She, at certain points in the show, wants to forsake her own family and join this family, for sure. She hates her own family. She's a self-hating Conklin.
14:10Even though, like, Laurel's an amazing mother. It's so true. Oh, your parents are divorced. Yeah. My parents are divorced. What happened? You come from a broken home. You do. A broken, poor home. Yeah. Sorry. We come from a broken home. And to be clear, they're actually not poor. They're not poor. You're just really rich? Yes. Yes. Like, they're fine. They're fine. They're just to college. Like, they have a lovely house. They have a nice house. The mom is a professor and a writer. The dad we don't know. Professor. Oh, he's a professor.
14:41So I think we should dive in. Yeah, let's dive in. If you guys are ready. All right. What story should I start with first? Should we start with the word of the year? So maybe the young person here can explain it to us. Yeah, sure. I don't know if you know this, Ben, but like Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster. Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster. Every year they do like a word of the year. And it always like symbolizes. and they've gotten like increasingly more stupid. They're like, they're not even words these days. It's like slang. And I feel like one year it was like riz. So stupid. Well, dictionary.com has revealed the 2025 word of the year and it's actually not really a word.
15:12They've announced that the 2025 word of the year is the viral phrase six, seven. What? You're kidding. Marco, can you explain? Like, no, no, no. Because by the way, I actually don't know. I've been seeing six, seven everywhere. And it's like the one trend I refuse to like figure out what it is. Okay. So the website announced on Tuesday that its official word of the year is six, seven. A word derived from the song Doot Doot 6-7 by Skrilla. What the fuck? That features a recurring lyric, 6-7. Imagine if Merriam-Webster could see this now. Well, I just want to say Merriam-Webster is always debasing herself.
15:43Hers is going to be 69. She's always making herself up. No, I mean the Merriam. There isn't a Merriam. There was a Merriam. It's Merriam. You don't think that there was a Merriam-Webster? Wait, what is 6-7? So this is what they said. If you're the parent of a school-aged child, you might be feeling a familiar vexation at the sight of these two formerly innocuous numerals. If you're a member of Gen Alpha, however, you're smirking at the thought of adults once again struggling to make sense of your notoriously slippery slang. So according to dictionary.com, 6-7 is a viral, ambiguous slang term. Thanks.
16:11So it doesn't have meaning? Then why is it word of the year? It doesn't have meaning? That is largely nonsensical. The website suggests that some argue it means so-so, like mid. Or it could mean maybe this, maybe that. What? Are we speaking English? So there's not even a definition in the dictionary. So like I'm feeling 6-7? Others use 6-7 as a way to respond to questions as a result of seeing the number 67 in consecutive order in the wild, such as on a math problem or within a phone number. 77-76. Oh my God. We are 6-7. For like 10 years. One time. 77-76. One time, literally one time, 10 years ago, we were at the Knick game.
16:49And they have like an announcer who has like a funny voice and the score was 77-76. And he just like said it in a way that was weird. And we just say it all the time. 77-76. 77, 76. But this has nothing to do with 6-7. I'm still unclear what it means. It doesn't seem to have a meaning. Okay, so I think we would use it like this. Ask me how I'm feeling. How are you feeling? 6-7. Yeah. You know? Totally. Totally 6-7. Like mid, I think. Yeah, 6-7. Yeah. 6-7. And what about 7-8-9? Mm. 7 was hungry. Real. Mm. That's relatable. Mm. So that's word of the year. Although I don't think people take dictionary.
17:24Dictionary.com is so lowbrow. Solo brow. I'm pretty fucking pissed. I don't like this. Okay, Belly. I don't like this at all. What would Belly's word of the year be? Annoying. No, like, yearning. No, okay, actually, this is a fun game. Jer, I like how you're sitting. I don't know how to sit like a man. It's honestly really nice. I know, it's like freeing. It's freeing. Okay, let me spread them. Yeah. Like, men just do this all the time. It's nice. Is that how you sit? Yeah, I think so. No, Ben always sits with his heel up on his... Oh, no, I sit like this. Yeah, you do. But how you were sitting before was good, Belly.
