Who do you think it is?
I don't like looking at myself.
Are we going?
I don't like looking at myself.
What do you like doing?
That's not something I like.
I would be on the bottom rung of that.
That's not what I like.
Then how come when you're watching yourself, you don't close your eyes?
I like watching myself.
What's the difference?
Your hair looks good.
Why? Why does Your hair looks good. Why?
Why does your hair look good?
Well, what do you want to talk about?
Watching myself?
I don't like watching myself.
I like listening to myself.
And if it's a video, I will watch it.
Because I want to understand the bits that I do.
And I want to understand them even better than I've already done them.
And my hair grew in.
How much do you like looking at me
i like looking at you thank you uh yeah your hair looks good hair looks better possibly better than
it's looked in years right now well okay so it looks like it's just kind of you're hanging out
and it's like it's good it's good length it's good like it doesn't look like you just washed
it but it doesn't look dirty it's a 10 yeah it's like a nine and a half all right well so if it's one
of the best i've looked it's looked in years and it's obviously got to be a 10 okay right but
here's the thing okay for your hair it's a 10 okay so then then hair wise i could only get a 9.5 in
the world of the people with the greatest hair yeah Yeah. Okay. That's fine. That's not even an insult saying you have the worst hair.
You know what I mean?
I know.
Or best hair.

dude um i am 40 so i was working out yesterday and i was thinking about this because i took denny
love very fantastic comedian we were at uh my gym always in a terrific mood dude he's just the best
man um and he was like i want to work out legs because i work this
was in la yeah this was yesterday yeah in la he's like i want to work out legs well no i he didn't
say that he showed up because you go on tour with him i know no i know yeah he goes on yeah um no
no we traveled to another city to work out but um no he goes on tour with me but anyway uh he he
was like i'm here i i put a guest
you know he doesn't go to my gym so i give him a guest pass came up and he's like what you working
on today i said legs he said i knew you're gonna say that because you didn't want to yeah nobody
wants to work out legs nobody does i actually do but you like it i do yeah i've grown to like it
okay because it's so hard. Oh, okay. Right?
It's like kind of going to meetings for addiction.
It's like once you start doing it, like just now, I've done eight meetings in eight days.
So every day I'm doing a meeting.
And just now I'm like, I woke up and I'm like, I got to get to my meeting.
Do you know what I'm saying?
But when you start doing it, you're like, ugh. But what about, is it during and after?
Do you feel increasingly good about it?
Or are you just...
In leg day or meeting day?
If it's similar.
Meeting is, well, it's a totally different thing.
I mean, it's just completely different.
But the meeting, I guess the meeting is really what I'm asking about.
Because I don't care about leg day, obviously.
Much more interesting.
Well, meetings are cool because you share your feelings and you hear other people's, what they're going through and you identify with some of it.
You know what I mean?
Some of the meetings are, you identify with them less.
They're going through different things completely.
But leg day is always just hardcore.
So anyway, i digress but i was doing so we start doing it and um i was working out and i was thinking i i you know
because he works out but he doesn't he works out yeah no he does he's got he's fit but he doesn't
work out legs hardcore he does work out legs but not feel like a lot of people don't they don't yeah it's just you know you do it half you want to look good they don't want to like yeah
totally model their legs you know so uh we did it i went hard and he's obviously he texted me today
i'm in pain but uh i was thinking about i wonder what the heck it would be like with you me yeah
oh i did not not just working out going but doing actual leg day with you
it'd be fucking miserable for everybody involved i would be miserable and ostensibly you would be
too because i'm like absolutely murdering the vibe i'd be doing my thing oh then it would be
fine for you too i'll be doing my thing yeah, I'd be doing my thing. Yeah, yeah, I would be doing my thing. Yeah, no, it sounds just, you know,
unfortunately like a complete utter nightmare to me.
Okay, so if I was like, all right, your turn.
Come on, let's go.
You would be like, no.
You would look up and I would be gone.
I mean, like I just, and I don't want to get,
I don't want it to get confused by anybody.
Like, I don't think people who do that.
Yeah, no, I know that.
It's just me.
Like, that's not for me. Yeah, no, I know that. It's just me. That's not for me, yeah.
Wow, dude.
Wow.
How much do you sleep?
I guess...
Lately, more, I guess.
So maybe six and a half, seven hours.
Oh, you're getting more?
Yeah, lately I get more.
Okay, because you used to get what?
Like five?
Gonna die.
Bing, early.
Yeah, it's not good.
Yeah, you gotta move around and you gotta sleep more.
I mean, I'd definitely move around.
No, no, no.
I know.
You move around a lot.
You pace a lot.
Work out.
Yeah.
I know.
I wonder, though.
I wonder how...
I wish we knew how much working out and eating right and sleeping right affected the longevity
of our...
Like, I wish there was an app where you could see, like, you're doing well.
At this point, if you do do this you'll live to 92 but what about when you get hit by a bus or just
well that's always the but what if you're coded for genetically to get cancer when you're like
65 like these things don't but but but like the way you work out people are gonna be so in
disagreement with me about this but like sometimes you just are gonna get the thing you're
gonna get yes that is true but but my point is if if like what if there were like i'm saying
what if that would be amazing yeah what if you could add that you could add the blood test to
it and then your app says you know you're supposed to get this at well dude eventually
one would have to imagine that something like that will be in existence
and available
to every single individual.
And that's what I wanted
to come in.
If you would just pay
a small fee,
I can help with that,
I think, probably.
This is like Theranos.
What do you mean?
Oh, I was thinking
about Theranos too, yeah.
I'm saying if you just
give me a small...
You're Elizabeth Holmes?
Yeah.
For this app?
$20,000.
I think I could
probably make it happen.
Anything about any of this.
But did she though?
I know more than you.
What do you mean?
I know more about how this stuff works than you do.
And I'm not interested in having the app.
More about how what stuff works?
Body and stuff?
What would go into an app like that?
What are you talking about?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I thought you meant health and fitness.
I was about to be like, um.
Wow.
Yeah.
I was about to be like, check please.
And we're not even at a restaurant, so.
How annoying is this?
Um, sure, dude.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely annoying unless you're Ace Ventura.
Yeah, well, then it's good.
Yeah, then it's good.
So anyway, that's what I was thinking about.
