James
Potential savings will vary. Not available in all states or situations.
Jamie
Not today. Like one of those.
Rob Eiler
I don't like the nozzle thing.
Jamie
You can just get it with regular.
Rob Eiler
Oh, well, here we are. Yeah.
Jamie
Just talking about water bottles.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. Because I need a smaller one than that for some. For some things.
Jamie
Reusable water bottles.
Rob Eiler
So here's. We talked about doing this like a year ago and I hit you up the other day and I was like, we need to do this. Which is the secret box. So show. Show people what you made. Amy Lee.
Jamie
You told me to get crafty.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. I was like, I know you like a little project sometime. So here's. Here's our. It says, tell us your secrets, Rob and Yami. And it's a box that Jamie's created. So, guys, what we're going to do, we're going to put this out where you walk into YMH out in the office. We're gonna cut. So we got to figure out, James, how to. We gotta cut like a hole somewhere in here.
Jamie
There's a perfect little hole.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, but that. Doesn't that feel like people could. Then take it? I guess we gotta like, you tape.
Jamie
This down and people fold their paper and put it.
Rob Eiler
I feel like people be worried about somebody taking their secrets out of there if we're doing.
Jamie
I think it's a pretty trustworthy environment here.
James
No, you think incorrectly.
Rob Eiler
No way.
Jamie
You think very well for the sake of the show.
Rob Eiler
So here's what we do.
Jamie
Maybe they would be respectful.
Rob Eiler
Maybe we make.
Jamie
Should I write be respectful here?
Rob Eiler
Ye. They'll listen to that.
Chad
That'll encourage it. The other direction.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. Here, Jamie, I think we take like paper or something and put it up to here and then people slip the thing in there.
Jamie
Okay.
Rob Eiler
So that it's just covered. Right. So here's what we're going to try. But this is going to take class participation, guys, if this is going to work. So what we're going to do is we're going to put this in the front of ymh. I'm going to put a secret in. Yami's going to put a secret in, and then we're going to trust that other people are going to put secrets in. You don't have to put your name on it. You don't have to reveal if it was you. But then next week or in the upcoming weeks, we're gonna open them and we're gonna read people's secrets on the air. And then if they want to come forward, they can. If they don't, you just. You never say anything. How do we feel about this in there, guys?
Chad
I'm okay with it. I just, I'm not convinced it's not gonna go sideways somehow.
Jamie
What do you mean go sideways? Like what. When. What way could it go sideways?
Chad
Joker's here, you know, putting in fake secrets and putting someone else's name on them. Random. I don't know.
Jamie
Well, yeah, don't put your name. We're not gonna read one.
Rob Eiler
Here's what we'll do to stop the antics. We won' if we. If we see it's. If we see it's of somebody else's name or if it's a fit. Will, here's the thing. We will not accept any names on the secrets. How's that? And then if, even then, though, you.
James
Can put a secret that sounds like it's somebody else's.
Jamie
Right?
James
You know, and then if we're not going to deny that or something, it's.
Jamie
Like maybe we just need to put it in the booth.
Chad
I mean, I'm not gonna.
Jamie
If the hooligans interns are going to fuck it with then no.
Rob Eiler
Oh, here's what we'll do. We'll trust. We'll trust the people. We'll put it out there and we'll see what happens.
Jamie
That's how I like to live my life.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, but, but listen, know that, you know, we know what we'd like with this. Jamie, very sincere.
Jamie
I worked hard on this.
Chad
Yeah, I think if you told the studio like I worked hard on this.
Jamie
Okay. Do you want me to make a. Make a video?
Rob Eiler
You're right. No one listens to me. White people are done. Go ahead, Jen.
Jamie
Please be respectful. We have a mission with this. We have a purpose with this.
Rob Eiler
Hold it a little higher.
Jamie
I care about you all here. This is a way for you to release shame.
Rob Eiler
Yes.
Jamie
This is a way for you to release demons. We're looking to heal people here. Your secrets are safe with me.
Rob Eiler
There you go. Right there. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. So guys, listen, I'm going to be. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to put a fucked up secret in here.
Jamie
And I put, by the way, you know what I did? I used one of the worst photos ever taken of the Two of us. We. We. We look not great here. Yeah, right.
Rob Eiler
I have a feeling there's going to be glasses and mustaches drawn on us by next week.
Jamie
But that's fine because we. We. We share all our secrets here. We. We.
Rob Eiler
Our.
Jamie
Our flawed selves.
Rob Eiler
It's time for the office to help us out and share some of yours. That's what we're doing.
Jamie
Join us.
Rob Eiler
We. We've put so many of our secrets out there.
Jamie
To the other side.
Rob Eiler
We need some of yours to. To Nobody's.
Jamie
Perfect.
Chad
I'm in.
