that.
One month, congratulations.
Would you like to add more?
No, that's not good.
But I just think it would be fun.
Because that person's not trying to be a dick.
And Ron really wants you to come.
Two months.
Would you like to add more?
No.
No.
That's so bad.
I think that you just need to know you're not a dick.
Yeah, you're not a dick.
And then you're not a dick.
He does seem like he might be a dick, honestly.
At the end, I was like, he's maybe a dick. Yeah yeah yeah because steve buscemi is good at playing dickheads yep there
we go so it kind of influenced my thinking yep there we go you know that's much better okay got
it okay cool let's do it it's like the halo effect but just the buscemi effect the buscemi
the buscemi effect worst effect cool let's do another one
what's up chris what's up an amalgamation of every guy i know here's what's going on
i just moved in northern utah and i'm having a hard time dating here because a lot of the
girls up here are mormon and i am not mormon so i met a girl the other day at a party
thanksgiving party dry party you know nothing crazy going on but she was super cute super down
to earth super likable but she has this affiliation with the mormon church you know and
i have a hard time understanding if i should conform to that to be with this girl you know
i mean what so let me know what you guys think about that and conforming to another person's beliefs to date them.
Thanks.
It's, I mean, you know.
Absolutely not.
Yeah, what?
That is the wrongest foot.
He's like Val Kilmer in The Saint.
You need to start dating the person and then once you realize, oh, this could really work, then you consider that.
You don't consider that before date one.
Yeah, it's backwards. And if she wants you to consider that before date one yeah it's backwards and if
she wants you to consider that before day one then she's crazy hey you're cute want to be a mormon
yeah oh yeah it doesn't work like that and pass the turkey i don't know who put it in this guy's
head that well the mormon should think like the mormon or that it's okay to think like that the
mormons but that's okay stop but that's completely abnormal yeah to think that way
and to be he's saying it like it's totally normal yeah because they're brainwashing him and that's
the fucking thing over there he lives in provo or some shit and they're like well you know i mean
look you don't have to be but it's great look at how friendly we are look at the chicks they got
more bounce to the ounce would you like some turkey by the way want to be mormon put these
underpants on and come into our church didn't someone try to make you mormon once dude many times no like they showed you a video and everything right yes oh really
yes many times what do you what do you mean many times i let them have at it
how many times have you been courted by the mormons so many times i'm not even bullshitting
man i've dated oh yeah i guess you have i've dated many mormons yeah and they all try to
convert me dude and i've i've been friends with many mormons because i don't judge yeah right yeah obviously but i don't judge extra
and and so when i was friends with the mormons they'd be like why don't you watch this video
i watched the video it was the worst move of all time i'm like case friends not just intimate
partners what friends dude friends and i gave it a good college try i was like look all right
maybe it'll be good because i'm mr open-minded right so wait how many times have how have they put the press on press on you the full court press yeah
maybe twice the full court okay but the like a half court kind of yeah yeah yeah zone defense
12 what yeah yep all same person different times no different people some different some different
times yep the one time i got into deep trouble with a mormon kid that i was friends with
uh it was in high school and i told him that he he looked mormon and he got really mad he is mormon
yeah cool and he got really mad and i in retrospect i realized understandably he got
mad because i was like profiling him and his people but well at the time blonde and fair skin
yes at the time he was like what do you mean i look more and i was like welliling him and his people. But at the time- Well, let me guess, was he blonde and fair-skinned? Yes.
Okay, there we go.
At the time, he was like, what do you mean I look Mormon?
I was like, well, I don't know.
Was his name Brigham?
You look Mormon.
No, his name was-
Okay, well, don't-
You look Mormon.
And he said, he kept getting more and more mad.
He's like, what is that supposed to mean?
What is that supposed to mean?
I was like, what do Mormons look like?
And I was like-
You? Yeah, dude. Look at the- at the hey dude go in the bathroom and look above
the sink yeah yeah uh i realized my the error in my ways in retrospect but at the time i was like
they look like you because every mormon i've met looks like you profiling is profiling because
profiling is a thing and sometimes you can just kind of yeah i mean the blonde guy. Yeah, I mean, it's like a cliche.
Sometimes a cliche.
Yeah, I'm in Provo and they look at all these blonde hair guys.
Well, we're obviously not in the fucking village of the damned.
These are Mormons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's okay, but profile away sometimes.
Profile me.
I don't give a fuck.
Right?
Yeah, but the argument would be that that's your privilege speaking.
Oh, right.
The argument would be that.
Yeah. The argument from cucks. Okay, right. The argument would be that. Yeah.
The argument from Cucks.
Okay.
Well, going downhill fast.
Yeah, but it's fine, dude.
So what I'm saying is-
Doesn't even know what he's saying.
Don't change your fucking religion because you saw someone.
Yeah, yeah.
At a party, dude dude yeah felt good with
the fucking you know what i mean like oh this is all right you know you know he in his head he's
like like having doing those he's a mouse oh wow and then someone came so high pitch the reasoning
what's up oh hey what's up oh hey we're hitting it off they're probably not even hitting it off
he just thinks he is she's probably like well i would never hang out with the civilian he's not
do you think she actually said yeah i think he's making it all up. No, he's making it all up.
Yeah, she didn't do that.
He's got the face of a guy
making it all up.
Yeah, he does.
He's got a face
that looks like every guy
and everyone's ever met
all put together.
My point is
just meet her,
maybe hang out with her,
have a coffee with her.
You can't, right?
Because they don't drink caffeine.
But go to have berries
with her somewhere
and then, you know,
feel it out.
If you like it
and be like,
hey, let's hang out again.
And she's like, I don't know because, and then be like, look, I'm kind of open-minded.
You know, maybe you have that video that Chris Lea saw.
You know, I guess it wouldn't be a VHS anymore.
It was a long time ago.
What was it?
Was it the same thing?
It was something called like God's Army.
It wasn't that, but something like that.
Was it the same one that they showed you?
Like there was a recruitment video?
No, it was a movie that was supposed to be.
It was like something that, you know, it was like something,
like one of the first tapes that they would have burned if there was a revolution
because like, oh, we can't have propaganda.
Wow.
Okay.
But it was the same one.
What does that mean?
I'll tell you what it means.
Okay.
Even though it's utterly obvious what it means.
The same one as what?
It happened 12 times to you, you said.
Oh, the full court press is different thing.
They didn't always use the VHS.
The two full court presses, same video?
No, they showed me one time, they showed me a video. And then they showed you a cliffhanger? They sat me down and talked to me. Oh, with full-court press is different thing. They didn't always use the VHS. The two full-court presses, same video? No, they showed me one time, they showed me a video.
And they showed you a cliffhanger?
They sat me down and talked to me.
Oh, in a church.
In a video.