17:56This is exclusively a fat man's cross. Why do you say that? Because you have to create room for your thighs. This is a skinny man's cross. That's how girls sit. I'm sorry. Any guy who sits like that is girly. Or like a TV news host or anchor. They cross their ankles. Isn't this a very, what's his name? Larry King? Was that his name? What is the thing? I was going to say Stephen King. Larry King? You know, I don't know what either of you are talking about. You're both like, I don't know if you know we're like on a podcast. You know Larry King? Yeah. he's out like this cool okay everyone word of the year I'm too low Jeremiah's word of the year is like seriously loser cheater lame-o like you're a self-hating Jer I'm a self-hating Jer I hate myself um Ben how do my tits look like they feel really like you look like you've gynecomastia it feels that way you think you've Joey gynecomastia are you okay yeah I'm hot I'm fine no we're good oh I'm good Nobody talks about how hard it is to wear a wig, Ashley.
18:57No, it's brutal. Terrible. Yeah, I'm sweating. But fun. I'm like, right? Fun. Ben's obsessed. Fun. Ben and his hair flip. I would love to know what I look like. Do you know what I mean? I could see you guys. I know, same. What I look like. Like, you look like, how do you think you look like? I don't think I look like Connie. Margot, you actually look so much like Jeremiah. Ben looks like he's obviously in a costume. Like, you look silly. Margot? Do I look warm? Do I look as warm as I feel? Well, you wear a lot of blush. Yeah, so your face is not a lot of blush. Why are you flipping your hair like that?
19:31Because I can't look at both of you, and it's a really fucking hard seat. Okay? Oh, my God. I know who you look like. I know who you look like. Lena Dunham. She has black hair now. You actually look like Lena Dunham. And, like, your attitude is giving Hannah from girls. Totally. And you're like, I can't talk to both of you. I hate you. What else did she say in that like bad, good show? Ben was obsessed with girls. It was never a girls person. I love girls. I would like several of you guys watching it. This is very Lena Dunne. Like I think she actually wore that in girls. She did. She did. And now her hair is black.
20:12You really, that's who you look like. Okay, so word of the year according to dictionary.com. And by the way, nobody listens to dictionary.com. They're lowbrow. Like Merriam-Webster is like the fancy one. Like, okay, good luck. Can Belly like put her hair like what about this? No. Sometimes has a pony. No. Do you have a pony? Okay now you look like Joachim Noah. Noah. And by the way I have a basketball story. I chose it for you Ben. Oh great. Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson have hit a major relationship move. Oh I didn't know that they were seeing each other. I knew. Isn't that a good couple?
20:39It is. So Megan Thee Stallion and her. She was the one who was in Love Island. And her NBA star boyfriend Klay Thompson. What? Not her enormous. You mean Meg Thee Stallion from Love Island? She did like a small role. Like she like hosted one challenge. And that's how you know her. Like you don't know her from like, I'm a savage. No, I do. But like I didn't appreciate her until I saw her on Love Island. She's funny. And realized that she was really funny. She was a fantastic host. And I was like, oh, you know, Ariana Maddox really fucking sucks at her job. Yeah. Like you should really be this host.
21:08I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if - Would you agree that she sucks at her job? I don't. Guys, I don't know how, like I've said this before. How does anyone have the time to watch a show every single night? So I was only if it was once a week, I was only able to watch it because I was on maternity leave. Totally. 24 hours a day. That's fair. I haven't actually ever watched a season while also living a full life. And I don't know how people do it. I don't know. It's amazing. It takes over their life. They're like, I have to go home to watch Love Island. That sucks. But no, it's so fun to watch.