Jamie
I love it. Of course you are, Chad. I knew you'd be. Thank you.
Rob Eiler
Any.
James
What's up?
Rob Eiler
You could just stay. You could just stay out of it.
Chad
Any.
Rob Eiler
Any. Any. Doesn't any. And he doesn't agree with the whole secret box, you know. You know why? Because when I talk to any about the secret box, he's like, I can't put that. That I would put in there. In there. It's like, you don't have to go with the 10 secret.
James
That's not what I said.
Rob Eiler
You were like, well, do you want me to say what you actually said? Because that's what it got it taken out last time.
James
I can't say what I said exactly.
Rob Eiler
So I'm trying to paraphrase.
James
Well, no, you can't say that I said something I didn't say. I'm not cool with that.
Rob Eiler
This guy's the worst. The absolute worst. It's just unreal.
Jamie
We just. We know now the window of when to catch any to. Right.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. Get. Get drunk and then you're somewhat friendly post work pre is you're tolerable when you're drunk.
James
It's true.
Rob Eiler
I was staying. I don't. I forget if we talked about this last week. If we did, I apologize. I just don't remember if he brought it up or not. I was staying at a friend's place for a while and the garbage gets picked up once a week.
Jamie
Yeah. Every Friday at my house.
Rob Eiler
I was like, it's supposed to be twice a week. I always thought it was twice a week. Well, okay. So let's say you eat fucking chicken on Saturday. You throw out raw chicken. That shit is sitting out there for six days.
Jamie
Yep.
Rob Eiler
That's not okay. That's insane.
Jamie
It's outside my house, but that's gonna.
Rob Eiler
Cause fucking raccoons and crazy.
Jamie
We've been all right.
Rob Eiler
I don't know how if I leave. If I make chicken at night when I wake up in the morning, if it's in My garbage can. It smells like death in my apartment.
Jamie
How much chicken are you throwing away?
Rob Eiler
Well, you know, I eat 10 pounds of it a day, so.
Jamie
What are you talking about? What are you throwing away? The fat? Yeah.
Rob Eiler
Like if I'm, you know, if I'm making thighs or whatever, like I'm. I'm cutting off pieces that look.
Jamie
Yeah. But it's like, tight. Well, here's what I do. When I throw away, like meat or like my dog's food, I put it in its own little. Like I'll take an old grocery bag or whatever and I'll tie it tight in there and then put that in the garbage bag. So it's like double wrapped.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, because there's a lot of our. There's. Because I looked this up online, there's a lot of argument. A lot of people are. Yes. Two times a week people.
Jamie
I honestly think I grew up in New York having it be twice a week.
Rob Eiler
Of course, I do remember that they're doing. Yeah. Out here in Texas. I was in Cali once a week. Are you guys all once a week where you live?
Chad
Well, New York piles their trash on the streets.
Rob Eiler
Exactly.
Jamie
Oh, yeah. But even on Long island, where I grew up, it was very, you know, suburban, but it was like, I have.
Chad
A dumpster in our parking lot and like, I just take it out when I go with my car leave or whatever. So they tried getting. They got us valet trash.
Rob Eiler
That's the worst.
Chad
I don't need to fucking.
Jamie
What is valet trash?
Chad
Schedule it. I'm just stupid.
Jamie
Like, a man comes and just takes your trash out.
James
It's. It's so stupid. It sounded so cool. Where they're like, yeah, every week, or maybe every. I think two, three. Two or three days a week, they'll come pick up your trash and they'll just throw it away for you. You don't even have to go to the dumpster.
Rob Eiler
You leave it outside your door.
James
Yeah. I'm like, yo, that's sick. And then you realize real quick that a lot of days you're gonna have like two bags of trash. And they're like, nah, only one fam. We can't do two. And it's like, what? So I have to take. Well, then what the fuck is the point of this shit?
Chad
And your trash just sits outside your everyone's door and. Yeah, so I don't even.
James
Sometimes they don't even come and get it. Exactly. Sometimes they just have the day off or some. Now you got like 12 bags sitting in front of your.
Jamie
Yeah. And and you. I. That's something where, like, you have the expectation and when it's not fulfilled, that's like a real. That could set your whole day off.
James
Especially because you pay for it.
Jamie
That's, of course, put in your rent. Of course.
Rob Eiler
My friend's garbage got picked up every Thursday and by like, you know, I don't know, Monday the garbage was full.
Jamie
Well, yeah, look, ours gets picked up on Friday. And the truth is by Monday I've got a fuck ton of garbage from the weekend.
Rob Eiler
This is what I'm saying.
Jamie
But we have a dump in our neighborhood that you could go to if, like, you needing to throw it away.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, yeah. Okay. I feel like we have not done memory lane in a very long time. Can we get a memory lane going up in here, please?