And maybe that's boring, but honestly, I don't give a fuck, dude.
I do what I do.
It's not that boring.
Okay.
But I want everyone to understand what Chris did.
He went to the gym with Denny love his friend yeah and while they were doing leg day he chris thought i wonder
what it would be like to do leg day with matt right that's fucking weird but it's not boring
so i don't it's not boring i don't i think that's strangely wow strange I think that's strangely odd. Wow, I'm shocked.
That's strange and odd.
Let me tell you.
Okay, so if the story was I went to do leg day with Denny Love,
and I wondered what it was like to do leg day with, in the middle,
I wonder what it was like to our friend Rob.
Would that be interesting?
No.
So you only said it because it's you, right?
Well, I'm saying to the audience it might be interesting because we're the hosts of the show.
They watch the show.
They care about us.
He got out of that one.
He got out of that one.
He got out, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He wasn't in anything.
You were involved.
You were involved.
You were in the storm.
I was in hot water.
Yeah.
Okay.
Dude, the other day, Calvin was at the Grove with our nanny.
And he asked our nanny, he said,
are we close to home?
And she said, well, not too far,
about 10 minutes away from home.
And he said, stupid.
And then he said,
I can say stupid now
because I'm not allowed to say it at home
because mommy doesn't like
when I say stupid.
Ooh.
Got it out of a system
at the Grove.
Working it out.
Got out of that one
from at home.
How funny is that, dude?
That's pretty good.
I got to start doing
that kind of stuff more often.
When you're not at home,
say words that Kristen's...
Yeah, like saying like...
I don't really say words, though.
Like I've never...
Yeah, I don't ever call...
There's no like word that you say that Kristen is like, don't say say words though that like i've never yeah i don't ever call there's no
like word that you say like kristen is like don't say that word because some some some guys would
get mad at their woman and be like b-i-t-c-h i don't do that i've never done that actually
or c-u-n you know how it ends but i don't see i've never done that never called her a name in my life
yeah i don't yeah except for one time i called dude frank drebin that's a good thing to call
someone that's not calling someone you know who frank drebin is of course i know who frank drebin
is leslie nielsen's character in uh naked gun yep almost called the top gun uh hey what if
leslie nielsen was in top gun it'll be better we all know it what did you guys watch the killer

Want to go into it?
Can somebody get me a bottle of water?
Hi, Matt and Chris, everybody at Lifeline.
You guys are awesome.
I need some advice.
So I played volleyball in college, and now I coach club volleyball and give private lessons.
Great.
And most of these kids are like middle and high school.
And at private lessons, sometimes the parents will sit on the court and like
actively give feedback as i'm giving feedback private lessons the thing is that they're usually
wrong and they're kind of mean to their kids like they're a little bit harsh and it gets in the kids
heads and i can just see them start to spiral so how do i tell these parents like stop and you're
wrong and you're making it worse for these kids but also you're entitled to be here on the court you're paying for the lesson with your kid it's a free conch um yeah i'm just not
really sure what to do thanks that is tricky i will say that that is tricky because you
under normal circumstances you could just say the flat truth because it doesn't matter but this is
like your actual employment you don't want to lose clients by delivering news to them that they're obviously not going to take well.
But at the same time, I agree with you that they're sort of – it's suboptimal to say the very least that they're there doing that.
Like messing up and going against probably the things you're saying or at least pulling them in a direction that is suboptimal robot um did she say volleyball yeah she did what is a private lesson for volleyball
is a team sport i didn't want to go down that okay all right um keep going i don't know but i
guess i get it like there's private lessons in baseball i know but the baseball is a very singular
thing you a lot of times you're batting.
Well, I would imagine they're doing things like she's setting someone up.
Yeah, but then it's like, how do you spike and how do you set up?
It's like technique.
What's weird is that a parent who doesn't play volleyball would think that they know anything about.
That's actually, that's so crazy.
Well, maybe it's like, i remember when i used to play baseball
like there would be dads who thought because they played younger that they knew better than coaches
and it's like sure that's possible right but it is just very unlikely that you know more
in this case especially than the private coach that you've hired for your child but parents
parents get weird they act like entitled i'm gonna be like that well've hired for your child. But parents, dude, parents get weird.
They act like entitled.
I'm going to be like that.
Well, I pay for it.
So I deserve to be here.
And it's my kid.
So I can say it's like, yeah, that's true.
But if you want your kid to be better at the thing,
then you got to let me do my thing.
From the thing, you should be like,
oh, you don't want your kid to be better?
You're throwing money away.
Just say that.
Oh, good, dude.
Yeah. Oh, good. I can't get this out of my throat you're done yeah you're done being disgusting so i'm trying not to dude but um
yeah you know what also you could do is set is set that out from the jump like make it in the email
or whatever like by the way um you know sometimes parents get involved and they don't know what they're talking about.
I mean, you know, obviously make the language nice.
But this is a one-on-one thing for a reason.
So let me do the teaching.
You know what I'm saying?
And if not, I have a particular set of skills.
I'll find you and I will kill you.
Yeah, that's a good one.
And then a picture and a gif of Liam Neeson.
You know what's weird?
It is gif. liam neeson you know what's weird it is gif what do
people say everyone says gif and anyone who says anyone who says gif gets corrected and it's hard
how do you know what it is it's like swimming so hard upstream because i saw i don't remember if
it was an interview with or an article mr guy who yeah the guy who coined oh really yeah fred gif
yeah tommy gif yeah but but here's the thing i'm probably gonna agree with what you're gonna Oh, really? Yeah. Fred Giff? Yeah. Tommy Giff, yeah.
But here's the thing.
Uh-uh-uh!
I'm probably going to agree with what you're going to say.
Because it stands for graphics or graphical interchange format.
So it could be good.
It should be good.
So it should be GIF.
It should be GIF.
You're right.
I'm just saying the guy who made it up calls it a GIF.
It's traffic.
And that is just the fact.
It stands for giraffes in fucking heat, honestly.
That's... Oh, the H is silent.
Giffa.
Yeah, giraffes in fucking, no, fucking heat is one word.
So G-I-F-H.
Oh, oh, fucking heat.
Fucking heat.
Okay.
Scientific word.
Dude, imagine giraffes having sex and then, thank God animals don't do oral sex because
what if giraffes did oral sex?
