I don't know.
I don't know.
It seems a little negative.
You said it first.
Let's...
How dare you?
I'm just building off what you started.
Hashtag fuck Streeter.
Hashtag this was Amir's idea.
Let's get into it
This is episode 100
We got not only Benny Schwartz but Tommy Mids
In the same room at the same time
And not only did we get them but we also got real
Oh da
Thank you
Let's do this
If I were you
With Jake and Amir
Talking about if I were you
Shedding a tear
I said if I were you
I'd make up my mind real quick
If Jake was you
He'd probably let you suck his dick.
Dick.
That's what the song is really about.
Dick.
Dickie dick.
That's what the song's about.
Oh, Jake's old dick.
It's got a nice D.
I saw it in the shower yesterday.
It sways
and flows like this
but you don't know until
you see him piss.
Holding hands, looking
at each other in the eyes and
kissing.
That's right, we hold each other's
hands, we look at each other's hands we look
at each
other's
eyes
and we
kiss
four dudes
kissing
if I were
you
four dudes
kissing
if I were
you
staring
in each
other's
eyes
if I were you
That was so bad.
Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz.
Jake on guitar.
Thank you.
First guests who have ever recorded their own intro music.
That was really good.
It was kind of beautiful, yeah.
Yeah.
Towards the end.
Can't wait to hear that back in seven months.
It was cool,
because the over-under on Dick Jokes was 91 seconds,
and we got it right in.
That's my fault.
During the theme song.
I messed myself up,
because I said something that could rhyme with Dick,
and then I was like...
And then it was game over.
Yeah, and then when I was like,
oh, rhymes with Dick,
I gotta find out a way to put Jake's name
before the word Dick.
Literally, that's what my process was.
It was really nice,
because I was just trying to um not fuck up the guitar yeah but i like could intermittently hear things about my penis so that was oh you try not to listen yeah
yeah because otherwise i'd laugh and then i'm like really bad at the time is we're just grown
men whose pinnacle idea of humor is a nice dick reference. Yeah. That's true. How old are you guys? I've always thought of him.
Jake's not over 30.
Jake, how old are you?
Jake's 22.
He's 22!
Wow!
22 years young!
Jake's my little cousin's best friend.
That's how the web series started.
No, it's okay.
Episode 100.
Hey, we did it, guys!
It was hard.
100.
How many have you done, Thomas?
Together, have we done about 50 of those 100?
I would say you've done about a tenth of that.
Together, you've done five or six.
I like that very much.
This is your third and your third.
No, you've both done probably...
Thomas has done three.
Oh, so this is his fourth?
Yeah.
Wow.
Is this my third or my fourth?
Yeah.
Well, we did two the first time, plus the one where it just means two.
Oh, wow. The two veterans. You got the one where it just beats two oh wow the two veterans
you got the two veterans in here for number 100
but this is one of our first shows
with four guests too so that'll be
a terrible idea
maybe too we might get to zero questions
Thomas one of the bits I did
from my old one is we never got to questions
I always ask to wait one more second
so if we can continue that bit on this one
without just like...
Maybe. I like the questions.
Tom does a lot of fun questions.
Oh, well, then this is going to be weird.
It already begins.
When we get to a question.
The questions are my favorite part.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, I just like talking.
I don't like listening to anybody's questions.
Oh, but I want to help the little boys and girls.
The little boys and girls.
Boy to toy, you remember them.
Hey, can you do... is that Smee from Hook?
Smee, Smee, what about Smee?
That's a bad Smee.
That's a good Smee.
That's a good Smee.
That's a Smee.
She wants to be in the middle.
She wants to be in the middle of us.
That's what it was, right?
Yeah.
Can you give the origin to that?
Oh, we actually, we talked about it. I forget it though, but we it was, right? Yeah. Can you give the origin to that? Oh, we actually talked about it.
I forget it, though.
But we invented that, right?
Yeah, we were at that symphony, and then we...
Thomas had the best quote for that.
He said it was like the whitest place he's ever been.
Or what was it?
I don't know.
Why did you go to a symphony with each other?
Michael Giacchino does the score for Up, and he was performing.
His performance was fantastic.
By the way,
everybody was,
I thought it was really good.
It was just a very different tempo
but it was him performing Up
and then a bunch of different people
and I enjoyed it very much.
And then,
didn't Kendrick Lamar close it?
And Kendrick Lamar closed it.
That's crazy.
We actually had to leave
halfway through
to perform Snowpants
so we didn't get to see Kendrick.
Oh, really?
Wait, Kendrick really closed it?
No, no, no. It was all like, it was, Kendrick really closed it? No, no, no.
It was all like the Philharmonic.
Oh, no, no, I know him an asshole.
You guys are all too good, man.
I'd like to be.
And someone wanted to take a picture, right?
Yeah, sweet little lady.
Sweet little lady wanted to take a picture, and then we said, get in the middle.
No, she said, oh, no, we said, where do you want to be?
And she said, I want to be in the middle.
And then we were both like, she wants to be in the middle.
And then in my brain, she just left, and you guys were still singing.
By the way, 100%, when she left, we were still singing.
Yeah, I was saying, I told everyone, I can't stop singing.
It's in my mind on repeat.
I'm going insane.
The best part is I thought Thomas had his phone towards,
I had my phone towards Thomas,
and I was filming the orchestra behind him and Thomas,
and then Thomas put his phone on me and was recording, and I was laughing.
And then he showed me his video, and he was taking a video of himself.
So he wasn't taking a video of me at all.
So you both were videoing him.
Yes, so he had two different angles of himself.
I thought that was so funny.
Well, they were doing that song, that guy, Cheesy McCheesy.