Jamie
Oh, wow.
Rob Eiler
But that's me and James on a boat. So me and AJ And Tony Soprano on a boat. He looks young.
Jamie
Wow, you really look like father son there.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, he looks.
Jamie
He's so young there. His hair is dark and thick. That was season two.
Rob Eiler
That'd be my guess. Yeah. And we're on the Stugotz.
Jamie
Was the episode called Stugarts?
Rob Eiler
Wow. If you got that, that's amazing because I don't know.
James
That says it's the tenth episode, season two. It says bust out, but let me.
Jamie
Well, that's.
Rob Eiler
I didn't even know there was an episode called bust out.
Jamie
Do you remember shooting that day?
Rob Eiler
You know, I. We did this kind of thing, like going out on the boat, me and him, like three times. They all kind of blend together. So I don't know that I remember that one, but I remember, like going out on.
Jamie
Do you enjoy being out on the. Like, was there a limited cre on the boat? Just like.
Rob Eiler
Yeah.
Jamie
And then they have another boat, right?
Rob Eiler
You know, there's another boat with everybody else on.
Jamie
And where would you guys go?
Rob Eiler
I don't know, somewhere in Jersey. But I remember like one of these days, they were like, oh, we want, like, as if it's a picture from the day. So they made me hold like a three foot long fish. Fish that was like a giant fish. And I held them by the tail and they were like, no, you're supposed to hold them like inside the gill. And I was like, I'm not putting my hand inside this fish. Like, where's this fish been when you.
Jamie
I feel like people are always holding it.
Rob Eiler
Like, that's what I said. I'm like, this is how people hold a fish.
Jamie
And you're supposed to hold it like across Your body.
James
I think that's when it's dead. When you hold it on the tail. Right. I thought you hold it.
Rob Eiler
It was dead.
Jamie
Oh, when it's still alive.
James
I don't think.
Jamie
Well, they were trying to make it cooler.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. It was, like, frozen.
Jamie
Well, right, but they weren't saying that it was. They were probably trying to make it like you had just caught it type of thing.
Rob Eiler
But I know, like, that's a thing with fishing. Like, if you look at, like, fishing competitions when, like, the winner, like, he's. He's. His hand is inside the fish's gill, you know that.
Jamie
I think that's, like, one thing that you'll never probably see me really lean into in this lifetime is fishing.
Rob Eiler
Fishing. Well, have you gone?
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
And what you did, just not your thing? No, My dad gets violently seasick. Like, violently. Like, he.
Jamie
Do you.
Rob Eiler
No, not at all.
Jamie
You don't get seasick at all?
Rob Eiler
No. He took.
Jamie
I could see you getting, like, wearing those bracelets like that. You'd be, like, sensitive to that.
Rob Eiler
See, I never get any sort of, like, sickness. My stomach is pretty even.
Jamie
Like, rides, like, roller coasters and stuff. Nothing. How. When's the last time you've been okay.
Rob Eiler
Of the fucking. Yeah.
Jamie
I used to love them. And I will say, post Disney, I was like, I'm old. Like, I'm not enjoying this as much anymore. I would get nauseous.
Rob Eiler
Oh, you just get sick.
Jamie
Like, I loved Guardians of the Galaxy. That roller coaster, the new one at Epcot. It's so fucking good. It's so smooth. It's so cool. But I was so. I was borderline going to vomit when I got off.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, I don't like things where your head whips around.
Jamie
It wasn't too whippy either. It was just. I don't know. What I did love there, though, was Tron. You're like. Have any of you guys been on it where you're, like, riding, like, a motorcycle?
James
I've seen it.
Jamie
You're.
James
You're with a bunch of people.
Jamie
Yes.
James
Right, okay.
Jamie
Yeah. I just saw they had footage of Jalen Hurts doing it the other day after the super bowl. But that one, I didn't get nauseous because you're, like, bent over kind of like, I don't know, riding the motorcycle.
Rob Eiler
Cutter must have loved that, huh?
Jamie
He went on it, like, four times.
Rob Eiler
I meant seeing you bent over.
Jamie
Oh, well, you know, it's always what he's looking for. That's for free. Anytime he wants.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, not anytime.
James
Is that enough?
Jamie
Is that enough. He's modeling for Disney Rides now.
James
Yeah, I think it's way too happy though. He's too excited.
Jamie
It's a good ride. But yeah, I'm. I can't enjoy them the way I used to, which sucks.
Rob Eiler
Do your kids love them? Love Cutter loves them.
Jamie
Jack, though, he, he's like, he'll say to everybody, like, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. Like, mom, I'll ride with you. And then as soon as we got on, he's like, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this. I hate this. The whole time I was like holding his head in my hands when we were on the ride. And then when he gets off, he's like, that was awesome. He's just like, care so much what people think. But still, he just made the height to go on these rides. So, you know.
