This one was fun. It was our live
Starting point is 00:04:39 podcast in Los Angeles, California, recorded just two days ago. Amazing. This is borderline live. And online for you guys to enjoy right away. Things did get real, so let's get started. Put it together for Jake and Amir! Hey! Hey, everybody! All right.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Which one am I? Go off. Say it. I can take it as long as it's not the second one. You want to be the ampersand. I want to be the ampersand. I deserve it. Guys, welcome for...
Starting point is 00:05:27 Guys, hey, I'm going to go back out. We'll edit that part out. Thank you so much for coming. Let's give it up for you guys. Yeah. And let's give it up for us, Drake and a Queer. Namaste. Namaste. Namaste and toda, brother.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Why was this a good idea for you? Sorry, who did it? For those of you listening at home, I saw a poster. I took it on stage. I read it. I flipped it around in large letters. It reads,
Starting point is 00:06:07 Drake and a queer. Why was this good to you? Did you go out and buy poster boards specifically for this? Of course. He bought poster boards. Did you buy poster boards just to make fun of my friend?
Starting point is 00:06:25 Well, we don't know which one's which. So tread lightly. Why don't we ask the artist himself? It was funny at the time. I think it's funny now. The time is now. Evidently. Okay, so I want to know the origin story.
Starting point is 00:06:47 You said, or was it like you were falling asleep one night and you're like, I got it. I know it. I've got a rhyme. I have an idea of me. And it's to ride Drake and a queer on a poster and bring it to the show. When you walked in, did you have this on you?
Starting point is 00:07:06 And did they say, what does it say? No. They were just like, poster's fine. Get out of here. Yeah? Yeah, they get it. I feel like the more you hate this, the more it's going to show up.
Starting point is 00:07:22 What do you mean? You should just forget that it ever happened. I am forgotten about it. I just can't stop remembering. We'll put it face down. It's still present. Face down, you're putting it on the stage. There's only three things on stage,
Starting point is 00:07:40 me, you, and the poster. Your beard is absolutely incredible. Oh, my God. Is that a yeard? It's more than a yeard? Is it a dekeered? Close to a decaired? Jesus.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Even the mustache part? Really? God. Want to move in with us? Sick, dude. We have move in with us? Sick, dude. We have a beard with us. No touching it in a year? Over a year.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Not even to wash it? Definitely to wash it. Definitely to wash it. Yeah. You know. We'll come back to you. How's everybody else doing? Yeah. Otherwise. You know. You know. We'll come back to you. How's everybody else doing?
Starting point is 00:08:33 All right. Okay, back to you. I do have a lot of more questions. Oh, really? Sure, yeah. Go on. Decision to make it. Was it like, I'm going to shave and then not touch it for seven years? This is the same question we had for the artist.
Starting point is 00:08:50 We want to get in your head pre-decision. You woke up and you said a year of a beard. Yeah, well, more than that. Right, a decared. A decared, yeah. I had shaved my head. You had shaved your head. And my face.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And your face. You were bare. A blank canvas. I don't know if anybody cannot see this gentleman, but he has what would possibly... It's a foot, right? It's a foot-long beard. You can stand up and show the audience.
Starting point is 00:09:22 That's correct. Wow. Bow in reverence to the beard To the dekeered For he is bearded And you are not Oh my god, can I touch it? I hate that, I don't want to look at that
Starting point is 00:09:36 It's real I wouldn't fake it This hand is anointed It's also wet for some reason I wouldn't fake it. This hand is anointed. It's also wet for some reason. To be fair, it was wet before I touched it. And it's drier now, which makes sense. Gracias.
Starting point is 00:09:56 It is a dry, dry beard. Should we sit down? I'm ready. Guys, thanks so much for coming out. This is our fourth live podcast here. Fifth live podcast. Maybe. Who here has been to a live podcast before?
Starting point is 00:10:18 Solid. Who here has not ever been to a live podcast? Even solider. Who here doesn't even know who the fuck we are? This girl says the guy who's more drunk than she is. She's about to have such a bad night.
Starting point is 00:10:36 This is all inside jokes. Watch this. Seize the cheese. Right over her head. To be honest, it's a little bit over my head, too. Sure, yeah, yeah. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Let's slow down a little bit, partner. It's a long night. And it's only 8.20 p.m. Is it? What time is it? Can we get a time check? 8.22. 8.22? Can we get a Clippers score check?
