If I were you, an advice pod, finally, I'll get my problems solved.
I started writing in, but much to my chagrin, they just started roasting me. Oh yeah, very nice. You like that? I were you. Oh, yeah. Very nice.
You like that?
I loved that.
That's actually,
yeah, that's Blink-182.
It's an acoustic cover of What's My Age Again.
Yeah.
I'm like very into
sort of like
an emotional acoustic cover
of a pop punk song.
That's like,
that's definitely up my alley.
Have they done that before?
Has like,
is there like an official Mark Hoppus acoustic cover of that song?
Yeah, there was an acoustic album or something,
or secret acoustic songs on one of their albums.
But I don't know if they did an acoustic dammit that I remember,
like a really mellow acoustic dammit that
would be awesome maybe they have done it i'll look it up online when i saw them live they said
what's my age again and then at the end they say where's my asian friend was that like a common
joke that they did in live shows or did i just catch lightning in a bottle i think they that
was a common one at the live show like Like, if you listen to the Mark,
Tom, and Travis show, which is their live album, he says, where's my Asian friend?
Well, this actually might have been written by an Asian friend of ours. It's a day-oner shouting
out from the 2018 Vancouver live show. Oh, hell yeah. He said he tried to find us afterwards,
but his date wanted to leave i can't
imagine why yeah maybe it was my virginity story uh nothing really to plug but if you two can follow
me on instagram venite on the beat that's v-i-n-e-e-t wow um are you gonna follow him on
instagram uh i mean it feels like that's a lot more to ask than plugging his band camp or SoundCloud.
Yeah, I've done that a couple times. Like, fans are like, follow me. And I'm like, all right,
I'll follow a fan. Like, I did a Instagram Live the other day, and somebody asked if I would
follow him. So I followed him. And now I just like occasionally see a photo of a stranger in my feed.
It's not that bad, but it's, you know know literally the least i can do i guess yeah but it's sort of
like a lot it's kind of like it'll be a part of your a small a small dickling part of your life
forever yeah it's part of my brain when we were in adelaide do you remember that it was like
this really sweet young kid uh had like should not have been at our show. He was like 12 years old.
Yeah.
And he like participated in some kind,
I don't know, it was in Adelaide.
He was part of the show.
We used his name.
I think we maybe did trivia when we were there that time with Streeter.
I'm not exactly sure what the deal was.
But anyway, he came on stage, I think.
And I was like, I want to see you grow up.
And I followed him on Instagram. And I still see his stories and stuff.
What's his name? Is it Brady or something?
Walter. Shout out to Walter. I think he still listens. I hope he does. Otherwise,
it's real weird that I follow him on Instagram still.
Yeah, I see on the story, you're DMing him a lot too. I wonder what... Yeah, I shouldn't have said that he was 12. He's old now that I follow him on Instagram still. Yeah, I see on the story you're DMing him a lot too.
I wonder what happened.
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that he was 12.
He's old now.
I mean, Christ.
I see you're, I'm following your close friend's story on Instagram,
and it's really just me and Walter who can view it, I guess.
How do you, you shouldn't be able to see that.
Yeah, I guess that's a bug in the system, I guess.
I don't know why me and Walter are just weighing in on your close friend's story.
Let's start the show.
Let's start the show before I get very uncomfortable.
Actually, speaking of your story, I wanted to ask you something about your Instagram story.
Yesterday, you posted a picture of yourself biking through Manhattan,
and there's like empty streets, including specifically an empty street in the West Village.
Right.
Two hours later, I see a viral hit on the internet,
which is a photo of a park in the West Village
that is literally overflowing with New Yorkers
hanging out, not wearing a mask at all.
Yeah, yeah.
So did you see that park?
And were the streets empty
because everybody was at that one park?
Yeah, well, I think basically the parks are super crowded because people are needing to stay at home, but it's incredibly nice and it's hard to stay in your house.
And people are like, oh, we're allowed to go on a walk.
Oh, the parks are open as long as you maintain social distance.
And then next thing you know, you're sort of in there.
It's getting really crowded.
And then you see people, real assholes, not wearing the mask.
So the parks are really crowded.
But the streets, I think because businesses are closed and maybe because people are, I mean, not very many New Yorkers have cars.
So the streets were empty.
Yeah.
But did you see that park?
No.
