I'm Mickey. This is Tricky. Hey, I'm Tricky.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Stooch. What was that? I thought we were doing a whole thing. You ruined it. I'm Stooch. Stooch? Yeah, Stooch from middle school. Remember, you brought the paintball gun in that one time? Never heard from him again.
Starting point is 00:02:03 That was you. That was you, and you blamed it on a foreign kid. They found a kill list in your locker. You're like, that's not mine. That's stupid. Remember when I spread that rumor about you having the kill list? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Wasn't that at CollegeHumor? I've never seen you actually so mad at me before. No, I got mad at you. Yeah. Wait, what? That wasn't CollegeHumor. That was at a place of work that I spread a rumor that you had a kill list.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Yeah. And I was also really mad that time. Oh, it was in 2003. The other time I got really mad at you was when you took a photo of me on the toilet. Yes. And you wouldn't delete it. No. And then you made me delete it, but not before I emailed it to myself.
Starting point is 00:02:40 You did not email it to yourself. I did email it to myself. Let's see if you can pull it up. But I think it's an old email that I no longer have access to. That's right. It's a cute photo, though. I've seen it. Wait, you took a picture with a digital camera?
Starting point is 00:02:51 You know one of those? No, no, no. Phone? Yeah. So this was in the iPhone era. Early iPhone. I think it was 2000. It must have been 2008.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yes, because it was at our apartment. Yeah, great place. And you guys lived together. Do you barge in photo, or you were, like, sneaking through the door? Yeah, no, it's a barge photo. A barge in photo. And you were, like, taking a shit, so your pants were down, trying to cover your dick.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Yeah. Naked, ostensibly. Pants around the ankles. I thought it was funny. Maybe I was laughing. They call that the Stooge snap. Yeah. The Stooge snap.
Starting point is 00:03:28 There's a lot of illegal things. Stooge is a bad guy. Stooge is a bad person. Stooge is Dave. My alter ego Dave. I guess we should actually introduce you. Jeff Rosenberg is here. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Old friend of ours. Older friend of Jake's. Ancient friend to me. When did you guys meet? What age? I think we were 13 or 14. I remember where we met. We met at the Orange County Fair.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Was it Orange? Whoa. We met at a fair. Really? Orange County? Or the New Jersey Orange County? No, Connecticut. The township of Orange.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Orange County? No. Or maybe Waterbury Fair? No, I did go to the Orange Fair one year, but I think that was when I could drive. And I met you just before your bar mitzvah. So I think I was 14 and you were 13. Were you invited to their b'nai mitzvah?
Starting point is 00:04:14 The first thing he said to me was that I couldn't come to his bar mitzvah. Before you'd even met him, you said, I don't know who you are, bro, but you're not getting in. He's like, this is Jeff. You can't come to my bar mitzvah. The invitations already went out. So I think it was like some sort of like, no matter what, like, if we become friends, you can't come. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So don't get. Oh, wow. Who is it? It's my mom. Of course. I, um, I'll pick it up now. You have to pick it up. For master team people, I'm going to pick up the phone later.
Starting point is 00:04:46 It's her birthday. All she wants is to talk to her son just once because you haven't talked to her in... I'm recording a podcast, mom. What do you want? You're so fucking annoying. Okay, yeah, I'll get fucking LASIK. Relax. Is she pressuring you?
Starting point is 00:05:01 Yeah, she thinks I'm a fucking dweeb unless I work out and get no glasses. Your mom sounds awesome. She is really cool, and she's pretty strong. She's bullying you. She can kick my ass. Your mom is a bully. Yeah, she's a bully. She's a troll.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Interesting. She's an angry, angry woman. Sounds like Stooge. Stooge was an angry woman, right? Yeah, that's Ruth, actually. Ruth and Stooge. Ruth and Stooge. Stooge Bader Ginsburg, Ruth's oldest son.