Rob Eiler
Yeah.
Jamie

Rob Eiler
So when we were. This is a little shooting back, but when me and Cutter won a bet for. On the Super Bowl.
Jamie
Oh, yeah. We didn't talk about this.
Rob Eiler
We never talked about it.
Jamie
Wait, we need to talk about.
Rob Eiler
And Bo came up to me and was like, yeah, Rob. Like, that boy. You know what? He called me for the first time the other day, Rob Hyler. He was like, hey, Rob Eiler. I was like, what? Where's this coming? But he's like, hey, Rob. And he gives me like a pound. And he gives me a hug, and he's like, great job. And then, like, I. I went over because, like, Jack was right there. And then I went like, oh, like, now I'm going to get a hug from Jack. And not only did I not get a hug from Jack when he turned around covered in snot. Just absolutely.
Jamie
That's 80% of his hair.
Rob Eiler
And he has no idea.
Jamie
He doesn't wipe it. It's so weird.
Rob Eiler
It's cr. Like, it would be debilitating. Like, there's nothing you could do and function if you had that much snot on your face. And he's just chilling.
Jamie
Did I talk about the booger? The bus booger on here?
Rob Eiler
No. Can you. That's amazing. I didn't know that you'd be willing to talk about that.
Jamie
Well, I'll loosely talk about it.
Rob Eiler
Oh, this is the best.
Jamie
I got a text from a mom that my son put a booger on her kid's head, and she sent me a photo of the booger on his head.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. And here's. Here's the.
Jamie
And when I looked at the photo, I was like, that looks like Jack's booger.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. And. And here's what I gotta say. Here's the. I don't know what the word is. Discrepancy about the whole thing. Here's the thing her son claims he flicked the booger. When you look at this booger, this is clearly slimy. He wiped it on him and it, like, streaked. There is 0% chance he flick this booger.
Jamie
No, I don't believe him. I never believe.
Rob Eiler
And it's like, on the side of the kid's head. It is, yeah.
Chad
Wait, so the kid just kept it on his head until.
Rob Eiler
That's what I said.
Chad
Could take a picture.
Jamie
Yeah, I guess.
Chad
Whoa.
Rob Eiler
That's what I said.
James
And it was like an inside job. This whole story is up.
Jamie
Well, but that's what. That's what I mean. Yes, I know it. There. There's a lot to unpack here. But just the moral of it is that Jack has enormous boogers that like, you know the kind. Sorry. To anybody that's grossed out by boogers.
Rob Eiler
I just want to say I'll talk.
Jamie
About it for 10 more seconds. You know the time they, like, take up your entire nostril. Like, he'll come home from school and, like, his two nostrils are just. I'm like his teachers. He's in first grade. Like, wipe his nose.
Rob Eiler
You know what his nose looks like? You know, in like, a cartoon, when they would show, like, a sewer oozing stuff out of it. Like, that's what his face. It looks like. It's just oozing out of his face.
Jamie
He has no drainage.
Rob Eiler
But they did wipe a booger on a kid's head. So you will be able to tune in 14 years from now when they have their own YMH pot. Clearly, it's the. The path they're on.
Jamie
Yes.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, I think. I think they're gonna fit in.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
Great.
Jamie
Let's talk about the bet that you won. Rob would had just been telling me that it was, like, not the most exciting football season for.
Rob Eiler
And Super Bowl. Super bowl sucked.
Jamie
Right. And like, super bowl in general. Like, by the way, who called an Eagles blowout? You texted me that morning and you said, who you got, James? I said, saquon's time. Sake. It's Saquon's time. It's his birthday. It's the Eagles all the way. I feel a blowout coming.
Rob Eiler
You didn't say that, but yeah, you said.
Jamie
Well, I said that to Cutter, but you. You went against me.
Rob Eiler
I bet on the Chiefs because I thought Philly was better, but I thought that the Chiefs were. Because of Taylor Swift. I thought they were going to win.
Jamie
It was time for the world to see that the Chiefs had gotten. Chiefs are a great team, but I feel like all their wins were lucky this year and the Eagles were just a better team.
Rob Eiler
And then tell them what happened. James, who was the real winner at.
Jamie
Literally what, how many, many minutes left of the game? Right? We think, okay, it's done. Not exciting. And then the Chiefs throw that touchdown towards the end. Cutter and Rob hit their box. Well, not only that, zero was.
Rob Eiler
We realized at that moment that we need the two point conversion to hit the box.
Jamie
That's right.
Rob Eiler
So here's, here's.
Jamie
That's right.
Rob Eiler
Here's what happened.
Jamie
I mean, the party was like dead.
