SPEAKER_04

Welcome back to Hee Hee Hee.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, so this weekend you were out of town. You needed us to feed your cats. I'm just picking up where we left off before we started. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I uh it's my least favorite thing to ask for, but the thing I need the most is uh people to watch my just feed my cats. It's not like a dog where you gotta go give them too much attention uh and you know take them outside or anything. You just and you guys are nice enough to drop by and feed them when you can. Uh but no one was available uh Friday, Saturday, which with a cat I think you can do. Which is rare because you have three, at least probably that I know of, three. I have uh people to hit on I have four now. Yeah. And one of them was on the root trip with me, uh Olivia. And then uh and then you guys were both busy Friday, Saturday, and uh Tony Deo, who also has keys, uh was gone Friday, Saturday.

SPEAKER_05

You were busy?

SPEAKER_01

Friday was my uh God damn it. Yeah, that went right over my head. That's good. No, it was You were busy?

SPEAKER_04

It was your anniversary.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's my one year.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Oh okay. So you two went on a little we'll get back to that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

They had dinner in uh Astoria and uh he was too busy to stop.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they cooked dinner in your house.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, and my cats were like to your bodega and got food and then This is bothering me.

SPEAKER_06

Can you take that piece? No, no, no. There's something stuck in your shoe. Wow, is that for later in case you get hungry?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this is that a dog turn? No, it's those little like pine things that you step- from trees. You step on. Oh, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_04

Those look like ma I always thought those look like maces.

SPEAKER_06

Uh I just you're unpredictable with stuff like that with that in your hand. I just did I was I just want you to put it.

SPEAKER_04

I'm a toddler, just like Scott peeked in to see the gold that we do uh on the show here.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, he opened it, he's like, nah, nothing to see here. He walked back out. So uh I started off with uh feeding the cats Thursday.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Well he fed them Wednesday. Oh uh I left early Wednesday, uh like super early Wednesday, and then uh yeah, you fed them Thursday. Uh both of you fed you fed them twice Wednesday? Yeah. And okay, so they had you know three. I did a double Thursday as well. You did a double Thursday, thank you. Yeah, I didn't know that you I obviously appreciate you too, but I thought you did once.

SPEAKER_06

Uh and uh I was feeling generous to the cats. I was like so.

SPEAKER_01

Next time I should tell you I'm only doing one and then pop in twice. That's what I'm learning today, all right? That's what I'm learning right now.

SPEAKER_06

Uh I look, I get paid in just knowing that you feel peace about the cats and in the money, uh and in the money in my Venmo after.

SPEAKER_04

I know the highest currency for you is that it drives you know that it uh like takes a social wear on me. The uh the favor you like when you do someone a favor. And for me, I'm having that on the biggest favor you can do for me, and you have you have a lot on me. And uh they weren't fed Friday, Saturday. Uh he had his anniversary. You were on the road. Um for his anniversary, they posted a bunch of pictures. One of them was with my cat that he didn't feed, but uh on Friday. Uh really posted a photo. I no, just I just thought I saw an opportunity to do a stupid bit. I took it. Uh but yeah, they they're alive and and well. And we were talking about this before uh before we started recording. Uh I have a camera in my apartment.

SPEAKER_01

And uh Right, and it's in the it's in the living.

SPEAKER_06

And guess what? I didn't take my dick out until I found out there was a camera.

SPEAKER_04

So he texts me one. This is like a year ago now, I think. Probably, yeah. And he goes, Is your camera a live feed? And I immediately logged into the camera, and he's standing there looking at it from the kitchen.

SPEAKER_06

With my dick out. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

There's no way he would have had you log on if his dick was not out. There's no way he'd waste your time.

SPEAKER_04

For some reason, I feel like mine. And then you were talking to me on the camera or on the phone? On the phone. And uh he's out of view of the camera, and I'm not gonna tell you where the blind spots are, but uh, he's out of view of the camera, and then he starts coughing, and he goes, and I'm like, what? He goes, I tried a little bit of the cat food. Uh you couldn't pay me. Was it it that has I was paying him, but you that's not what I was paying him for.

SPEAKER_01

Well, cat food, even just consistency alone is not up your alley. The only consistency is that it's yucky every time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

This one in particular was it was calling my attention. Or calling my nature. Was it dry or wet? I think it was dry. I don't think I would ever try the wet one. That's what I think I heard you were trying. Um the wet the wet one.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I thought you were trying.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, not even close to appetizing.

SPEAKER_04

I just kind of like dry heaved on that.

SPEAKER_06

It may have been a cat treat. It may have been a treat. I don't know if I did the Oh in the in the box, yeah. Something.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you wanted to be.

SPEAKER_05

I deserve something. I fed the cat. Sorry, I I did good.

SPEAKER_04

They go ape shit for it. I got a new toy for him. Man, this is what you have to look forward to uh when you have uh pets and nothing no one else. But uh just kidding if you're girlfriend, yeah. Just kidding if you're listening. Uh she probably won't. Uh that reads make her uncomfortable. But uh the uh uh but the uh I got the toy where you put the treats in it and and they have to like figure out how to get it out. Okay. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I thought about getting one of those for for just dog. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Well, let me finish about the oh sorry. Well, it looked I I've I've always tried pet foods. When uh like dog, whatever. If if it looks like some dog treats look really By the way, we're gonna find out who watches this and is racist.

