Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the time this comes out, we were honestly the most famous people probably, you know, in America. I think it's amazing. Eric's dating Dua Lipa right now. It's fucking awesome.
Eric Rahill
I'm trying it out. Yeah, she's excellent.
Stavros Halkias
That's so good, dude. I'm so happy for you. But there's actually a love triangle because I'm also dating her. So that's kind of drama, right, for us. But that's what happens when you're on a rocket ship.
Eric Rahill
Is that okay? Does Albania and Greece get along?
Stavros Halkias
No, that's what. That's the hard. My mom is so pissed that I'm fucking Dua Leap on the side while you also fuck her. As a result of the great success of our movie. Let's start a cult, right? Let's all not lose sight of where this riff began. That this movie is now super successful. And it's. Yeah, fuck it. It's broken Nia Vardalos record. She's actually legitimately Riff Over. I respect Nia so much. Cause My Big Fat Greek Wedding number one grossing. The most profitable romantic comedy of all time.
Eric Rahill
Is that true?
Stavros Halkias
Legitimately true. Cuz it was. Yeah. She just did it herself and it was a complete. We honestly are trying to do the My big Factory winning playbook with our movie. Yes. Eric and Katie are both in the film. They're super funny. And we just decided, you know, this is the month of getting people from the movie on. We had Wes and Daniel on. Daniel told some great stories.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Of his time of growing up in Norway or wherever the fuck.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
We're. I think we either have already had or about to have Edie and Claire on, so that'll be amazing.
Eric Rahill
I love Daniel saying just anything.
Stavros Halkias
He sounds so good.
Eric Rahill
He goes like this. Wow.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, wow. He was opening up by the end of the play. He was like nervous to do a pod. You should have seen the texts. I had to coax him. It's the hardest I've ever worked to get a guest on the podcast.
Katie Nolan
Want to do it?
Stavros Halkias
He was just like, you know, he's, I think, a little nervous, but he crushed it. He was so fucking funny and he was great in the. In the. Great. In the movie. We just. We just watched the movie in theaters, in a theater with people.
Eric Rahill
It was Los Angeles right down the road.
Stavros Halkias
Have you guys ever watched yourselves in a. I've never.
Katie Nolan
Not a feature.
Eric Rahill
It feels like fucking shit, I would say. I mean, a great move, really fun movie, but it feels like shit.
Stavros Halkias
Watching yourself, it does feel weird because you're. The whole time, I was like, nervous being like, I hope that hits. But like, when you get a nice one, when you get a nice big laugh. That feels good.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. When you're not expecting it.
Stavros Halkias
Totally, totally. Oh, cool. I thought that sucked, but the audience liked it.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. And you're like, I don't know why. What's wrong with them?
Stavros Halkias
But don't listen to us. We're, you know, we can't accept love. You guys watch the movie. That's what's important. It's available to rent or purchase on VOD right now.
Eric Rahill
When are you taking this to Dubai where the real market's going to explode? They're all.
Stavros Halkias
We're doing a screening at the top of the bird.
Eric Rahill
That's amazing, man.
Stavros Halkias
Dude, Dubai freaks me the out so much.
Eric Rahill
I know, but it feels like it freaks me out. But I can tell that if I landed there, it would feel at home immediately. Shoulders relax.
Katie Nolan
What kind of job do you think you'd have if you worked in your car.
Eric Rahill
I think I would just be a entertainer. One of the biggest white entertainers.
Stavros Halkias
I one time I opened for Eddie Griffin and he. I don't know if it was Dubai or Saudi Arabia or. I mean, is that in.
Eric Rahill
You were over there.
Stavros Halkias
No, I wasn't. Oh, no, but he was. He like some fucking sultan or. This is racist. It's probably a different title. Some. Some sultan, big turban. No, no, nothing. No, no, no. I think it was a. I think it was Jasmine's father from Aladdin hired him. No, some guy hired him, paid him like 200,000. I get whatever a huge amount of money to do comedy at like his daughter's like birthday party. And it's like this guy's like 20 year old daughter is a big Eddie Griffin.
Eric Rahill
That's not. That can't be rude. I believe it, but I can't believe that she's.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, she might be. Wow, he's got some bangers. He was crazy eyes in the movie the Loser. Right? You know that one, DJ Qualls?
Eric Rahill
I haven't. I haven't seen it.
Stavros Halkias
Or the new guy. The new guy.
Katie Nolan
I don't remember that one.
Eric Rahill
No, no, come on. I'm sure they're amazing, dude.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, those are Elijah Dushku trying on bikini scene. That. It was very crucial to my upbringing as a boy that you're. Moe's nodding his head, produced super producer Mo. No mic for you. No, he's off camera. He's. He's too shy to be on camera. But super producer Mo knows it. Maybe it's because didn't you grow up like weirdly religious or something?
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
So no jacking off for young Eric.
Eric Rahill
That's not true.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, I was.
Eric Rahill
I was going crazy on it. Crazier than anyone's ever done. Double handers.
Stavros Halkias
Wow. Bragging.
Eric Rahill
No, no, it's not bragging. It's just truth. Yeah, I was getting it in.
Stavros Halkias
That's awesome, dude.
Eric Rahill
Appreciate it. In Seattle or somewhere around there, Washington state.
Stavros Halkias
I didn't. I guess I didn't think of people being. I just think of the Pacific Northwest being like, you know, fucking free spirits. Not weird.
Eric Rahill
It's mostly atheists, but I don't think.
Katie Nolan
Were you Christian?
Eric Rahill
Yeah. Extremely Christian.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, extremely Christian. That's awesome. How many. How much church are we going to?
Eric Rahill
Non stop church. I grew up going to Wednesday mass and no, it was pro. It was like evangelical. I went to evangelical school.
Stavros Halkias
Wow.
Eric Rahill
I went to church.
Katie Nolan
Question.
Stavros Halkias
That's fucking awesome.
Eric Rahill
When? 911 happened. My teacher in fourth grade was like, the end is coming. The morning of. She was like, it's time to rejoice because it means that Jesus is coming.
Stavros Halkias
Well, that's the. That's the craziest part.
Eric Rahill
This is what they're talking about in Revelation.
Stavros Halkias
Those people are so fucking insane. A crazy part about. You know, we're not gonna get too political here, folks, but it's so funny about how much of our fucked up policy in the Middle east is evangelicals thinking they can trick God into coming back. If Jews and Muslims are fighting in the holy war. Like, they literally believe that. They think once a holy war happens, God comes back. And that's so insane to think that some fucking senator from Nebraska voting for an arms bill will in some way influence the almighty God. The fucking coming back. It's crazy.
Eric Rahill
Yeah. I couldn't. I was. I was ready for the Rapture too. I, like, wanted it to come.
Stavros Halkias
I was like.
Eric Rahill
But I also. It was when those Left behind movies were coming out.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
And I.
Stavros Halkias
Were you good either way?
Eric Rahill
No, I thought I would be, because I would be cranking, jerking it. And then I'd be like, this is going to keep me on earth and I'm going to have to, I don't know, like, run the household because my, you know, parents, they'll be taken away. Other clothes, they don't. In a pile on the ground.
Stavros Halkias
I love the pile of clothes.
Eric Rahill
It's so sad.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, but you were like, I can't. There were points before you were jerking off. There were points where you're like, I'm going to heaven straight away. Like, were you pumped for heaven at any point?
Eric Rahill
I would have. I don't know. I never thought I would make it because even when I was, like, 8, I would have dreams of, like, the Holy Spirit coming out of a table in my living room, damning me to hell. I would have, like, dreams of driving in our minivan and God's fist would, like, a cloud would turn into God's fist and, like, punch the fuck out of our car, killing us. I had a dream.
Katie Nolan
I feel like you've seen more, like, death and dead bodies than I ever did.
Stavros Halkias
We were doing the movie every day. You had a new story about someone who died.
Katie Nolan
And I don't think they were. It was the same story of the same dead bodies. They were like.
Stavros Halkias
Cause it was organic. Cause we would just be, like, at a lake. I think even that one line, the line that made it to the movie, is something that you watched or you saw. You knew boys that drowned in the lake.
Eric Rahill
Well, these are boys that I used to play World War II with, like, at my church, running around shooting sticks. You know, shooting with stick guns. And one brother was drowning, other one jumped in to try to save him, and they both got taken.
Stavros Halkias
Jesus fucking Christ. That's so. That's like. You always hear the heroic brother that saves the brother story. You don't hear the, like, oh, it didn't work out. We went over two. We couldn't keep our. We didn't cut our losses at 1. We had to fucking go over 2. It was a big risk. Damn, dude. And is that why. Partially. You were like, well, God's gonna destroy our minivans?
Eric Rahill
I think so, yeah. I was just surrounded by horror. Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
What's the first time you remember someone dying? What's your first memory of death?
Eric Rahill
First time I remember someone dying was on a mission trip that you were on that I was on.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, my fucking God.
Eric Rahill
That's awesome. How old were you? Well, this was like, the death started rolling in around 16, and it didn't stop. And basically we went on this mission trip. And this is when I started having problems with God, is we went to a. Like, a Native American reservation out in Montana. And the conceit was to get all these white kids to go to, like, a powwow and pick up trash and just wear shirts that, like, had, like. Like scripture on them. And, you know, and hopefully we're hoping that we'd be noticed enough. What are these? All these white Christian kids? Yeah, we should be Christians.
Stavros Halkias
That's awesome. That's. I mean, your church group is so stupid. They could not have picked a less welcoming population.
Eric Rahill
Hated us. And they would. Sometimes they see us and just drop trash right in front of us.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, Native American, like, go to a foreign country where they could use the help. Native Americans are in a shitty place because of exactly these people. Like the youth from the 1700s.
Eric Rahill
Like our grandparents.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. So incredible.
Eric Rahill
But we were like. We would, like, host shit at the church in the area, and we got close with these two kids, and on the second to last night of the trip, they got in a drunk driving accident.
Stavros Halkias
Both dead.
Eric Rahill
Wow. And they woke us up in these tents in the middle of the night. And the youth pastor did. We got summoned into the church. And he goes, like. So just so you know, like, Tony and Mike passed away tonight in a car accident. And they're like. But he's like, you know, it might be hard to hear this, but that's God's plan, and that's Gonna be bringing a lot of people to the church and, you know, people will be.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. So we're excited for this.
Stavros Halkias
God was the one who put that much Bacardi 151 in the system.
Eric Rahill
Tech9 blasting on the God was one.
Stavros Halkias
Who let them find some Alize in the bushes and fucking take it to the dome.
Eric Rahill
It's awful. Yeah. And literally I became atheist so fucking fast right after that.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What about any religion over there?
Eric Rahill
Not at all.
Stavros Halkias
Not at all.
Katie Nolan
None. I mean, my mom is Catholic, so she's like, you know, guilt tripping.
Stavros Halkias
Sure.
Katie Nolan
Stuff like that.
Stavros Halkias
Classic guilt stuff.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. The best of it is we talked a lot. I feel like you and I talked a lot about this. Making the movie. My dad.
Stavros Halkias
Yes.
Katie Nolan
Similar dads.
Stavros Halkias
Yes, yes, yes.
Katie Nolan
My dad didn't like religion and he would say that he was God as far as I was concerned.
Stavros Halkias
I love that.
Eric Rahill
Oh, wow.
Stavros Halkias
Love.
Eric Rahill
Power.
Stavros Halkias
That is power. That's amazing.
Katie Nolan
That's what I thought.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. My dad, I never bought any of his claiming he was, but he was very similar in that he was just. The reason they felt like he had a family was because he needed one place where he. People were forced to respect him.
Katie Nolan
Had to do with law and economic control.
Stavros Halkias
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. My dad one time was like. He was like, I remember exactly what led into it. But he was like, oh, I went to the. I was like, what do you even. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking. He's like, with that age where you're like, I actually think you're not smart. I've learned enough of the world and I'm pretty sure you're wrong. And he was like, yeah, I didn't need to go to no fancy university. I went to the university of the streets.
Katie Nolan
My dad was always saying stuff like that or like, even with like, nutrition, he'd be like, no, doctors don't know. He was like, that's early in that movement where, like, doctors don't know what they're talking about. Your brain needs fat.
Stavros Halkias
That's awesome. So you need to like, what's he on right now? What's his. What was his vaccine stance.
Katie Nolan
Not vaccinated. None of them are. I didn't expect. I was very. Yeah, I was surprised by that.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
But yeah, we don't.
Eric Rahill
Surprise.
Stavros Halkias
My dad was also pretty like. And my dad has. No. See, the thing is, your dad had some weird. I don't know where my dad not wanting to get vaccinated came from, but he was. I Mean, probably just cause I'm pretty.
Katie Nolan
Sure my dad has every other vaccination.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
No way. This one.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, my dad and he would like. There was a period of time where it was like. And all his friends are insanely unhealthy Greek men. Half of them were in the hospital, like half of them literally were on incubators and shit or whatever the fuck. Breath. What the fuck are those shit called? Is it an intubator?
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Michael Smo says yes. The man of mystery, Michael Smo. I like this little theater of the mind you guys fill in. What's Mo look like? You know, this is good.
Eric Rahill
I'll just say sexy as fuck.
Stavros Halkias
He's a fucking piece of ass. Yeah. And God didn't want him here. We talked about that early on. He was a two day birthday, 48 hour birth. Had a hole in his fucking lungs reach. Yeah. Clubs, pussy, all up, 48 hours of pussing. That's all right, man. It's all worth it. As we said before, it's all worth it to bring us this beautiful podcast space.

You go to church, you're like, why would I doubt what people are telling me? This is fucking. And you're smelling incense. It's kind of trippy. Like, damn.
Eric Rahill
You had the ritual.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, dude, I was an altar ball.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, like, the swinging, doing this shit.
Stavros Halkias
And I remember being in like. Like Easter services because we were, you know, we would go, like, to Sunday school.
Katie Nolan
Oh, my gosh.
Stavros Halkias
All dressed up, dressed up. But I remember. I remember Easter. All week, there's church. And as an altar boy, that was like, you want to get that? That's a plum assignment, right?
Eric Rahill
Because you felt good having that responsibility.
Stavros Halkias
It was. It was. It was a couple things. It was like, I still really believe that some. Some shit was real. Even though they really didn't teach us scripture or anything. It was more just like, just listen to God kind of shit. Like, I don't have any. Like, other people that grew up kind of more religious. Like, I'm sure you know so many verses and shit. I did.
Eric Rahill
I lost them.
Katie Nolan
Do you know all the songs? Like, did you sing all those, like, creepy Christian songs?
Eric Rahill
Oh, hella of them.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, yeah.
Eric Rahill
I used to have to sing Christian hymns in a nursing home. That was actually the first time I ever saw death singing to a dying man. He passed away, like, while we were in the room.
Stavros Halkias
That's. What the fuck? How old were you?
Eric Rahill
Eight or nine.
Katie Nolan
Do you remember the song?
Eric Rahill
Yeah. It's like, joy, joy. How does it fucking get? My heart is full of joy, joy, joy, joy. Shit like that.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
And all the. You go into the Alzheimer's wing singing these things, and these people are, you know, it's being taken by that mental illness, of course, disease, and. But then they hear that and they come back. It's like they're 30 years, you know, 25 years old again. They're singing it.
