Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Summer Catch-up: Family, Food, and New York Adventures

• Jamie’s Summer: Prioritized family time; highlights included a trip to Lake Tahoe and filming a movie in Mississippi ("Mississippi was wild... a lot of space. It’s pretty. Really pretty hot. A lot of fried food." – Jamie, 01:27).
• Rob’s New York Food Tour: Rob passionately recounts his best-ever meals at Theodora in Brooklyn, breaking down his favorites—from jalapeño-heavy Harry Masa dish to bakery-fresh ricotta toast ("This dish that I had, it’s really it... I told the bartender, ‘Hey, man, this is the best dish I’ve ever had.’ And he goes, ‘That’s the reason I work here.’" – Rob, 04:15).

2. Viral Internet Oddities: Italian Brain Rot & AI-Generated Music Videos

• The hosts riff on the bizarro trend of “Italian brain rot” YouTube videos—clips with Italian-sounding nonsense words and cutesy animations ("It sounds like the names that I call my kids when they're babies." – Jamie, 08:08).
• Jamie shares an equally absurd late-night discovery: an AI-generated music video full of “hot AI girls”—sparking creeping parental dread and sardonic laughs. (“This is the... that my kids are gonna, like, masturbate to." – Jamie, 09:21).

3. Jamie-Lynn’s Shift to Writing

• Jamie reveals she’s spent her recent weeks writing intensively (“I’ve been by myself a lot... Like, eight, nine hours a day.” – Jamie, 12:02), grappling with perfectionism and contemplating ceremonially destroying her ancient laptop when she’s finished.

4. Deep Dive: Abby & Brittany Hensel, the Conjoined Twins

• Prompted by a ‘Congratulations’ segment, Rob introduces the story of Abby and Brittany, conjoined twins in the news for their recent family milestones and a new spate of online curiosity.
• The conversation morphs into a burst of questions—practical, ethical, and personal—about life as conjoined twins:
  • Relationships/Marriage/Pregnancy: How do intimacy and relationships work? (“...when the other two are connecting, she’s like, ‘Bye, I’m not here?’” – Jamie, 22:22)
  • Individual Choice and Agency: How do they handle differences in preferences, moods, or even moral decisions? (Rob’s scenario: “Let’s say they’re at a party. One of them is really enjoying themselves, and the other one wants to leave... what happens?” – Rob, 25:15)
  • Practical Questions: Driving, eating (shared and separate organs), taxes, and employment ("Do they both have to pay taxes or just one?" – Listener Comment, 36:57).
  • Division of Physical Control: Reference to their show ("Each of the heads controls half of the body. So one head controls one arm, one leg, and the other..." – Narrator/Expert, 27:08).
  • Anatomy Lesson: An inserted segment details their medical uniqueness, listing shared and individual organs with fascinating specificity ("Despite sharing blood circulation, their individual brains and spinal cords function independently from each other..." – Narrator/Expert, 30:44).

5. Playful Vivisection: Social Media Comments & Hypotheticals

• Rob requests and reads out some wild and humorous social media comments about the twins, highlighting both the curiosity and insensitivity of the internet ("Dude can get head and nuts licked at the same time. Bro gets to have a 1.5-some every night." – Social Media Comment, 36:21).
• The hosts muse over everything from romantic relationships to employment disputes ("Could you imagine one of them being like, ‘You’re a freeloader, you don’t work!’" – Rob, 37:15).
• Jamie admits her biggest challenge would be the lack of alone time ("I like to be alone all the time... not getting any alone time, man." – Jamie, 37:38).

6. Lighter Fare: Celebrity Trivia and Friendship Dynamics

• Rob reveals, to Jamie’s amusement, that Jeff Goldblum also has the middle name “Lynn” (“Jeff Lynn Goldblum. I don’t know why he didn’t go with the Jamie Lynn right style.” – Rob, 39:34).
• The show rounds out with fun, mutual appreciation for each other's wit, and teasing about “brain rot” content versus genuine curiosity.

Tone & Dynamic

Jamie is sweetly inquisitive, sometimes bashful about awkward questions, and warmly invested. Rob oscillates between gleeful gross-out curiosity (“This is the topic of conversation of where does all of this...”), devil’s advocate, and educator—loving the chance to ask “unaskable” questions but always with a fundamental respect for the subjects.

The banter is uncensored, sometimes crude, yet distinctly rooted in both authenticity and genuine interest—making for an episode that is as empathetic and enlightening as it is hilarious and unpredictable.

Final Thoughts

This episode epitomizes what makes Not Today, Pal a fun, insightful, and always surprising listen: Jamie and Rob’s odd-couple friendship, their ability to pivot from the ridiculous (AI porn, nonsense Italian) to the truly profound (how do two people truly share one life?), and their knack for making even the strangest topics feel human. Their conversation about Abby & Brittany is unfiltered but manages a rare blend of humor and authentic wonder, leaving you with lots to think (and laugh) about—especially if you’ve ever wondered how “tag team taxes” might actually work.

[Rob]

How are you?

[Jamie]

Hi.

[Rob]

Hi. I mean, the people don't know we were gone for a few weeks. I went to New York. You did? What did you do? What? You did. Lake Tahoe, Mississippi.

[Jamie]

Yes. I went to lake Tahoe Fur Friends 40th for a weekend. Did a little movie in Mississippi. But other than that, I've had the most boring summer, which is what we wanted.