He was going, I want to red light so bright on Broadway. No, notesy, he was going, I wanna red light so bright on
Broadway. No, not Broadway. He was going
Hollywood. Oh, yeah.
Any piney poopies, Hollywood.
Simon Rich and
something else. Simon Rich?
I can't believe Simon Rich is in that song.
Is that who he was named after? Yep.
Probably, right? Because the song predates
him. Yeah.
But that was a fun night. Should we even explain how the show works or if you made it this far, it's pretty... No, maybe this Because the song predates him. Yeah. But that was a fun night.
Should we even explain how the show works?
Or if you made it this far, it's pretty...
No, maybe this is the intro.
Maybe this is the first time people are ever listening.
Give them a quick whatever.
That's true.
Because, yeah, there is a chance that people are just tuning in because of y'all.
Well, new listener, they go, 100 episodes.
That's what I would think.
Well, sorry, the anniversary.
And then he completes his stroke.
By the way, I agree.
That's what happens.
I think all these new listeners are probably going to pass away from strokes.
Really?
But if I hadn't listened to a podcast before and it said, like, 100th anniversary, I would
assume that you would get people you like to play with on.
Oh, okay.
Or at least bigger celebrities.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you probably should have gotten bigger celebrities.
Like who?
Do you guys know anybody?
I want to meet in the...
You could have got, man know you could have got you
could have got man you could have got a big boy uh you could have got one of those big boys yeah
yeah i'd say uh this podcast just does texting bigger celebrities to see if they'll go on the
podcast for a phone call i go through you guys's phone and just text in whoever is there someone
more famous than you that you can text and get here in the next 45 minutes?
No, come on.
Mike Still.
We can try to get Mike Still.
Mike Still, maybe Johnny Conroy.
You're naming people
that we could probably get a...
I don't know who we could get.
Who lives where you guys live?
Who does live where we are? Let me paint the picture where we are.
Right now, me and Thomas are on a couch.
In front of me, Amir Blumenfeld wearing nothing but purple shorts.
Are you wearing underwear?
Be honest.
I'm wearing shorts and underwear.

She's going to tell me about the healing from within.
You play the chiropractor.

My back is killing me today.
Oh, you poor thing.
Well, as we all know, we heal from within and we expel negative energy without.
That's fine.
But do you mind if you fix my back?
Okay.
What's going to happen is I'm going to lay you down and I'm going to assess your energy
and sort of see where it knocks up.
Skip the energy part and just feel where it hurts.
Okay.
Well, I'm feeling you and I can see here there's a kink in your chakra.

Not yet, baby.
This is going to be the first 70-hour podcast.
Give us a question.
I want them.
Okay, but before we ask questions, can I ask you guys a question?
No, no, no, no.
I know the fun thing with Ben is to not answer questions.
When do you choose to wear underwear and when do you choose not to wear underwear?
Why did you choose not to wear underwear?
And then how long will you go?
Because you're getting in your car in a little bit.
I like to not wear underwear? Why did you choose not to wear underwear and then how long will you go? Because you're getting in your car in a little bit. I like to not wear underwear
if I'm wearing shorts.
Because I like to feel the air.
I like to feel the air on my thing.
But that's the time you should wear underwear because that's when
people can look up your shorts and see your balls and penis.
I don't think anybody can see my balls and penis.
Can you see my balls and penis right now?
Well, if I went at a certain angle, I could.
There's a possibility.
No, I think the shorts are too tight.
I don't think you can.
You're right.
It's okay.
But I wear baggy, baggy shorts.
Hey, but Jake, I don't care if I would see your baller penis.
Yeah, I don't really care if anybody sees my baller penis.
I would have to be in a pretty weird position for someone to get a good look for a long
time at my baller penis.
Yeah, that's true.
If someone catches a glimp, that's fine.
A glimp.
A single glimp.
A singular glimp.
All right.
A glimp.
So I misspoke once, and that's going to be how I remember. That's the show. I said a glimp. A singular glimp. So I misspoke once
and that's going to be how I remember.
I said a glimp.
A single glimp.
Nobody misspeak on this podcast, huh?
Misspeak?
Oh god, two for two, Jake.
Misspeak?

What was wrong with misspeak?
Do you guys have TV here if we want to watch the Simpsons marathon after this?

Orlando Bloom, you mean?
No, but have you met one?
No.
I've never.
Anybody?
Jakey? Yeah, I knew a guy that had a kid named Orlando once.
I don't believe that.
That's a Kevin Bacon removal right there.
You don't know the kid, do you?
I met him.
Oh, okay.
I don't think you met him.
I can't imagine you hanging out with anybody's kids.
I'm great with kids.
Prove it.
How?
Pretend I'm a kid.
Pretend Thomas is a kid and I'm the father.
Hey, Jakey, Can you do me a favor

We're gonna ask
We're gonna answer a question

He's really touching me.
He's just actually changing him.
He's changing your diaper.
Whoa, there is shit in here.
Orlando, Orlando, Orlando Cornel.
Orlando.
What musical is that from?
What musical is it from?
Anybody?
Ben.
You have to be a better host than this. This is real.
If you guess this correctly.
Give me the phone because I'll be better than you.
No, I can't.
Shut up.
Okay, for real.
What musical is that from when they go, Orlando?
Book of Mormon.
Okay, we get to the first question.
By the way, you're not the gatekeeper.
You're letting Ben host the podcast.
Is that okay?
No.
Hey, guys.
I need some advice.
I was recently using my mom's laptop while mine was being worked on, and while I was
using it, I noticed a folder on her desktop labeled Stories.
Oh, boy.
After I opened it, I started reading some of the Word docs, and I noticed that the short
stories were all about my family.