Stavros Halkias
It was so like a church.
Eric Rahill
It Was a Christian nursing home.
Stavros Halkias
Interesting.
Eric Rahill
Yeah. Called Christa Krista Ministries.
Stavros Halkias
Interesting. Yeah, yeah, Very nice. Yeah. And they just popped back up.
Eric Rahill
Oh, yeah, yeah. They're back in.
Stavros Halkias
Damn. What do you think they were up to?
Eric Rahill
Huh? Oh, up in there.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
I don't know.
Stavros Halkias
They got up anything freaky.
Eric Rahill
I bet they did.
Katie Nolan
That's what they say.
Stavros Halkias
I think they go, what about Christian one, though? You think the Christian one?
Eric Rahill
I think at that age there's no more. You can't sin anymore. It's fair.
Stavros Halkias
After 90, there's no more sin.
Eric Rahill
Right, Right.
Stavros Halkias
I agree. It would be fun if like not old people were just committing crimes on the way out.
Eric Rahill
Why not?
Stavros Halkias
Why not? Yeah, that is that. That's. Yeah. That's so fucking funny. The evangelical shit is so crazy. But I remember being like being in. Oh, yeah. To the Easter thing. You wanted that assignment because if you felt, first of all, I was a show off. And it's like everyone goes to Easter service. So it's like you fucking. Everybody's like, you're holding the phone, you're holding a little thing.
Eric Rahill
You're looking like a scepter, a chalice.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. So it would be like, okay, actually this is good. Let's break it down. There'd be like the two little lantern. It would be like. It actually was like there was three levels of shit you could hold. And we would frame the priest, right? He'd come out, fucking big ass book. And then the little dick shit is the like lantern, right? Little kids get the lantern. Fuck that shit. Then there's like, I don't know, some kind of fan, golden, kind of like a halo type shit metal thing. That's pretty good. That's a nice assignment to have. And then the last one, when you really swing your dick around is the cross. Only one cross. Only one cross. And it goes on the right, you know, the right of. I literally don't remember. Probably the right side. And so that you're really on an island there because it's two pairs of guys. Then there's the cross guy. When I was the cross guy for Easter, you know.
Eric Rahill
How did you get that cross? What'd you have to do to get.
Stavros Halkias
Paid My dues, dude. Stuck around chilling, you know what I mean? Got. Went to the ones no one wanted to, you know what I mean? They're early, leaving late. But the nice thing is. And even listen, even the halo's not bad. Look, Easter service, just to be on the starting team isn't on it.
Eric Rahill
Oh, yeah.
Katie Nolan
Did you feel like when you Were a kid. Were you embracing it and actually believing these things or were you performing?
Stavros Halkias
It was definitely a mix. That's the thing that was weird. It was a mix of I just loved you. Love the attention.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. Eyes on you.
Stavros Halkias
But also it's like they're telling you this is God, right. And you're like damn sick. And also when you. There was like. I had some like my aunt who I loved passed away when I was like too young to question shit. So for a while I was like, well, the only way I get to fucking see my aunt again is if God's real. And I'm like, you know what I mean? Like, so there's like a little element of that. And I remember being like in Easter, being like smelling incense and shit and kind of like trying to be like, oh, fuck. I feel the whole like trying to trick myself. Yeah. And for moments I was like, I did feel kind of like a special, kind of like weird vibe. But it's like that's probably in your head, you know what I mean? The incense probably. And yeah. And then also I hate that as the older I get, I start believing in shit, like energy, you know what I mean? Like, I hate that. I fucking hate that. I. But like a room full like in a church packed shit, people praying. I do think there was something going on.
Katie Nolan
There's gotta be.
Stavros Halkias
There's gotta be a little something. Brainwave wise.
Katie Nolan
Sometimes we get together.
Stavros Halkias
So I'm in there and I'm like trying to be like, hell yeah, that's God. What I'm feeling right now is God. But then the other part of it is like in the altar, it's you and your boys. Most of like everyone else is at church having to fucking be quiet and shit. And we couldn't talk loud. But it's like you and your boys. And like our Greek communion is actual bread, it's not crackers. So it's like they would have a big ass loaf and they would cut this, they would make just perfect square pieces so you get all the trimmings of bread. So we're just eating. We're just munching bread cores. Like brotherhood just around being like you're like trying to get the person to get in trouble, you know what I mean?
Eric Rahill
The hardest you'll ever laugh.
Stavros Halkias
Oh yeah, tripping.
Katie Nolan
Someone's getting mad at you for laughing.
Stavros Halkias
And then the old guy, there's like a. Some like devoutly like priests helper guy like. And the deacon there was like this like this poor guy was just some fat guy. That no one respect. I mean, the priest was fat as shit. I was fat. Half the altar boys were fat. But this guy's that kind of pathetic, traditional fat guy of, like, just weak. Had, like, had narcolepsy. Had narcolepsy. So he would just be talking to.
Eric Rahill
You and then just go, like, the narcoleptic deacon.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah. Just fucking with him was awesome.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
We had another deacon that stole from the church.
Eric Rahill
There's always one. There's always at least one.
Stavros Halkias
It was awesome. But, yeah. Anyway, all that to say was that. Yeah. And then, like, a really, like, one of the truly only good people that I grew up around got, like, inoperable brain cancer like, nine months before his grandson was about to be born. Or, like, you know, like, as soon as his, like, daughter. His daughter was trying to have kids, and they finally had one, and he just gets horrible fucking. And I was like, wait a second.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
This was bullshit. Like, he was like. Every Greek man I knew was a piece of shit except for him. Like, all my friends dads were, like, horrible. And he was the only one in, like, who was a loving husband and father. And he was like, the worst guys of all time are fucking just hanging out shop.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Running illegal poker games out of their garages. Like, cheating on their wives with this guy. It fucking sucks. I was like, oh, yeah, fuck this bullshit.
Eric Rahill
But all those rituals, like, the relics, the items, the scepters back in the Middle Ages that was used to impress the peasants who only had wood and fucking hay.
Stavros Halkias
Makes so much sense, dude. And it worked on me.
Eric Rahill
Now there's so much cool shit in the modern world that church is behind.
Stavros Halkias
You're so right.
Eric Rahill
So if the church got crazy tech that we can't understand, they need Elon Musk.
Stavros Halkias
They need fucking alter robots. But you're right. That's the equivalent. That's the equivalency. It would be like having you kind of get why Joel Osteen and those motherfuckers were, like, are, like, in these big mega churches that are. They're coming down from the fucking rafters like Peter Pan.
Katie Nolan
It's just like, the biggest room you've ever seen, and that's all it takes.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
God is so big.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. God must have wanted this to exist.
Eric Rahill
God's got to step up if he wants to come back in America. I agree.
Stavros Halkias
I agree. 911 didn't even do it. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
No, that. What's. Just for a second, it did.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
We need something worse or better.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, it might Be coming, brother.
Eric Rahill
Yo, things are good. I do think something fucking horrible is coming. Oh yeah, I think we are going to see. I have a prediction right now.
Katie Nolan
Ooh, I want to hear this.
Eric Rahill
Horrible. We are going to see something in our lifetimes that is more horrible. That is.
Katie Nolan
That's more horrible than what we're seeing now.
Eric Rahill
Oh, much, much, much more horrible. It's awful.
Stavros Halkias
Right now I remember this wasn't. You actually had this take during the movie.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
That we were going to see something that like our brains can't comprehend. Right.
Katie Nolan
Why do you remember?
Stavros Halkias
Isn't that what you were saying?
Eric Rahill
I remember saying that. But I do think that's coming.
Katie Nolan
That like our brain, body and spirit.
Eric Rahill
We can't understand it.
Stavros Halkias
It's going to be so hor and weird that it's gonna be upsetting. But it will be like upsetting on a level that like melts our brains like that we won't have the faculties to understand what's going on.
Eric Rahill
I pray for something like that. I want something interesting to happen again. I mean, horrible things are happening around the world.
Katie Nolan
Just kind of let you off the hook too.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Like it can't be. Yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
You just get to pass away, right?
Stavros Halkias
No, it would be something that completely shows the futility of our lives and our world. Like something like that that I pray for.
Eric Rahill
I want something to cut through this dimension, crack it open. We see God in a way. It's like we see different crazy 3D shapes, but it's actually a different dimension.
Katie Nolan
You're saying. Not in a good way. In a horror. Not like a celestial.
Eric Rahill
All of us, every human being seeing it at once.
Stavros Halkias
Yes. That was another thing. It's a communal thing. I remember you saying that it would be something that we all experience collectively and have no power over. Cannot control anything.
Katie Nolan
Be like an asteroid or something. Right.
Stavros Halkias
Even that though, I feel like is within our. He's talking about. That's within our understanding. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Incomprehensible. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
You got a word for it?
Stavros Halkias
Like even an even. Aliens, I think, aren't. They're close enough. Aliens are kind of a little passe.
Katie Nolan
A little passe. We know they're there.
Stavros Halkias
Although, what if it was an alien? Like it's an alien. Like everyone. We show our lack of imagination. We think it's like a fucking human looking thing. Green. It's green and has a big head.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
But if we had some kind of like fucked up slime that came from, you know, even that would do it. Or even a mist just to energy like Energy that just makes us feel bad. What if that's what a. Like there's so little. They don't.
Eric Rahill
Well, they could be fucking right. They could be the size of a pixel, you know? You see.
Stavros Halkias
Pixels, we understand.
Eric Rahill
Now. That's as small as it gets. I do think about, like, you know, how about, you know that Jim Carrey thought he was gonna die?
Stavros Halkias
Yes.
Eric Rahill
That he thought there was a missile alert, that these missiles were headed towards Hawaii, and he thought he was gonna. And he said that he just sat and watched the Hawaiian sunset and, like, thank God for everything that happened to him. I want something like that to happen to me.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, please.
Eric Rahill
If I could get that once a.
Stavros Halkias
Week, I'd be feeling good, but to really believe it.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, well, I'll be so scared.
Stavros Halkias
Don't you think eventually it would wear off maybe?
Eric Rahill
When's the last time you were hella scared? Like, I haven't been scared in a second. You know what I mean?
Stavros Halkias
Like a plane with horrible turbulence.
Eric Rahill
That was last time.
Stavros Halkias
You know, Something like that.
Eric Rahill
It's good to feel fear.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
We used to be afraid as, like, you know, early humans. We were afraid every fucking day.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
And then. I don't know. I think there's something to that.
Stavros Halkias
I think it's good to feel fear for actual reasons. What's fucked up is we feel. Feel like the level of we're about to die fear because you have to. They forgot your order and you have the waitress to put bacon on. Your steaks are different.
Katie Nolan
You don't like something and you have to tell someone about it.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, like, oh, no, I actually had the fucking. Oh, I took some breakfast. Ls this morning, headed over here, and I saw just the most obnoxious la. Like, you think you're gonna see, like, a rich guy in, like, a much younger world. Like a sugar daddy, sugar baby. You think that's gonna be everywhere. And you think in your head, distinguished rich guy. Maybe not the hottest guy, but handsome, and then like, just the hottest, you know, woman you've ever seen in your life. And, dude, I saw just the most obnoxious, lowest level of that at this fucking brunch place where this guy was just like, kind of like the Deacon fat as shit, you know what I mean? Kind of had like a Ceelo. A Ceelo Green vibe going. Like, really, really bootleg CEO.
Eric Rahill
He's got the worst build I've ever seen.
Stavros Halkias
Tough build, dude. And this guy was kind of dry, actually. Wasn't. Was it Ceelo? He was kind of dressed no ceelo could do better than this. He was kind of dressed like. CeeLo had a turtleneck. Like, truly horrible. Like, what he was wearing, not right for his frame. It was like he was wearing, like, a turtleneck, and he just looked like a round ball. He could, like, Gru. He was kind of dressed like Gru. Same proportions, just weird singing, like, kind of trying to peacock, like, singing along to the music. I'm sat right next to them, and the girl he's with is just not hot and acting obnoxious, Right? Has that, like, talking that baby voice type of shit. She's also, you know, much younger than him, but not that young. You know what I mean? And, like, some bad fillers going on. Like, kind of busted.
Katie Nolan
He's like, 33.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, exactly, 33. A nice age. A good age. But, like, busted, annoying. And, like, this is what happens. They get their breakfast comes, right? And by the way, this place sucked. I had to. I, like, whatever. I had a bad time. But their food looked good. Their food comes out. He orders over medium eggs. They come out hard fried. No, I'm sorry. He orders over easy. They come out over medium. She ordered over medium. They came out hard. Immediately they're like, this is. How dare they. They fucked our order up. And they're like. And it takes them. They don't put it together that he could have given her his over medium eggs and just asks for over easy ones. It takes them maybe, like, 12 minutes to put that together. No waitresses.
Katie Nolan
But they do do it.
Stavros Halkias
They don't. Well, so he's like, oh, wait, I could just give you. And she's like, I'm not having cold eggs.
Katie Nolan
That's very la.
Stavros Halkias
They're right.
Katie Nolan
What the fuck are you talking about, bitch?
Eric Rahill
Can I tell you, though, that I feel comforted by the fact that these people are real?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, well, that's what I. It's fun to see them for real. Because it is. Yeah, because. And also to see them the shittiest version of them.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
And then this guy, now that she's acting cunty, he's like, well, now I have to have a fucking power. Like, now my. This woman. I need to show dominance to the waitstaff. Because now.
Katie Nolan
Because then she's like, I'm embarrassed.
Stavros Halkias
And then she's like, I'm not exactly. Yeah. He's like, oh, how dare you? And then she's like, and I'm not touching my steaks. I'm attached to the rest of my food until the eggs come. And by the way, this guy.
Katie Nolan
Oh, she Got steak and eggs.
Stavros Halkias
She got steak and eggs. Looked kind of good.
Katie Nolan
Good for her.
Stavros Halkias
Anyway, they're about to talk to the waitress and I just get up because I'm like, I can't be around these. Like, I can't. I can't watch what's about to happen. I'm going. Cause I also hated the waiter, the wait staff because they. I'd been there for 15 minutes. No one had given me like water. So I was like about. And I knew myself. I hate everyone involved. And I'm sitting right next to them. I would have fucking. I would have piped up in a fucking weird way. I would have been so pissed. I'm hungry. I was like, I have to just. And I just got up and left. But it was fucking. Yeah. It was just the most beautiful la. Like these people are pieces of shit.
Eric Rahill
These people don't exist anywhere else. I don't think. I think is unique to this city.
Stavros Halkias
It was awesome though. And it's like just imagining them fucking too is disgusting. Like those people.
Eric Rahill
Those people, like going back like a second hand Casper. They got the nice bed. But it's like more secondhand than you think.
Stavros Halkias
And it's like, what did that guy do? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How is this guy rich to even be? It's. It's a funny place. People are still trying to become and they think they're kind of being. They think they're like behaving the way they should too.
Eric Rahill
Right. Well, that's what I. That's what I admire is that like I kind of had thought that Juicy Couture style. Mall rat.
Stavros Halkias
Mm.