Starting point is 00:11:02 Actually, same thing. 8 to 22. Really? Amazing, right? So how it works is we get a Clippers score check? Actually, same thing. 8 to 22. Really? Amazing, right? So how it works is we get questions from people who are in sticky situations, difficult places in their lives, and they're seeking our advice for some odd reason. Jake and I do our best to offer it. Sometimes it's just us hanging out.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Jake's possibly shirtless, definitely touching himself. I often do that. With this hand, Mr. Beard Man. All right. You can hire someone. To you, my roommate. You can have a right-hand man who will take care of that for you. Cheers and toadah to you.
Starting point is 00:11:38 If anybody else is drinking out there, please raise them up. Toadah. Raise them up. Raise them up. Yeah. That poster is accurate. I am like Drake. So we, is there anything
Starting point is 00:11:57 I haven't mentioned yet? I wasn't listening to you talking at all. You actually just woke up 30 seconds ago. Oh, shit. There's a lot of people here. Yeah, we, oh, you said I touch myself. Yes Oh, shit, there's a lot of people here. Yeah, we...
Starting point is 00:12:06 Oh, you said I touch myself. Yes, you're a squeezer, I would say. Uh, yeah. Is it like that's the closest you can get away with masturbating in front of people? Wow, interesting. I don't feel like it's erotic when I touch myself. It's just that's where...
Starting point is 00:12:24 It's like you can't control it. I think my penis is where my power comes from. So I'm often just sort of like a genie lamp. Yeah. Except that's not a genie coming out. Is it not? Although I thought I did hear Robin Williams in a sock you threw away in the hamper earlier today. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Rami got it. All right, Pete. So should we get started? Should we start answering some questions? We do have a lot of people we need to help out today. Yeah, are you guys ready to start answering some questions? All right, let's do it. So in my phone is a note file with real questions from real people.
Starting point is 00:13:06 We're going to give them fake names to preserve their anonymity. If you guys can help us out by shouting out fake names. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Everybody be totally silent. I do like to do that. Vladi? What did you say? Hadi?
Starting point is 00:13:27 H-A-D-I? Is that your name? Got it. He's such a big fan that he didn't come. Wow. Wow. I don't want to put him on a blast. He's actually in a hospital in San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:13:43 He's actually at a funeral. He's actually at a funeral. But is hospital in San Francisco. He's actually at a funeral. He's actually at a funeral. But is it in San Francisco? Oh my God, you asshole. Who died though? No, no. Don't answer that. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Don't answer that. You can never ask a follow-up question to he's at a funeral. It was his mother. All right, but were they close? They were, yeah. Did she raise him Fuck me But had she been sick for a while
Starting point is 00:14:08 Nope sudden God damn it But the last thing he said to her Was probably nice and positive It was come to my funeral please What the fuck Yeah He said that to her
Starting point is 00:14:21 Weird right I didn't mishear you That's what he said Alright so this is coming from Hottie Straight from his funeral in San Francisco Hottie writes Hottie with a built in body I've backed myself into somewhat of a corner
Starting point is 00:14:37 When I have a one night stand I usually try to wake up And sneak out unnoticed While I'm at the girls place If it goes according to planned stand, I usually try to wake up and sneak out unnoticed while I'm at the girl's place. If it goes according to plan, and it's some random girl, my calling card is making a huge mess in her kitchen and bouncing. This particular time, I cut a slit in a bag of flour and threw it in the air,
Starting point is 00:15:09 getting it just everywhere. Then I left. Cut to one night later. My house gets egged. Then again the next night. It's happened five nights in a row. And I know it's this girl getting revenge. And my girlfriend wants to call the police.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I need some advice on how to get this femme fatale to stop egging my fucking house like a child. Love, Hadi. Let's give it up for Hadi. Hadi. What are your thoughts on his calling card? Yeah, interesting that he has a calling card. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Is that different than a business card? Or is that what a business card used to be called? Well, it's sort of similar because you want to be remembered when you hand than a business card? Or is that what a business card used to be called? Well, it's sort of similar because you want to be remembered when you hand somebody your business card. Yeah. So he wants to be remembered as the guy who destroyed a kitchen. Of course. So he'll slit a bag of flour and just sort of throw it around willy-nilly. I was trying to think of a name for him and I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Like the kitchen culprit is a bad example of him. With two Ks. I also had pussy pantry, but then I couldn't think of another P word. Okay, why does there have to be three, though? Well, because, like, pussy is what he got,
Starting point is 00:16:30 pantry is where he was, and what kind of guy is he that he did it that starts with a P? Pansy. He's not really a pansy. He's kind of cool. What did you say?