Starting point is 00:05:29 All right, we're here to answer some questions. It's like Chet Hayes. Chet Hayes, Tom Hanks' rapper son? Yeah. So Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, very sweet, successful actors, had two kids. One became a sweet, successful actor. One is Colin wants to do like
Starting point is 00:05:45 a documentary about the end of a record his favorite record store the other is Chet Hayes sort of an Instagram rapper I guess you can go one of two ways
Starting point is 00:05:58 one of two Hayes nice very good one of Chet Hayes you can either go with the crowd or against the grain. I guess if my parents were rich, successful, and I had all the cash in the world, I would probably just rap too.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Right. I wouldn't have to be nice to people or learn how to act. I would just be like, they've already done that. My parents broke away for me to be a rapper. Yeah. He's actually really good. It's just his name is so bad, nobody respects him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:28 One of his songs was, like, really fucking tight. Yeah. It's, like, really, really tight. Popo Zao? Popo Zao. Yeah. God, all the people that didn't deserve to be musicians are so funny. Like Kevin Federline and Chet Hayes?
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah, Kevin Federline and Chet Hayes. There's got to be more. Oh, Rebecca Black, the Friday girl? Becky Black. Yeah. She's a congresswoman now. No shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Pretty cool, actually. She ran in a super red district, one of the platform of hate. Of Hayes. Hayes Valley. All right, let's try to answer some questions here. We only have so much time. Yes. Jeff, do you have a fake guy's name to refer
Starting point is 00:07:05 to this person as? Looch. Looch writes, Bros, I recently went over to my girl's house to help decorate because her sister was coming home from college for the first time. The entire family was there. Aunts, grandparents, cousins, neighbors.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I went upstairs when I heard the door open and everyone started to celebrate. I started to nervously rehearse my greeting. I got to the top of the stairs when I saw the mom and her sister were at the bottom. The mom said, this is Travis who I've told you so much about. I was awkwardly deciding in my mind
Starting point is 00:07:40 if I should say hi from the top of the stairs or go all the way down before saying hello. I quickly tripped and fell hard down the stairs. A good three to four tumbles before landing with a thud that could be heard for miles. For the next two hours, I was on ice while the entire family was assuring that I was okay, but obviously laughing about the fall behind my back. I was humiliated, but I understand how funny the situation is. My question is, should I consistently joke about the situation to help make it less awkward from now on, never mention it again,
Starting point is 00:08:16 or break up with my GF and get as far removed from this family as possible? I wouldn't be worried. The GF's going to break up with you, obviously. You have no balance. One fall says it all. You stumbled. Keep falling out of
Starting point is 00:08:35 my house. Keep falling out of my life. Yeah, they should have just opened the door at the bottom of the stairs. You tumble out into the lawn. They slam the door behind you. The new boyfriend steps over him. Perfectly composed. He does the Willy Wonka. Stumble, stumble, stumble.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Flip. Grand reveal. Standing ovation. Ta-da. Leans the mom over and kisses her on the mouth. Wow. At this point, he's fallen. It's at least been a week, right?
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah. No, he's writing this email awkwardly like from the couch. He's got an ice pack on his head right now talking. I'm sitting on frozen peas
Starting point is 00:09:15 and I swear to God I heard the great uncle go and then he fell and my, her aunt was cracking up so hard. The neighbor keeps snickering at me.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Have you ever embarrassed yourself in front of your signo? Your signo's family? Plus family, though? Yeah, plus family. Me? Yeah, most likely. Oh, yeah. I can answer that, of course.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. Jeff was a constant embarrassment. He was drunk and high through many family vacations. Do you remember when you tried to wrestle Micah and you pulled your back? Right. I bring that up to Micah a fair amount because I think that's pretty much a decade ago at this point. And that was a funeral. And Micah, before he got, you know, jacked, he, correct me if I'm wrong, he was thick. Oh, yeah. There was a time before high school that he was, like, thicker.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Right. And then you had the sectional couch. We were wrestling around as boys are wanted to do because he was looking for this out of his older brother. His older brother was, you know, doing stuff, hanging out with certain types of people. Yes, I was living a rich, decadent life. I was sort of like a Gatsby, and Jeff was more of a, I don't know. Any other characters than Gatsby. A pedophile that wanted to wrestle my 11-year-old brother?
Starting point is 00:10:40 No, he may have been at the very least 12 at the time. So we're wrestling. I would say he was definitely 12 at the time. I'm kind of nurturing him, trying to be that older brother figure, that father figure that he's been looking for all of his life. The father figure he wanted by wrestling him? You were 14. So his legs are wrapped around my shoulders at this point in a powerbomb position, right? And I scooch him in his navel towards mine.
