  Hoppa, welcome everybody to Stavi's World. My love, my love. We'll stop, call in, we'll solve all your problems. We have with us our pal returning Gareth Reynolds on the couch. What's up?

• 1:08Speaker 03

  Hi.

• 1:08Stavros Halkias?

  What's up, Big G?

• 1:09Speaker 03

  Hey, Stavi.

• 1:10Stavros Halkias?

  How's it going, man?

• 1:11Speaker 03

  Good, how are you?

• 1:12Stavros Halkias?

  You know him from his multiple pod. We're, this is, this man's a podcaster extraordinaire.

• 1:18Speaker 03

  It's a nightmare.

• 1:20Speaker 03

  It really is.

• 1:21Stavros Halkias?

  I know.

• 1:22Speaker 03

  We were just talking.

• 1:22Stavros Halkias?

  It sucks.

• 1:23Speaker 03

  You think you get ahead and then you're like, I'm only done for two weeks.

• 1:27Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:30Stavros Halkias?

  I, I've done We're Here to Help. Great show. You got a new one launching. It's been going, it's been going.

• 1:37Speaker 03

  Good, good cover there.

• 1:38Stavros Halkias?

  I knew, I know it because you told me.

• 1:41Speaker 03

  Like the reason? I know because you said it.

• 1:44Stavros Halkias?

  You said it earlier.

• 1:45Speaker 03

  I'm not familiar with it.

• 1:46Stavros Halkias?

  Moments ago. I think maybe now that you say it, I'm like, oh, that's what that was. I saw it, it looked pretty fun. I didn't know if it was somebody else's show. But it looks good.

• 1:56Speaker 03

  Sure. Can I put that on the, is there any, can I put that quote on there? That stammering half endorsement? It was like they were filmed, you were there. Audio quality was there.

• 2:11Speaker 03

  It's cool.

• 2:12Stavros Halkias?

  Next we have.

• 2:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:14Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I like that we did that little bag of which I could remember what it was called.

• 2:19Speaker 03

  Stavi Stammers.

• 2:22Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah dude, it's all broadcasting secrets.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  It's too much shit.

• 2:25Stavros Halkias?

  Do a bad job and then so you'll remember the fucking title of the, of the podcast.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  I even forget it sometimes.

• 2:34Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, I like it though. So it gives me Frasier vibes next we have.

• 2:38Speaker 03

  No, that's. That's we're here to help.

• 2:41Stavros Halkias?

  We're here to help.

• 2:42Speaker 03

  Very Frasier.

• 2:43Stavros Halkias?

  But it that, but didn't, wouldn't Frasier say? What was the name of his show in the fictional world?

• 2:50Speaker 03

  Oh shit, I don't even remember. I honestly.

• 2:52Stavros Halkias?

  Do some producer.

• 2:52Speaker 03

  I didn't follow Frasier. I didn't follow him.

• 2:55Stavros Halkias?

  I was a big Frasier.

• 2:55Speaker 03

  I liked him when he was a drunk.

• 2:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:57Speaker 03

  He got all sober and became emotional.

• 3:01Stavros Halkias?

  No, I, it was just called the Dr. Frasier Crane Show. I never.

• 3:05Speaker 03

  I used to do kids birthday parties, dress up like superheroes for kids birthday parties. And one time I did like the Frasier season rap party for the kids and I was dressed up as a wizard. And I was just like, able to just be like a fly on the wall to like.

• 3:18Stavros Halkias?

  Incredible.

• 3:19Speaker 03

  Kelsey Grammer having conversations.

• 3:21Stavros Halkias?

  Was he, was he with his Real Housewives wife?

• 3:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, he was. It was a Camille era, Camille era.

• 3:26Stavros Halkias?

  I remember when, when, when I saw that he was with just a hot blonde with big fake titties. I was like, wait, Frasier is cool?

• 3:34Speaker 03

  Yeah. Maybe he really does.

• 3:37Stavros Halkias?

  I thought he was a nerd.

• 3:37Speaker 03

  Well, and then you found out he actually really was like a coke head drunk.

• 3:41Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 3:41Speaker 03

  Frasier?

• 3:42Stavros Halkias?

  Frasier's the man.

• 3:43Speaker 03

  Wait a minute.

• 3:44Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, he, he was doing coke. He was, he was a wild boy.

• 3:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:48Stavros Halkias?

  Kelsey was a wild boy.

• 3:49Speaker 03

  But he seemed so like intellectual.

• 3:51Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 3:51Speaker 03

  But.

• 3:52Stavros Halkias?

  Well, that's the thing about Frasier. Yeah, they were, oh Niles.

• 3:54Speaker 03

  Niles.

• 3:55Stavros Halkias?

  You know, doing shit like that.

• 3:55Speaker 03

  Let's do a bump out of Camille.

• 3:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Niles being straight's hilarious. It's like, you know.

• 4:01Speaker 03

  Also fun.

• 4:02Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, that guy's gay as hell.

• 4:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. He probably was dying to talk to Frasier about his sexuality crisis. Frasier was so inaccessible.

• 4:10Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, Daphne, maybe, you know, you find one bitch. He's probably, he's probably gay for everyone except Daphne. It's my guess.

• 4:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:18Stavros Halkias?

  He probably fell in love with her, but he's gay as fuck.

• 4:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:22Stavros Halkias?

  Cause Maris, he didn't want to fuck Maris.

• 4:23Speaker 03

  No.

• 4:24Stavros Halkias?

  You know, or was Maris was Frasier? No, Maris was, was, was.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  Wasn't that, I don't know much, like I said, but I think it was his.

• 4:31Stavros Halkias?

  Was Maris Frasier's ex-wife? No, Niles.

• 4:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 4:34Stavros Halkias?

  Niles' ex-wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:36Speaker 03

  And then there was the dog.

• 4:38Stavros Halkias?

  Of course, Eddie.

• 4:39Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 4:39Stavros Halkias?

  And the dad, he was awesome. He was gay also, actually.

• 4:42Speaker 03

  The dad was?

• 4:43Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, that actor seems straight is gay.

• 4:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:46Stavros Halkias?

  Niles seems gay is gay.

• 4:48Speaker 03

  It's the what?

• 4:48Stavros Halkias?

  Frasier seems gay is straight.

• 4:50Speaker 03

  Frasier seems sober, he's drunk.

• 4:51Stavros Halkias?

  They had it all. They had every type of guy.

• 4:56Speaker 03

  Daphne was the alpha.

• 4:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah. Daphne seemed straight was straight.

• 5:00Speaker 03

  No, I never got, oh yeah, John Mahoney.

• 5:01Stavros Halkias?

  John Mahoney was gay.

• 5:02Speaker 03

  Right.

• 5:03Stavros Halkias?

  They, I guess they were missing one seems straight is straight guy.

• 5:06Speaker 04

  I think we've looked this up before and I don't think there is definitive evidence that John Mahoney is gay.

• 5:11Stavros Halkias?

  Wait, really?

• 5:11Speaker 03

  I mean, it's funny that that's the, did you highlight that, Eldis?

• 5:15Stavros Halkias?

  No, no.

• 5:15Speaker 03

  So it's funny that you were like, I've come to the conclusion that the highlighted AI overview is a...

• 5:22Speaker 04

  We, we, we, we went, we like talked for 20 minutes on an episode about how he was gay. And then we like did another simple Google search, just like, no, he's not actually gay.

• 5:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, he was. He was like the kind of gay guy that wouldn't say it. Go down.

• 5:36Speaker 03

  Closeted.

• 5:37Stavros Halkias?

  Closeted.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  Old school.

• 5:40Stavros Halkias?

  Old school. Back when they had Anna. Don't make my fucking kids look at that. Do it on your own time. And then you get married secretly. You know, that kind of shit.

• 5:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, you go to Thailand, get married.

• 5:56Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah. Get out of the AI. That's your problem, Eldis. You're succumbing to AI.

• 5:59Speaker 03

  I fucking completely agree. I, I, so many people I know are like AI-ing and I'm like, scroll.

• 6:06Stavros Halkias?

  No, no.

• 6:06Speaker 03

  A half inch more.

• 6:08Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:08Speaker 03

  Get some real answers.

• 6:09Stavros Halkias?

  Although I do think they've made Google shittier.

• 6:12Speaker 03

  Google's gotten way shittier.

• 6:13Stavros Halkias?

  Because they want us to go to AI.

• 6:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 6:15Stavros Halkias?

  But we won't do it. We'll just get shitty answers on Google.

• 6:18Speaker 03

  Will you Google how bad Google is and let's read the AI?

• 6:23Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, yeah. Not a Frasier guy. What were your shows as a child?

• 6:26Speaker 03

  You know, I really watched a lot and we're probably, we're pretty much the same age. You're probably a little young. Oh, you're like a lot younger. I mean, you're 10 years, yeah, you're nine years younger than me.

• 6:34Stavros Halkias?

  Much better than I do.

• 6:35Speaker 03

  No, that's not true.

• 6:36Stavros Halkias?

  You do, for real.

• 6:37Speaker 03

  Well, you have a much better career.

• 6:38Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna die earlier though.

• 6:41Speaker 03

  Well, whatever. I'm gonna be poor forever. It's gonna fucking suck.

• 6:44Stavros Halkias?

  You give, you know what I mean? There's gives and takes.

• 6:47Speaker 03

  You're gonna be a comic. I'm gonna be a nightmare star.

• 6:50Stavros Halkias?

  Bright, yeah, burn bright.

• 6:51Speaker 03

  Yeah. Uh, I watched a lot of like, old sitcoms from Nick at Night when I was growing up. So I would watch like Taxi.

• 6:59Stavros Halkias?

  Love.

• 6:59Speaker 03

  Welcome Back Hotter.

• 7:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 7:01Speaker 03

  Um, like, those are my shows.

• 7:04Stavros Halkias?

  I would pretend to do that. Like, I was the little, I was like, I was like the little annoying kid pretending to get the shows you were watching.

• 7:11Speaker 03

  Right.

• 7:11Stavros Halkias?

  Cause I love.

• 7:12Speaker 03

  I don't even know how much I got him, but I definitely was like, that's important.

• 7:15Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, exactly. I felt that way too. It's like being little, I was like, oh, I get Taxi, I get it. Andy Kaufman.

• 7:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:20Stavros Halkias?

  I would pretend to like, really like Andy Kaufman and like, the biggest one is, um, uh, Lenny Bruce. That's the most poser shit you can do. Which is, and look, I've listened back and it's like, there's a couple. And, and he's very important, obviously, for like, but it's like, some guy being like, no, I love watching highlights of the 1940s, uh, Philadelphia Warriors.

• 7:43Speaker 03

  No, their highlights aren't good. You know what it's like? I watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles like a year ago.

• 7:49Stavros Halkias?

  I don't know, that's a banger.

• 7:51Speaker 03

  When was the last time you watched it?

• 7:52Stavros Halkias?

  Pretty recently.

• 7:53Speaker 03

  See, I like it still, but I'm like, this has been replicated 800 times now.

• 7:57Stavros Halkias?

  The replication is fair.

• 7:59Speaker 03

  So you're a little, it's the best.

• 8:01Stavros Halkias?

  Cause of John Candy. He is just so, you can't replicate him.

• 8:05Speaker 03

  And when the wife's been dead for 12 years.

• 8:07Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  You're like, oh my god.

• 8:09Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 8:10Speaker 03

  I don't even know if it makes sense, actually, but it's still.

• 8:12Stavros Halkias?

  John Candy is, it works with him because he's such a good, like, he is able to portray that kind of depth.

• 8:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:20Stavros Halkias?

  In a way that big fat buffoons can't, right? Like, I'm trying to, I'm trying to get into acting and I watch a lot of John Candy because I'm like, he was a favorite of mine. And just, and I just know, I'm like, I am not, if I could do one eighth of what this guy can do.

• 8:34Speaker 03

  He was the best.

• 8:35Stavros Halkias?

  I will have an incredible career.

• 8:36Speaker 03

  Died early, what you're after too.

• 8:38Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, well, that, I will replicate.

• 8:42Stavros Halkias?

  That's the, that's the one eighth I can do is dying too soon.

• 8:46Speaker 03

  Stavi replicated the John Candy death better than anyone.

• 8:50Stavros Halkias?

  Lot of guys I'm replicating in that sense.

• 8:52Speaker 03

  He was the best. He, he, and then I'm not saying that movie's not good, but it's like road trip movies at that point, there was just not a shitload.

• 9:01Stavros Halkias?

  Well, I will say in general, I think you're right in that a lot of classics, some classics really, the pacing is off. Like they're not as funny as you remember, or there's like four good jokes you latched on to as a kid. Caddyshack is like this.

• 9:16Speaker 03

  What you feel like is a little out of touch?

• 9:18Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, not as good.

• 9:19Speaker 03

  Still, there's, I mean, it's so good.

• 9:20Stavros Halkias?

  When's the last time you watched Caddyshack?

• 9:22Speaker 03

  It's been a minute.

• 9:24Stavros Halkias?

  Rewatch it? I, cause I, in fact, I was really embarrassed because like I'm showing it to a girl who's already too young.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  That's the worst.

• 9:30Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 9:30Speaker 03

  When you're trying to show off and you're sitting there in silence like.

• 9:33Stavros Halkias?

  It's like, this is bombing. And then, and then I'm realizing even if this was good, this, she wouldn't have liked this. So now I'm bombing twice.

• 9:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:40Stavros Halkias?

  Cause even the idealized version of Caddyshack in my head wouldn't have worked with this woman.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  And then you gotta jump ship. You like turn it off.

• 9:47Stavros Halkias?

  I'm like, oh, this, and then you're fast, when you're fast forwarding, you are toast. When you're like, let's just get the Rodney Dangerfield part. And she's just looking at it like.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  You're like, Chibi Chase was very funny at a time.

• 9:58Stavros Halkias?

  I know like Bill Murray's kind of like really important. And yeah, the go over things, I guess it's weird.

• 10:02Speaker 03

  This is all improvised, so you know.

• 10:03Stavros Halkias?

  But he's just making this up. It's not in the script.

• 10:05Speaker 03

  Nobody wrote this.

• 10:06Stavros Halkias?

  She's like, so why, why it's the gopher is a part of it? It's like, yeah, the gopher, yeah. I mean, he's like, he's got a problem with it.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  He's a piece of shit.

• 10:13Stavros Halkias?

  He's the groundskeeper.

• 10:14Speaker 03

  He's a piece of shit.

• 10:15Stavros Halkias?

  Um, yeah, that's tough, but it's, it is very funny because I do, I do think you picked maybe the one I disagree with the most. I think it holds up really well because it's also a 90 minute runtime. It's one of the, it's one of the rare old classics that actually has a pace that keeps up with today. Cause they cut a lot of, that was like, I feel like they said the first cut of that movie was like three hours.

• 10:38Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. There, I've read, there are scenes where you're like, I think in this Steve Martin documentary, he goes into it a lot.

• 10:43Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah. Which it's cool because you watch the movie and it doesn't fully make sense, but you can put it together. Like there's certain things where you're like, how do we get here?

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:52Stavros Halkias?

  But I love when they're like, I love when a movie just does that, like, you can figure it out. And it's way more important for the pace to be there than it is to explain every little fucking thing.

• 11:01Speaker 03

  Well, I'm not, I'm, I think that it, like, some of the shine got taken, like, it used to be like my favorite movie. And then I watched it again, and I was like, oh, yeah, well, you, you just are so used to Odd Couple Road Trip movies.

• 11:13Stavros Halkias?

  Sure, sure, sure.

• 11:13Speaker 03

  So that, that's.

• 11:15Stavros Halkias?

  I'm with you there.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  I agree with you, Frasier is good. There's no doubt about that. What was your show growing up?

• 11:22Stavros Halkias?

  I wa- I mean, legit, I watched Frasier, but I mean, you know, the classic Simpsons.

• 11:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:26Stavros Halkias?

  Seinfeld.

• 11:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:27Stavros Halkias?

  The, the, like, they would run them in syndication.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 11:30Stavros Halkias?

  King of Queens snuck in there.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 11:32Stavros Halkias?

  Because it was just in syndication.

• 11:34Speaker 03

  That's a tell, yeah.

• 11:35Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean?

• 11:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, it came on after Seinfeld.

• 11:36Stavros Halkias?

  It was just, it, it was just timing wise, you know, perfect for that. Plus, Fat Guy, Hot Wife, I love to see that.

• 11:43Speaker 03

  You're really.

• 11:43Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? I'm like, this could be me.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  It's a hero.

• 11:45Stavros Halkias?

  For real.

• 11:46Speaker 03

  It is possible.

• 11:47Stavros Halkias?

  A hundred, I'm not even kidding, it was like me looking like.

• 11:50Speaker 03

  But then you found out she was a Scientologist, you're like, this makes sense.

• 11:52Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  That's how we got her.

• 11:53Stavros Halkias?

  Although he, she, in real life.

• 11:55Speaker 03

  She jumped.