Starting point is 00:16:39 Pussy? Oh, he's sort of a pussy, but he's also kind of, like, an anti-hero. Prick! Phantom! Prick. Phantom. Prick is good.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Pussy pantry prick? Pussy pantry prick. Phantom. Pilferer is good. I heard pilferer. Come on, no idea is bad. No idea is bad except for his when he destroyed somebody's kitchen. Phantom.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Phantom, but it sort of has to alliterate. Like, Phantom, sure, yeah, it actually starts with a... Hey, hey, hey, it's 10.15. We really have to go. Not yet, man. We're gonna fucking get it. You have a whiteboard? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:17:15 300 crossed out words. Riding on the back of the Drake and a queer. Prankster! That's good. Where are you, you glorious human being? Did you say prankster? Whoa, she also has a huge beard. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Everybody here that's wise has one. You retroactively called him wise. You are a sage gentleman. To be sure. Wait, so where were we? He cheated on his girlfriend and destroyed somebody's kitchen, and he wants to know how to get somebody to stop egging his house. How would you get someone to stop egging your house?
Starting point is 00:17:51 Keep in mind, he's already damaged her kitchen, so he can't go back in time and do that. What do eggs and flour make? Pancakes! You have to pancake her! Oh, my God! It's the only way What does that mean though?
Starting point is 00:18:08 To be pancaked? Yeah I can't believe his girlfriend wants to call the police And he's like no no it's probably nothing Let's give it five more days Because on the bright side Free eggs That is true Using a spatula Getting it right into a pan because on the bright side, free eggs.
Starting point is 00:18:25 That is true. Using a spatula, getting it right into a pan. To make pancakes. He's an optimist of himself. So what do you suggest he does to stop this, a woman who he calls a femme fatale from childishly egging his house after he left her kitchen just covered in flour, which is the hardest thing to clean, I would guess.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Maybe quinoa, a bag of quinoa seems difficult. I think flour is harder. I don't know. Have you ever had a bag of dry quinoa? When you get flour wet, it just gets kind of sticky, right? That's true, but quinoa is very small. I can't stress how little it is. I feel like everybody here has seen quinoa,
Starting point is 00:19:03 so you don't have to. I just don't know. I fear you guys everybody here has seen quinoa, so you don't have to. I just don't know. I fear you guys are thinking of cooked quinoa. And I'm referring to the dry, even smaller quinoa. Would you say, I think he's got to
Starting point is 00:19:17 live this life that he has. He lives the life he deserves. That's true. Stressed. He's... Yeah, so he has to just accept that his house is going to get egged for a little while. And what joy does he get out of destroying kitchens?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Because maybe he needs to explore that and change. Maybe he could think of a new calling card. Like being really, really nice to someone. Yeah, cleaning someone's kitchen. Or my calling card would be not cheating on my girlfriend oh that's a great trademark that's kind of like a thing that I'm known for yeah
Starting point is 00:19:50 or just destroy your own kitchen that'll write the universe and she'll stop egging your house so yeah you do that to your own kitchen and you say, I thought I was being nice.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I like flour because it's soft. And I wanted you to walk into the kitchen and not have your feet hurt. Why are you giggling? This is perfect. Do your feet hurt or not,
Starting point is 00:20:23 woman? I don't know. This guy sucks. Yeah. You have to basically decide what's worse, the eggs or the convincing. What is it called when you confess? The confession. What is it called when you found the word and then asked what it was?
Starting point is 00:20:40 I feel stressed. Wait. Down. All right. That's it. We don't have anything else to say to this guy. He's a meanie. Down. All right. That's it. We don't have anything else to say to this guy. He's a meanie. Live with your life.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Eggs is probably the least amount of your concerns. Right, yeah. You deserve to be thrown in jail. Have you ever egged a house? Have I ever egged a house? No. That took way too long. I really didn't.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It's really mean to egg a house. It's hard to clean off. Is it? I think. Okay. It's really mean to egg a house. It's hard to clean off. Is it? I think. Okay. It ruins the paint, right, Hottie? Once again, Hottie's at a funeral. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:12 This is her friend who all of the people she knows is alive. We are so sorry for your loss. Yeah. All right. Let's read Help Out Another Person. We need another guy's name. I can't hear anything. help out another person. We need another guy's name. I can't hear anything.