Starting point is 00:11:07 This is all part of the wrestling move, though. It's a navel-to-nipple grapple. Right now, you're trying to be my brother's father figure by, I guess he has his legs over your shoulders and you scooch him in towards your pelvis. Yeah, I scooch him in, but that's part of the move. And then you lift him up, and as I'm lifting him up to powerbomb him,
Starting point is 00:11:25 you know what the powerbomb is? Yeah. Everyone was sitting Shiva. Just a pop in my back. Yeah, what happened there? A slipped disc. No, I think it just like separated the lower vertebrae.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Jesus. And it really acts up every now and then. And you blame Micah for being a fat 12-year-old? I can't blame myself. Because you started the story by saying that he was thick. There was a time before he was fit that he was thick.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Right. I'm just saying he was heavier than what I expected. But I didn't say fat. He was a thick pre-tween. And I hurt myself throwing him. Jake wasn't around, so I had to powerbomb the bitch. But would you say I embarrassed myself in front of your family? No.
Starting point is 00:12:13 The family loves you. Yeah, I think there's coming back from this. It was an honest mistake. It's not like he was mean or offensive in some way. If anything, now he's the guy who fell down, and he's kind of a silly mascot for the family. I think then he has to continue to play that up
Starting point is 00:12:32 though. He has to like... It depends how you laugh at yourself. If it's an uncomfortable laugh at yourself or you're really digging into yourself in a self-deprecating way. Sometimes if you won't let something go, even if you seem to have a good nature about it, like... It looks painful.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, don't hand it to me. I might trip and fall down the stairs. Like, hey, you can't let it go, you know? It's been four years. It's clearly weighing on you. I think you have to have a good sense of humor about it. Like, you have to be able to laugh about it every time they bring it up.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I think the issue was he wanted to steal the limelight in the first place by, like, having this grand entrance from the top of the stairs where he like greets his girlfriend and sister. It's like, where do you get off in the first place? Like, you're not the entrance. Like, she's home from college. You're an afterthought. I didn't even think about that. That is strange.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Like, everybody is like saying hello and then you come down. You run upstairs. He wanted to debut. He came downstairs in the sister's old prom dress. And a music cue. He's wearing gloves from a cotillion. Here comes the luge. Here comes the luge.
Starting point is 00:13:42 High heel snaps. I like the idea of him really leaning into it, though. Like, every single time you enter somewhere, there's, like, some sort of, like, crazy slapstick moment. Right. He does a crap fall all the time. Right. You pull up to pick somebody up. You, like, jerry-rig your airbag to go off in your face.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Right. Like, yeah, you greet the dad for the first time. Your pants fall to your ankles. Or no, it should escalate. It just should escalate to where he hurts himself more every time until the family just starts actually feeling bad for him. Right. Falling down the stairs is like no joke.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Like you fall down. At a graduation party, you fell off the roof. It seems like, I don't know if he flipped or fell on his ass and slid a little bit. I don't know what's funnier. It sounds like he didn't get to hang on to the railing. That was close. I'm not used to stairs. Lovely house.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Next Thanksgiving, you have to cut off your thumb when you're carving the turkey. Oop. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Oh. I think you don't bring it up ever again. Right. But at some point, when you've cemented yourself as a family staple, right now it's also a little,
Starting point is 00:15:00 joking about you is a little bit of like, it's what's, tepid, tentative? What's the word? I don't know. Tertiary. It's a fresh wound? Yeah. It's tertiary to be sure.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah. I don't know what tertiary means, but it's definitely that. It's quite tertiary. Yeah. It's like you have to like test the waters. You're not like so much a part of the family that you can be made fun of. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:26 If anything but silver lining, it brings you closer to the family. Yeah. Because now they feel comfortable. That's nice. They should be comfortable making fun of you to your, you know. Oh, that's good. I also just remembered that Jill fell down one of the first times that she met my mom. What happened?