No video.
No video.
They just did like a play version of it.
Wow, dude.

You can go in the church.
You can't go in like the temples.
Where the party's at?
You can go in the church.
You can't go in the temples. What's the difference? temples where the party's at you can go in the church you can't go in the temples what's the difference the temples are like where
you get married and they're very sacred the church is like where you can go and people can get
recruited and i didn't know there was a difference yep god mormons huh well no all of the religions
what does that mean they're just insane dude yeah but some are more insane than well some are more
insane than others yeah okay but like you know you gotta if you're gonna say mormonism you gotta throw catholicism in there yeah i mean

coming for that ass for them we're coming no it's every religious person and i'll go further anybody
who's too into anything
i come for that it's actually not even the people who are religious it's the religions
themselves 100 how they make people think mormons are the shit okay it's such a 180 no mormons are
the shit they are the shit dude yeah i mean you've known at least 14 oh bro i've known are you kidding
me but i'm saying based on the ones that have tried to convert you You've known at least 14
Mormons are the coolest dude
Some of them won't let you swear
But that sucks obviously because I'm going to do me regardless

My ex-girlfriend of four and a half years is in the same friend circle as me.
And I'm seeing this girl.
I've been seeing her for almost a year now.
And every time we hang out with my friends, my ex is there.
It's gotten to the point where we're going out for dinners.
New Year's eve party just gone
she was there um we're going camping and things like that um i don't really mind it i said to
my partner that it's you know um it's so chill here nor there whether she's around or not it
doesn't yeah of course it doesn't bother you seatbelt sonny's not even we know he's in or there, whether she's around or not, it doesn't mean anything to me. Yeah, of course it doesn't bother you.
Seatbelt's on.
We know.
Seatbelt's on.
He's not moving.
My partner doesn't like it, but she's kind of just, you know, she's expressed her feelings
and she's kind of playing it cool.
Okay.
There's been no awkwardness or anything, but I'm just not really sure how to navigate it.
I don't want to push my mates aside because then, you because then they're pretty much the only mates I've got.
I was helping.
So yeah, I'm not really sure what to do.
Choking himself.
If you could help us out, that'd be awesome.

