This is a HeadGum Original.
Previously on the HeadGum Podcast.
And then, thankfully, I broke my hand.
To get out of fucking music class, you broke your hand?
I broke my reed on purpose. I broke my hand by accident.
Trying to break the reed, you broke the hand.
I broke my hand by accident.
Trying to break the reed, you broke the hand.
My finger snapped instead of the tiny piece of thin wood.
That's a great premise.
I mean, it's not going to happen,
but Lonely and Horny Season 3 is Ruby Jade learns saxophone.
It's an adult community college class. I'm incredibly gifted.
Wow.
Who is that jazz man?
Bleeding Gums Murphy style. You can call me daddy You can call me bitch
Call me what you like
But call it what it is
First time as a father on the show, right?
Yes.
And how does that spark joy to you to have?
I mean, it sparks joy for me to be a daddy,
but I don't know that it sparks joy to be to you to me a daddy.
You're not understanding the question.
How does it spark joy for you to be a father for me to have?
That's exactly what he answered.
I think I did answer.
And I think you're confused.
We've got Miles Bonsignore on the fucking show.
Yeah.
We've got Marika Brownlee and Amir kind of filling out the rest forget bringing up the
rear it's like we need to create an environment oral or otherwise of sort of the air of formality
the air of this being a show about the company like what even is this anymore all of the rice
like that says nothing to do with the inner workings of the network. It's not like a
company happy hour.
I'd like to speak on formality.
You canceled the show
10 minutes ago
over Instagram.
And then I said,
no, I'm still down to do it. I said
I would yesterday. And you
DM'd me the Zoom link, which was
really inconvenient.
I had to email myself the link to get in.
Well, it was all falling apart.
Yeah, sorry.
I just read through the conversation.
Yeah. No, because this is going to piss Miles
off.
Maybe it will, but that's a good thing
possibly.
Today at 1.35pm,
Jeff, going to reschedule this 1.35pm,
Jeff, gonna reschedule this record. Amir,
whoa, is it something I said?
This is 1.35, we're recording at 2, so in
25 minutes we're supposed to record. Jeff
says, I need to reschedule after we already
got an email that said the recording is cancelled.
Yeah.
He says,
I said,
I wanted to ask why I'm like what caused this
thing 25 minutes beforehand to just
get can't not even like rescheduled
or pushed like we're canceling it's not
because me and
Marika are in like we're waiting
I was
asked yesterday in the middle
of a nap but I responded that I was down
Jeff says our fourth guest hasn't confirmed and I haven't heard from him Yesterday in the middle of a nap, but I responded. I was down.
Jeff says our fourth guest hasn't confirmed and I haven't heard from him.
And the segments are contingent on him.
Parentheses, Miles.
Sorry, you asked me yesterday.
No, no, I asked you like four days ago.
I sent a Cal invite yesterday and you didn't confirm.
So I woke up today and was like,
everything's good, we're all set.
It's not your fault, Miles.
Sorry, okay, I understand that you're worried because I didn't confirm on the Google Cal,
even though I confirmed to you via text days ago.
Yeah, so he sent you an email,
you didn't respond,
and he's like, okay, show's canceled.
Show's canceled.
I said, first I said how the tables
turn and I said I mean did you
text him which I thought was a stupid
question because it's obvious that he
texted him like he's not responsive
and that's why we're canceling
no Mariko was right to ask because Jeff
didn't back not
Miles didn't respond
to an email show episode
canceled
continue Miles didn't respond to an email show episode cancelled can I continue
and I said I would check in
first what if he just didn't accept the
invite by accident
and then the following string of texts
from Jeff comes in
in the span of a
let's see one minute
period
Poppy good point.
Here we go. He confirmed.
Never mind. We are good to go. Sorry.
LOL. So he did
confirm the email after all.
That whole thing wasn't necessary or he didn't
confirm the email. I just DM'd Miles
to see if he was still good. And I responded
immediately.
I said, yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't I be? Which is
funny because all of a sudden you're being
very organized about the calendar invite,
which is impressive to me because
the last several times we've conferred,
it's sort of been just
the Wild West of
who gives a shit.
Yeah.
I didn't confirm the email. Cancel the record.
If Marie could just say, text them,
we just wouldn't record and then i do want to say that was kind of the end of the big thing yeah amir was like i might be five minutes late now i said it's at 2 30 est right and jeff said
it was at 2 p.m and i screenshotted the canceled invite that says
2 30 to 3 30 p.m that was an issue of me kind of clicking on the calendar yeah making a time block
and being like that's 11 a.m yeah and it wasn't it was 11 30 yeah it was added 30 added value
it was added value to the 11 not Not only 11, 11.30.