But the plots of some of the stories are events that happen in real life, but she adds romantic
drama.
For example, all of us sitting at a table, but we are all in our underwear shirtless, oiled up.
What?
This is the mom? The mom does this?
Mm-hmm.
I did not read enough to see if it got hardcore.
See, the questions are interesting.
I did not read enough to see if it got hardcore, but it is creepy nonetheless.
Should I confront my mom about this?
Thanks, Orlando Cornolt.
Wow.
This is his own mother.
His mother is writing erotic family fiction.
About themselves.
Fam fiction.
Fam fiction.
What happens?
Wait, so theoretically her son is involved in this shirted oil?
Yeah, they're all oiled up.
She's writing erotic stories where the whole family is oiled up.
Yeah.
As a non-family member, there's part of me that's like, cool.
No, that's terrible.
But then the rational side takes it and I'm like, oh, that's horrible.
You wouldn't read...
You wouldn't be into...
Are you into that?
Like, are you into those videos of, like, porno where it's like, father finally fucks his
daughter?
Like, do you hunt down those?
No, but mother finally fucks her son.
Yeah, stepmom...
Mother finally fucks her legitimate son?
No.
Oh, God.
Well, I know they're not really.
It's really tough, because sometimes they're they're like stepkids, you know?
And that's decently hot.
But then sometimes it's like actually sister, brother.
Is that hot?
Stepkids?
That's kind of hot.
I mean, it doesn't really matter.
I'm not in it for the story.
But sometimes the girl is hot and she's like, oh, I love fucking my brother.
I'm like, shush.
Don't say anything.
Also, I just want to say that this guy didn't read enough to see if it gets actually erotic.
But it definitely does.
Absolutely.
Yeah, they are oiled up sitting. They're me right now but oiled right and then the rest of it is that they wipe the oil off and put their clothes back on yeah they all take a shower what
does that mean so what what's the extent like if it's the romance is like the they all start
kissing or having sex that would be such a different story then what happens if they just
come back from they by mistake fell in a bunch of grease.
The mom's not a good writer.
Yeah, exactly. Babies, babies, babies.
He totally should not
say anything to the mom.
Oh, you don't think so, regardless of what I agree.
No, this is something that's just like,
you don't need to be a part of her life.
A, she had a whole life before you, so just chill the fuck out.
And then B,
let her have her things.
Yeah, she's a
mother she's like working hard all the time this is like this her secret little thing that gets her
off i think you shouldn't take it away whoa okay whoa whoa whoa may not get her off it definitely
gets her off she's jerking off she's masturbating to this maybe this is a dark one it's hard this
is a very if the guy if the person if it's gonna bother him and really bother him and every time
he sees his mom he's gonna think about how my God, she's probably thinking about all of us fucking on the French toast or whatever it is.
The next dinner is going to be very silent.
Imagine that.
Of course she's going to think that.
Anytime they're around.
This kid should just show up to dinner covered in oil.
Is this what you want, mother?
Does this remind you of anything, mother?
I would say if you did open that can of worms, you may get something
weird. That's opening a door.
I know that it is opening a door.
A door of worms.
Do you want to open that door of worms
to your mommy? Do you want a glip of that door
or no? It was a glip.
You misspoke now. Let's all make fun
of Ben for saying glip, everybody.
I said glip. I said it wrong.
Yeah, come on. but you said his wrong
thing yeah i know how about him i messed up i made a huge mistake oh at least he admits it
you're a fucking asshole jake you're the worst amir what would you do what would you say i would
be so terrified i would i would close the folder and walk away forever so when you look at the mom
your mom your mom the next time wouldn't you be like oh oh yeah there's no way the mom the next time. Wouldn't she be like, oh, yeah, there's no way. The next meal is going to be so quiet.
Did you guys ever read Oedipus?
Oedipus Complex?
Oedipus Rex.
It's a...
Oh, wait, no, it's...
It's all Greek.
It's a Greek story.
It's a Greek tragedy
where this guy stumbles across
his mother's erotic fan fiction
about himself.
No.
And he gouges his eyes out.
No way.
It's the equivalent.
This is a modern-day equivalent
of Oedipus.
Ay-yi-yi.
I think...
Ay-yi-yi. that conversation will be too strange.
Is she like sexual and forward with you in real life?
If not, then let it lie.
Let that sleep in dog's sleep.
That's true.
Thomas brings up a great point.
If she's very forward in talking about sex and stuff, it may be something to bring up.
But if you come from a very reserved family, by the way, protect your fucking files If you're going to write about fucking your own daughter
Or whatever the hell it is
We're jumping to conclusions
It's bad enough that he found it
Exploring it any further
It's not going to get better
It's not like there's a resolution
That his mom's like, oh yeah
I didn't write that
There's nothing that she could say
Oh, those stories?
Those stories weren't for you.
What about this idea?
Leaving just a little reminder
or a little note to her that you've seen it.
Like, write stories from mom on the folder.
That way she knows someone was there.
She knows you heard it.
There's so much about how you were raised, by the way.
For real.
What if you were a dad and you were writing stories about your father, about your family,
and then you opened up your folder and you saw a little WordPad note that says, like,
I know what you wrote.
You'd be like, that's way too on the wall.
All I want to do is add an asterisk at the end of the file name stories.
So she's like, I didn't put that there.
I wonder what's going on.
She checks around.
She clicks around.
Nothing else has changed.
But everything has changed.
We weren't covered in oil.
What if the guy just went through and made revisions to the whole thing?
The guy gave really extensive writing notes.
Just like good constructive notes.
Only grammar notes, though.
The story is fine.
Okay, how about this?