But we drove, we rode our bikes
like up the west side highway for a while so i was also like near like the highline park and like
those parks in the west side highway and those were super crowded uh people weren't like on top
of each other though like i've definitely been in parks that are uh like overrun with people where
you can like barely find a square for your blanket and everybody was like yeah six feet away nobody
was like got close to me when i was in the park um really the frustrating thing is is like seeing
people without masks running by you and stuff yeah because they're talking they're spitting
micro coughing and that's just everywhere in park, there was like a group of like 10 people all exercising together and not wearing masks.
And I was like, do you think that you're being safe?
I don't.
Yeah, do they think that they're being safe or do they think it's like, it's probably fine?
Or like, oh, the worst is behind us.
It's time to fucking let loose.
I think it must be a little bit of all of that stuff because i
mean that's like why i wanted to go on a bike ride but i wore a mask but you know it's still
like not a hundred percent good yeah people are definitely taking like little baby step towards
pushing the boundary a little too much it's like oh i can take a walk all right i'll go to the park
all right i'm hiking what's a picnic i'm already in a picnic i was seeing something on like that um i was seeing something on twitter of like an aerial
shot of like the same photo and people are further apart than it looks like oh it's the it's the
vantage point since he was on the ground you can't see how far people are from each other right
exactly i knew you'd take their side uh yeah i mean i don't know it's it all it all
sucks so much and then you you do run around you just like it puts you in a bad mood because you
like you see people that are that are putting other people at risk but then also maybe you're
sort of doing a little bit too yeah i read a funny tweet i forget who wrote it but it's like i saw so many people outside today when i was outside today yeah that's really that's that's what it is it should just be me that's there and
i see all these other people there when i'm also there yeah i guess the thing is like if you're
gonna go outside like you're you gotta wear a mask and try your best to stay away from people
and then if uh if you're doing that,
definitely don't go and like see friends and stuff.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I guess it's slightly better.
It's slightly better than the protest that's happening in Southern California where people are just fucking creating a mini parade to reopen stores and stuff.
Yeah.
It's man.
It's also so funny that people are like, reopen stores.
But you can just, you don't have to protest for the stores to be open.
You can just, you can be outside.
Yeah, but I really need the store to be open too.
What stores do you want?
And food stores are open.
Cafes are open.
Yes, but I need a haircut.
And I need to bowl.
And I need to golf miniature style.
That's right, a putt-putt.
Yeah, I guess.
Concert venues in Missouri are opening on Monday, they said, the governor.
Yeah, I wonder if, like, just because concert venues and just because bowling alleys open,
does that mean that they'll be crowded again?
I doubt crowded, but I bet all the people who are protesting are also down to go bowling.
And those people who are protesting are not like, let's take it easy on the bowling alleys.
This is a little bit too far.
I know I protested for this, but I feel kind of bad.
Let's stay distant.
I'm glad I don't live there.
I mean, being in New York is weird enough.
Oh, live where?
In Huntington Beach?
Yeah, in any of those places with the protests and the places that are going to open bowling alleys.
I'm glad I'm not there.
Yeah, I worry about the next time I go bowling.
I'm afraid it's going to start affecting my game because I was starting to roll pretty well.
Yeah, and you have your own ball, so that's at least a little bit that's yeah but it hits the public pins so like i'm gonna have to wear the rubber the dishwashing gloves to bowl
it's gonna be hard for it to slip off your fingers at that yeah like if i have like a 410 split set
up and like i'm wearing like a dishwashing glove and a hazmat suit,
I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to like grip the ball enough to where it like will hit the lane
correctly. You know what I mean? You did, you looked up a lot of bowling lingo for this.
You knew lane. And you knew split. And you sort of said spare, was good which was rare all right we're recording this on a
sunday a beautiful sunday i assume in new york a beautiful sunday sunday may 3rd this is this is
when the dates start sounding really nice sunday may 3rd almost mother's day warm out 78 not too
humid yet everything was easy when it was march it was fine when it was april
when it's freaking cinco de mayo when it's 72 and partly cloudy yeah you're telling me i have
to make a margarita and zoom with a friend or two no people are people are outside they're doing to
go cocktails in new york city and people are sitting in the parks, and they're drinking their cocktails, and they're not wearing their masks.
It's over, okay?
They're like kids who were put in detention, and now they're just sort of, like, taking one foot out the door.
Like, all right, I'm not getting in trouble.
All right, I'm going.
I just go to the kitchen, Mom.
All right, now I'm outside.