Yeah, exactly right. Because actually
being later is more
wisdom, right?
But then I said, can we do 11.30? You're like, no,
actually as close to 11, aka
to Eastern as possible.
So not only were you
going off of miles
not responding to the calendar
invite at all, but the calendar invite was wrong
and you didn't go off of it.
Period. And then continue
the transcript.
Oh. Because I have an excuse.
Yes.
Right. Mercury's in
retrograde. Starting today.
Starting today. So that's actually
really... It doesn't really matter because you
did send all the invites yesterday
not today yeah
sure new moon yesterday
though doesn't matter really
yeah
decision to cancel
the record
like I said
most of the episode is contingent
on miles right so reach out
and be like,
are you still down?
Because he did text and say he was.
And then he didn't respond to a calendar invite,
which looks like spam.
And then you're like,
all right, canceled.
It's not happening.
Sorry.
There was a warning on the email.
Yeah.
It said something along the lines of like,
this person isn't like,
don't trust this.
Right.
It's a virus.
Yeah.
I'm a viral man. Yeah yeah the issue is i've only
gone viral in terms of load yeah in terms of like having covet three times in terms of like
souring people's day i haven't gone viral by the way of like internet sensational fame i thought
you had a tiktok that popped off semi recently i not even i had a TikTok that you saw, which is like, you follow me,
so it's not even like, it's not that viral.
You want to help me go viral? I can help you.
Well, you know,
I haven't done anything worth it. I would say all of the rice
should go viral.
Yeah, we should. We can clip that.
TikTok that out, yeah.
I mean, the other one went
viral.
Sage doesn't...
I'm sorry to Sage,
but she doesn't know when to clip things out unless told.
And I feel like she should have a sort of sixth sense about this shit.
It feels so internal.
It's the Headcumbe podcast, isn't it?
It was never supposed to be the internal workings of the network.
Really?
Also, Sage has done a great job for our podcast
and the podcast.
No, and I agree.
Ultimately, I agree. I'm just trying to start some beef
to try and get her on the show because she deserves it.
And Spar.
With you.
Bet you you'll see Spar.
Let's talk about the most important thing let's say at the same time three two one you can't answer for no reason yeah yeah fatherhood yeah miles you're significantly younger than amir like you're still in your prime he's over the hill
yeah i'm 29 i believe amir is 40 yeah 40 the big 40 yeah how does it feel to not only be doing
better than him career-wise but also personally. So you have a wife and a kid.
He only has a wife.
I started a baby, and he's ending his podcast.
Exactly right.
Yeah, you're a decade literally behind and younger than me.
You'll outlive me by 10 years on average, maybe even more.
It's even good.
Although recently, I was talking to Amir and he said,
I have so much free time. I'm just trying to fill
the day. And I thought that that was kind of
cool. Is that
true, Amir? Yeah.
On a perfect person
pod,
we were sort of talking about what my
typical day is
and how sometimes
I do find myself at at four or five,
6 PM wondering like, okay, now what I've sort of done,
what I need to do. And without like a family and without like, um,
a typical nine to six,
I struggled to fill my afternoons into evenings,
not knowing exactly what to do.
You shouldn't start filling your holes.
Just in terms of like you said, you have, you struggled to fill your time,
but maybe you should start struggling to fill your holes.
Basically like anal training, sizing up the gauge of the plugs and just see how
far you can get.
Plugs.
Yeah.
But Miles, let's get back to the, you know,
again, the most important thing, which is fatherhood.
I do want to, just really quickly, and sorry,
but I do want to say to Amir,
it feels like you just need other hobbies.
Yeah, my hobby is watching basketball,
which right now takes a lot of time
because there's the playoffs.
But come July, I'll be like,
uh-oh oh i don't
like baseball and that's pretty much it i don't really watch a lot of television or movies either
so i need to find a way to fill my six to admit what about cooking i feel like you'd be good at
like cooking yeah you can make a filet yeah i mean y'all yeah i've gotten a little bit better
during the pandemic for sure but i
haven't like really stretched my limits i'm not making like too much complicated things it's
mostly baking slash cast iron skilleting meat putting vegetables either in that pan or in the
oven yeah i can sort of kick that up a notch what about zionina seems hard? You should get good at just baking.