Their body would be so far away from the actual person.
Person, you know?
Yeah.
Long ass neck.
The other giraffe just did a long ass neck.
Can't even reach with the...
Yeah, their body would be in like another zip code.
Yep.
It's like raining where their body is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, why are you so wet? Because I went, no, no, no, because I was in a different zip code. Yep. It's like raining where their body is and not where their head is. Oh, why are you so wet?
Because I went, no, no, no, because I was in a different zip code.
Why are you all wet, baby?
Yeah.
What do you think about the fact that some animals do give oral sex?
Oh, well, yeah.
And receive oral sex.
Right.
Humans and then also bats and sloths and also fish and wolves.
Sloths, dude, just like this.
And when they come, they go, oh.
It takes 10 and a half minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
Even the jizz is like.
Yeah, I didn't fully listen to what he said wow but i think what
he said was the right kind of advice you gotta just yeah in you gotta thread the needle but
you can't not say something i think the way it has to be framed like you can even say like the
stuff you're saying is great and i think that maybe you can if you can save it all up for after
the lesson we can maximize our time together right Right? Something like that. I guess.
I still think that you should do it before anyone does anything.
Oh, I see what you mean. You should do it in the
email beforehand or whatever it is.
Remember, this is a one...
Gus, you have the language nice, you know? You're nice.
Come if you want, but... Yeah.
It's a one-on-one lesson, and then also
if you do come, try not to...
Try to resist the urge to
say something, because I know my shit and you don't. Well, that's the urge to because you know to say something because i
know my shit and you don't well that's not like that but she's obviously a nice lady right yeah
that that's that's the move i think and then if they still do it you can always resend the email
then that's tricky though like what if they yeah exactly you could do you could forward it back to
the person and then just write whoops over parents would still do it dude for sure they will still do it but then you're in an even trickier spot because it's like i already yeah
but you can't you can't make people do something so if they're going to do it they're going to do
it period but but the best thing you can do is say hey look don't do that and do it before they do it
so they're not defensive yeah right yeah now are they listening to haunted house
footage or something what's going on i don't know do you guys hear that oh it's above it's above us
oh it sounds like it's in the speakers oh yeah people are moving stuff just yeah it's a haunted
house all right cool next one hi boys uh thanks for taking my submission okay i need advice so
my partner and i have been together for five years.
We have a little boy.
He's two years old.
We love him so fucking much.
Cute.
We decided to split recently.
We can't afford to live in separate homes, so we're living in separate rooms in the same house.
Wow.
Pause there.
Any advice?
Awesome. pause there any advice awesome second bit of that we have an incredible sexual
connection um that's like so incredibly hard to um put to rest so with all that going on
need advice need help with boundaries need what do you think we should do can't afford to live
on our own living in the same house raising our son in separate rooms strong sexual connection go thanks
i got a good piece of advice stay together you're together like what the what's the reason you're
splitting stay together because you are together yeah oh man what do i do okay so i'm with my i'm
with my ex we We live together.
We have sex so much.
We love our shirt.
We love each other.
We love our child.
We laugh so much.
We have a beautiful child, and we love raising him.
What do I do?
What the hell do I do?
You're doing it.
What the hell do I do?
What is it?
Maybe it's a situation.
Maybe somebody crossed a boundary, and then they can't get over it.
You have to imagine.
Whatever it is.
There's a good reason.
But based on what you said,
you're together
and what you should do is...
Try to work it out.
Try to work it out
because you already are together.
I mean, you're together.
Yeah.
You live together.
Ostensibly.
You are consistently having sexual relations
and you have a child that you both adore that you co-parent.
Like, you're together.
Yeah.
And it's also fine to sleep in different rooms.
That, yeah, some couples just do that, actually.
I know, I know.
I'm married.
Couples that are happy ones.
Totally, yeah.
So you can still do that.
And then also, like, how, if you're not together,
and you can't live in different
houses then honestly how is your dating life like you you can't invite people over it's too
you'd have to explain too much to the kid there's another reason why you're you're together together
so i would say in all honesty well first of all just because of all the things that are stacked against you,
don't be hard on yourself if you can't stay away from him or he can't stay away from you.
Of course you guys are going to end up having sex if the chemistry is amazing.
You guys either have been, still are, or whatever.
You're in love.
Yeah, they're probably in love.
Don't be like, oh, what's wrong with me?
I keep getting into his bed or I keep letting him into mine like that's clearly gonna happen be easier on yourself about it
and if you guys really want to separate i i really do think that you have to figure out a way yeah
to not live together yeah that's really what you both want yeah you have to do that right um otherwise that's a really uh yeah i don't know i guess
you know geez yeah to even say like we recently split is almost like well you didn't though you
didn't split because you're under the same roof having sex and co-parenting a child you both love
that is i mean are you like not having meals together you're not talking in you know you're
right you are i would imagine you are. You are.
I would imagine you are.
And in front of the child, you're obviously like, at least I would hope so, like getting
along in front of the child.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not throwing shit.
No, you're together.
Hey, you know what?
You're together.
You're together.
And here's the crazy part.
You're happy.
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
I keep wearing this uniform with a badge on it.
It's blue.
I have a hat that says police and I'm not a cop.
So what do I do?
I arrest people.
I put them in jail.
They let me.
And frankly, the cops let me put them in the real jail.
I hang out with a bunch of other real cops.
Yeah.
And I go to all the Christmas parties for the real cops.
People address me as officer.
I have a diploma from cop school that lets me officially police communities.
What do I do?
I'm not a cop.
Yeah.
That's the same question.
You're a cop.
Yeah, you're a cop.
You're a cop.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, cool.
Next one.
Hi.
Silly Dave.
I mean, so cute.
That's a good point.
What are you talking about?
Hi.
Hi.
I'm Natalie. This is Nick. Hi, Natalie and point. What are you talking about? Hi. I'm Natalie.
This is Nick.
Hi, Natalie and Nick.
My question is about his name.
He is almost three.
He was a complete surprise.
Oh.
He came on...
Surprise!
Surprise.
And you have to name your baby within, I think, like eight weeks or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Chili Bay.
After I named him, I realized that his name should be Clarence.
Ah.
I'll be.
After Kristen Slater in True Romance.
Oh, that's cool.