21:35Like, I get it. It's a great show. We had the time of our lives. I've watched like the first episode and they play really good music. Yes. They play amazing music. Oh, that me discovering the song. Oh, it's so good by Jackie's friend, Mimi Webb. What song? Ghost. Ghost of You? Yeah, sing it. Or House on Fire. Ghost. I like that we're bopping, but we don't know the song. Ghost of You. Hold on. I love it. But don't play it. I know, I know, I know. I'm just looking at it. What's that new artist that I like? Olivia Dean? Do you know Knox? Like K.N.? Yeah. No. Cool. Ghost. Oh, Ghost of You. Yeah, wait.
22:12Ghost of You, sing it. Hold on. I'm just going to play it like really low. Come on. They were playing it when they were getting... Do it? Said you wanted drinks and games. You'd wonder. No, you'd wonder if you feel the same. When the lights go out, I see you.
22:38Oh, yeah, I remember that song. Very good. Yeah, you're right. Kind of One Direction, Five Saucy. Yes, they play the best music on Love Island. And that's really why you would like it, Satchel. Yeah. But back to the story. They bought a house together, Clay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion. And now I want to know, Ben, who do you think has more money? Does he have a lot of money? Yeah. He's had like a couple hundred million dollar contract. Oh, yeah. Go beg. No, NBA players these days, the contracts are so stupid. What sport gets the biggest contracts? I feel like baseball. No, the NBA. NFL. No, not even close.
23:10You guys, you guys, you guys. Definitely not hockey. You literally have bad players now on like$40 million a year contracts. In the NBA. In the NBA. Actually, number one is soccer. Like Messi. Okay, but we don't have soccer in America. Yeah, we do. Messi plays for Inter Miami. Yeah. Who do they play against? We have majors in soccer. There's the Philadelphia Union in Philly. Okay. Marco. What the hell is the Philadelphia Union? I only know that through work. I only know that through work. Kevin Sullivan, shout out. Yeah, but there's also like LAFC, you know, like. Oh, yeah. They're all like investors in that guy.
23:44And they make a lot of money. Yes, tons. But I don't know. It's definitely not number. I don't think it's number one in the U.S. I think soccer is number one. I think NBA is number two. U.S., you're sleeping on baseball. MLB. But the thing is, baseball's contracts are so long. So you see something like. No, not only that. I think like if you did it per game, football's winning. They play like three games a year and they make$100 million. For sure. Baseball players, they never go home. True. For sure. So they're getting paid the most, but they're working the hardest. I don't think I would want that.
Read the full transcript
24:09I would want less money. Hmm. I always say, like, if I was married to a pro athlete, I would want them to be in football. Because, yeah, they'd come home with, like, a concussion. But at least they're coming home. They're literally brain dead. Yeah. They're literally brain dead. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, Kalina Mbappé. Oh, for Real. I know Real. I watched a Beckham documentary. He's approximately$600 ,000. Oh,$31 million per week. Oh, so it's$30 million a year,$600 ,000 per week. This is a significant decrease. Oh, damn. From Paris Saint-Germain. No, there's no lots of money. Yeah. That's crazy.
24:40Totally. I know nothing about football. But I'm sure that Clay Thompson is so chic. Football? I think, yeah. Did you watch Beckham? Yeah, I did. The second one. Victoria? Yeah. No, not yet. Was it good? It was okay. Soccer? Yeah, I think it's chic. Oh, that's who you look like. She's the man. Amanda Vines. You said that on FaceTime. I said it on FaceTime because that shirt is the shirt. Illyria colors. It's the shirt. Welcome to Illyria. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome to Illyria. Ooh, welcome. So they bought a house together.
25:19Ben, what team does he play for? He plays for the Dallas Mavericks now. I wonder where they bought a house. They probably bought a house in Dallas, if I had to assume. Oh, also, he's now making so much money because there's no income tax. In where? Texas. There never has been. It's not a new thing. No, I'm saying in comparison to Golden State, you know how much money he was losing in San Francisco? With those crooks? It doesn't say where the house is. Is. It's cute. It's not cute. That's a good thing. Really nice. So they're showing you the house, but they are not showing you where they are. Yeah.