Yeah, dude.
Why don't you take this one, man? Who cares? Yeah two percent who cares who cares no one cares your girl's not mad
you're not mad yeah obviously your ex isn't mad such a non thing she's look if she's creating
problems and like picking fights with your girlfriend she doesn't you cut me off and i
didn't like that and i didn't like that but you didn't use it. But there's no, I didn't hear a problem.
So therefore there is no problem because if there was a problem,
I would have heard it.
Yeah.

He specifically said it wasn't a problem.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah.
I need some advice.

Dudes would.
But they wouldn't have a catty problem.
Dudes would be like, what's up?

No.
Oh, dude. Dudes would have a problem. And then it would just be a different kind of problem yeah exactly but it wouldn't stop they wouldn't put a quash on it but you
understand that you can't bring the dude around anymore and the dude's being a bitch about it
the chick is like oh hi oh nice purse oh oh you can get oh yeah no i've seen plenty of people

Quick friendship advice.
Me and my family recently in a fire, house fire.
Oh, God.
We very nearly died.
Jesus. me and my family recently in a fire house fire we very nearly died it's been obviously physically and emotionally
draining
and damaging
none of my friends
have messaged
have rang
none of them give a shit
not one of them have reached out and said
hope yous are alright
so what should I do should i speak to i should
i confront them should i tell them you're shit friends yes or should i just leave walk away
never speak to them again no no it's clear they don't give a shit about me or my family
uh so just your advice please but thanks again for everything you do in the show
make me laugh when i feel like i can't laugh keep doing what you're doing thanks buddy appreciate you oh yeah dude thank god you made
it out dude here's the thing when somebody goes through something bad and you're sitting there
thinking should i text them or should i not i don't want to bother them text them you fuck
yep just you're not gonna bother them them. What even is that, dude?
Yeah, a guy fucking, a house caught on fire.
The guy almost burned alive with his family inside their home.
Text him.
And just be like, hey, I heard you almost burned alive with your family inside your family home.
Yeah, heard about the house.
Everything cool?
Heard about the house and the family.
Sup?
But I think it's a cop-out to even be like i
don't want to bother them i don't even think that's the real deal are let me just tell you
man people are really fucking shitty but like they they i know a guy through a guy that was
dying of cancer and everyone just kind of stopped talking to him because they were like i don't know
how to deal with yeah yeah but i don't think that that's shitty though i think that that's like a
glitch in the system because they're not,
these people do care.
His friends do care about him. Yeah.
Right.
But he's sitting there thinking they don't.
That's why it's shitty,
but they're not being shitty.
I don't think.
I mean.
Their nature is not shitty.
They're just,
they're like uncomfortable with grief or pain
or anything like that.
Yeah.
They're not thinking like,
I'm not going to write him
because I don't want him to feel good.
But they are thinking, maybe I should say something.
I don't want to make it worse.
I don't want to make him think about it.
Yes, maybe, yes.
Which is just not right.
That's stupid.
Just don't make it complicated.
Text them.
Hey, thinking of you, period.
Yeah.
Send.
The end.
And if they don't text you, you text them, hey, I was in a fire, dot, dot, dot, question mark, LOL.
Dude, I think that you honestly need to send them this video.
And don't even send them your part.
Send them our part.
Just clip out our part, send our part, and then they'll be like, oh, I know who's talking.
Okay.
You could also call them out.
Well, yeah.
I mean, if you want to keep that friendship, be like, yo, bro, I was in a fire.
What the fuck?
Yeah, but don't assume they don't give a shit about you that's wrong there you go dude and that's
why matt does the one-on-one sessions and i don't that's that's not even right but they do they're
just awkward stupid fucking humans yeah they're over complicating things for no reason and that's
why you do you but then again also i'll be in portland right and i'll be in seattle but you do
you very different things i know i know you do you and you give good advices.
But also for me, dude, I will be in New York
February 18th. Okay, plugging yourself so hard.