Is it completely and totally tacky to change my baby's name after he is almost sleep i don't know but he's a
clarence look at him that's hilarious right nick his name's nick why what why do you what's the
eight weeks thing uh legally you have to officially uh put forth the name of your legal name of your child
by eight weeks they give you eight weeks to name your child just start calling them clarence too
you don't have to officially change it to be like hey clarence oh mom did that shit that
my real name is jeff i mean you don't have to like make it such a thing to where it's like
but here's the thing you certainly can you know i i think you
should his name is nick you should keep it nick that's what you think yes that is what i think i
don't think that i think if you want your child to have a different name because it is has been
revealed to you now that you've lived with him for a long period of time or you know enough time
and that child strikes you as someone who should have a different name.
It means nothing.
But okay.
No, it does mean something, dude.
I mean, I don't mean to compare people to dogs,
but many people adopt dogs, keep the name that they've always had,
and they're just like, you're not that though.
You're something else.
Makes no difference.
I don't agree at all.
Anyway, I agree with my brother, though.
If you just want his name to be Clarence,
you don't need to legally go through the whole thing. But if you want to go for it dude but it's not necessary
you could just be calling him clarence introduce him as clarence and people will learn that he's
nick and be confused as fuck but who cares no dude clarence is a name just as much as nick is
if i started calling calvin you know terry he be like, why are you calling me that?
It's so weird.
It's going to affect the kid.
He didn't seem to mind too much.
Well, yeah.
Well, you know, they would say Clarence and he would go.
Yeah, I know.
But it's just like, it's been three years.
Yeah.
Three years. It took you too long to figure out your son's name. Well, it's been three years. Yeah. Three years.
It took you too long to figure out your son's name.
Well, maybe she's been wrestling with it for two years.
Yeah.
In which case, it's too late.
It's too long, though.
It's too long.
But here's my problem with this whole thing.
I like naming him Clarence.
I like the name Clarence.
After a Christian Slater character.
But Nick is a great name, too.
Nick is a good name.
I have nothing against the name Nick.
I'm just saying Clarence is obviously a less common name.
Yeah.
And it has meaning to her clearly.
And she thinks he's a Clarence and not a Nick.
I get that.
I can relate.
I would not do that, I don't think, ever.
But I don't think she's in any kind of wrong.
It's too old.
You're going to confuse him. I think you name him Christian Slater from True Romance.
What if you just named him
Nick Clarence?
Because it all rose together.
You know, your name
is actually short for Nick Clarence.
Or if he doesn't have a middle name,
you can just be like, your middle name is Clarence, so let's call you Clarence, too.
It's all the same thing. It's all the same thing, maybe. Just name is Clarence. Let's call you Clarence, too. It's all the same.
It's all the same thing.
Just call him Clarence.
If you're going to do something, just start calling him Clarence.
But don't change it legally.
That's just too much.
And what if he's like, oh, man, why didn't you name me Nick when he turns to be 15?
He's like, I like Nick better.
Well, when you're 18, you can change your name to anything.
So that kind of is.
It's kind of cool, though, to be be growing up to be like like as a 30
year old to be like hey clarence you'd be like you know that wasn't always my name like that's
pretty badass to have that story too see so then change it to clarence give your son something to
talk about whatever we're giving you a lot of different probably be boring if he's like most
people in the fucking world give him something to be less boring so dick itq, Senilist. We're going to die anyways.
Clarence seems very sweet.
Clarence. So good luck.
I always think of Eminem.
I think of Clarence Thomas III, so I don't know.
Yeah, me too. I'm smart. I think a lot of people will. Or Clarence Clemens.
Because I'm musical.
What's up, Matt?
What's up, Chris? I've been a viewer since the beginning, and I'm down to do trivia to prove that.
Nice.
But for real, I love you guys.
You guys have got me through a really hard time, and I can never repay you enough for that.
Wow.
I need some advice, though.
I mean, you give us a few thousand dollars.
I've got this girlfriend.
We've been dating for about four years.
She has a brother.
He's 27.
I'm 26.
I'm 6'2".
He's 5'9".
Nice.
But regardless, he's over-affectionate with my girlfriend.
And he's stopped.
And I don't know what to say or what to do.
Every time we meet up, he gives her like a big hug and a forehead kiss.
And he has a pet name for her.
He calls her Moo Moo.
He says, I missed you, Moo Moo.
And then he's like overprotective.
Oh, that's annoying.
He just whines about the weirdest things towards her.
When we leave, he gives another forehead kiss and a bye, Moo Moo.
But the other day we were on the boat, me, my girlfriend, her brother, and the dad.
And he ate a pussy.
We were all tuckered out at the end of the day.
Her brother was off doing something, so we just said bye to the dad, and we kept pushing.
her brother was off doing something so we just said bye to the dad and we kept pushing um maybe an hour or two later we get a call from the dad that says her brother's so pissed off
why that she didn't say bye to him oh no that he didn't get his precious bye moo moo forehead kiss
and that's really what threw me over the edge but here's the caveat He's such a sensitive guy and the dad is such a sensitive guy and the mom is such a sensitive lady.
So I can't make things too awkward because they'll never talk to me again.
Like if I can't properly just call him out and say, hey, big dogs around. No more forehead.
That's what he said. No more. We're all adults here. I can't really do that in a too aggressive way
I don't know what to say
Any advice would be appreciated
Again, love you guys
Life rips
I wonder what she thinks
That's the main thing
Talk to your girl
And ask her, or not ask her
Don't pussyfoot around it
Say Big Dog's around
Look, you're talking
look you're talking to big dog yeah big dogs here it's just you and big dog okay
look it's just you and big dogs so we can just you know we don't have to bullshit each other okay
big dog don't bullshit okay and do how do you in all honesty how do you feel with like the level of affection your brother displays
for you and the like the over protectiveness that he displays hey look look it's me it's just big
dog and mumu face to face big dog and mumu okay i'm your brother right now imagine i'm your brother
and then get down like this like real like low you know because he's five nine right like first
of all how does he get well she's probably shorter yeah um just be like this, like real like low, you know, because he's 5'9". Right, yeah. First of all, how does he get... Well, she's probably shorter.
Yeah.
Just be like, do you like the forehead kisses?
Are you Moo Moo or are you my girl?
Right?
Maybe she doesn't like it.
The pet name thing, I don't...