Yeah,
like flan.
Oh,
flan is not really
something you bake,
is it?
Well,
if you want to make it
in the Basque fashion.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to say
like cookies
just start off
easy,
right?
Yeah.
Seven layer bar.
Maybe I love
I love cookies, but
I don't want to have like, the problem with
baking is like you have so many of them around
and then you're just eating
them all yourself. It's a little
indulgent. That's why you bake for people.
Bring them into the office. Yeah, that would be nice.
I do, I mean, yeah.
I'm sort of a cook. I made
steak and eggs the other day and that was kind of good.
Steak and eggs is not a good meal, I would say.
Really?
I think it's gross. It's too much animal.
Really? Wow. Say more.
How did you cook both the steak and the eggs?
Well, I've been freezing meats for a while because
my mother-in-law took us
to Costco.
That's the opposite. Yeah, she took
us to Costco and she said,
we had really good steaks there. So she
kind of bought us a bunch of steaks. I sliced them all up,
put them in the freezer,
and six and a half months later, I made
a steak and eggs.
And potatoes.
It also frees the eggs.
The eggs are, of course, frozen.
It's an egg custard cold.
Yeah.
A savory egg custard?
A savory egg ice.
Like a slurpee?
Like a Luigi's Italian.
In the plastic cup.
Yeah.
You've said nothing of fatherhood other than
flam. Well, I'm a dad now. Yeah, you haven't asked me
really anything of substance, but I'm a dad.
Do you find yourself
sighing when you sit down? Is that fair
to ask? I'm very
tired, obviously.
Why is that obvious? Because of the baby.
Okay.
So he sort of has trouble
sleeping. Listen,
do you want some unsolicited advice?
You want to let me finish?
You sound like every
lover I've ever had.
Continue.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah, no, it's really good.
He's really chunky and cute.
He's been learning to laugh recently, which is good.
So we're sort of running a little circus here,
doing anything we can to sort of sing a song
that's going to make him laugh or
shake a toy at him and he
thinks that's funny.
Yeah.
But it's going good. I think we're
sort of slowly lifting from the
fog that is the first
couple months.
Jeff, you
aren't paying attention.
This was the segment you planned.
Yeah, here we go.
Well, that's it.
It happened so fast.
Yeah, I think he's editing it.
Well, was that for the editor?
I would host a podcast.
We're only 14 minutes into this,
so we wouldn't be ready for an ad break, right?
Question mark.
I guess.
Yeah, it's in the zone,
but I was also sort of joking he's kind of kidding around
um
have you named the guy yet
of course
why is that of course happens instantly
I didn't get my name until I was nine
what did they call you before that
what did they call you
untitled
untitled Jeff's mom project.
Untitled Liz James project.
We have named him. You ready for the name?
Yep.
Jeffrey Marika Amir.
Not Ponce de Lloris.
Bloominly.
Oh my god.
Bloominly?
You named him after an app you wanted to design. Bloomin' Lee. Oh my god. Bloomin' Lee? You named him after an app you wanted to design.
Bloomin' Lee.
It's a flower app
where you take a picture.
It's like musically...
Ron Ong in Bonsignor.
No, his name is Julian.
Right now we call him Baby JJ.
Baby JJ?
Baby JJ.
Do you sing Hey Jude to him
because of Julian Lennon?
We don't,
but we could. Faster, like respond
faster for the pacing of the show,
right? Like you kind of took a...
Yeah, sorry.
John Mulaney's new Netflix
comedy special. It's called Baby J.
It doesn't matter.
No, because this whole thing is the same
shtick over and over again, right? You have to reinvent
yourself. All of the rice, that took a whole
reinvention personally.
I had to go and I was not in Germany.
Do you think his going to rehab
and then having a child isn't
reinventing himself enough?
I guess we should have gotten him then for the fatherhood thing
because then it could have been Miles and Mulaney.
I mean, that'd be huge for me career-wise.
But I will say,
when Sarah was pregnant,
to amp myself up for parenthood,
I would sometimes look at Olivia Munn's Instagram.
Why?
Yeah, I'd love a little more of that.
Because she's a mother.
Because she's a mother.
And she would have pictures of John Mulaney. John Mulaney is too cool to kind of post
like parenting photos
but Olivia Munn's posting and it's like
them watching Bosch
and that was cool
you're like hell yeah
they're cool people
who are parents and I want to be
that I don't want to be like somebody I don't want to be somebody who's just
a parent and that's kind of the whole thing.