[Rob]

That's good.

[Jamie]

We wanted days where we woke up and we're like, what do you want to do? And, like, just kind of, you know, no schedule, no agenda, especially for the kids. And it was really good for us, like, as a family. I noticed, like, the kids wanted to hang out with us more. We would go out to dinner with them, and they didn't bring their iPads. It was like, good family time.

[Rob]

So other than the excitement of Mississippi, you had a boring summer?

[Jamie]

Yeah, Mississippi was wild.

[Rob]

What goes on in Mississippi?

[Jamie]

Be.

[Rob]

I wouldn't even know.

[Jamie]

There's a lot of space. It's pretty. Really pretty hot. A lot of fried food. You would have a very hard time eating there.

[Rob]

Very difficult.

[Jamie]

Very difficult.

[Rob]

Or do you think I'd find my people, like, when I go other places? No, I wouldn't.

[Jamie]

I don't think you have people in Mississippi, Rob.

[Rob]

Really? Wow.

[Jamie]

I mean, I. I think you'd actually know. You'd have people that are, like, highly entertaining for you.

[Rob]

Yeah, but I need to. I need.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Rob]

I mean, speaking of my food, I. I went to New York. I had the best meal you told me this I ever had in my entire life. It's. It's. So I went there. I had watched, like, videos on it before while I was in Austin on this restaurant. Yeah, okay. And it's called Theodora. And I was watching videos on it. I was like, I have to go to this place. It looks so good. I go the first time I eat. It was like, the best meal I ever had. And I was like, but I have to go again before I leave. So I went back a second time just to make sure. Even better the second time.

[Jamie]

What is the food? Tell me. Tell me about the.

[Rob]

They cook in, like. Can you look up the. Like the oven at Theodora in Brooklyn?

[Jamie]

This is a place that's Very hard to get into, by the way. Okay. You have to know people.

[Rob]

Speaking of that, me and Zolo went to a nice. Me and Zolo went out to eat. We went to a nice dinner in New York. Yeah. Yeah. Like. Like gentlemen.

[Rob]

It was. It was Eugene's place. The corner store.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Oh, wow.

[Jamie]

That's another hard spot to get into.

[Rob]

Yet Zolo said one of the best bites of food he's ever had in his life. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

[Jamie]

What'd you. What'd you get? Wow. Sorry. We're going all over the place.

[Rob]

You'd be. You'd be so proud of me. I ate so much bread and butter pasta. Jamie, listen, not with Zolo. Zolo. I was a little. I was pretty, right? I didn't go craz crazy with you. No. You made me eat most of, like the junkie kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. That's the move for me. But it was incredible. Lobster rolls and caviar.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Eugene and Mark know how to do, like, rich, like, good tasting food. I'm so happy for you guys.

[Rob]

Classy. And then we did like a long New York City walk after. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Was this a date?

[Rob]

It was a date. Yeah. And by the way, it wasn't our first date. Real romantic.

[Jamie]

Good for you.

[Rob]

Yeah, no, it was really good. So at this place, Theodora, if you look on the top left, they cook in this oven that's like this open flame, like crazy. I'm telling you, it's the. Like, multiple plates were the best. And by the way, I have no relation. Like, I've never met anyone. Like, I have places in New York, like we just said, where I have friends. I didn't know a single person here. Nothing. We met them there. They're very nice people. Can you look up Harry Masa? It's like H A R I M. I don't know. Harry Masa. Theodora. Let me see. Jamie. This dish that I had, it's really it. So I. So put it this way. Yeah. So the third. The third one, if you click on this and you could zoom in somehow. Jamie. So I. I told the bar. The second time we sat at the bar and I told the bar because that's. We couldn't get seats. And I told the bartender, I was like, hey, man, this is the best dish I've ever had. And he goes, that's the reason I work here. He was like, I came here, tried that. And I was like, I need to work at this place. Jamie. Whatever. The fuck this is.

[Jamie]

You ate it. Jalapenos and all.

[Rob]

Oh, of course. Yeah. It's nuts. And then. And then they. So then I. I go, hey, can you. They have a bakery attached to it. So the. The bread comes in hot and fresh, and then you. You dip it in. All of a sudden, Jamie. I was. I was in. Yeah, it was a beautiful. By the way.

[Jamie]

No guilt. No guilt.

[Rob]

When you're. No guilt. Three different bread dishes. I was. I was buttering. There's one. I went with my friend Patty. And then Brooke and Heather. And then another time I went with Tony.

[Jamie]

Okay.

[Rob]

Yeah. Can you look up the ricotta toast? Theodora. Yo. Like, when you say ricotta, Jamie. R, I, C, C, O, T. A rigotta toast.

[Jamie]

I got a lot of shit for how I pronounce Italian words, by the way.

[Rob]

Really? Yeah. Oh, Jamie. Jamie, I'm sorry that we're talking about food so much, guys. I know it could be boring. This. I'm getting a little hard thinking, look at the top left, Jamie, when this comes out and the bakery is fucking attached to the place. So it's like. It's like. It's brown. It's brown butter. And then. Honey. Jamie, this knocked me to the floor.

[Jamie]

Is that what that is?

[Rob]

What? Yeah, sure. This is on. We doubled back on this. We were like, yeah, we need. We need to go back. This just. And, guys, that's all I want to say. If you can. If you can get to New York, go to Brooklyn. It was the best meal I've ever had. And if you don't like it, there's something wrong with you. It's not the place.