Who cares?
I was going to say, that's not a thing.
I mean, siblings call each other shit like that all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
I call Matt Weakling.
I call him Boo Boo Bang Bang Bing Bing.
Weakling and Boo Boo Bang Bang Bing Bing. But, no. He's a bully, you know, We, yeah. I call him Weakling. I call him Booba Bang Bang Bing Bing. Weakling and Booba Bang Bang Bing Bing.
He's a bully, you know, Weakling.
He's so dumb.
And an alien.
Bing Bing Booba Bing Bing.
But I don't...
You know, the forehead kiss,
that's kind of odd that it's always a forehead kiss to me.
Agree.
It's one thing if you're just, I don't care about that. But like, that's kind of odd that it's always a forehead kiss to me agree it's one thing if you don't i don't care about that but like that's a weird it almost that makes it feel like it's a weird
ownership thing yeah something or it's definitely some sort of insecurity thing i don't know
but um the overly sensitive thing is is terrible i mean you're just being a big just being a person
big dog and if you were to just say yo it makes me uncomfortable with the way
they're treated and then it was fine but what do you mean he's pissed off that she didn't say bye
sometimes you just don't say bye to somebody ever heard of irish people and like you know like it's
okay you know not you don't really get over it but like we're all adults big dogs around and it's fine
yeah uh i think that for them to say i don't want to make a big deal about because they're
never going to talk to me again is that's crazy the people in her family are clearly way too
sensitive yeah okay now obviously you want to accommodate for that as much as you can because they're your girlfriend's family.
You care about her.
You love your girl.
But at a certain point, you cannot continue to accommodate someone like that or a group of people like that.
Right.
You can't.
You can't.
You're a big dog, dude.
You can't constantly be shackled if you're a big dog.
You can't.
Big dogs do not.
You can't be shackled too much, right? Yeah, exactly. You can. You got to break free of those chains eventually because you're a big dog. You can't. Big dogs do not. You can't be shackled too much, right? Yeah, exactly.
You gotta break free of those chains
eventually because you're a big dog. Yep.
If you're a big dog, you gotta be the big dog
unfortunately. It's your nature.
So, I mean
it sounds like
you can at least take a few steps
first to avoid a potential
confrontation. First and
obvious, and I'm stunned if you
haven't done this already big dog you you have to talk to her your girl about it frankly tell
her your feelings and ask her about her own if she she might even say something that might even
put your mind at ease and it's like actually it's like this and you think about it like a different
way it might even make you feel differently about it yeah talk to her about it she'll understand if you're she already knows you for four years she's
not going to be like whoa where's this coming from you're never like this she already knows
you're a big dog right you know yeah definitely talk to her about if you haven't done it yet
yeah that's step one but even if you have talked to her about it, like talk to her about it in a different way this time and just be like, look, it's too much for me at this point.
And I want to talk to you about figuring out a way to help me deal with this.
Is it me talking to your brother?
Is it you talking to your brother?
Is it all three of us having a conversation?
I don't want it to be, you know, I want to minimize the potential sensitive reactions by your family.
But like, I'm totally down to be as, you know, direct about it as I can be.
But I don't want to overstep anything that's going to make you feel uncomfortable.
Because obviously, and this is you to her, like, you're the most important person in this situation to me.
I want to make sure anything I do is okay with you.
And it's all good.
That's weird.
The whole thing's kind of weird
you know i none of it would bother me until the that phone call then i would be like all right
so i agree with you what phone call that that the brother got mad oh right and the dad called it's
like it's so enmeshed and but i want to know if the dad was like on the brother's side or like
all right i don't know what to tell you but your brother's right mad and i don't i don't know
that's different you know i bet the dad was like look why didn't you call yeah you should have said
goodbye to your brother now he's upset and it ruined his day like enmeshment oh you guys are
fucking babies enmeshment babies. You're all babies. Yep.
How's a mom feel too?
Like the last episode,
you're all babies.
Find a big crib.
Big dog needs to find a big crib
and fit the entire family
into that big crib.
Okay.
And then close the top of it
so they can't climb out.
The cage.
Yeah.
All right.
Cargo.
Let's do it.
Yo, what's up, Chris?
What's up, Matt?
That's a great beard.
So here's my question.
Chris, I will sell you my hair for $125,000.
Oh, that's a bad deal.
Now, here's the thing.
I literally just woke up.
So I just want to show you, you know, this is just an even playing field.
You know what I'm saying?
This is just the canvas.
Okay.
Right?
Oh, I see.
Lots of work with there.
Yeah, yeah.
So my question is, I will sell you my hair for $125,000.
Thank you.
We have the same hair, I guess?
Not really.
No? Why would I want his hair?
It's good hair.
Sure, but my hair's better.
It's the same hair.
I like my hair better than his.
His beard is killer.
He should have offered his beard.
I'll tell you what.
Well, maybe the beard's included.
Is the beard included?
He didn't say so.
I don't want that beard.
I think it's great, but I don't want it.
That beard would look crazy on me if i had that beard dude people would be like what the fuck yeah what's
going on that beard is so dense that beard is so dense it's that if you stuck your finger in and
pushed hard you might not get to his skin yeah you know what i'm talking about yeah it's like a brillo pad yep he it's like it's like a velcro it's like not yeah not hair no they shot they
shot deliverance in that beard yeah they did yeah it's got a creak in it people are lost inside
right now they shot lost in there is what they shot yeah the smoke monsters in there yeah yeah
um tailies are all up in the back. Who? The tailies.
Oh, you know Lost?
Yeah, I know about the tailies.
Oh.
That's pretty cool.
I forgot about the tailies.
Wow.
So anyway.
It's all good.
Hey, Matt and Chris.
To keep it brief,
I have recently decided
that I am not going to be drinking anymore just because, um,
every time I do, I wake up with a headache. Um, my body just doesn't respond to it well.
And even if I don't drink enough to get drunk, I still wake up feeling crappy. So, um, but because of that, people, people say really weird and invasive
things when, when you tell them that you're not drinking for some reason, like, Oh, are you an
alcoholic, um, to my face? Or are you hiding the fact that you're pregnant from us because god forbid i
just don't want to drink alcohol like yeah you know of course there has to be like this big
secret thing um anyway but the reason i'm bringing this up to you guys is because i'm
very curious what you guys would say in those like bar scenarios and stuff.