SPEAKER_04

The comments are gonna be knew it.

SPEAKER_06

Well, that's not the stereotype of Chinese people. Uh that's fair. It's the that we eat the animals, yeah. Right?

SPEAKER_01

You are what you eat eats. Okay. Well done.

SPEAKER_06

We tried to do this, not about my race, but here we are, huh?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I can't wait to read this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But I'm sure I'm sure that race was never part of your strategy for today. I mean, it wasn't this early.

SPEAKER_01

What's been your favorite?

SPEAKER_06

Um I would say almost all of them have been bad. I probably all of them. I can't remember one being good. But I'm always curious. So sometimes a dog biscuit looks really like a real cookie. So I'll take a bite. Always nasty. Um, the cat thing, I took a bite, and that was particularly nasty. It really did it leave my mouth for like bad every single time. Do you think especially began strips like a begging treat? Yeah, yeah. Bacon? I'm like, oh, we gotta see what this is about, and it's not good.

SPEAKER_01

Are you is you think there's a a dishonesty in that? Like the company's selling it as if it tastes like bacon and it tastes nothing like bacon.

SPEAKER_06

I think the dog true I mean, clearly the animals truly.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's a trick us. I think they're why is it to trick us? Like we feel like we're giving them something real crazy good.

SPEAKER_06

That's a good that's a valid theory that it's made for our psychology more than the animals, right?

SPEAKER_01

But it's it's just like a work too well on you.

SPEAKER_04

The manufacturer is like, we weren't going for that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, guys, let's dial it back a little bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Uh we just I just saw a guy eat them in his car in traffic. We're getting the humans now.

SPEAKER_06

We gotta uh yeah. Um so, but I am always curious. I'm always curious about I'm not afraid to try things like say, you know, you've seen the foods I eat.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

There's regular human food I'll never try. You're way past that. That's probably that'd be a funny series that I don't know if anyone's done where you review pet treats and pet food. You're like nasty again.

SPEAKER_06

You know what? This one's also bad.

SPEAKER_01

Another zero out of ten.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Uh so that's all. Although, yeah, then there's pet foods I don't think I'll ever try. Like fish food just smells nasty. There's it's the little flakes, yeah. Yeah. It smells fishy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

You know?

SPEAKER_04

So interesting.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So I've had a milk bone before. Like the dog treat those milk bones. So you know what I'm talking about. It was it was years ago. A friend of mine uh at the time would just eat them. What? He just ate what is he ate the milk bone.

SPEAKER_04

Is this a thing that people are doing?

SPEAKER_01

No, it's it's not. Because as someone who's not.

SPEAKER_04

I'm not good at math. It's the majority of this podcast as he in a dog.

SPEAKER_01

A lot of the people I grew up with did things that not a lot of other people do. But one of them was a guy who ate milk bones. For a treat. I'm sorry, that's a that's something.

SPEAKER_04

That line right there is a whole area of for a treat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, like we went into his room and he had him like a box of cheeses you'd have on like the side of your computer desk, but it was milk bones.

SPEAKER_06

That's insane.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I was like, well, it's worth trying that if he's just eating them on the regular. Uh-huh. And yeah, it's fucking nasty.

SPEAKER_04

Did he do other things that you were like, I should I should if he does like that you trusted this guy?

SPEAKER_01

Uh nothing else crazy enough.

SPEAKER_06

He would scratch himself behind the ear with his leg.

SPEAKER_04

I had I had that loaded up. I'm so glad you did it. I would put peanut butter on my balls and no, I mean Yeah. Sometimes I'd come over and hang out and he could smell other friends on me.

SPEAKER_01

Uh that was probably the most out there thing that uh he did. I mean, he was into Legos, but that's not like a red flag or anything. For most people.

SPEAKER_06

He was into Legos.

SPEAKER_01

You know.

SPEAKER_06

Alright. So you had an anniversary uh that was fun, right?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I mean, almost no. What? Uh almost uh sorry, this is so funny.

SPEAKER_04

All right. Anniversary, that was fun, right? Oh man, all right. Why was it not fun? Well, it was uh it's it was my fault. I oh we we weren't curious about that part.

SPEAKER_01

Well, um it ended up being uh great. We it was actually the so the day before on Thursday, I was over uh Jess's place and she's like, I wanna like we got each other stuff, and yeah. Like, all right, let's do it. Uh let's give it to each other on Thursday. And man, going into this, I really in my head, I was like, I knocked it out of the park. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

Dangerous territory.

SPEAKER_01

And let me because I've I've shared this with a couple other people, and everyone's uh understood where I was coming from, but I can totally see Jess's point. And I totally see Jess's point. So uh Jess, uh she got me uh a couple two NYX hats, and uh there's a pair of sweatpants that I had that have now just become her sweatpants. So she got me a pair of sweatpants and then a card. So uh I got her I They have these little like they're very dumb, but it's basically a letter, but it's about this size. And I wrote her a bunch of tiny letters, and she opened them one by one, and blah blah blah. In the end, there was a dumb joke. Uh you look confused.