[Jamie]

Cool.

[Rob]

I know that for a fact. I said to the lady, one of the people was really nice who worked there, and they were like, oh, we listen to the pot. And I was like, do you ever have anyone come in here who doesn't like the food? She was like, no.

[Jamie]

Really?

[Rob]

She's like, we've never had someone come in and not love.

[Jamie]

How long have they been open?

[Rob]

I don't know. Over six months.

[Jamie]

Okay.

[Rob]

But j. Oh, James. This place. And you know what they have that I love? They just have a sink in the hallway so you could just wash your hands.

[Jamie]

Like, you don't have to go in the bathroom.

[Rob]

You don't have to go in the bathroom.

[Jamie]

Wow, that's. But this is your dream, Jamie.

[Rob]

I mean, it was like, they made this place for me. Absolutely beautiful. And I hear the desserts are the best part. And of course, I don't eat dessert. You didn't have dessert, of course, James. My body's a temple. No, no, no. I would not have dessert no matter who I. So, you know, speaking of our guy, who. Who does the Italian sandwiches you got for the way you say anything Italian? Yeah, of course. Well, we're not Italian.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Rob]

So I. Look, I went to preparing for this. I went to go find a video of our guy, and I typed in Italian on YouTube, and the first thing that came up was Italian brain rot videos. I'd never heard of this before. Apparently this is a fucking huge thing.

[Jamie]

It's an epidemic.

[Rob]

You guys have heard of this back there?

[Jamie]

Really?

[Rob]

We're sold.

[Jamie]

We're sold. Yeah, we're sold.

[Rob]

So, Jamie, you gotta see this and then hear how many views this thing has.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Brain rot.

[Rob]

Ballerina cappuccino. Me, me, me, me. Oy, Bo. Burrito. Bondito. Hel. Borito Gangsterito. La vaca Saturno. Saturnita. The French to say tanto bonita.

[Jamie]

What the. It sounds like the names that I call my kids when they're babies.

[Rob]

Yeah, you little. Yeah, that's what it does sound like.

[Jamie]

I called Jack like a kiwi cava.

[Rob]

Yeah. This is like when you're in love. That's all. That's what Italy is, right? It's all.

[Jamie]

I guess.

[Rob]

But.

[Jamie]

But what? The brain rock.

[Rob]

It's a. It's a camel coming out of a refrigerator. There's 20 million views on this.

[Jamie]

Wow.

[Rob]

What is. Can you guys. Do you guys have an explanation of what this is?

[Jamie]

It's like, Italian words that rhyme, I think. And then they made animals out of it. Yeah.

[Rob]

But why.

[Jamie]

Why a ballerina cappuccino?

[Rob]

It is nice to hear, I got to say. But I.

[Jamie]

Was it brain rot? Because your brain's going to rotate watching this?

[Rob]

Because it's so stupid.

[Jamie]

I saw. So Cutter and I last night were, like, looking through YouTube for a minute in bed. I don't know what we were searching for. And that the top of the YouTube search was, like, music video by 69. Like, spelled it out AI. And it's all, like, hot AI. Girls with, like, fake titties bouncing, walking toward you. And him and I, both, for, like, five minutes, were like, what is this? And then I'm like, oh, my God, this is the. That my kids are gonna, like, masturbate, too.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

And it's just terrible.

[Rob]

We just took a quick turn from ballerina cappuccino. We get the little kids masturbating.

[Jamie]

This is the point. Little Bondito bandito.

[Rob]

Yeah. Don't talk about jerking off the little kids. That's horrible, Jamie.

[Jamie]

But what is happening?

[Rob]

I don't like.

[Jamie]

What are these videos? What is happening?

[Rob]

Can you guys find the video she's talking about? What are you talking about?

[Jamie]

It's 69. Spelled out, like 60. 69. I can always ask Cutter. I feel like he's seen it before.

[Rob]

Yeah, I think. I don't think that just pops in your search. Sorry, Cutter. I don't think you go from looking at, like, recipes to, all of a sudden, girls, big titties and. I don't think that happened. Oh, that's sounded like it. Really?

[Jamie]

There it is. Harmonic flow. That's it.

[Rob]

Oh, sick.

[Jamie]

I mean, what is this?

[Rob]

I don't know, but I like it. Let's. Let's get this going. Oh, yeah.

[Jamie]

Between the bread and this, we've. We've lost.

[Rob]

I'm gone. Yeah. My brain is being tickled right now.

[Jamie]

Seriously, like, not knowing that this is fake. You're. You're.

[Rob]

Oh, I don't give a. Yeah. I mean, listen, I don't want to be offensive. We lived in California for a few years. Every broad out there is fake. No. What do you mean? This is what it looks like when you're walking around Air One.

[Jamie]

Oh, my God. They kiss. I didn't get this far. This is. Wow.

[Rob]

So I'm guessing Cutter wasn't the one who said, shut this off. I'm guessing you called that.

[Jamie]

I think so.

[Rob]

And he was like, yeah, totally. You're like, shut this shit off. He's like, yeah. How did this even get on?

[Jamie]

What is this crap?

[Rob]

This was his move. He was pulling a move.

[Jamie]

Oh, well, yeah, it didn't do much for me.