Yeah. Well, on that subject,
shut the fuck up, Amir. On that subject,
I had a question.
Oh my god.
You're so mean to me.
You're so mean.
You're so mean.
What does Jennifer Coolidge
say to that fortune teller?
Oh yeah, Amitabh just yelled at you.
You're so negative.
Shut that clip out and use it as a sound.
You're so negative.
I'll put it in right here.
Okay.
Do you want some unsolicited parenting advice, Miles?
And I know I'm not a parent.
From you?
No, I know I'm not a parent, and that is apparent, but I just want to...
Sometimes it's good to get that new perspective, right?
Just like in relationships, right?
In relationships, you don't want to need the other person but you should
deeply want the other person that's where romance comes in that's where codependence is impossible
right so i'm just fearing because it sounds like you've been spending a lot of the time
maybe most of your time with a little fucker yeah that maybe you should foster your other hobbies. Maybe you should go out to the club,
have a table, have some bottles,
and let him do his thing
just so that he's not dependent on you.
Does that make sense?
Well, I like where this is headed
because I do think it's important to have a sense of identity
outside of your relationship, outside of your child.
Exactly right, yeah.
But I think the part that is curious to me is that are you going to the
club and getting bottles and grinding and twerking and having that
experience? Cause that does not seem appealing to me.
I don't do that. No, that's not fun to me.
What would be fun to you going Going to a local hot spot?
A dinner.
A dinner would be good. Yeah. Dinner oysters with a Negroni and maybe steak frites with some fries.
That actually, though, does sound really good. I just got excited because that is right up my alley.
Negroni is my favorite drink. Oysters are my favorite soup.
Steak frites is basically steak and eggs,
but you know,
minus one.
I,
yeah,
yeah.
I,
when I,
I just,
I love,
you know,
it's nice to do a dinner with like eight friends and you're all cracking up.
You're getting a little tipsy,
but you get to get,
you get,
you're in bed by midnight.
Oh my God.
Wanking it.
Absolutely.
Jacking it.
What kind of search terms are you up to?
Miles Bonsignore feet.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Guys, taking care of your health isn't always easy, right?
But it should be simple.
That's why for the last three years I've been taking AG1,
just one scoop and a cup of water mixed around every day, no exceptions.
And it helps me feel, you know, energized, focused, ready to take on the day. Like I'm doing one powerfully healthy habit
that's also powerfully simple.
I know that AG1 gives my body high quality nutrition
because every batch goes through a rigorous testing process
so that you know it's safe.
And their ingredients are sourced for potency,
absorption, and nutrient density,
all of which is very important
and you don't always get with other
leading nutrition brands. I like to drink it first thing in the morning. I'll have a glass of water.
I'll have my AG1 and then I'll have my coffee and it gets me set off to take on the day and to be
centered and to feel like I did at least one good thing for my health. And if you do that every day,
it has compounding effects.
If there's one product I had to recommend to elevate your health, it's AG1.
That's why we partnered with them for so long.
So if you want to take ownership of your health, start with AG1.
Try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D3K2
and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase
exclusively at drinkag1.com slash what's that? Again, that at drinkag1.com slash what's that?

My Zoom just died.
I have to put new batteries in my Zoom. So use it or lose it, I guess.
No wall power, huh?
He'll never know.
All right, let's see.
Just a little curious.
We're not using USB power on this one.
Yeah, he's right by a wall, definitely.
At least.
On to the week.
Who do you guys got?
Sadie Sink.
Wasn't she awful in The Whale?
Are you fucking dumb?
Sorry, I thought she was great in The Whale
and she's great in Stranger Thing.
And I think that she's going to be the next star.
I think she's going to be huge
now that she has, you know,
what's his name
on her side
who?
Brandon
you think
you think anytime that someone
starts a movie with someone else
they're like on their side
I kind of think that yeah they're a team up
like a celebrity team up when Loki
sort of did
Thor I think that, yeah, they're a team up, like a celebrity team up when Loki sort of did Thor.
Jeff, you keep sipping from a cup,
and I'm just a little curious about it.
So what time this...
You went to Blue Bottle,
and you sort of got what this morning
before returning to your girlfriend's home
to record this?
Bright.
A cold brew bright blend, 16 ounce.
And it wasn't, I didn't walk to Blue Bottle.
It was in the fridge from a previous time.
Oh, what?
No, it's good.
Day old cold brew in a paper cup.
Cold brew is like wine, man.