Eric Rahill
People were gone.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
That passed away years ago. But then you come here and they're in it and they're so proud of it.
Stavros Halkias
Oh yeah.
Eric Rahill
You just. I'm almost like. I'd like to be friends with a few of them because I don't know any. You know what I mean?
Stavros Halkias
Well, that's the thing. I didn't really respect them because they weren't good enough. There was artifice. They were pretending to play their roles. Neither one of those people is who they're pretending to be. She maybe was this eight years ago, 2016. He clearly. Exactly. Whatever the fuck. Yeah. Whatever the fuck he did is over. You know what I mean? Whatever got him. So they're both protected. But I love when people are purely just pieces of shit with no thought. Yeah. Just. That's what it's gotta be. You're truly behaving how you are.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
It's beautiful.
Katie Nolan
Proud, confident.
Stavros Halkias
See? No Problem with it. Love seeing that.
Katie Nolan
I love how confident people are in la.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
You know, I admire it so.
Eric Rahill
Cause I have none.
Stavros Halkias
So.
Eric Rahill
It's just so nice to see someone.
Katie Nolan
I met a lot of women, like, you know, out and about or jobs I've had. And there are like. There's so many women, like, starting foundations.
Stavros Halkias
That's a fun.
Katie Nolan
Another thing where they're like, great girl. Is like just a foundation for Thailand.
Stavros Halkias
Just the concept.
Eric Rahill
Let's please help Thailand.
Katie Nolan
Helping Thai people. I think they're actually, like, not that bad.
Stavros Halkias
They're doing all right.
Katie Nolan
Very, very well.
Stavros Halkias
It's a beautiful place.
Eric Rahill
Bitcoin account. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
But like, just the confidence of like, saying that out loud to like a table full of people. I long for that kind of.
Stavros Halkias
And think and being what they started. That is to be in a meeting where everyone has to listen to them and they have to give a couple orders and nothing will ever come of it. But there will be three meetings where, you know, that woman comes in in a fucking pantsuit. Pretend. And then the lunch where she's like, ah, this foundation. It's so hard. I just. But it's important work. You know what I mean? Like, pretending it's something she has to do.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
That's what they start.
Katie Nolan
And that people want her to do it. Six months later, she's like, what?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
So do people not do that? I've never lived in New York. Are people not like that? Like, in New York? They're not that.
Eric Rahill
I'm sure they're in Manhattan and Williamsburg and.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, I guess. But I guess this is a much more. I just feel like that definitely exists.
Katie Nolan
But I feel like reality.
Stavros Halkias
I guess I like to say that it's classier.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
You know, like, I think. I honestly just think this is me showing my bias. But I think, like, I also think the sugar daddies are just actually high powered. There's no pretending in New York. You know what I mean? Like here, it's a city of pretending. And the sugar babies are like, hot as shit. But also like, they've gamed out the system and they're like, well, it's either this or get a job. I don't want to do that. You know what I mean? And they're just about their. Like, I know girls who are just like, it's like the most lucrative job. It's like, well, I'd be dating guys like this anyway. And this way it's like. And I just feel like I just respect everyone involved more because it's about, like, you know, time is money. No, it's not to show off. It's like, I want to fuck a young girl and I want. And the girl's like, well, I want like a purse. You know what I mean? It's like. And this is the quickest, this is the quickest way for both of us to do this kind of thing. It's a more practicality, I think here.
Eric Rahill
Though, these people have what is called real true freedom because it's like Cypher in the Matrix where I feel like he like makes a deal with Mr. Smith, you know what I mean? To like not be aware of the Matrix anymore. And he gets to eat the steak and he's like, it tastes fucking good. We are all in the Matrix and we're in heaven and these people aren't.
Katie Nolan
Is that what you're saying?
Eric Rahill
They're like out of. They're in the.
Katie Nolan
That's what I want.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
We want, we need to be Cypher.
Stavros Halkias
Nice.
Katie Nolan
I want to be starting businesses.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Just like not have any self awareness.
Stavros Halkias
No, you're right. You're absolutely fucking right about that. I, I like, there must have been like, what's the delusion like in the. All the church people, they must have been like, were they all. All in or did part of them. Do you think there was ever. People are like, I hope this is real.
Eric Rahill
I don't know. A lot of them are. We're all all in. And on top of no self awareness, they get righteousness, which is the ultimate drug.
Stavros Halkias
That does feel good.
Eric Rahill
Yes.
Katie Nolan
But they're like superior to.
Eric Rahill
They're so superior by being more moral. And I think that.
Stavros Halkias
But.
Eric Rahill
And they're also cheating and. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're still getting it in.
Katie Nolan
But being righteous, there's always the people that are like, you know, they end up like on a date line or something. They're always doing like your creepy sex for sure stuff.
Stavros Halkias
Any fun scandals?
Eric Rahill
Let's see, there was a. My friend. This might be too close to home. I was in a wedding with a guy.
Stavros Halkias
Okay, never mind who.
Eric Rahill
I was like, in the groom's party, whatever. This guy was like getting married to one of the youth leaders from our church. But she was like four years older than he was or five years older. And he was like 15 when they met. And she was like, oh, hell yeah, dude. So. And I was in the wedding, but as it turned out, she had done that to more boys.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, female pedophile.
Eric Rahill
And I was in the wedding in a Brooks Brothers suit with a pink tie.
Stavros Halkias
This Woman in front of pre.
Eric Rahill
I don't know. I don't know exactly how far it went. And if that person is listening, who is in that.
Stavros Halkias
Sure.
Eric Rahill
I'm sorry.
Stavros Halkias
Allegedly.
Eric Rahill
But I always knew she wasn't the one.
Stavros Halkias
Did they break out? They get the point.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, she.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, she started doing some PSAT tutoring.
Eric Rahill
He got out of there, though. That's the good news. That was like. But at the time, I was like, let him be with her. Like, that's true love.
Stavros Halkias
I was like, yeah, like, you must have been out. Were you, like, thinking you would, like, marry some girl you dated when you were like, 18?
Eric Rahill
I. Well, maybe. Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
I thought I would get.
Stavros Halkias
You're still a bit of a monot. Like you've been in a. Oh, yeah.
Eric Rahill
For a while.
Stavros Halkias
That's kind of. Yeah, the church put that in your head.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, totally.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. But it's all right. You're doing good.
Eric Rahill
It's all good.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
But, yeah, their scandal. I mean, yeah, those places are evil. Church.
Stavros Halkias
And when did you completely knock out of it when you were.
Eric Rahill
I mean, it was like after that mission trip, right? Where those boys. But there was a moment where I went to Washington D.C. on like a school trip or something, and I went to a museum and there was like this. And I was like, full atheist at the time. And I walked into this dark room with. It was like we were in like the religious section of the museum.
Stavros Halkias
You're knocking over books. Yeah, so piss. I'm with the devil.
Eric Rahill
So I went into this one room and it was like a tiny. And it was dark, and then there was like low light on this small picture of Jesus on the cross. And I remember going in there and being like, oh, fuck, I was wrong. Like, I remember what he did for me. I got full body chills. And for like one or two days I was like, I'm Christian again. And then pretty quickly I started drinking again and getting back into my lifestyle. You know what I mean? I was back for about two days. Boozing that painting.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, boozing. Didn't you also get into Adderall heavy at that age?
Eric Rahill
Yeah, I was at Vyvanse.
Katie Nolan
I remember you talking about that.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, that was awesome.
Eric Rahill
I got Vyvansed out. I lost about 40 pounds. Stop laughing.
Katie Nolan
Did you do, like. You, like, showed us a picture.
Eric Rahill
I was down to 125 pounds.
Stavros Halkias
You were so little and you also were like a Shakespeare guy.
Eric Rahill
Very serious actor. I was, like, tired of not being taken seriously and so I wouldn't laugh or talk to Anyone? I was having like mind melting panic attacks from the Vyvanse. My doctor was like telling me he was like 80 years old and had been one of the first Ritalin children. And so he was like, nah, it's not the Vyvanse, dude. It's obviously making you lose weight. You're doing awesome in school. You began becoming a lead actor. So he upped the Vyvanse doses. He upped it and then. But gave me Xanax, Ambien, antidepressants. So I was like 100% drugged out.
Stavros Halkias
You were like 95%. You were like the same bloodstream as Michael Jackson hours before dying.
Eric Rahill
Yeah. To do like the most busted school play you've ever seen in your life.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Doing Chekhov at 17 where I kill myself in the play and have a breakdown afterwards. Yeah, yeah. And it's like literally the last scene of that play, Ivanov. I have to go like, shoot myself in the head.
Stavros Halkias
You must actually been awesome at that scene.
Eric Rahill
Maybe you actually wanted to kill yourself pretty bad.
Stavros Halkias
I think I actually really did crush that scene.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
Damn, dude, that's fucking awesome. And I love to put that in the context of fresh off of being an evangelical Christian, you become a fucking mathed out Shakespeare twink. Like right afterwards.
Eric Rahill
Obsessed with Tegan and Sarah.
Stavros Halkias
And Sarah, straight 17 year old MGMT.
Eric Rahill
Tegan and Sarah, so serious, very upset with the world, Become very liberal.
Stavros Halkias
That's so fucking loving.
Eric Rahill
Obama. So happy with what he's doing.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, absolutely, dude. Oh, I got swept up, bro. I remember trying to like. It's so awesome. Obama won.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Trying to get pussy, like, trying to. Obama's the man. My way into some pussy as a freshman in college being like, yeah, isn't this a special historical moment? Can you come over to celebrate?
Katie Nolan

Stavros Halkias
No, that's okay.
Katie Nolan
You're.
Stavros Halkias
I'm sorry to make you follow him. Getting addicted to fucking vibrant amphetamines.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Pretty early, by the way. That wasn't like.
Katie Nolan
That's impressive.
Stavros Halkias
I feel like Vyvanse really took off later. You're an early adopter.
Eric Rahill
It was Limitless style. It really was.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
The first time you take that, you're like, this is the limitless pill.
Eric Rahill
I'm locked in. Yeah, right.
Stavros Halkias
One of those cold brew. A cold brew?
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Half a dick pill. That's the limitless pill right there by Vance. Dude, you're the man. Dude, you're seeing every. You're looking at the matri.
Eric Rahill
You fucking writing the worst shit anyone's ever heard.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, fuck, that is awesome. But nothing. Did you ever get in trouble as a rebellious youth or were you a good kid?
Katie Nolan
I was a good kid. I did ballet, so I was always at ballet.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
So I was a good little girl.
Stavros Halkias
Did they fucking yell at you for being too fat?
Katie Nolan
Absolutely. Absolutely did. Yeah. Vicious eating disorder.
Stavros Halkias
Was she like a Russian lady? What kind of lady?
Katie Nolan
Yeah, no, she was. My main one was a Russian lady. And they would just scream.
Stavros Halkias
Classic.
Katie Nolan
They would scream at you and they did it like the Russian style. So it's. So you had to like. You'd be like little. Little kid and you get behind between the Bar and the wall. So that you would stay.
Stavros Halkias
Oh my God. If you couldn't get behind and if you couldn't fit.
Katie Nolan
I mean, thank God I did fit, but it wasn't easy to get behind.
Stavros Halkias
Did you watch like a little fat girl get chewed out ever?
Katie Nolan
You know, I hate to say that. For a lot of the classes, like, I was probably the biggest one.
Stavros Halkias
What?
Katie Nolan
And I wasn't even that big.
Stavros Halkias
You're one of the smallest people I've.
Katie Nolan
Ever like, I just wasn't.
Stavros Halkias
Like, you obviously now are disgu. No, she's pregnant. I was like, no, you've gotten it now.
Katie Nolan
I'm huge.
Stavros Halkias
Disgusting. Since the last. Bigger than I've ever been carrying a.
Katie Nolan
Gained 30 pounds since I last saw you.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, 30 pounds of just useless weight. No, I'm kidding.
Katie Nolan
Don't call her that.
Stavros Halkias
I'm so sorry. I fucked up so, so bad. But no, you look like you're small as a. Like you're pregnant. You're eight months pregnant. You're like small still. So I can't imagine what you look like as a 8 year old. You were the biggest one. That's fucking crazy.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, it was pretty brutal.
Stavros Halkias
And that was your thing. You were about.
Katie Nolan
That was my thing. I wanted to be a bit. Yeah. I wanted to be a ballerina more than anything.
Stavros Halkias
And then that's a very classic little girl desire. It's like one of the most.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, I just the most like, cliche girl.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. But you know, that's nice. Yeah, that's fun to do.
Katie Nolan
That is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think of other fun things. My dad designed prisons.
Stavros Halkias
That's the biggest thing. That's so crazy.
Katie Nolan
I feel like that's key to know.
Eric Rahill
Did you ever get to go in there and like draw on the like.
Katie Nolan
You know, I did go a couple times. Cause he'd have to go like, you know, he'd go every weekend.
Stavros Halkias
Oh my God. And we put in a little nook here for raping each other away from the guard's eyes. You know, it's for the prisoner too. You know, they gotta have a good time.
Katie Nolan
Tell me that. Like a lot of women's like, you gotta watch out. Because a lot of women in prison, they're there because of their man. They're there because they did something.
Eric Rahill
He designed female prisons. Women's prisons.
Katie Nolan
Both in Illinois. Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
How do you get into. He's an architect.
Katie Nolan
He's an architect and an engineer. And he did like. He worked for the state for like other government buildings and then I think he saw like a power niche in prison.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. He was like, oop, this is where I fit in.
Katie Nolan
He went from like government parking structures to prison.
Stavros Halkias
That's fucking.
Eric Rahill
Did he put anything sick in there for them? Like, I hope so. Special way.
Katie Nolan
Like a nice cafeteria.
Eric Rahill
Monkey bars.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, that would be fucking funny. That's so funny. To just be like, ah. What does that do to you psychologically for like the thing you work on is like designed for essentially torture people.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
I don't know if he thought about. I wonder what he thought. He definitely didn't think about it like that.
Stavros Halkias
No, no, no chance, no chance.
Katie Nolan
I think he's like a philosophical thinker like that.
Stavros Halkias
You can if you're gonna design, if.
Katie Nolan
You'Re gonna do it.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Every line, every stroke of his, like every like click on AutoCAD.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, exactly.
Stavros Halkias
It's like people got closer to being like the most depressed they've ever been in their lives. He created sadness with every click of his mouse.
Eric Rahill
It's like ye to like Dave Matthews.
Katie Nolan
Frank Sinatra.
Eric Rahill
Yeah. Late nights. We both worked on floating prisons. We both worked on cruise ships.
Stavros Halkias
That is. Yes. That is insane. That I definitely wanted to. That is. You did improv on boats?
Katie Nolan
Did you do the murder mystery?
Eric Rahill
No, I never had to do the murder mystery. Never got to do the murder mystery.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, I had. I did that murder mystery.
Stavros Halkias
Cuz you both basically. You did improvise. Improv through like, what was it the same company? Yeah. Second City was on Second City. The Second City.
Eric Rahill
Chicago.
Stavros Halkias
The Second City on. In Aruba.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Aruba chapter of Second City, Cape Canaveral, Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. That's where all those were. Yeah, that's.