Starting point is 00:21:32 What did you say? You, sir. Yeah, with the plaid. You have your hands cupped over your mouth. You were yelling. Huh? Campton? I think he's saying Hampton. Hampton or Campton?
Starting point is 00:21:47 You were screaming at the top of your lungs, and now you don't want to tell me. What is it? Hampton? No, get out. I'm just kidding. Hampton's perfect. It's Hampton.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's like you telling me what my child will be named. Hampton's perfect. It's Hampton. Why did you ask a random person? I don't know. All right. Yeah, Hampton's perfect. It's Hampton. Why did you ask a random person? I don't know. Yeah, Hampton. Hampton writes. For the past month, I've been talking to this girl pretty heavily.
Starting point is 00:22:13 We've met once in person, but we text every day and we FaceTime each other all the time. I'm in love with her. No, you're not. Go on. And she feels the same way about me. But we're not exactly dating yet. The problem is, she doesn't really open up to me like ever,
Starting point is 00:22:33 and she gets mad over little things. We have useless arguments with each other over the stupidest shit, and we'll ignore each other for a little bit. The relationship is ultimately destructive. But we... Maybe he is in love. The relationship is ultimately destructive,
Starting point is 00:22:51 but we love each other, and we keep it going. Recently, though, I started talking to this other girl I met on Instagram. And we started talking when I tweeted a song lyric of an artist we both like, and she favorited it.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Then we went from there. We started talking, and she is amazing. She's basically everything that my girl now isn't. We listen to the same music, watch the same shows like The Office, and I think we're a perfect match for each other. The other problem is she's moving away in August to California, and I live in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:23:31 So I'll barely ever... That's her. So I'll barely ever get to see her. I'm not sure if I should end things with my girl now or go for the girl I just started talking to, who could possibly be the one, or should I just stay with my girl now or go for the girl I just started talking to who could possibly be the one or should I just stay with my current girl again
Starting point is 00:23:49 I will barely get to see her but I'm way better off with her than with who I am right now help me navigate out of this Bermuda love triangle thanks love Hampton alright Navigate out of this Bermuda love triangle. Thanks, Love Hampton. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:10 One more time for Hampton. Give it up. This is a sticky love triangle. Indeed. Yes. Not necessarily a triangle. It's more like a parenthesis. There's three nodes,
Starting point is 00:24:28 but the last one doesn't connect. What is the one that's a parenthesis that's a carrot? God, I fell asleep for a second. Follow me here. Is it a carrot? What is it called when a parenthesis has a sharp angle at the tip of it? A bracket? No, that's a rectangular parenthesis. Is it like a greater than
Starting point is 00:24:44 or less than? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what he said. He rectangular parenthesis greater than or less than yeah yeah yeah that's what he said he's in a greater than although it sounds like he's in a less than and what he should do is yeah and what he should do is make it a less than or equal to right yeah which is when you stand next to another couple that doesn't know you. I'm surprised that many people were able to visualize that. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. So he is in love with this girl who makes him miserable to start.
Starting point is 00:25:19 That he's met once. That he's met one time. And that's good to him. That's clever for himself. He feels like that's a win. That's a positive in his life. That he's met one time, and that's good to him. That's clever for himself. He feels like that's a win, that's a positive in his life. That's a plus. Because they don't get along, they are mad at each other, it's ultimately destructive, but he's seen her one time.
Starting point is 00:25:35 But when you're in love, you know, and when you know, you know. Well, the other thing is that he met somebody on Instagram through tweeting at them. Yeah, what's up with that, Hampton? It sounds like he doesn't... He wants to know what love is. He wants somebody to show him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:59 He wants to know what love is. I wish I knew the rest of that song. So do I, but you should listen to that. It's Bill Collins, right? Of course it's not Bill Collins I was kidding Whitney Houston? Of course it's not Whitney Houston He was kidding
Starting point is 00:26:15 I wanna know what love is It's definitely a woman I want you to show me Foreigner No, he's definitely American. Maybe it was Phil Collins. I'm kidding. I don't even know what to tell this guy, though.