Rob Eiler
It was dead. It was like everybody. It was like 40 to 20 or whatever the fuck it was.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
And so what happens is we're upstairs watching and the Kansas City gets a touchdown. We realized if they get this two point conversion, me and Cutter win. And it's like $8,000.
Jamie
Yes.
Rob Eiler
And we're like, we're like, please. And the whole super bowl sucked. Everything sucked. It was not good. We.
Jamie
Halftime show was good.
Rob Eiler
It was good. We. So then they missed a two point conversion. And that's what me and Cutter were like, fudge this. We get. We. We walk out of the theater. We were watching it in. We go downstairs, people are like cleaning up and whatever. And we're like, it's over. Like, you know, that was it. We were two point conversion away from eight grand. And then all of a sudden, so we needed the numbers two and zero.
Jamie
And there's what, four minutes left.
Rob Eiler
Something. And fucking Mahomes throws a bomb to Worthy, I think touchdown. And we're like. And then we realize we're like, oh my God, wait now if they get the touchdown and two point conversion we hit for the eight grand and he.
Jamie
Was wondering like, do they go for it? Because they'd still have no chance of winning. And they went for it.
Rob Eiler
They went for it. They got it. And it was the fucking best. It was the best. It was you.
Jamie
I'm so happy for you.
Rob Eiler
When you're a gambler, hitting a final box on the super bowl is one of the dreams.
Jamie
With a minute left.
Rob Eiler
With a minute. And we fucking hit it. And then the. And then they.
Jamie
What a. What a closeout.
Rob Eiler
Philly knelt down and that. And that ended the season. And that. That made up for a lot of the losses.
Jamie
Yeah, sure.
Rob Eiler
This was, this was the first football season I've had in a long time where it was really what I wanted to know what going back to L. A was like for you. Like, do you feel like it's home?
Jamie
Do you feel like no, it's just sad there right now.
Rob Eiler
Right. Well, outside of the fires, what is it just like when you return, even.
Jamie
On a. I miss it. I miss. Look, my very best friend Stephanie is there. I miss her and her family so much. So many people that I love and care about. But like the life that I had there no longer exists, you know, I think it's more like I'm melancholy for a time.
Rob Eiler
Yeah.
Jamie
That just wouldn't even exist if I went back there. LA is a beautiful place. I have so much love for it, but it is not my home anymore.
Rob Eiler
And what do you. Besides the fires, obviously. What do you think is like the biggest problem in LA right now? Because I got, I got one. I got a real problem in la. There's dudes in the gym locker room taking photos of themselves constantly. And there's not only la, it's Jamie. I go to gyms and I go to gyms in New York, I go to gyms in Texas. You go to a gym in la, every one you walk in, there's dudes flexing.
Jamie
Are they straight?
Rob Eiler
I don't ask them. But you assume no. But the problem is there's naked people walking around. Like in a locker room. There's naked people walking around and they're taking photos in the, in the mirror and in the, behind them in the mirror there's naked people and they just. It's all about them.
Jamie
Better engagement on the, on the socials.
James
Isn't that illegal?
Rob Eiler
That's what I'm saying.
James
You can't do that.
Rob Eiler
That's exactly what I have it written here.
Jamie
And he's like in trouble for that. Yeah, that's. That feels la. Sure.
Rob Eiler
It's cr. And you're. And you feel like. Because you know, a lot of the, you know, mostly dudes aren't walking around in the, in the locker room like fully naked. Like they get naked to change, but they're not walking around. But you do have those 70, 80 year old guys who love walking around naked and they're clueless to like a dude taking selfies in the mirror. And you just know like this guy's getting fucking 20 photos of his snapped right now while we're sitting here and it's like it's not fucking cool. And it happens non stop in la.
Jamie
Wowzers.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, it's a problem.
Jamie
Sounds like it.
Rob Eiler
Yeah.
Jamie
Not.
Rob Eiler
And not a problem in Texas.
Jamie
I've never seen it here aware of. Yeah, it's.
Rob Eiler
It's got, it's gotta stop. We've got to stop these Guys.
Jamie
Yeah, you should start this mission movement.
Rob Eiler
Do you have any problems with la? You want to air out?
Jamie
No, you guys, you guys.
Rob Eiler
Any problems with la?
Jamie
I missed the food.
James
Make another freeway, man. Or like get these FTOLs going so we can just, you know, we can get. We can get through because that traffic is crazy, dude. Yeah, it's unbelievable. It's crazy that it's still that bad. Still, like, y'all know nothing about.
Jamie
Yeah, they made the 405, 11 lanes wide and it's still backed up.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, bro, we have. Okay, so I was walking when I was staying at my friend's house in California. I was walking by and I saw this and it. It threw me into a tizzy. Can you show the photo of what was on the ground? Look at this, Jame. There are my sneakers, there are my pants. Same as always. So we got a dollar bill, but it's in some wetness. It's in some water. Yeah, it's soaked. What's your move here?