Katie Nolan
I actually liked.
Stavros Halkias
Did you grow up in Chicago? I did. Yes. You did. That's right.
Katie Nolan
I actually kind of liked it. I liked meeting all those weird people.
Stavros Halkias
That's the craziest thing I've heard.
Katie Nolan
I think I was probably pretty unhappy, like in my life.
Stavros Halkias
Your life was bad, you know, So.
Katie Nolan
I didn't like put it together that I shouldn't like this.
Stavros Halkias
It can't be going good if you agree to do improv on a cruise ship.
Katie Nolan
No, I know.
Eric Rahill
You know, you say that though, but when I got the job, it was a thrills I've ever gotten in my life. I was like, it's about to work out.
Stavros Halkias
It's happening.
Katie Nolan
You can envision yourself doing like all the other Second City stuff. You're like, this is a first step. They brainwashed you.
Stavros Halkias
Snl coming right up.
Eric Rahill
Literally. I Couldn't believe it.
Stavros Halkias
Are there any historical examples of the cruise ship cast going on? What's the. Who's the most successful?
Eric Rahill
Who's done cruise ships?
Stavros Halkias
Because I'm sure there are.
Eric Rahill
80 have done cruise ships.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, there you go.
Eric Rahill
Hella people who went through Chicago.
Katie Nolan
Thomas Middleditch did one.
Eric Rahill
Oh yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Nice.
Katie Nolan
Maybe.
Stavros Halkias
Maybe he was up to some freaky stuff on no Doubt. When there's no laws on the ocean. International waters. That's why Middle Ditch wanted to get in there.
Katie Nolan
I don't want to think about that.
Stavros Halkias
Oh man.
Eric Rahill
Many, many amazing talents.
Stavros Halkias
A man of many interests. That's so funny.
Katie Nolan
I did one with Scotty Nelson.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, he's in the movie. That's awesome.
Katie Nolan
We had a blast.
Stavros Halkias
And you liked. You had.
Katie Nolan
I didn't like the shows. I hated doing the shows.
Stavros Halkias
Oh really? There was the lifestyle.
Eric Rahill
I love.
Katie Nolan
The lifesty. I love just like. Because you're partying.
Stavros Halkias
Sure.
Katie Nolan
You know.
Stavros Halkias
How old were you guys when you did it?
Eric Rahill
I was like 24.
Stavros Halkias
24. How old were you? Oh yeah, that is a great. That's true. Because I'm thinking about what I was doing in 24, 25 and it was. I was living in a $300 a month room in Baltimore doing fucking stand up comedy in like shitty bars. It's like I was living that and getting fucked up constantly. I was basically just doing what you guys are talking about.
Katie Nolan
But you were in a bikini.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, I didn't get enough sun. Yeah. Yeah. That's fucking hilarious. Was it? Yeah. Cuz everyone's just getting fucked up and.
Eric Rahill
There'S a heckler that died.
Stavros Halkias
You're the grim reaper, bro.
Katie Nolan
People would all like. We had a couple people on the ship die.
Eric Rahill
They're always like, people die more than you think.
Katie Nolan
And there's a lot of crimes too.
Eric Rahill
There's more. There's a morgue on the ship.
Stavros Halkias
That makes sense. You kind of have to do.
Katie Nolan
There was this like.
Stavros Halkias
So you all. You both experienced ship death? Yes.
Katie Nolan
Yes.
Stavros Halkias
Wow.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
I mean it makes sense. It's always the oldest, fattest people that go to crew on cruises.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, right. People go on them today. It's cheaper than a retirement home. So they just go on non stop. They need those people that like don't.
Katie Nolan
Have a house anymore. They're just like, we're gonna.
Stavros Halkias
It's cheaper. It's cheaper. And guess what? Meals included. That's how people look at it. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
That's nuts.
Eric Rahill
It's wild.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Undignified country that it's like, makes more.
Eric Rahill
Sense Put them on a fucking shit.
Stavros Halkias
And then there's 24 year olds doing fucking, doing fucking.
Eric Rahill
The worst improv you've ever seen.
Stavros Halkias
Horrible. I mean, the worst.
Katie Nolan
The worst. They didn't let me do anything really. Like in the sketch shows, like, I pretty much just stood there and smiled.
Stavros Halkias
We need some eye candy.
Katie Nolan
Like, I remember getting objectified for boat improv. I know. The lowest, the lowest. Lois. And being excited to do.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, it was so funny. I was so like brainwashed by this shit that like when I got onto the cruise ship and you go under the stage on the cruise ship. You know like those scenes in movies where like an actor comes out into the giant. No one's in the seats in this beautiful theater yet. And they walk out onto stage and you can hear their shoes clacking. That's what I did. Like the moment we got on the cruise ship. But it's like the most busted theater you've ever seen. There's like Bacardi signs.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Katie Nolan
And people are coming, coming to the shows. Like straight from the pool of like wetsuit.
Stavros Halkias
It smells like chlorine and fucking barbecue sauce.
Eric Rahill
Kids peeing. Yeah, it's like Korea. It's awful.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, that's so funny.
Katie Nolan
I have a fun story about a guy. I met this guy. Cause you're not supposed to like, you know, hook up with.
Stavros Halkias
You're not supposed to hook up. What's even.
Eric Rahill
The pool.
Katie Nolan
That's the rule. That's like the one rule you can't.
Stavros Halkias
That's crazy. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
But I met this guy and I thought he was the coolest. And he was a cop. He was like a young cop.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, Jesus Christ.
Katie Nolan
And we were like. I feel like I was very lost. Like I was very out of touch with.
Stavros Halkias
Oh my God, anything.
Katie Nolan
But he like wanted to hang out, like when we ported in Tampa. Because you have like one port day where you would be like in some random city from like 8am to 1:30 and he was. He like took me out to breakfast and then he had like all these guns in his car. I was like, ah. And he's like, don't worry about it. I'm a cop. It doesn't matter.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, yeah, yeah. I have all these. Yeah. I just get really pissed if people don't do what I say.
Katie Nolan
Exactly. Driving so fast.
Eric Rahill
I got a fucking family improv show at 6:00.
Katie Nolan
You're like, I can't miss the thing. Yeah. And he took me to some like little area and let me shoot guns.
Eric Rahill
Oh my God, that's crazy.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
It was like, I also could have died 100%.
Stavros Halkias
That's kind of crazy. You did.
Eric Rahill
You might have been close.
Katie Nolan
I think so. Because we were getting, you know, it was getting close to the time I had to be back. And he kept wanting to, like, take me somewhere else, I think to hook up, because we never actually did.
Stavros Halkias
For sure. That's what it was.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. But I was like, I want breakfast and I want to shoot guns, but I don't. I didn't really want to hook up with him.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's also a crazy. Like, just met someone belly full of omelet. Like, that's not really Tampa. Tis middle of the day. It's hot. That's not prime hot.
Eric Rahill
Full.
Stavros Halkias
So was he done? Was he off the. That was where he disembarked. Tampa.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. He lived. And he was a Florida cop.
Stavros Halkias
Gotcha.
Katie Nolan
So cute.
Stavros Halkias
He's probably up to some really cool stuff right now.
Eric Rahill
Good guy.
Stavros Halkias
He's probably been. I would love to see that guy post the last couple years.
Katie Nolan
He gave me a stuffed animal as a present to say goodbye. It was like a stuffed German shepherd.
Stavros Halkias
German shepherd, even. That even is, like, the cute stuff in his life is like. Like, used to arrest people. That's so funny. Oh, my God.
Katie Nolan
So I. Yeah, I loved it.
Stavros Halkias
How long. How long did you do that for?
Katie Nolan
I. Our contracts were four months. And now that I'm saying it out loud, like, publicly, I guess I probably was really miserable in my life because I did it for 10 months.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, wow. Yeah. 10 months. Two tours of duty. Yeah, two and a half tours of duty. How do you do the half?
Katie Nolan
You just leave halfway through, injured. This girl hurt her leg.
Stavros Halkias
Who do we got whose life is worse than this? What were you up to? You were just, like, young in Chicago life.
Katie Nolan
No, I mean, I actually had a boyfriend, but I just, like, wasn't.
Stavros Halkias
You didn't want to be in that relationship?
Katie Nolan
No, I didn't want to live in Chicago. I think I worked at Groupon, and.
Stavros Halkias
I just like, oh, yeah, I forgot about the halcyon days of Groupon.
Katie Nolan
Did you ever work there?
Eric Rahill
No, I worked at grubhub. No, it's literally hell.
Katie Nolan
Oh, my God.
Eric Rahill
Improv on ships and working for $16 an hour. Yeah, I feel like Chicago.
Katie Nolan
I mean, I grew up there, so I never chose to move there.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Katie Nolan
But got, like, really brainwashed into staying.
Stavros Halkias
It's a good city. I mean, it's as good. You can stay there and, like, have almost everything bigger, like, New York or la? Because other than New York or la, it is. I think it's next up, I guess.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, Atlanta is pretty cool, too. Like, it's those cities that are, like, they have enough of the real shit that you can make a real career. And, like, even in entertainment, I think you could figure it out with some traveling. So I get it. And it's a cool city. A lot of artsy shit. Great. Its own culture, its own, like, really strong. So I get it. I understand why, like, Baltimore, I was never gonna stay. For me, I was like, I'm so clearly moving to New York. It's. I mean, I actually thought about moving to, like, briefly, but then I was like, I can't. Yeah, I can't do that shit.
Eric Rahill
But I think there is a difference with improv, though. If you're doing improv for 15 years in the same city in Chicago, you need to go see a doctor, because it's like, something's up.
Stavros Halkias
But you could get into. Act like. You know what I mean? Like.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, but a lot of people don't.
Stavros Halkias
True. That's fucking insane that you would do improv for improv's sake in Chicago. I mean, anywhere to be. No disrespect, you know, but it was.
Eric Rahill
Hella fun for a minute now.
Katie Nolan
No, I would never. I said a year ago, I was like, I don't think I ever want to do this again.
Eric Rahill
I don't know.
Stavros Halkias
But it's so funny to me because, like, improv seems like it's like a training exercise for other things. Yeah. Like, it's good to have. It's good to be able to do it on your feet and. But I also think there's different ways to get good at it. But everybody goes through this. Like, so. I mean, some of the funniest people come out of improv training. It's true. You know what I mean? Like, and you guys are. You are hilarious in the fucking movie. Everybody watch the movie. Let's not forget why we're here. Let's start a cult how we got here. But also it's like, yeah. And then you go into acting and you use those skills to be funny or even just to write, you know, even scripts or it's like.
Katie Nolan
Or to be present.
Stavros Halkias
To be right in the moment. To be in the moment, Right? And this is where you start losing me again. This is where I go back and saying, improv sucks.
Eric Rahill
No, dude, it's amazing. Yeah. Change changes lives.
Stavros Halkias
But, yeah. Yeah, we should. This. We've had so much fun we have not. We should do some actual questions, but we could fucking. We got to do it again. Maybe when I come back here. You're. You're. You live here now and you're gonna have a small child. There's no way you're gonna be.
Katie Nolan
I'll bring her on.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, bring her across. Bring her to New York, Bring a baby across country. But, yeah, this is so fun, guys. But let's. Let's take some of your expert. Look. Very rarely, wait. Very rarely have we had two people that did cruise ships.
Katie Nolan
That makes such good choices.
Eric Rahill
People have been waiting for something like.
Stavros Halkias
This, waiting for this perspective on the.
Katie Nolan
Podcast Boundaries and advocating for themselves.
Eric Rahill
Let's help them out.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, but, yeah, play us. Play us some. And our good pal Eldest folks has sent Mystery Mo. He has sent him 10. I mean, we probably won't get to all of them, but he sent some voicemails, so. So I can't wait to see Eldest fuck this up. Just from a completely different coast and not being here. So let's see what he's got for us. What's our first question here, Mo? Do I say it and then play it or just play it? Just play it.
Eric Rahill
Hey, stuff.
Stavros Halkias
Eldest and esteemed guests, I'm calling about.
Eric Rahill
A girl I've been seeing for a while.
Stavros Halkias
Her shower routine isn't necessarily every day. She usually showers when she needs to or right before coming to see me. And usually she'll spend the entire weekend with me. And it's after a while she's not, you know, clean. It gets a little musky down there, I should say. So I guess my question is how do I. How do I tell her that the reason I'm not eating her out is because her pussy stinks? She gives incredible blowjobs? This is what Eldis starts the fucking call like. This is our first. This is our first question.
Katie Nolan
I think this one is easy. This is easy.
Stavros Halkias
Okay.
Katie Nolan
I read in a magazine what you should do.
Stavros Halkias
Okay, great. This is actually very helpful because, believe it or not, we've gotten this question multiple times on this podcast. So please, what is the magazine say?
Katie Nolan
Okay, so the magazines say what the guy should do. Or whoever. Whoever's about to. They're like, you know what? I pee.
Stavros Halkias
You.
Katie Nolan
No, you're supposed to gently be like.
Stavros Halkias
Oh.
Katie Nolan
Pretend to vomit.
Stavros Halkias
You're supposed to have, like, oatmeal in your mouth and go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Katie Nolan
I think you're.
Stavros Halkias
Christ.
Katie Nolan
You're gently supposed to be like, you know what I think would be really sexy Right now is if we both took a shower.
Stavros Halkias
Oh. I mean, that's like trying to get a baby to eat fucking vegetables. If you don't know what's going on there, that's insane. But, I mean, that's what the magazine says.
Katie Nolan
That's what the. I mean. Yeah, I feel like I've seen that on Reddit. I've seen it in magazines.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Never had this issue myself, personally. No one's ever suggested a shower to.
Stavros Halkias
Me, but I have one time someone asked me to wash my dick in the sink, and then you know what? I deserved it.
Eric Rahill
And he did it.
Stavros Halkias
I had an active day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuz, you know, active.
Eric Rahill
What can you do so much? So many of us are trying to be active. You know what I mean?
Stavros Halkias
It was terrible. It was very funny because it was like. She was like. The energy was like, work with me here. You know what I mean? It was like. It really was like, I want to give you head, but can you just meet me halfway? Throw a little dial soap on that brick orange dial.
Katie Nolan
That's so harsh.
Eric Rahill
You just pretend you're, you know, back in. Probably before 1800 and 1900, that was everybody. And that was part of. Part of it, and they were still getting it, and they were. They were procreating.
Stavros Halkias
Yes.
Eric Rahill
Just pretend you're in a thatched.
Katie Nolan
Sure, I like that. Or can't you just kind of like, not breathe through your nose or something?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, you could probably. Yeah. Don't get your tongue involved. Eat pussy with your bottom lip. Don't taste or smell it. Yeah, that's really funny to just be like.
Katie Nolan
No. No sound at all because you can't make any.
Eric Rahill
You like that.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, that's crazy. So did we miss anything? Is there a transcription available, Mo. Or did Eldis just send you the. He probably just sent you the files because he's bad at his job. God, I hate eldest. Okay. Yeah, yeah. What do we got? She started. Notice I'm not returning the faith. And I even lightly suggest, like, hey, maybe, you know, you can hop in the shower before we do this. Or, you know, before she says no, I'm okay. I think I'm all right.