Starting point is 00:26:34 He... How do you meet someone on Instagram? Because I have an Instagram, and I've never met someone on... I could meet someone on Instagram. Ah, nice, dude. Ah. Ah. I did lick your hand I guess you can meet someone on anything
Starting point is 00:26:53 Can you meet someone on Yelp? You fucked your Uber driver On the way here On the way over here I blew the Uber driver You got road domed from him As he was driving. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Insane. Yeah, and worst part is, I gave him three stars. Wow. Yeah. Three stars is definitely the least given rating, right? Three stars? Yeah, it's either great or bad. But how often are you like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:27:23 That was pretty all right. Yeah. It's grade A average. Yeah, I'll give great or bad. How often are you like, you know what, that was pretty alright. It's grade A average. Yeah, I'll give him a C. Period. C period. C period run. Run period.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Holy shit. A, B, C. D, E, F, and G. It's the alphabet. Don't get wet. Please stay dry as I recite all the letters to your eyes. It's Jake and Aguirre. Jake and Aguirre. I want people who missed that part in the beginning
Starting point is 00:28:05 to be like, holy shit, why was that a thing? When did Jake make that? I did it. What a mean thing. So malicious. Just lying on the floor in my room at home, coloring it in. I'm knocking on the door.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Did one person color it all in? You had to have bought a marker. You had to have bought a marker. You had to have bought a poster. They might have had a Sharpie. They could have had a Sharpie. Did you all have a Sharpie? You bought everything. There's a tag on the...
Starting point is 00:28:36 I want to know how much they paid for that poster. Can you see that? 97 cents. It's actually pretty worth it. It's a real good price I don't begrudge the price So this guy's not actually in love with anybody Because he says I'm in love with this girl
Starting point is 00:28:51 So I can't break up with her But this other girl might be the one So if you think somebody else is the one Then you're not in love with the first girl And also if you think that somebody is the one That you just found Then she's not the one So you're not in love with anybody
Starting point is 00:29:04 The end. Cheers! Holy shit. That was absurd. What was that? The end? Yeah, I didn't breathe, but let's go. Alright, on to the next. One more time for Hampton. We need a what? Chill, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:28 We got somewhere to go. We need a what? Sorry, you just... Take off your hat. Show some respect. Oh my God, you're bald. Respect the master. Kiss my ring, bitch.
Starting point is 00:29:52 That's your pinky, asshole. The master has a request. Kiss the master's ring. His ring finger or the ring on your pinky? Which, by the way, is pretty weird that you have one. Deserved to be kissed. I had to do it myself. Didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Didn't do it. All right. The master. I am the master. Come on. All right. We need a guy's name. Barnaby.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Maud. Maud. Barnaby. Maud. Barnaby! Maud! Maud! Barnaby! Maud! Barnaby! Barnaby! Barnaby! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Enough. Barnaby! Hey, you have your hand up. That's nice and polite. What is it? What do you say? What? Benda. Benda? Yeah, like E-N-D-A. Is that somebody? What do you say? What?
Starting point is 00:30:45 Benda? Is that somebody's name that you know? Really? Also at a funeral. Same dude. Hottie's friend. Benda and Hottie both had someone die in their life. He's in Kansas City? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Oh, that's like just as depressing as being at a funeral. I'd rather go to a funeral. Guys, if you're listening at home from Kansas City, obviously I'm joking. We've got a show in Kansas City tomorrow. Not anymore. Where we'll be making fun of Los Angeles. Benda writes,
Starting point is 00:31:18 I'm a senior in high school. In a few months, I will be going to college. Straight up, I absolutely loathe the taste of mint. Everyone shut the fuck up. This is important. Not sure why. Maybe it's because I don't have a sense of smell, but if something
Starting point is 00:31:39 even kind of minty happens, it burns my mouth and makes me gag and want to puke. The toothpaste I currently use is a very mild mint. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Read that. People were fucking laughing. Shut up. What kind of toothpaste does he currently use? A very mild mint. Okay. And it's only found at his local dentist's office, which he won't have access to when he leaves for home. When he leaves home. I looked around for other mild mint toothpaste but none of them suit my
Starting point is 00:32:09 toothbrushing needs. Is it bitchly of me to use a children's toothpaste? There are no adult berry toothpastes. It's either harsh mint or some kind of weird lime shit. I don't want to get put on blast in college for having Buzz Lightyear on my toothpaste bottle.
Starting point is 00:32:29 But I don't want to have to mentally pump myself up every time I need to brush my teeth either. You can see the predicament I'm in. Please help. Yours truly, Benda. Props to you for remembering everybody's name all the time that was the first time you've ever complimented me that's correct that's also the first time you ever thanked me thank you very much kiss the ring man kiss the ring of the master it should be an honor for you tell you what i'll put my finger right here he did not kiss it don't cheer It should be an honor for you. Tell you what, I'll put my finger right here.