[Rob]

69. I gotta know what you guys are looking up to. How did you land on this?

[Jamie]

You can ask him. What is this, a sea of blood?

[Rob]

Well, we only have. We only have. Whoa. We only have, like, 20 minutes left in this pod. You want to just watch this and chill the devil? Yeah. I mean, it's tough. AI porn is gonna. Because then, I mean, already with porn, it's tough, right? But once you get the AI. But wow, she's. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Okay, you gotta turn this off. I think Rob can continue.

[Rob]

This is Irish brain rot right here. Because I think I gotta go. So in the past, we've had a segment called Jamie says Something Mean. We haven't potted in a. In a few weeks. How do you have anything mean to say to anybody? Has anybody.

[Jamie]

I've been pretty tame.

[Rob]

Has anybody gotten your goat?

[Jamie]

No, I've been pretty tame.

[Rob]

No one's pissed you off, really?

[Jamie]

Yeah. I've been by myself. I've been writing a lot. Like, eight, nine hours a day. So I've been by myself a lot.

[Rob]

Wow. How's that going?

[Jamie]

Good. I'm locked in. Two weeks done.

[Rob]

Really?

[Jamie]

Because I can. I've noticed I'm not an author writer. Like, I am right now.

[Rob]

Everything.

[Jamie]

Jamie, I could never stop tinkering with this thing. You know what I mean? I'll never stop going back and, like, trying to. So at a certain point, I think I have to, like, literally have my laptop beat. I told you, I'm throwing away this laptop when I'm done.

[Rob]

Right.

[Jamie]

Like, it's just. It's also very old. It's like, 12 years old. But, like, I just need to be done with it.

[Rob]

No, there. So there's a lot I, like, was watching this thing. I think I've actually maybe talked about this on here before about, like, how much artists respect chefs because they're like, you put all your time and energy of the. To create this thing. And when most artists are like, if I have a painting, it's out there, and it's living out there on someone's wall. They're like, you put all your time and effort into making this thing. Days before, I'm marinating this thing into this thing. And then you finally get it perfect, you push it out, and 30 seconds later, it's just gone. Or a mess, or somebody's ruining it, or.

[Jamie]

How do you think I feel every Christmas I'm getting.

[Rob]

What do you mean?

[Jamie]

Meaning, like, I work so hard, and then, like, everyone's just. It's just gone. They've moved on with my meal that I make.

[Rob]

Oh, I was. Okay. I was thinking, like, gifts and the kids. Yeah, I was. You lost me on there, which is rare, but.

[Jamie]

Yes, that's so true. And sometimes people don't appreciate it. They eat so fast. They move on. They're not even, like, acknowledging the food that's going in their body.

[Rob]

Right. But. But chefs say, like, it's easier that way. Right? Because chefs are like, I just. I put my. It's gone. And somebody has their opinion, and then, like, they could forget about it in a week where, like, if you have a painting up and it sucks, and let's say so. So chefs will say, like, where I was cooking at a restaurant 10 years ago, I'm so embarrassed of the food I was making. But nobody know, like, I could. I could move on past that. Where if you're an artist and all of A sudden you come out with this like style of art like this. People could be like, yo, look, this guy was doing five years ago.

[Jamie]

Yeah. That's like being an actor.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Judge for all the shit you did.

[Rob]

Right. That's why I never did anything after Sopranos. Sopranos is a great show. Except bad Thoughts. Yeah, well, the two greatest shows of all time. Yeah, that's. That's what they're known as. Hey, guys, you want to know why we're not broke?

[Jamie]

Why?

[Rob]

Well, you know, one of the best pieces of money advice I ever got was don't wait for the perfect moment to start saving or investing. Just start and honestly. Excuse me.

[Jamie]

What? Great advice.

[Rob]

I know. And honestly, that stuck with me because it was such good advice. And good advice is one thing, but actually putting it into practice, well, that's another. That's why I love Acorns. It makes building healthy money habits automatic.

[Jamie]

I don't like the man behind you and his motives coming out of the shadows, not into. I don't trust him for a goddamn second.

[Rob]

I don't like the cigarette in my ear. That's, you know, to look.

[Jamie]

Oh, that hat. You remember that hat? I wore that hat in the early 2000s.

[Rob]

I wore that hat a lot. Yeah, I don't even think it was mine. I think it was like my friends too. And then I just one day put it on and wore it for six months.

[Jamie]

She looks like the bachelorette. Doesn't she look like that girl Rachel? That was the Bachelorette.

[Rob]

That's right. That's who it is. It's Rachel. Yeah, it's me and Rachel Crunk three. So I think what this was. Oh, yeah, I forgot. I see we haven't potted. I forgot that I'm supposed to guess. So what I think this was.

[Jamie]

Okay. Okay.

[Rob]

I think this was a party for an energy drink at butter.

[Jamie]

It looks like butter ceiling. Yeah.

[Rob]

The year is gonna. The year is gonna be tough for Me. I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna guess I'm five.

[Jamie]

Six.

[Rob]

Six years old. Yeah. I'm a little bandito. Bandito. I'm Gonna guess it's 2005. Five, if I had to guess. A Crunk Energy. Oh, it was Little John's energy drink. That's what it was. I don't know if I said that. And it was at Butter. What do we. How close?

[Jamie]

So close. 2004. But everything else was. Right. Wow.