Jamie
You just keep just $1.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, yeah.
Jamie
So somebody who needs it will find it and pick it up.
Rob Eiler
This is where I. This is where I found myself. I found myself going, I'm not gonna touch that. But I found myself feeling like a piece of shit for it because I grew up poor. And like, I remember back in the day when it was like.
Jamie
I remember somebody who's poor will find it and pick it up.
Rob Eiler
Another just person with a lot of money won't grab it before or something. I just feel like walking by it. I felt bad because I remember being a kid, when you're a kid and you see pennies on the floor and you pick them up and then one.
Jamie
Day, like luck, right?
Rob Eiler
But then one day you go, I'm not picking up pennies anymore. Like it's. It's, you know. But also when we were kids.
Jamie
I haven't reached that.38.
Rob Eiler
You still pick up pennies?
Jamie
Yeah, heads up.
Rob Eiler
Ones on the street like this.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
Get out of here.
Jamie
I mean, not if it's in a stream of sewer water.
Rob Eiler
So if you're walking on the street, let's say you're in New York City and you see a penny, you stop to pick it up.
Jamie
Yep.
Rob Eiler
Get out of here.
Jamie
Put it in my pocket.
James
That's so wholesome.
Rob Eiler
I don't know if I believe it.
Jamie
Why would I lie about that?
Rob Eiler
Because I just think. I think it's one of those things that you do where, like in your head you want to think you'd do that.
Jamie
But I pick up a Heads up penny every time.
Rob Eiler
When's the last time you picked up a heads up penny? Exactly. Yeah, it was.
Jamie
It was not too long ago with BO because I gave it to him.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. I just can't. I can't imagine you stopping New York City walking to pick up.
Jamie
I love it if you do, because it happens.
Rob Eiler
Okay.
Jamie
You sprinkle some pennies out there. Don't tell me in a couple of months, watch what I do.
Rob Eiler
I'm. I'm very happy you do that.
Chad
I think Bert's doing that right now.
Rob Eiler
Yes.
Jamie
Picking up pennies.
Chad
He's throwing.
Jamie
Throwing the pennies.
James
Yeah.
Chad
He bought a bunch.
Rob Eiler
Oh, that's a good.
Jamie
He bought a bunch of pennies, make.
Rob Eiler
Sure they're all worth.
Chad
And he's chucking them out into the world.
Rob Eiler
Does he make sure they're all heads up?
Jamie
What a living angel.
Chad
So I think he just throws them.
Rob Eiler
Because I remember growing up and like, you pick up pennies, and then one day you go, I'm not gonna pick up pennies anymore. And then you see a nickel, a.
Jamie
Diamond, that day that you wanted to stop.
Rob Eiler
I just think you also, like, I think that when you're 4 years old, you're like a penny like you. Money, like, you know, and then I think one day you realize, like, this penny doesn't get me anything. I don't want to walk around with this penny in my pocket all day for no reason.
Jamie
And then it doesn't Trump say he wants to stop producing pennies?
Rob Eiler
Oh, that's right. With the. With the. And he wants to make weak toilet flushes go away. That those were kind of hand in hand.
Jamie
What?
Rob Eiler
Yeah, you know, like, you know, like the environmental. Because he. He says when you shit in one of these weak toilets, you have to flush eight times. So it negates the whole thing of making it a weak toilet flush. Yeah. He's like, I'd rather one good New York City.
Jamie
I love that. That's like something that he's bringing up. That's clearly a personal issue.
Rob Eiler
Tackles the kitchen table issues.
Jamie
They say kitchen table issues.
James
When President Donald Trump announced his intention to eliminate the penny Sunday, he cited the rising cost of the. Of producing the coin. It's the only coin that costs more than it's worth.
Jamie
It costs nearly 4 cents.
Rob Eiler
It's insane.
James
That is pretty fucking stupid.
Jamie
It is stupid.
Rob Eiler
I mean, it's the definition of waste. Yeah. We're paying 4 cents for a penny. It makes no sense. And then they're just on the ground. I'm walking by that I wouldn't even pick one up.
James
It's like I can't even think of anything ever that I can get with a cent right now.
Jamie
And I don't really use. I don't really use coins to pay for anything anymore. Like my kids love them in their piggy banks and stuff.
Rob Eiler
In New York City when I was a kid, they had penny candy stores. Remember that?
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
And like you could get pieces of candy for a penny. Fucking awesome.
James
And then fucking nickel. Nickel was cool for nickels, but yeah, pennies.
Rob Eiler
Like what is nickel? Nickel.
James
It was like an arcade, but instead. Yeah, it was dope. I don't even know. I imagine they're out of business now.