• 11:56Stavros Halkias?

  She's with a hot guy and not a Scientologist anymore.

• 11:58Speaker 03

  Oh, she is?

• 11:59Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah, her real husband's like some sexy Latino guy.

• 12:01Speaker 03

  Oh, okay, I didn't know that.

• 12:02Stavros Halkias?

  Pissed me off. Legit pissed me off when I'm like sixteen and I figure this out. Yeah, look at that guy.

• 12:08Speaker 03

  See, I think, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

• 12:09Stavros Halkias?

  He used to be hotter.

• 12:10Speaker 03

  I'm gonna Planes, Trains and Automobiles, you on this guy.

• 12:12Stavros Halkias?

  He used to be hotter.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  He's, he's.

• 12:14Stavros Halkias?

  Go back, go find Angelo Pagan Young.

• 12:16Speaker 03

  Do, do.

• 12:17Stavros Halkias?

  Go Leo Remini Husband Young.

• 12:19Speaker 03

  Angelo Pagan Hot.

• 12:20Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, come on, that's a handsome guy, dude.

• 12:22Speaker 03

  I mean.

• 12:24Stavros Halkias?

  Look at that guy with the goatee.

• 12:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, alright.

• 12:26Stavros Halkias?

  You know, he looks jacked.

• 12:27Speaker 03

  Mark Anthony, Bargain Bin Mark Anthony.

• 12:30Stavros Halkias?

  No.

• 12:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:31Stavros Halkias?

  He's hotter than Mark Anthony.

• 12:33Speaker 03

  No, he's not hotter than Mark Anthony.

• 12:34Stavros Halkias?

  I don't know, Mark, he's, he's bigger.

• 12:35Speaker 03

  And I'm not even into Mark Anthony.

• 12:37Stavros Halkias?

  I'm just saying he's a little more substantial, I don't wanna twink, you know, I wanna be, I want a guy who can throw me around a little bit.

• 12:42Speaker 03

  Neither of us are gay, but I wanna twink.

• 12:43Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 12:44Speaker 03

  I really wanna twink, that's my style.

• 12:46Stavros Halkias?

  Well, I guess if I had to fuck a man, yes, I would wanna twink, but if I was the kinda guy who wanted to fuck men, I would want them to be heftier, you know? That's just me. Anyway, compared to Kevin James, whatever the fuck, this guy's more classically handsome. But you know what, you're right, he's not as hot as I remember in my head.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  No. See, this, you're this is Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but with this guy.

• 13:06Stavros Halkias?

  He wasn't a fat guy, I think that pissed me off.

• 13:09Speaker 03

  No, you know what's funny, I was saying this the other night, it was like, Seinfeld, slowly those, the people in Seinfeld are starting to, like, you've really got to separate the actors from the characters now.

• 13:20Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's true.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  Like, Kramer, it took me like five years to be like, I could watch him and not think about the, and now Jerry, who's so like...

• 13:27Stavros Halkias?

  Yep, yep.

• 13:28Speaker 03

  Jerry's just a little too callous when it comes to Palestine.

• 13:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yep, absolutely.

• 13:32Speaker 03

  Jason Alexander's next, I feel like Julia's gonna hang in there.

• 13:36Stavros Halkias?

  Julia, I think, it's kinda like, she's in, it's like, when you get a vaccine and there's a little something you have to get over, it's like a little piece of the poison.

• 13:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, you gotta...

• 13:45Stavros Halkias?

  The fact that she's a billionaire's daughter...

• 13:47Speaker 03

  I didn't know that!

• 13:48Stavros Halkias?

  You have to get over that immediately, right? The Dreyfes are like, yeah, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, her family is like, she's an insane nepo baby. So if you get over that early, I got over that when, when she was young.

• 14:00Speaker 03

  See, I didn't know that.

• 14:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean, it's not good, what he did.

• 14:03Speaker 03

  Gerard.

• 14:04Stavros Halkias?

  Gerard Louis-Dreyfus.

• 14:05Speaker 03

  Anyone with an accent in their name is...

• 14:06Stavros Halkias?

  His net worth was estimated to be 3.4 billion, he was the chairman of the Louis-Dreyfus Energy Services.

• 14:11Speaker 03

  Oh, fuck, that's oil.

• 14:13Stavros Halkias?

  And the great grandson of, her dad was the great grandson of a guy with a Wikipedia page, that's not good.

• 14:19Speaker 03

  Wait, are you Leopold?

• 14:21Stavros Halkias?

  Leopold Louis-Dreyfus, yeah.

• 14:24Speaker 03

  Oh, fuck.

• 14:25Stavros Halkias?

  The French government awarded him the Commander of the Legion of Honor.

• 14:27Speaker 03

  Does he have claws?

• 14:28Stavros Halkias?

  No, no. No, no, no, he does not have claws.

• 14:31Speaker 03

  Okay, it wasn't true.

• 14:32Stavros Halkias?

  But I'm sure there was some propaganda of the time saying he did. Um, what, what was the...

• 14:39Speaker 03

  I think I just fell into a bad trap.

• 14:41Stavros Halkias?

  I think you did, I think you unfortunately did. Look up the Louis-Dreyfus Group, let's see what they were up to, Elvis. Right there, dumbass. It's a Dutch multinational merchant firm that's involved in agricultural, I mean, yeah, there's no way.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  It's tough when you find out someone grew up rich, it's, it's difficult.

• 14:58Stavros Halkias?

  If her...

• 14:59Speaker 03

  There's a lot in comedy, so you gotta, gotta get over it.

• 15:01Stavros Halkias?

  Her family's business was founded in 1851, that's not good.

• 15:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:07Stavros Halkias?

  Not good.

• 15:08Speaker 03

  No, old money.

• 15:09Stavros Halkias?

  The company makes up about 10% of the world's agricultural product trade flow, and is the world's largest cotton and rice trader. That's not good.

• 15:18Speaker 03

  No, the cotton, cotton's not-

• 15:20Stavros Halkias?

  One of the four companies that dominate world agricultural commodity trading. Really bad, you know what I mean?

• 15:27Speaker 03

  The cotton is not, cotton eighteen hundreds never really works that way.

• 15:32Stavros Halkias?

  No, certainly not, but that's them today. I'm sure what they were, whatever they were up to back then was, you know. What were they up to in the eighteen hundreds, elders? Let's scroll down, idiot.

• 15:43Stavros Halkias?

  He rapidly diversified across shipping, weapons manufacturing, agriculture, oil and banking.

• 15:48Speaker 03

  Oh, so the good industries?

• 15:49Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 15:50Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 15:51Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 15:51Speaker 03

  I was worried it would be dark.

• 15:53Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 15:54Speaker 03

  Top five biggest fortunes of France.

• 15:57Stavros Halkias?

  In the early twentieth century. So anyway, once you get over that, and she's, you know, so she, I think, is not gonna disappoint us more.

• 16:05Speaker 03

  And I wanna circle back on the claw thing. I really, it was, and I wish everyone could see the picture. He just had pointy fingers.

• 16:12Stavros Halkias?

  Right, right, right.

• 16:12Speaker 03

  I was going for a totally different, you know what I mean?

• 16:15Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 16:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:17Speaker 04

  We'll have the screenshot up, the people can decide.

• 16:19Speaker 03

  If you could maybe sharpen the fingers and post them, that might help me out.

• 16:23Stavros Halkias?

  We won't be doing that.

• 16:23Speaker 03

  Really nuzzle out to those hands up.

• 16:25Stavros Halkias?

  We will not be sharpening the hands of a nineteen century Jewish banker. We will not be doing that.

• 16:32Speaker 03

  You're digging further for me, Joe. I'm not saying sharpen him because he's a Jew. I don't even want, I can't say don't sharpen his hands because he's a Jew. That'd be a crazy thing to say. This can't be the clip.

• 16:44Stavros Halkias?

  We'll bleep all this.

• 16:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, this should be a whole clip. Let's restart the show.

• 16:49Stavros Halkias?

  We'll just show Gareth's frustration, but we'll be bleeping it all.

• 16:53Speaker 03

  Go from where you at. Plane, trains and automobiles holds up the best. That's a movie that is unchanged, my opinion is unchanged. Oh, shit.

• 17:01Stavros Halkias?

  What do you think, okay, so what do you think, because I agree with you, Jason Alexander is the one that I'm a little worried about.

• 17:08Speaker 03

  Oh, he's next. He'll do so, he'll do something.

• 17:11Stavros Halkias?

  What's Jason Alexander, Jason Alexander, look up Jason Alexander scandal, let's see if there's anything there.

• 17:15Speaker 03

  So my buddy, my buddy Evan Mano, I used to write with, he, when he first moved to LA, he was an intern at Jason Alexander's company. That picture's great. I'm sure this makes him happy.

• 17:25Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 17:25Speaker 03

  And he has a hairpiece for the bald side.

• 17:29Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 17:30Speaker 03

  So his hair looks a little fuller on the bald part.

• 17:33Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, interesting, he has a bald hair?

• 17:35Speaker 03

  A bald, he's got a little bit of, it's very interesting, yeah.

• 17:39Stavros Halkias?

  You'd think once you're bald, you're bald.

• 17:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's just, but it was- Yeah, see, that's it, that's.

• 17:44Stavros Halkias?

  It's Alexander.

• 17:45Speaker 03

  And he'll never get accused of having a piece.

• 17:46Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, exactly. He upset many in the LGBTQ.

• 17:50Speaker 03

  Here we go.

• 17:51Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, we don't need to, you know what? We're not doing this.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  Take him down.

• 17:54Stavros Halkias?

  You know what? I'm out on this, actually. I, you know what? George, I'm not looking to be mad at, at the cast of Seinfeld. If it's brought across my front door, there's nothing I can do about that.

• 18:04Speaker 03

  That's coming.

• 18:04Stavros Halkias?

  But I'm not looking.

• 18:05Speaker 03

  It's coming.

• 18:06Stavros Halkias?

  I'm not gonna be looking into it.

• 18:07Speaker 03

  He'll be at the Capitol Rises next time.

• 18:08Stavros Halkias?

  I will say that.

• 18:08Speaker 03

  He'll be like Jay Johnstone.

• 18:10Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 18:10Speaker 03

  He'll just be there, like, oh, no.

• 18:12Stavros Halkias?

  Come on, man. Why?

• 18:15Speaker 03

  It's a tough one.

• 18:16Stavros Halkias?

  Why? I love Mr. Show.

• 18:19Speaker 03

  The best.

• 18:19Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  The best, the falling into the shelf guy. You're like, no.

• 18:23Stavros Halkias?

  Honestly, the fact that it's only one guy for Mr. Show isn't bad. I think that's what we have to look at it as.

• 18:29Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 18:29Stavros Halkias?

  Only one guy?

• 18:31Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

• 18:34Stavros Halkias?

  Ah, Seinfeld also holds up.

• 18:36Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 18:37Stavros Halkias?

  That actually does.

• 18:38Speaker 03

  I, I just, it's like comfort to me. I just put it on in the, if there was a radio station that was only Seinfeld, I would listen to it.

• 18:43Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:44Speaker 03

  Without question.

• 18:45Stavros Halkias?

  It's fucking good. It is like, even though it's, at this point, you know, 30 years old or whatever, you're like, I get, I am the old guy who I was a kid telling me to watch Leave It to Beaver.

• 18:55Speaker 03

  You know?

• 18:56Stavros Halkias?

  I would tell a child to watch Seinfeld.

• 18:58Speaker 03

  Or what about Hated? All in the Family or MASH? When those shows were on, I was like, these are trash. I never watched an episode, but I was like, nope. Not like, I think that's probably.

• 19:06Stavros Halkias?

  That's exactly.

• 19:07Speaker 03

  Seinfeld for this generation.

• 19:09Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's probably true. But also, those shows are good when you key in a little bit.

• 19:13Speaker 03

  I never really.

• 19:14Stavros Halkias?

  But they didn't, they couldn't, they never grabbed me.

• 19:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, exactly.

• 19:16Stavros Halkias?

  So it's probably the exact same thing.

• 19:18Speaker 03

  No.

• 19:18Stavros Halkias?

  There were moments where we were MASH guy.

• 19:20Speaker 03

  No, MASH to me was like, Sunday afternoon, change the channel. All in the Family, I just liked that he was pissed off.

• 19:26Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I liked when he was being racist.

• 19:28Speaker 03

  Not me, I, that's not my thing, but. There's the clip. Elvis, that's the clip. Get me away from the Jew Claus stuff. Hurry. Move away from the Louis Dreyfus Claus. Walk away.

• 19:45Speaker 03

  Thank you, Stabby.

• 19:49Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, fuck dude. Yeah, um, I, uh, I don't know, I was not, I was not, I, I didn't watch too much of the old shit, but you know, whatever. I do worry, I wonder, Elders, you think like all babies are basically like, they love 4D animation and shit now? Like, they like computer shit? They don't like old?

• 20:08Speaker 04

  I don't know, I feel, I feel like the way kids like stuff, like I see my nieces watching shit and it is just random shitty cartoons. Like, you can't really tell what makes a cartoon like better or worse. I feel like a baby just sees one thing one day and they just wanna like, watch it over and over.

• 20:24Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  Like, the new bullshit doesn't really seem like...

• 20:27Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, there's some baby, we know, I know a ba-, you know, I know a baby that loves Finding Nemo.

• 20:31Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 20:31Speaker 03

  I know a baby.

• 20:34Speaker 03

  Are you name dropping a baby?

• 20:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know, pretty cool baby.

• 20:37Speaker 03

  I know a very chill baby.

• 20:38Speaker 04

  He loves sea creatures and stuff like that.

• 20:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's cool.

• 20:42Speaker 04

  He's a pretty sick guy.

• 20:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's sick.

• 20:44Speaker 04

  He's, he's cool.

• 20:44Speaker 03

  Such a good baby.

• 20:45Speaker 04

  He's a good baby.

• 20:46Speaker 03

  He's a good kid.

• 20:47Speaker 04

  You know what, you, you learn, when there, there starts to be more babies in your life, there are some duds out there.

• 20:52Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:52Speaker 04

  There are some, and they be-

• 20:53Speaker 03

  Sometimes it shows, I will-

• 20:54Speaker 04

  You figure it out quick.

• 20:55Speaker 03

  Sometimes it shows, I will ask parents, like, if they have like three kids, I'll be like, you got a favorite? And they'll be like, yeah, I do.

• 21:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  Cause I'm like, of course you do.

• 21:03Speaker 04

  Of course.

• 21:03Speaker 03

  There's gotta be.

• 21:04Speaker 04

  And it becomes clear.

• 21:05Speaker 03

  And I know in my family, my, my mother liked my brother better growing up. There's no fucking doubt. She like, almost admitted it repeatedly.

• 21:13Speaker 04

  Why do you think that was?

• 21:15Speaker 03

  I, he was a little bit older and he was just really smart and even though he was like kind of a shit, like, he greased the wheels for me to be such a little shit.

• 21:23Speaker 04

  Right.

• 21:23Speaker 03

  That I was just way more stressful.

• 21:25Speaker 04

  Right, right, right.

• 21:26Speaker 03

  And so she just definitely like had a bigger affinity for him. It was my fault.

• 21:30Speaker 04

  He just made her life easier than you did.

• 21:31Speaker 03

  He just didn't ruin her life.

• 21:33Speaker 04

  Right.

• 21:33Speaker 03

  Like, whereas I was like, you know, like, smoking cigarettes in the basement and like sneaking, like, filling her vodka with water after I drank it. Like, just being a piece of shit. And like, my brother was a, not nearly as big of a piece of shit.

• 21:46Speaker 04

  Interesting.

• 21:47Speaker 03

  And then now we've like balanced out, but there was definitely a deficit for years.

• 21:50Speaker 04

  Oh, really?

• 21:51Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 21:51Speaker 04

  So his life's gone bad in the second half?

• 21:53Speaker 03

  Not bad.

• 21:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, thank God. He's really doing poorly. And I'm doing everything I can to keep it that way. I will hold him down. You know, it's a marathon, not a sprint. So in the long run, I'll get him. Now, when it was, now, when you, because he's a little older. I mean, I forget, because I do love that you're, it's fun, it's so funny to be an immigrant, but it's England. Because it doesn't feel like it counts. Well, I try to make it count. But yeah, but they're like, where's colonizers? I'm like, nah, I'm in there. Come on now. ICE is coming after me, too. Yeah, that's right. I'm worried my British father is gonna be detained by ICE. Well, they're opening mouths, they're checking teeth. They're seeing if you got those British teeth.

• 23:53Stavros Halkias?

  But were you, I don't remember, were you born here or there? Yeah, I was born in Wisconsin, raised by English people. Your brother was born here as well? My brother was born in England. Okay. And, uh, and until he- Yeah, maybe he gets deported. That would be, that actually might not be so bad.

• 24:07Speaker 03

  I think that'll help him in the race. Yeah, but my mother lives there. I would, I need him here.