SPEAKER_04

I am confused.

SPEAKER_01

It's they're like little they're meant to be like little tiny love letters, but you open them you write it small too? You write it small and you fold it up and it looks like a sealed envelope. But it's a tiny sealed envelope. It's got a little, it's got a stamp, it's got a whole thing. Oh, cool. It's meant to be like a little love letter.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it's like if hamsters were to give each other like a love letter. Yes. Right?

SPEAKER_01

Right. That's like we're both tiny, so here's a little it's like this big? It's it's probably about that big. Wow.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

How big's the letter? I I knew it, you son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_04

Only because you were looking at me? Because I was like, all right, I'll do another one.

SPEAKER_06

That wasn't the original.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't have it ready. I was actually inquisitive, but you were watching me, and I'm like, well, now I'll do one. When I gave it to her, she was like, Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, I okay.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, she's over with this. Can I open it and there's something better inside?

SPEAKER_01

What if we put them all next to each other? So far, so good. I like, I think that's very cute. So far, so good. And so um recently and leading up to it, I we've been I've been trying to get her into the music that I listened to, particularly Springsteen. It started with uh we were talking about Super Bowl performances, and I was making that point about how I don't like how it's only for TV. You can still have a concert. So I played her the Bruce halftime show, and I've been playing it in the car, and I've been kind of she really likes Streets of Philadelphia.

SPEAKER_06

Real quick, Bruce Springsteen. Go ahead. What's one of his what's his like most can you uh guess? Uh born to be born to be wild? Born in the USA. Okay, you born in the USA.

SPEAKER_04

No, keep guessing, but you have uh uh the first word right. You get one more guess. Born in Philadelphia. This is a problem because he is getting he's he's uh in the right genre, so he's doing great.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. But Born in the USA is a Springsteen song.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Isn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's true. It is, but you're thinking Born to Run. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Born to Run is also Born to the Born in the USA is Springsteen, yeah. You know what I was thinking of was uh Little Pink House's which I know is not him, no. But that's what I thought he was singing for. That is a big that's a big one.

SPEAKER_06

So which one's born to run?

SPEAKER_02

Translacus, maybe we were born to run. Damn, damn, damn.

SPEAKER_06

Doesn't ring a bell.

SPEAKER_04

You were still you still did good.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that's one of those that it's one of those recurring like it's about it's a lot about being born.

SPEAKER_01

They played that at uh at the fourth of July and they were playing the fireworks, they played Born in the USA.

SPEAKER_06

Was I there?

SPEAKER_01

I think so.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, okay. No?

SPEAKER_01

What?

SPEAKER_06

At the Coney Island? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

They'll play it uh at 4th of July. He's a big Fourth of July, like you could play a lot of his stuff in the world.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, so I probably know a lot of his songs without knowing. Yes, for sure.

SPEAKER_01

And I think you I think I didn't do a good if I played Born Run, you might know that too. But so I've been she likes Streets of Philadelphia, and uh so he announced a tour. I didn't know this. He's going on tour, he's playing the garden. Two shows. I got online, waited in line. Oh no, they sold out immediately. Like, I got tickets. Wow. And they were it doesn't matter. Yes, it does. So I get tickets, and I'm thinking, like, when I think anniversary, fans it matters. When I think anniversary, I think like a thing that we can do together, you know, and I'm like, yeah. So uh I got those tickets at the same time. I also got J. Cole tickets. I'm a J. Cole fan, she is not. Um, but it was more about the Springsteen. So I tell her, I also made dinner reservations.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. So far, sounds like a home run to me.

SPEAKER_01

I think I see the problem. So I say I got Springsteen tickets, and it was a on-paper positive reaction. But I know Jess.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

And essentially the problem is like, this is kind of a gift for you.

SPEAKER_06

Oh I didn't see the problem.

SPEAKER_01

This is sort of a gift. She didn't say this, but this is my understanding. And later said this. But it's it feels like this is kind of a gift for me. Because I probably would have got the tickets anyway. Which is true, which is true.

SPEAKER_06

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04

I thought it was gonna be uh you went too you did too many things because uh and boy was that not the case. And that was not the case, and now I'm worried that she heard me say sweatpants. Uh but well, that's which would you rather keep?

SPEAKER_06

This, that, or snow foundation.

SPEAKER_04

I mean I can apologize to Jess. I can't apologize to every woman in America.

SPEAKER_01

Like it's uh I could that wasn't really it was more like, hey, here are some things that I thought of I'm thinking of you, yeah, and I'm getting them, which is what she did.

SPEAKER_06

And you're like, I thought of you enjoying me to enjoy a show.

SPEAKER_04

I've heard you could film me dancing to the songs.