Yeah, it would erode paper.
Really?
Yeah.
My Bond of the Week is Sandy.
From Succession.
What?
Sandy from Succession.
I watched the show.
I can't think.
Larry Pine.
He tried to stage the hostile takeover in season two.
Right.
Right.
Pine.
What?
I think he'd be kind of interesting.
Sandy is the old
guy. Yes.
Marika,
like, let's keep
shit going. Let's not let
Amir's fuck up.
Change the pace.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I guess mine's
gonna be
in that same vein
um
sorry Amir's
doing some sort of performance
art with his lights right now
it's a little striking
yeah
doing shadow puppets actually now I'm gonna change it Where there's lights right now, it's a little distracting. Yeah.
Doing shadow puppets. Doing shadow puppets, yeah.
Actually, now I'm going to change it.
My Bond of the Week is going to be the shadow puppets when we're adjusted.
That's good.
It's time for...
We can't hear you, dumbass.
Okay, let's move on.
Twitter verification went the way of Rosamund Pike.
It's gone, girl.
Yep. Yep.
Yep.
We lost.
Do we comment on that?
Is that our opportunity to sort of chime in,
or is that our opportunity to give notes?
Either, I think.
Yeah, either, I guess.
Ideally praise, but yeah.
To me, Rosamund Pike is not
viral you talked about going viral
Rosamund Pike is not going
viral right now
and I kind of think that it's a dated
reference for something that just happened
yeah okay
I think that's a good note
um
it could be like, you know,
it's going like it times the nighttime.
It could be like...
Addison, rays of sun.
Yeah, it could be like...
It could be like the stanky leg
yeah do the stanky leg
that's a little more recent
I don't think it is
I don't think so
are you guys gonna pay for twitter verification
no cause I think I'd be shamed for it.
Yeah, it's now sort of a scarlet
letter, a badge of dishonor.
Sure. So what are better
ways to spend $8 a month?
Because I would say
me and Riley's Patreon,
which is still going.
Yeah, I guess.
Miles' Patreon.
That's right. You could pop on there.
Perfect person premium premium perfect person platinum
you could also probably pay for like
Hulu with ads which I just kind of think is a bad
service but
I think it's probably worth the $7
go further back from your
camera
I didn't like that at all
that's so much better uh this is just a funny
headline the starship rocket exploded so why did spacex cheer
did they i didn't read the article i will say that one of my favorite things is that Andrew Pyle, our CTO, often posts video footage of rocket launches and is excited in our Slack.
He's like, the biggest rocket ever is about to launch.
And he did that with this one.
And then 15 minutes later said it blew up.
Wow.
And that's really just how I get my
rocket news.
Word of the day?
Word of the goddamn day. It's back.
What was it?
I
definitely said that before.
I didn't hear it. Not at the right time.
Not at the right time.
My ears were ready to hear the I word.
Uh-huh.
All right.
Here we go.
I recently found IDR Labs, right is individual differences research and they have um
various tests uh they have this uh drama test which is about how we all play victim rescuer
persecutor in regard to human drama uh and then there's like marines test which is like could you
figure shit out in the marines there's also the anger test which i think would be good for marika
um so i don't want to take the poo test yeah okay it's not about uh which it's just gonna
match your personality with a winnie the pooh character, which is a borderline BuzzFeed article.
I wanted y'all to pick out one of these and we'll just do it.
I have a question first. Do you have IMDb Pro bookmarked because you're sort of seeing if your credits have updated?
Or are you just going there carte blanche to kind of see who is who?
I like to keep up with the star meter.
I like to see who's the most famous people in Hollyweird.
And yet you made a Rosamund Pike reference.
Well, I like to keep it between 50,000 and 100,000.
You should try to keep it 100.
That's really funny.
No, it's not because it doesn't mean anything.
Like, what did you mean, Amir?
Elaborate. Like you said, you like to keep it between 50, it's not, because it doesn't mean anything. What did you mean, Amir? Elaborate.
You said you like to keep it between
50,000 and 100,000. I was like,
you should try to keep it 100.
So it was a joke.
Yeah, keep it a bean.
Let's do this shit.
What do you guys want to do?
I guess the Nazi one. Let's do the Nazi one. Let's not do that.
Let's not do that.
Should we do the...
I feel like you scrolled by a bunch of good ones.
We could do the South Park test. That's funny.
How big of a beefcake are you?
That's not funny.
We want to do the psychopath test.
That's kind of cool.