Starting point is 00:33:08 He did not kiss her. Don't cheer. Tell you what, I'll put it right here. Jesus. That was a kiss. That was the first time you ever kissed me, man. Actually, that's not true. Sorry. No, we's not true. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Now we have kissed on the lips more than once. Alright. Yeah. It was for a video. A gay video. Porn video that we shot. That was never released. So you had something to say about this question because I... I'm the same way. Amir doesn't like the taste of
Starting point is 00:33:44 mint. So much so that I want to He's never had a tic-tac. He rarely chews gum. I never chew gum. You've never chewed gum. I never chew gum. Have you ever chewed gum? I've never chewed gum. He's never chewed gum! Yeah. For whatever reason, we're so obsessed with mint as
Starting point is 00:34:01 the most refreshing thing. You actually can't find, like he said, this is coming from me. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't find a non-mint toothpaste. As a society we stress flavors and options and everything. Cereals are this.
Starting point is 00:34:18 There's nine types of Cheerios and only one type of toothpaste. This is Amir's very poorly attended one-man show. So, I mean, go ahead. Personally, I would, I think you could order non-mint toothpaste on Amazon. It is all children's.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I know this because I went home the other day. My nieces were there. They had a strawberry Colgate and it was incredible. It tasted like I was brushing my teeth with fruit punch. That's what I want always.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Unfortunately, the packaging is pink. There's a giant animatronic strawberry on it. It says, good for kids four and up. It says you can swallow it, which I would because it tastes so good. Does that clean your teeth the same way? It doesn't. I feel like you make toothpaste for children
Starting point is 00:35:09 and they have baby teeth that are going to fall out anyway. So borderline doesn't matter. Yeah, they're like rubbing their gums, swallowing the shit. It is borderline Kool-Aid. Also, I heard from a dentist one time that... I heard from a dentist one time. Don't make fun of me, man.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Wait until he tells you twice before bringing it to the group. I was so uninterested in this question. Now I'm like fucking invested. I want to solve it. This dentist told me that it really doesn't matter that much about the toothpaste. It's more about the brushing and the bristles. You can brush your teeth with water
Starting point is 00:35:45 and that's, you know, not great, but it's definitely fine. Teeth falling out? I swear. It's totally good. So what would you do if you were him,
Starting point is 00:35:56 real quick? Jeez Louise, man. I think I would go on Amazon and just get a child's toothpaste or... No, you get the Arm & Hammer, like the baking soda
Starting point is 00:36:04 that doesn't taste like anything. You brush your teeth with baking soda, right? He's got baking soda. Baking soda. I got baking... That's what that song's about. You think it's about toothpaste? And when he says he's in love with the cocoa... He's talking about the Colgate. Colgate. Oh! Yeah. That was good.
Starting point is 00:36:22 That deserved the laugh that my other thing got. If we can transfer the laughter... We can in post. I would and I have just suck it up and get used to the mint. You do get used to the mint. Yeah, you use my toothpaste now. That's enough. I did say everything I wanted to, so sure.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Let me cut you off right there I was finished cease done enough absolutely it's over one more thing
Starting point is 00:36:55 no no that's it right yeah yeah suck it up sure yeah I feel like I haven't turned over this Have you looked at all these guys?
Starting point is 00:37:10 I've only looked over here This guy is the most handsome dude I've ever seen You look like a model and a lumberjack The best two things you can be Like the brawny man Are you related to you two? Your brothers? Are you the older brother?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Congrats. But not the older. Oh, there's an older, hotter brother. Three brothers? Each one hotter than the last. What's the oldest, hottest brother's name? Steven. Oh, that's such a cool, hot, old name.
Starting point is 00:37:44 What's your name? Greg? Greg that's such a cool, hot, old name. What's your name? Greg? Greg is also cool and hot. Whoa, it's Steven, Greg, and Kremlin. Oh, my God. Kremlin? I'm sorry, you said it was what?
Starting point is 00:37:59 Spencer. Do you? Sweet, man. It must suck. I mean, I guess you would know to have a younger, hotter brother. Yeah, my brother's better looking than I am physically,
Starting point is 00:38:14 but I'm taller. But, like, you're taller, right? And, like, your face is better. No offense. Of course offense taken. I'm saying. No offense. Of course offense taken. I'm saying. No offense. It's all offense. All of that was offense.