SPEAKER_01

It it can be interpreted as like, you know, it's like that Jesselnut joke. It's like uh I really wanted an Xbox, you know, she didn't get it, but I got you an Xbox. It's like that kind of a thing. But I truly was like, I know we will have so much fun together at this, and she might become like a fan of it through that. And I also would have got tickets either way, even if it wasn't our anniversary. So I see where she's coming from. So it was more like she had a positive reaction. I don't want to make it seem like she reacted negatively. It's just like I knew from her reaction that it wasn't it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. So then I immediately got in my head, I got very self-conscious, and then she's like, It's you know, but it's totally like it's gonna be so much fun, it's gonna be great. And then I had been really uh building up this dinner, like this this, I was gonna take her to this place that she's been wanting to go to. It's on her lists, on it's it's her alley. She's like, So where are we going to dinner? I go, we're going to lure. And she was like, What? Oh, and I went, Laura Fishbar. She went, Oh. And I another reaction that was also she this has not been on her list at all. It's just uh I I could have sworn, and we still debate about this, that like the only reason I would have written this down is because she's mentioned it. But what may have happened is I know she loves seafood, it's her favorite food, and I just looked up what's the nicest seafood restaurant. Oh, okay, which it is. It's like a very nice seafood restaurant, and I made a reservation, but it wasn't like a place she had been dying to go to. So now I'm like, I'm feeling bad about the gift, and then I'm like, well, I'm about to save it all with this dinner, and then it's just like, oh, nice. And I'm like, I want to walk into Trav. Yeah, like it really ruined it ruined my night. Uh-huh. Yeah. And so then the next day I was like, I'm not, I was like, I'm canceling the reservation because it's not cheap. And I'm like, I'm not about to, I don't want to go and do this whole big thing if you're not even excited about the place. So what we ended up doing, which I actually think is a move that uh I will do in the future that I think is a nice couple thing to do. She's got so many restaurants that she's saved like on her map. We just went to like a condensed area with a bunch of restaurants. We're like, let's just try to walk into a bunch of places. Oh, that's a good one. Let's just go when they open, see if we can get a seat at the bar. Because all these places, if you just try to go on Resi, you're not getting a reservation weeks out. So we went to this cool uh Indian new Indian place in East Village called Bungalow and just stood outside till they opened. Got a seat at the bar. Uh so she saved it with the dinner place because it was her restaurant. So I really dropped the ball. Uh in my estimation.

SPEAKER_04

I I can't speak to the concert thing because I I see both sides for sure.

SPEAKER_06

But uh I wouldn't have uh at first saw the concert thing until her explanation. Now I do think that yes, it does actually really reasonable. So yeah. I yeah. That was a it's a ball drop in the sense of you I don't think it's some it's something you you can know until you make that mistake. Yeah. Right? I would have made the same mistake probably. You know? I could see myself m writing down the wrong thing about, you know, or whatever Yeah, I don't I truly don't know what happened with the with the restaurant thing.

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was a place that she had mentioned. So what I did after that is I messaged her and I go, go into your Google Maps, send me your list. So I just have it. So she sends me the list and it's got all these restaurants that she saved. She goes, well the thing to know about this list is some of these places I really want to go to. Some of them I just have saved for like client meetings and some are just on there for whatever. And I'm like so what you're telling me is this list really doesn't help me at all. She goes so I still have to go to you is what you're saying. I can't do I can't make any surprises. Right. Because she doesn't she wants me to be like oh what what's a good place and then she picks it. But yeah I'm like the whole point is surprise her and make her yeah. So I go now go through the list and send me all the places that you really want to go to that are impossible to what can I fucking wow you can give me something.

SPEAKER_04

Man because that's I feel like the only thing that I it's one of the things that I like doing that I think I'm good at I like putting that thought most of the time right I like putting that thought in and doing something and I she she sends you the restaurants and it's uh like 10th Avenue freeze out and uh uh glory days and uh uh dancing in the dark uh those are all the the restaurants those are all yeah is it 10th Avenue or 5th 10th Avenue I have a man what's even worse is in the letters I thought about writing Easter eggs to Bruce Springsteen songs throughout the letters thank god I didn't do that because she would have been like what the fuck I can't wait to look back on all our glory days one of the love letters said man I'm gonna I'm gonna have so much fun and here's something that I will really enjoy it's funny because in my relationship my one and only relationship there was there was a little we had our birthdays in the same month and then I went ahead and I knew she liked uh Italian food and then I went and found a pretty like a really a Italian restaurant that I was excited about for sure.

SPEAKER_06

I'm not I don't like I'm I'm not into Italian food but then I found I was like I bet this is that she'll really like this you know so it would never cross my mind to go well it has to be her favorite specific you know thing. I thought like because me I thought it was like the whole thing of like okay I mean well let me take you we're gonna drive there and then you know we'll go and we'll have the thing you know I'll I'm taking care of the evening kind of a thing is like is the is the thing. Yeah. Is the gesture. Yeah. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01

I think I agree with you. I think it depends what it's for. I think if you're just going to dinner the this like because you do that a lot of like here's a thing I want to share with you. Here's a thing I want to show you you know or or introduce you to I think that's cool on the on the regular but if if it's meant to be like a thing that's for like personalized to you like that'd be a weird like Christmas or like birthday gift I guess.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Uh it's weird I don't know I don't know I'm not there yet with to agree with you.

SPEAKER_04

Because it's like maybe it depends on it might depend on the person. There's some things you want to share and show me uh that I'd I'd never want to see again.