I appreciate you.
On New Year's, me and my fiance had a get-together with both of our families.
It was a nice time.
Me and the father started bickering.
Uh-oh.
He told me to stop using profanity.
Uh-oh.
Don't worry about it.
Here we go.
It's my house.
Here we go.
Then he hit me when I wasn't looking.
Scuffled for a little bit.
It got broken up.
There's a lot of people. And then I hear
he's bleeding. He's bleeding.
So I rushed to the front and my
fiance's father stabbed my best friend in the
throat. Rushed to the
hospital. Died twice. Thank God
he made it. He's hurt, but he
made it. My question is do you ever
see us being able to have a normal relationship again after this that's her father i'm her fiance
the father of a child she has nothing no consequences whatsoever for her obviously
she had nothing to do with it but just a normality i don't know if things can go but i don't know if
i could ever be in the same room as this guy again to kill your friend i don't bail because
the wedding i don't i don't
know just because you tried to let me know this thing thanks so much okay so here's the thing you
can never and should never ever no associate with that man again and your fiancee should also do
that but if she doesn't because it's her dad she does need to understand that you will never do
that yeah so here's here's the question oh there's the evidence just to break it down what the fuck
that's unbelievable dude looks like halloween this is fucking unbelievable this picture thanks
for taking the picture by the way this is to be clear this is the question that you asked
i'm gonna just break it down okay to the question you asked. Okay. Hey, someone stabbed my best friend in my house.

The answer is no.
It was his house?
Yeah, it was his house.

Well, the friend was probably like, hey, motherfucker.