We can sort of uncover what Jeff's
inner workings are. That's kind of cool. We can sort of uncover what Jeff's kind of inner workings are.
That's cool.
By the way, you couldn't do this episode without
Miles, but it seems pretty generic.
Alright, let's see. Ready? Yeah, I'm a little confused
about that. There was parents test right at the top.
Yeah.
That's why you went to the side.
Okay, here.
Why don't you guys do this for me?
Okay.
I want to assess someone I know.
Yeah.
Next.
Person has a grandiose sense of self-worth.
I mean, yeah.
It applies very well.
It applies very well.
I think the IMDb Pro on the bookmark tab sort of answers that.
Easy or unconstrained.
I feel like those are
kind of opposite things to me.
Yeah, he's not like, he's very
purposeful and trying
to do stuff, so it doesn't seem
easy. It seems like he's sort of
fighting against it.
But unconstrained feels
like he makes plans
and then drops them.
Right. Which one is the,
which one is bad?
Should we do does not apply or applies very well?
I basically want to be like,
he's not easy or unconstrained.
It does not apply.
I think.
Yeah.
This is so fucked up.
Pathological liar.
I mean,
he did cancel the show and he said that he texted me and stuff.
So I didn't say that I texted you.
I said,
I hadn't texted you.
I was honest.
I just wasn't smart about it. Yeah. I said I hadn't texted you. I was honest. I just wasn't smart about it.
I'd say it does not apply.
Yeah.
Not pathologically.
Yeah.
This person lives like a parasite on others.
They never pay back.
Cynically exploiting others for favors.
I mean, I would say, yeah.
He does sort of do social mind games. So you think I'm like a cancer. Yeah. back cynically splitting others for favors I mean I would say yeah like he does
sort of do
social mind
games so you
think I'm like a
cancer yeah
yeah I'm not a
cancer
parasite
parasite
yeah
elite
easier
yeah
this person has
poor behavioral
controls and
finds it hard to
keep their
impulses in
check
I mean that
feels open
partially yeah all right I'd say it applies partially.
Yeah.
All right.
I'd say this does not apply.
All right.
This person has a history of juvenile delinquency
and or crime.
Have you ever been arrested?
I got a ticket for drinking in public in Williamsburg.
Let's go apply partially.
Yeah, partially. The person has had many
serious romantic relationships that have fallen
apart after a short time.
I don't know if you guys know me well enough to answer
this question. Yeah, what's the answer here?
No.
Yeah, I was going to say no.
What does that say about you that the people
who are closest to you that you work with
don't know you well enough?
A liar?
I don't know. I wouldn't say you guys are like my closest
friends. Wow.
I love all you guys except for
Amir, but I want to
I like to keep things separate.
What does that mean?
That means I'm a Scorpio moon.
Let's do applies partially.
Are you Scorpio sun and moon?
No, I'm a Sag sun.
Scorpio moon.
I like to call myself a Trojan horse.
I'm Sag rising.
And I'm sad of you rising.
This person has a habit of blaming others for their own problems.
Obviously.
You just blamed Mercury on the fact that you just didn't read your own calendar invite.
This person has at some point in their life been given a mild reprimand or warning by the authorities on the condition that they did not repeat their offense.
Yet they ended up repeating the offense anyway.
I mean, I think the scheduling thing
had been kind of repeated.
You took him to court.
Yeah.
Took him to court.
Applies very well.
Moving on.
I think Jeff has goals.
No, this applies very well.
Absolutely.
I keep getting Instagram recommendations
for Rodney's closet.
Wait, but that means he has realistic...
Oh, realistic, I see.
I think Jeff has long-term goals.
They're just not realistic, if that makes sense.
What are some of those goals, Jeff?
I guess I'm curious.
Maybe this is a situation
where we can deepen our relationship.
I don't think so, because I think they're embarrassing to talk about. And I like to
move in silence like lasagna. What? Like you wanted to... I mean, the CBS,
you were sort of on a CBS thing. Sure. But that's a one-off. We live in a gig economy.
So it's like, just because you do that doesn't mean anything else is ever going to happen.
You got hired through Lyft to do that? I got high in a Lyft to do that.
Okay.
happen. You got hired through Lyft to do that? I got high in a Lyft
to do that.
The person has an excessive need for
stimulation and is prone to boredom.
Applies very well.
The person has often tricked, conned,
or manipulated people.
Applies very well.
I don't know. I'd say it does not
apply. I mean, getting people on
the show, Venmoing their money, asking
their money back,
it's all just sort of...