How about he may be looking into it too much.
Maybe it's not their family.
Maybe it's a family, and this is something he thinks about,
but it's not the kid.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Maybe it could be that.
Yeah, maybe he's wishing it was his family because he's the weirdo.
Whoa, by the way.
You're a pervert, kid.
The point is, this is this lady's private fiction.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Reading words of fiction.
Let it be.
When I find
no we're not doing the next
of course
everyone took off their headphones at that point anyway
drove into a freeway
overpass
jumping due to freeway
tell your mom or no
don't tell your mom
I don't know I'm on the fence
I don't know what to do
walk me through that conversation I'm not thinking about the conversation I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence. I don't know what to do because if it was... Walk me through that conversation.
I'm the mom. I'm not thinking about the conversation.
I'm thinking about it driving the kid crazy.
Because it's obviously driving the kid crazy.
So he's going to have to stuff it down into himself
until he fucking hurts and feels terrible?
No, you just remind... What's the solution? If he says
something that he feels terrible and she
feels terrible. Right now, two people feel bad.
Well, maybe he can get a resolution
that makes him feel better. If he's like,
hey, mom, I found something on the computer that made me feel kind of awkward.
I don't know.
It matters how old the family is.
I'm sorry I masturbate to you
covered in oil, son.
Oh, my God.
And then she's like,
I'm a horrible mother.
And he's like,
you're a horrible mother.
And then everything is terrible.
I want to know more about that family.
I want to know more about that mom.
I'd like to read some of those stories.
I guess it is possible
that she needs to be reported
to child services.
You're a horrible mother, but an amazing writer.
The mother grabs the child by the waist and pulls him in.
I mean, if he's like 15 years old and she's writing a fan fiction about him covered in oil and then like blowing it.
But that's not a huge problem.
Is that erotic?
That's not erotic.
Just covered in grease?
That's not enough.
We've jumped to some serious conclusions.
Yeah, I agree.
We need more information.
Nobody's fucking each other.
Literally, they're just sitting around eating meal, and they're greasy.
Well, he stopped reading there.
That's like the intro paragraph.
Of course he goes to fucking.
Yeah, what happens if a dragon came in?
What about if the story's about a dragon?
How's that going to do with the family?
Is that illegal?
Can you fuck a dragon?
Last time I checked, you could.
What?
What?
You fucked a kimono dragon.
Oh, no.
That's dangerous, man. Their spit will kill you dude is that true
yeah they got poisonous mad poisonous spit shit you're cool man shit yo shit that thomas he knows

And then?
I realized it was true.
Oh, man.
I can show you a Komodo dragon.
The LA Zoo has one.
No joke.
No.
Yeah, dude.
You go to the zoo, they have them.
Shut your mouth.
No, for real.
You go up to the zoo.
It's right near where Warner Brothers is.
Don't be an asshole. I think you're just
saying catchphrases now because you're not listening to me.
Hey, did I do that?
Oh, no. Now you're saying 90s early 90s.
Anyone want some cheese?

Yeah, baby. It's Urkel.

Quirkcopter writes,
Hey guys, love the show, especially Jake.
So I recently got into this amazing relationship with a total dime.
We've been dating for a week and a half and everything is going swimmingly
when suddenly the topic of my surgery came up.
Oh no.
She was freaking out because there's a chance I could die during it.
During what? During sex?
The surgery.
She started to have this come-apart.
Hey, it's part of the world.
Lexicon, thank you, Lacey McGovern-O'Cuddy, or whatever her name is.
She was the best.
She started to have this come-apart and really wanted to come see me in the hospital with her parents.
I'm only going to be there for one day, and I'm going to be heavily dosed on drugs, not to mention I won't even be able to talk.
I feel uncomfortable for her and her family to
come see me in the hospital. I think that's
a weird way to meet. How do I tell her
I don't want her to see me in the hospital,
or that I don't want visitors at all?
Or am I just being ridiculous and they should just come?
This is an easy one, I think. I think everybody's going to be
on the same page for this one.
I think you absolutely
don't have... You asked the parents
not to come.
You're in the hospital
for one day.
You don't want to meet
the parents that way.
By the way,
what surgery is it
that you're only there
for one day?
And he could die.
I think it's either tonsils,
wisdom teeth,
or deviated septum.
Not going to die from those.
There's always a small chance
any time you get anesthesia
that you could die.
Babies.
Whose parents?
His own?
No, his girlfriend.
His girlfriend and
her parents? Yeah, and he's never met her parents
and they've only been dating for a certain amount of time. Oh shit, the food's
here. Let's press pause. No, no, no, let's
keep talking. Okay, it's three of us. Here's what happens.
Okay, you say, baby, I'd love for you to come
if you want, but I think I'm gonna be
down and out and maybe not have your parents come
because I'm gonna be like recovering from my life-threatening
surgery. It's just you and I.
Everybody's gone.
This is it.
This is the reserve team.
Now we can get to the real issues.
Let's gab.
Let's quickly read another question.
They come back and we're just reading emails and giggling to each other.
Maybe in our entire dinner.
I think Benny Boy's right.
You can just say
I mean it's surgery
You can be like
I'm gonna feel gross
You can come
But I'd rather meet your parents
At a different surgery
I feel like this dude
Is a pussy man
What's the surgery
If it's like something
Where it's like
There's a 2% chance
I'm gonna die
Then it's like
You shouldn't have even
Got her worked up
Just say you're not gonna die
Do you think
That it's weird In general of her to want this?
I think it's normal.
It's weird for her to be like, I just want to see you, and I want to bring my parents.
Yeah.
Parents part is very weird.
After a week and a half.
Oh, does she stay with me for a week and a half?