• 24:11Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:12Speaker 03

  Just so I can keep the race close.

• 24:13Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:14Speaker 03

  Um, but he was like, so he was an English kid who went to Cleveland Public School when he was seven, and she sent him to school in his uniform, in his school uniform. Hello, everyone. I'm like my ass kid. Like, he showed up like. Someone beat me mercilessly. He went in a British schoolboy uniform. Someone beat me with my whole water bottle. Yeah. And they fucking murdered him.

• 24:37Stavros Halkias?

  Oh my god. I'm trying to think what would have happened if we saw a British kid in Baltimore.

• 24:46Speaker 03

  And you're hungry.

• 24:47Stavros Halkias?

  Oh my god.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  They were just like, oh my god.

• 24:51Stavros Halkias?

  I wouldn't have been, I would be vibrating if I saw that. I would be so pumped to bully him.

• 24:58Speaker 03

  And that's what happened.

• 25:00Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah.

• 25:01Speaker 03

  He came home and he just had his hat in his hand and he was all scuffed up and he just goes, "I need new clothes."

• 25:11Speaker 03

  And he was trying to explain what a lunchbox was to her. He was like, "They put their lunch in boxes." And she was like, "In boxes? What are you talking about?" "No, you put it in a satchel like a good boy." "You go get beat up again. They'll learn to love you."

• 25:27Stavros Halkias?

  Oh my god.

• 25:29Speaker 03

  She had no, my, my family thought they were moving to Beverly Hills when they moved to America. They moved to Milwaukee, they moved to Cleveland and then Milwaukee. And my mother was like, you know, like packing like, like lays. She was like, "I'll need those when I get to the big city." And then she was like in the freezing cold, and just, literally, it's funny you brought up Andy Kaufman. She said she cried for the first year and the first time she laughed after a year was when Andy Kaufman did the Mighty Mouse thing on SNL. She said it was the first time she laughed in a year.

• 25:58Stavros Halkias?

  That's hilarious.

• 25:58Speaker 03

  And she was just in absolute hell.

• 26:01Stavros Halkias?

  That's crazy.

• 26:02Speaker 03

  And my dad was like on the road, like, you know.

• 26:04Stavros Halkias?

  What was he doing again?

• 26:05Speaker 03

  He was like at toy sales, he was like a toy guy.

• 26:07Stavros Halkias?

  The classic, the, the, he really was, it's the last generation of guys able to cheat by being a door-to-door salesman.

• 26:12Speaker 03

  He, listen, there's, he's really muddied the waters.

• 26:17Stavros Halkias?

  What the road life was like, but now that I'm on the road, I'm like, yeah.

• 26:20Speaker 03

  Come on.

• 26:21Stavros Halkias?

  You were at a Hyatt bar, you know, and then?

• 26:23Speaker 03

  Come on.

• 26:24Stavros Halkias?

  You had a bunch of Legos, stop.

• 26:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, you weren't.

• 26:27Stavros Halkias?

  Do you want to go see the Lego in my room?

• 26:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. Oh, do you have a boy? Why don't we look at some toys? Why don't you come back?

• 26:33Stavros Halkias?

  I can give you some freebies.

• 26:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, sucking dick for Legos, sucking some British guy's dick for Legos.

• 26:40Stavros Halkias?

  There you go. I'll let you know when it snaps into place.

• 26:43Speaker 03

  Mmm, splendid.

• 26:44Stavros Halkias?

  There we are.

• 26:45Speaker 03

  Getting your dick sucked and going splendid.

• 26:47Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, well done. Oh, good job there.

• 26:50Speaker 03

  Right.

• 26:51Stavros Halkias?

  Right into that one was. Bravo there, you. And that's probably a thrill if he's a door-to-door salesman in the Midwest.

• 26:59Speaker 03

  I mean, back like you're saying, it was like.

• 27:01Stavros Halkias?

  He's exotic is what I'm saying.

• 27:02Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 27:03Stavros Halkias?

  He could have cheated, easy.

• 27:04Speaker 03

  Yes, that's.

• 27:05Stavros Halkias?

  Is there anything on the record?

• 27:06Speaker 03

  There's, there's, there's, there's a couple, there's a couple marks on the permanent record. But let's just say in the long run, uh, my dad lives in Wisconsin, my mother lives in England, so, uh,

• 27:18Speaker 03

  they're not doing the long distance thing.

• 27:24Stavros Halkias?

  That's fucking awesome.

• 27:26Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, and, uh, but, but it was, it was like, they, I do think that now with like, I try to be like, I, I'm an immigrant too, you know, like I'm a first generation of people, like, no, English doesn't count.

• 27:37Stavros Halkias?

  Well, I was gonna say, she might have also just loved your brother more because they culturally are both, he was also born there, he probably had the accent, you're truly her American son.

• 27:47Speaker 03

  No, I, I, when I was 12 years old, I started wearing, I got a, I had a mullet, I had Z's in the side of my head, I had the eyebrow partially shaved, this all happened organically, and I wore a San Jose Sharks jacket.

• 27:59Stavros Halkias?

  Awesome.

• 28:00Speaker 03

  And she was just like, are you all right? Like, it was like I was a teen wolf. She was like, it's evening at night, you change a bit. And like my brother was pretty much way more, I mean, my brother still, like, when he talks to my mother, he's like, "Mum, it's not like that." I'm like, it's not how he talks when he's not around, just so you know. He's regular when you're not around. You're getting authentic me.

• 28:20Stavros Halkias?

  This is me always.

• 28:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:22Stavros Halkias?

  I don't put on a fucking voice.

• 28:23Speaker 03

  But she definitely was like losing me.

• 28:25Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 28:26Speaker 03

  But what, what do you, like, was that like what happened with you? You've, you've always held on to your heritage very strongly.

• 28:31Stavros Halkias?

  I've tried, yeah, I mean, I love, I do, you, you know, there's waves of it where it's like, you're sort of indoctrinated as a kid.

• 28:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:38Stavros Halkias?

  And then when you rebel against everything, I kind of didn't give a fuck about Greek shit for a while.

• 28:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:43Stavros Halkias?

  And also you were like, for me, we would go to Greece and the trips were dog shit. Cause it was like with my family and it was my dad pretending he was, my dad would like go to Greece and like, pretend he was doing awesome. Like, it would be like this weird five week, like, North Korea propaganda trip.

• 29:04Speaker 03

  And you're like sitting there.

• 29:05Stavros Halkias?

  And I'm like, why the fuck can we afford this? Like, we can't afford regular shit in America.

• 29:10Speaker 03

  We have a pool, shut up.

• 29:11Stavros Halkias?

  We're a fucking resource, like.

• 29:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:12Stavros Halkias?

  And it would be like, and he would save up like so much of his money and sometimes he would even take out like a loan, like, like, he would, he would fucking fleck and, and I would just, I would be like, this is kind of fun, but.

• 29:24Speaker 03

  Right.

• 29:24Stavros Halkias?

  It's weird.

• 29:25Speaker 03

  Well, when you grow up in that shit too, you don't real, it takes you so long to actually have the revelation of like,

• 29:30Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, totally.

• 29:31Speaker 03

  This is fucked up.

• 29:32Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, and, and, and like afterwards, we would like, we would come home and he would, it would be the worst month of the year. Is the month after we come back.

• 29:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, cause he.

• 29:41Stavros Halkias?

  And he spent all the money.

• 29:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:43Stavros Halkias?

  He's in his shitty house. He can't pretend he's like some fucking.

• 29:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:47Stavros Halkias?

  And so we would have to deal with him being really angry during those times.

• 29:50Speaker 03

  Christ.

• 29:51Stavros Halkias?

  And so I think when I put it all together, I was like, this, fuck this, whatever, I don't give a fuck. But now I've, I've been able to have my own relationship with Greek shit where I go back by myself. I see the family I like.

• 30:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:03Stavros Halkias?

  I see the family friends I like.

• 30:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:05Stavros Halkias?

  I, sometimes I don't, I take a week, I don't see anybody. I just go do my own shit. I actually have a good vacation.

• 30:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:10Stavros Halkias?

  And so I am trying to, and like now when there is like, you know, friends of mine and my brother had a kid. And now I'm like, oh, fuck, there's a part of this, this is like, you have to pass this on to other, to the next generation.

• 30:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:23Stavros Halkias?

  And I'm looking around, it's like, if it's gonna be anybody, it's gonna be me. So that makes me feel like I should like, I'm thinking about taking Greek lesson, like I'm fluent, but you know, I don't barely speak it.

• 30:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:32Stavros Halkias?

  So I'm thinking about like actually taking some language lessons, getting more involved. Next year, when I have the time, I think I'm gonna go for a whole month and like really fucking.

• 30:41Speaker 03

  Do you do gigs there?

• 30:42Stavros Halkias?

  No, I'm go- I will next year. I was gonna, I was going to this year and then the scheduling got fucked up. But they have, they're starting to have enough of a scene where like, I know friends of mine have gone, you probably, you probably know people too have done Athens as a gig.

• 30:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:56Stavros Halkias?

  And they say it's good, you know, they don't speak Greek at all, they do it in English, so.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  See, when I would go to England, they were so, it was, it was so debaucherous so early.

• 31:07Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 31:07Speaker 03

  Like, it really was shot, like, everything that we started doing in like, Wisconsin, they started like, three years earlier. Like, they were legit fucking at like, twelve. And, and, and they were like, when I was a virgin at like, twelve or thirteen, they were like, "Mike, come on!" And I was like, I was like, "I don't have pews!" I was like, "I have like, five pews!" And they, and weed, and drinking, and then, fucking, I would be, I was like, fifteen, smoking opium. And then I would like, I, I would come back to Wisconsin and like, my friends would be like, totally convinced that I was full of shit.

• 31:43Stavros Halkias?

  Of course.

• 31:44Speaker 03

  Cause I'd be like, "I fucked two girls."

• 31:45Stavros Halkias?

  And smoked, and smoked a, a drug from the eighteen hundreds. I, I smoked the kind of drugs Louis Dreyfus used to bring in through shipments of cotton.

• 31:55Speaker 03

  Who, by the way, is no-

• 31:56Stavros Halkias?

  Has normal hands, and I don't even care what religion he is.

• 32:00Speaker 03

  I don't even see that at all, honestly, when I see that guy, it just is a big beard, that's what I see. It's the only thing, and that's the way it'll always be for me. Despite what a clip may say. Yeah, someone was also saying some stuff over yonder about racism that has to be included in that. Legally. But no, it was, I'd come back, I'd be, I like, I had like, fucked two girls, like, when I was like, fourteen, I came back, I was fucking, I mean, they were just partying.

• 32:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah. And then my friends- That was not my experience in Greece, it was all lock and key.

• 32:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:33Stavros Halkias?

  And I do think that's what Greek kids were like, but my parents just watched, my dad, like, they just would watch us like, we, we weren't allowed to just go out and do fun stuff.

• 32:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:42Stavros Halkias?

  Cause they were scared, they were, they were kinda, I don't know, they were- I don't know if it was like helicopter parents or if they had some kind of weird. Part of me, like honestly, the way my parents, my dad in particular reacts, I'm like. Sometimes I'm like, did I get molested and black it out? Because whenever they don't, whenever they would like lose me for like an hour or like weren't sure where I was. My dad would freak the fuck out and I'm like, did I get fucked when I was four and forget? Cause that's how they react. That's and they wouldn't let us go to sleepovers and I'm like, that's pretty classic. Or did they, did my dad?

• 33:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 33:15Stavros Halkias?

  My dad get fucking greet.

• 33:17Speaker 03

  Look, I mean, but that that makes more sense with the posturing of like being, I'm doing great.

• 33:22Stavros Halkias?

  Sure.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  I'm crushing it.

• 33:24Stavros Halkias?

  Anyway, that's some, I literally have that where I'm like, I literally in the past have been like, think hard.

• 33:28Speaker 03

  The best.

• 33:29Stavros Halkias?

  Somebody made you suck his dick when you were a child and I'm like, I'm coming up blank. But I'm like, why were my parents so like protective? Like they wouldn't let me sleep at your house.

• 33:39Speaker 04

  My parents were like super protective about like, uh, especially sleepovers or.

• 33:44Stavros Halkias?

  It was the, the only time ever, I think it was like us when we were, by the time we were like 14 or some shit.

• 33:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's a weird time to be allowed to finally sleep over. 14 is far too old.

• 33:53Stavros Halkias?

  And by that point, it was like, just, it was like just crashing with your, it was like the earliest, just crashing with your boy.

• 33:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 33:59Stavros Halkias?

  Was the vibe, but it was like, yeah, it was like, maybe, maybe not 14, but like six, 12 or some shit like that.

• 34:04Speaker 04

  I think it's more like protective immigrant family. Like you're in a foreign culture that you just don't fully feel a part of. So you don't know like how you can trust like a complete stranger or like, I don't know.

• 34:14Stavros Halkias?

  That's true. I guess they did make, yeah, it was like your house. And then one time when I really asked and they knew the guy, like the family well, they're like, oh, you can go there.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  Well, that's what I felt like as a, a child of immigrants too. I mean, that immigrant story, you know, it's just very similar.

• 34:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 34:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, non-colonizing.

• 34:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, just.

• 34:33Speaker 03

  Immigrant story.

• 34:34Stavros Halkias?

  Well, it is funny because clearly you weren't doing well as a family if you ended up in fucking Cleveland in Wisconsin to sell Legos. Like no one, no, no, no member of the house of lords is moving his family to fucking the Midwest.

• 34:48Speaker 03

  Well, you know what's so funny too is like the fact that she, my mother thought she was like going to California based. It's like, I'm like, look, I'm not saying the internet was around, but how did you not?

• 34:58Stavros Halkias?

  You could have done a little reading.

• 34:59Speaker 03

  Like a little bit, a little bit of research.

• 35:02Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, it's also like that being your only. For frame of reference for America.

• 35:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 35:07Stavros Halkias?

  It's pretty great.

• 35:08Speaker 03

  It was just like move, they were just like, oh yeah, palm trees.

• 35:10Stavros Halkias?

  Beverly Hills.

• 35:11Speaker 03

  Beverly Hills, movie stars.

• 35:13Stavros Halkias?

  And your dad didn't tell her or anything like that?

• 35:15Speaker 03

  No, it seemed like, I think he was like, should probably not want to do it, so I'm not gonna tell her to move to the Arctic.

• 35:20Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, what was the idea that, that he was gonna sell toys for a British company? What's the idea?

• 35:24Speaker 03

  No, well, I don't remember what he's first, I don't remember, I think he, so he basically started running Brio Toys. Do you remember Brio? It was like wooden railway, it was like.

• 35:34Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  It was like a weird, like Swedish toy company.

• 35:39Stavros Halkias?

  I actually do think I, if there's something in my head, yeah.

• 35:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, so it was like this shit.

• 35:44Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 35:44Speaker 03

  And so he, he like started working there and then he like advanced, so then it was like, you know, like we were like middle.

• 35:51Stavros Halkias?

  The American office?

• 35:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, exactly, yeah. And then so it was like, you know, it was like, we had a real like, it's so funny to like talk about middle class. But it was like, we were like a comfortable, middle-class family eventually.

• 36:03Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 36:03Speaker 03

  But I think I came around when things were like doing well, but like when they moved, I think it was like terrible.

• 36:08Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 36:09Speaker 03

  And my mother was depressed and they were, it sounds, like, and the fact that they had a horrendous marriage, I was like, yeah, well, what the fuck did you think was gonna happen?

• 36:16Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:17Speaker 03

  And then I combine that with the fact that my, my mother, so, it's so fucking complicated. But my father is not my brother's father, even though he's adopted him. My mother, when she was nineteen, got pregnant with him and her parents raised him to think that they were his parents and that she was his sister. And then when he was like seven, when they were gonna move to the States, they were like, this is your mom.

• 36:44Stavros Halkias?

  What the fu- what? And then six months later, he's getting his shit kicked out of him in a uniform by his sister? His sister packed him a fucked up lunch? And dressed him like an asshole?

• 36:56Speaker 03

  Well, when you put it like that, it's a rough year for a seven-year-old. We're better than, well, the kids beat it out of him, which was nice.

• 37:05Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah, also, of course she liked him more, dude, and she's like.

• 37:08Speaker 03

  She's, it's a, yeah, there's the guilt.

• 37:10Stavros Halkias?

  So, it's the guilt, it's also your, your dad, who was the dickhead who dragged her to America.

• 37:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:16Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? Like, you definitely carry that baggage, for sure.

• 37:19Speaker 03

  Dude, she, she was like fifteen years later, she was like, bullshit Cleveland, he's like, what? Nothing, nothing, um, how spicy do you want dinner?

• 37:28Stavros Halkias?

  When they were gonna move, they dropped it on him?

• 37:30Speaker 03

  I'm pretty, it was, I'm pretty sure it was right around there.

• 37:32Stavros Halkias?

  Wow.