25:49They did hard hands in front with their keys. Like so cute. I just want to say I ship these two so hard. I never like see them or think about them. And then they come across my desk and I'm like, oh, they're perfect for each other. Yeah. I'm glad they're still together. A little. I have two Dancing with the Stars stories. The one is that. Yes. Well, via online. She watches Eclipse. Got it. But like you really see everything. So did you see Val's brother, Max, going on the podcast about Jan? Yes. And then did you see his apology today? I didn't see he apologized. So Max. OK, with the ads, I can't.
26:20And Jan was like. Max Komarakovsky has apologized to Jan Ravnik after. His turned podcast and has invited Jan to meet and quote, bury the hatchet. So I just want to say, like, Max is giving like actual stalker. No, and it's also like, did you see Val, what he said? Yeah, he was like, listen, my brother has a lot of opinions. I don't agree with them. He's very passionate. But like, no, I don't agree. Yeah. I'm very diplomatic because he has to work with Jan. Totally. He doesn't want to cause drums for Alex. So then Max made like an Instagram play tagging at Jan. It was basically like, first and foremost, I want to apologize to Jan for the way my words had made you feel for hurting your feelings.
27:00Even though Jan said it didn't hurt his feelings, Jan was asked about it. Like after the episodes, they all stand around the whole room and do interviews. He was like, yeah, I saw it. Like, it didn't hurt my feelings. He was just like. I don't care. He said he's trying to be relevant. Honestly, he was a slave from Jan. Yeah. Everything I see of Jan post Dancing with the Stars, I didn't like him when he was on, but now I'm kind of obsessed with him. So this is what Max said. There's a lot more I want to say. I would like an opportunity to do it over coffee or any time you have to spare. I would love to meet.
27:22I would love to talk about this and bury the hatchet. Like, respectfully, no one cares what you have to say. Like, respectfully, actually leave Jan alone. Who's Max? I'm saying, like, he was on the show. Yes, his brother was down. He's a former dancer. Yeah. And his brother's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's Alex Arnold's partner. And he's married to another former. It sounds to me like Max is just trying to. Stay relevant. Stay relevant. A thousand percent. And like not only did Jan like not respond to him. Now he's writing again. I'd love to meet. I have to meet you now. I'm so Team Jan. No, but don't make me your problem.
27:48Like I don't want to talk to you. I'm Team Jan. Team Jan. And then the second Dancing with the Stars story was that. Team Jan. Team Jan. Team Jan. Do you want to flip your hair and say it again? Two. Oh, Ben was having issues. Ben was having issues prior to recording that the horse hair was getting in his eyes. You need my contacts. Are you okay? I'm fine. I'm fine. Timion. It's crazy you're wearing contacts. I didn't realize you're not wearing glasses. Well, Bentley doesn't wear glasses. Of course. No, I know. But like, that's crazy. Timion. Timion. Timion. Well, everyone's talking about this photo making in the rounds.
28:18People might not have noticed, but in the background of the filming on Monday, Ashley Titsdale was there with Kenny Ortega. I saw that. A little high school musical reunion. And they were both there as guests of Dylan Efron. Now, I know everyone's sick of me talking about this. That's weird. Because they say I'm just like looking into. What the hell? No Zac Efron, but Kenny Ortega? And Ashley Tisdale? Oh, also. Do they even like know each other? Wait, I got an email today. YouTube TV and Disney haven't reached an agreement. We can't watch ABC on YouTube TV anymore. How am I supposed to watch Dancing with the Stars?
28:46ESPN and. We need cable back. No, we don't. We can't watch Knicks games. Yeah, we can't watch Knicks games. What do you mean? Unless they're on like national. There's no MSG on YouTube TV. You can only watch a Knicks game on MSG. You can only watch like a normal Nick game. If it's like a pargy game, if it's like a great game. They don't like nationally broadcast every single Nick game. They don't? No, because - Margot, that's something I learned about sports too. Like your fave team like might not be on TV. Most of the time. Okay, but what about if you like a Utah Jazz fan - Margot, if you go to a bar to watch a game, would they have it?