Yes.
Then no.
Absolutely do not bring the parents.
Absolutely say, hey, I'm so uncomfortable.
I mean, this is the easiest.
I'm getting mad now.
You say, please, I'm so sorry, but please, it'll make me uncomfortable I'm getting mad now. You say, please, I'm so sorry, but, like, please, it'll make me uncomfortable.
I don't know your parents.
I'd rather meet them in a different way.
I love, and by the way, if he's uncomfortable with her coming,
I love the idea that you want to come, which he probably does.
He's like, but I feel like I'm going to be drugged out,
and I don't want you to see me like that.
I just met you, blah, blah, blah.
Why doesn't he just, like, a little white lie?
It's against hospital policy.
Why would you lie?
We just gave you truth to say. You're not allowed to come jakey why is your first instinct to lie i said
white lie and i just said if he wants to it's an option i'm not saying i do i would do it yeah
because what if she battles back she's like i but i really want my parents to see you this way or
she's like oh really because i was in the hospital like last week visiting some friends of mine
and i can't tell you how when my friend brought his parents, it made me feel, oh, I don't know.
If it's possible,
try to die during surgery.
You won't have to meet anybody.
What does it mean to be dating
for a week and a half?
That's what?
One date?
Two dates?
Maybe they're falling for each other.
Maybe it's really positive.
Like you see each other once
and then every day for 10 days?
He said she's a dime.
She's a tenner.
She's a dame.
She's a tenner that he's been with
for 10 days.
I think you could say, I want you to come. I don't want your parents to come. It's fine if she sees him all drugged up. That's okay. That's a tenor she's a dame she's a tenor that he's been with for ten days I think you could say
I want you to come
I don't want your parents
to come
it's fine if she sees him
all drugged up
that's okay
it could be adorable
he'll say things like
when all those people
come back from the dentist
and he's like
I'm a pony
ride me
what happens if he says
really racist things
and it ruins the whole relationship
well then he doesn't
deserve to be in a relationship
that's true
well or
she should get her camera out
and film it
and put it on YouTube.
Then we can all laugh at it.
At the very least, he could be a star because of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think he should be a little sensitive to her.
Because this isn't necessarily all about him.
It's like her feelings.
So you think it's rude to say don't come?
I don't think it's rude to say don't come.
I don't think this is a good time for me to meet your parents.
That's correct.
If you want to come, you can.
Just know that I'm going to be really drugged, and I'm a little embarrassed.
I don't know.
I guess Warner.
Maybe you'll feel better if you're just Warner.
And start with don't take it the wrong way.
I can't wait to meet your parents, but I don't think that –
Yeah, I want to meet them when I'm healthy.
Yeah.
I like that answer, Jake, instead of you lying about,
the hospital doesn't allow old parents in here.
Not for me.
The hospital might not allow them.
They might not.
It might not be totally kosher.
Why doesn't he say,
I want them to visit me
when I'm recovering at home?
Well, let them have a glimpse
when they get home.
Whoa, man.
Thank you.
Well, look,
it's the Goodyear Glimpse.
Right over there,
over Dodger Stadium.
I'm just going to pounce
on whoever says the wrong word
I promise you
I can't wait
I can't wait also
it's gonna be me again
nothing can possibly
go wrong
possibly go wrong
that's the first thing
that's ever been gone wrong
that's my favorite
Simpsons episode
Simpsons nerds
marathon's on right now
when is this one coming out
Monday September 8th
the day of our London show
come if you're listening and you're in London there's still tickets available Monday September 8th, the day of our London show. Come if you're listening
and you're in London.
There's still tickets available.
Monday, September 8th.
If it comes out,
I'm on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
Watch me on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
Is that true?
Monday, September 8th?
Oh, fun.
Thomas, what do you have to promote
for September 8th specifically?
It has to happen on September 8th.
Is there a Bachelor in Paradise that day?
Yeah, there is.
I know.
I was going to say
the marathon goes for
how much longer?
Ten more days probably.
Eight more days probably.
8 more days.
Are you still watching season 15, 16?
I am.
And I think it's really fucking funny.
Oh, still?
Yeah.
You got to watch it.
It's been overrated.
No, underrated.
The later seasons.
I just don't feel like our generation has watched as much.
I wonder if you ask the generation underneath us.
Because we were addicted.
Do you watch The Simpsons at all times?
Are you one of those guys?
Not anymore.
All right.
I invited you to do the thing and you didn't say yes, right?
Well, I was out of town.
All right.
So like... I was out of town.
So casual and passive-aggressive, this conversation.
Oh, that's right.
I invited you to say no.
So you didn't want to join me when I was doing something about The Simpsons, right?
I was out of town.
I flew to Chicago and the weather made me turn back, so I just flew right back.
I was on the airplane all day.
They only allowed immediate relatives in the room.
Is that true?
Because when you asked me to do your show, I said on the airplane all day. They only allowed immediate relatives in the room. Is that true? Because when you asked me
to do your show,
I said, yeah, no problem.
Did you really fly to Chicago
and they did a U-turn
during the flight
and you landed back in L.A.?
I was supposed to go to Cincinnati.
Everybody at the
College of Cincinnati,
University of Cincinnati,
my apologies.
You're going to stand-up comedy?
I'm doing stand-up comedy, babies.
I love it.
I love it.
Everyone at the
University of Cincinnati,
my apologies
because I got to Chicago
and the weather had delayed the flight to Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, yeah, everybody heard that.
Thank you.
Classic glimp over here.
Continue.
And Thomas is the one, the guy that had made fun of me about the glimp.
Hey, man, chill, man.
I'm nice.
And then, so I delayed it so I wouldn't be able to make it into town, and then I flew
back to Los Angeles.