I can't hang out with a friend for five minutes i was telling jill this if like this is it's similar to like a hookup where you're like okay you can come inside but like i'm not gonna kiss you and then you guys
start like making out you're like all right you're in a sleepover but we're like we're not going past
first base and then everyone's fucking let me just take my mask off because it's fucking hot
under here babe i can't kiss you with this thing on let me smooch for a second
so everyone's necking in the park now
uh and you're recording in your closet you turn your closet into some sort of mobile
futuristic micro office that's right i had um i had a little built-in like so a built built-in
cabinets uh in this closet you know where you can like, all the shelves are on those hooks that you can raise and lower.
Yeah.
So you open the closet and it's like shelves, but now your computer and your printer are in there.
Yeah, I raised all the shelves that I could all the way up.
And then the bottom one I lowered as much as I could.
So it's desk height nice yeah it's it actually really works it gives me a lot of joy what about your
chair situation is it an office desk or are you just having a regular roller it's it's not a roller
I'm like I the reason I like this it's a it's an armchair basically it's just a it's an accent
chair it's yeah it's not meant to
like sit out for eight hours a day though i think i mean it this is like it looks like an old
teacher's chair like an old office chair no roller but it's it's pretty comfortable uh it's got a
nice it's supportive it's got a nice firm back and uh i didn't want to go rolling chair because then
i would i'm where where i set this up is like my den.
This is where I relax at the end of the day.
Jill and I watch TV in here and I don't want to see a desk and I don't want to see a rolling chair.
I want to leave work behind.
So this chair looks nice in this room when it's not at the desk, you know?
I see.
So you want to like use it, but then like be able to hide it completely.
Yeah.
Like let it, let it be part of the room. And a rolling chair, it wouldn't accomplish that.
Yeah. I'm debating whether to get a chair because sofa living, which I've been doing for the last
month, is starting to catch up with me. The sofa is starting to die.
Yeah. I think that... Wait, so you're in your office right now, right? What are you...
Yeah. I'm sitting on this black rolling chair.
Oh, that's nice.
It looks nice, but I'm not at this desk.
I'm usually on the couch in this room.
That room on the couch, that's where you work?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I spent a month and a half working mostly on a couch,
and it doesn't make you feel your best it's it's not work mode it's like
relaxing mode yeah well we can save this for unsolicited advice actually because this is i
want to talk more about my chair okay great save it for unsolicited chair advice in the second act
uh all right what is this this is if i were you the only advice pod on the WOD hosted by Odd. I'm God.
And I'm Todd.
God and Todd.
So the world's most powerful creature and also a guy named Todd.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
We got some real questions here from real people.
A golden god and a troll named Rod.
That's right.
Shout out.
Yeah.
I knew someone was going to fucking tweet it at me, so I had to say it out loud.
Beat them to the pod.
This one's pretty fun.
It's Zoom related.
So it's sort of Corona adjacent, but mostly a Zoom related blunder from a guy we'll call Rod. call um rod rod last week a group of guys i normally play video games with decided to try
something new and play virtual board games online imagine a website that allows you to interact with
a virtual tabletop and everyone can participate we also have a zoom conference running so we can
hear each other talk and strategize about the board game sounds good to me anyways it was a
particularly hot day and my balls were
heating up. So without really thinking about it, I sort of stood up, whipped out my dick and balls
and proceeded to air out those toasty boys right in front of the computer. Much to my horror,
I heard one of my friends shout, hey, what the hell's going on over there? Only then do I realize
I'm flashing six of my good buds on the Zoom call.
I played it off as well as I could and mumbled something about forgetting that I was on video.
We even finished the rest of the game without any problem. But guys, I'm a little fucked up
in the head about this situation. What do I do? Do I mention this mistake on a group text? Do I
apologize? Do I find a way to laugh about it? Or do I pretend this never happened?
We're all in our late 20s and everybody is pretty chill,
but I'm not sure if I'm obligated to say something
and move past it or just let it be.
Thanks, love, Rod.
I think you're supposed to say something.
If you show everyone your dick and balls,
you're not supposed to mumble an excuse.
If these guys were really close friends, they'll think you were just kidding, right?
I mean, but also, if I was on a Zoom call with Mike and Dave and Jeff,
and Dave showed everyone his balls, it would make sense.
And we would all be like, you know, that's nothing.
But if I was on a Zoom call with you and Marty.
And half of head gum.
Well, that's a work one, I guess.
