Elvis
I like how the intro music's now on a boombox. Yeah.
Stavi
You're in our temporary Manhattan studios here in the NYU Tisch School.
Elvis
Nice joint.
Stavi
Yeah, Real nice joint. Wild Elvis is now a adjunct professor.
Eldest
This is podcast production. This is on campus. Yeah. This is so crazy.
Stavi
We're right next to the dean's office.
Eldest
Dude. We walked in the building, the guy was like. I was like, what the are you looking? We're here to fix the air conditioning.
Ryan D
I wonder what they think when I come in. I come in like every single day and I'm like going to stop probably thinking GI Bill.
Elvis
They see you coming through the door for gpa. Hanging in there.
Stavi
How dare you. I'll just. A strong 3.4.
Eldest
That's good.
Stavi
English major.
Ryan D
No, I was better than that. I think I was a 3.6. At least not brag.
Elvis
You finished college.
Eldest
36 is great.
Ryan D
I did finish college. I had a real bad year sophomore year. I was like super depressed. I failed a Shakespeare class. That didn't feel good. That should be like.
Eldest
And that made you depressed.
Ryan D
No, that was kind of.
Elvis
Because stupid Twelfth Night.
Eldest
Yeah.
Ryan D
Reading Shakespeare didn't help the depression.
Elvis
Sure.
Ryan D
But you know. Yeah, I was good in school. I was out.
Stavi
Yeah. You're talking to a couple good students here, fellas.
Elvis
Yeah, you too.
Stavi
I was. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Eldest
You're quite. You're quite intellectual.
Elvis
Intellectual. Yeah.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
I mean, dude, you guys are so stupid.
Eldest
I had a 2. 5 at Temple University, 249.
Stavi
I round up.
Elvis
I resent that comment.
Stavi
Yeah. The number one idiot thing, thinking putting glasses on makes you smart.
Elvis
Go for a bit.
Eldest
When I first. When I. You started. First came to the city. I didn't, obviously, you know, you're brand new, and you were hanging out with Bobby a lot, and you'd be on ykwd, and I'd be like, this guy is a genius. I was like, dude, he knows about everything.
Elvis
He was missing a tooth.
Eldest
I know.
Stavi
Later. The missing tooth came later.
Eldest
But then. Then you really fell apart at the seams. And I was like, all right, maybe. Maybe this guy doesn't have it all together.
Stavi
I was running on. I was running on fumes. There was like. The way I say it is like, I stop. Once I started comedy for real, I was like, all right, this is where my brain is going.
Eldest
Yeah. And everything else just. It has to break down to zero.
Stavi
It's. That's 100. I've cannibalized all my knowledge to just be a little better at comedy like this. Pathetic to be able to do podcasts. And so right when I moved was the tail end of, like, my inherited knowledge from when I was in college. And. And then it was just, you know, 25. The year 25 to 26, and then 26 to 27. I was a idiot. It was Flowers for Algernon, basically, where I just became a idiot all over again.
Elvis
That's a geisha or something like that. I have.
Stavi
Sorry. It's a literary reference. It does work. Guys.
Elvis
I read Atlas Shrugged.
Stavi
I felt stupid immediately. I mean, that's hysterical. Atlas Shrugged?
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
That's the one book you've read?
Eldest
No, he didn't read it. I got to call him out. He didn't read. He read. You might have read.
Elvis
I read most of it.
Stavi
How did you feel about Atlas Shrugged?
Elvis
I thought it was cool.
Eldest
Those wizards were weird.
Elvis
I have about five minutes on pretty much, like, any arena. I got about five minutes where I can sound smart. I went to dude.
Eldest
I mean, you know, you make me.
Stavi
You come. I do.
Elvis
I do make me.
Eldest
This is why people think I'm an cuz.
Elvis
I can't topic.
Eldest
What. Atlas Shrug, the book you said you read.
Elvis
It's about a guy named Henry Reardon. It's really an intellectual piece.
Eldest
All right, he's vamping already. Second line.
Stavi
Oh, it's an intellectual piece, huh?
Elvis
Folks, we'll be right back. I went to a wedding one time, and somehow I got sat next to, I swear to God, a NASA scientist, this older guy. And I don't know, I had literally just the right amount. I had like two and a half beers in me. I had them out a couple of bacon wraps, wrapped scallops. And I had a five minute conversation with this guy and he went to my parents afterwards. He's like, you know, your son is very intelligent. I saw that shit on ancient aliens last night.
Eldest
Your hair is all fucked up.
Stavi
Oh, that's fucking awesome.
Elvis
Did we go to the moon?
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
Or maybe not like some ancient astronauts theorists project. I got sounds very intelligent.