Starting point is 00:15:44 She slipped on the stairs. Downstairs. She didn't. It was like it was the bottom of the first times that she met my mom. What happened? She slipped on the stairs. Downstairs. She didn't. It was like it was the bottom of the stairs. She slipped on like the last stair and landed on her butt and basically like went and like sat on the landing. Just like sitting on the landing. But she had met she had met my mom already. But it was like one of the first times that Jill had come home to Connecticut to spend the weekend with people.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And it was really funny, but we've never talked about it since. So maybe it is forgettable. Definitely. But I think it's probably different if Jill took a full tumble down the stairs. Or what if he passes it off like he leans over to the dad. He's like, you know, I did that on purpose.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Excuse me? Tooth falls out. The fall. That's a thing I do. I think he's got to find the sister a boyfriend and then pay him off to do something. Even worse. Not even worse, just like more recent. I found a kill list.
Starting point is 00:16:41 You think I fell down? Well, I fell on some really harsh evidence here. He doesn't even have to pay him off. He can just, yeah, he can just do that. Yeah, he can catch someone red-handed in a red-eye, digging himself into a deeper hole. And then when he's like, that's your handwriting. Is it? You can make this other guy the biggest klutz doofus of all.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Make him the scapegoat. Yeah, or just come and show up at the next family thing with a fucking gun. Who finds it funny that I fell? Are you laughing now? Not at all, but we now think we thought you were funny before. Do you have a problem with me?
Starting point is 00:17:21 The kickback fucking clocks his nose. Oh! Shit. Gun lands, goes off. The kickback Fucking clocks his nose Oh Shit Gun lands Goes off With a salt spray gun Let's forget this ever happened Comes down the stairs
Starting point is 00:17:33 With a gun And falls I'm okay I bet you think I'm so This is salt Who's laughing now Chuck on his own blood.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I'd love to ask your daughter's hand in... I can act it. I can act it. I mean, I'm going to make it, right? I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it, all right? I'm cold. I'm so cold.

Starting point is 00:21:22 Alright, let's answer another question. This one's from a lady. Yeah. Got a fake girl's name? Jasmina. Jasmina. Jasmina. So I matched with a guy on Bumble three months ago.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Since then, we've gone on four dates and slept together once. Nice. They've all gone very well. He's funny, easy to talk to, totally my type, and really good in bed. Woo! This guy sounds like me. Maybe it is you. You have a girlfriend. I was just...
Starting point is 00:21:52 Maybe you're bragging about your bumble day. You chose this question probably so you could sort of shout yourself out. All right, let's take that again. I feel like that's also... Should we cut? I'm actually not easy to talk to, so it's obviously not me. True. But good in bed.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I'm prickly. I'm not very good in bed. And I'm not very, I'm not her type. Okay. So I was joking. I claw my way in. Sorry. So I was.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I'm an acquired smell. I was joking too, but now you're sort of just like revealing that you. I was kidding. You sprained your wrist. Hairline fracture, I can see it. You're bad in bed? She continues. After our most recent fourth date, at the end of which we discussed going on another,
Starting point is 00:22:36 I pulled up his Bumble profile to show my friends. I had not looked at it recently since we had moved to texting not long after matching. To my shock... What do you guys think? He's obviously still active. Updating his profile picture? Ooh, I like the updating. To my shock...
Starting point is 00:22:53 To my shock, he had noted in his bio that he was in an open relationship. This information was not in his bio back when we had started talking a few months earlier. He has never said anything or behaved in any way in person to indicate that this was the case. I ended up not showing it to my
Starting point is 00:23:12 friends because it made me extremely humiliated to have been left in the dark like this. So my question is, what the fuck? Do I confront him about this information? Isn't being in an open relationship with someone else an important piece of info to share with someone you are seeing? Jake, I love you, but this sounds like some shit you would pull.