SPEAKER_01

Uh and you're like I'm gonna show you whether you like it or not is your camera live feed we've been friends for seven years. What is this? That was you jeans? Is it lifting your skirt? I don't know what you're wearing.

You guessed Freddie G before you guessed Conan Oh no now we have to keep it oh yeah yeah please keep it well I'm not getting it uh professionally framed I can tell you then but uh yeah we got some scotch tape or whatever so you got that made no it was already made what it was on this site it was already some I saw and thought of you guys so you were looking at that thinking what is the reference what is the car orange haired reference to the pod kind of a thing or no yeah I mean I mean I was racking my brain for any connection I could make man I when I saw for the first time I knew exactly what it was and I and I didn't have to read you knew right away that that was Conan in Italy the Jordan Schlansky remote.

SPEAKER_01

Yes well see I knew what not me I saw what are you gonna do I knew that was a reference to when we had that moment on the pot.

SPEAKER_06

I knew that that I didn't that uh after you said it then I knew so what you all you knew is I was holding something made of paper that is yes I mean I was really lost but I knew that uh I that you put thought into this and that's uh good that's all I had I have a picture of uh Bruce Springsteen and I'm gonna go to the US Wow now this must be my anniversary so that's how I felt on Thursday which by the way let me ask you something because I watched this documentary where this mother um walks over to a neighbor's house and then she gets shot and dies and then the cup cops have to come and she's got like four or five kids. Yeah um and then at first they tell they take the mom to the hospital and they go she's gonna be alright okay we're gonna take care of you know they said that to the well the family member uh uh like a neighbor after the mom goes ambulance goes tells the kids don't you worry okay it's all gonna be good and then um you know she dies and then if they have to uh the cops need to break the news to the family to the kid you know um so I was wondering just as a like a thing how would you break that news in and not even funny like how would you do that? Ring ring there's no ringing it's in person.

SPEAKER_04

So wait we're not the how old are the kids the neighbor eleven the neighbor tells the kids they're gonna be fine. Yeah then the cops come later and tell the kids that their mom died. Wait wait wait wait so she the mom goes over to the neighbor's house the neighbor shoots her yeah and now the neighbor's telling a separate neighbor no different neighbor it's not the not the neighborhood so the neighbor on the other side of the house that's what it sounds like okay man that mom went to mom that mom had a 50-50 shot and I didn't mean that to be a pun. Uh uh so all right so we're the cop we're the cop I love the the look of regret as you said it and I I had no intention of making a joke there.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah because this is serious so the cop okay so the neighbor says that so who's the cop who's the kid and who's the neighbor um in this case we don't need the cop anymore right well the cop I think's the one saying that they No no we're gonna have so the cop tells the neighbor first and then the neighbor the neighbor has to come back and say that they were wrong.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

That's the whole No no not even that per per se. You can even forget the part the way I I said that the neighbor told the kid the wrong thing. I just want to see how you would approach telling a child but who am I to the kid?

SPEAKER_01

That's important.

SPEAKER_06

The neighbor the the neighbor who's you know I got your kid your kid plays with the neighbor's kid all the time you know you make you make cookies for him okay well I'm making a batch today.

SPEAKER_04

I need to I need to preface this that I was working out I swear this relates I was working out the other day and uh I hit I went past fatigue level and uh I was doing bench uh with dumbbells and my left arm gave out and the dumbbell landed on my chest uh uh and it hurts to laugh so let's do this segment now all right and you haven't had been in pain at all this whole pod I have slightly but I foresee well a rough road ahead look we all know the gravity of the situation so to laugh would be insensitive in this moment right and we like to show sensitivity towards uh every serious topic yes exactly yeah so um Taylor are you gonna so why don't I be the kid and you're each gonna take a turn on me okay hey come on now all right so um you just you're you're you ring the doorbell and I open the door hey oh okay I'll ring the doorbell ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding come in hey is uh is mom okay uh uh look um I can't get through this all right why do you keep laughing for real yeah starting now is mom okay um look your your your mother went to the hospital uh and uh the doctors did uh everything that they could uh but unfortunately uh your mom didn't make it and that cannot be the way you cannot laugh and then go to a sudden stop but my pool is always open yeah yeah and if you have any more of those cookies I want you to picture this all right I'll do it you living back in Syracuse okay okay I can do it all right I got and you walk into a neighbor kid that you may or may not know I got I got it now yeah okay and you gotta yeah you're a totally different person now in my head I'm just gonna play it like a hey hey Mr does he know he has does he call you Steve yeah okay tell me whatever yeah hey Steve uh hey uh look I just got off the phone with the police uh and uh as you know they took your mom to the hospital and uh I'm really sorry to tell you but they did everything that they could and and your your mother didn't make it and I'm really sorry and I'm here for you my God um yeah I didn't know how to get I I didn't know how to get out of I don't know what to do next.