Eric Rahill
So.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, I just want to know what I should do. Good. How I should bring this up to her. No, I'm good.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, I think that's it.
Stavros Halkias
Love the podcast. All right, thanks. So hilarious.
Katie Nolan
If she's not gonna get the shower hand. If she's not get the shower hand. You have to be more direct with.
Eric Rahill
That's a. Sit down. Yeah, yeah. Take her to Kava. Really serious. Hey, pay for her cava.
Stavros Halkias
Get her whatever she wants on that.
Eric Rahill
Extra scoops of hummus. Whatever you want, girl. I need to tell you something. That doesn't smell right.
Stavros Halkias
That's so. I mean, sometimes you are dealing with dirt balls. There are people who just don't shower enough.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
That exists.
Eric Rahill
Or they don't know how to shower. Right.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
I mean, you're just stepping in and kind of getting wet.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
You're not scrubbing.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Do you use a washcloth?
Stavros Halkias
I'm not a washcloth guy.
Eric Rahill
I don't do it enough, but I know I can feel a difference when I do that.
Stavros Halkias
I just disrespect the soap.
Katie Nolan
You're putting it. You're thorough.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, I'm thorough. It's getting in there.
Katie Nolan
That's good.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, it's just bar soap. I'm a bar soap guy. Like, I'm in jail.
Katie Nolan
What brand?
Stavros Halkias
I'm in gentle.
Katie Nolan
Okay, good.
Stavros Halkias
No, no. With dial days are over. The Irish spring days are over.
Katie Nolan
Good.
Stavros Halkias
This is dove with some kind of little lotion and shit. I got. I get it at Costco. By the fucking. By the palate, essentially. I have soap for. I have soap for six months. I have something last me. After the atrocious thing that you're predicting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
You'll need to make an offering after.
Stavros Halkias
The Eric event happens.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
After the Rahill apocalypse.
Eric Rahill
It's coming.
Stavros Halkias
So yeah. You gotta sit her down and be like, look. Or this is one of those things where it's like, you know, vote with your mouth. Make if you're just stop eating pussy. And if it comes up, be like, look, I tried to get you to shower.
Katie Nolan
I guess that's my question. Is she asking him to do this?
Stavros Halkias
Maybe he just wants to eat, but he could be an eater. It could be something he's really into.
Katie Nolan
I always think of those guys though, who are really into it. They are. They love it.
Stavros Halkias
Like, whatever stated those guys might. There's guys who are like, like get in there.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Go work out the French style. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Katie Nolan
Go out, sit cross legged for a couple hours.
Stavros Halkias
Absolutely. Get some nice probiotics in your diet. Eat plenty of yogurt. So yeah, man, just. You gotta talk to her. And ultimately this could. This is the kind of thing that could be a deal breaker. Not hygiene. Not aligning on hygiene legitimately could be a deal breaker also just down the line, you know what I mean? It starts with her pussy. What's her house look like? You know what I mean? Does she keep a clean kitchen? What's the strainer in her kitchen look like? How much?
Eric Rahill
And a little bit of hair. You know when you pull that out and it rinse.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Little fucking veggies. Little fucking bits of bacon and shit. Get me the fuck out of here.
Eric Rahill
Hell nah. Could be a sign.
Stavros Halkias
Good luck.
Eric Rahill
This could be God speaking to you through her. Through that thing.
Stavros Halkias

Eldis
Hi. So I've been seeing this guy. We've gone on about like four or five dates now. And on our third date, we had our first kiss. He was. He offered to drop me off at home. So we were in the car and we started kissing. And all of a sudden I felt, I mean, I. He was kind of started moaning and then I realized he had pain. And so, you know, I was a little taken aback, but I didn't say anything or like make a big deal about it, right? I just kind of said good night, whatever. And I thought like, maybe that's just a one off type thing. So then I'D seen him a few times since then and basically like the same thing keeps happening. Basically when we've kissed, he just comes very quickly and just pants. I don't know how to say it. And so I guess I'm wondering like, do I. I mean, I don't know now it's been like three times. So is this the pattern? Do I like, give him more of a pattern? We haven't been intimate. We've literally just kissed. So I'm not sure what to do here. Also, I mean, I like him a lot. Like, other than that he's. We have a lot in common. I think we want the same things. He's very kind, very sweet, successful. He's a doctor. Like, he's very smart. He's also a lot older, a little older than me. He's like 42 and I'm 28. So I don't know, I would think he would kind of like have this under control by now.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Eldis
But anyway, I'm just wondering your thoughts and what if I should like give him another chance or, you know, I don't know if I should just like cut my losses at this point.
Stavros Halkias
This is fucking crazy. Yeah. Thanks. Wow.
Eric Rahill
The hands free bus.
Stavros Halkias
Incredible. Three times in a row.
Katie Nolan
Oh my God.
Stavros Halkias
And also she's like. He started moaning. You're kissing.
Eric Rahill
How can she tell by the way, is it coming through the pants?
Katie Nolan
That's what I was wondering too.
Eric Rahill
Or is it like a kind of a jerk?
Stavros Halkias
I mean, I do think like a moan. And the energy. There is an energy that changes after you bust.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
I think like the kissing style, it's a piece. Certain pieces you just feel and be like. Like I've never, I've never busted while making out with someone, but I assume it you would be able to tell.
Eric Rahill
One time I went to a. On Christmas day after my parents got divorced, I went to a Korean sauna with my friends because I couldn't go. I didn't want to go home. There was no place to go.
Stavros Halkias
I get that.
Eric Rahill
And so, and this guy was sitting next to me in the hot tub and he was doing like the cricket thing with his legs.
Stavros Halkias
Ah, jacking himself off with his thighs. Yes.
Eric Rahill
I don't know if he busted, but I was like, I've never seen this style of technique before. So I'd be curious to know, is he doing the cricket while you think.
Stavros Halkias
That guy's jack keep on his legs. Sure, sure.
Eric Rahill
But if it is truly just a hands free style bust.
Stavros Halkias
That's wild.
Eric Rahill
That's also a Problem.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, it's. There's a lot going on here, right? Like the fact that, okay, the first time. Okay, here's the first piece of information. We gotta be Sherlock Holmes a little bit on this show because you don't. You only get these voicemails. Three dates, first kiss. He's 42.
Katie Nolan
Interesting.
Stavros Halkias
He's 42, she's 28. Three dates. Dr. Right. My read on this guy, nerd that never got pussy in his life, right? Finally just sort of feels comfortable. Honestly. This might be the first time he's ever gone out with a hot girl and he doesn't know what to fucking do. It's very possible that this guy is stuck. I mean, I don't know. Dr. 42. There's a type of guy who all he's ever done is go to school. Whatever, whatever. His family's very strict. Didn't date. Was a geek. Didn't date. Fast forward to now and who knows how he met a. For maybe. Maybe apps. Actually apps for a guy like this might be. You know, he might look a lot better on paper because maybe he's even kind of. You know, guys sometimes hit their stride at 40, especially if they're dorks. You know, he's handsome. He's a fucking doctor. He probably is a classy guy. Like you said, he's very kind. He's not even making a move till the third day. He probably doesn't that much. This might be his dick. Might be in a state of being 19 years old, right? And the fact that he busted and then he was like, oh. And then like, all right, see you later. Like, yeah, he didn't try and like he wasn't like, deal with it or he never brought it up again. You know what I mean? It was. And look, maybe the first time you're like, that was embarrassing. Second time you try. And also the first time in his car. Three.
Katie Nolan
Three times.
Stavros Halkias
Three times. First time since. Second time they weren't like in a house. Like, are they hooking up?
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Is it escalating what's going on here?
Stavros Halkias
Right? You've been on six dates and he's come and his fucking Lexus rx Three times.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. Like you're teenagers or something.
Stavros Halkias
You can't go inside. So you might. Even though if you really like this guy and even though everything about him says he's more established in life than you, you might actually be more of an adult when it comes to dating as a 28 year old than he is a 42 year old.
Eric Rahill
That's a Very empathetic look, style.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, that's what we do here. That's what we do here.
Katie Nolan
It's a chance for her to lead.
Stavros Halkias
It is a chance for. And you might just have to do that. And if you get everything out of this relationship. But the trade off is. And look, some people date somebody older because they kind of want. They want the other person to kind of be a little bit in charge, especially if they're like, established. And also, who knows what this girl is into sexually. I know a lot of women where this would be a real dealbreaker.
Katie Nolan
I'm thinking, my gut instinct is deal breaker. Like, I can't see a world where this guy's so great. Yeah, you'd want to deal with this.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Oh, that's a great. That's a beautiful point.
Stavros Halkias
Get a little spray. You need a mic next time, Mo. You can't be off. You need a mic. Mo said there's treatments. I do feel like hinting that maybe he also busts fast, but we'll never know. Yeah, he's not denying it, but I know what you mean. This might be a deal, but six states in. It's crazy. That's a lot crazy.
Katie Nolan
I feel like that's a lot.
Stavros Halkias
But we don't know what she's like, right? In a world where you're okay with this. Let's finish this line of thinking and then we can move on. But in a world where you're okay with this, where you're like, you can deal with a gent. Because by the way, this guy bus while kissing, he ain't throwing you around. You're not getting choked by this fucking guy. You're not getting. You know what I mean? Like, you're gonna have to. You're gonna. You're gonna. You're not. This guy's never railed anyone in his life, right? Never happened. So if that's very important to you and I see, I'm not gonna judge you if it is, you're gonna have to work up. You're gonna have to. The roles are gonna have to switch sexually to the point you might have to tutor him to be good at fuck you. Is that something you're interested in? He hasn't even pulled his dick out once. That's fucking crazy. Like, if you've got third time you bust while kissing on the couch or something, he's not fucking hitting the shower himself, cleaning his prick off and then going for number two later. That's fucking. He hasn't tried to touch your tits. That's Fucking insanity. So. But if that's okay with you, that's the way you have to lead him through, like. And you have to bring it up. He might be so embarrassed by busting in his pants. Pants. Which. Honestly, if I buzzed in my pants in that, like, that's the mark of a man who's sexually immature. Because if I. If I buzzed in my pants when I was like, 15, I'd be embarrassed now. I'd be like. I would literally think it's funny.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Like, I would. If I was with somebody, like, be like, I'm sick.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
I've got that buzz fast flu. I'm sick.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, fuck. Is he.
Eric Rahill
What's he saying? What's he saying afterwards? Is he going.
Stavros Halkias
Is he going, oops, whoopsie.
Katie Nolan
I would love. Oh, no, you don't. Be worse.
Eric Rahill
Look what you did to me, girl.
Stavros Halkias
Trying to play off.
Eric Rahill
You made me bust so quick.
Stavros Halkias
You need to put that in your back pocket. That goes right in with, like, your. Your guy is a guy who would try and play off.
Eric Rahill
That's like. That's a compliment.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
You're just so freaking high. I can't believe.
Stavros Halkias
So freaking sexy, babe.
Eric Rahill
Well, it could be a medical issue. We don't know what's going on with.
Stavros Halkias
He's a doctor, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
So could be overworked, too.
Eric Rahill
As a doctor. That could be exhaustion speaking. These doctors, American doctors, we're treating them like they don't get sleep. They don't get.
Stavros Halkias
The medical schools chews them up and spits them out.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
So, okay, that's one. But then if we're going to be based in reality here.
Eric Rahill
He's a deviant.
Stavros Halkias
There's just no way something. This is gonna be. You're gonna have to. At least. At the very least, you're gonna have to discuss this head on. And you're gonna be like, let's do. Even if he busts once. Like, you're gonna have to be the one that at least the first time breaks the. Let's. Let's get your dick. Let's get naked. You're gonna have to do that. If that's not interesting to you, this might not be your guy. At the very least, you have to have a conversation about and be like, this is okay, but we have to have sex. If we're gonna be in a relation, we have to see if we're actually compatible and we can work on everything else out. And look, there's. If this guy can. If this Guy busts fast if he gets one off and then busts that quickly the second time. That's crazy. If he busts three in a row, then it is a legitimate medical issue. There's no way, like. But you know, know, this is like.
Katie Nolan
I said, I wonder if she is just like, really hot though.
Stavros Halkias
She could be really hot. And he might just have never.
Eric Rahill
Style hot.
Stavros Halkias
Huh, G. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, right? Yeah. She could be very hot. And he. My hypothesis is he's just a nerd who's never gotten pussy in his life. Just from everything I'm. Everything I'm picking up here, I had.
Katie Nolan
Another scenario in my head. I don't know how long you want to stay on the. I was also picturing like a guy, you know, 42, had one life, has a bunch of kids already, and he's like, out divorced, fresh, new out on the scene.
Stavros Halkias
Yes.
Katie Nolan
Very nervous.
Stavros Halkias
Yes.
Katie Nolan
That could be. Maybe there's some anxiety there.
Stavros Halkias
That's a good point. But either way, it's a guy whose development has been arrested.
Katie Nolan
Yes.
Stavros Halkias
Either he got married young in an early relationship, doesn't know how to. Either way, this is a guy who does not know how to date.
Katie Nolan
No, no, no, no.
Stavros Halkias
Whether that's. Whatever the scenario, but. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever encountered a fast buster in my. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. Probably because I. So pretty.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. He couldn't help it.
Katie Nolan
He couldn't help it. That's what he said.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. That is how you play it off. That's the only way to play it off. I honestly have never been a fast buster, which is one of my only. The only negative I don't have sexually is that I don't bust past. And then it happened like, once, and I was literally like. I think I was like, reacting with too much like, huh, that's fucking hilarious.
Eric Rahill
I'm curious.
Stavros Halkias
No, truly. And the woman didn't believe me.
Katie Nolan
That's a great way to handle that.
Stavros Halkias
The woman didn't believe me, but I was like, this is crazy. I was like, that's so fucking funny that I busted fast. And she was just like. I mean, she was fucking weird as fuck too. Maybe there was something. I didn't really like her as a person and her apartment was weird.
Katie Nolan
Your body knew.
Stavros Halkias
But she had huge tit. Like, there's a lot. A lot going on here. A lot of make. So it was like. I did find her pure. Like, from a just attractiveness thing. I found her pretty hot. And I hated everything else and not. That's the only time in my life I've busted Like, crazy fast.
Eric Rahill
Your body. Your body was helping you out.
Stavros Halkias
It was to get me out of there fast. Like, you don't like what's going on here, man?
Eric Rahill
Osmosis Jones, but bus button.
Katie Nolan
We gotta get out of here.
Stavros Halkias
We gotta get out of here before you have to pet another ferret. All right, let's do another. Let's do another call here, Mo. I think we really helped.
Eldis
Love everything you guys got going on.
Stavros Halkias
Thank you. Thank you.
Eldis
Okay, so a couple years ago, I need your advice on this. I don't know, you know, do I let sleeping dogs lie or do I reach out? But a couple years ago, my friends started dating this guy and at the time, like, he was non existent on social media. So, like, my brain, like, okay, that's weird. And then a few months later, he pops back up on social media. So, you know, I'm an investigator, I do some digging, and basically I find out that this guy went to jail for, like, choking out his ex and basically has a kid with an ex girlfriend that he lied to my friend about. He said that the last he heard that the ex girlfriend got an abortion and this kid was never a thing. But basically I discovered her Facebook, her Twitter and the kid is very much alive and well. And I told my friend all about this. She confirmed.