Oh, that sucks.
That is the saddest thing.
I don't know.
It was coach.
I loved it.
Chicago's got a nice airport.
Remember they got those
like tostados?
Chicago's great.
Oh yeah, the tortas.
Tortas, yeah.
Hey, Chicago,
why don't you bring
either Thomas and I
to do two-person improv
or bring this whole
entire podcast over?
Are you listening, Chicago?
Come on, Chicago.
How much fun would it be
to go to Chicago?
You decline it.
I've asked you a million times.
To tour?
Remember I asked you to my thing and you said no?
I'm a two-person improv.
Oh, you're a liar.
You're saying it now here on the air in front of all these people.
You're a liar.
I told you a little bit ago that I said that.
I'm about ready to fart.
You push me, it's coming your way.
I'd like to hear it.
Put it in the microphone.
Do you think it could happen
try putting your knees by your ears and then ben you just get that that big soft bulb as close as
you can get to his anal opening put it closer put it closer i don't know if it's gonna happen
i don't think it's a big a big enough toot you just sharted it doesn't matter let's just let
me shit your pants for real or had a little bit of shit go in your pants i'll preface this by saying i don't remember for me so i can't so i'm not
trying to i don't want to make you say it and then you'd be like what about you and i'm like
oh i don't i don't remember yeah i don't have a good shitting my pants story uh yeah not recently
i have a i have a funny one where this was ages ago i was a young 20 man and i was in what what a 20 a 20 man i was like 21
and i was in this like i was in my my bedroom and it had like tiles it was like one of these
basement apartments horrible in toronto thomas is smiling a little bit now which makes me feel
like the story's about to get amazing no it's it really doesn't but i was like i was new to my
bedroom as is my life pretty much just nude scooting around
and i remember i had to like pick something up and i like popped down squatted to pick it up and
just like uncontrollably a little dollop of poop came out and like landed on the tile you had no
idea you had to poop that is a perfect situation you're completely naked onto tile yeah it's like
the easiest cleanup a surveillance camera would have resulted in somebody thinking
you did it on purpose.
Yeah, but I'm just sort of by myself in my room having a good time.
Like, oh, there it is.
Really? How big?
With your hand, show me how big.
Let the record show that he showed about two Butterfinger BBs.
No, this is like an acorn.
An acorn, like an acorn type shit.
And I just looked at it
and I just started laughing so then
i'm sitting there naked alone by myself laughing did you shit afterwards or no well i i thought to
myself tommy you gotta go to the bathroom what are you doing did you i'm sure i did but at that
point i was like fuck man i gotta now i gotta put clothes on go get some toilet paper bring it back
wipe it up that's living on your own for the first time you know living on your own you can't
you know what i do this is embarrassing it's sort of related to shitting my pants but more
controllable i drool a lot so i'm like sitting watching a youtube video on my computer picking
my nose and i will drool onto my own chest really i'm like what this is the lowest i can is your
mouth open when you do it like yeah i think so so. I'm like Homer looking at a cheeseburger.
I don't feel
it until it hits my chest.
I'm drooling on me.
How base is that?
What a monster.
Two-year-olds can not drool, and I'm
lower than that for that one second.
I guess my biggest
fault is that I'm too tidy.
I'm too neat.
I guess I care about work a little bit too much.
That's the one for interviews they always say.
What's your biggest default?
Did you ever hear that?
When you go on job interviews,
when they ask you what your biggest weakness is,
say that, I guess I'm too neat,
or I'm too on the nose and on time and stuff like that.
Right, and I say I drool on my chest.
Do you drool or shit?
I guess I shit, yeah. Really my chest. Do you drool or shit? I guess I do shit, yeah.
Really?
Really.
Disgusting.
I think I drool in my sleep.
I guess my thing is like, I feel like I always have boogers.
So sometimes when I laugh, I like go out my nose and I'll blow a booger.
You'll snort.
I do that like every...
You'll snot rock it.
Yeah, like by accident.
I do that more often than I think anyone.
Right.
I do it a lot.
I get a lot of earwax, so much so that sometimes they'll just be hanging out and I'll hear like,
and like a chunk will fall out of them.
Like a stalactite falling down.
Yes.
Yeah, like a chunk will just tumble out and it'll be on my shoulder.
I'll be like, oh, and then quickly wipe it away.
Let's do one more question.
We do have one more question.
Oh, we have two more questions. Quick note to let y'all know that we're conducting an audience survey at gum.fm slash segments.

Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring this episode of our show.
Hey-o, DraftKings.
The NFL is back. That's correct.
And the best part of football season is checking out the post-game stats. I want to know which
wideout scored more than two tutties, which QB threw for less than 350 yards. And if you think
you can pick who will do what before the kickoff, then you should play pick six from DraftKings,
which is an official daily fantasy partner of the NFL. Wow. So if you like watching football, and it sounds like you do. I do. Yeah,

of course. You're a fan of gambling in general. Yes yes and i do have an affinity for the silver and black
so if you like football as much as me which is not likely because i do know a lot like do you
know what a nickelback uh does in a cover two defense or like do you know what a play action
passes like these are like some advanced things that I know that you wouldn't necessarily know.
I basically know run and Hail Mary.
You actually know both of those?
Yeah, running is when you run,
and then Hail Mary is when you chuck it, right?

W-Y.
Yeah, Jeswin.
Hey guys, I got a summer job working in an office where I make some serious bank.
Here's the problem.
I'm from Canada and just recently turned 19, the legal drinking age.
I binge drink three to four nights a week and show up to work hungover a lot.
One day, it was so bad that I puked five times at work. I was able to hide it well
until my middle-aged coworker noticed and became worried.