SPEAKER_06

That's exactly yeah I think you did a great job with that but now I'm and then what is there? I mean obviously the kid's gonna have a reaction and either they break down or they're shocked.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah and obviously I wouldn't laugh in that moment the only reason I laughed there was I was like oh what do you do after you say it yeah there is a heavy I guess empty space. I would make one change is like can we come in can I come in let's go inside and uh uh and talk yeah so that we're sitting down yeah it's the only thing I would change I guess yeah all right from our this are you sitting down is it's like the I feel like the moment you're like anytime you're like do you want to sit do you want to it's you already know maybe not when you're eight when you're eight probably not probably not yeah you know for the rest of your life after that moment yes you know when your girlfriend's like we need to talk oh my god who's dead are you sitting down I it's funny I have I played the neighbors in my head and there's only like one neighbor that I would want to come over and tell me bad news every other neighbor I wouldn't trust to do it well.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah I don't I wasn't really ever close with any of my neighbors okay but before we we go further we might as well say uh uh you know what are you gonna do all right let's give you let you should get a shake at this okay okay I'm I am the neighbor coming over and breaking the news to uh an eight year old that their parent has uh passed yeah okay and let me let me shake it up for you because you you know you saw Steve's kind of the way it is I think that maybe makes it a little maybe too easy.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah so I'd say let's add this um let's throw in both parents okay they b the the same thing happened to them? Yeah uh all right okay so I'm coming hello hey how are you how you doing I I I don't know I'm just worried are they okay?

SPEAKER_00

Uh can I come in? Uh okay why don't you why don't you sit down I didn't know how to tell you this so uh instead I got a cameo of Sebastian Metascauco.

SPEAKER_06

Your mother and father they're gone all right we did what we could I don't know yeah I mean I don't know a serious that was a better series than I thought it would do yeah but it definitely wasn't the best it could be well let's go into our little uh thing here what's this I have some what are you gonna do's uh prepared we can do them after if we have time okay all right this one should be a fast one I think we have not seen this uh and Peter wrote it yes so the one thing we like to do here a lot is I like to write something for all of us to read uh usually it's an it's a fake ad, but today's a little different I wrote a scene for us. Steven and Taylor have not seen this before. This will be them reading it for the first time I remind you two to not read ahead um and we'll just get it started right now okay um ding dong Steven goes to open the door it's a little girl standing there hello who are you my Bonnie is it's me Bonnie what baby it's your wife I threw a coin in a fountain and I switched bodies with a nine year old girl what the hell I know it's crazy there was an old man standing next to the fountain who walked up to me and said this is going to last a whole year Jesus Christ well listen honey whatever this is we're gonna get through it I love you very much Wow ten years into our marriage you continue to amaze me with what an amazing husband you are this is nothing Bonnie I would do anything for you as I'm sure you would do anything for me you're perfect you know that you're perfect oh damn what oh well

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. Well, there's no way we can, right? No, of course not.

SPEAKER_01

I'm in a nine-year-old body. You're thirty-three.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's not gonna work. Especially if you're not okay with it.

SPEAKER_01

Well, first come with me to the bathroom. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

Stephen walked to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_01

Can you get me a ruler?

SPEAKER_04

This better be a misdirect. Oh, sure. I have one in my pocket. What are you gonna do with that ruler?

SPEAKER_01

I want to see if things can work out logistically.

SPEAKER_04

No, let's not do that. I don't even want to picture where this is going. You're right. No, but wait. I have a better idea. Take me to the fountain.

SPEAKER_06

Stephen and Bonnie are now at the fountain.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe you can throw a coin in again with your old body.

SPEAKER_01

No, I can't for a whole year, remember?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, then.

SPEAKER_06

If that's the case, here we go. Steven throws a coin in the fountain. A nine-year-old boy walks up to Bonnie.

SPEAKER_04

Who are you? It's me, Steven. I now I'm now the same age as you. Wow. Steven and Bonnie are at a motel desk.

SPEAKER_06

Hey kids, what are you doing here? We would like one room, please. What? How old are you? We're both nine. Wow. And paying for your own room. Okay, that'll be $53. Here you go. Awesome. Room is that way. You have a great day now. Bonnie and Steven are in the hotel room.

SPEAKER_01

Well, now that we're alone, let's go to sleep and do nothing else. That's right.

SPEAKER_05

The end.

SPEAKER_04

These are these are great. I was terrified. I was absolutely mortified. I think you've I think you've outdone yourself. These are like Alfred Hitchcock like comedies.

SPEAKER_05

Hey, that was do you have a ruler? He has one in his pocket.

SPEAKER_03

Oh man.

SPEAKER_06

That's I was like, what's an object? Just makes you really curious and concerned.

SPEAKER_04

I I mean it worked. I was afraid to keep reading. And and you go, this is a quick one, and then I see there's there's five pages. I was like, oh Lord, we're on page two. Oh man. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01

That was great.

SPEAKER_04

All right. All right. We have some time. Let's do it. So let's do some. What are you gonna do? That's Conan. Uh all right. So this happens.