When you're telling them that you're not drinking
and they come back at you with some weird like pressure-y stuff
or making you feel bad for not drinking or being invasive.
Anyway, I'm just curious what you guys think of that.
And yeah, thank you.
So sweet.
Joking with you, but you did say to keep it brief.
You can't say stuff like that about someone who's being so sweet.
She's so sweet, but she said to keep it brief.
And then it was four minutes.
And it's all good.
She's very sweet.
It was a minute.
It was a minute.
But it's all good.
All right.
Well, what I'm saying is, yeah, no, I'm kidding.
But there is what she should do is is just say it might even be true you don't know because you
always get in headache just be like yo i figured out i'm like allergic to alcohol oh interesting
because like it's not even really a lie if you if you're always getting a headache afterwards just
be like yo it gives me a headache i'm allergic to it and the thing is you'll get in people who
like oh really like what is it that you're allergic to? The hops?
Yeah. Or whatever?
I know what you could do.
Say to me, like, well, what do you...
Did you drink in the night? No, I'm not.
How come?
Don't wanna.
Okay. That'll definitely get them
to stop talking to you.
Then you'll be known as the bitch
in town.
She's so sweet sweet imagine her doing that
yeah that woman don't wanna she would do it like this don't wanna um sorry we okay that's what she
would do uh no yeah you you that would if you don't want a lot ah dude it's really annoying
i mean he never drank i stopped drinking so people that me, I mean, I used to drink a lot too.
And I didn't quit because of any internal reason.
It wasn't like I was, I mean, maybe I was an alcoholic.
I actually don't even know.
You just kind of stopped.
But I just stopped for a health reason a long time ago.
And to explain that health reason would have been not only take too long it would be
really boring i'll sum it up the doctor said his penis was too small for doctor said you know gosh
you have this tiny penis situation your penis goes in and i was like well what do i do about that
they were like stop drinking so i stopped drinking yeah uh and now it comes out, it peaks out a little bit. It's still really small. From inside my body.
And no, I actually, I preempt anything.
So when people are like, what are you drinking?
Or can I get you a drink?
I'll say no.
And if anybody comes at me with more, even just a look, I'll say,
I'm not like an alcoholic or anything.
I just don't drink. If you put put out a vibe like shut the fuck up it'll be hard for her they will shut the
fuck up it'd be hard for her i know but it's not mean though i don't mean like be a dick i mean
it's like if you put out the vibe of like you don't want to know about it i don't want to talk
about it it's boring like it's i'm not an alcoholic i just i don't drink yeah that is enough
in my case, always.
No one's ever been like, oh, but what happened?
You know, it's just like, that guy doesn't drink.
And they can think, oh, what a fucking bore.
Oh, what a killjoy.
But that's on them, dude.
Even when I used to drink a lot, if someone was like, no, I don't drink,
I was never one of those people who was like, oh, oh, thinks he's better than me.
Or like, oh, come on, just have a drink.
People are like that.
They are like that
that those people suck though those people suck just be like well yeah you know let's have a drink
it'd be like uh oh yeah no oh you don't drink why not i just don't drink oh yeah well what's going
on how come did you stop or something be like did you ever get an abortion and be like well what
are you doing don't get personal be like i'll just figure since we're getting personal i would
get personal with you and then and then just. Yeah. Like facing them, but like your shoulders are bouncing.
I think it's, yeah, it's annoying.
That's one of those things that everyone's always going to have to deal with when they don't drink.
But just say you're allergic to it.
That's what I think.
Dude, do you think I'm a beanie guy?
Maybe.
Let's find out.
You certainly don't know how to put one on.
Let me see.
It seems so ridiculous.
Yeah, you kind of don't...
You don't...
You're not a hat head person.
I'm definitely not a ball cap guy.
Beanie, maybe.
Not a pink one.
It just kind of is silly.
I mean, here's the thing.
If you wore them sometimes,
you would look okay.
I would have to get people to normal.
Exactly.
You'd be used to it, yeah.
So really, that's not
something that it's not like i'm not a beanie guy it's boy it's exactly like well i'm not a
beanie guy but exactly i don't look bad in beanies do i look bad in beanies is what i'm asking
i look bad in a lot of baseball hats i will say that i look bad in them it's not that i'm not a
hat guy it's that i look bad oh i see i am not a hat guy but it's the fact that i look bad in a lot of baseball
hats not all of them okay okay i don't think i look bad in these but i think it's a a jarring
because it's so off brand for you because i don't because i don't wear them you know what i mean
yeah and that's fine wow it doesn Going to talk about it in therapy next time.
Do you think that I could wear a beanie, doctor?
All right.
Yeah, that sucks.
And we both obviously sympathize and can relate.
Nip it in the bud.
Nip it in the bud.
Tone of voice, vibe.
Just let it be known without actually saying the words.
Let's not talk about it.
It's boring.
Oh, yeah. Came. It's boring. Oh yeah.
Came.
Oh yeah.
All over.
Okay.
All right.
Next.
All right.
Yo,
what's up Chris?
What's up Matt?
The hair.
Big fan.
What's the hair?
Got some tea for you.
Some advice,
whatever your thoughts.
So my best friend of 20 years is getting married and And he has never heard of a prenup before.
I had to be the guy to bring it up to him.
I guess that night he went to his lady, printed out a prenup, and she didn't want to sign it.
And when she didn't want to sign it, what did he do?
He said, oh, it was my boy's idea.
He put it on me.
So ever since then, she's been real standoffish you know i'm trying to do double dates and all this i'm supposed to be playing bachelor party potato
chips down man's way uh yeah what's your guys's thoughts on that what's your guys's thoughts on
a prenup um he's 29 she's 36 he just started his business i told him it's not just for men it protects both
parties what's you guys's thoughts yeah well your friend is a fucking idiot if he's never heard of
had to have been he's never heard of in your words a prenup i had to be hyper hyperbole
there's no way that he hasn't heard of a prenup i mean i'm taking although i would say
guys with that hair that he has yes definitely probably know people that don't know a lot of
and guys that have no idea that crinkling something that much while recording anything
isn't gonna fuck up the recording this guy's that might not be his fault he probably isn't on camera
a lot let's let's give this guy that let's not give him the fact that you should cut your hair.