To cover up being hungover,
I told her I might be allergic to something I ate,
and I thought that I might have food poisoning.
She said that she had read about young people
being allergic to milk in the newspaper that morning
and assumed that I was allergic to milk.
Still being drunk from the night before,
I was unable to think straight and just went along with it.
She told the whole office
and now everyone is convinced
that I have a severe milk allergy,
which I don't,
and that the reason I was puking is the milk.
Now everyone in the office keeps talking to me
about dairy-free food items
and I have to eat my yogurt in secret.
I'm not sure if I should just come clean
and admit I was hungover
or live a lie for the rest of my life.
Why?
It's just the theme song for every specific problem.
So this girl has a problem.
That's a girl?
Yeah.
You named her.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Jeswin is binge drinking?
Look at you.
Three to four nights a week.
You sexist. That can't be a girl.
Well, Jeswin, you got to get your... First, my first thought is you got to get... Oh, I just touched it. Did I fuck it up? Nope. You sexist. That can't be a girl. Well, Jeslyn, you gotta get your...
First, my first thought is...
You're just a kid. Oh, I just touched it. Did I fuck it up?
You gotta get your act together.
Yeah, you're a kid. You're just acting like a kid.
No, but also, look, alcoholism can start early.
So just watch out.
I'm serious. Be careful.
Right, I mean, binge drinking four nights a week...
It's too much.
Especially if she recognizes it as binge drinking.
That must mean it's a fucking ton.
Especially if you've got a nice job.
Because I feel like I binge drink
and I'm like, it's regular.
This is fine, this is fine.
And somebody else would be like,
no, you binge drink.
So she's like self-realizing
that it's binge drinking.
It's probably really bad.
Well, what's the solution to her problem right now?
Should she say that she's been binge drinking?
Wait, hold up.
She said that she was allergic to milk?
No.
She struck gold. She said she's allergic to milk. Now everybody thinks that she has a milk allergy and she's been binge drinking? Wait, hold up. She said that she was allergic to milk? No. She struck gold.
She said she's allergic to milk.
Now everybody thinks
that she has a milk allergy
and she's not an alcoholic.
This is much better.
She could say that
she's getting over her milk allergy.
But you should stop drinking
and getting hammered
when you come to work.
That's such a silly thing to do.
This isn't what I fucking asked about, Ben.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, we're teaching you a lesson,
a real lesson to make your life better.
Well, we've got to figure out, guys, what's our stance on the whole drinking issue?
Because are we going to allow her to get away with her lie,
or are we going to try and help her become a productive person in life?
Right.
I would say if you've got work, binge drinking, vomiting at work is never good.
If you're doing that multiple times a week, that's very bad.
That's terrible.
You can't have a steady job.
You're pretty anti-alcohol, though, right?
No, I'm not anti-alcohol at all.
But you don't...
It's a thing called motivation.
You can't be motivated when you've been drinking four nights a week.
That's insane.
I'm very turned off when I see someone very drunk.
Oh, yeah.
Crazy drunk girls are not attractive.
So she clearly has a drinking problem.
She should address that.
Take care of that issue first.
I get it.
You're young.
You want to party.
But, you know, just...
Be responsible.
It's not cool to be throwing up at work.
Ever.
And it's not fun for anybody.
I got to chime in here.
I'm acting like old man.
Like I told you so.
I've done it.
I've been a bad boy, too.
Right.
But for four nights in a row, like throwing up at work, that's too much.
That is too much.'s too much way too much
it sounds like it's a summer internship
so try exercising some responsibility
and then you can binge drink when you're back at work
you're 19 my god
let this comedy of errors
be a fun whimsical very easy lesson
for you to learn
as opposed to you waking up in a hospital paralyzed
being like I drank too much fell off a cliff oh they talk to this kind of no no i'm allergic to milk
it's not that yeah i'm not i just off a cliff oh is it illegal to drink milk and drive
so don't drink stop drinking is the well moderate your drinking you don't have to stop drinking
legal for her to drink it's okay Just don't Moderate your drinking
Don't have someone over
That you're puking at work
But continue the ruse of milk
Yeah I mean you struck gold
That's good
I would almost say
Oh I guess it's starting to wear off
Like something like that
Oh the allergy
Is starting to wear off
Well you can be lactose intolerant
And lose that
Lose that
That doesn't stick with you
Your whole life
Become more tolerant
You can become more tolerant
Of milk
You can be like
I think the side effects Are just wearing down or say you're taking lactate
also yeah also if it's a summer internship and she's about to leave in a little bit then
you could just get out of there yeah your life's not over yeah you have like by the time you hear
this your internship is probably over yeah i bet no also nobody in the office cares that you're
allergic to milk beyond that one day when they found out like i think you're fine yeah they're not gonna be like yogurt wait samantha you lied to us about yogurt jeswin jeswin
that wasn't a real name was it samantha was a real name oh my god i'm so sorry sammy you guessed it
uh last question now now last question Let's do it. We need one last male name.
My first name or last name?
Your first name now.
First name.
First name first.
Same as the firsts.
First name is going to be...
Ooh, I got it.
Libel.
Libel?
L-I-O-B-E-L.
Libel. Lionel, but with a b libel libel uh hey man it's me libel uh ream job
so close ream job here liable ream job rights hey guys the show. I'm about to graduate college and thus my GF and I have put an expiration date on our relationship.
Since we both know it's going to end, I was wondering,
on a scale of kill yourself at a Starbucks to hashtag dope, basically 1 to 10,
how acceptable is it for me to cheat on her now?
Don't cheat.
Thanks guys, you rock.
Sorry to be one of the asshole dude listeners.
