This episode offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the hosts' personal lives, highlighting their camaraderie and unfiltered discussions on body image, personal choices, and memorable experiences.

1. From Work Stories to Relaxation

The episode kicks off with Todd sharing a quirky work-related anecdote. He narrates a tense negotiation moment:

Todd [00:03]: "And then I said to him, I said, write down a number on a piece of paper and slide it across the table to me."

However, Peter and Andy playfully challenge the authenticity of his story:

Peter [00:10]: "You didn't."

Andy [00:13]: "Todd, you didn't."

Undeterred, Todd insists he executed his bold move, setting a humorous and light-hearted tone for the conversation.

2. Shifting Gears: No More Work Talk

Eager to leave work chatter behind, Andy steers the conversation towards relaxation:

Andy [00:35]: "No more work stories, no more work talk. Fellas."

Peter [00:45]: "Yeah. The convention ends at five. Now we're just three guys enjoying a soak in a hot tub at the hotel."

This transition marks the beginning of more personal and revealing discussions among the trio.

3. Candid Conversations on Body Image

The hosts delve into unexpected territory by discussing their bodies, specifically focusing on their nipples. Andy initiates the topic with a humorous observation:

Andy [00:52]: "Three guys seeing each other's nipples for the first time ever, huh?"

The conversation takes a serious turn as Peter reveals a personal choice regarding his body:

Peter [03:23]: "These are not my birth nipples. So anything that you're judging me on aesthetically or comparing yourself to... I made a choice a couple of years ago. I was going in for some other stuff."

Peter explains that he underwent a nipple lift surgery, emphasizing his personal satisfaction over societal expectations:

Peter [06:03]: "I was thinking more about what would make me feel sexy and less about what would make her feel sexy about me. I didn't do it for her. For me."

Andy supports the sentiment of personal autonomy over one's body:

Andy [04:12]: "Everyone can do whatever they want with their avatar. Change your body however you feel you want to."

Meanwhile, Todd humorously describes his own nipple appearance:

Todd [02:51]: "My nipples are shaped like tostinos."

4. Sharing Personal Stories and Experiences

Andy shares a wild story from a past convention in Las Vegas, highlighting the unpredictability of their lives:

Andy [08:42]: "I went out into the street. I was drinking a big margarita and I ran into that naked cowboy and he sold me some drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in Vegas now."

This confession leads to a playful revelation about tattoos:

Andy [09:27]: "I ended up getting your names tattooed under my nipples during that bender."

The trio engages in a humorous exchange about the tattoos, showcasing their deep friendship and willingness to share embarrassing moments.

5. Light-Hearted Banter and Humor

The hosts maintain a jovial atmosphere with witty remarks and playful teasing. They discuss Todd’s inventive beverage technique:

Todd [06:31]: "This is Mike's hard root beer float. Now this is a canned root beer float. It is ice cream, but it's freeze-dried like the astronauts eat."

Their humor extends to playful jabs about each other’s appearances and choices, keeping the conversation lively and entertaining.

6. Reflections and Acceptance

As the episode winds down, the hosts reflect on their personal choices and the importance of self-acceptance. Peter shares his satisfaction with his body modifications:

Peter [06:25]: "I took a chance. I took a real gamble. I was thinking more about what would make me feel sexy and less about what would make her feel sexy about me."

Andy reinforces the message of personal freedom and acceptance:

Andy [04:13]: "I feel like they're pretty normal."

Transcript

[Todd]

And then I said to him, I said, write down a number on a piece of paper and slide it across the table to me.

[Peter]

You didn't.

[Todd]

I did.

[Andy]

You didn't.

[Todd]

I did.

[Andy]

Todd, you didn't.

[Todd]

He slides the paper, I don't even peek at it. I rip it in half and I go, done deal.

[Peter]

Todd's move.

[Todd]

Yep.

[Andy]

Whoa.

[Peter]

Do you know what? Eventually, what it said on the paper.

[Todd]

Or it was 17 million. So we did, we did exceed our budget, but in future dealings, I feel like I have the upper hand now. So. Yeah, I feel good. I feel good.

[Peter]

Okay, that was the last one. No more work stories, no more work talk.

[Andy]

No more work talk. Fellas.

[Todd]

Yes.

[Andy]

This is our first time sort of hanging out outside the office.

[Peter]

Yeah. The convention ends at five. Now we're just three guys enjoying a soak in a hot tub at the hotel. Okay.

[Andy]

Three guys seeing each other's nipples for the first time ever, huh?

[Todd]

Well, actually, Tommy, take off your tie. You're hiding them.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Peter]

How do you have your tie covering both nipples too?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Todd]

What's going on?

[Peter]

It feels like it's got like a Dilbert curve to it.

[Andy]

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have brought attention to nipples when I didn't really want you guys looking at mine.

[Todd]

Projecting, huh?