• 37:32Speaker 03

  She was in London like. Like working for like Wrigley's or something and then and and but my brother's like most balanced dude.

• 37:40Stavros Halkias?

  That's insane.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  It's just because they like piled trauma on his plate at seven.

• 37:45Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 37:46Speaker 03

  And then it was like his life got easier from there.

• 37:48Stavros Halkias?

  That's one of those like if he doesn't snap then he's gonna be good forever.

• 37:51Speaker 03

  And he is, he's the most chill, like he takes everything in stride.

• 37:54Stavros Halkias?

  That's incredible.

• 37:55Speaker 03

  Probably because he thought his mother was his sister and then he got thrown to Cleveland in a school, he dressed like Angus Young at Cleveland Public High School.

• 38:06Stavros Halkias?

  That's fucking nuts dude. So when did she finally was like, alright, fuck this, I'm going back to England?

• 38:12Speaker 03

  Well, they got divorced when I was like 14.

• 38:16Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  And then it was, I went to school in Boston and then my, and I moved out to LA and then my brother was just like, wanted to leave Wisconsin. Then he moved to LA and then like two years later, she was like, well, there's no reason for me to be here. So then she just moved back and then she like ended up taking care of her mother a lot. And then, and then she actually moved back to LA, she moved to LA for a little while.

• 38:37Stavros Halkias?

  Get a little piece of the Beverly Hills dream.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, right, yeah.

• 38:40Stavros Halkias?

  How ironic that both her fucking sons end up where she thought she was gonna live.

• 38:45Speaker 03

  Well, and then she's like in Glendale and she's like, where are the movie stars? Oh my god. Does it even exist?

• 38:51Stavros Halkias?

  Why are these hairy Armenians accosting me?

• 38:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, and so, and then she, now she just lives there full time and like, you know, it's, you know.

• 39:00Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 39:01Speaker 03

  It's small town, it's easy.

• 39:02Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 39:03Speaker 03

  She knows it.

• 39:04Stavros Halkias?

  It's nice dude, I, I went for the first time, although I guess I have just gone.

• 39:09Speaker 03

  Oh yeah.

• 39:09Stavros Halkias?

  I've just come back and it was awesome, I loved it.

• 39:12Speaker 03

  What was your favorite thing to do?

• 39:12Stavros Halkias?

  Going back again, no, I went, I went last summer, um, and I actually will take if you have any fucking little tips or whatever from you, I'm sure you go.

• 39:19Speaker 03

  Well, if you have a kid, tell him that you're his, uh, you're his brother.

• 39:22Stavros Halkias?

  If I have a 12 year old, get him some pussy.

• 39:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, get him some pussy, say you're his brother and uh, fucking run away, you're fine, don't worry about it.

• 39:28Stavros Halkias?

  Um, no, I really, I did actually really like it and the countryside shit over there.

• 39:32Speaker 03

  That's where she basically lives.

• 39:34Stavros Halkias?

  It's like, it is. It's exactly what you think it's gonna be.

• 39:38Speaker 03

  You.

• 39:39Stavros Halkias?

  Little cottages.

• 39:40Speaker 03

  Totally.

• 39:40Stavros Halkias?

  Little villages.

• 39:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:42Stavros Halkias?

  It's cute. It's like a contained town. Like I was, I was staying an hour outside of London.

• 39:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:47Stavros Halkias?

  And it was like, you might as well have been five hours outside of London.

• 39:50Speaker 03

  That's what I like. I mean, I, I like the cities, but it's really, there's so much countryside.

• 39:55Stavros Halkias?

  It was fucking beautiful.

• 39:56Speaker 03

  It feels very, like, we here, even like, you know, there are like many areas that are just green or whatever, but eh, there's still too much shit. Like there you actually have legitimate like countryside cottages.

• 40:08Stavros Halkias?

  Well, that's the thing.

• 40:08Speaker 03

  Local, small pubs.

• 40:10Stavros Halkias?

  The thing about it that makes it awesome is that here you can get away, but you're away from everything.

• 40:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 40:15Stavros Halkias?

  You're almost too isolated.

• 40:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 40:17Stavros Halkias?

  There, you're in a village and it's like, you're like, someone has been of, like, what you think of as a medieval villager existed exactly where you are for, for like last like 600 years. And so it's built around, people have lived there communally forever, for like a thousand years. And so there is little villages. There are little, you know, there is little, like you go into the little town and there's like a grocery store, there's a whatever.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  Local, smaller. That's what, that's what we lack here so much. There's still some of it, but it's like everywhere you go, you're like, I guess Chipotle? Like, they, they really do. They have like, everywhere's a small pub. You feel like Bourdain. You're just like,

• 40:55Stavros Halkias?

  Totally.

• 40:55Speaker 03

  You know, everything's local.

• 40:57Stavros Halkias?

  And it was nice. It was good.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  Beers are local, but it is just simpler. I go there and I'm like, just eat like way easier little existence and you know, it's nice to not be able to get everything all the time. Like,

• 41:09Stavros Halkias?

  Totally.

• 41:10Speaker 03

  When I've toured Europe, you are like, there are times, I remember we finished a show once on a Sunday and it was like 9:30 and we were like, can we get some food? And the guy was like, ooh.

• 41:18Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 41:18Speaker 03

  I don't know if that's gonna happen.

• 41:19Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, depending on where you are, if you're in fucking Greece, they're just start opening the restaurants at 9:30.

• 41:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, right, right, yeah.

• 41:25Stavros Halkias?

  Some places are open till fucking.

• 41:26Speaker 03

  I was in like Denmark and the guy was like, oof.

• 41:29Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, good luck.

• 41:29Speaker 03

  I don't know. He should have told me he wanted to eat at four.

• 41:32Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 41:33Speaker 03

  It's Sunday, you know, I was like, yeah, is that a Taco Bell?

• 41:35Stavros Halkias?

  No, I agree with you. I love when things were just, they were just, they were like, yeah, sorry.

• 41:40Speaker 03

  It's better.

• 41:40Stavros Halkias?

  It's a Sunday.

• 41:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:41Stavros Halkias?

  When people like confuse, you're like, you wanted to go to the electronics store on a Sunday at nine?

• 41:46Speaker 03

  When places close, like, like in Australia, there's like, or wherever, there's places that close from like, one to five. And you're like, yeah, no, you shouldn't, you just shouldn't be able to have access to everything, every moment of the fucking day.

• 41:58Stavros Halkias?

  I, I fully agree. I almost like, I even miss, like, in America, you, you only got that for holidays for a while.

• 42:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:06Stavros Halkias?

  It was like, you have to go do your shopping, you know, if you need something for Christmas dinner, you better go early Christmas, they're closing early on Christmas. Now it's like,

• 42:14Speaker 03

  You ha- yeah.

• 42:15Stavros Halkias?

  It's 10 a.m. on Christmas. I'm like, ah, I'll go over to the grocery store, get whatever. And I feel like an asshole. It's like, why are these people working?

• 42:21Speaker 03

  I, I, exactly.

• 42:22Stavros Halkias?

  Things should be closed.

• 42:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're just like, you really are. You're like, why the fuck, why are they working?

• 42:26Stavros Halkias?

  It sucks, dude.

• 42:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, it really does. And that, I think that was Black Friday every year. I'm like, man, this is just the fucking, this is the most dystopian capitalist shit ever.

• 42:33Stavros Halkias?

  That was the worst, when it was like, we took this beautiful day, where it was like, there's nothing to do. And they're like, let's fill it with shopping.

• 42:40Speaker 03

  What if they beat the shit out of each other for a CD player?

• 42:42Stavros Halkias?

  Instead of spending time with their families.

• 42:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:44Stavros Halkias?

  Why did, why don't they just?

• 42:45Speaker 03

  Make them get up early.

• 42:46Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 42:47Speaker 03

  Make them wait in line and get agitated at each other.

• 42:49Stavros Halkias?

  It's the, it's the beautiful little, it's the most like, delicious day of like, nothing.

• 42:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:56Stavros Halkias?

  Right after Thanksgiving.

• 42:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:57Stavros Halkias?

  You got two weekend days coming up. That should be the like lounge. Any company that makes you work on Black Friday.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  I mean, I like talk about that on stage. Man, it is shocking, the level of people who are like, I don't care for your anti-billioner stuff.

• 43:10Stavros Halkias?

  It's crazy, dude.

• 43:11Speaker 03

  Dude, it's so-

• 43:11Stavros Halkias?

  It's not gonna be you, man. You're not gonna, like,

• 43:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know.

• 43:15Stavros Halkias?

  I'm rich, right? I am. I've gotten really lucky. I am so much closer to a homeless person than I am even somebody with half a billion dollars. Like, the amount of power I have in society is closer. And that's what people, like, no one is trying to stop you from being a successful, like, you wanna have a successful business and have a lot of money, whatever. We're not taking your money, idiot. We're talking about Jeff Bezos.

• 43:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:39Stavros Halkias?

  We're talking about the people, we're talking about the guys that go to space for fun.

• 43:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:42Stavros Halkias?

  You'll never have space for fun money. You'll never have it.

• 43:45Speaker 03

  Well, and then it's like, the way that they're just like- Food stamps, that's the issue. Like, I don't understand how you can-

• 43:50Stavros Halkias?

  We can't let a lady who on food stamps get a soda.

• 43:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's the fucking craziest shit.

• 43:54Stavros Halkias?

  Get the fuck out of here. That pisses me off so much.

• 43:56Speaker 03

  I mean, this is America.

• 43:57Stavros Halkias?

  Poor people don't deserve fucking-

• 43:58Speaker 03

  They deserve soda more than anybody.

• 44:00Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 44:02Speaker 03

  Jesus Christ.

• 44:02Stavros Halkias?

  The whole country's fat as fuck. They can't have a little fast food?

• 44:05Speaker 03

  Well, and then if you look in like 2012, like Zuckerberg was worth like 2 billion.

• 44:10Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 44:11Speaker 03

  It's like in 13 years, the level of hundreds of billions, it's like- Even if we went back to that and capped it there now, that would be like enough.

• 44:20Stavros Halkias?

  Cap it at 2 billion, you're fine.

• 44:23Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 44:23Stavros Halkias?

  You're fine.

• 44:24Speaker 03

  That's plenty.

• 44:25Stavros Halkias?

  Plenty. Anyway, whatever.

• 44:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 44:27Stavros Halkias?

  Fuck these people.

• 44:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:28Stavros Halkias?

  And if you're sucking billionaire dick, you're a piece of shit.

• 44:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:31Stavros Halkias?

  They're fucking your ass. Wake up, idiot.

• 44:33Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:34Stavros Halkias?

  Anyway, let's help some people with some fucking, with some, uh, with some questions here, Aldous.

• 44:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:39Stavros Halkias?

  We clearly know what the fuck's going on.

• 44:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:42Stavros Halkias?

  We're two of the smartest guys these people have ever fucking heard of.

• 44:45Speaker 03

  I mean, listen back. Look at our careers.

• 44:50Speaker 03

  Well, you did though. You got like elevated as a solid voice of the-

• 44:55Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah, just for-

• 44:56Speaker 03

  But only for speaking like sense.

• 44:58Stavros Halkias?

  Dude, and believe me, the amount of people who wanted me to become like a political-

• 45:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:03Stavros Halkias?

  It's like, I'm not doing that.

• 45:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:05Stavros Halkias?

  I'm a fucking comedian.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 45:06Stavros Halkias?

  And a big problem is comedians thinking they're smart.

• 45:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:09Stavros Halkias?

  I'm not smart.

• 45:10Speaker 03

  Well, it's worked out pretty well with those.

• 45:11Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I know, but it's like, but it's like, the whole point is like, you don't have to be smart to realize we're getting fucked.

• 45:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:17Stavros Halkias?

  You know, like, that's all there is to it. It's like, the absolute ultra-rich are fucking everyone else's ass. There's no other conspiracy. It's so fucking obvious and simple.

• 45:28Speaker 03

  It's crazy.

• 45:28Stavros Halkias?

  We don't have to make up conspiracy theories. The people with all the resources keep fucking you to take more of the resources. That's all there is to it. And yes, any kind of like, there's no control, no shadowy people control shit. The people who control it tell you that they're fucking controlling it. They buy all the fuck-

• 45:45Speaker 03

  They brag about it.

• 45:46Stavros Halkias?

  It's crazy, dude. It's fucking nuts.

• 45:49Speaker 03

  Alright, sorry.

• 45:49Stavros Halkias?

  Anyway, let's keep going.

• 45:54Speaker 06

  Hey Stavi, Aldis, yes. It's not playing, big kid. So, this is my question. Okay, whatever. Uh, forty-four now. When I was thirteen, my first boyfriend and I, uh, we were pretty much, you know, in love, puppy love. Thirteen. Uh, he was a chunky kid and we really clicked. Good for you. And I didn't care. I loved him anyway. Yeah. And we were just, you know, on the same wavelength. So, things got pretty intense when we were like thirteen, fourteen. He would sneak out of the house, come over to my house. He'd rap on the window. I would let him in. We would just screw around all night long, age thirteen. Yeah, she's real pretty.

• 46:38Speaker 06

  Going at it, everything but sex, you know, like titty fucking, blowjob. Okay. Uh, it was really, really good. No, no, it's okay, no. Crazy stuff. We got it. It's just always nice to hear titty fucking. You know, and then we kind of broke up throughout high school, but we always stayed friends and, um, senior year, you know, came together, dated a little bit, finally screwed, you know, so. Screwed. Always, you know, talking, hanging out.

• 47:06Speaker 06

  Fast forward to twenty twenty. Twenty twenty. And we start chatting, texting, twenty years, never seen each other, no talking. Hmm. And in twenty twenty, we start chatting and we've been texting for five years. That's all it's been. Huh. He's in a different state, but we are really, really good friends now. Okay. And we've gotten to know each other as adults and not children. And, um, you know, consider him one of my best friends and I think vice versa. And, um, so my question is, and you know, through our texting, he told me, you know, that time with you when I was a kid. Those were the best orgasms I've ever had in my life. I don't really need to think.

• 47:48Speaker 06

  Um, you know, I remember one time, he came so hard, it shot on my wall and it was stuck on my picture frame.

• 47:54Stavros Halkias?

  That's just being a teenager.

• 47:54Speaker 06

  First of all, yeah, he's thirteen and getting pussy.

• 47:56Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean.

• 47:57Speaker 06

  Do you understand how awesome that would be to me? I've, I can't even imagine. I was so far away from that.

• 48:02Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 48:03Speaker 06

  That's when.

• 48:04Stavros Halkias?

  That's how you used to patch walls. That's how you used to patch holes in your wall.

• 48:07Speaker 06

  He told me, that was the best time of my life. So, I guess my question to you is, now that we're adults, you know, in a position where we could meet up.

• 48:18Speaker 06

  Uh, should we like meet up and fuck, you know, should we meet up and try to date? Like, what do you think that we should do?

• 48:24Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 48:25Speaker 06

  What are the pros and cons of of this? And like I said, we've been just texting for five years. So it's not been physical, it's just been a friendship like it started out when we were kids. Um, so what do you think we should do? All right. Thank you. Bye.

• 48:44Stavros Halkias?

  Well, I think it's kind of wild they haven't met up yet.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it's also not just a friendship if he's talking about how good the orgasms were.

• 48:52Stavros Halkias?

  What it what this is? Yes, no, no, no. This guy's just a coward who wants to fuck you, I think.

• 48:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:59Stavros Halkias?

  Or whatever, maybe he's, I mean, he's pussy.

• 49:02Speaker 03

  Be in something too.

• 49:03Stavros Halkias?

  Footing it around. Yes, he might be. Yes, this that's true. Are you sure he's single? Whatever, you know, that's important to know. Um.

• 49:10Speaker 03

  Well, what do you think? I mean, should they?

• 49:13Stavros Halkias?

  I look, I don't see the downside.

• 49:15Speaker 04

  They live, they live in separate states.

• 49:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 49:17Speaker 04

  Which she said, yeah.

• 49:18Speaker 03

  But still.

• 49:18Stavros Halkias?

  But still, it's like, what's the doubt? Worst case scenario, you meet up, you make a little trip of it. You see if there's, you know, worst case scenario, like you stay friend, you just meet up. These people have a history, you know, and it's like, you could give it a shot, see if you like it. You definitely do. I mean, this.

• 49:36Speaker 03

  That that's that's what, but I also would lower the bar of like, he's he's not gonna be like shooting loads on the wall. I mean, this is like twenty years later, like you'll be lucky if he hits one on the pillow. Like, you know what I mean? This is, he's not gonna be shot putting like his Olympic days.

• 49:49Stavros Halkias?

  I think I think the lower the bar jizz wise and also and also emotionally too, because it's like, you know, this feels a little storybook like.

• 50:00Speaker 03

  And it's like.

• 50:01Stavros Halkias?

  First love turns into who you whatever.

• 50:03Speaker 03

  The time away really ages things well.

• 50:06Stavros Halkias?