His hair doesn't even bother me.
I kind of like his hair.
It's short and long in the back.
I know.
It's kind of cool.
Have it long or short in the back.
I'm not even worried.
Mullet is fine.
He's got a rat tail.
I thought his hair was cool.
No.
He's got a rat tail.
I'm not going to lie just to join your club of bashing his hair
i'm not gonna lie just to be a part of your hair bashing club okay so what's his question his
question is how would you handle it now his girl now that guy's girl thinks he's a dickhead well
the dude is a fucking he's bitch made which guy the other dude what do you mean how oh it was
fucking the guy who told me to do it. Also, he printed it out?
Bro, you need a lawyer.
You need to do it legally.
You can't just be like, and she has to promise not to take all of my money.
Control P.
Print?
Dude.
Dude.
That's not.
What's control P?
Print?
Yeah.
Dude, print up.
Google.
Google.
P-R-E-N-U-M-P.
Print.
It's half a page.
And it's got all the places not filled out, like the blanks and shit?
Yeah.
It says...
Wow, dude.
That's just...
That whole thing's crazy.
You need to go to a lawyer.
You need to hire someone to do it.
Prenups are good, I guess.
They're good for both good i guess they're good
for both parties but they're a legal matter you can't just print up a template this whole thing
is so bonkers it's crazy what's he what's the craziest is that he was crinkling something that
is not the craziest thing fucking the most annoying part he didn't watch it back and think oh my god
i'm crinkling so much no he either did watch it back didn't realize it or didn't watch it back
he doesn't know both of those two things are absolutely insane to me.
Guys who have short hair in the back and long hair in the back don't know things.
I mean, clearly you're right, but I like his hair.
And they have friends who don't know things.
In isolation, if we're going to take each thing in isolation, I like his hair, but I'm not denying that that is true.
Okay.
Okay. okay so what you should do is first of all i don't know not not sure how close you are to the guy's girl but tell the dude
to fucking throw you a bone dude cover for you a little bit it's not your it's not his fault
here's it's not your fault here's the advice I would ultimately give you Yeah Who the fuck
Cares man
I guess
She's gonna get over it
She's not like
You didn't like call her
A gold digging piece of shit
Or something
You just said
In the prenup it says that
Get a prenup
Gold digging piece of shit
Prenup
Man it bothers me
That it was thrown an M in there
What M
He kept saying prenup
And I was like
Nump
Maybe I'm just hearing that
But then he said it
Before I even said anything
Hold on
He was saying prenup Yes Wasn't he Yes maybe i'm just hearing that but then he said it before i even said he was
saying prenup yes wasn't he yes yeah we both thought it short hair and long hair yeah look
i like the hair in isolation but it might come with a suite of other characteristics including
saying prenup including not knowing that crinkling too many things while you're recording something
fucking ruins it you just had cellophane yeah he's just like so hey guys so i just wanted to talk to you about prenups
i mean this was what he did yeah he reached over for it i know i know um i don't i that's
I don't That's
What if it said
Prenump on the top
Of the thing
That he printed out
On the header
It says
Our prenup
It doesn't even
Have their names
Me and my girls
Decided
We're gonna split it
Period
The prenup
Control P
T-H
T-E
Prenup
To prenup Instead of There's no h just so fucked up went to homer
simpson law um all right dude uh yeah that's whole thing is fucking crazy dad it's not your fault
how is your if he's never honestly if this dude's never heard of a prenup
then he's got way bigger issues that That's crazy to know what that is.
But here's the absolute truest possible thing.
If he's never heard of a prenup, he 100% guaranteed does not need a prenup.
Because he's a fucking idiot and he's not going to accumulate a lot of money in his lifetime.
Oh, it's still... He's starting a business and he's not going to accumulate a lot of money in his lifetime. Oh, it's still.
He's starting a business, he said.
Yeah.
A business of being a dumb shit.
Okay.
Not a good business. Dumb shit incorporated.
That's his business.
I would definitely want to know what that is.
Good marketing.
Good marketing.
All right.
Yeah.
Next one.
Next one.
Hey, Matt.
Hey, Chris.
Need some advice.
What's up?
I'm a uh teacher um nice and the teacher that teaches next to me uh right down the hall um thinks we're best friends
and i'm not a not a big fan of this person don't have anything against their character just they're kind of annoying
and always want to have conversations with me and always want to you know come in during my room
on our lunch break and you know talk about mostly complain complain about students and
co-workers and things like that and sometimes i I just, you know, want to chill by myself,
but also don't want to be a jerk and whatever.
So, um,
yeah.
Any advice on how I can tell him to chill and leave me alone while not being a douche to him,
you know?
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh,
well,
this is a common theme,
I think in our,
uh, in the show.
We get one of these types of things every so often.
So it leads me to believe that this is like a pretty universally relatable problem.
The person at work that thinks they're friends with you when you don't want to be friends with them at all.
they're friends with you when you don't want to be friends with them at all.
I think in your situation, because you're a teacher and they're a teacher and it's kind of just
independent and it's not technically teachers don't even really have to
interact with each other.
Unlike most job situations,
I think,
tell me if I'm wrong,
you have license,
you have more latitude to be an actual dick about it.
What then? What then? Someone who like shares an office with someone. Oh, you have license, you have more latitude to be an actual dick about it.
Then what?
Then someone who like shares an office with someone.
Oh,
it sees them all the time and they take conference conferences together or whatever,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
This,
you can be like,
I'm not saying you should do this,
but you have the right to,
and I don't think it would come back to bite you too bad if you were like,
look,
I really appreciate my breaks alone.
Like if you don't mind
uh leave me the fuck alone well you know yeah or just say you're fucking grading papers dude
i don't but that you can't say that every time you could no no i think no i think you need to
do something that is gonna last got it you can't have you can't be like every single time you need to do something that is going to last. Got it. You can't be like, every single time you need a new excuse.
Because then you're just a liar.
It's like, I got to return videotapes.
I got it.
Once, and then it will never be weird again.
Yeah, true.
But then you got to see them and shit.
Lay it down.
Lay it down once.
Yeah, but then it's weird when you see them and stuff.
Not really.
But not if you don't care.
Keep your enemies close.
Keep your friends close.
It doesn't apply at all.
I'm a big, big believer in Sun Tzu and the art of war, man.