Starting point is 00:23:32 That's true. You're taking ownership of something you didn't even do. This sounds like a page right out of my handbook. Is this fucked up? I'm wondering if she's the one that he's in the open relationship with. That's exactly what I was thinking, too. Oh. So, like, yeah, I'm in an open relationship now with you.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah. Like, would that be a relief to her? Oh, thank God. I think she assumes that she is the one that is the relationship, and they have the open relationship together. I think she assumes that there's another girl that he's in an open relationship with. Yeah. She's like, you're in an open relationship.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I just think it's possible that it is what Jeff thinks too. It's so much less likely to say you're in an open relationship after not talking to But like what if you're, you're, you've gone on four dates with somebody and you like where it's going and you're like, I really want to just I really want to just like if you're a real weird anal person you're like I should update my Bumble profile I've been on four dates but I'm down to hang out with you as well. I'm not off the market but things are trending that way.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I met her uncle and I fell next to him so in case I'm ostracized I'm still down to go on a first date. I will say this though. It is even if say hypothetically there's no other girl. That's kind of a cool line. Like, oh, me and this woman have, we're so mature in our, like, love that we're open about it. Like, it adds a little extra little crust on there.
Starting point is 00:24:58 That's an interesting move for your bio. I also just thought it'd be really funny if the guy that fell down the stairs was icing his back, lying on a couch, working on his new Bumble profile. He's that sure that the relationship is over. Oh, no. I'm going to call an Uber as soon as I feel up to the task and I'm out of here. And I have the signal now that much is clear.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Sometimes they say, like, don't move in case you got concussed. So just don't let me go to sleep. I don't think I will. He's craning his neck looking at his mobile phone. I can't move. I don't want to swallow my tongue. Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But, yeah, I think. Whole family's in the hot tub outside. This is definitely information that she should have had initially. And I think it's worth confronting him about it. Four dates, one sex, though? I don't know if she's... I guess if it's four dates over, like... That's a month, right?
Starting point is 00:25:53 I mean, yeah. Going on four dates and sleeping with somebody, like, one that indicates to me that you take sex seriously. Like, it's not like, I went on one date and fucked him. Right. Like, she clearly wanted to, I went on one date and fucked him. Right. Like, she, she clearly wanted to, like, build towards this.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And is, like, opening herself up and, like, getting to know this guy a little better. Right. And now it's all been, like,
Starting point is 00:26:15 pulled out from under her. It's all under false pretenses. Yeah, no, I feel, I feel her on that because it's over-assuming. He is in a relationship with someone. He was in a relationship when they went on dates and things.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yes. That's what I think. So he's... Unless he's also... Bad dude? Yeah. Bad dude? But afraid of confrontation at the very least.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Yeah. Because he's like, he's not cheating on his current girlfriend because they're in an open relationship. But it's still information you have to disclose. It can't be a secret open relationship. Or can it? Well, that's the interesting thing when it comes to not cheating. You think that you're like off the hook. He's like, well, I'm not cheating.
Starting point is 00:26:57 So it's good. So it's not bad. Yeah. Well, you're sort of lying to me. Not lying. He's not telling you the whole story. Right. But you can still mistreat somebody while being
Starting point is 00:27:08 cool to your open relationship. But then you just like, as the new girl, the Bumble girl, now she's an accessory. She's not the bottom bitch, if you will. That's cool. That's a really cool name for me, going
Starting point is 00:27:24 forward. Bottom bitch? Or whatever, BB. And then we don't tell people what it stands for. Right, but you are my bottom bitch. Yeah, for sure. But nobody knows that. And then Jake still podcasts
Starting point is 00:27:34 with other people. You still podcast with other people. Yeah, that's true. But you're still each other's bottom bitch. Jake's like the podfather and I'm the bottom bitch. That's cool. Two cool nicknames.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Podfather. That's great. Yeah, that is a really cool nickname. Godfather. That's great. Yeah, that is a really cool nickname. We can even switch sometimes. We wouldn't switch. We would never switch. We would never switch. Because your nickname is too cool.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And it's also so perfectly you. Because it's like super cool? Yeah. It's quintessential Blumenfeld. I might even try it at like the DMV or some shit. I think that's cool. Is Amir here? Blumenfeld, number 47.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I'm like, that's me, but I go by bottom bitch. You could do that as like a vanity plate almost. BTM, B-I-C-H. Yeah, bottom bitch. That's cool. And then like people honk at me. I'm the bottom bitch. Yeah. Both hands on the wheel. so and then like people honk at me and I'm like I'm the bottom bitch yeah
Starting point is 00:28:25 both hands on the wheel tombstone reads bottom bitch it was an honor here lies bottom bitch I feel bad saying that word at a funeral
Starting point is 00:28:49 in a eulogy but I guess he would have wanted to know about that he legally got his name changed so we have to say it he went to court for this
Starting point is 00:28:55 so what do you guys say to the girl who wants to confront the guy do you say call him out on it yeah definitely call him out what's this I don't yeah it doesn't have to be like some sort of like gotcha bumble date the guy. Call him out on it. Yeah, definitely call him out. What's this?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, it doesn't have to be like some sort of gotcha Bumble date. But I think you could bring it up and just be like, hey, what's the deal with this?