But I mean, like I have different friends that are like,
I feel like the friends that I grew up with
were like more immature because we were teenagers together.
Like you and I became friends when we were young adults like we've never shown each other our balls so you're saying your ball friends your genitals friends are the ones that like you went
through puberty together so it's fine to show off your dicks and balls to each other. I mean, I wouldn't say it's fine, but I think it's... It's good you're saying,
it's looked, it's smiled upon. Instead of frowned upon, this kind of behavior is actually smiled
upon. It's encouraged. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody has a friend that's like, that's, it makes sense that
he takes out his D and B, but I'm wondering'm wondering like i'm playing poker tonight with some high school friends if i take out my d and b
would the reaction be lol i bet some of them would laugh nobody would be horrified i don't think
i think the weird thing is like you laugh there's like some friends where you laugh and you could
play it off as like yeah like i was i got you guys and then there's some friends that you would
laugh it off and be like oh my god that's embarrassing got you guys and then there's some friends that you would laugh it off
and be like oh my god that's embarrassing that was a mistake but there's no world where you just
like show everyone your penis on zoom and then and then they're like what was that and you're
like oh sorry i forgot i was on zoom it's always more embarrassed it's more embarrassing to like
air your balls and dick out like i've never been so hot that I just got to whip out my junk and sort of dry this swamp that I'm dealing with right now.
I think I've not stood up to do that.
I feel like I've pulled aside the boxers and tried to get some air into my underwear.
Yeah, maybe peel off your nutsack against a sticky thigh but i'm not taking off my
jeans and just like sort of air drying my genitals i do think it deserves to be addressed it's it's
trying to like it's such an obvious like thing that everybody notices, that everyone registers, that you can't just be like, you can't shrug it off.
No.
No, you can't shrug it off.
You need to have some sort of State of the Union Zoom public apology.
Well, no, now that's, it's weird.
I think just like if there's a way where you can be like,
like next time you guys play, be like,
hey, maybe this time I won't flash you guys by accident.
Let's get started.
Like a little joke to acknowledge, but not like a group text.
Be like, hey, everyone, I'd like to apologize for accidentally showing you my penis and balls.
I was very hot, as you know.
You know it was hot that day.
And it got only hotter when I, and then you stand up, took out my little wiener as such.
Or you could just do it every Zoom and be like, now you're the guy that flashes their friends.
I would not say that.
Well, then you won't be invited to the game.
Did he say what game it was?
It was strip poker.
I asked him in an email.
Oh, okay.
So that works.
That actually, you just jumped the gun
they were playing strip katan have you been playing games on zoom with friends uh yeah i've
done it a couple times i played uh played some jackbox games uh i played we've been playing um blank slate you know have you ever played blank slate no um it's
you basically have there's there's two how it's like two word phrases so an example would be
uh one of the cards says house blank and then everyone writes down like
what the other word should be like what the natural word to follow house blank
is and then you all show each other what you wrote down at the same time and the
goal the ultimate goal is to match with only one other person and no one else
that's worth three points if you match with a game boy yeah if you match with only one other person and no one else that's worth three points if you match
with game boy yeah if you match with a couple people it is like the game boy if you match with
a couple people it's worth one and if you don't match with anybody at zero what would you write
house blank arrest oh and i would have said house party so we wouldn't have matched i see but like
party might be one that a bunch of people do right and thus you'll get
like many points but if one person does house arrest then me and that person yes exactly and
there's also what there's also cards where you have like blank blank house so that you know so
it's it goes the other way too it's always it's always a blank but sometimes it's the first word
sometimes it's the second and you're playing's the second. And you're playing over Zoom?
Yeah, it works well for Zoom because everyone has the video and you can see everyone's words, and it's kind of nice.
Are you writing it down or using your phone?
I write it down on my phone because it's easy to write it big
and then erase it.
That's cool.
Yeah, it's really fun.
Highly recommend.
Do you play anything?
Just the Switch, just the Nintendo Switch.
I would love to be invited to the, because i know you said you're playing with friends or whatever
yeah i'm playing with uh just like close friends people you know obviously like yeah
walter walter's there yeah yeah he is there because i was dming him earlier and he was like
kind of standoffish slash reply he replied kind of like like i would reply right away and he would
reply in like an hour later
and he'd be like sorry I'm busy or whatever
he's 15 now
he's a little older than that buddy
would he do for blank house
alright let's play a mini round right now
sure
for house
I'll do lonely because I live in a lonely
house what would you have done
me and Walter would have done brick house
and it would have been funny
because then we would have sung.