SPEAKER_06

That is so not. I mean, Jesus Christ, it's so fat. Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04

So uh I was in the elevator. Uh this is all true. I was in the elevator this weekend in Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, and I went and grabbed some sweet green uh uh salad to go, bring it to bring it up into my room. Uh, and uh I get there, and three of the elevators are flashing uh above them, uh lobby, and people are like, Yeah, someone got stuck in that elevator earlier, and now they're all act acting up. So I go into an elevator, and uh another uh there's an older business guy in the elevator with me, and I'm holding the bag of sweet green, and I hit the button, and uh the doors close, and then he looks at me and he goes, sweet green, huh? He goes, I know that place, and I go, Yeah, good stuff. And uh he goes, Are you vegan? And I go, Nope. Uh and then I realized that the elevator's not moving. So I hit the open button and I leave the elevator, and uh, as the doors are closing behind me, I hear him go, I am and then I and then I get another elevator and ride up. All right.

SPEAKER_06

Imagine you waited for the new elevator and he's there. That'll be brutal. And I go!

SPEAKER_04

And I get in the other elevator and I'm hitting the button like fast to get up there. Uh-huh. So, alright. The sin the hypothetical scenario is uh you two are in an elevator. One of you has to be the the weird one. And I think we know who it is.

SPEAKER_06

Taylor.

SPEAKER_04

And it gets uh and and uh I'll narrate.

SPEAKER_06

Um well I it's it's really hard to kind of replicate that. I'll try. I'll see what I can what I can do.

SPEAKER_04

But um Is it the same scenario with food? You can have a different bag of stuff if you want.

SPEAKER_06

How about can I let me try to throw something out and see if it takes, you know? Okay. So I walk in. You're already in the elevator, and then I walk in.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Doors closed. Door is closed. Doors the doors have now closed.

SPEAKER_06

Just have now closed. Okay, just uh snow is cool like crazy out there, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03

It's really coming down.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. I just had to uh shuffle my better to do it early, like now, rather than like later when it's like all ice and stuff and all right.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah, you want to get ahead of it.

SPEAKER_06

Like you do a little now, save you a lot of work later.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Just knock it out, you know.

SPEAKER_04

You see the elevator, is it moving?

SPEAKER_06

I said I heard that this is gonna last. We might even get some more. Um snow? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

We don't want that.

SPEAKER_06

Because last year it wasn't like this at all.

SPEAKER_01

So No, it's we haven't had this We haven't had this for what?

SPEAKER_06

It's probably gonna go. It's gonna go. Sometimes it's some elevators are just you're going up, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

It's just probably they said this is the worst built blizzard New York has had for 20 years.

SPEAKER_01

So I believe I would believe that. I'd believe that.

SPEAKER_06

And it wasn't. I feel like when I was younger, like we would every year have something like this. It's gonna go. It takes a little time. It's okay. Hey, are you guys stuck in the elevator?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Uh yes, we are. We can't we can't get it to move. All right, we'll be right on it. It should be done in five minutes.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you. Take your time. So uh, we're stuck here.

SPEAKER_01

That's just what you need, right? It feels like we're snowed in.

SPEAKER_06

That's funny. Yeah. Last time la two weeks ago, there was uh uh another snowstorm, that one. And I didn't dig my car out for two days. And then when I went to go dig it out, it took like two hours to get it out. And I'm not doing that again.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that that'd be tough. Right?

SPEAKER_06

Is it is it moving or they said it will take a couple minutes.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Where are you from?

SPEAKER_01

Am I from? Uh Maryland.

SPEAKER_06

Oh my god, I love Maryland so much. It's not as much snow there.

SPEAKER_01

It is further south.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So it's warmer.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Am I bothering you? Am I bothering you? Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Elevator starts moving.

SPEAKER_06

What's the are you okay? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

This is me.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Well, let me come with you. All right. That was fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that was fun. Towards the end, I was like, I was thinking maybe if I outweird him, he'll stop talking to me. It almost worked. It almost worked, but didn't. Because I still was interacting with the element of Peter who's like, well, now this is interesting. Now I want to talk to you. Because I've never met a man like this.

SPEAKER_06

All right, so I have another one. There are strangers that will pin you down, and you know what I mean? They'll apologize for making it weird, or or or that this you don't want to talk to them, but that doesn't stop them.

SPEAKER_04

You uh portrayed one of the characteristics that they have very well, which is you could tell he was gonna start talking, and you talked over him to get your things out. And that felt so real.

SPEAKER_06

How about this? You want me to give you two one? I have one loaded up.

SPEAKER_04

That I think if we get to participate, okay, then get then shoot it at us. We're on Survivor and we're at the water well. Okay, and he and I are talking uh strategy on how to get you out.

SPEAKER_06

It's always me, huh?

SPEAKER_04

I'm the other one out. All right. Alright, no, you know what? We'll switch it up.

SPEAKER_06

I'll No, it's fair. We'll do it. Because I I always put you guys through the advanced. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

He and I are talking about voting you out, and you walk in in the middle of our sentence. Okay. Alright. So you just come in, but we'll be talking strategy about you.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, so I'm not in yet. Okay. No. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

All right. I think with with our two votes, yeah. We have the two of them plus their block of vote.

SPEAKER_00

We I mean it should be, we have majority. We should be able to get them out.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well, he's not like uh I mean it makes sense. He's not helping around camp. He's not doing anything. He's not doing anything. He's not helping in challenges. He's not helping in challenges.