Wow.
Okay.
Did he even say that?
Was that from him?
Sun Tzu, the enemies thing?
Friends close, enemies closer.
Yep.
Sun Tzu.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
Well.
Actually, I think it's Machiavelli.
Machiavelli.
Michael Valley?
I think Michael Valley said that.
Is it Machiavelli that said that or is it Sun Tzu?
No, it's Sun Tzu.
I'm very cultural. I'm very historical Keep your friends close
But keep your enemies closer
But really it was just
Keep your frenemies inside your butthole
I think that might have been Machiavelli
It was Sun Tzu
Yes dude I'm so fucking smart
Here's the thing about that the art of war
I got the art of war Because Tupac changed his name to Machiavelli and it was from Machiavelli. And I started listening. I started reading Machiavelli and I started looking at Sun Tzu.
I didn't write.
But in that world of stuff, I was kind of, you know what I mean? It's like the same universe in a way, like how Avengers are, you know, oh, I got into
Spider-Man because I got into Superman, that kind of thing.
Okay.
Okay.
You were worried about the beginning being boring.
That wasn't boring.
This, that was boring.
I truly think that that was not boring.
Okay.
So we agree to disagree.
Agree to disagree.
But I will say, though, that the art of war was not good.
And I will also say that he was,
that was one of those things that,
remember back then,
I'm not saying it wasn't good, I'm joking,
but like, you know what, back then.
Back then when Sun Tzu wrote Art of War?
Yeah.
Okay.
But back then,
was it really smart to say those things
or was it just he was the first guy to do it?
You know what I'm talking about?
Well, it's still smart to say those things.
It's smart. Keep your friends close to enemies closer no the whole thing i'm not that
not just that keeping friends close your enemies closer is a very smart thing to i guess come up
with it's not a smart thing to just be like oh that's dope i'm gonna say that too no so my point
is is sun tzu really the kind of guy who comes up with keep your friends close enemies closer or
is he a guy that kind of maybe heard someone else say it and be like, no, it's kind of dope.
I'm going to put it in my book.
Sun Tzu definitely didn't hear other people saying anything.
He probably came into contact with like 80 people in his life.
Back then, it's not like you could hear other people saying things.
A pigeon could have dropped it off.
Yeah, a pigeon. You know how they do it?
Yeah, maybe, but I don't think that happened either.
By the way, do you ever believe that that ever worked?
I don't ever believe that worked.
I believe it worked.
Put a node in the pigeon and fly it to another town?
I believe it worked, but I can't believe that humans actually figured that out.
But yeah, that is a real thing.
I believe it never
worked once oh okay well you put it yo they're coming to get you yeah yeah oh shit well i
actually don't even know how that works that's a good point but i guarantee you it it has worked
you know no not once i hate when they do that movies when it and the windowsill
and the shit and the laser go what's this oh a handsome suitor like that doesn't really happen
that often in movies you know what i mean every single every single movie where there's castles
that it almost happens and like frilly yeah stuff yeah it doesn't have like ben stiller movies but
i'm just saying like yeah that's never worked once and we're led to believe that that's worked
and that's never worked once we'll get to the bottom of it on luxury okay all right we'll really research it
and everything uh let's get one more in though before this ends okay we go we'll get one more
guys love the podcast uh chris and matt love what you're doing uh chris will be seeing you in
richmond virginia november so question for today i share the name of an extremely famous athlete um someone who's
no longer playing but but was huge when they were jay lord perry every time i meet anyone
it always comes up and say oh you used to play for you, some kind of corny joke. Oh, no. I work with a lot of, like, white-collar guys,
so I can't slam them into oblivion like I'd like to.
So any tips that you have to deal with that?
What can I do to kind of get back to these guys
and just let them know, like, yeah, you know,
you're not being original here.
That sucks.
All right, thanks, guys.
Appreciate the advice.
What sucks is, like, imagine your name was fucking for real, like Bobby Bonilla.
Sammy Sosa.
Yeah.
Like, it...
Nomar Garcia Parra.
Like, it...
Jose Canseco would be incredible.
It sucks.
Yeah.
It sucks.
And also, what were your parents thinking?
Although, it could have happened to where they didn't know it was going to happen.
Right?
They could have named you before the guy got famous of course but he said he doesn't play
anymore so one would believe yeah he was probably around then the parents probably just didn't know
yeah um but that being said we only said baseball players which is i was just gonna say that yeah
but we're interesting yeah yeah manute ball you know his name is oj sim. His name is O.J. Simpson. His name is Manute Ball. Very famous believed murderer to some.
Believed murderer, you know.
Well, he, you know.
No, I know.
Never was convicted.
No, he certainly wasn't.
But.
But.
Pretty much, but.
I think he did it.
He did it.
And everyone knows it.
It could have been his son, dude.
O.J. Simpson's son.
That's the theory?
You ever see that conspiracy?
It's pretty wild.
There's a conspiracy theory that there was a serial killer at that time and was purportedly in that area.
And there's a whole book written about it.
I think there was even a TV movie made about the book that posits the theory that it was in fact a serial killer who killed nicole
brown and ron goldberg what isn't that crazy whoa yeah the the you got to look up the son one it's
pretty wild especially like me being a dad i'd be like oh actually i could see that because like if
the kid the kid had a little bit of some issues and then went crazy and then the dad's like i
fucking did it same dna anyway who. Who's his son? Tom Simpson.
No, I have no idea.
BJ Simpson?
There it is.
BJ.
Wait.
Orange juice and blowjob.
What did this person ask about?
Oh, the name.
Yeah, I think what you do, it's similar to the not drinking thing.
You introduce yourself and you, without being a dick, just be like, ha ha, I know.
It's this.
Because you don't want to let the person think they're going to be clever.
Here's the thing about that.
It's bad for everybody, the person that thinks they're being clever.
It's bad for you, obviously, because you're so sick and tired of it.
But it's bad for them because it makes you think that person is just a fucking idiot like everybody else who thinks they're clever.
So you have an incentive to nip it in the bud.
You want to like new people that you meet.
Like you have an incentive to nip it in the bud.
You want to like new people that you meet. And they're putting themselves in such a hole when you first meet them by being like, oh, Mark McGuire.
Hey, Big Mac.
You know?
Let me check those arms.
You're on steroids?