Let's do applies partially.
This person is overly impulsive.
I'd say
applies very well.
The person generally evades responsibility
and does not answer to anyone in their life.
That's probably the most, right?
The person is characterized by shallow
emotional responses.
I'd say, I don't
know. I think that doesn't apply.
Well, the fact that he doesn't want to
answer any serious questions on the show
but he asks very intense. But that's because it's
in public. I'll answer you guys in
private.
You said you want to keep the thing
separate. You're trying to derail the show.
No, I just thought.
Say does not apply.
That's a relevant question.
The person displays a lack of remorse
or guilt. Yeah, you did
say sorry earlier, so.
The person has a history of... Why'd you say does not apply?
A lack
of remorse. You said I did say sorry.
Oh, God.
Kind of a double negative.
The person has a history of promiscuous sexual behavior.
Yeah.
Well, you told me you're at Bird's trying to pick up every night.
But you can say anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What is that? It's like a boom anything. Yeah. Yeah. What is that?
I'm holding a boombox.
I can say anything.
Nice.
Again.
Maybe check in IMDb Pro a little sooner.
A person has a history of exhibiting cruelty to others.
Is leaving seafood on my front door cruel
no
I say doesn't apply
Miles you've been the tiebreaker
this whole time
I mean I don't know you that well
but every time
well let's hang on
for
for what I mean you seem like every time I've seen you I haven't For... For what?
For what?
I mean, you seem like every time I've seen you,
I haven't really witnessed you doing anything cruel, necessarily.
It does not apply.
The person has broken many different types of law.
That's not...
This, I'll say, does not apply.
Yeah, I don't think so.
It doesn't apply.
Let's see.
Whoa.
This makes the person you rated 48% more psychopathic than the average person.
That being said, he does not qualify as a psychopath on the psychopathy checklist.
And honestly, your highest one
is just lifestyle.
Oh, wait. Sorry.
Yeah.
Can't hear it at all.
By the way, you're definitely a lot closer.
You're really close to the threshold
and really above average.
Well, that's because half of those jokes
you guys skewed the
answers.
I'm not promiscuous.
I made for life.
Like a
penguin?
That doesn't mean anything.
Ha ha ha!
Um...
Um...
Um...
We're not going gonna take any other
apparently not
I'll take the poo one and let you guys know
who I am
I am curious about that
you guys want to do another test
I don't know man it's your
it's your deal
it's my deal
do you have anything else planned?
I did. This was the one that was contingent on Miles.
Oh, this is the one.
Okay.
Welcome to Miles Smiles.
Is there more or is it just that?
It is basically going to be
we're going to go one by one and see who can make
a genuine smile
crawl across your visage.
And you can't play into it.
Like, truly, we have to
make you experience
a dopamine release.
Okay, cool. Does that make sense?
That's really nice, man. Let's start
with Marika.
That's
cruel.
I don't know if I need to go with genuinely nice
or funny but I'll go with genuinely
nice which is that
every time one of Miles'
TikToks pops up on my feed
oh no
she's doing really well
she's smiling
that's very nice
that's very nice of you
I appreciate that
you're welcome
Miles
alright well hang on
I have to wash off
the joy that Marika gave me
yeah you need like a palate cleanser
think of like a sad animal
or something yeah Yeah, like
my dog. I was like pissed. Okay. Yeah.
Alright.
Miles,
I think I'd like to take you
out for the aforementioned
friends dinner
where we go to L&E
Oyster Bar. We both
get Negronis and maybe some of our other friends
are there. Maybe you meet some new faces. I'm not sure. You seem like an extroverted guy. Maybe you
meet some new friends, people you would vibe with. We're getting the fries. We're dipping
them in mayo and then ketchup. We're getting the lobster rolls. You get the hot. I get the cold we split them and we have half of each right and to wash it all down
not on the menu but we ask them to blend ice cream into a milkshake and we also bring our
own malted milk powder so you're gonna get fucking diarrhea you're eating hot lobster and
a milkshake that you made them make with malt powder. And cold lobster
apparently. Hot
and cold and we split them.
You almost
got a smile out of them and then it
quickly turned to disgust.
I know. I was kind of like psyched at
first, to be honest. And then I think
that the lobster... I started panicking
when I got to dessert.
It was long before dessert.
Fine, let's just go to
Lapu Bell, alright, in Franklin Village
and let's get a quinoa and then a carafe of wine.