Love, liable? Liable. If you don't mind, I. You rock. Sorry to be one of the asshole dude listeners. Love, liable, real job.
If you don't mind, I would say this.
If you know you're going to cheat on your girlfriend, get out of the relationship.
If you know you're going to break up with her, if you 100% know you're going to break up with her,
then just break up with her now.
I don't understand what you're doing.
Yeah, I agree.
Because here's the thing.
Tell me.
He may have that schnissy lined up. The which? I the schnissy schnissy on the side what is schnissy yo ream job loves his schnissy schnissy
on the side is like what he's asking about he's like yo essentially I got all this schnissy and
I want to know if I can hit it when I'm still with my lady hit the schnissy and all you have
to do is just go up to the lady be like hi he's ending college yeah that's what
he should he should just break up with her because like we're cash in on all this like hookups that
you could have now yeah just be like sweetheart unless you want to do an open relationship i
think maybe we should just if both of you have decided that it's over then it's kind of over
already no i agree and i think there's something that's so much more fun to hook up and have sex and not have it be
a terrible, ugly secret.
And have guilt. You do not
cheat on her. And then whatever your
relationship was is now tainted and tarnished
by this stupid thing you did to them
at the last fucking couple weeks.
You should be kind, and
if both of you guys agree, or if it's the other way
and are you staying together because there's that chance
that maybe by the time you get to the end of school you, you're going to be like, oh, you know what?
Maybe we should keep this going.
Maybe we move in.
But that's something different.
If you think the relationship has legs and you love this girl and she loves you or whatever it is.
But if you're literally asking, I'm going to cheat on this girl.
Are you guys cool with that?
I would say I'm not cool with that.
You should have a discussion with that woman.
By the way, maybe she has the same exact idea. Yeah exact idea yeah yeah oh you think that's why she put on
the expiration date i mean if there's an expert if you're with somebody you're like hey we're
gonna break up in a couple months just break up that second just break up immediately unless you
think staying together will keep you unless you feel like you're gonna get the thing you didn't
have or i've had a situation where it's like you know there's an expiration date so you're just gonna enjoy it while you can because you know that's
true but you're still gonna be like i'm just gonna enjoy it with this person because it's fun to be
it's fun to be in love and have this little relationship i guess i think you could just say
like i want to stay close to you like up until we graduate but i also want to like explore and do
things that i didn't get to do while we were in a relationship. Why don't we hang out a little bit? I think there's two decisions.
And it's open.
Yeah, boom.
I think exactly what Thomas said is correct.
There is joy in if you're like, you know what?
This is the last day.
Let's fucking blow it out.
Let's have fun.
Let's be in love.
It's that option.
Or if you really think you're going to want to have sex with someone else,
I mean, maybe your gut is telling that you want to,
but if you truly feel like you're going to hook up or have sex with somebody else and that's what you're inclined to do, then you 100% tell this woman who you just made a deal with, be like, you know what?
I'm having these thoughts.
I should get out of this because I don't want to hurt you.
And that would be right.
You should make the relationship good or your hookups.
That is exactly right.
You can't have both.
You can't be like, all right, we're in a relationship and I'm going to hook up because then your relationships suck and all of your hookups are ugly secrets.
The only way to be an asshole in this situation is if you cheated on your girlfriend.
So you're choosing to be an asshole if you do that.
Here's a question for people that have cheated.
Is it more exciting to hook up with a girl knowing you're in a relationship or is it worse?
Do you ask that question because you feel like it is?
I think it might be. What, that it's more of a rush if you hook up with someone you're going out with
someone yeah i would never i would be i've never done it and i would be so anxious i i cheated on
people all the time and there's never any you're doing it right now holy shit get off of me sucking
your nipple your bo nipple there's like no, there's nothing enjoyable about it at all.
When I, I was, or sorry, the enjoyable part was like penetration and coming.
But like, there was never, like the enjoyable part wasn't like,
she does, the enjoyable part wasn't like,
I'm getting away with it.
Yeah, this is, this is illicit.
Okay, this is an affair.
Like that was the worst part.
That was the only bad part. Yeah.
The most wild
runaround times has been not so much in relationships like hard relationships just
kind of like loose ambiguous ones and you don't feel guilt but when you're in a relationship and
you stray it's you know that's the thing that that's what you give up you give up this you
give up guilt you trade a sex for a guilt yeah and guilt doesn't
feel good at all it doesn't feel good especially when you know like that person totally trusted you
at that moment oh okay you're just hurting someone that you're pretending you care about yeah that
thing that you kind of honored up into that point is now gone irreversibly so right so i think as
soon as you're asking for permission to cheat on someone just break up with them that was a real
conversation we just had with no jokes yeah that never happens with the four of
us sincerely that was a real thing it was a little bit of sushi a little bit of sushi and now we're
all a little tired and we don't want to do bits anymore well we should explain there was no actual
cut in the episode see if you could find it we we did stop for a sushi dinner in the last 20 minutes
of the microphone broke the microphone, so we had to stop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we fixed it by me sitting next to Jake so close that he can smell me.
Yeah, and I'm just leaning away from you now.
It's really, it's pungent.
It really is.
I want to, I want to, we have to go soon, but I want to end.
I think the opening theme song was one of the highlights,
and I kind of want to do a closing theme song.
Sure.
I wish we could hear that.
Oh, yeah, well, we need Jakey to get his guitar.
Sorry, buddy, to make you get it again.
So how do the signing off themes,
is there anything specific?
No, no, no.
It's the same as the opening theme.
So it's anything.
I should say, yeah,
if you have your own theme song or question,
you can send it to ifireyoushow at gmail.com.
All right.