[Rob]

Okay. Yeah. Are there other pictures from that party that we could find other pictures of me with Little John?

[Jamie]

What's the noise he used to make? I don't want to.

[Rob]

Yeah, I don't want to do it.

[Jamie]

Yeah, there it is.

[Rob]

There you go. Thank you. Thank you for doing that. And maybe throw in a what? And a. Okay. Because that's also what he said.

[Jamie]

What? Yeah, there you go. Oh, I forgot we have the famous impersonator.

[Rob]

Yeah, that's right. Oh, here's. There's another one of me on the left.

[Jamie]

Oh, with another girl.

[Rob]

How dare you, Jamie.

[Jamie]

So many girls. No, there was other girl.

[Rob]

I'm loyal.

[Jamie]

No, there's another girl.

[Rob]

All right.

[Jamie]

Wow, Rob, you were really the. You were the main attraction at this crunk 3 party. I love it.

[Rob]

I got what they call the Asian.

[Jamie]

Did they pay. They paid you to go there, I hope.

[Rob]

No, I wasn't paid. I just show. I just was showing you drinks. You know what's weird? Not that this place ever offered me money to, like, go do stuff, but I used to get offered to go to, like, parties or host a thing in this, and then I would get drunk and leave. Like. Or, like, I would get drunk and be like, I don't want to be here, or whatever. So, like, I started just, like, never accepting those things because I. I would. I would be wasted, and it would be like, you have to stay here for another four hours. I'd be like you. And I would, like, be, like, angry, you know, So I would just.

[Jamie]

That was the easiest money to make back.

[Rob]

No, listen, I did it a few once. I got, like. You know, I stopped drinking for a little bit there, and, like, I did it. I did a few with you and whatever. Yeah, it's cool. Whatever. But, like, again, I just didn't like. To me, partying was partying. And then. Yeah, there's a separate thing when somebody's like, hey, here's money. Now you have to be in this space for three hours.

[Jamie]

Zoo animal.

[Rob]

I'm a zoo. Yeah. And I am. I was a zoo animal. Back then, I needed. I needed my freed. You know what I mean?

[Jamie]

Yes. You need to be let back out into the wild.

[Rob]

Yes. A big congratulations is in order. I don't know. Abby and Josh were seen out in public with their newborn for the first time. Do you know who Abby and Josh are? Oh, can you show young Jamie Lee who Abby and Josh are? So this Abby, I believe, is the one on the left, and she married her husband Josh, and then they were finally. This is. They got married a while ago, and they finally were seen out with their newborn. There's a big, big congratulations.

[Jamie]

I don't know where this is going.

[Rob]

Well, I'm sure you could imagine they. Are he married two? Well, no, he only. See, that's what. This is where. This is where it's going.

[Jamie]

Okay.

[Rob]

He only married the one on the left. And now since the one on the right, they're conjoined twins, I believe is how you call that. And so the one on the right, after watching all this and seeing her sister have a baby and this, now she wants to get married and have a baby.

[Jamie]

They don't share the same.

[Rob]

They share the same body.

[Jamie]

Torso.

[Rob]

Yeah. It's not a vagina, yo. Same. Yeah. Can you show other photos of them? Yeah. So that's why I thought, like, again, so this is. This is the topic of conversation of where does all of this.

[Jamie]

So now I'm so happy for them, first of all.

[Rob]

That's why I gave them a round of applause.

[Jamie]

Awesome.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

I cannot imagine what that is like.

[Rob]

And what. Sorry, it's Abby's on the left and who's on the right?

[Narrator/Expert]

Britney.

[Rob]

Brittany. Right. So it's a show.

[Jamie]

Do they have a show? I think maybe TLC show.

[Rob]

Yeah. So. So. But so now Britney wants to get married and she wants to have her own kid. And this. And here.

[Jamie]

I don't understand. So, like, when the other two are. Are connecting, she's like, by like, I'm not here.

[Rob]

She's basically doing what you wish you could do while you. And cut her. Connecting. Yeah, she's just out to lunch. She's doing something else, you know, not paying any attention. She's pretending like it's not happening here. So here's. Here's that. That is a great question. That's what I want to know, too. Like, what does she do when they're.

[Jamie]

I'm so, so curious about so many things.

[Rob]

Making love. But this is what I really start to think. Right. Is like, so now the right one. Britney wants to have a. And by the Way for those who are just listening, they're. They're conjoined twins where they have two heads, one body. So if she. The girl on the right. Britney, now wants to have. Get married and have a kid. So let's say she gets married and now she's about to. It's time for her to get pregnant. Does that mean this guy can't jizz and his wife.

[Jamie]

But you said they share a vagina.

[Rob]

Right? So I'm saying this guy who's married to Abby can't jizz and his wife. If Britney's trying to have a kid.

[Jamie]

Right, right.

[Rob]

With her husband.

[Jamie]

Right.

[Rob]

Because then what if it turns out to be this guy's. It's Josh. What if it turns out to be Josh's.

[Jamie]

Right. Kid. This is. Right.

[Rob]

So I'm just saying, how do you deal with it as a man going, I married this woman and now I can't jizz in her.

[Jamie]

You got to talk to Josh. I don't know. Can we.

[Rob]

Can we talk to Josh? Is that possible? I mean, yeah, I would love. If we could do. I don't know if Josh wants to answer these kind of questions, but if he does, I would love to get Josh on the phone one day. If we could look into that, guys, that would be a dream. That would be a dream booking.