  And nostalgia, nothing stronger than nostalgia. If your life's bad.

• 50:09Speaker 03

  Your first titty fuck is.

• 50:11Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, dude.

• 50:12Speaker 03

  You carry that with you forever.

• 50:13Stavros Halkias?

  Fucking crying.

• 50:14Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? That's your just, your first titty fuck. Come on. If your first titty fuck reaches out, you go back.

• 50:20Stavros Halkias?

  You go back. You chat for five years.

• 50:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, maybe you gotta hold him a little tighter, but still.

• 50:25Stavros Halkias?

  Exactly, exactly. So, um, I think like, yeah, the pros and cons are, the pros are like, could be fun. What, you know, whatever, you might have a real connection here. What are you? I guess the thing is, what are you looking for out of this?

• 50:39Speaker 03

  She's, she's, I think she would be worried that. You know, maybe she would feel emotionally attached and then it's logistically so complicated. But that's one of those things where it's like, well, then then you know, at least because you're like middling too much right now.

• 50:56Stavros Halkias?

  I would say you kind of should give it a shot because clearly there's somebody you've talked to for five years.

• 51:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's so long.

• 51:02Stavros Halkias?

  They're in your life. Is it, you're saying it's a friendship, but is it possibly stopping you from finding somebody else? Like, are you, are you, you know what I mean?

• 51:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:12Stavros Halkias?

  Is this, is this?

• 51:13Speaker 03

  I also, it's almost like call the bluff because for a dude to only be texting for five years and texting about how good his come was back like.

• 51:24Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, sure.

• 51:25Speaker 03

  He clear, like, say you want to meet up and see what he does because there's a chance that then he might go like, I can't. I'm like in something, like find out because.

• 51:34Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, you could just be like him, you could just be like a way for him to tap into his nostalgia.

• 51:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:40Stavros Halkias?

  You could just be a physical reminder, whatever, and you should know, what do you want? Like, do you, if you want to try and date, I get it. I totally do understand it if you have this like chemistry, it does feel romantic on some level, even though, you know. I, I love how they're both, she's like, yeah, titty fucks and he's like, yeah, I used to jizz so hard, like.

• 52:01Speaker 03

  Saying screw for your first.

• 52:02Stavros Halkias?

  I know, I love the.

• 52:02Speaker 03

  Screw is great.

• 52:03Stavros Halkias?

  She's awesome. I love her, but so, yeah, look, you need to go, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And I do think clearly this is occupying a lot of space in your head.

• 52:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:13Stavros Halkias?

  And I think even you're as kids, you said it was like, kind of will they, won't they? You only really dated a little bit in senior year, like you might just owe it to yourself to give this a shot. See if there's anything real here, you might get there and it might not, you might just not feel it, right?

• 52:30Speaker 03

  Like, it's worth doing it.

• 52:31Stavros Halkias?

  It's worth just, and then one way or the other, you have to decide. Either you're truly trying to make this work and you think it's an actual somebody you can be with in a serious way. Or you just stop talking this much because if, if it's, this isn't a regular friendship. This isn't like, this clearly, this person clearly has a very specific part. Occupies a specific part of your mind and you know unless you can both agree like alright, let's just be friends and you text each other like a handful of times a year, you know what I mean? This becomes one of those like, oh, great to see you, or if you bump into each other in your hometown, you have a chat, but it's nothing more than that, that's fine. I'm not saying you have to tell her to fuck off,

• 53:12Stavros Halkias?

  but either you give it a shot or you stop with this weird, you're kind of engaging in the same pattern as you were in in high school by kind of being on again, off again.

• 53:22Speaker 03

  Have you had those where like, cause I've had those over the years where it's like even like on the road, like you'll meet and then you're like texting a lot for like ages and you're like, what the fuck? What am I doing? It's kind of a weird, it's kind of a weird comfort thing that I don't think is necessarily helpful.

• 53:37Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, I I fully agree. I think it's like this weird, they're sort of like, at least it's a real person, but you're basically, you're kind of using a person the way people now use chat GPT. And it's like, it's like, at least this is a real person, but it's like, and it's in a way it still is fake. If you if you never meet up with him and you're talking to him constantly, it's like you're still pouring your energy into something that's, you know, not really there. You were about to say something, Aldous?

• 54:04Speaker 04

  I was just gonna say, you guys kind of like joked about it with a titty fucking thing, but I feel like especially when men get older, like there is like just a wistful, like sad nostalgia to like things that are like related, you know, that remind you of like sex in your youth. And it's like, yeah, just to go with what you're saying, like he probably is just tapping into that. Like, what is he doing with the rest of his life? Like, is it going good? Or is this just like an escape for him to like?

• 54:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, you need to find out one way there, because the other thing is, I would say, thinking about being, she said he was chunky and she didn't care, she liked him. If I was 13 and a girl like look, you know, like at that time, like believed in me, whatever. And then here's the other thing. Sometimes that person gives you confidence and you believe in yourself forever and then you're like, you're good.

• 54:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 54:53Stavros Halkias?

  That might have been the best, that, that might have been the best, the, the most a woman was in, like, loved that guy.

• 54:59Speaker 03

  That's why he shot such hard loads.

• 55:01Stavros Halkias?

  That's why his lows were so viscous. That might, like, he, he might, that might, he might have peaked at 13, right? And so, yes, that's a very good point. I think you need to kind of meet up and figure out, is this real? Cause yes, this, you might be an escape to the good old days and him not wanting to make anything real of it could, could mean that like, cause he doesn't want it to be real. He wants it to just be this ethereal, I'm talking to the girl and he's just remembering back then. He's not thinking of you as who you actually are. He's, he's, you're just a manifestation of his best memories. So that's why I think you have to give it a shot to see if it can even be real. And if it's not, you just gotta get the fuck out of there.

• 55:42Speaker 03

  Yeah. At least you'll know.

• 55:43Stavros Halkias?

  You'll know one way or the other.

• 55:44Speaker 03

  And even if it gets more complicated, it's like, well, at least then you can make a decision and shit or get off the pot.

• 55:49Stavros Halkias?

  And also.

• 55:50Speaker 03

  Or jizz or get out of the pit.

• 55:51Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, jizz or get off the wall.

• 55:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 55:54Stavros Halkias?

  Jizz. But I think like, also our friend here seems pretty fun. She might not even mind just meeting up, fucking, having a good weekend and then be like, alright.

• 56:04Speaker 03

  Good screw.

• 56:05Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:06Speaker 03

  Good titty screw.

• 56:07Stavros Halkias?

  Have a titty screw for old times sake.

• 56:09Speaker 03

  Have a good titty screw.

• 56:10Stavros Halkias?

  And then move on.

• 56:11Speaker 03

  Leave money for the maid. Good night.

• 56:14Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, good old fashioned tit screw.

• 56:20Speaker 03

  A tit screw.

• 56:21Stavros Halkias?

• 57:19Speaker 07

  Hey Stavi, Eldis, and Deft. Uh, just wanted to reach out. Need a little bit of advice. So basically, I was raised a Jehovah's Witness.

• 57:31Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 57:32Speaker 07

  And I decided to leave when I was 25. And, and that religion, whenever you leave the, the cult or the church, uh, basically your whole family shuns you.

• 57:43Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 57:43Speaker 07

  Um, but my wife, um, and I have a, a little baby. Um, and my mom is trying to have a relationship with the baby because in that religion, you can still talk to someone who's not been baptized in the religion.

• 58:04Stavros Halkias?

  What?

• 58:05Speaker 07

  So my wife, she's from Sweden.

• 58:07Stavros Halkias?

  You can talk to heathens? Yeah. But not people who are baptized and don't go to church, basically? That's more like innocents than heathens. They just haven't had a chance to get baptized. But that's, but that's a real loophole though. Anyway, keep going.

• 58:19Speaker 07

  Very religious. My mom keeps reaching out to my wife and saying, you know, hey, we'd love to have a relationship with your, or grandson. Um, obviously, you know, Steven can't be there, but we'd like to meet up with you and.

• 58:36Stavros Halkias?

  Sounds like your friend is a baby. So because his wife wasn't, this is what I'm talking about though. This is a loophole. His wife is no longer an innocent. She's rejecting the religion. So you can, you can talk to an adult who's not baptized, but because he's been baptized, she can't talk. I mean, that's insane. Yeah. That they think that's even on the table is fucking insane. It's a very weird contract they have with. That's insane. Yeah. God is gonna be like, oh, yeah, it makes sense. Keep going, Elvis.

• 59:03Speaker 07

  So, my wife's a little confused on what to do in reference to that. I'm saying no because

• 59:09Stavros Halkias?

  Of course.

• 59:09Speaker 07

  Obviously fuck them.

• 59:11Stavros Halkias?

  Of course, no!

• 59:12Speaker 07

  If they can't have a relationship with me, they shouldn't have a relationship with my son.

• 59:14Stavros Halkias?

  Of course!

• 59:15Speaker 07

  My wife is a little bit like, you know, hey, it's your mom, maybe you should have, you know, interaction with, uh, our son, but I obviously respect you as well, so just need a little bit of advice.

• 59:27Stavros Halkias?

  Dude, that's insane that your wife is not-

• 59:30Speaker 07

  To, or in relation to, uh, this situation, so

• 59:36Stavros Halkias?

  I mean-

• 59:36Speaker 07

  Decided to reach out to-

• 59:37Stavros Halkias?

  It runs in the, your whole life has been being gaslit by the women in your life? Clearly, like, you went from your mom to your wife. Like, what the fuck is this bullshit? How is your wife not like, obviously not, you can't see my son if his father's not there? That, the fact that your wife is entertaining, this is actually fucking crazy.

• 59:55Speaker 03

  That is a, I mean, I mean, you don't wanna get into that too much, but that is a fucking red flag.

• 1:00:00Stavros Halkias?

  That's insane. And now, maybe it comes from a place of like, really valuing the relationship with his, the kid's grandmother, but it's like, clearly, they have some fucked up, like, when I first heard this, when he first started, I thought like, oh, I thought the, the problem would be like, can I get over how they used to treat me now that they wanna be in my life with my kid?

• 1:00:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it's, no, you don't even allow it.

• 1:00:24Stavros Halkias?

  We wanna keep shunning you?

• 1:00:26Speaker 03

  Cause he was baptized.

• 1:00:27Stavros Halkias?

  But, ooh, look at the baby. Like, oh, but now there's something good for me, so I wanna look at the baby. Like, fuck them!

• 1:00:32Speaker 03

  I would secretly baptize the wife, and then she's out of the equation. She can't be a part of it, and maybe the kid, and then they both rejecting the religion.

• 1:00:40Stavros Halkias?

  Baptize everyone, yeah, yeah. But no, dude, obviously, this is fucking insane.

• 1:00:44Speaker 03

  No, you can't do that.

• 1:00:46Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:46Speaker 03

  You, you cannot, I mean-

• 1:00:47Stavros Halkias?

  You should have some whole, you should be like, you should, yeah, they're about to meet them, and you should be with a, a sniper, a sniper with holy water.

• 1:00:54Speaker 03

  A balloon of holy water above them?

• 1:00:57Stavros Halkias?

  Boom! No! A priest with, in a hot air balloon with a frog, with a bullhorn. You are the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the-

• 1:01:08Stavros Halkias?

  Your mom takes the holy water balloon. Yeah, dude, I mean, your wife's a fucking idiot for even, I mean, look, whatever, maybe she's coming from places.

• 1:01:18Speaker 03

  Well, she's probably, I mean, I don't know, there's probably a lot of confusion with in that you want to have like your child that have a relationship with the family so she, but I, I would say.

• 1:01:28Stavros Halkias?

  She thinks she can soften her up.

• 1:01:30Speaker 03

  Well, she doesn't know the LDS, but obviously, uh, yeah, I, I mean, I completely agree. I think you gotta be like, nah. Like, no, just fucking.

• 1:01:39Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah. First of all, if I have to be there, and by the way, you have to apologize for how you treated me when I left the church.

• 1:01:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:48Stavros Halkias?

  And if, and if those are non-starters, then you don't get a fucking relationship with my kid. That's insane. You're not gonna disrespect me.

• 1:01:54Speaker 03

  I also think you probably don't want to have that kind of weird influence on your young child of like, anything like this being even entering the, the headspace of a little kid.

• 1:02:06Stavros Halkias?

  Totally.

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  You don't want to be like, like, I mean, look, trust me, my brother was raised to believe that my mother was his sister, you know, it's, these are delicate years. You don't get them back. But, but no, I, I think you, you probably don't want to be putting your son in that position anyway. And I do think you might want to say to your wife, like, you know, this is a decision that I'm gonna make because this is my mother and it's pretty fucked up.

• 1:02:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, of course, of course.

• 1:02:33Speaker 03

  And then titty fucker.

• 1:02:33Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:38Speaker 03

  Feel good.

• 1:02:43Speaker 08

  Hey, stop, hey, eldest, uh, what's up, guest?

• 1:02:48Speaker 08

  So I have a little bit of an issue with this new girl that I'm seeing. Um, it feels weird even saying that it's an issue.

• 1:02:57Speaker 08

  So when we first started talking, so I've been single for like a year and I'm, you know, I just kind of started getting back out there, like dating, dating around on the apps and whatever. Um, and so I met this girl and she used to be a dancer, but now, you know, she's like a single mom now and, uh, she's really cool. She's really, um. Smart and funny, uh, but she told me pretty early on, um, that in a lot of her last relationships, like, uh, the guys, the guys that she would date would say that she, she likes sex too much, or she wants too much sex. Um, and my initial thought was like, what, what kind of, what, what fucking guy would, would say that a girl wants sex too much? That sounds like a fucking dream. Um, and then we started having sex,

• 1:03:38Speaker 08

  and at first I could keep up. It was like five, five to six times a night, and I mean, I wasn't busting every time, you know, but, um.

• 1:03:45Speaker 03

  Oh, well, that doesn't count.

• 1:03:47Speaker 08

  Yeah, but that, that hasn't slowed down, and it's been like four weeks now, um, to the point where I'm like, I'm chafing, like, my shit hurts.

• 1:03:56Speaker 03

  Sick.

• 1:03:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:58Speaker 08

  Uh, she, she consistently makes me late for work, cause I like, I'll get, I like, I'll try to get up an hour before work, and she just won't, keeps trying to suck my dick and fuck me, and I'll be like, alright, and I'll get like one sock on, and then she'll start sucking my dick again, which I'm not gonna be like, I'm not gonna be like, no. But then I'll be like fifteen minutes late for work, um, because she was, because she was fucking me, um. Yes, I mean, she, this is like, uh, my first legitimate encounter with a nymphomaniac, I think, um. And she told me before that even in a long relationship, that like, that doesn't really slow down for her. She just has like a constant,

• 1:04:37Speaker 08

  constant need for sex, like, that's how she, that's how she expresses like affection, or like love, or whatever.

• 1:04:44Stavros Halkias?

  There's other ways to do that.

• 1:04:45Speaker 08

  And it's cool, man. I, I, I like sex, dude. Sex is dope, but that's, it's a lot.

• 1:04:49Stavros Halkias?

  It's too much. We like to fuck around here too, bud.

• 1:04:51Speaker 08

  Yeah, I'd, I'd appreciate any advice you guys have. Thank you so much. Peace.

• 1:04:56Speaker 03

  Well, you can't, I mean, look, you can fill the hole between her legs, but not the one inside of her heart.

• 1:05:00Stavros Halkias?

  Ah, yeah. No amount of jizz is feeling that, filling that hole.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, imagine it, like, you know the chafe, like, you can't fuck through the chafe then. What are you doing?

• 1:05:09Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, this is insane.

• 1:05:10Speaker 03

  I bet the fact that she's a dancer probably makes you want to keep up with her so that you feel like, at work, there's no libido left or something like.

• 1:05:21Stavros Halkias?

  She used to be. I don't think.

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  Oh, she's not anymore.

• 1:05:23Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you gotta say, you gotta say something.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  Or get sponsored by Gatorade.

• 1:05:29Stavros Halkias?

  Damn, she used to be, I bet you a couple of guys got pretty, were pretty stoked when she was working, when they caught her on a shift, you know what I mean? I think there's probably some pretty cool stuff.

• 1:05:39Speaker 03

  Only $10 for that?

• 1:05:42Stavros Halkias?

  Um, yeah dude, I mean, this is a problem. It is funny, he's like, I feel dumb even saying this problem. It's a fucking problem, it's crazy. She has a pro, she has an issue. She has a psychological issue. And yes, you, you, you hit it kind of on the head where it's like, that's how she expresses affection or like love, whatever. It's like, that's not normal. Sex is definitely a part of it, uh, of showing affection, of showing love, but it's like, she needs to work on the other ones. You know what another thing that's like, that you show you affection to your partner is like not fucking their life up with your needs. Even if your needs happen to be sucking them off.

• 1:06:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:18Stavros Halkias?