We'd be like,
she's a brick.
Brick.
I like that song.
No,
that's me and Walter's song.
So you wouldn't be able,
you wouldn't,
you said,
you would have said lonely house.
It's a lonely house.
She's really lonely.
That's why we don't invite you
because you do shit like that that
like kind of bumps us out you know i befriended a mouse the other day really yeah tit mouse i'm
sorry to hear that so the mouse will bite me and i'll just get a mouse i would never that sounds
like a fun little like uh like a fairy tale or something yeah definitely mother goose
style yeah for sure i am not one but i get that i get where you're coming you're not a tip mouse i
know i said i'm not a tip mouse you're not a tip mouse but you are a chipmunk all right let's take
a break and uh thank some sponsors and we'll be back with some unsolicited advice will be about
chairs will be about something completely different? Let's find out.
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.

Yes.
You're a fan of gambling.
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,
cause I do know a lot.
Like,
do you know what a nickel back,
uh,
does in a cover to defense?
Or like, do you know what a play action pass is like these are like
some advanced things that i know that you wouldn't i basically know run and hail mary you actually

Sorry, I have to spell it out for some people.
Yeah, you do.
And we have returned.
Hola.
Jake, do you have any?
Oh, it's a little sooner than I can.
Mom, I'm coming.
Gross. Yes, I mentioned it when i was talking about the chair when i was talking
about my desk yeah um it took me a long time it took me a very long time because we've been under
this uh shelter at home order for a while but i think maybe around two or three weeks ago i
realized that i needed to like i couldn't just like sit at the kitchen table, couldn't just sit at the couch and do my work.
So I started like just establishing my work space, like, you know, lay out a desk, make it nice and neat. And it feels really nice to have,
to have that set up.
Like a little assignment or a little area to do other assignments or both?
Both really. Like it feels good to accomplish any small task these days. So setting up a desk
was like a fun little task. It was like a little project that i had to plan out a little bit sick and then once it was done it's like it is more zen place to work where you're not like
you know you're not just sitting on your couch all day where you where you maybe eat your breakfast
where you watch tv where you chill on your phone but then where you're also trying to work it's
just like it doesn't work it doesn't make you very effective. And this is like something that I listened to on a podcast even before this quarantine
that like people that work from home, this is the kind of thing that you need to do.
People that work from home knew this stuff already.
But it does feel really nice to have a workspace that is specifically there to work.
It makes you more productive and it makes you feel a little less listless around the house. Yeah. The problem is that nobody knew how long this was going to last.
So it's like week one, you're like, I don't want to start setting shit up because what if we're
back in the office in two weeks? And then you wait for a month and you're like, all right,
it's already been a month. How much longer can this last? I don't want to get a desk. I don't
want to get a chair. Now it's like week nine and like, all right, maybe for the summer,
we won't be all going into an office anytime soon,
unless you live in Missouri and concerts are starting next week.
You might have to be working from home for longer than you think.
So you might as well get as comfortable as possible there.
Yeah.
And I mean, really, even if it, even if this thing gets lifted next week for,
even if it really disappears, like Trump promised.
He said it would
it'll still be nice to have a really elegant work from home solution for a week
maybe everybody's already done this too but it it definitely helped me a lot there's a world
though too where like um there's just like staggered shelter from home stuff until there's
like the vaccine yeah like we might go into lockdowns again so having
having something will be helpful even if even if we get to go back to work soon
yeah i guess even if you're allowed to do something doesn't mean that people will like
they might relax the orders a little bit people who are still cautious will probably still continue
to stay at home and work from home if they can yeah i think i think like basically people that can work online from home that's going to be that's going to be like we're going to be the
last people to return to work right because you don't need to it's a frontline and essential
workers now next up like maybe like the restaurants and the events like people that that rely on goods and services.
And then us who can pod from home,
we're the least essential people in the world.
I saw somewhere that podcasting was deemed an essential thing
on some website, like state-funded website,
or like an official.gov website.
It was like podcasting and radio services
is considered essential if somebody pulls you over i wonder why it's probably because what we say helps influence
the future of not only covid response but evolution going forward what i do what i say
what i speak what i think actually influences not only the tens of thousands of listeners we have,
but all of their friends so that we're not making a difference.
We are the difference.