[Jamie]

We'll look into it.

[Rob]

Thank you. Yeah, I would love to know. And also, listen, we're not going to get him on if he doesn't want to answer. Like, we have some questions that are probably curious.

[Jamie]

Genuinely, this is not any. We are not like, yeah, this is not coming from a bad place. Yeah, I think it's wonderful.

[Rob]

Of course. And you want to educate other people out there who might marry someone. Yeah, yeah, no, of course. Yeah. I had a lot of questions. Let me see. Here's. Here's some of the ones I wrote down. Right. For Josh for Note also. But also for them. For Josh, everybody. So now who decides? Because, like, like, let's say somebody like me, right? I like to eat very clean. I like to be very healthy. Then you have. I have other friends when I was in New York. They don't give a fuck. They're smoking cigarettes still. They're fucking hanging out in this. What if I'm the head on the left and I go, hey, no more cigarettes, and the one on the right goes off?

[Jamie]

This has been a lifetime of this for them. They have to have their routine down. They've got to have it. This is a show. Clearly. If there's so many interviews and stuff.

[Rob]

Well, I think people want to talk to them even if they don't have a show.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I mean, this is their whole lives. They've had to decide everything together. My gosh.

[Rob]

Okay, here's my question, right? Let's say. Let's say they're at a party, and one of them is really enjoying themselves. And the other one goes, I want to leave. And the one on the left goes, I'm getting out of here. And starts to leave. And the one on the right goes, no, I'm staying. What happens? What is the. Does the body leave or does the body stay? Let's say. Let's say they're taking a test, right?

[Jamie]

Well, I wonder if one only has control over one half of the body and the other, like. Like.

[Rob]

So they just start spinning in a circle.

[Jamie]

No. Meaning. I don't know. Like, do their brains have. Because if. I don't know, I don't know.

[Rob]

I'm saying no, Rob, I'm dying to know if you. Let's say. Let's say they're taking a test. I hear this makes more sense, Right.

[Jamie]

I don't think that they're in these positions that you're. These hypothetical positions, though.

[Rob]

You're telling me in 20 years, one of. They always wanted to be in the same spot. You're telling me in 20 years of being attached to somebody, you wouldn't go, hey, I'm having a good time. And the other one go, I'm having a bad time. What if one likes scary movies and the other one doesn't. How dare you say that in 20 years, they have not been in a position where one of them wanted to leave.

[Jamie]

Okay, okay. I'm not saying that necessarily. I. I was thinking more like them in a nightclub.

[Rob]

Oh, let's say they're anywhere. Let's say they're. They're in a room and they see somebody walk by who. It's their.

[Jamie]

Her.

[Rob]

I don't know. But if one of them goes, hey, I'm leaving. I got to go somewhere, and the other one goes, you know what? I just don't have it in me. I'm staying put. What does the body do because of what you're saying? Right and left. Oh, here we go. What do we got? Can somebody read that to us, please?

[Jamie]

They had a TLC show in 2012.

[Rob]

Oh, so they were kids then.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I think they were. No, they were 22.

[Rob]

Oh, okay.

[Jamie]

Oh, yeah.

[Rob]

22 and 22 year olds as they began their lives in the world. Began their lives.

[Jamie]

I'm so curious about this.

[Rob]

You might. Should we watch this?

[Jamie]

Jamie, I would like to do.

[Rob]

Each of the heads controls half of the body. So one head controls one arm, one leg, and the other. This is this. Then they do if one of them says, I'm out of here, and the other one says, I'm staying. Or if one wants. Let's say there's a fork in the road, right? They're walking on a trail. There's a fork in the road. One goes one way, goes left, one way goes right. And the one goes, hey, I'm feeling bad about that. And one wants to go left and one wants to go right. What happens? That's what I need to know. Does the body just stay still? Does it start even worse?

[Jamie]

Okay, maybe not worse. Even crazier.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

They drive. So what if one wants to turn and one's like, no, we're not turning.

[Rob]

It's all right. Coordination.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I mean, look, they have to have some, like, wonderful, harmonious, like, way to navigate the world together that we just can't understand, you know, we'll never be able to understand how they. I feel like their bot. Their brains must communicate with each other.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

You know what I mean? Sure.

[Rob]

Yeah. Or maybe not. Maybe they're so. By the way, God forbid. We love Brittany and Abby. But what happens if one of them got, like, Alzheimer's and the other one was chilling? What happens if one of them is like, I want to try coke for the first time and is in the fucking club of a bathroom, and then the other one, like, bangs are heading to the wall? I don't know. Like, you know, like, there's just so much that I want to know everything. Yeah, I guess you got to watch.

[Jamie]

The show different than yours.

[Rob]

Are you. Do you have, like, lady questions?

[Jamie]

Like, I just wouldn't be thinking about, like, who. What if you want to do a line of blow and you. The other one does it?

[Rob]

What are you. Where do you go?

[Jamie]

I think sex, for sure.

[Rob]

I went there first.

[Jamie]

Attraction. Like a relationship, like a marriage. Yeah, that's my first one. Like, how do you. Eve driving? Like, I think all, like, just how they're able to communicate with each other and the body that they share.

[Rob]

Right. And also. Yeah, like you said, attraction. Right. Like, if she wants to marry someone who the other one's not attracted to, it's like, oh, you have to be.