mid-30s right yeah yeah so the dad's like just some 70 year old guy stabbing people in other
people's house absolutely insane that guy the dad i hate to say it needs to be locked up yeah lock him up yeah oh oh oh bro bro look at
the scar he stabbed him in the neck he's just that's straight up attempted murder play it
you're not gonna play it
i mean you're taught you're literally talking about attempted murder you are actually just
full stop you you are discussing attempted murder like that is an attempted murder
wow this podcast is fucking good today wow wow i mean the guy fucking stabbed the guy looks like
fucking why so serious he's never gonna look fucking the same ever again i mean that'll go
down a lot it'll go down a lot he will never look the same but this kind of thing makes he's gonna be
fine okay but you're doing a thing that i don't like which is making it i'm minimizing oranges
no you're not just minimizing he's gonna wet it i'm at a different thing he'll wet it up for sure
but no one wants to look no one wants to look totally different for the rest of their life
when it wasn't up to them i was what's up what's your name oh this yeah i got stabbed at
my friend's house died twice by his fiance's dad they opened up a pizza parlor together
yeah that's absolutely insane dude that is insane so update us by the way on going on with dad also
hey dad send in a video hey dad turn yourself in yeah because you committed
a crime well i mean no yeah so much evidence i mean just you don't need to turn yourself in
you don't need to do you don't need to interview anybody all you need is cops watch this episode
he's on bail he said the dad is on bail that is in jail for what he did and he's out on bail. The dad is in jail for what he did, and he's out on bail. Yes.
Okay.
Well, good.
Assault with a deadly weapon, something like that.
Wow, dude.
I mean...
All right.
But honestly, though, hey, guy, just to wrap this up,
that you're even thinking about it is...
I don't know what's going on in your mind.
You can't associate with this fucking guy anymore.
Yeah, I'm not clear if he was talking about how should i deal with the father yes because just
don't yeah he was okay i thought maybe there was how should i deal with the relationship he was
saying that's fine that's when he was like doing this shit he was like that's not even a thing she
had nothing to do with it and okay oh yeah yeah but that he's right about that she's
obviously you cannot and should not ever thank god the guy's still alive put any blame i mean
wow but also you're 70 get over the desire to stab people when you disagree with them
well dude if you're fucking 25 it makes more sense than if you're 70. Right, right, right. Stabbing your fucking daughter's friends in the neck.
God, dude.
All right.
Wow.
Next one.
So cute.
My name is Nisa.
I've been listening to you guys for forever.
Aw.
I'm a little in love with both of you, but it's probably fine.
Aw.
I'm here with Ollie, my son.
Hey, Ollie.
He's 11 years old.
He loves Roblox and soccer, and he rocks this sweet hairstyle.
Look at that hair on Ollie.
Our question is about the hair.
When we go out, oftentimes Ollie gets mistaken for a girl, and it doesn't really bother him.
He's actually kind of amused when people are embarrassed when they realize.
Well, he's a good-looking dude, so I get it.
We're hoping you guys can help us come up with like a quick, witty response.
Nothing hurtful, obviously, but just something kind of smart and funny to help people just know that he's a dude.
Yeah.
With some sweet long hair.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Well, before Chris comes up with the retort i it well i used to have really really long hair
like way way longer than it is now i lived in new york and i was a hypochondriac and i used to always
go to the health center in new york and the way that it was situated was my there were two places
to sit sometimes you'd have to sit in the area where your back was to where the nurse comes out
and calls your name and the nurse i kept hearing the door open and close open and close
and i was the only one in the waiting room and i was sitting with my back to her the nurse and i
kept hearing her come out and like maybe about to call my name and i was getting excited and
she didn't call my name finally one time i looked back and her face was like oh because she just assumed that i was a woman because of my long
hair and she was so embarrassed that i felt bad that she did it in the first place i wasn't
insulted because like all the i don't really i don't take it personal that someone thought I was a woman just because I had long hair from the back.
But on my experience, the person already feels so dumb for thinking that you're not what you really are, that you may not need just a little push is what I'm recommending.
You don't want to like body slam them because they probably already feel pretty stupid for getting it wrong in the first place. Especially for Ollie. He's young and like you don't want to like body slam them because they probably already feel pretty stupid for getting it wrong in the first place especially for ollie he's young and like you
don't want to yeah insult a kid yeah ever you know yeah unless it's an adult that thinks he's a girl
yeah but and then you feel even worse ostensibly no you go like this he says oh are you a girl
i'd be like nah but your mama is and i just hung out with her oh wow the whole time i thought you were being rude and
texting on your phone you were just getting ready to do that while you weren't even listening to my
story that's cool are you a girl nah but are you a girl nah but your mama is and i hung out with her
last night why are you putting your hair up yeah you're just doing this with a yeah yeah now i'm pissed at you
because you weren't even listening you're a girl nah i'm a dude why you you want me to be a girl
what are you gay i mean that is the dumbest don't don't don't do that one don't do that don't do
either one of those when you get a little older you can yeah don't do any sex jokes do one that's
not a sex joke okay um you girl oh yeah yeah like because he's okay so your girl uh
hey what's up girl um hey you might want to fix your eyesight yeah nice
yeah um okay why because i got long hair why because i got long long hair what is this 1942
yeah that's good yeah
yeah okay okay okay showing you yeah okay you got another one i don't know go ahead