Stavros Halkias
I'm sorry, I'm getting. Yeah, last I heard, like, not checking up on whether seed was blood.
Eric Rahill
I was pretty sure they stopped that thing. That's awful.
Stavros Halkias
Didn't check back in. Didn't.
Eric Rahill
I caught the vibe that it wasn't going to happen.
Stavros Halkias
So, yeah, no more investigating necessary.
Katie Nolan
Wait, I got confused. So the kid, there is a child?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, so, yes. Okay, so just to catch everybody up, the. It's our caller is calling it about her friend and this child is her. Her friend's boyfriend's friend's boyfriend's friend with an ex that the potentially shitty boyfriend has lied about. Anyway, let's keep going. But that's just awesome to be like, last I heard about your child. All right, it is with it.
Eldis
Basically, he twisted everything and she came back to me and was like, I'm on his side. The ex is crazy. I believe him. So basically from then on, we haven't really talked in a year and a half, but, you know, I know this guy is a piece of shit. She doesn't see that. And I know he's abusive. I don't know. I asked her, you know, if he's been like that her. She said no. And although we haven't talked, you know, sometimes, like, I still worry. I still want to be, like, a resource of, like. Like, oh, if shift's going down, you know, I'll help you out. You can reach out to me. They also moved from Florida to Washington State, so literally across the country.
Stavros Halkias
She moves, I'm sure.
Eldis
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, wow.
Eric Rahill
To Washington State.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, no. Okay. Not good.
Eldis
Literally no contact for a year and a half. Used to follow each other on social media, but. But there's no interaction whatsoever. And I've known this person since I was, like, 16, and I'm 29, so, yeah, I don't know if I let sleeping dogs lie or if I reach out and just kind of say, hey, checking in on you. Yeah, thanks.
Stavros Halkias
Damn, that's a tough one.
Eric Rahill
You guys know that Dixie Cheeks song, Earl?
Stavros Halkias
I don't know that one.
Katie Nolan
I do.
Stavros Halkias
Is it about an abusive.
Eric Rahill
It's about.
Stavros Halkias
It's about this situation.
Eric Rahill
Dixie Cheeks killing a man named Earl.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
I mean, poisoning him. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
That's what this guy deserves.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
I think he's got to go.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, Unfortunately. This is horrible. There's nothing good that's going to come.
Eric Rahill
Of this, I think.
Stavros Halkias
And I guess let me just say before we will answer, but first, talk to someone who knows about the Met. Like, talk to a counselor about, you know, like, women's safety. Like, talk to somebody about who's actually go to, like, you know, resources about domestic abuse, that kind of thing, what to do in these situations, because they'll actually tell you, instead of this dumb podcast where we were just talking about stinky pussy and busting fast moments ago. We're not exactly. Who's gonna help you with this? We're much better. We spent a nice amount of time on that bust fast question, and this is gonna be a lot quicker than that. But I guess I would say everything sounds so far, pretty textbook abusive relationship. The no contact, the moving away. Like, that's like isolating somebody from their.
Eric Rahill
Going to Florida to Washington state.
Stavros Halkias
Yes, that's true.
Katie Nolan
Could it be further?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah. Literally, I don't think on the continental United States, you could move further away. So I would say you should assume the worst in a. You know, just to be safe. And this is, again, my hunch, go check all this with a domestic, with somebody that knows what they're talking about when it comes to domestic abuse. But I think you probably don't want to be too crusading about this. But you want to. I think you're. Our caller's hunch is correct. Where it's like, just make it known that you're there for them.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Katie Nolan
That's what I was gonna say. All you can really do is, like, tell your friend you love her.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
You're there for her if she needs anything.
Stavros Halkias
Just to talk, but just chat and, like, just check in in an innocuous way. Talk about day to day shit. So she just feels. And don't bring this up, you know what I mean? Like, because I think people in these situations, like, anyone and the abuser usually can sniff out if somebody's.
Katie Nolan
I'm worried too, about, like, if she's sending emails or texts, like, he's probably looking at all her stuff.
Stavros Halkias
Could be. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Or like her social media messages and things, like, I would think so.
Stavros Halkias
That's why I would say keep it, like, keep it, like, what's up? Let's just chat. You see a show, like, pretend. So just so they know, be in her life in a way that's like, very surface level, but also that she feels a connection. And again, talk to someone who actually knows. But this is just our best guess here.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
What do you think? Maybe she should pray to the Holy Spirit or I think pray to God.
Eric Rahill
He's the only way out of this. Don't contact anyone professional. Just go right to Jesus. He can fix this for you.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Don't talk to the police. Nothing.
Stavros Halkias
Do not talk to the police. Just right to God. Go to a mega church. Did you ever go to a mega church or was it more like.
Eric Rahill
These were smaller, kind of more even scarier style churches.
Stavros Halkias
That is scarier.
Katie Nolan
Less money.
Stavros Halkias
And he's speaking in tongues. No.
Eric Rahill
Right. I went to a friend's church once who spoke in tongues. This is too far.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah. Like, this is demonic. This is not for me.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Did you put your hands up?
Eric Rahill
I was putting my hands up, yeah. Sometimes you put up one, but if you're really feeling it is both. That's when he knew you were gay.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, yeah. This.
Eric Rahill
God's like, smiling.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
He really wants both up.
Stavros Halkias
All right, what do we got? Great one, Eldest. Another good one, Eldis. Just a nice lift the mood up. We're trying to get people to watch this movie and now people are thinking about a woman who's in tr. In dire trouble. But you know, what's that moment. Thank you. Thank you, Mo, clean up Eldest's messes. Mystery Mo, the man with no mic, folks. He's sexy as hell, but he shouldn't be here. God wants him dead. But he's persevering. But he's persevering. He really did Silently produce this podcast. All right.
Eldis
Hey, Savi, I've been a little bit.
Eric Rahill
Of a viewer for a little bit.
Stavros Halkias
Of a long time, and I was wondering if you had any.
Eldis
Any tips on how to masculinize yourself and make you super, ultra masculine. As a trans man, I struggle so hard with being perceived as a man.
Stavros Halkias
And I think I need to know some man secrets. I need to know some things that.
Eldis
I need to change.
Stavros Halkias
This is awesome. Should I be showering differently?
Eldis
Should I stop washing my asshole?
Eric Rahill
Like, what should I start doing to.
Eldis
Make people perceive me to be a man?
Stavros Halkias
Yes. Thank you. So. Respect. Welcome to the brotherhood. So much better to be a man. I mean, truly, the. It's like, how can you even argue? How can you look at society and then argue when someone wants to be treated like a man if they're a woman?
Eric Rahill
It is awesome.
Stavros Halkias
It just makes so much more sense. It's so much easier. Less danger. Just a good time overall. Don't have to be pregnant. I mean, Katie's gone.
Katie Nolan
I know. I have.
Stavros Halkias
What Katie's going through looks horrible.
Katie Nolan
So you can be.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, of course.
Katie Nolan
Thank you.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah. And then arrange your thoughts about this masculine question. Me and Eric will start off.
Eric Rahill
We'll start it off.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. I mean, yeah, this is.
Eric Rahill
I'm trying to think.
Stavros Halkias
I mean, first of all, you want to look less put together. That's number one.
Eric Rahill
Yeah. Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Look shitty. It's kind of nice. That's one of our. That's the biggest. You know, the biggest pro here is like. Like how low maintenance. It can't to be super masculine. It's so easy.
Eric Rahill
It's actually. The better.
Stavros Halkias
The less thought, the better. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Go with your gut.
Stavros Halkias
Go with your gut.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Dress like sweatpants.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
You know what I mean? Like, now you can. I mean, I'm not gonna tell you to get fatty, but that's a nice one. It helps. Being a little fat helps.
Eric Rahill
Oh, yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Being a little fatter than you are probably helps. And. And look, once you're more comfortable in your masculinity, you can shed it, cut it down. It's kind of like becoming a bodybuilder.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, right?
Stavros Halkias
You want to. You want to, like, bulk. Bulk. And then you can come.
Eric Rahill
Weightlifting might be.
Stavros Halkias
The weightlifting will definitely help.
Eric Rahill
Do this thing called starting strength.
Stavros Halkias
Starting gallon of milk. Go mad. Gallon of milk a day. That could help. No, truly, getting in the. All this kind of. I'm trying to think when I think, when I feel the most masculine. That's a great, great question. I. Getting up. Hands oh, yeah. You know what I mean? All getting them like. Like lift. You know what I mean? Like lifting weights. I've gotten callous calluses up here.
Eric Rahill
Do the guitar and get the calluses on the.
Stavros Halkias
Yes. Yes. Start to make women uncomfortable at parties. Play the guitar at a party.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, right.
Stavros Halkias
That's a.
Eric Rahill
Turn the music off.
Stavros Halkias
That's a. That's a loser dude move. Yeah. I think that.
Eric Rahill
Get a job at Lids.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Get a lanyard.
Stavros Halkias
Become a butterfly knife guy.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Like, start being a horrible guy.
Eric Rahill
Just.
Stavros Halkias
And then you can cut down that you actually like. But. Yes. Yeah. Right.
Eric Rahill
Right.
Stavros Halkias
Yes. Yes, yes.
Eric Rahill
Because we did this when we were 16.
Stavros Halkias
Exactly. Everybody does play guitar. Everything you're talking about. Yes. We went through all of that shit.
Eric Rahill
You find the fucked up parts.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. So we're just saying you want to look like a piece of shit. You don't want to think about anything. Don't worry about your appearance. That will really help to just appear more. Dude, like. Exactly. It's like. No.
Katie Nolan
Also, I was thinking just take your time with everything.
Stavros Halkias
For sure.
Katie Nolan
Don't rush anything.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
No urgency when you're crossing the street.
Katie Nolan
Just take your time.
Stavros Halkias
Don't even. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
You know those guys.
Stavros Halkias
Be less aware of the. Of others around you.
Katie Nolan
Exactly.
Stavros Halkias
Don't worry about how other people react to you. You know what I mean?
Katie Nolan
Get a navy blue comforter.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Oh, that's. You know, that's actually exactly. Exactly what it is, Katie. I. I got that.
Stavros Halkias
Of course, dude, me too. Yeah. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
But actually, you see so many more stains on that than you would think.
Katie Nolan
Exactly. Like, you need a pattern and a light color to hide them.
Stavros Halkias
It's a bad move.
Katie Nolan
Don't wash your towels.
Stavros Halkias
Right.
Eric Rahill
Oh, yeah. You know what's crazy is that we have, like, so many fresh towels in. In my house, and I'll let the towel go so long, and I just forget that there's a new towel and.
Katie Nolan
You'Re just using, like, the same one towel.
Eric Rahill
Like, it's wet. And I'm like, why is this happening to me?
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Do shit like that.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, just like. I mean, so much of it. You're. It's just gonna take some. It's just gonna take some time. But, yeah, dressing like shit. Being a little. I wouldn't say. I would say wash your ass. You don't want to stink, but.
Katie Nolan
Because you guys were just talking about how you're washing your asses.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. We'll get you so.
Eric Rahill
But you do.
Stavros Halkias
You don't want to stink, but you can be dirty. That's a difference. Right. Smudges, stains on your shirt, all that's good. But you don't want to smell bad. You can have like something on your face. You can have your. And we said get rough. Fucked up hands too. That's a good thing.
Katie Nolan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stavros Halkias
So, yeah.
Katie Nolan
Get good with animals.
Stavros Halkias
Mmm. Well, yeah, I'm bad with animals.
Eric Rahill
You are?
Katie Nolan
Really?
Stavros Halkias
I mean, I'm not bad with them, but I just don't take care of them, you know? Like, I like cats and dogs, but I. Yeah, I don't know anything about them. I'm not. And other animals. I'm. I'm just a city boy.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
I don't really know nothing about the farm or anything like that.
Eric Rahill
Maybe do a farm. A farm trip.
Stavros Halkias
Okay.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Get handy.
Katie Nolan
See how you are with them. See how you naturally.
Eric Rahill
But I do think horses are more.
Stavros Halkias
More girls girl coded.
Eric Rahill
But I don't know. I don't know. You could go both ways.
Stavros Halkias
Cow, cowboy. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
I'm in. Interested in, like, you know, if he's got a vision for the kind of guy he wants. There's so many different kinds of guys you could be. It's like.
Stavros Halkias
And. And I think the kind of talking it out. I think we're coming at it as a way of. The way we were just saying, like bodybuilders, when they try and get ripped, they just gain a ton of weight because you can gain a lot of muscle through fat. Try every different type of guy on bulk as a guy. Become every type of guy. Overdose on masculinity.
Eric Rahill
Do the winter cut.
Stavros Halkias
Do the winter cut. And be like, you know what?
Eric Rahill
Winter bulk, I don't like.
Stavros Halkias
I don't like being a chain wallet guy. I don't like. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is not me. And slowly cut out. But for now, do as many dumb dude. Do as much dumb dude bullshit as possible.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
And then go from there. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Cause there must have been a guy that you like, dreamt of being.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, right. Yeah. Everyone kind of has that. There's a guy I see in my head that's a version of me. I've said this before on the podcast and it's so funny if you see it, because we don't have our usual setup. We can pull up. But Colin Farrell in Miami Vice. Damn. I was like, yes.
Eric Rahill
And I think he was cooked out in real life.
Stavros Halkias
No, no. That I've done. I love that movie. And I've done a lot of research on It. He says he doesn't remember filming that movie. Movie.
Eric Rahill
He.
Stavros Halkias
He went right from there to rehab. He was so pilled out and up. Wow. And it kind of. It really. It literally helps the performance.
Katie Nolan
I want to. That's a Michael man movie.
Stavros Halkias
Great movie. Great movie. Penguin's hilarious.
Katie Nolan
I love that show.
Stavros Halkias
She. Who's the girl? What's her name?
Eric Rahill
Yeah, it's good.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah.
Eric Rahill
Oh, oh, oh. She's great.
Stavros Halkias
She's incredible.
Eric Rahill
What's her name? She's in Palm Springs.
Stavros Halkias
She was in Palm Springs.
Eric Rahill
She was Christina, me, Melody.
Stavros Halkias
Wow.
Katie Nolan
She's in Wolf of Wall Street.
Stavros Halkias
She's the first wife. She's incredible in that. I mean, it is for real. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was about to turn. Because I think what the Penguin is. And this is what joke. This is what the first Joker was, which was. They're making Marvel movies for. I know it's dc, but, like, the first Joker just stole two different Martin Scorsese movies. It was Taxi Driver, and it's the king of comedy, right? And it's like four cinephile bros. They're like, we're gonna make a Marvel movie for them. And I like as that. Like, I thought people went too crazy calling it a great movie. It was not. It was. But it was entertaining. And it was like, hey, it's this stuff I like. It's the same shit I like.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. It reminds me of all the stuff.