  It's crazy to say that, but it's like, if, if you're with anyone and whatever, what they want supersedes what makes your life better? Even when it's something cool like fucking, that's bad. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. What do you say, four to five times a night? Even a day is, that's a night. That's insanity. That, I mean, look, that's one cool, awesome, that's like, you have like one awesome day a year where you don't do anything else but fuck.

• 1:06:43Speaker 03

  Black Friday.

• 1:06:43Stavros Halkias?

  You know, yeah, on Black Friday, back when we were a country, you'd fuck your wife four times. You'd have, we'd be full of turkey. Pumpkin pie. Yeah, just. Slow, ineffectual fucks. Yeah. Four times in between watching Saving Private Ryan on TMZ, TMC, or Turner, TCM, Turner Classic Movies with commercials. With the ads, that's important. In the ads when you would fuck. Yeah. You're watching a classic like that, yeah.

• 1:07:10Stavros Halkias?

  Let's have a look at this. Let's see what's going on over here. That's when you do it, but yeah, you have to have a conversation, and like, look, it basically amounts to. Who is this person to you really like? Is this a cool? You're dating her for a little bit, you get so you fuck her a bunch and then you're like, alright, this is obviously gonna work? Or is this someone that you have? You want a future with? Cause if it is, you have to be like, hey, this is a problem that you have to solve.

• 1:07:35Speaker 03

  Also, a great, I mean, it's gonna be a very good barometer for like, how do you guys work through an issue? Because this is, like, you can't, look, it, look, I mean, the reason why he's fucking leaving the messages, because it's not sustainable, so. You know, I mean, you gotta just be like, look, it's, it's not possible. I think with someone, I bet you, when she starts this off by being like, other dudes couldn't keep up, you probably are like, well, fucking, I can fuck through that.

• 1:08:00Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:00Speaker 03

  Until you're, you know, your penis looks like a newborn gerbil.

• 1:08:03Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:08:05Speaker 03

  But, but it is, it's a great, it's a great test to see if you do wanna be in this, because if she's like, that's your problem, then, you know, that's not fucking good communication.

• 1:08:13Stavros Halkias?

  Even her, like, framing it, it's like, yeah, guys in the past have told me it's too, her, her not having any self-awareness that, maybe you're literally the problem. If every one of your relationships ended because you fucked too much.

• 1:08:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:08:26Stavros Halkias?

  Do you know how much fucking that has to be? If you're, if, like, that's insane, so, she hasn't really, she has to, it actually, like, that, what I'm saying is, that makes me a little skeptical of her, like, being able to really face it. Like, she's basically,

• 1:08:41Speaker 03

  There's a denial.

• 1:08:41Stavros Halkias?

  Framed it as it's been a prob, the other people haven't been able to keep up, and that's not what's going on here.

• 1:08:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 1:08:47Stavros Halkias?

  You have a fucked up, you know, she's addicted to something, it happens to be having sex, but, this is the same as any other addiction, really.

• 1:08:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:08:56Stavros Halkias?

  She's got, I mean, it's good that it's with you, I guess, but it's like, still.

• 1:08:59Speaker 04

  This is also like, too much by honeymoon period standards, like, they've only been dating four weeks. Like, the first month you're dating someone, like, yeah, you're probably gonna fuck way more on average.

• 1:09:10Stavros Halkias?

  Of course.

• 1:09:11Speaker 04

  The longer you are together, so if you, if she wants to fuck so much that, like, you can't keep up a month.

• 1:09:16Stavros Halkias?

  Right now?

• 1:09:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:09:18Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah. Dude, come on.

• 1:09:19Speaker 04

  It's untenable.

• 1:09:20Stavros Halkias?

  No. Fully untenable. Uh, but. No, you gotta bring it up. You gotta either solve this. The idea, I mean, you have, you actually physically have no other alternative. Yeah. This cannot, this will not sustain. I mean, you know what I mean? This is.

• 1:09:33Speaker 04

  He's like, I got fired. She goes for his belt buckle.

• 1:09:35Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah. Oh, really? You know, you need, you need a sock for your cock. And that's the first one you put on. You, oh, what you need is this chastity belt. Yes. You like, no, no. No. No. We shut it down for the day. You're gonna ask me about my day first. We're gonna have. We're gonna have. Yeah. Sitting there in a chastity belt. So what else? How was your day? Do all your chores and then you get dick. She's like.

• 1:10:01Stavros Halkias?

  The key's under the bench. There you go. Careful.

• 1:10:08Stavros Halkias?

  Oh damn, hilarious.

• 1:10:11Speaker 09

  Hey, so, um, so I got a girlfriend, love her to death, adore her, she's loved her my life, but she hates one of my friends. Um, good friend of mine, known her for almost a decade at this point, he's been there for me. Uh, but she hates him, just, she hates him for a variety of reasons. He's a big MAGA dude, you know, when we lived together, he was a slob.

• 1:10:32Stavros Halkias?

  Mmm.

• 1:10:33Speaker 09

  Uh, XYZ, he's a prison guard, gets up, eats women a lot. She has a bad taste in my lady's mouth.

• 1:10:40Speaker 04

  He said jokes about beating women a lot.

• 1:10:42Stavros Halkias?

  I mean. Oh. So far. So far, you know, he's a good guy. Pretty fucking right, dude. Anyway, let's keep going.

• 1:10:51Speaker 09

  He's a big MAGA dude, you know, when we lived together, he was a slob. Uh, XYZ, he's a prison guard, he gets up, eating women a lot. He has a bad taste in my lady's mouth. Pause. Um, but the real inciting incident is a chicken dip incident. She made a beautiful, handmade, you know, homemade, several hour long buffalo chicken dip. Phenomenal for a poker night that we had. And, you know, we're gonna use the leftovers to make our buffalo chicken dip. This guy, you know, he comes to the poker night, he hangs out, doesn't really talk to anybody, chills. And later that evening, at 3:00 AM, when he's getting ready to go to work, he just devours all of the chicken dip that's left over.

• 1:11:37Speaker 09

  And, uh.

• 1:11:39Speaker 09

  Makes a huge mess in the kitchen and then vomitosis.

• 1:11:42Stavros Halkias?

  Vomits?

• 1:11:43Speaker 09

  No apology made after me.

• 1:11:44Stavros Halkias?

  Vomitosis.

• 1:11:45Speaker 09

  But it's funny, it's a funny story, but I want to figure out.

• 1:11:49Stavros Halkias?

  It's not funny. It's not funny at all, dude. That's funny when you're like twelve.

• 1:11:55Speaker 09

  And they're all clear that when you make something for poker night, you can't expect leftovers, even even if they're in a poker night, you know, things happen, things change.

• 1:12:04Speaker 03

  I like this.

• 1:12:06Speaker 09

  Help me fix my broken homes, Dobby.

• 1:12:09Stavros Halkias?

  I got a bad news, buddy.

• 1:12:13Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, there's.

• 1:12:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, this dude is.

• 1:12:15Stavros Halkias?

  Now, look, I, okay, I kind of see what they're saying. Like, you make something for a party, you can't necessarily expect leftovers, but also, if that's the case, the guest who takes it, you help by cleaning up a little bit or doing something like, if I'm, if you're holding me to host duties, uh, you know, you have to hold your guests to a little, you know, a little, uh, a little, you eat the whole fucking thing and then you just fucking make a huge mess. That's, you're being an inconsiderate guest at least, at, at minimum.

• 1:12:47Speaker 03

  It's also cumulative. It's like all the other shit. Like, if this was just a one-off and this guy just ate a bunch of fucking buffalo chicken dip and took off, you know, all right, you can, but the rest of the stuff in totality is.

• 1:13:00Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, this is.

• 1:13:01Speaker 03

  Many red flags.

• 1:13:02Stavros Halkias?

  This is getting Al Capone for tax fraud.

• 1:13:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, right.

• 1:13:05Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? Those were not his real, those were not his real crimes. That's not what we actually want in behind bars for, but this might hold up in court.

• 1:13:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:15Stavros Halkias?

  You know, like, I might have an actual, like, yeah, look, I don't know this guy. And certainly I have friends that I don't agree with politically, but all I've heard is negative.

• 1:13:27Speaker 03

  What's the worst thing on that list, in your opinion, of those things that she?

• 1:13:34Stavros Halkias?

  I think if your, if your friend jokes about beating women.

• 1:13:38Speaker 03

  That's what I think.

• 1:13:39Stavros Halkias?

  That's insane. That's his go-to joke. Well, and I mean.

• 1:13:43Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:13:43Stavros Halkias?

  Cause he does. A guy who's a, a guy who is a prison guard, who's an, who doesn't care about other people, who's a slob, who's shown himself to be like inconsiderate. I think he probably is actually hitting women.

• 1:13:55Speaker 03

  I do too, and I also think, why the fuck is he doing that material in front of her? Like, at least, read the room. Yeah, I'm not saying it's like great to be around it as a guy.

• 1:14:05Stavros Halkias?

  No, but it's also like-

• 1:14:07Speaker 03

  Girlfriend to be like, he doesn't beat them.

• 1:14:08Stavros Halkias?

  You add an extra layer of that being an annoying joke.

• 1:14:12Speaker 03

  It is also that position that he's in is so fucking stressful because that, that, honestly, what I would do is I would talk to your friend and I would be like, look, I want you to be friends with my girlfriend, you are-

• 1:14:24Stavros Halkias?

  This guy sucks, he's gonna be like, you're a fucking pussy.

• 1:14:26Speaker 03

  Well, then it's over, you know, then you just go, whatever, I mean-

• 1:14:29Stavros Halkias?

  But that's, that is the truth, though, yeah.

• 1:14:31Speaker 03

  I would side, you side with her, I mean, she's right.

• 1:14:34Stavros Halkias?

  Well, that's the thing, though, this is a fork in the road moment, unfortunately, because, look, it's one thing to have, like, if your partner doesn't love one of your friends, that's-

• 1:14:44Speaker 03

  Tough.

• 1:14:45Stavros Halkias?

  Sometimes that can be understandable and sometimes there is an agree to disagree type thing here. But if like, well, like, like, ah, you, you got, what kind of guy, like, it's, even you being like, it's funny, it's like, the thing is, look, did he do anything technically wrong, but clearly this is not a person who is, who cares about others. He clearly is a self-centered per, like, it's kind of crazy to just eat a bunch of shit, like, at the last minute of a party, to just like, I don't know, clean it out, like, a whole, it's also a dip? It's like, that's a, you eating one sitting? That's fucking weird.

• 1:15:26Speaker 03

  It's a weird 3AM move.

• 1:15:27Stavros Halkias?

  It's weird, and it's like-

• 1:15:28Speaker 03

  By the way, that next day at work for him was pretty tough, as a prison guard. He's got buffalo chicken shits.

• 1:15:33Stavros Halkias?

  I know. Also, he's a fucking prison guard.

• 1:15:35Speaker 03

  That's what I mean, like, there, that's not, that's not the best environment.

• 1:15:38Stavros Halkias?

  I can deal with one of all of these things, like, MAGA guy, whatever, I have friends who are MAGA guys, like, uh, make, a guy who makes jokes, fucked up jokes in a vacuum that you know he doesn't mean them.

• 1:15:49Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:15:49Stavros Halkias?

  I can, you know, obviously, half my friends are like that. Someone's a slob, I'm a fucking slob, you know what I mean? Prison guard, that one's maybe the toughest one in a vacuum, but it's like, even that, it's like, I have friends who are cops, whatever, you know what I mean? Like, if the rest of them makes up for one thing that I don't typically look for in a friend.

• 1:16:08Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:16:08Stavros Halkias?

  That's fine, right? But this guy has all this stuff- That he like, to me, is he like doing it to piss your girlfriend off? Is he like, is he fucking with her? Is he being a dickhead? If he is, then that's a problem. And you have to think about, maybe the, is this the kind of, do you care about? How serious is this relationship? And also, even if it's not her, do you want to end up? Even when you end up with someone, is this guy gonna be fucking weird to you, to who you end up with?

• 1:16:40Speaker 03

  Think about this guy at your wedding.

• 1:16:42Stavros Halkias?

  Exactly.

• 1:16:42Speaker 03

  I mean, that is like, this is going to be the worst fucking guy at your wedding. I, what I would maybe start with is separating the friendship from, like, have the friendship with him on the side. Don't bring him into your relationship with her. And then see if that, you parlay that into a conversation. But he's in the wrong for most of this shit, so.

• 1:17:03Speaker 04

  I feel like with a lot of this shit, it's like, when we get calls like this, it's like, oh, I'm kind of growing apart with one friend. Or, I went out with my friend, he tried to fight a bouncer and then threw up in the Uber back and blah, blah, blah. It's like, you know, all, all the, all this shit he's saying about his personality, it's like, yeah, you can be friends with a guy like that. But a lot of the times, like, especially as you get deeper into your twenties, it kind of comes down to, how unpredictable is this person? If I invite them to something, can I guarantee that he won't get like fucking tanked? Where we're just like having a chill night and like, fuck up my fridge and make the kitchen counter crazy and.

• 1:17:44Stavros Halkias?

  And just be rude, right? Here's the thing, did he do anything technically wrong with any of this? No, but is he being rude? Is he being a dickhead? What is he adding to your life, right? Really, you should have this thought to yourself. What is this person adding to my life? What do I add to his? What's the like, and not that everything should be transactional, but at some point you have to think like. Because I've been in a relationship, when you're younger, you have friendships where it's like, someone is essentially a leech on you, or they treat you bad. Or they treat you like shit and you're like, well, this is my boy, whatever. And they're like, why am I putting up with this? You know what I mean? Like, I, what, why do I actually need this? Do I actually like being around them? Or is it just inertia? Now, you could be like, this is my boy, he's a fucking piece of shit. I want to be my boy forever.

• 1:18:28Stavros Halkias?

  Maybe I just can't have him around my wife or girlfriend. That's possible, there's guys like that, sure. But I think this is a good opportunity for you to really think. Now, in terms of the buffalo chicken, if we want to get granular here and talk about the buffalo chicken dip incident.

• 1:18:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:18:45Stavros Halkias?

  I, I think it's not a letter of the law thing, it's like, it's like, come on, man, that was just, you were just kind of being a dickhead. It's like, what, by the way, what did he bring? Okay, you're hosting poker night, I get that. But what did he bring? Did he bring anything?

• 1:19:00Speaker 03

  Some great jokes about abuse.

• 1:19:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did he bring anything? Did he help clean up? Did he do whatever? It's like, then he's just being a dickhead.

• 1:19:08Speaker 03

  Sometimes like, I, I think that with my girlfriend sometimes, it's like, I'm a bar rescue episode, where she'll come in and there's just stuff that I've been like, fine with forever, and she's like, why is it like this? And I'm like, I don't know, we just got bugs in the vodka, it's fine, we just still pour it. She's like, no, and you kind of do, it is a helpful reassessment. So I think you should, you should take it at face value for what it's worth, and just kind of reassess it, because honestly, that list is pretty fucking bad.

• 1:19:32Stavros Halkias?

  It's a bad list. It's a bad, like, if you're telling me, for me in my life, those four things and one guy.

• 1:19:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:19:39Stavros Halkias?

  I'm probably not hanging out with that guy.

• 1:19:41Speaker 03

  Nah.

• 1:19:41Stavros Halkias?

  Me personally.

• 1:19:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:19:42Stavros Halkias?

  Um, like, prison guard plus one. I mean, take slob away.

• 1:19:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:19:47Stavros Halkias?

  Like, but prison guard and, and like, MAGA prison guard?

• 1:19:51Speaker 03

  MAGA prison guard, beating jokes.

• 1:19:54Stavros Halkias?

  MAGA wife beating jokes, is he actually hitting his wife? Ma, you know what I mean, like?

• 1:19:59Speaker 10

  Slob listen, hey, we're all slobs.

• 1:20:00Speaker 03

  The chicken dip is maybe the least offensive one in a way.

• 1:20:04Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean, look, he was just kind of being boorish.

• 1:20:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:20:07Stavros Halkias?

  And that's the best you can hope for, for a guy like him.

• 1:20:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, right, yeah, right.

• 1:20:11Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, it's kind of shitty, but yes, I actually, you don't, you don't say like, hey, I was planning on eating the thing I put out for my guests. This is, this is one of those things where it's like, she just hates him.

• 1:20:22Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:20:22Stavros Halkias?

  And so, this just, this pissed her off, because it was kind of rude, but if like, one of your, her friends did this, but it's also like, you know, she just hates him and that's the, that's really not a big, whatever.

• 1:20:33Speaker 03

  Well, that could be your other move.

• 1:20:34Stavros Halkias?

  He's being a dickhead, but it's, it's not horrible.

• 1:20:37Speaker 03

  Your other move could just be start hating one of her friends a lot.

• 1:20:40Stavros Halkias?

  Show her, yeah.

• 1:20:40Speaker 03

  Eye for an eye. Go at one of her friends.

• 1:20:43Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:20:44Stavros Halkias?