One of the things you said earlier in this episode was that you befriended a titmouse.
You're like, I befriended a titmouse.
Yeah.
So like that's something that I said as a throwaway goof.
You also talked about showing like a zoom call your little
dick yeah yeah and like that going forward can really like butterfly effect style you've been
making fun of me for having a young friend i'm speaking really gross shit to power actually
i really am speaking truth to power with regards to the tit mouse
with regards to the walter with regards to the dick and the balls the walter thing the walter
thing i will admit that i i do deserve the scrutiny actually if you don't mind i'd like
to take my my dick out it's kind of warm in this wow you are a chipmunk yeah it's so flat it is
uh all right let's get some more questions and answers under our belt
okay otherwise we're not an essential service at all that's right we're not doing shit uh oh
here's one about feet since you're an expert this is from a lady okay uh we'll call her murphy brown nice the
greatest lady of all been listening and watching to you guys since high school and i'm a 27 year
old female attorney still maintaining the humor of a 13 year old boy there you have it nice thanks
for all the laughs uh here's my issue i've had this fucking foot injury for a year now i've been
to doctors and all that shit,
and I'm still in the process of figuring out what's wrong.
Now with the quarantine, there are definitely no appointments,
and thus no end in sight.
Jake, you were in a similar situation with your foot for so long.
How did you stay positive?
How did you stay fit?
I miss running and sports, and it gets to me sometime.
Thank you, and any advice would be truly appreciated here.
Love ya.
Damn, love you too i
feel your pain literally how is your foot by the way it's great that's really good so you don't
feel anything anymore would you say you're back to 100 or like at a 90 ish percent that you can
deal probably 90 90 ish percent that i can deal with it doesn't the pain has it's only really been like better for a month but it doesn't limit
me at all i'm doing like i'm exercising like doing weighted lunges and skaters and some like
burpees basically stuff that i never would have been able to do what that would have been way too
painful on my foot before wow are you walking around barefoot or is that still not in the cards
that's still something that hurts i think that will like basically always hurt a little bit on my foot before. Wow. Are you walking around barefoot or is that still not in the cards?
That's still something that hurts.
I think that will like basically always hurt a little bit.
But that's okay because you have Crocs and or the other Crocs that you like.
Yeah.
Having slippers at home is something I'd recommend.
Even if you don't have foot pain,
it's just real cozy.
Preventative.
And yeah, I've been like running, riding my bike.
So I'm not limited anymore.
Well, don't rub it in.
This lady is still dealing with foot pain.
Yeah, sucks to be her.
Oh God.
As long as I'm good.
Are you good?
No.
I'm cripplingly depressed.
And I have joint pain in my shoulder.
I thought the foot thing would actually make me happier. And if anything, it's only gotten me worse. I would just be proactive. Even if stuff's not working, trying to find a solution and not wallowing is helpful.
Stretching, hot baths, cold compresses.
All the good stuff.
Foam rolling, get that lacrosse ball.
I don't know, yeah.
Roll out your glutes, do calf raises.
How do you stay fit off your feet?
You can get a pull-up bar oh pull-up bar um
doing push-ups on your knees there's plenty of stuff there's i bet you can like search on youtube
uh modified workouts for feet injuries for sure yeah plenty of you're not the only one with a
hurt foot there's jake and a bunch of other people.
Mm-hmm.
Bans.
For sure, bans.
You can find a way.
And do you think... Just be proactive.
Do you think that there is a surgery out there that will fix her?
Maybe.
There was one out there that fixed me, but it's hard now to go into a hospital to get
an MRI or something, you know?
Yeah.
You probably have to wait till till
this clears up but when it when it does if your insurance or if you can afford it uh the mri is
what revealed my uh torn ligaments so that'll help too oh mri versus just x yeah i had gotten x-rays
and nothing was wrong and stupidly i didn't get an mri for like an extra year and then they were
like it's uh yeah you have torn ligament oh all right so mri which might be essential
maybe yeah all right one last question sure this one's a little light-hearted
what are some happy and funny shows or series you're watching now thank you listen every monday
morning love who was with Murphy Brown?
I forget the other characters on that show.
Dr. Brown.
All right.
Caroline in the City.
Thank you, love, Caroline in the City.
All right.
So, are you escaping into the world of TV shows and or podcasts to make yourself feel happy?
Yeah.