Stavros Halkias
It reminds me of the stuff I like because I'm not a comic book nerd, but the. I am a Scorsese nerd. And I feel the same way about the Penguin and the Sopranos. It just feels like that's true. They're doing stuff I love from the Sopranos, and he's doing his voice. He's kind of doing exactly. He kind of does too much. It's a little much. Yeah. He is a good enough actor that. Four moments, certain scenes, it doesn't bother me. And she's incredible.
Eric Rahill
She should be the star.
Stavros Halkias
She's incredible. She's like. Like. I mean, not only she's so hot, but she's also, like, such an insane act, such an insanely good actress. And there is stuff to do with that character. Like, it's weird how good it. How good. But it's like. Yeah, it's like. I remember. And I got. I watched the first two episodes, but I'm sure the third one, they start with his little sidekick. And it kind of. I was like, I don't need to know. And can I just give me the hot Insane woman.
Eric Rahill
Can we get some real busted looking men in these roles? We don't need the hottest fucking.
Stavros Halkias
It does, please. I know Colin Farrell in particular. It's like tough because I love him.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, I know. He's amazing.
Stavros Halkias
Come on. That's what I mean. I said it. I said it on Caleb's podcast where I was like, I love this Apprentice because it's also. It's a fat. It might be more fat than Italian. It might be. You know what I mean? There's so many obese people in that. And it's like never has there been a showcase for the fat, for fat people, like Sopranos. And it's like there's somebody that could have been playing that role. I don't want to do. It's not about me.
Eric Rahill
No, no.
Stavros Halkias
I'm not trying to be osc. Okay. But someone's out there that can do it. Although I wouldn't mind being a couple scenes with Christine. You know what I mean?
Katie Nolan
You should watch the latest episode then because it's all about her.
Stavros Halkias
She goes.
Katie Nolan
You see her in the J. Arkham.
Stavros Halkias
But it is funny.
Katie Nolan
It's like she's all young. They like make her look.
Stavros Halkias
It's like she's hot. She'll be. She'll probably be hot forever.
Eric Rahill
I love that. The most craziest place some people can think of is Arkham Asylum.
Stavros Halkias
Well, dude, why the. Does this have anything to do with Batman? Yeah, make this a show about Batman. Why is it Batman? Like, it's an. It could be a much better show. It's not tethered to all this dumb bullshit, but whatever. I'll watch it. I'll. I'll. I'll eat my slop.

Here's the thing. King's Hawaiian rolls and slider buns are so versatile.
Stavros Halkias
They're perfect for any slider, no matter what you make.
Eric Rahill
That's why this year, King's Hawaiian is.
Stavros Halkias
Celebrating slider Sunday your way. Because the best slider is the one you love to create, eat, and share with family and friends. So a few things you need to know.

Eric Rahill

Stavros Halkias
How about breakfast sliders with bacon, egg, and cheese or ice cream sandwich sliders for dessert?
Eric Rahill
All ideas are.
Stavros Halkias
Well, welcome. Head to kingshawaian.com for more inspiration.
Eric Rahill
So head to the bakery or deli.
Stavros Halkias
Section of your grocery store for King's Hawaiian rolls and slider buns. Yeah, go ahead. Me and Katie can handle it.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, we got this.
Stavros Halkias
What's up, Stavi? Esteemed guest eldest. I'm calling today because I got life advice I need. I'm with this girlfriend of two years.
Eric Rahill
I love her.
Stavros Halkias
She's beautiful. But when we got together, we were both big stoners. And I'm kind of getting to the point in my life, I just turned 24, feel like my frontal lobe has formed as much as it can, and. And I want to take on responsibility and just be.
Eric Rahill
Learn some skills and, okay, you know.
Stavros Halkias
My life without smoking weed every day. And I want her to do the same because I want a partner that I can grow with. But whenever I broach the subject with.
Eldis
Her about her quitting weed, she gets.
Eric Rahill
Defensive.
Stavros Halkias
Brings up this trauma about her past that was really up, and says that, like, because of that, the. The weed, like, helps her, which, when she brings that up, I. I can't really. She's got you, brother. Say anything to that, like, really, what happened?
Eric Rahill
But I don't think that doing drugs.
Stavros Halkias
Every day helps her get through that. I think it's kind of a bandaid. You might be right. Anyway, so basically, how would you go about telling your significant other that you love very much, that you don't want to be with someone who kind of is a stoner and just has, like, weed kind of control their life? This guy's pissed me. Yeah, a little bit. Asking you make me sad. But I. I want to be with her, and. But I also want a part where Partner I can grow with and learn things and, you know, not stay in bed all day smoking weed. So. Yeah. Yeah, okay, first of all, it's all noble everything, but let's fucking relax. You've stopped smoking weed for two fucking weeks, and now you're like, I can't possibly be with a stoner. Get off your fucking high horse right now. Like, this is the guy who's just started keto, and he's telling everybody, like, that muffin's gonna kill you. You know what I mean? It's like you're being a fucking prick here, buddy.
Katie Nolan
He's kind of like in the honeymoon period.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. It's like sobriety. Yes, exactly. Exactly. And he can't stop. So basically, this guy they called in, Eric, him and his girl were both huge stoners when they dated. I think they're 24 now, Mo. So they started dating a couple years ago. They're, like, in their early 20s. They both were stoners. He's quit smoking and he wants to, like, in his words, kind of grow up. His girl, every time he tries to get her to do it, she's like, I don't want to do it. And she has, like, some trump card. Something horrible happened to her. And she's like. Like, because of this, I have to smoke weed. Whatever. So he gets to a. They get to a wall every time he tries to say, don't smoke. And he's basically asking what to do. Now he got a little sanctimonious at the end, saying he can't be with somebody who he doesn't want to be with a stoner anymore. Meanwhile, that's who you fucking are. That's like, let's not be. I was with him on everything except the hypocrisy here, right? So Anyway, if you're 24, there's one. Here's one universal truth. Before getting into the specifics here, this is the age where people start fucking. Where the like. Yes. The people's lives start going different places, right? Like college. Everyone gets fucked up constantly. And then you check back in on your friend, who's the funnest friend ever.
Eric Rahill
They passed away.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, exactly. He fucking. He fucking.
Katie Nolan
Best case scenario.
Stavros Halkias
Best case scenario. Yeah. A drunk driving accident where only he died. You know what I mean? Like, it's him versus a fucking telephone pole. Best case scenario, right? And so this is just when this kind of shit happens, right? It's like this age, like, you just start to diverge. And another universal truth, most relationships that start at fucking 22 or younger for the most part. Don't necessarily. You know what I mean? Like, so there is a small. There is a chance. I won't even say small chance, but there's a chance that you guys could just be different people. I had a. I had a college girlfriend where we. When we met, we were both in the same Public affairs scholarship program. And she. And she, she went to grad school and I was like. She went to grad school in D.C. and I was like, sick and I used her. And I would go visit her and do open mics and not spend time with her. And very quickly our lives diverged, you know, and she was like, I can't. Obviously she was like, I can't do this and whatever, you know, she's. God bless her. No, I think she like, wanted to have a family within year, within like two years. And it was like. And I was like, I mean, that's not gonna happen. So clearly not me. It's insane, right? So it's like that's just how like that kind of shit happens now. Let's give him, I guess, some actual advice in his situation. Is it a problem yet? Is my first question. You know what I mean?
Eric Rahill
I think just go to your rock climbing gym, chill out, like, sign up for your clock.
Katie Nolan
Don't make a few decisions.
Eric Rahill
Just don't act on this too quick.
Stavros Halkias
Right, right, right. Yeah. My hunch is that he's making it a problem already. It's like, has this hindered your life yet? No, you just started and as if.
Eric Rahill
He'S so clear minded.
Stavros Halkias
No. And like their lives, like their lives are at such different places. You just started this fucking bullshit. This isn't a problem yet. You're getting ahead of yourself. You do whatever the fuck. Yeah. Go to coding, boot camp or whatever the fuck you think is going to change your life. Like, go let live these wildly different lives that you. That he's imagined. And it's like he thinks he's gonna be a fucking bitcoin millionaire while she's fucking watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force. You know what I mean? You're not different yet. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Given the two weeks.
Stavros Halkias
Become different before you start working? Because I know people who. I have friends who smoke weed every day. And are they as successful or as industrious as they could be? No. But are they still really fucking successful and like, it works for them. Yes, they are. And maybe I would, you know, I stopped smoking weed. I just needed to fuck. I was getting too fucked up. But like, it's not like I can't hang out with them.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
And even now, like, I'm doing a sober year, a lot of my friends are still getting fucked up. It's not really affecting. A lot of my closest friends are getting fucked up. It's not affecting our relationship. Now. A relationship is different. I know that. Right. Like, but there's plenty of people in relationships. There were one person sober and one person isn't. Could it become a deal breaker? Yes.
Eric Rahill
But right now it feels so much worse. At 24, where you're like. I remember, like, you know, seeing people that weren't drinking. I was like, I could never even show.
Katie Nolan
Oh my God.
Eric Rahill
Who can't body an old fashioned woman? You know what I mean? And now it's like, you don't even think about it.
Katie Nolan
You're gonna be up all night.
Stavros Halkias
No, you're so right, dude. 24 of these do feel like insane life differences. You do. And I also remember I was one of these people who. Being a stoner was a huge part of my identity at 24. You know what I mean? Like, I was, I was one of those guys in the way, like drinking bros or like you go and you get fucked up. Like, I was never. I drank, but I was never. I was way more of a weed guy. Yeah. And also, like, I'm a little older where it was like, it was still illegal. So you had a good hookup. Like, you were. The. Being a weed guy did feel kind of like more important. More important. Like, you know, people can't. If you had good weed. That was literally.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Like being like, oh, that guy got good shit. You know, like, I wanted to be that guy.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
But you know, these fucking kids don't know nothing about. I remember being at your grocery store dispensaries.
Eric Rahill
I was like, my. My girlfriend didn't really drink very much. And I was like, would be so fun if we could get fucked up together.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
And I remember going to the grocery store in my hometown and I saw this girl from high school that was there with her boyfriend and they were picking up like a handle of vodka for the night. And I remember feeling so jealous of their relationship and they both died.
Stavros Halkias
Come on. I'm not kidding you. Badly.
Eric Rahill
They died badly. And I can't go into it because it'll give away details, but they're no longer with us. You know what I mean? So you'll change. You change.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
Holy.
Eric Rahill
Dude, you.
Stavros Halkias
The next episode, when you get. When we do the next one, we're getting into every. We're gonna catalog Catalog every death.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, yeah.
Katie Nolan
I want to see a chart of them.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, Yeah. I think it's all connected. Connected.
Stavros Halkias
You're the harbinger of death. That's so funny, too, because I remember one time my. One of my best friends was talking about. We were hanging out, and he was like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna go get high as in order to take out and watch movies with my fiance. And it dawned on me that that was possible. Like.
Eric Rahill
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
That you could do that with a girlfriend. Like, in my head, a girlfriend was like. Like someone you had to pretend to be a better person than you were.
Katie Nolan
Completely not yourself.
Eric Rahill
I could listen to Bass Nectar with.
Stavros Halkias
Her, and I was like. It literally made me romantic. I was like, oh, my God, I can get high as. And maybe I can't watch John Wick, but I can watch a Michael Mann movie. You know what I mean? But that literally was a step to being like, maybe I do want that. But anyway, look, dude, you're a little. Don't get ahead of yourself.
Eric Rahill
God bless you, by the way.
Katie Nolan
God bless you. Hey, first. Yeah. God bless.
Stavros Halkias
Of course, we can't forget.
Katie Nolan
And then goes without saying, but I think, yeah, like, trying out your new lifestyle choices that you want to try so bad. And then if. Cause he said that she's really important to him.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Too. So give it some time. And then if you find it's not working, then I think I would draw a harsh line and say, cut your losses for sure. And you can't be codependent and, like, waste. You just don't want to waste years. Trust me. Trust me. Thinking you're going to help somebody.
Stavros Halkias
Mary as a kid, that's how much this has fucked her up. She's at a great point in her life.
Katie Nolan
No, I made an incredible point, but I made a lot of bad decisions, a lot of time with the wrong people who waste your time. And I just don't want your time to be wasted.
Eric Rahill
Yes, that's a good point.
Stavros Halkias
I agree. I agree. I think ultimately that's true. But I think he. Yes, you said it.
Katie Nolan
Give it at least six months.
Stavros Halkias
Exactly.
Katie Nolan
Trying to do your own thing.
Stavros Halkias
Exactly. Because I think you're being a little. You're just overdoing too excited for your new. I've been there. You know how many. You know how much fucking, like, how many times I've bought, like, workout equipment and, like, shirts that were two sizes smaller than what I'm like, wow.
Katie Nolan
And you're like, I'm gonna have to.
Stavros Halkias
Cut out full wardrobe. Has to Be in excess. I like just how they're just in the package. How much still lands end in the package? I have like, you don't want to be that guy yet, buddy. You haven't made the ch. The changes yet.
Katie Nolan
Yeah. Unopened equipment.
Eric Rahill
So I literally. I ordered kettlebells on Amazon this morning after watching a Joe Rogan action Bronson clip where they went.
Stavros Halkias
I love that. Yeah, that's a good workout. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
And my girlfriend did eat a cookie this morning, and I was shaking my head. That's not the lifestyle be a part of anymore, girl. You need to give that. Shut up now if you want to stay with this.
Stavros Halkias
Oh, what the hell's going on? I thought I was in Los Angeles talking to Katie and Eric, but I'm. I'm keeping it twisted. And. Oh, Ben's here. It's time to keep it twisted. We've been transported to the studio for To Keep it Twisted. All right, I guess we'll keep it twisted. Thanks to our friends at Twisted T with a twisted up question. We don't actually know what it's called yet. We still haven't decided what the segment's called, but time to keep it twisted. L. This. Play us the twisted motherfucking up call of the day. Hell yeah.
Eric Rahill
Hey, Stavi, got a weird question.
Stavros Halkias
I'm not too sure if it even really matters.
Eric Rahill
Currently in life, but something I've been thinking about for a long time.
Stavros Halkias
Time. But my best friend is currently married. Has been married for a long time. Let this girl off and on for 10 years. But back in the day when one of the. Off and on. Whatever.
Eric Rahill
I think he meant the relationship.
Stavros Halkias
I got it, you prick. He's been married for a long time. Let this girl off and on for 10 years.
Eric Rahill
But back in the day, when one.
Stavros Halkias
Of the times they were off, off, he or she started to bang one.
Eric Rahill
Of my other good buddies.
Stavros Halkias
This other buddy in my Keep it Twisted. That lady was keeping it twisted as hell. Sampling the friend's on a break. She was absolutely keeping it. And then going back and marrying the guy. Salute to her for keeping it twisted. My other good buddies and this other.
Eric Rahill
Buddy and my other best friend, we're never really friends, so.
Stavros Halkias
Okay, okay, maybe it wasn't that.
Eric Rahill
But she told my one buddy that.
Stavros Halkias
She started that she wanted to have a threesome with him. And I.
Eric Rahill
Now that never happened. I never.
Stavros Halkias
Now that is. I take back what I said. She is keeping it very twisted. You know, it probably goes. You know what? I won't even say it. Let's keep going now that never happened.