  One of her libtard friends.

• 1:20:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, go after the libtard.

• 1:20:47Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, I bet you want to turn my fucking nephew trans, bitch.

• 1:20:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, they're using litter boxes in schools.

• 1:20:55Stavros Halkias?

  My friend is going to deport your fucking, your friend, he's signing up for, he's doing some double, I mean, this is the kind of guy who would be pumped to join us.

• 1:21:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, Dean Cain energy.

• 1:21:05Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, fucked, I mean, whatever, it's hard for me not to say fuck this guy, but I, you know, I will stop short of saying that, do I think I would like this person? Absolutely not, but, whatever, this is a chance for you to take stock, and I agree, that, that's so funny, bar, a girlfriend being like bar, being John Taffer.

• 1:21:21Speaker 03

  Totally.

• 1:21:22Stavros Halkias?

  It's like, it's like, what is going on here?

• 1:21:24Speaker 10

  Why are you hanging out with a prison guard who makes all these rap, these are abuse jokes? He's eating chicken dip, you're going to get some of them killed. What are you doing?

• 1:21:34Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, fuck, dude. Yeah, so look, take stock, really think about this, and yeah, I think your options are, either, if this guy, if you want this guy in your life, then he's got to be, you got to keep him away from your girl, and he just is, you know, that's, and that happens, or really think like, what, what does this person add? And like, what kind of life do I want? What kind of people do I want around me? And it's not about his beliefs, it's how he treats other people. If he has all these beliefs and is nice to your, to the people in your life, who cares?

• 1:22:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, totally.

• 1:22:04Stavros Halkias?

  But if he's, if he, if he just, if he's rude to somebody who should be one of the most Important people in your life, especially if it's a serious relationship. I don't want guy, I don't want people like that in my life, people who, whether it's my girlfriend or like a family member or a best friend. You don't get to disrespect the people I care about and then stay one of my friends, so. Think of him at your wedding. Without unchecked, think of him at your wedding. Yeah. This is a wedding ruiner for her. Oh, he's not coming to the, there's no way and. And then you get, so then confront it now. Get it out of the way now. That's a good point, that's a good point, yeah, yeah. Cause I do think at a wedding, people are allowed vetoes. Yeah. You know what I mean? This guy's a big veto. Yeah, once you get married, you're like, alright, you're my family. You get the ultimate veto, but anyway. He'll take it well.

• 1:22:49Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah. He'll take a veto real well, yeah. For sure, for sure.

• 1:23:50Speaker 11

  Hey, Stabby, eldest and esteemed guests. Um, I'm just gonna get right into it. Um, my fiance and I are getting married in February. We're doing a Mexico Cancun destination wedding and then we're just gonna extend out or stay there for our honeymoon.

• 1:24:10Stavros Halkias?

  Nice.

• 1:24:10Speaker 11

  I want to stay somewhere super bougie, super luxury, cause I'm like, this is our honeymoon.

• 1:24:18Stavros Halkias?

  I get that.

• 1:24:18Speaker 11

  You know, the only one we're gonna have, um.

• 1:24:23Speaker 11

  And we've never like balled out before. I think it's worth it. Also, we're both will be thirty five and have to get on like having kids right away. So it's gonna be like our last big trip. Um, the issue is, is my fiance thinks it's too much money to which I said, well, I will pay for most of it. I make, you know, significantly more money than him and I'm also gonna be getting my bonus right around that time, which is a nice chunk of change too. So it's not, it's not like we're gonna be using up all the money we have to pay for this trip. It's just like, you know, a little bit, well, a lot nicer than a trip we would normally take.

• 1:25:05Speaker 11

  How do I get him on board? He's still him and Han. I just wanna fucking do it, but I also don't think that's the best thing, way to start, uh, our marriage is just to me, steamrolling him and being like, no, this is what we're doing.

• 1:25:20Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:20Speaker 11

  Um, so thanks for the, the advice. And yep, that's all. Okay. Bye.

• 1:25:27Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's a hard one. Cause I, I get both sides a little bit, you know, where it's like, and you're right. You don't wanna start be like, well, I make the fucking money, you broke fucking idiot.

• 1:25:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:37Stavros Halkias?

  Here's some fucking champagne.

• 1:25:39Speaker 03

  Eat some dragon fruit.

• 1:25:39Stavros Halkias?

  I paid for it.

• 1:25:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:41Stavros Halkias?

  You don't have to worry, broke boy. I'll pay for it. You know what I mean? I don't think that's gonna be the most, like, most, uh, relaxing honeymoon.

• 1:25:49Speaker 03

  Hurry up, enjoy it. We gotta have kids.

• 1:25:51Stavros Halkias?

  How about this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not in me and enjoy this ceviche.

• 1:25:55Speaker 03

  Here we go.

• 1:25:58Speaker 03

  It's funny to be like, I wanna blow a lot of money. We gotta have kids soon.

• 1:26:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do, I, I mean, I kinda get where she's coming from. Cause it's like, you know, uh, like you want it to be a big deal. You want it to be nice. You want it to, you want it, if there's, if there's moments in your life to kinda, I, I understand splurging on the honeymoon so much more than I understand splurging on a wedding.

• 1:26:22Speaker 03

  Completely agree.

• 1:26:23Stavros Halkias?

  Like the honeymoon is like, if you're gonna-

• 1:26:24Speaker 03

  Wedding is the craziest way to start your-

• 1:26:27Stavros Halkias?

  Like, that's cra- that's-

• 1:26:28Speaker 03

  With debt.

• 1:26:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's insane. But like, going on a night, like, taking a re- Really luxurious trip, you might never in your life, you might never, you know, you, you know, have the kind of disposable income and time to be able to take this level of trip. I agree with you. I think though, and you know, I would have, now I have money, but even when I wasn't, I definitely would like, there were important things I would just verge on, because that's what life is about.

• 1:26:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:52Stavros Halkias?

  It's enjoying these fucking moments. You don't want to have a fifty percent shittier time at one of the most important moments of your life, so that you like, what? Can afford a little bit faster internet, like what, you know, whatever utility, you're paying utilities with this money. You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, we could have a life-changing trip, but hey, we paid for fourteen months of FiOS instead. It's like, I don't know.

• 1:27:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I also wonder if you can maybe, like loop, but could, could you not just put on your registry that this is part of what you want?

• 1:27:21Stavros Halkias?

  And then it feels like- They're already going, um, destination wedding, though.

• 1:27:26Speaker 03

  Like, you, do you not have a registry for those?

• 1:27:27Stavros Halkias?

  I just think like, sometimes-

• 1:27:29Speaker 03

  I mean, I, believe me, I wouldn't go, it's a pain in the ass.

• 1:27:31Stavros Halkias?

  That's what I'm saying, is like, when, when people, when you do destination, it's almost like, you're like, hey, just get there.

• 1:27:36Speaker 03

  Alright, so I, I've got an evil pitch on what she could do.

• 1:27:39Stavros Halkias?

  Hit me with it.

• 1:27:40Speaker 03

  She could pretend that someone gave her the money, and then she just uses her money and doesn't tell him.

• 1:27:46Stavros Halkias?

  Ooh.

• 1:27:46Speaker 03

  Start with a lie.

• 1:27:47Stavros Halkias?

  Uncle Adley. You remember my old Uncle Adley?

• 1:27:51Speaker 03

  I don't think I've heard of him before. Uncle Adley? The millionaire?

• 1:27:57Speaker 03

  I spent a night in his house to get his inheritance after he passed?

• 1:28:01Stavros Halkias?

  Wow, my part of Uncle Adley's inheritance just came in.

• 1:28:04Speaker 03

  He's sending us-

• 1:28:05Stavros Halkias?

  Wouldn't you know it, it's exactly what the resort costs.

• 1:28:08Speaker 03

  There's a waterfall in the room! Uncle Adley.

• 1:28:13Speaker 03

  Lay the foundation now about Uncle Adley, too.

• 1:28:15Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, start breadcrumbing Uncle Adley.

• 1:28:17Speaker 03

  I don't know if Uncle Adley's gonna be able to make it.

• 1:28:19Stavros Halkias?

  He's not feeling well.

• 1:28:20Speaker 03

  He's on dialysis.

• 1:28:21Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, no. He's my favorite, start photoshopping yourself. Yeah, start photoshopping yourself as a child with Uncle Adley. It could be the Julia Louis-Dreyfus of relatives, he's Adley. Yeah, he starts, start crying like, Uncle Adley died, and then three days later be like, you're never gonna believe it. He left us $25,000. But, okay, if there's, you're right, you don't want to steamroll, but is this very important to you? And to him, this is important because he's probably like, you know, he's just money conscious, whatever. So, the, the, I think the compromise here is like, you gotta pinch pennies somewhere else.

• 1:29:01Stavros Halkias?

  To make your fiance, husband feel better about this, clearly it's purely about, it's not like he doesn't want to have an awesome time with you. Yeah, maybe that's. He's just nervous about money.

• 1:29:11Speaker 03

  That, that might be a good way into it is to sort of present it in a way where you're offering like, a swap of savings in some capacity that makes him feel like you're not just dipping into savings, but you're kind of countering it with some actual cuts. It's a hard one too, because it's like, I mean, it is, it's like the fir-, the, the time you want to celebrate, you're getting pushed back, you don't want to be fucking arguing over how good of a time you want to have.

• 1:29:37Stavros Halkias?

  This is really fucking hard.

• 1:29:39Speaker 04

  I think, I think she should just, she should think of it as like steamrolling, but like, just like persuasive. Cause even what you guys are saying, it's like, that is an optics thing, she's like, yeah, we'll get this, but we'll, you know, only spend 300 on groceries this month or something, or, you know, she, you know, just like moving theoretical money around. It's like, I think you can steamroll him a little, put on that little.

• 1:30:05Stavros Halkias?

  We're coming back to Uncle Adley again, which really. But what if, what if? Age as well. Yeah, I, I, I know what you're saying.

• 1:30:11Speaker 04

  What I mean, what I mean by steamroll is just be like, this is really important to me, I really want to pay for this. I think we could have an awesome honeymoon, we'll figure out the money later, or whatever you want to say. But I think all it takes is like, just sitting him down and saying that, and you know.

• 1:30:27Stavros Halkias?

  Saying it's really important to me, but what if he's like, it's really important to me to not start off our marriage financially in a hole? What if there's, what if they're in a fucking, what if they're in a stalemate, you know what I mean?

• 1:30:38Speaker 03

  Like, could, could you maybe just like do half and half and like, you know, lower it for half of it? And the second half is a little more luxurious, and so you're not spending the whole. You know, you're not spending all of it. You're spending half of what you were telling me, you know, but compromise.

• 1:30:54Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean, I do think compromise is sort of some kind of compromise here is like, is the answer. I mean, it's hard because it's just like, you really want this. I mean, I guess, I guess you could try what Eld is saying and be like, hey, this is really important to me. Could we do it? And then if he, if he hits you back, then it's like, well, then can we compromise somewhere like, try Eld's thing. If you're met with resistance, say, well, then let's find something that makes us both happy. Can we cut some costs? Can we stay, you know, like you said, maybe one day at a cheaper part of town and, and you know, like, can we just cut it a little bit? Is there a dollar amount that would make you comfortable if we cut it?

• 1:31:29Speaker 03

  Take him to a dangerous part of town and be like, this is your choice.

• 1:31:32Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:31:33Speaker 03

  And then go to the resort.

• 1:31:34Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real.

• 1:31:36Speaker 03

  But no, I, I think that's true. I think, I mean, I, I think even if you offer up some kind of compromise, that'll probably at least help grease the wheels a little bit. That's tough one though.

• 1:31:46Stavros Halkias?

  And maybe even be like, all right, I guess I'll take some extra shit.

• 1:31:50Speaker 03

  It's, it's also tough because it's like, like I, I wouldn't, I'd be like, fucking great. You pay for it. But there are men who would be like, uh, no, no, we can't afford. It's like, if someone's paying for it, I'd be in. But you can also understand the fragility of being a male being like, she's paying for it. That potentially could be playing into it.

• 1:32:06Stavros Halkias?

  I mean, I, I also think like, yeah, when we don't know if this guy's like this at all, but it's like, if you're feeling financially cucked by your wife to begin with, and then it's like, oh, don't be silly little boy. I can afford it. You know what I mean? Like,

• 1:32:21Speaker 03

  That's my dream. That's my fetish.

• 1:32:22Stavros Halkias?

  I know. It's all, I mean, I don't understand this at all.

• 1:32:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, obviously.

• 1:32:26Stavros Halkias?

  Don't get me wrong. I think this guy's a fucking idiot, but I could see like, I think I could see somebody having that. It's an emotional reaction of feeling emasculated. And here he has control in that you have to make the decision together.

• 1:32:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:32:41Stavros Halkias?

  But like, it's tough because he knows his control is, it's soft power versus like she has the actual, she, if push really comes to shove, she kinda has the power. All he can do is kind of, is complain in a way that is traditionally feminine.

• 1:32:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:32:58Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? Like, Like if a 50s housewife didn't want her husband to buy a car, he'll be like, well, too bad, sweetcakes. I'm buying it. And that's enough out of you. You know what I mean? Like, he's in that position.

• 1:33:09Speaker 03

  You stick to goulash, I'll pick the car.

• 1:33:12Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, he like, maybe that's what it is, but like, you know, hopefully not, hopefully he's not emasculated by it. And hopefully if you just are like, hey, this, you know, try it. And then if anything, make even some, and if it is, if it is ego thing, even a token like, um, compromise could go along.

• 1:33:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't, yeah.

• 1:33:32Stavros Halkias?

  Even shaving off a couple G's off it could go along.

• 1:33:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, I heard you.

• 1:33:36Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:33:37Speaker 03

  We'll do this instead for these two nights.

• 1:33:39Stavros Halkias?

  We'll fly back, coach or what, you know.

• 1:33:41Speaker 03

  You'll fly back, coach, I'll sit first. You'll go coach.

• 1:33:45Stavros Halkias?

  But I, I, I also feel for her because it's like, she can afford it. She really wants it.

• 1:33:51Speaker 03

  It seems like she can, I wonder.

• 1:33:53Stavros Halkias?

  Maybe she's, she's overdoing it.

• 1:33:54Speaker 03

  Maybe, and maybe he's like being rational, but either way, like, that's why you offer the compromise. I mean, it's actually probably a pretty good way to, like, after you get married to have a big point of contention and compromise on it is, you know, what this is all gonna be about.

• 1:34:07Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, actually getting through this is, is the most significant.

• 1:34:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:34:10Stavros Halkias?

  Part of it.

• 1:34:11Speaker 03

  Good, good bar to test, you know?

• 1:34:13Stavros Halkias?

  And if it doesn't work, then hey, maybe you could not just call the whole fucking thing off, you know what I mean? If he's being a fucking asshole.

• 1:34:18Speaker 03

  Find a guy from high school who used to titty fuck.

• 1:34:21Speaker 04

  Fuck him six times one night.

• 1:34:25Speaker 03

  Fuck his dick off and then go from there.

• 1:34:29Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, does you have anything fun for us to go out on here, little buddy?

• 1:34:34Speaker 12

  Hey, Stav, LB, uh, love the podcast. Um, so I have a question for you. Uh, I work in a clean room and I like eat like shit a lot of the time.

• 1:34:48Speaker 03

  Works in a clean room?

• 1:34:49Speaker 12

  How do you?

• 1:34:51Speaker 04

  I'm not sure exactly what that is.

• 1:34:52Speaker 03

  What the fuck is a clean room?

• 1:34:55Speaker 12

  Uh, like need to, what do you do if you need to like shit yourself on stage? Cause I have like really bad stomach issues. I'm a pretty fat guy.

• 1:35:03Speaker 03

  Green room?

• 1:35:03Speaker 12

  Like.

• 1:35:06Stavros Halkias?

  The fuck is a clean room?

• 1:35:08Speaker 03

  Do you think he's talking about?

• 1:35:10Stavros Halkias?

  Eldis has searched. No, no, don't do the AI. What do we say about the AI?

• 1:35:16Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:35:17Stavros Halkias?

  Is an engineered space? Why would this guy work here? A clean room or clean room is an engineered space that maintains?

• 1:35:23Speaker 03

  I thought he was, I thought he was trying to say he's like a stand-up and he works in a room where you can't. No. No, he's actually works in a.

• 1:35:31Stavros Halkias?

  So it's like something that's like. Some lab or something where you can't have a lot of contaminants.

• 1:35:36Speaker 03

  This guy's got a shart?

• 1:35:37Stavros Halkias?

  This guy's where, yeah, this guy's where there's just like.

• 1:35:40Speaker 03

  Problem. I keep sharding in a clean room.

• 1:35:42Stavros Halkias?

  Out of his ass. Twenty-four seven. Keep going, Eldis.