29:14They would have cable. But Margot, if you were like a big - They would make sure to have it because they're a bar. Right, right. If you were a big Utah Jazz fan like in this very moment, you would never be able to see their games. That's so crazy. I know. What about like Red Zone stuff? Then you could see it in like a tiny box. When I became a big San Francisco 49ers fan, when I found out everyone was listening to our podcast in the locker room, I couldn't watch it. I was like literally downloading a VPN. That is so wild. No, I know. What was the story? No clue. Oh, YouTube TV. We're not going to be able to watch.
29:43What do we do? There has to be another, like, can you stream on Peacock? You can watch it next day on Hulu. Or what about Disney Plus? Next day. Not Disney Plus. Next day. Really? But Disney and ABC. Next day. That's crazy. So what is everyone else going to do? There's no ABC. There's no Disney. There's no ESPN on YouTube TV anymore. How do these people get to a boiling point and just drop the ball? I streamed on Hulu the night of. Oh, you did? Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah. Positive. Absolutely. Okay. Well, Ashley Tizdale and Kenny Ortega have reunited at Dancing with the Stars after the high school musical actress and the film director reunited on Dancing with the Stars ballroom to watch Zac Efron's younger brother Dylan Efron bop to the top for the show's Halloween night.
30:26Ashley embraced her Disney Channel roots, sharing a fabulous selfie with Kenny in the audience. She said, I love at Kenny Ortega so much. So much fun cheering on Dylan Efron together. I'm sorry. It's weird. It is. Very weird. For sure, it's weird. And I've been trying to convince everyone that there's something. Is she married? Ashley's his dad? Yeah, she has two kids. Got it. Okay, so she couldn't be dating him. No. And he has a girlfriend. Long time, like, high school girlfriend. Who does? Dylan Efron. Oh, really? Yeah. Do you think that he is, like, secretly with his partner? I do. Oh, but she's married.
30:52Married. With kids, yeah. Another partner. By the way, it happens a lot. This feels like a show of cheaters. You know Robert Herjavec. It is like everyone like, you know, Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank. Yeah. He was on Dancing with the Stars and then left his wife and married his partner. They have twins. I mean, you're dance. You're like so close. So sexual. That's why you're never allowed to go on. Understood. That makes sense. The Bella twins. Yes. She like married him. And then they got divorced because he was very turnt behavior. We saw them in L.A. Did you? At Erewhon. Yeah. Yeah. No. But so it happens all the time.
31:23They're always dating. You think Andy's going to run away with his woman? I hope so. Also, Sasha Farber. And remember Jen Tran, Bachelorette. Yes. Are they still dating? No, they broke up. No, there's a lot of... I actually just saved a TikTok because it was somebody going through... The pros. Yeah, the pros who have literally gotten married and divorced and then dating... So, Emma, Andy's partner... Yes, yes, yes. Emma. Yes. Was married to Sasha Farber. Now they're divorced. She's dating Alan. Yeah. Oh, on the show. Yes. Is she dating Alan? Yes. who's Elaine Hendricks' partner. He pisses me off.
31:55Who? Alan. Well, he watches the show. I just found out. I love you, Alan. And he's Jewish. He is? Almost all the guys are Jewish. Max and Val are Jewish. Well, they're probably Russian Jews. The Eastern Europeans on the show. And ballroom dance is big in Eastern Europe, so it kind of makes sense. Fun fact, I have played basketball with Val. Yes, Ben has. Ben joined the basketball league. Probably like three years ago, there's like a L.A. pickup game, and Val was there. Somebody invited Ben. Wow. And they're like, this is Val. I'm like. I'm sure you had no idea at the time. Yeah. Yeah. But he's aggressive.