Eric Rahill
I never did anything with her and they eventually stopped fucking in respect.
Stavros Halkias
She got back with my other best friend. Sometimes you can't always keep it twisted, folks. Sometimes you have to know to keep it just twisted enough. And I respect our caller for not. You can, oh, you can get it over twisted and he didn't over twist it. He sounds like our friend here is keeping it just twisted enough. My other best friend and they got.
Eric Rahill
Married and fast forward, you know, 10.
Stavros Halkias
Years has gone by but I can never just shake the idea that my best friend's number one childhood best friend's current wife at one point specifically wanted.
Eric Rahill
To have a threesome with me.
Stavros Halkias
So not sure if it matters anymore. Too much time has passed. But it's definitely something I think is super weird and I would love to.
Eric Rahill
Tell him or whatever, but not sure.
Stavros Halkias
What to do about that. I can tell this guy is new to getting twisted. Yeah. He does not know this got him twisted in a bad way. She twisted him up too, too, too much, dude. Now here's an example of keeping it twisted in a positive way. Having a cookout, having a couple delicious twisted teas. That's keeping it just twisted enough, you know. 5% alcohol by volume brewed with real iced tea. Couple of those. That's keeping it twisted in a nice way. Yeah, trying to fuck your husband's best friend in a threesome. That's keeping it much too twisted. But what's he even saying here? It's not like it's going to happen. It's true that it's not like it's going to happen, but he's basically saying like, like OK again, this is good because I can all a child with best friend. If eldest's wife at some point was dating some other guy. Velas is married to some some completely other woman who was dating in a break between or even before. Right. The on again off again is weird. But even if it was randomly before you had an opportunity to do some depraved shit with like your best friends, then you know, future wife, it would be like that's kind of, that's weird that I was there for that. You know what I mean? Like now. But I'm with you. It's not 10 years ago. But exactly. If this is just some other guy, he never hears about this, he never even thinks about it. And everybody has kept it twisted to that degree one way or another. Yeah, I think we've all done some twisted. Oh, some twisted deeds sexually legal. That's twisted. As in freaky. That's why I'm like, no, Diddy. It's just like, what is. It's like, yeah, 10 years ago, like people were. When we were young, we were all doing. Sure. Stupid. The break is actually the hard thing though, because she had already dated his best friend. Yeah. They were on a break. She tried to him essentially. And then. Yeah. And then she goes and marries him. It's like, yeah, obviously I do think effectively, what do you do? Too much. And also it's like, what are you best friends with his wife? You don't have to see her. You know what I mean? But it does. His friend knows another. Probably not. Right. It seems like he doesn't. I mean, that's the thing. Like, I agree with you in theory about the ten year thing, but if I find out that like my wife, like, trying to be like, I want to do a threesome with like, stop. And one of your friends that you're.
Eric Rahill
Not nearly as close with as stuff.
Stavros Halkias
That would be a little weird.
Eric Rahill
That would be crushing to discover, like.
Stavros Halkias
Amid marriage and like, just would not feel good even if it didn't. Question. Is the qu. See, he's asking. I would love to tell him or whatever. No, no, you want to tell him. He just says he's weird. He has said he doesn't know what he. I think he feel. I don't know, is he feeling guilty or does he feel. It's not like. Okay, here's the other thing. Your best friend, and it's not like he has a right to know. He feels guilty about it because of his friend. I thought he was like, do you think it could possibly happen? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, that's the caliber of question. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Again, he's not keeping it that twisted. No, I get it. Okay. This is a guy that doesn't. He keeps it an appropriate amount of twisted. Does not get that twisted. No, no. So, I mean, look, ultimately, I think you're. Your hunch is correct. Too much. Too much time has passed. Even if it hadn't passed. It's like, you didn't fuck her. She wanted to fuck you when she was single. That's really what it comes down to. She wanted to fuck you when she was single. Right. The fact that another guy was there. This is like a hard math problem where it's like you're thrown off by like the coefficient. But it's like, just take that out first. You gotta. You gotta solve what's inside the parentheses first. And so let's take out the threesome stuff. Essentially your buddy's wife when she was single wanted to you. She had a little wild phase. Exactly. Ten years ago, one of the guys she wanted to in her wild face was you. That's fine. You didn't her. There's probably a lot of other guys too, brother. Yeah, that's the other thing. That's the thing. This is she probably a bunch of other guys. Who cares? That's part of what it. Everyone is like young, whatever. And then you fucking settle down when you're done. When you're done sucking and to that degree. Right. So you didn't do anything. The fact that she kind of wanted to get Eiffel towered by you and some guy. Maybe it's a little strange. But that's it. That's the maybe. Stop thinking about it. You just stop thinking about it. It's been a long time like that. You can't tell. That's crazy. Crazy. What do you even get out of telling him that? That would be way too twisted. Yeah, that would be so twisted. I can't even. We can't condone. You would actually be the most twisted person in this situation. What the wife did is not wrong. She was just on a break and fucked some guys and then figured out she liked your friend enough later to fucking get married. People need time to go through their shit. The only person who would do something wrong here is you. To tell him, hey, you would just be throwing something that even. Even on Elvis example, that would be crushing. But you couldn't. You. It would just be so weird because you couldn't even be like, how dare you? You know what I mean? It would just be like you'd open.
Eric Rahill
A can of worms and like make it their problem.
Stavros Halkias
And it's nobody's problem. You exactly. You would be creating a problem out of nothing because. Do it. No, Ben. Right now. Ben. You're keeping it too twisted. Ben. I'm sorry, dude. I'm just getting so. You're keeping it way too twisted. Right. So excited by the idea of being twisted. Dude, do it. You have to, man. You can't let this weight. Can't keep carrying this weight, man, for another 10 years. What weight? Just at a barbecue, every once in a while, you look over her and you're like, huh? She wanted to me off. Who cares? Especially I would say women like when they go through a phase, they don't even have to think you're hot necessarily. It's like a. If it's like a moment where they Feel like safe, you know, it's like it doesn't matter. It's like every so many pe. Like my friend group. Everybody. Everybody. Well, you're a bunch of freaks. You're all a bunch of freaks living in a. Living in a warehouse with no heat. So you had to each other for warmth in the winter time. More than anything. That's so true. It wasn't even twisted to do it to anymore. It became twisted to not so anyway, pal, look, don't tell your friend. Just internalize this. It's really not that big a deal. So you. You just know most people don't get access to their friend. Significant others, wild sides, they all had them. We've all had them. So you just have too much information. Don't create a problem that doesn't. Doesn't need to exist. And more importantly, grab a refreshing twisted tea today and keep it twisted. Whoa, whoa. I'm getting sent back to Los Angeles, man. Keep it twisted. All right, I think we could do one more for. Does he have. Sometimes he highlights one to end on. Did we have anything like that? Mo? No. Does he have. What's the last one? Is the last one a good one? Man's friend was ghosted him even though she owes him $500 for some editing. Okay, that's the last one. That's the last one I got. A man's wife loves candy. Is the rally's weight loss. All right, let's do that. Yeah.
Katie Nolan
Say no more.
Stavros Halkias
Let's end on that topic. Yeah.
Eric Rahill
Hey St. Big fan of yours.
Stavros Halkias
Love listening to the pod.
Eric Rahill
Hey L. This.
Stavros Halkias
Hey esteemed G. He doesn't love you. He's not here.
Eric Rahill
Wanted to give a call in ask for some advice.
Stavros Halkias
Essentially I am trying to go through a bit of a health kick or.
Eric Rahill
I'm trying to eat better. But my wife is a person who loves to shop for deals. And she routine routinely find these bags of candies or candy chocolates that are on sale and will buy them and bring them home.
Stavros Halkias
Which is great. I love that she's all about a.
Eric Rahill
Good deal and saving money. But whenever she has these sweets in the house, I am very tempted to eat them. And I don't know if it would be wrong of me to ask her to stop doing it.
Stavros Halkias
She deserves this guy's so scared of his wife. It's crazy.
Eric Rahill
Or if there's any advice you can give me how to keep from that temptation. Whether I work through not being tempted, no longer wanting to eat chocolates and candies or conversation with my wife to Stop buying them and filling up. Well, not filling up our pantry, but.
Stavros Halkias
He won't even buying them. And he won't even use harsh language in the describe description of this.
Eric Rahill
I love how he's saying, like, well, I really respect that she's saving money on candy.
Stavros Halkias
It's not dry. It's not. You need.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
It's like she always gets.
Katie Nolan
There's no such thing as a good deal on something you don't need.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, exactly. Truly, like, you don't. What is it? Like, do you live in a dimension where Halloween is every day? What do you need? What do you mean? Candy. What do you need to save money on candy for?
Katie Nolan
I'm picturing, like, you know when you check out at Marshalls. Yes.
Eric Rahill
It's like six years old.
Stavros Halkias
Something you've never heard of. It's like cinnamon, Twix, coffee flavors, mango, guava, Twizzlers.
Eric Rahill
I also like how he was like. And she brings it home and I become tempted by them. Like, it's like sexual almost.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Katie Nolan
It's like there's two problems here. That he can't talk to his wife and two, that he can't resist candy.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah. But I do love that he's like, should I have a pretty straightforward conversation with my wife or should I become the type of person that is not tempted by candy? He's like, should I completely. Should I completely redo my, you know, the way I'm programmed? Should I become like a. Should I get like Buddhist monk level?
Eric Rahill
Yeah, you can't beat sugar. Sugar has a crazy hold over our society.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
You know, I mean, amen, brother. Keep.
Stavros Halkias
I'm legit. You're actually right.
Eric Rahill
That is a serious chemical brother. And you might laugh about it.
Stavros Halkias
I'm serious.
Eric Rahill
No, I'm chocolate flavored. But that is a drug that is very powerful. Same as alcohol or anything else.
Stavros Halkias
We're in the weird. We're in the weird vortex of both joking and serious about this. You know what I mean? Like, it is crazy.
Katie Nolan
It's like the most addictive substance.
Stavros Halkias
It's so much. I have done every drug, Cokes. Yeah. Yeah, you're.
Katie Nolan
I really shouldn't.
Stavros Halkias
No, she's fine. Really, really shouldn't. But. No, I know, but, like, I have gotten up on pretty much everything. I mean, I've never shot heroin, but I've taken plenty of pills that are the same thing and without a doubt can't. Like, candy's so much. You could put Xanax and you. And there's like chocolate covered almonds and I will eat the chocolate covered almond. And then like, that's what I mean. I'm in a hotel. I'm fucked. Because of the little snack bar.
Eric Rahill
You're getting Jordan almonds, dude.
Stavros Halkias
They're so good. Jordan ones are good.
Eric Rahill
Funniest candy on the planet. I guess that's candy coated, right?
Stavros Halkias
Candy coated. Jordan almonds are interesting because Greek people use them as actually, to me, they're very. To me, they have a religious connotation.
Eric Rahill
Yeah, they definitely do.
Stavros Halkias
Because Greek people give them out on a baptism. They're part of. You get a little party favor and you get Jordan almonds. Yeah. And so I just. I would cry sometimes. I would find like old ones that my mom forgot about. Stale ass Jordan almonds, just like a fat little five year old. But yeah, I mean, this guy is so scared of his wife, it's hysterical.
Katie Nolan
I guess there's three problems going on.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, that's. That is the problem. Fear, fear, wife, insane wife. Fear, fear, insane wife.
Eric Rahill
Weight gain, sugar, and he's trying to lose weight.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah.
Eric Rahill
That's amazing.
Stavros Halkias
So you think that your wife values saving money on candy that it's not clear, is actually necessary in your home more than she values helping you have a healthier and longer life? You think your wife would get pissed.
Katie Nolan
I feel like it's a really. I don't like confrontation at all. But I think even I could deal with this one. I could be like, hey, babe, I just, you know, I'm trying not to eat so much candy.
Stavros Halkias
Can you stop buying Reese's?
Eric Rahill
You should actually motivate her by doing, hire someone on Fiverr. Get a kid in Sweden, wherever. They design a picture of you with cum gutters.
Stavros Halkias
Right. You're fully jacked.
Eric Rahill
Like all Savelle, like sinewy. Say, this is me without candy. And if you continue to bring this in my house, our household, that's perfect.
Stavros Halkias
You're killing this guy. This man will never live.
Eric Rahill
He's gonna be smited by his wife.
Stavros Halkias
Yeah, I mean, I would love to talk to this guy about his relationship with his wife.
Eric Rahill
He sounded very innocent. So maybe there's not maybe.
Katie Nolan
What if she's like one of those, like, you know that relationship dynamic where like someone's like force feeding the other one.
Stavros Halkias
I'm really scared of. Of finding somebody like that. If someone like that enters my life, I'm done. If a hot woman was like, have more dessert. Do you know how I do want to stay in bed?
Katie Nolan
I can bring you food.
Eric Rahill
Oh, man.
Stavros Halkias
I would be.
Eric Rahill
That's a Horror movie.
Stavros Halkias
That's who Satan sends me. That's truly, like. That would destroy me. Destroy me. There is no more devious person to bring into my life.
Katie Nolan
Baby, you hungry?
Stavros Halkias
I mean, that would kill me. Kill me. So. Yeah, dude. I mean, I don't know what to tell you. You're a coward. Talk to your wife. Yeah, God bless you. Talk to your wife. It's insane that you're even.
Katie Nolan
Or just say it and have a little candy every day.
Stavros Halkias
Well, that's. The other question is like. The other question is why? How out of shape are you?
Katie Nolan
Yes.
Stavros Halkias
Does she want you? Is this a weird thing where she's like, you're too fat, and then she's also bringing candy? Like, we're really putting. She could just be a nice woman who likes buying candy, but at the same time, that's possible. But either way, you need to learn to stand up for yourself in the most minute ways possible.
Eric Rahill
Right?
Stavros Halkias
I can't think of, like, you. Just like you just said, Katie, this is barely confrontation.
Katie Nolan
Yeah.
Stavros Halkias
In a vacuum, this isn't even something you worry about. So it's either you're scared of your wife or you're such a people pleaser. He's so worried about bringing anything up.
Katie Nolan
He's got. I'm sure he's got a whole world of problems.
Eric Rahill
Find some coupons for fruit or something. Sneak them under her pillow at night.
Stavros Halkias
Yep.
Eric Rahill
And then, you know, oh, God, I'd.
Katie Nolan
Hate to think that she thinks she's doing something really sweet.
Eric Rahill
That's.
Stavros Halkias
That's. And it's all one conversation. It's one conversation that could have solved everything.
Katie Nolan
Instead, talk to her, man.
Stavros Halkias
Just talk to her. Also. It's just like, how much candy is in this house? Who's eating it?
Eric Rahill
I don't know. There's many questions.
Stavros Halkias
What's she like? You know what I mean? Like, is she, like, a little. She a little plump? She doesn't give a. Is he. Does that his actual problem? I mean, there's so many questions here, folks, and we'll never get to the bottom of Cliffhanger.
Katie Nolan
Yeah, but I loved this question.
Stavros Halkias
Talk to your wife, brother. And you know what I think will really help your relationship? A night out at the movies. Don't you guys think?
Eric Rahill
Oh, wow.