[Jamie]

Like, you gotta be around this guy.

[Rob]

And then also if she. Control. Okay, here you go. If she's not attracted to the one that the other one marries. But she controls the left arm. Is she only touching that guy with the right arm? I don't know. Anybody. Anybody want to chime in on how they think this.

[Jamie]

Rob, we're just back from summer vacation. This is too much.

[Rob]

No, I. This. I. I think it's endless. The questions are, well, look, they both.

[Jamie]

Look thrilled at the wedding, so I think that whoever didn't marry him likes him.

[Rob]

Yeah. Or do you put on a happy face? Look, here's the. Here's the dance. Here's the first dance. It's beautiful. Or. But see, here's the thing, right? If. Let's say I. I have many brothers. If I was attached to my brother's neck, I would smile at his wedding, even if I didn't like the person just for him. Of course, that's what you do. So. Yeah, I don't know. Well, okay, what happens the first time where the husband is fighting with Abby? And Abby goes, no, you're wrong. And the husband goes, no, I'm right. And Brittany goes, hey, he's got a point, right? And it's like. And she's like, oh, right. Like, how dare you?

[Jamie]

Yeah, I have an anatomy video.

[Rob]

I thought you were gonna say, I have an announcement. I was like, oh, my God. What is it? They're on their way here. They just got in an Uber. Okay, what you have, you have. Okay, here we go. We got an explanation. What do we got?

[Narrator/Expert]

Abby and Brittany Hensel's anatomy is a remarkable blend of shared and individual organs and tissues. The twins each have their own distinct upper body systems. Abby and Britney have two heads, two brains, two spinal cords, and two hearts, which are part of a shared circulatory system. Each heart pumps blood through the same system, meaning the actions of one can directly affect the other. Despite sharing blood circulation, their individual brains and spinal cords function independently from each other, coordinating movements for their respective sides of the body. Abby and Britney each control the arm on their respective side. Abby manages the right arm, while Britney controls the left. This division of control extends to their legs as well, with Abby controlling the right leg and Brittany controlling the left. Despite this division, their movements are highly coordinated for activities requiring both arms, such as holding objects, typing on a keyboard, or steering a car. They rely on constant cooperation and communication. They are able to perform these tasks smoothly thanks to the remarkable synchronization between their two brains and nervous systems. Their skeletal systems include two separate spines that join at the pelvis, maintaining their independent neurological functions. Each twin also has two lungs, making for a total of four, while their medial Lungs are fused to some degree. The outer lungs operate independently. Abby and Brittany have two stomachs, allowing each twin to digest food separately.

[Jamie]

Whoa.

[Narrator/Expert]

Their sense of hunger or satiety is unique to each twin, as the brains controlling the stomachs are independent. Abby and Brittany each have their own esophagus, which leads to their respective stomachs. This is part of their distinct upper digestive systems, since they each control one side of their body and have separate stomach stomachs. The food each twin swallows travels down her own esophagus and into her own stomach, ensuring that their digestive systems function independently in the upper body. Although Abby and Britney each control their own side of the body, they experience stomach pain differently. When one twin has stomach pain, the discomfort is felt on the opposite side of the shared body.

[Rob]

Whoa.

[Narrator/Expert]

The twins share one lip.

[Rob]

She's okay. You're giving me odds of that.

[Narrator/Expert]

Elongated and enlarged bodies. They have a single small intestine, which splits into two spastic peristalsis patterns to accommodate their dual physiology. W. Similarly, they share one large intestine, one bladder, and one set of reproductive organs. Their shared pelvis houses these lower organs and is slightly broader than average to accommodate both individuals. In terms of kidneys, the twins have a total of three. Abby has one on her side, while Britney has two. This is a unique adaptation that allows for efficient filtration and waste removal. Despite the shared urinary system.

[Jamie]

Very regular.

[Narrator/Expert]

Their gallbladders are also individual, with two present. How much longer bile storage for digestion?

[Rob]

I could watch the whole thing, but.

[Jamie]

I know I feel like I'm in school.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

A minute 30.

[Rob]

All right, let's. Let's. Let's keep it going. Just. Just in case. They say what happens if one wants to run one way?

[Narrator/Expert]

Their skeletal system includes one rib cage, but it is widened and contains traces of fused and separate ribs to support both upper bodies. The surgical removal of the rudimentary third arm at birth left behind an additional shoulder blade. Reproductive and urinary anatomy is fully shared. They have one uterus, one birth canal, and one urethra. These organs function to serve the needs of both twins, though their control over these systems is shared and likely cooperative. Overall, Abby and Britney's unique anatomy can be summarized as two heads, two spines merging at the coccyx, two brains, and the spinal cords. All right, two hearts, one.

[Rob]

We don't need this summary. Maybe. Maybe I think we should leave all that and maybe put in the thing. Like, hey, if you want to fast forward, here's where that ends, because I think some People need to hear that.

[Jamie]

Yeah, it's fascinating.

[Rob]

I think it's. And I'm so proud of us for going from the trash you bring into this show, which is the 69 naked ladies, into the college level education that I try and bring our listeners.

[Jamie]

I will. We. I have a quiz for you now on that video we just watched. Get out your number two pencil.

[Rob]

I'm sick of the filth you bring to this podcast, Jamie.