Eldest
I got nothing in the tank to talk to anybody about. I'll just ask questions to sound engaged. I feel like if I get a couple good questions, you know, how's that happen?
Stavi
Ask a clarifying question. They tell you something like, so that's actually. So what. What is that? How does that implicate the other thing? You just have to kind of like, oh, yeah, within the conversation.
Eldest
Within the five words you got. You got to bridge two of them.
Stavi
Absolutely.
Elvis
Hit them with. Are you happy in your work?
Stavi
Oh, that's. That's always smart.
Elvis
Fake chicken wraps. Hang on one second.
Stavi
And do you find that fulfilling? That's good. Because you make them be introspective.
Elvis
Yes.
Stavi
Now, now it's not about facts. Now it's about emotions. Now we've entered the. The artists arena.
Elvis
Sure.
Stavi
And I know you at that wedding felt that way. You were a thespian, I'm sure.
Elvis
Sure. I can hit. I can do a. I got like one or two half Shakespeare monologues in me. I got two or three. I got like a. Like an E. Cummings quote. I can hit you something from the beginning of the Love Song of Jail for proof rock by T.S. elliott from Dante's Inferno. After that, it's all Phillies.
Eldest
The end of Home Alone.
Elvis
That's my granddaughter up there.
Stavi
Oh, that's interesting. That reminds me of the end of Aladdin when he says, when he sets the genie free.
Elvis
Jafar was really a tortured individual.
Stavi
Do you have a FA Now? Do you have a favorite production you were in? Fully any kind. Because now we're talking Shakespeare. Did you ever talk about, like, back then? Sure.
Elvis
Just currently.
Stavi
Not currently. At any point, at any point in your acting career before. Before we got you to, you know.
Eldest
A little bit of mustard on it?
Stavi
Yeah. Yeah.
Elvis
By the way, we never talked about this. Do you remember the conversation? Me, you, and who the else was sitting there when Thomas Hayden Church was sitting in The. In the office of tires.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
We were having the fattest conversation.
Stavi
We really were. It was me and you and Tom's Ain't judge just trapped between us. And we're talking about like how we like order. Yeah. How we like to like bacon cheeseburgers. Like we were having a. How do you get your money's worth?
Eldest
How do you get extra bacon for free?
Stavi
Level conversation with just a great actor.
Elvis
That's what you do.
Stavi
And he was like. And he's like trying to be polite. You could tell in his heart what he wants to say is, shut the up, you fat.
Elvis
I think I said something like. You feel like you're right back in Hollywood, huh?
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
Yeah. I don't remember, but it really was a wildly fat conversation. Like we should have been ashamed to be having it alone.
Elvis
I know.
Eldest
Let alone on set in front of the world renowned actor.
Elvis
He's gorgeous, by the way.
Stavi
He's a good looking guy.
Elvis
Good looking dude.
Stavi
Great actor too. All his scenes came out great.
Elvis
Yeah, he was awesome, man. He's awesome.
Stavi
He was fun to work with. But yeah, I did feel bad for him.
Elvis
I only did one actual production of 12 of. Of Shakespeare. I did Twelfth Night at the Hedro Theater.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
And I played one of the cops.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
And I remember that like none of us knew what the. Like you said you studied Shakespeare. That's. First of all, that's one of those things that there's maybe, I don't know, 2,000 people in the world that should be allowed to perform that in front of other people. Theoretically, Shakespeare, yes, for sure. And I mean, I'm real stupid. But you can't even understand what the fuck that guy saying unless somebody breaks.
Eldest
The fuck are you talking about, dude?
Elvis
That's your mother, you sick fuck. Unless you have someone that can break it down. So we had to have. They hired some guy.
Stavi
They hired a Philly trash translator.
Eldest
Delco. By the way, this isn't at the Miller Theater. This is like YMCA level do show.
Elvis
Oh, no, no, no.
Eldest
He gets so mad with. I literally all I have to say is ymca.
Elvis
He gets so mad. Very, very good theater. Very smart people. I just happen to be an idiot. And they had to like bring somebody in to like explain. Like, I don't understand the language. It's an old English, you know what I mean? And not the good one.
Eldest
You know, Struggle with new English too.
Elvis
Yeah, I like Twelfth Night, you know.
Stavi
Doesn'T have to be Shakespeare, just any production.
Elvis
I did Biloxi Blues. That was great.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
Yeah, that was fun.
Stavi
What was your role in Biloxi Wowski.
Elvis
Or whatever his name was.
Eldest
The.
Elvis
The, like, the mean, racist Polish guy.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
Yeah, that was cool.
Stavi
I'm not familiar. That sounds good.
Elvis
Did Winnie the Pooh.
Stavi
A little speed.
Eldest
I'm more of an Eeyore. Man, this is fun.