SPEAKER_00

And he's not gonna expect it.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, and we can get better at puzzles. Hey oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Get away from freaking Kathleen, you know?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we were just talking about how hard she is to be around at camp and stuff.

SPEAKER_06

Right? Yeah I I was taught I was thinking we can with us. Yeah, and we have like three more. We have the majority.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the number would they would they vote, Kathleen?

SPEAKER_06

I think I think we can talk. We can get Joe, John, and Jacob.

unknown

Kathleen.

SPEAKER_01

Jingleheimer will never go for it, so it's not even Yeah, forget about Jingleheimer.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, okay. That's his name too, but that's mine. Uh but yes, I think I think we can do it.

SPEAKER_00

Are we all with it? Alright, but who are we gonna tell Kathleen that we're voting?

SPEAKER_06

You tell Kathleen. We can tell Kathleen we're voting Steve. Just so. I don't know if she'd believe that. I feel like.

SPEAKER_07

She would.

SPEAKER_06

She would.

unknown

I okay.

SPEAKER_06

Your name's been thrown out here and there. Who's been saying my name? Do people talk a lot?

SPEAKER_00

They're saying that. I think what if we said what if we said you? Because I think she would go for that.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Yeah, she'd be if we said you.

SPEAKER_06

Here's the thing. I'm not uh against that, okay. But I have to be honest. Kathleen told me that you two have mentioned my name. What?

SPEAKER_04

Why would she try to pick like just disrupt us?

SPEAKER_00

Okay. She thinks there's an alliance between us, and she's trying to not ever help it, right?

SPEAKER_04

She's trying to make wedges. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

She's just making stuff. What else did she say? She she said that something about okay. Because I I I have my health issues. I can't do as much stuff around camp, and that you two are very big, like old school players. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's why she's trying so hard, because she's alone on an island right now. Yeah. She has nobody else, so she's just trying to throw stones to try to get anybody before the vote.

SPEAKER_06

Well, it would make me feel like you really got my bag if we're able to use one of your names instead. That would make the most sense, right? Because you're I just show me that I can trust you.

SPEAKER_04

Right.

SPEAKER_06

Because I want to play the game with you too.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. No, we could do that.

SPEAKER_06

Right? Uh you don't care about how I am around camp. Like, right? Like you understand I I can't do everything around camp that everyone else can't. And what is the health huh? Uh uh My health thing is my back has Okay. When I was before coming on here, I uh I heard it. Someone blew it. And so I can't. Yeah. Yeah. And so I can't, you know, I can do the challenges, I can run and whatever, but when it comes to chopping stuff, like that's not it's just it doesn't make sense. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Well and and Lane helps it. I'll tell I'll tell catch.

SPEAKER_06

Are you I can tell the way you're saying that, do you wait? Do we have a problem?

SPEAKER_04

I don't think we have a problem, but you're able to do stuff with the challenges and not around.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, well okay. Let's let's just put this all on the table. Yeah. Let's just let's just let's be honest, okay? Sure. All right. I I think you you two are tight. I just know that. Sure. I feel like maybe I'm not really able to mesh with you two as well as other people are. Right. Right? Would you agree?

SPEAKER_01

If that's been your experience, I I I don't know. I I don't know what to what degree you believe that. I mean, maybe slightly, but it's not a problem.

SPEAKER_06

I'm gonna just tell you two right now. When I go back, I'm gonna try to get Steven out. Okay? Just from the vibe I got here, but that I don't think we can work together. Because I tried.

SPEAKER_01

If you do that, I promise you you're going home.

SPEAKER_04

If you if if you put my if uh if we say that you can put my name down and we put this this level of trust out there, would you be uh willing uh to help out around more when we get Kathleen out?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, of course. I'll do whatever. I'll do anything. Yeah, I'll do I'll carry the logs and chop, of course, 100%.

SPEAKER_04

Because that's how I'll feel like we're in this together, is if we work together as a unit.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, a hundred percent. Because it I really want to go through the final thing.

SPEAKER_04

And the challenge is you're fighting for you, but we're fighting for each other when we're at camp.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, we're a team.

SPEAKER_01

So if we do this, and let's just say hypothetically after the vote, you're not pulling your weight around camp. You're totally cool with us. Obviously, that the thing would be to get you out. I mean, if it's just it's only fair.

SPEAKER_06

For sure. Yeah, for sure. A hundred percent. Okay. Okay, okay, cool. We got it.

SPEAKER_01

I think we got yeah, we're gonna stay and fill up our water, but we'll meet you back. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go go lay down and and we'll be right there.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. What the fuck was that? All right. I was trying too hard to be funny, and when you when you confronted me, I got nervous.

SPEAKER_01

I I almost like uh went into a real scenario right there. I was like I was like, oh, that isn't funny. I'm not making this funny, I'm just like really trying to lie to my friend.

SPEAKER_04

I was like, I'm gonna throw in some bits, but then when he took that, when he did the double take on me, I got actually nervous.

SPEAKER_06

Oh man. A guy that has no humor about it at all. Uh well, I think we've hit time. We've hit time, yes. And when we hit time, we hit lime.

SPEAKER_05

Did you say Lime?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.