[Andy]

Yeah. I have a very specific tattoo and I don't know, I work at an office with you guys. I was kind of scared.

[Peter]

It's okay that we're all talking about nipples, right? Because I know we did that HR training, but it's like we're all.

[Andy]

We're all in a hot tub. It's that we're all in a hot tub and we're all three guys soaking.

[Peter]

We're off guys, right?

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Peter]

It's not.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Peter]

It's not like we're objectifying anyone's nipples or anything.

[Andy]

No, no.

[Todd]

Yeah.

[Peter]

We're just merely commenting that we all have them. And I've never felt self conscious about my nipples before, but I am just putting this out there. You guys have much different nipples than I thought.

[Andy]

Well, you can't see mine yet.

[Peter]

Well, judging by what you're hiding, I can tell that the shape, you know, I can't see them, but the way that you're hiding them, I could get a sense for them, you know?

[Andy]

Well, I'm hiding them because of the tattoo I have on them. It's not the weird shape. They don't have a weird shape. I feel like they're pretty normal.

[Peter]

I didn't say weird. And if I did, I Apologize.

[Todd]

I mean, pepperoni esque is an adjective.

[Andy]

Todd, this feels like a real glass houses situation coming from you. I'm so sorry. Obviously, with your nipples. This is kind of an insane thing for you to be talking about anyone's nipples. Sorry.

[Peter]

Hey, Andy. Todd. When I brought up that our nipples were all very different, I didn't want to put a judgment on it. I had just never really thought about my nipples before that I saw your guys'and now I'm kind of thinking like, could you. Oh wow, they're all different.

[Andy]

Peter, could you sort of bring attention to what maybe makes us the same rather than making everyone feel sort of self conscious and othered by their nipples?

[Todd]

Well, first I want to take ownership of my, I guess, weird nipples. Yes, my nipples are the exact same color as the rest of my skin. There is no difference of coloration. Okay. And yes, they're shaped like tostinos. Pizza rolls. Tostinos. Totinos.

[Peter]

Totinos.

[Todd]

Tostinos.

[Andy]

Totes. Dodidos. Dodidos.

[Peter]

Okay, I'm sorry if I did the whole weird thing. Andy. Todd, I'll tell you something that I've never told anybody. I had mine done.

[Andy]

That's very clear.

[Peter]

These are not. Well, just so everyone's on the same page, I want to be open and honest. These are not my birth nipples. So anything that you're judging me on aesthetically or comparing yourself to. I made a choice a couple of years ago. I was going in for some other stuff. The doctor said. Hey, by the way, if while we're there.

[Todd]

Wow. You got a Benal.

[Peter]

Yeah, it was basically like a little nipple lift. Yeah. And I basically did it so insurance would cover it because it was like they wouldn't cover it just as an elective, but since it was with a package kind of deal with my body. Pass.

[Andy]

I don't really want to pass any judgment. Like, I'm a firm believer that we're only on earth for a short time. Everyone can do whatever they want with their avatar. Change your body however you feel you want to.

[Peter]

Wait, hold. Wait. What? So your avatar.

[Todd]

Wait, I know what the tattoo is. I can see blue.

[Andy]

Hold on now, hold on now, hold on. So I'm just saying everyone can do anything they want with their avatar, but it does seem like, Peter, you have gotten an extraordinary amount of work done. You got your eyes done. Nose looks like butt. Ears, chin.

[Peter]

My eyes do not look like butt. Oh, no. You're saying that it looks like I got my butt done?

[Andy]

It looks like you got all those things done. That I just listed and I just was. That's the. That seems like the tip of the iceberg.

[Peter]

I don't know if you look like.

[Todd]

Squidward in that one episode.

[Andy]

Yes, you do.

[Peter]

I don't know if it's true for. Well, I should look like Squidward in all the episodes because I've been trying to go for a whole Squidward vibe. True for you. Because, you know, obviously, Andy, I see that you have a tattoo, but, like, it's rare that you see a person with one tattoo, right? Like, you know, sometimes you get a tattoo and it makes you kind of breaks the dam and you want to get more. That's kind of like me and plastic surgery.

[Andy]

I got kind of like me and my nipple tattoos. I got one and I got the other.

[Peter]

Yeah, exactly.

[Andy]

Same thing.

[Peter]

So you get it. So I got my nipples done, and then I kind of started thinking about all the other things that could get done. And then, you know, obviously, like, my uncle died, and we came into a little bit of money, and I had disposable cash to burn. And we're like, you know, we're, you know, what is. What's. What's the terminology? Well, not rich, but we're comfortable. Two income, no kid. What? It's like dink, dink, double income, no kid. Thank you. We're dinks.

[Andy]

And your wife really has a Squidward thing now?

[Peter]

She does. She's getting one more and more. I had to work.