32:27He's fast. He's aggressive. Only afterwards. Got it. He's in amazing shape. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's like a hustler, rebounds, defense. Like one of those. Also something that I want to talk about. I'm not going to do any of those things. He's the opposite of me. I go to Ben's like, no, not him go. You don't really play so much anymore. But Ben used to be in like a couple of leagues. And you're an amazing shooter. Like Ben will stand from halfway down the court. But when I tell you he does not move. He does not run. he doesn't do defense he just waits by the basket for somebody to give him a ball and his teammates don't give it to him because it's like annoying yeah oh you sound so fun to play with no wait by way also on dancing with the stars i just want to want to call one thing out you know what i've really been enjoying is like how they've kind of been showing which i feel like they used to do back when not everything had to be like so politically correct when like you know the pros would like make their like partner cry because i saw that video of max too with hope solo oh but not even that but i there was a video of like alex crying and because she was like because she said to Val she's like I want you to be hard on me like I want you to like you know yell at me tell me what I have to do whatever at the end of it she's like crying and she's like this is exactly like what I asked for well I saw a video of Max's time on the show when he was training Hope Solo and he shoved her and made her cry and like it was actually not funny yeah it was like bad oh Max is giving big loser energy I just want to say no I yeah I don't really I can't take you seriously like that like it's kind of like a perfect shade for Ben look at Ben's lips um I actually kind of disagree it's like a little peachy but like yeah for you but it matches Ben's skin tone really well I can't with the like jeremy I just want to say I'm loving your glossy balm oh my god I'm wearing lip gloss no I did like I just like wasn't thinking this morning and so I always put on my like lip stain before I start doing my makeup and then once after I put it on I was like wait fuck and you can't take off a lip stain so it happens a lot with tosting ween like I'm not going to be on here with no makeup so yes like conrad's wearing Natasha Denona foundation oh hey rich I feel like I'm doing that money by the way it's an amazing foundation i need it i highly recommend i need it um but i'm not gonna be here makeupless no every time i play a male character he's wearing like a bissel foundation and like contour i have yeah i have like a full face like but jeremiah would because like you know he's he's like that does anyone have a theory on dylan and zach and i will let this go at some point but i just want to say like i was right i just think the whole thing like when something could so easily be solved by like an instagram story and it doesn't get done then there has to be an issue it begs the question.
34:41Yeah. I like that, Margot. Hmm. I don't know. Belly? I don't know. Ooh, I don't know. Belly? I don't know. Get the fuck away from my girl. Jer? Jer? Jer, get out of here. Oh, ladies, there's more than enough to go around. Oh, men. Oh, boys. Oh, Jer, what are you doing right now? Margot, can you talk into the mic, please? This is my engagement ring. that's actually garbage from Starbucks so
35:14oh thank you it doesn't fit oh oh oh oh is it like she got like a shitty ring no you have no idea a ring like that like this no like imagine this was for a woman no but smaller what do you mean smaller thinner there was no ring there was no diamond no it was likely a dot it was probably the size of a sesame seed yeah But he's rich. Right. Right. That's why everyone. But he like refused to take money from his dad because his dad is toxic and like won't give him a job. So he like scrounged together his lifeguarding money and bought her like a plastic ring. Did you see Amazon Prime on Twitter? Making fun of that girl's wedding.
35:51Yeah, that was fucked. Yeah. It was Amazon Prime like India. UK. Yeah. Same thing. Ready for the final story. Oh, Jesse Eisenberg. Do you know that has been this actor? Of course. Social network. He announced like randomly that he's like low key donating his kidney to a total stranger. Wow. I didn't know where you were going with that. What did you think I was going to say? I thought knowing all of his money. No, that's you.