• 1:35:47Speaker 12

  I don't know, man. I just like, I like can't not eat good, I guess. So, I like have to spend a lot of time in a clean room and don't really have the opportunity to use the bathroom a lot for my job. So, I was just wondering if you had any advice on, I mean, I take like Pepto Bismol, but sometimes that shit ain't, that shit even ain't enough.

• 1:36:08Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:36:09Speaker 12

  So, if you have any advice on like, if you're like on the plane or if you're like on stage, how you not shit yourself, um, that'd be much appreciated.

• 1:36:19Speaker 03

  Fuck, can we just talk about this?

• 1:36:21Stavros Halkias?

  This is insane.

• 1:36:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:36:23Stavros Halkias?

  He's worried about shitting himself in the clean room?

• 1:36:25Speaker 03

  It's amazing to not be like, I'll just stop eating like shit because this is part of my job.

• 1:36:32Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, your diet is your diarrhea issue.

• 1:36:35Stavros Halkias?

  Dude, I don't know what to tell you because yes, I am fat as shit. And I did, we did go through this with the bus where I did kind of have to just change my diet because you weren't allowed to shit at night on the bus. And so, yes, I took some Pepto. If you've gotten to the point where you're fucking eating through Pepto? That's a level even I'm not at, dude.

• 1:36:55Speaker 03

  I, thi- this is actually a very good problem for you because this is a, this problem is a lot bigger than trying to hold your sharts in a clean room.

• 1:37:03Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, without the clean room, actually, you might have gone down an even more sinister path.

• 1:37:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, you, you really should be able to take this and recognize that this is, this is a holistic change.

• 1:37:13Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, dude.

• 1:37:14Speaker 03

  I don't know how old you are, but. Treat this like your mid 30s. It's time to reanalyze some of your shit.

• 1:37:19Stavros Halkias?

  At the very minimum, you have to get to the point where Pepto Bismol stops you from shitting. At the very minimum, but ideally, you need to be able to control your bowels enough, man. You're an adult.

• 1:37:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:37:31Stavros Halkias?

  I don't even know what the fuck to tell you. Then, I guess you could do Imodium, because it's stronger than Pepto.

• 1:37:35Speaker 03

  Well, I'll tell you, that Imodium does work.

• 1:37:36Stavros Halkias?

  Imodium does work.

• 1:37:37Speaker 03

  I, I, I also would consider going to a doctor.

• 1:37:41Stavros Halkias?

  Definitely.

• 1:37:42Speaker 03

  We had that on We're Here to Help, where it was like, we were like advising this guy who went into a sauna, and he kept like finding brown stains on his towel when he would get up. And we were like pitching for ages, and then like everyone in the comments was like, "That man should go to a doctor." And we were like, "That's a good one, too."

• 1:37:56Stavros Halkias?

  So shit would leak out of this guy's ass in the sauna?

• 1:37:58Speaker 03

  Well, then it turned into a whole fucking thing where, yes. And then what ended up happening was, so then we told this guy to get a Brazilian and see if it kept happening, and then I got one in solidarity. So I got my asshole waxed. And my front waxed.

• 1:38:13Stavros Halkias?

  Wow, full clean.

• 1:38:14Speaker 03

  Thank, full clean. And it was absolutely the fucking worst one. I mean, I did, I was sweating. It was the craziest thing.

• 1:38:22Stavros Halkias?

  So you got your hole waxed and then went into a sauna? Just check?

• 1:38:25Speaker 03

  No, I didn't even do the sauna. I just, as a brotherhood move, got it all waxed.

• 1:38:30Stavros Halkias?

  Jake wasn't trying to get waxed?

• 1:38:31Speaker 03

  No, Jake's like, I was on a Fox show for eight seasons, like, no. And but I was like, "I'll do it." And it did cure his problem. And it did make me be like, I'm like, kinda like having my asshole waxed.

• 1:38:44Stavros Halkias?

  I've heard the asshole is the best part of the wax.

• 1:38:46Speaker 03

  And the, without question, the way easier wax.

• 1:38:49Stavros Halkias?

  And then people say it's like relaxing.

• 1:38:51Speaker 03

  Well, I, it was hard for me to know because I had the front done first, and that was hell on earth. Do they wax your nuts when you do the front? Yeah, but that's not even the worst part. The pubis is the hell.

• 1:39:00Stavros Halkias?

  The top.

• 1:39:01Speaker 03

  The pubis.

• 1:39:02Stavros Halkias?

  The mound.

• 1:39:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, and then it's the, she's going, and it's like you're sitting, it's like you're in a baby position with a woman stranger. It's awful overall.

• 1:39:10Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:39:11Speaker 03

  It's like, I would rather some, I would rather my therapist talk about what I talk about versus like, this woman be able to reveal my stories.

• 1:39:17Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:39:18Speaker 03

  But, um, but I think like maybe you wanna go... You know, you might have, like, if you can't keep your shit in, it's either your diet or there's something bigger.

• 1:39:28Stavros Halkias?

  I'm not this fucking fat, by the way. Let me just also put it that way. I'm not the kind of fat that is worried his ass will, you know, ruin a clean room or whatever.

• 1:39:38Speaker 03

  Clean room?

• 1:39:39Stavros Halkias?

  He's like manufacturing Covid cells. He's like, I don't have enough time to get this hazmat off.

• 1:39:44Speaker 03

  Well, it is like, having to get a hazmat off this shit is really an ordeal.

• 1:39:49Stavros Halkias?

  This is good, though, for you. I think we're in agreement. You needed this.

• 1:39:52Speaker 03

  It's a wake-up call.

• 1:39:53Stavros Halkias?

  You needed this outside structure on your hole.

• 1:39:56Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:39:57Stavros Halkias?

  Because left to its own devices, it would be, you would just be leaking 24/7. So you just need to fix yourself, brother. I'm sorry. This is tough love here.

• 1:40:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, if it wasn't a clean room, I would say maybe diaper it, but this is, you.

• 1:40:10Stavros Halkias?

  You can't be dipping it. You're too young for diapers, man. We gotta get him out of diapers. Too young for diapers. You gotta get out, man. You gotta get a better fucking diet. You gotta regulate your shitting. I don't know what to tell you.

• 1:40:25Speaker 03

  More so, I'll bet there's a lot of booze mixed in here. You know, I would definitely, start with the diet.

• 1:40:33Stavros Halkias?

  Little more fiber, get a little more regular, you know what I mean?

• 1:40:36Speaker 03

  Eat a breakfast.

• 1:40:38Stavros Halkias?

  Because, you know, a little Metamucil will get you right.

• 1:40:42Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:40:42Stavros Halkias?

  Now, listen, I have never had to shit more than when the Metamucil shit comes calling, it's coming out.

• 1:40:48Speaker 03

  I've heard they're exceptional.

• 1:40:49Stavros Halkias?

  There's no stopping it.

• 1:40:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:40:51Stavros Halkias?

  But it comes in a nice log, and it gets you, it clears you out. It's good stuff, so.

• 1:40:57Speaker 03

  So that, that's actually a good thing, too. It sounds like any of, this is diarrhea. I mean, this is definitely diarrhea.

• 1:41:04Stavros Halkias?

  Has to be.

• 1:41:04Speaker 03

  You do want to solid it up. Metamucil is probably a good call.

• 1:41:08Stavros Halkias?

  Start with Metamucil.

• 1:41:08Speaker 03

  Get yourself on a schedule.

• 1:41:10Stavros Halkias?

  You need to get on a shit schedule. That's really what it's about.

• 1:41:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:41:13Stavros Halkias?

  You need to learn how certain foods affect your body. Eat more fiber, eat some beans.

• 1:41:18Speaker 03

  Or quit your job and just enjoy your life.

• 1:41:20Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah. What is your job? What could you, what does a guy, because a clean room, I think, is like a lab. Yeah, I'm thinking of a lab. It's like, it's something where like.

• 1:41:29Speaker 03

  So, so great.

• 1:41:30Stavros Halkias?

  Something so dialed in that a. Particle of dust will ruin it.

• 1:41:33Speaker 03

  Sterile. It's like where Tom Cruise lands in the first Mission Impossible and can't touch the ground.

• 1:41:38Stavros Halkias?

  Exactly, important equipment.

• 1:41:40Speaker 03

  And this guy's in there with his butt cheeks clenched so hard.

• 1:41:42Stavros Halkias?

  With like ten million dollar equipment that they can't get a speck of dirt on.

• 1:41:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, and this guy's just like, "I'm gonna fucking die."

• 1:41:48Stavros Halkias?

  Like, what are you doing in that clean room?

• 1:41:50Speaker 03

  Can we also talk about how great his shit is after work? That must just be the greatest moment.

• 1:41:54Stavros Halkias?

  That's real awesome.

• 1:41:55Speaker 03

  It's better than sex.

• 1:41:56Stavros Halkias?

  When he's like, "Ohhhhh."

• 1:41:57Speaker 03

  Ass jizzing.

• 1:41:58Stavros Halkias?

  Ohhhhh.

• 1:42:00Speaker 03

  It's just the ass body going on.

• 1:42:02Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, running, he's fucking dropping his pants.

• 1:42:04Speaker 03

  His coworkers wanna like chat a little.

• 1:42:06Stavros Halkias?

  No, no, I gotta go. Just jiggling his jeans outside.

• 1:42:09Speaker 03

  So as far as Sunday goes, where do you wanna meet up?

• 1:42:11Stavros Halkias?

  Not, I have to, I have a call!

• 1:42:13Speaker 03

  Well, let's just logistically get this figured out.

• 1:42:14Stavros Halkias?

  I can't, well, give me a second, my mother's calling me.

• 1:42:17Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 1:42:18Stavros Halkias?

  Ohhhhh.

• 1:42:19Speaker 03

  It didn't look like there's anything on his screen.

• 1:42:21Stavros Halkias?

  Ohhhhh.

• 1:42:22Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 1:42:25Stavros Halkias?

  That first one, dude. That first unclench.

• 1:42:28Speaker 03

  Well, you know what it reminds me of?

• 1:42:29Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, good lord.

• 1:42:30Speaker 03

  When you first, like, when you first start sleeping with someone and like the first like three or four dates where you spend the overnight and then you're about to become a piece of actual shit by the time you like get out, you stop by a grocery store and you run in and you just shit your brains out and you're like, "That purge is better than anything."

• 1:42:46Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:42:47Speaker 03

  Fuck a cleanse, that is just the greatest moment ever.

• 1:42:50Stavros Halkias?

  Totally.

• 1:42:50Speaker 03

  Running up to the front being like, "What's the door code?" Let me walk through the back of the meat truck.

• 1:42:54Stavros Halkias?

  I'll buy gum, I'll buy gum, I'll buy, here's four dog, I'll buy gum, I'll buy gum.

• 1:42:58Speaker 03

  I know I'm in the lock, employee lockers. What's the door code? I'm fucking a hot woman!

• 1:43:06Stavros Halkias?

  She can't know what comes out of my ass.

• 1:43:08Speaker 03

  I'm a monster, I, I fuck in a clean room.

• 1:43:10Stavros Halkias?

  She can't know. It's too early to show her this part of myself.

• 1:43:15Speaker 03

  She'll leave if she learns I'm a monster, you fools!

• 1:43:20Speaker 03

  Slapping someone who's just on a forklift. You idiots!

• 1:43:25Speaker 03

  Open one of those boxes! Ahhh!

• 1:43:31Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, fuck. Open up, I'm gonna shit on those scrub daddies. I'm gonna shit on forty-eight scrub daddies. Oh, they'll soak it up like mushrooms out of an oil spill. You fools.

• 1:43:46Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, fuck. There you go, man. I don't think we could be any clearer than that. Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious what to do. Good luck, man. Get your hole in order. Honestly. Gareth, thank you, brother. Thanks for fucking coming. Thank you, Starus. I appreciate it. Everybody, check out the freaking pods. Yeah. We're here to help. Yeah. Next we have is the new one. Next we have. Go to my YouTube, which is Gareth Reynolds TV, and then I still have the Dollop. The Dollop, of course. Check the Dollop out. But you're still chugging, baby. Still more history to figure out, or? Oh, yeah. It becomes more applicable to today than... We started the show and we were like, "Man, what a bunch of wackadoodle idiots." And now we're like, "Yeah, I know, of course, yeah." As whites are prone to do.

• 1:44:31Stavros Halkias?

  Teapot Dome, you're probably talking about that quite a bit. Oh, yeah. A lot of Ulysses S. Grant, era-type shit. No, there's so much shit. What we're talking about and be like, "Mm-hmm, yeah, it seems like maybe two, three years from now we'll be back to that shit." Absolutely. That's honestly, kind of being a history guy when I was younger, does make me feel a little bit... Because I remember reading and being like, "Huh, can you imagine this stuff happening now?" Oh, dude. And I'm like, "You know what? It happened then. Little rise of fascism's happening. Nah, we'll get through it." Like, there's no more "it's not happening." No. It's, we're in the middle of it. No, it's real weird, man. I mean, like, I remember when you heard that they put Japanese people in concentration camps in America, and you're like, "Jesus Christ, how could that ever happen?"

• 1:45:13Stavros Halkias?

  You're like, "Okay, you know, George Takei got to make movies afterwards. There's gonna be a bunch of, like, Mexican children that will be talking about what an atrocity this was." Now you're like, "Those Japanese internment camps sound pretty nice, honestly." Like, there's not alligators surrounding them, at least. I know, man. It's so fucked. No, completely fucked. You know, we're all fucked, so just take a night, just have some Metamucil. America's trying not to shit in a clean room. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah. Get some ni... Yeah. Let's firm up America's shit with some... With the Metamucil of, uh... Of caring about your community and you know resisting fascism where you can.

• 1:45:51Speaker 03

  Supporting those you love and supporting it through your community.

• 1:45:55Stavros Halkias?

  Trump's a pedophile, it's pretty clear, uh, release the Epstein files.

• 1:45:59Speaker 03

  Clinton was too, so it's all good.

• 1:46:00Stavros Halkias?

  We don't care, by the way.

• 1:46:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, no, we're not like, none of us are like dying on Clinton Hill.

• 1:46:05Stavros Halkias?

  We said it's rich guys versus the rest of us. They're the ones who fuck kids.

• 1:46:08Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:46:09Stavros Halkias?

  The rich of all stripes fuck kids.

• 1:46:11Speaker 03

  We're ready to take down any of those fucking guys you think are on our side.

• 1:46:15Stavros Halkias?

  I'm starting a coalition of non-pedophile millionaires, single millionaires, not in the tens, just a low-digit millionaire that doesn't fuck kids. We're starting a coalition of them, we're gonna take this country back.

• 1:46:29Speaker 03

  We're the most reliable political party of the last hundred years.

• 1:46:33Stavros Halkias?

  We are, we're a little richer than you, but.

• 1:46:35Speaker 03

  We're the mad kid fucking millionaire.

• 1:46:37Stavros Halkias?

  If the shit, if push came to shove, you know, a million dollars is not what it used to be. You hear the term a millionaire, you think he lives in a big ivory tower, not what it is. Okay, maybe he's got his whole family living off him, you know, when you really think about it, he doesn't have that much spending power. Lot of stuff going on here and we don't fuck kids, most importantly, we don't care if you release the Epstein files, we want them released in fact.

• 1:47:02Speaker 03

  It's a disqualifier in our party.

• 1:47:04Stavros Halkias?

  You are not allowed if you fuck kids. No, no, no, no, no, no.

• 1:47:09Speaker 03

  Absolutely, none.

• 1:47:10Stavros Halkias?

  No, no kids.

• 1:47:11Speaker 03

  No kids.

• 1:47:11Stavros Halkias?

  No kids.

• 1:47:12Speaker 03

  None.

• 1:47:13Stavros Halkias?

  That's a, that's a, that's a beautiful political stance, yeah, we're gonna grow that, we're gonna grow that movement.

• 1:47:18Speaker 03

  We don't fuck kids, and it's so popular, we're what we call populists.

• 1:47:23Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:47:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, we don't fuck kids.

• 1:47:24Stavros Halkias?

  That's the thing you could aspire to be, you can, you're never gonna be a billionaire, but you might be a non-pedophile, one millionaire, you might have one million dollars and not fuck kids. I think you can do that, folks. And we need a strong safety, so, social safety net to have that to happen.

• 1:47:39Speaker 03

  I'm from South Carolina, raised by a farmer who didn't fuck any children. My mother wasn't a pedophile either. I'm a regular guy like you.

• 1:47:49Stavros Halkias?

  I bought Bitcoin as kind of a joke. Turns out it's worth exactly one million, one hundred dollars, and I don't fuck kids.

• 1:47:56Speaker 03

  I have no interest. And it's not like I'm sitting on the appeal or something, I have no attraction.

• 1:48:03Stavros Halkias?

  I'm not even close to the fence, I like a mature woman as a matter of fact.

• 1:48:06Speaker 03

  I'm bisexual for adults.

• 1:48:12Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, fuck. All right. That's gonna do it for us, folks. See you next time. Bye-bye.