Jamie
But so I. Racket. Arcades are huh.
Rob Eiler
Insane.
Jamie
What a racket are you.
Rob Eiler
So we know you're. You don't believe in the funeral.
Jamie
Yeah, I'm on same as arcade places.
Rob Eiler
Yeah.
James
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why are you anti arcade?
Jamie
I'm not anti. Look, my kids love them. I take them to them all the time. But like when you think about how much money you have to spend to like play the game, these people are raking in money.
James
You know how much those cabinets are? Those cabinets are like fucking 10G's cabinets. The. Sorry, the big box of game. You know that you're playing with the sticks and buttons.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, but not like a street Fighter. You're saying it's 10k for like a virtual, like a game with like a board, like a snowboard or something.
James
That's probably way more. Way more.
Jamie

James
You know the thing that you just punch.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, yeah.
James
It's really simple. Right? You wouldn't think that's that much. It was like nine grand.
Rob Eiler
But let's. But you, you can get like a street fighter arcade game for like 1500 bucks.
James
You mean like the gamestop one that's like not very good or. Yeah, yeah, because you. Because the.
Jamie
He's talking about like old school arcades, right? Like Pac Man Asteroid. Like all the.
Rob Eiler
Look up how much a Pac man arc.
Jamie
I had an arcade birthday once when I was young and I only invited those boy, those secret boys. Remember that? I wouldn't tell people I friends with.
Rob Eiler
This is 500 bucks.
Chad
But those are probably.
James
These are not good.
Rob Eiler
But that one, that one is good. The Ms. Pac man. Oh no, that's 4, 3, 800. I feel like those like basic games are not 10k. The punching thing is different because it's, it's.
Jamie
What about like a pinball machine?
James
I'm telling you that they get expensive because like nobody knows how to number one. You can't just build it. Like if you can, you could say, oh, I'll just Build this. I'll put a computer and a little screen and all that. And like, technically, yeah, you could build this, but, like, go ahead and try that. Shit's crazy complicated. And then especially to maintain it, too.
Chad
Yeah, sure.
Jamie
A lot of me.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. Maintenance expense. Yeah, kind of. They break all the time.
Jamie
Machines are expensive.
Rob Eiler
Can you look up again? Pinball machine to me is different because it's. It has all these mechanisms in it. Can you look up how much it is to buy the Sopranos pinball machine?
Jamie
Oh, yeah.
Rob Eiler
My uncle has one in his basement.
Jamie
He does?
Rob Eiler
Yeah. 10,000.
Jamie
11,000 for a refurbished.
James
I'm telling you, dog.
Rob Eiler
No, no, no, I. I agree with you on pinball machines in this, but I. I remember, like, going to after hours spots and like, like that in New York City when, like, people had arcade games. I remember thinking, like, this must be a million dollars. And like, no, we got it for like 2500 bucks.
James
Maybe back then it was like there was more of a demand, you know, because arcades were kind of popping when.
Rob Eiler
Right. I think that's what happened. I think there was a thing where, like, in the beginning they were super expensive, then they went down and now they're probably back.
James
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
Kind of high up because I remember there was a time where I was like, oh, you can just like. I remember thinking like, rich people have these. And then I remember somebody telling me they got one for like 800 bucks. I was like, oh, it's like, anyone can get this Sopranos pinball machine. Wait, what did you just say? You were like those secret boys.
Jamie
Yeah, Remember I used to have. I talked about those boys that I would hang out with on Saturday mornings. We were called the Commodore 64 Club. And we would play, like, computer games and watch wrestling and the Elio's Pizza. But, like, we never talked about our friendship, like, at school.
Rob Eiler
Really?
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob Eiler
So when you would see them in the hallways, you pretend like you didn't know.
Jamie
I pretend I didn't know them, but, like, we just didn't talk about it.
Rob Eiler
And who named you guys the Commodore 64 club?
Jamie
I don't remember who came up with the name.
Rob Eiler
Were you the only girl?
Jamie
Yeah, it was me. These and three boys.
Rob Eiler
Wow.
Jamie
That were not, you know, not cool. Like. No, they just, like, weren't friends with, like, the people that I was friends with.
Rob Eiler
So how did you. How did you secretly plan these meetings.
Jamie
Without, I think, Hebrew school.
Rob Eiler
Wow.
Jamie
I think one of them was in Hebrew school with me. And, like, we talked about, like, a game we liked to play on Commodore 64. And he's like, well, you know Abhishek and whoever come over my house. I can't remember the other boy, Danny, maybe it was Adam, Danny and Abhishek. And he was like, you know, Abhishek and Danny come over every Saturday morning and like we play and like watch wrestling. And I was like, that sounds dope. I want to come.
Rob Eiler
How old were you?
Jamie
Like eight, nine.