I love escaping into content that was created before corona time because it's
high quality and it's good and so much content is is like made for corona right now that i don't
like it all the time yeah so what do you what's your current what's on your current rotation rotation um okay so jill and i the the michael jordan documentary great uh westworld not great
but still fun to watch and it's very beautifully done nice aaron paul's awesome this season um
there was what oh devs and there's one other thing we're watching.
Oh, Billions comes back tonight.
Jill and I shamelessly love Billions.
It's so over the top.
It's so stupid.
And I love it so much.
Do you watch, like when you're binging shows,
I'm new to this whole watching TV thing
because I used to just watch sports so much
that like I haven't seen these shows.
Do you watch them like all of devs in a row,
then all of billions in a row,
then all of this in a row?
Or like,
are you like spacing it out?
Like regular TV programming?
Um,
I,
it feels like a mix almost like we'll,
we will watch like two or three devs in a row and then be like,
and then just like,
sometimes,
you know,
like I'm,
I'm not in the mood tonight.
Like I want,
I need something that's like a little lighter.
So we'd have something else.
Yeah.
So it's not like all of it all at once.
And it's not like this tonight,
this tomorrow and this the next day.
It's just like,
it's really whatever we feel like,
but I feel like usually it's when we're binging something, it's like you watch two of those shows in a night yeah not not too much but not
nothing at all yeah and you're watching what was the thing you're watching rome yeah avital loves
rome we watched the entire first season she's seen it like four times i watched it for the first time
i have a feeling you'll like it a lot more than me. It was,
I said it was like Game of Thrones before Game of Thrones,
but like grounded in history. So it's like basically about Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony and Brutus and,
you know,
all those,
the whole Roman empire.
And it,
it looks,
it was made in 2005 for HBO,
but it looks like it could have been made last year.
It's so good.
And the actors are very good and it's very well written.
And,
you know,
there's one,
there's, I think two seasons and we only watched like the first, and the actors are very good, and it's very well written. And, you know, there's one, there's, I think, two seasons, and we only watched, like, the first, which is a
self-contained story about, like, the rise and fall of Julius Caesar. Oh, there's only two seasons?
Only two seasons, and I guess the first season is better than the second. So, I have only seen the
first. Oh, I also think I talked about this, but Ozark. Ozark is great. Yeah, and I also hear good
things about Never Have I Ever, and I have a friend on it christina karchner so watch never have i ever
before i do yeah and uh you know ben and thomas's uh special is on netflix that's right three words
gosh there's so much shit out there we're never gonna catch up especially for podcasting like a
bunch of dweebs yeah we should really stop the show so we can binge you don't watch a lot of comedies all your stuff is like hour-long dramas yeah i don't watch any comedy
maybe i should start there was a time when i was like oh like i do comedy all day so i don't want
to do that at night but now i don't really do comedy all day right maybe maybe i should use it
maybe i should maybe i need it yeah i heard the good place is really
good yeah the good place and like uh brooklyn 99 there's like these these shows that have like
50 to 125 episodes that you could just sort of like plow through because they're all 22 minutes
long the last comedy i watched was modern family and i think that was like six years ago when i
don't know when it first came out but it was a long time ago yeah it first came out i think 10 years ago and i think it just ended yeah i definitely i i think i
watched the first two seasons of it and that was that's like the last comedy i watched you're like
this is the pinnacle of comedy i think i'm out as of as of this point is devs a comedy no well
is that half an hour uh no it's an hour and it's pretty fucking weird pretty fucking dark
what about the wire is that funny uh yeah the wire is hilarious do you watch better call sol
everyone loves that too no i couldn't get into it i don't know why i heard it and i heard it's like
amazing but i watch there was sometimes these these shows that like torture and kill people, I also can't do, which is weird because I love Game of Thrones so much.
But like, that's why I show like Succession is perfect for me.
It's like high stakes drama, but it's not like they're just torturing and killing people.
It's all like emotional torture.
Yeah.
It's also like borderline a comedy.
Yeah, I mean, Succession is a straight-up comedy.
And actually, Billions is kind of a straight-up comedy too.
Those are the two best shows.
And I also watch Two and a Half Men a lot,
so I guess that's the last comedy.
That's probably the furthest away from a comedy.
I've been watching Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon doesn't know anything.
For someone so smart, he's pretty damn clueless.
What else?
Baby Sheldon, what else?
Young Sheldon, boss baby.
Boss Sheldon.
I've been watching movies.