[Andy]

Whoa, you had that? You were hoping that would become a require, like an acquired taste for her. I said required. That was a bit of a Freudian slip. She sort of needs to. Needs to be into Squidward sexually now, it seems.

[Peter]

No, no, I don't think so. I don't think so because I am still me. But it was one of those things that I was happy with, the way that it turned out, because it turned. Because I took a chance. I took a real gamble. I was thinking more about what would make me feel sexy and less about what would make her feel sexy about me. I didn't do it for her. For me. And it turns out it was a turn on for both of us. So it's like.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Todd, what are you drinking? What is that?

[Todd]

Yeah. So this. Do you know. Are you familiar with Mike's Hard Lemonade?

[Andy]

Yeah, of course. That's not what that is.

[Todd]

Well, I'm trying to set the table. I'm trying to Table set. To brace everyone for what I am drinking. So this is Mike's heart.

[Peter]

You keep dipping It. You keep dipping it into the hot tub water.

[Todd]

Yes, it's Mike's hard root beer float. Now this is a canned root beer float. It is ice cream, but it's freeze dried like the astronauts eat. So what you have to do is you have to introduce water to it every 10 seconds or else it re solidifies the ice cream. So I just have to kind of keep getting it wet because the root beer, for whatever reason, the root beer doesn't interact with the chemicals in the freeze dried ice cream.

[Andy]

Can I. And I think you probably already know this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Certainly not. No. You know that hot tub full water has like a ton of chlorine chemicals. Like it's safe enough probably to get like a little bit of it in your mouth, but to drink it if.

[Todd]

It'S already going up my butt and in my pee hole, it's fine. Going in my mouth.

[Andy]

Your pee hole and butt are that gaping that that much water is going up.

[Peter]

Kidding.

[Todd]

One is. Well, speaking of. Hey, if we're going to body shame, let's see those navi nipples, huh?

[Andy]

Hey, let's see those navi nips. Navi nips.

[Todd]

Navi nips. Hey, hey, Fel. Navi nips.

[Andy]

Hey.

[Todd]

Sorry.

[Peter]

That movie hit.

[Andy]

Hit some people harder than others. Okay. I thought the acting was gorgeous in the original Avatar. I thought the acting was out of this world. I hated the movie. Hated the vibe of the movie acting.

[Peter]

What? What? Can we just. Can we just see them? I mean, at this point, the hiding them thing, I. We all know that they're Na'vi nipples. Can we just see them, you guys?

[Andy]

Yes, but it's not just the Na'vi nipples. That part is pretty mild. It's what's written under them.

[Todd]

Uh, oh, okay.

[Andy]

I should just rebop the band aid and tell you I've been dreading this all weekend. Okay. Yeah. There's a band aid coming.

[Todd]

Oh, the ties kind of stuck onto the nipples with double sided band aids.

[Andy]

Yes. And you know what? I sort of had to. Mac, I don't need to explain myself. You guys remember when we went to that convention in Vegas and it was such a good time, such a time.

[Peter]

The hot tub at that Hilton was off the chain.

[Andy]

Well, after that convention. So embarrassing. I went out into the street. I was drinking a big margarita and I ran into that naked cowboy and he sold me some drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in Vegas now.

[Peter]

I feel like they have one everywhere. Yeah, I don't know if it's the same guy. But I feel like. Where was I? I was in Nashville. Oh, like two months ago when they had a naked cowboy.

[Andy]

He's not supposed to be there.

[Peter]

Yeah, that's what I said. I said, you're not supposed to be there. And he booked it. I mean, he took off running.

[Todd]

So it's like in N outs where it's like they're spreading, but there's some states where it's like you can't have it in and out.

[Peter]

Yeah. Because they can't locally source enough naked cowboy.

[Andy]

I guess. Long story short, I did drugs. I, on the drug trip, dreamed, hallucinated, however you want to put it, that the three of us were on a weekend bender together. Turns out was not you guys. But I ended up getting your names tattooed under my nipples during that bender.

[Todd]

Peter.

[Andy]

What? This was sort of a strike three for my wife, so.

[Todd]

Oh, I hope I'm Sam Wellington. Sam Wellington.

[Peter]

Jake Sully.

[Todd]

Jake. No, I want to say Sam Wellington.

[Andy]

Sets curtains on my wife.

[Peter]

Oh, my God.

[Todd]

Oh, no, it's fine.

[Andy]

It's good. It's actually good.

[Peter]

Is that a bit of Na'vi language? What was that you should say?

[Andy]

Yeah, sorry. I. When I get upset, I use it to sort of soothe.

[Todd]

What the fuck? Oh, oh, oh, oh. A tail.

[Andy]

What?

[Todd]

Peter, you have a tail.

[Andy]

I connect it to trees when I need to. You know what, guys? If we're not gonna have fun in the hot tub, then I think I'll just probably go to the hotel bar or whatever.