36:16Okay, Jesse Eisenberg is donating a kidney to a stranger, and he's calling it a no-brainer. He shared the news while he was recalling his participation in the Today Show-sponsored blood drive. He was just like, literally, he didn't come on the Today Show to say this. They were talking about how a couple years ago he was on the Today Show. They did a blood drive, and he donated blood. And he's like, I just have so much blood in me. I feel like I should spill it all. I really like doing it. I don't know why. I'm actually donating my kidney in six weeks. I really am. Holy crap. I thought he was joking.
36:39They were laughing. They were like, wait, really? That's crazy. Yeah. He was like, I got bitten by the blood donation bug. I love it. And then the host was like, well, that's a big jump, like to donate your kidney. He's like, I'm doing an altruistic donation in mid-December, which is like when you don't know the person. Right. You just like save a line in the registry. You find out you're a match and you give it. I just refuse to believe that if you donate your kidney, you're you're fine afterwards. Oh, well, you like are unless the other kidney craps out. Having two kidneys is just sort of having like a backup hard drive.
37:06Right. I'm pretty sure that we're born with two kidneys for a reason. It's a very lovely thing. To back up. I'm just saying like what happens when his second kidney goes away? I was going to say if either of you needed a kidney like I wouldn't even think about it for a second. Same. Same. For a total stranger that's so nice. Really nice. So nice. I could never. That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. Risky too. For him like where do you draw the line? Like okay obviously my immediate family. Anyone needs a kidney like I'll do it. What like second concept? No but like immediate family like best friends. I think you would for your best friend.
37:36I would best friend over a second cousin. Yeah, me too. Oh, you would? Okay. Yeah, for sure. What's a second cousin? Do we have any? I don't know. I feel like I have a million of them. Yeah, Ben, you do. Yeah. So I'd probably do it for a second cousin. Hmm. Where do I draw the line? Like if I, okay. Like belly. Would you give Conrad or Jeremiah a kidney? Of course. You would give them anything. Oh, if I could only pick one. We both needed a kidney. And you only have one to give. And I know you don't know this, but I just want to remind you, like, you and I are engaged. Like now, and we're OTP.
38:11Like, we're getting married. We're in love. There, you guys haven't gotten engaged yet. Relax. Oh, right. Oh, right. No, no, but we get married, no? I've decided. Why don't you ruin it? I've decided to give my kidney. To kill you both. To Jeremiah. Jeremiah, you are not the father. Oh, my God. So you're going to kill Connie. That is Connie. I was like, who is that? Wait, what? Conrad. Connie is a woman's name. Connie is Conrad. No, Connie is like a Karen in Walmart. That is 100 % your look, Connie baby. That is 100%. We have to have Ben do that at TikTok. Yeah. Okay. That is 100 % your look, Connie baby.
38:59Oh, God. Cringe. Cringe. Maybe, Belly, actually, Connie, you can have her. Time casts a spell on you. Is that in the show? Yeah. It's like a pivotal moment. Is that Tara McLaughlin? With Mac. Got it. Got it. Pretty similar. In the home. You have like a mental breakdown because I'm not being like a good boyfriend at my own mother's funeral. I think they're broken up. And then like you storm out of the funeral and then that song starts playing. And you know, you actually yell at me and you yell at Connie at like what they call a shiva. whatever that memorial is at the house you yell at Connie in front of everyone at his mom's weight that's pretty fucked up it was so awkward oh and then you fall then you fall she fell oh she fell yeah time cast a spell on you but you won't forget me
40:20I can't stop looking at your belly button. You have the biggest belly button I've ever seen in my life. Oh, Billy. It is a vast, dark hole. It is. I mean, if you guys want to zoom in. I miss Lacey. It goes really deep. Oh, she misses Lacey? Miss Lacey. Did you hear that, Billy? Who? Who the fuck is Lacey? Is she friends with Taylor? No. Oh, at least she's the mom. No. Oral. I cheated on you with Lacey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The hooker in that place. Cuba. No, Cabo. Cuba. Yeah, right. I'm sweating, so I'm wrapping. Oh, go for it. It's been an absolute pleasure hanging out with you guys.