Starting point is 00:29:12 No one likes getting sandbagged. Yeah. And then she's got to say, but then she's also got to say that she was back
Starting point is 00:29:18 on Bumble to check things out. Unless she says, my friend sent this to me. Yeah. She saw you. I was going to show your profile to my friends.
Starting point is 00:29:29 We've been on four dates. That's normal. I would know, as somebody on a dating app, that my profile is being shared with a group of friends. Right. Does that happen to you on Tinder? Of course, yeah. People would send me a screenshot of my profile by accident
Starting point is 00:29:46 because they were meaning to send that to other people. But do you want to call someone out like that? Is that like a – that seems to me to warrant like a resentful response, like an eye roll. I think you have a conversation separately not having to do with the the added line oh so you just bring it up are you in an open relationship like this is what this is yeah but this is why that's dangerous because you could be like oh like are you seeing anybody else and it's like nope and then you're like then you have to be like well i know that you are so like i asked
Starting point is 00:30:23 you a lot of questions right your line of of questioning can be construed as dishonest or like, what is that called? Double jeopardy or something? Right. Or entrapment? Yeah, you can't find out information. I fucked the same girl twice. Leading the bottom bitchness, your honor.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Hi, bottom bitch here. Question for the court. Wait, are you a bottom bitch esquire no I'm a juror and I'm just a little confused about what's going on here juror 9 bottom bitch so on the movies it's all like

Yeah, I wanted to see if I bought a bitch. You're wearing a pencil skirt. I always wanted a caricature of me.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Can the court stenographer read this back? How long did you have to fucking pose like this for the sketch artist to get you? I'm an OJ juror, and every time I saw the person doing the sketch, I would you. I'm an OJ-ger, and every time I saw the person doing the sketch, I would flash the shocker so that when they would show the portraits on TV, that was me. Wearing gloves.
Starting point is 00:31:37 That's the bottom bitch right there. That's good. Wow. That's good stuff. So you say bring it up, show it right off the bat, the bio. Yeah. In a cool way. Bring it up in a cool way.

That's a good album for him. I would bring it up. And you can say that your friend sent you the picture. You don't have to say, I was looking at the bumble.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Right. Sure. You can lie about how you came across it. But do you chew them out? He's like, oh, yeah, yeah. I got Michelle. And then what? What do you say back to that? Why didn't you tell me that? Oh, because, you know, it's bumble. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Alright, let's kiss. I guess if you say, why didn't you tell me that? And he says, because it's bumble, you can end the relationship. Because it's Bumble, bitch. Wait, where are you going? I broke my tailbone. I fractured it.
Starting point is 00:33:17 All right, sweet. That was painless. 30 minutes up, 30 minutes down. One more? It's called ad-free content. Wow. Easy. That's great.

Starting point is 00:34:19 Check it out, neck corrector. What does neck corrector do? That'll help, you know, how I hurt my back. Yeah. You know, it elongates the spine. And, you know, it just helps you lay on it. And it just is a simple way. So you can either buy that or not try to suplex a tween. But if you've already suplexed a tween.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Well, the neck corrector is not going to work for that. You need more of a hip displacement. I'll talk to Ali back at the shop. Yeah, just focus on forks. I'm sad that they abandoned the forcula. They're trying to sell forcula if you guys are interested in a new venture. A small forcula that will cost you for the forcula. Have you made a sale on those things yet?
Starting point is 00:34:58 Yeah, I've made one. Do you have a prototype? No, they make it. I just pushed the code. That's neckcorrect at neckcorrector.com but is it your concept so they came up with the shit yeah they do all the work