I'm starting to structure my life as like, oh on fridays uh me and avital will watch a movie
with sean and christina so it's like okay every friday we have this movie to watch and i'm watching
movies that are considered like masterpieces that i don't really fully understand oh that's
and do you like facetime sean and christina yeah we facetime them before watch the movie and then
discuss it after oh that's really nice yeah i saw i don't know i'm like i don't have the attention
span for movies anymore now it used to be like three hour movies are too long now two hour movies
are too long for me and then like it's gotten to the point like god is this movie almost over it's
been on for an hour and six minutes there's still another 30 and then what do you but like what are
you itching to do what are you like i wish this movie was over so I could look at Twitter now.
Exactly. Or I wish this movie was about Michael Jordan because I have an insatiable appetite for
that. I'll watch six hours of that.
That one is still coming out, right?
Yeah, it's two episodes every Sunday for five Sundays in a row. So today's episodes five and
six.
Are you excited for that?
Yes, especially because tonight's episode will be very Kobe-centric.
So I'm excited to see that.
Oh, that is really cool.
Yeah.
That I can consume.
That I've like watched twice already.
And yet if it's like a movie that's like in the AFI top 100, like have you heard of Badlands?
Yeah.
I think that like some of those movies are like the cinematic masterpieces and stuff are tough for me to get through also.
Right. It's like considered a classic American masterpiece. And I'm just like, this movie isn't good to me. Am I wrong? I can't be dumb, right? It must be every other film critic that loves it is wrong. I go to Rotten Tomatoes, it has 99%. Yeah, I think those, but those ones you have to like, know a ton about cinema to appreciate,
right?
I mean, it looked nice, and it was made in 1974, which was impressive. But I wouldn't,
I don't understand why it's considered good. Maybe we can start a film review podcast called
Why Is This Considered Good? Why is this considered good? That is so funny.
We should definitely do a why is this considered good podcast.
Oh, man, we should do that.
We could also do a watch-along.
So I'm like watching a film that's considered good
that I don't quite understand.
And at the end, I just ask, why is this considered good?
That's a great idea.
We should do that.
What's the AFI Top 100?
Citizen Kane is on there of course right all right another another classic movie that i watched recently that like everyone's
like you know it's so influential and important was repulsion which was like a roman polanski
horror movie in like the 60s or 70s why is this considered good badlands is a good example
yeah and then we would also get to watch like if we did all 100 we could watch forest gump
and that was just that would just be like us being like i know why this is considered good
because i saw it when it came out so if i saw it when i was 11 then it's good but if it came out
before i was born let's start then why is this? Let's start with 100. Ben-Hur made in 1959.
We both love it. We're in tears the whole time. I really think you and I should do this. It would
be really funny. From 100 down to one. What's 99? Toy Story right away. Perfect. That's considered
good. How many of those films do you think we've seen already? Number 98 is Yankee Doodle Dandy,
1943. Well, that's the thing.
Some of the movies I have watched, I'm like, that was great.
Like Singing in the Rain, I think was great.
And that was made very early on and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was really good.
I remember seeing that in high school.
And then some movies are like, what was that?
And why was this considered good?
I can't quite put my finger on why some are good to me and others are not.
Maybe we'll learn a little bit about film the way we learned a little bit about the
EPL.
Yeah.
Should we just watch Swimfan though?
Is that on the list?
We could do like alternating weeks where like sometimes we watch the AFI best movie of all
all time list.
And then we also watch the worst movie of all time list so we're like why is this considered good and why isn't this considered good
or why is this considered bad freddy got fingered is hilarious there's something here there's
something here all right let us know what you think uh for more questions and answers send
them all to i guess not the, it's just the questions,
theme songs and questions.
You can send the answers.
Send us the answers.
Do you feel like you fucking got them?
Do you think you're better than me?
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know, probably.

feet away that's what you really gotta do just keep your distance that way when you faint on
someone you want to make sure that you don't touch their feet that's why it's like six feet away
so it's like if you collapse completely face plant you want to make sure that you don't touch their feet. That's why it's like six feet away. So it's like if you collapse completely face plant,
you want to make sure that you're not landing on anybody.
Yeah, you'll pure ground.
Yeah, it's the pure ground rule we're calling it.
All right, we'll be back next week.
Bye, everybody.
Later.
But later on in the episode,

They shared some tips and tricks, real life experience.
And so I started to believe.
And that's about the time that I began to grow.