Starting point is 00:38:30 No, it's a compliment to Steven, who's an angel, and I'm not trying to offend Spencer, who's a troll. You are. You've called him. First of all, I take offense to your fence and offense to your troll. Sorry. Regardless, let's forget about Spencer the way every woman in the world should.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And we'll only talk about Steven. Who is? He's a runway model meets a bridge worker or something. Wow. Yeah, you look sensitive and strong. Like you could kill someone if you had to, but you wouldn't want to. That's the last thing you'd want to do.
Starting point is 00:39:03 That's part of a Spencer thing to do. Spencer, haven't you accidentally killed a few people? This is Mufasa and Scar. Alright, let's move on. But we're going to hang out after the show. I'm so sorry. You're also hot. You don't get to do that.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I'm sorry. You're also hot. Anyway. No, you're cute. You're cute. You're cute. Even though. Should we take our break now?
Starting point is 00:39:41 It is sort of the halfway-ish point. All right, let's take a break. Let's relax a little bit. What should we talk about? I hate to keep... During our breaks, Jake usually talks about his virginity story, which is somewhat of
Starting point is 00:39:58 an urban legend. An old, or I should say new wives tale, because it happened not too long ago, but... You guys are great, by the way. Thank you. Yeah, wow. This is the best crowd we've ever had at the Hollywood Imp. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah! I have not said that to every single crowd. You have, but every time you've meant it. It's true. Hey, have you been to the show before, Steph? Are you talking to Steve or Spencer? I'm calling him Steph now because we're sort of close. Do you spell it S-T-E-P-H-E-N?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Oh my god, he spells it the cool way. With a V? As in I'd like to lose my V? To V? Can't you see? Oh. Shit, do I know how to sing? You actually don't.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Okay. I have perfect pitch. Call out a note. C. C. Can I find it? No. Call out another one.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Wait, we don't even know if you're getting it right. Sounded a lot like C. A sounds a lot like C. Oh. Awful. Oh, no. You sound like Wally dying. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Is it possible to sing something that's not a note? That's actually the beginning of a beautiful song. Is it possible to sing something that's not a note? Or it has to be a note? That's actually the beginning of a beautiful song. Is it possible to sing something that's not a note? Is it possible to sing lyrics that haven't been wrote? Is it possible to swing to a castle through a moat. Now I'm very cold so I put on a jacket. Motherfucker!

Starting point is 00:46:25 Gun. Let's do gun. We need a... She just wants us to make a speech. We need a name. Gun is a good name. Gun. Gun? Gun is the name. Tommy Gun.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Crandus? Crandus, I do love you. We're gonna do it. Crandus. Crandus writes. The key to my heart. Let's do it. Here's the sitch. I'm a 19-year-old dude, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm an alpha
Starting point is 00:46:59 male, and what goes with being an alpha male? Gun ownership. The only problem is I'm still living with my mom in her spare room. Start again and read this in the accent that it deserves. I'm a 19-year-old dude. I'm not going to lie. I'm an alpha male.
Starting point is 00:47:16 And what goes with being an alpha male? Gun ownership. Only problem is I'm still living in my mom's spare room And the prissy bitch says I can't have one She says she doesn't trust me Because she Because I crashed her car
Starting point is 00:47:36 I did He didn't write that, did he? He did. How can I convince my killjoy mom to let me have a gun? And when I get it, how can I use it to get a girl? Love, Crandis. Crandis. He's in a sticky situation.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Is there any... I mean, he shouldn't have a gun. The problem is he's still living with his mom. And when you live with your mom, you gotta do the mommy rules. Whatever she says goes, unfortunately. Not to mention that he is filled with rage. Yeah. Like, he's a pussy bitch of a mom,
Starting point is 00:48:28 doesn't want him to have a... He calls her a killjoy. He used the word kill, and then he wants a gun. I think you should... Like, if you write... Yeah, no, you don't get a gun. Oh, this is you?
Starting point is 00:48:41 This is you at Walmart telling him so? I would like to be a gun judge. A gun judge. You don't get a gun. Would you ever say you do get a gun? No. It seems like he can't have it both ways, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:48:57 When you live with your parents and you can't afford to live by yourself, you don't get to make up the rules. Especially when the rules include buying things that murder other things. That's like a huge no-no. The sad thing is, if he just got the gun, then he would make up the rules. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:49:13 You don't think he doesn't have to ask his mommy for permission? Not once he has the gun. Once you got a gun, who do you ask for permission? Holy shit, you've changed your... The gun's a permission slip. Oh my God, I've had too much. It's frontier whiskey.