Rob Eiler
Wow. The record must have skipped.
Jamie
I had a, I had a like arcade birthday one time and like just they were invited and like my brothers.
Rob Eiler
Wow.
Jamie
Because I was like, they, they'll think this is dope and these are the people I want to play arcade games.
Rob Eiler
Well, the two, the two sides of Jamie. Yeah, Two faces of Jamie. Yeah, you never know. Wow.
Jamie
Like a 90.
James
I got a little question about that. At what age would you say you said you met them at 8?
Jamie
No, we like grew up together. We lived in the same neighborhood and shit.
James
But yeah, so what? At what age did you realize that they wanted you, like sexually? Yeah, what age did you realize that?
Jamie
Definitely not then.
James
No, but you never, you're saying you never thought that.
Jamie
Not at like 8, 9?
Rob Eiler
No, but we gotta say Jamie's kid, Jamie's kid is 11. He's still kind of like ew with girls. I don't know if they were ew or who.
Jamie
He's all about girls.
Rob Eiler
Right.
James
But it's not. You're ew about sex because you don't understand what the fuck it is. But, but like I know that you want to be.
Jamie
I don't think these boys looked at me that way. Like, I think, I think it was like cool to have like a girl around. But I don't think, I don't think their minds were thinking sexually.
James
Yes. Well, yeah, to be fair, I don't. Yeah. At that age. I don't mean sexually. I'm just saying that like guys just want the girl around.
Rob Eiler
Yeah. They're like, wow.
Jamie
I think I had some sort of awareness, if I can think back, that they like liked that I was there, like. And I'm sure there was a part of me that enjoyed feeling special.
Rob Eiler
You were a little Commodore 60 whore.
Jamie
We should make a T shirt. Me on a computer. That was good. That's my Halloween costume this year. What are you, a Commodore 60 whore?
Rob Eiler
I love it. We haven't done. Oh, by the way, what age do you stop going?
Jamie
It was short lived. It was like, you know, it was Saturday mornings. I think I started doing musicals soon and just couldn't make them could you.
Rob Eiler
Imagine that first week without you?
Jamie
Oh, I remember pulling it. You know what, though? I have a memory of like maybe a year after we had like stopped hanging out. It was like a snow day and like all the neighborhood kids were like, you know, doing their thing in the snow. And I remember like being with my group of friends and like seeing the three of them, like walking around and like feeling like I wish I would have. I was like hanging with them.
Rob Eiler
Your true self.
Jamie
Like, it was like, you know, like across the street. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's where I get to be the real me, you know, I'm a nerd.
Rob Eiler
They really appreciated me over there. Yeah, well, that's. That's your.
Jamie
I felt safe.
Rob Eiler
I texted Carter the other day at like 10am we're talking and he's like, yeah, Jamie's sitting next to me doing a thousand piece puzzle.
Jamie
I had to finish it. It was one that I've been working on. There's these puzzles called magic puzzles. One of my closest friends, Kelty, got it for me. And so like you, there's like straight lines in the middle of it and going across it and then you, you finish it and then you move one out and then you build a whole other thing and move it in. It's it. They're really dope, but they. It took me way too long. I was like. As somebody who's like a puzzle person, I was embarrassed how much. How. That took me like four days.
Rob Eiler
You know what?
Jamie
We gotta do the magic puzzles.
Rob Eiler
We got the, the Monopoly card game. We should bring it here one day and we'll. We'll film us playing a game.
Jamie
I like that idea. I like that idea. I also. She also just got me up one of those puzzle boards that you can spin and has drawers and stuff.
Rob Eiler
I never heard of this.
Jamie
Yeah, well, now you know what to get me. I'm a puzzle girl.
Rob Eiler
Do we. We haven't done a cutter's weekly Instagram in a long time.
Jamie
Oh, has he sent you any?
Rob Eiler

Rob Eiler
That is so funny.
Jamie
Very funny.
Rob Eiler
What? You know, I want to ask you about Cutter. Why doesn't Cutter smoke cigarettes? It seems like he.
Jamie
Because he knows he would be addicted.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, but he. He seems like he loves cigarettes more than anyone.
Jamie
When he's drinking, he'll have one or two. Like, I've seen him have one or two.
Rob Eiler
Half of the Instagrams he sends me is a guy smoking a cigarette.
Jamie
Well, his parents smoked a ton growing up, like, in the car, windows shut, smoking. So I think, like, there's a part of him, I'd imagine, that doesn't love it.
Rob Eiler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jamie
But he's. I mean, we've talked about the Zins, so it's not like.
Rob Eiler
He's not like, no one I've ever seen. Yeah, he. Oh, my God. We didn't talk about that at the super bowl thing. You weren't there. It was just him up in the theory. He lost his Zins. It was chaos.