[Jamie]

I'll clean it up. Yeah, but listen, I'm think so. When they both have.

[Rob]

So when they.

[Jamie]

These are some of the comments you requested. Yes, I asked for America Ferrara. Clean it up.

[Rob]

I think the whole country just wants to know what.

[Jamie]

Listen, they were born this way. They know no other way of living. You know what I mean?

[Rob]

So here, Jamie, read this. Read this.

[Jamie]

Oh.

[Rob]

Wait. What? I can't hear you.

[Jamie]

I don't want to read it. I don't want to read it.

[Rob]

Okay, well, I said. I said, can you guys pull some comments from their social media? Because I don't have social media to look. So I didn't ask for these specifically, but these were what was given to us. This one says, dude can get head and nuts licked at the same time. Bro gets to have a 1.5 some every night. Sweet. Wow. I think it's a 2.5.

[Jamie]

Yeah, Uncle Baby Billy.

[Rob]

Yeah, uncle baby Billy. That's like Frito Bandito. All right, do we have more? I. I love these.

[Jamie]

It's a good question.

[Rob]

Oh, I thought that was the same one. Do they both have to pay taxes or just one. See, we. We go and we go education. Y. I love it. Pay taxes or just one. If one of them gets fired, do they both get fired or can the other one still work? Man, we gotta get Josh on here.

[Jamie]

This. It's. It's truly fascinating.

[Rob]

Could you imagine one of them being like, you're a freeloader. Like, you don't work like, to the other one.

[Jamie]

I mean, of course I can imagine it. Yeah.

[Rob]

Wow. Oh, man. This is. I mean, I could just. I. I could do the next 12 episodes.

[Jamie]

I know you.

[Rob]

Yeah. Okay, here's my. Here's my question. Now, what would be your biggest issue, do you think if you had someone living on your neck?

[Jamie]

I like to be alone all the time. You know, I'm like a big loner. Like.

[Rob]

Well, that's good for your family of four.

[Jamie]

No, but meaning I carve out that time for myself.

[Rob]

I'm kidding. So, yeah, not getting. Not getting any alone time, man. I think.

[Jamie]

What about yours? Be.

[Rob]

I mean, I'm very sleep and diet focused. Right.

[Jamie]

But again, this is so. This when you were born this way and you know no other way to exist, you don't have a problem with it.

[Rob]

Yeah, because what do you.

[Jamie]

What? There's no different. You don't know any different. Obviously if somebody. All of a sudden. We were conjoined today after not living that way, everything would.

[Rob]

Could you imagine if the other head snores? That would be tough.

[Jamie]

What do you mean? I deal with that every night with Cutter.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

You just figure it out.

[Rob]

But again, at least you. If you. Let's say you had work the next day or whatever, you could be like, you know what? One of us is going into the other room. Of course there they camp. Nothing they could do.

[Jamie]

They can't.

[Rob]

Wow. It's incredible. It's. It's fascinating. I would love to know what the dinner conversations are like. Like, what are we eating tonight? It's like, I want to go here. I want to go here.

[Jamie]

You know, I don't think they even have to. I feel like they can speak telepathically. I feel like they can have the same like thought together.

[Rob]

Well, there's the. There's your question for them. Can you guys speak telepathically?

[Jamie]

That's what it is. I want to. I'm so interested in the. The level of communication that they have that's so beyond anything we would ever even know.

[Rob]

Yeah, well, we. We congratulated them.

[Jamie]

Yes.

[Rob]

Now it's my turn to congratulate you. I found out a very interesting fact that I think you're going to be really excited about. So, you know you share a middle name with some celebrities.

[Jamie]

Lynn.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Rob]

Right. There's a.

[Jamie]

It's a lot of Lynn. It's like a very common middle name.

[Rob]

Right. But I bet there's one that you don't know. You share a middle name with Jeff Goldblum.

[Jamie]

He's a. Lynn.

[Rob]

Jeff Lynn Goldblum. I don't know why he didn't go with the Jamie Lynn.

[Jamie]

Right style.

[Rob]

Jeff Lynn Goldblum.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Rob]

I think he. I think he missed an opportunity there. I think maybe you should have. Maybe your manager should have a chat with him and be like, hey, I think you could have done your Jeff Lynn. Yeah. Jeffy Lynn. If I'm ever. If I ever can't make it, I'm.

[Jamie]

Never gonna not be able to think of that every time I see him now.

[Rob]

Yeah. If I ever can't make it to a pod one day, it should be Jamie Lynn and Jeffy Lynn.

[Jamie]

Two jails. Love it.

[Rob]

Yeah. I think you guys would crush a pod.

[Jamie]

I would crush anything with Jeff Lynn Goldblum.

[Rob]

Yeah. Jeff Lynn. Shout out to Jeff Lynn. Shout out to Jeff Lynn Goldblum.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Rob]

By the way, you got me amped up last night to P.O.D. you remember? Yeah. You were texting. We were texting about making fun of somebody as usual, and you said, we. You said something that made me laugh and you were like, now we're potting.

[Jamie]

Because I said if a picture of someone witty, hit it. And you like that. I said, hit it.

[Rob]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were like, oh, maybe he'll hit it. Instead of being like, maybe. Yeah, whatever. You were like, yeah, maybe he'll hit it. And I started laughing. You were like, now we're potting. And I was like, oh, I'm.