That doesn't happen like that happens. No, it doesn't, right? Why do you say a right question mark after that? It doesn't happen like that, right?
Starting point is 00:51:02 Are you asking me or are you telling me that two guys cannot have a genetic child? Two dudes can't happen like that, right? Are you asking me or are you telling me that two guys cannot have a genetic child? Two dudes can't have a kid, obviously. And you agree? I feel like
Starting point is 00:51:13 I don't have to agree. It is public knowledge. It is common sense that they cannot make child with one another. No.
Starting point is 00:51:22 No way. No chance in fucking hell. No way. No chance in fucking hell. No matter, even if you had, maybe there's an amount of money that you can have that'll get shit done, just because science can pull shit off that you didn't think possible, maybe.
Starting point is 00:51:37 But no. Alright. Last question? Yes, please. Guy named Gunn writes, I'm a senior in high school and a virgin. This is most likely due to the fact that I'm antisocial. Yes. I've had a few girlfriends throughout high school,
Starting point is 00:51:55 but nothing too serious. Most kids party a lot, but I don't. I spend a lot of time training, and now that I've received my scholarship, I want to start being a part of the scene part of that scene what would I give is there a way to become part of the party scene even though everyone has already had even though everyone already has their squad is the best way to have sex to find a girlfriend or a random drunk chick. Help! Love gun.

Honestly, it means the world to me that you think I'm cool now. Sure, I'm not trying to make fun of him. I really am not. Honestly, it means the world to me that you think I'm cool now. Sure, I'm wearing a shirt that Marty purchased for himself and I borrowed.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Shoes that another friend recommended. Socks that yet another friend told me to wear. You chose the glasses on your own. No, my mommy did. Can I be part of your squad? When did not having sex in high school become bad? I feel like that was average back in the day.
Starting point is 00:53:52 What's average? Average is sex in high school or no? Who here had sex in high school? Okay, so who here didn't have sex in high school? Well, this crowd doesn't count. They listen to podcasts. You guys are all fans of podcasts. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:21 I mean, I was like... I got fake cool in high school. You know what I did? It was in middle school. I had a I was like, I got fake cool in high school. You know what I did? It was in middle school. I had a condom in my wallet. Of course I never used it. But my friends found out that I had a condom, and they thought maybe I had sex.
Starting point is 00:54:34 So, oh, start lying. That's how I'm cool now. So you buy a condom, and then people are like, wait, you use a condom? Not this one, but I might. Do they ever put the pieces together? It's like, wait, if he used a condom, he wouldn't actually have one on him. He wouldn't have a condom.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Yeah, that's fair. They never go there, do they? No, maybe not. I don't know. Let me think about it for one second. We have all the time in the world. Can I ask Steven? Oh, he definitely got laid in high school, right?
Starting point is 00:55:08 I haven't turned around, but I think he's having sex right now. Yeah, well, the girl's sitting on his lap, but it seems like they're fucking. Wow, cool. I'm going to turn around and look at him, right? Three, two, one. He's blowing Spencer. My advice is nerds or uncool or virgins, as they were in high school. Nerds or uncools or virgins?
Starting point is 00:55:36 In high school. Okay. Get cooler over time. So, if you're a... You can only be a cool for 10 years If you're a cool At 16 Your cup runneth over
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah, your time runneth out You're not cool anymore by the time you're 26 So you're saying his time in the sun Is coming I'm saying coolness is a normal Distribution, a bell curve Christ you're saying
Starting point is 00:56:08 you think you're cool right now talking about bell curves I think I'm two standard deviations away from the apex I fear I'm already coming off of it I fear I'm in the 95th percentile of my time on cool earth. For you can only be cool for so long. What I'm telling this guy is it has to get better. It can't get worse.
Starting point is 00:56:33 You're plateauing. You're starting to become like a cool. You don't want to become cool in high school, I don't think. You don't want to peak right now. Yeah, I think when's the best time to peak? In your 30s. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right, nobody.
Starting point is 00:56:47 You're right. Where would you say you are right now? I am on a minor descent. But you have to understand that I peaked so high. You burned so bright. Yeah. You felt so wrong. It felt so right.