podcast you guys indeed rip hell yeah so i'm calling to you know ask you guys right now my
wife and i were having our first kid we're 37 years old
and we're about 27 weeks into this pregnancy which is so way than we you're getting there ever have
been at this point so are we and amazing you know due to you know us having a lot of pregnancy losses
you know i'm finding i'm having a hard time trying to enjoy this process of it.
And my wife, you know, is, you know, trying to find that joy in it also.
And, you know, I'm just sort of, you know, in the back of my mind, always thinking that, you know, what if, you know, things are good now, but what if they aren't later?
And, you know, I was just wondering if you guys had any advice on how to sort of open up my heart to enjoying this,
letting the walls down and everything.
Anyway, have a good one, guys. Bye.
Let me say something before you go,
because you can speak to it a bit more than I can.
But all I think is that, first of all,
at 27 weeks, you're pretty close to viability,
so you're getting really close, so congratulations on that. 8 if something happened you were and you and the baby was born now it's like eight or nine out
of ten chance that it would survive there you go so that's one but two i would say don't what you're
describing and the difficulty you're having enjoying the process is so beyond understandable
that i don't think you should judge yourself for not be not like being able to enjoy
this part of the experience just be the way that you are feel the feelings that you're feeling
and then when the baby is born then you will just be over the moon you will be enjoying it you won't
have to worry about uh what's going to happen this what's going to happen that it'll be a whole
series of other worries but in terms of your specific trauma you're not going to happen this, what's going to happen that. It'll be a whole series of other worries. But in terms of your specific trauma,
you're not going to have to worry about that anymore.
So the end is near.
The light is at the end of the tunnel.
Don't be hard on yourself.
Feel whatever you're feeling.
It's fraught.
It's scary.
It's exciting.
It's a lot of different things.
But don't be hard on yourself for not being able to, quote,
enjoy it right now.
It's totally understandable that you are having a hard time doing that yeah i feel for you dude i hear that you're scared and i think that it's
okay i think that you should be i think that you know you're working with a little bit of ptsd
because for sure happened and that's totally normal um i i am i am i'm scared also and i i
we've never really had that kind of an issue.
But it's a tough thing anyway.
I think that just being open and honest with yourself, dude, because this is something that I struggle with.
Sometimes I don't even know what I'm feeling.
I just think I'm angry.
And the fact that you're like, you know what?
This has happened before.
I have fear. And that's okay. Live through it, you know what? This has happened before. I have fear.
And that's okay.
Live through it, dude.
Talk about it with your wife.
And she'll understand.
You guys will both have that connection together.
And then you'll be able to work through it.
The good news is you're at week 27.
And like I said, you've got an 8 or 9 in 10 chance that the baby will survive if there is preterm labor and like a one in eight
chance that the baby will have a serious issue so those odds are pretty good each week that moves on
i mean those are amazing odds if that's yeah and also i'm very knowledgeable about this stuff right
i doubt it but you don't sound like you're that far off to be honest so uh but i actually do know
that that's the truth so so yeah dude everything you're feeling is natural everything you're
feeling is natural anyway besides the fact that everything that happened to you, the PTSD of it.
You're going to be okay.
It took those things to get here.
And you're scared, bro.
And also I am too.
I'm 27.
We're 27 weeks in as well.
And I have fear about it too.
I'm scared of everything anyway.
Okay?
So now I'm going to be.
No, not a pussy.
I mean, you know what I mean? No, you just said. You just admitted it. It's not that I'm a pussy. You said you're scared of everything anyway okay so now i'm gonna be no not i mean you know what i mean
no you just said you just admitted it i know it's not that i'm a pussy you said you're scared of
everything i'm fuzzy but it's just it's life is scary life is real and that's okay here's the
other thing dude you can be fearful but don't be don't beat yourself up for being fearful because
i do that and that's making it doubly worse and doubly hard.
That's what I'm saying.
Let yourself be the thing that you are without adding any kind of judgment to it because that's only going to make it even worse.
Yes.
What you're feeling is perfectly understandable.
Don't beat yourself up about the fact that you can't enjoy it.
Plus, from what I understand, tell me if I'm wrong, but pregnancy is fraught and is scary.
Don't put pressure on yourself to feel joy about a time period that is often just kind of scary.
It is not.
You know, some women love being pregnant.
Some women just literally cannot wait to get that baby out of them.
And so, you know, if she's uncomfortable and you're going through the thing, just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
And, you know, Matt said the end is near.
I wouldn't say that because that's not the good way to put it.
Because you say the end is near. People think about other things, right? But I would say the light is at the end of the tunnel and you know matt said the end is near i wouldn't say that because that's not the good way to put it because you say the end is near people think about other
things right but i would say the light is at the end of the tunnel and when that is what i said
and name them zap dude um zap the group that does that song yeah i think it's a guy right
good zap is a zap and roger oh so zap is a guy. Yeah, Zap and Roger, yeah.
Roger, you know?
Really, Roger would.
Staying with Roger even though the other guy was Zap?
Zap and then also just some guy named Roger that I met.
Boodly waddle loop.
Roger's the guy who does that.
Zap and Todd.
Zap and Frank.
Yeah, so I feel for you, bro.
And my heart goes out to you. But this is also realize that there is positivity mixed in with this negativity, dude.
You have, this is what, this is, you're winning, dude.
You're winning life.
Charlie Sheen.
You have a beautiful.
Winning.
You have a beautiful, beautiful, this is a moment.
And you're not going to get this moment again.
I mean, you have another kid, but not this one.
It's a different, it'll be a different kid.
But you have this moment to live, and this is a beautiful thing to live through.
And so soak it up, man, because these moments tick by, and before you know it, they're gone.