And let's toast to all the good times we've had
and to all the bad times we've had.
Wait, what was it?
We've had a all the, uh, wait, what was it? Um,
we've had a lager drink.
We've had another,
what's that fucking song.
I fucked this up.
We had a whiskey drink.
We had a lot.
We had a vodka drink.
We had another drink.
So we'll have an old fashioned or rather a bold fashion because it's going to
be made with way.
And then we're going to have a beer and then we're going to have, uh, I don't know, I guess a martini. And then we're going to have
another drink, which that one is kind of a flex spot. You can have whatever you want at this
point. We'll be drunk and we'll be dancing. We're just going to be dancing and shaking our asses
like that one viral dog. I fucked this up. I panicked again because you're not showing any
signs of life, any signs of joy. I feel like I did smile a couple times in there, but then you described us getting blacked out
on some sort of weekday
after a shrimp and lobster buffet,
which I like.
Again, I do want to hang out.
You don't want to take a risk after drinking a bisque?
I mean, I preferably would not like to have bisque
before I have a martini, but I guess we could.
So this bourbon made out of whey?
Yeah.
That was an attempt to make you smile.
Yeah, the whole fucking game was an attempt to make you smile.
You don't have to explain why you did it.
Amir, let's hear from you.
Clearly, Marika's in first.
Did you ever know that you're my old?
You're everything I would bond, senior.
If I could have my miles in a burrito
Then I would eat Ponsi Mior today
Sorry, it's not me.
You got me.
You didn't have me at first.
Or even at the end.
I think Marika won by a landslide.
And I don't even remember what she said.
Yeah, Marika did just a nice...
She just said a nice compliment, genuinely.
Oh, yeah.
I like your fucking TikToks or whatever.
That doesn't sound genuine at all.
It's so aggressive.
I will say that, Miles,
your segment on the 24-hour live stream was the funniest segment, not only of the live stream, but of the month.
Oh, wow. That's really nice.
Honestly, is there a place that I can watch that?
I thought that...
The footage was lost.
Clugs! What do you guys have going on?
What do you want to point the people towards?
Let's start with Miles because he's our guest.
He's our guest.
Let's see if he has anything to plug. Yeah, let's hear what he says.
Check out my show, Perfect Person.
It's a call-and-advice show on the HeadGum Network.
There's a lot of fun episodes.
And if you like the show,
I have a Patreon where I do bonus episodes,
and I just did the 420 Bongcast,
where I got a little stoned,
and I took calls from stoners on 420's Eve,
and they had sort of stoner conundrums
that I solved on the show.
So check out Perfect Person.
I guess my TikToks, too, have gotten a lot of namesay today.
So you can check that out too.
Jess, did you get high yesterday on 420?
I don't do drugs.
Is that true?
I just don't want to influence anybody.
You think that this show is so clean
that you're such a good influence like Cart Blanche
that you saying you do drugs would
be surprising to people?
What is it about me that
makes people think I do drugs?
The man bun and the sunglasses.
What about my airs?
Your what?
The airs that I put on, like my general air.
I think...
Sorry, shut the fuck up. Do you think I'm a Cheshire man
Yes
Is that like Cheshire cat
Yeah
Marika did you get high last night
Uh
No
Alright
And I want to be clear I don't always get
Stoned it's just that No I mean you've made your point All right. And I want to be clear. I don't always get stoned.
It's just that...
No, I mean, you've made your point.
Like everyone should do every single drug
they can get their fucking dirty little grabbers on.
I didn't say that.
And they should treat weed as much as,
you know, the same as fentanyl recreationally.
Did not say that.
Whoa, I didn't say that.
But I think that it can be sometimes a good way to relax.
But I have a baby,
so I can't really get ultra-stoned anymore
because even if I have the evening to myself,
I often have to wake up the next morning to care for my kin.
I wasn't going to say anything, but yeah,
it's good that you brought that up.
Absolutely.
I did have CBD to go to sleep.
We got to figure this shit out we gotta wrap this up
we gotta make next week feel differently than this
because the last thing I wanted to hear on this Friday
was Marie being like
I did have CBD at Jeffrey James on Instagram
at Jeff Boyardee on Twitter
and
yeah that's it
Amir what do you got
actually
sorry continue
you ever know that you're my old?
You're everything I would bone senior.
If I could have miles in a burrito,
then you I would
eat bone senior
today.
Fly.
What was your plug?
Oh, plugs. I'm on TikTok.
Okay. That's there. that was a
Hidgum original