Elvis
I was a. I didn't.
Eldest
No, this was.
Elvis
This was children's theater. We had to do children's theater every Saturday. And they packed this place out.
Stavi
Yeah, that was probably the best.
Elvis
Dude, it was awesome.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
And me and my roommate smoking a lot of weed at the time. A couple other things we were doing.
Eldest
To be hanging around the children on Saturdays.
Elvis
We were.
Eldest
We were all coming off a bender dressed as a.
Elvis
Shut up.
Eldest
Why?
Stavi
Oh, eldest. Just decided to check the frame.
Elvis
There we go.
Stavi
We've been recording 10 minutes. It dawned on him. He should maybe.
Elvis
God, your goddamn movie started.
Eldest
Get away with that.
Elvis
Soderbergh's directing this.
Ryan D
That's right.
Stavi
That's right.
Elvis
The whole thing. From the floor.
Stavi
Oh, he's doing a little adjustment. That's not a good sign.
Eldest
Big man's walking the boards up here. He's scooching closer and closer to me.
Elvis
We did what we were. We were doing Winnie the Pooh. I think I've told you this. Kevin and me and my roommate are, like, doing a scene back and forth. And I come out and I'm like, what happened to Piglet's house? And I'm talk. 150 kids and their parents packed in. They're hanging on every word.
Stavi
Yeah. Yeah.
Elvis
And the line's supposed to be, piglet's house blew down. And my roommate goes. I'll go, what happened to Piglet? And he's like, his house burned down. Burned down and 200 kids.
Stavi
Brutal. He's base. Smell that?
Elvis
He's bacon cooking them low and slow.
Stavi
They wrapped him in a crescent roll. He's a pig in the blank. He's a Piglet in the blank. Now.
Elvis
Did you study any acting before?
Eldest
I pictured. I pictured that scene from Blades's Glory or whatever when Will Ferrell's doing, like, the Disney on Ice and he's in the helmet. That's how I pick all up.
Stavi
Yeah. What was the. The costume setup?
Elvis
It was like, gray sweatpants.
Eldest
You got a boner.
Stavi
You're flopping Grace. Wet plant and face paint, I guess. Or would you have a little bit.
Elvis
Of face paint and then set of ears or something?
Stavi
It's bad. And. And that was children's theater on top of regular production.
Elvis
Like, yeah, we did that every Saturday.
Stavi
During the week, you would do, you know, Biloxi.
Elvis
If we were in. If we were in. Whatever. So the way it worked is we lived at the. The farmhouse that they had. We studied every day with different directors and all that kind of stuff. Do, like, scene study class, moving classes and all that stuff. And then as you got in there, you would, like, start out, like, whatever the season was, because they were on, like, the Philadelphia theater circuit. So you would, like, I do the lights, and one kid would be working as a stagehand. And then when the next production came, we would get to audition for that. And if somebody would get a part in that and somebody, you know, wouldn't or whatever, then you just. You do everything.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah.
Elvis
And then eventually they did one for basically our class because we had, like, you know, like six or seven young guys. So we did Biloxi Blues. So we have, like, our run at some point.
Stavi
Gotcha.
Elvis
During the time that we were there, remember, we did that Winnie the Pooh at a. At, like, an inner city camp for kids that, like, got to go out to the.
Eldest
You fatty. Yo.
Elvis
And we had to use. Was outside. We had to do microphones. It was August in, like, somewhere in, like, Delaware county, like.
Stavi
Yeah, Hot.
Elvis
As we were in the field, basically. And the kid to play Winnie the Pooh was this big black dude, and his costume was terrible. Like, his was coming undone. And we're going around with a cordless microphone. It was like, Maury, it was bad news.
Stavi
That's beautiful. The. It's so beautiful. The arts are so beautiful.
Elvis
The arts are beautiful.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
I don't. Dude, I'm so. I come from, like, such. Just not. You know, I don't. I don't understand Broadway. Like, I go see plays.
Stavi
You don't understand. Just.
Eldest
It's like. So I'm like, let's just go watch the movie. It's so awesome. It's crazy. I'm like, I see the guy behind the thing, like, what are we doing? Why are we all acting like this is good?
Stavi
So you think the movie's real?
Eldest
I think the movie's better. I don't think it's real. I also. I mean, you know what I mean? I don't see the green screen. Right.
Elvis
You know?
Stavi
Right, right.
Elvis
I didn't get the Lion King with that dude.
Eldest
I went for the Lion King. And I'm like, this is. I'm looking at the guy behind the costume.
Stavi
Right. It's pissing you off.
Eldest
Yeah, I got hit with a bird.
Stavi
Oh, you got hit in the head by A bird.
Eldest
Not a fan.
Stavi
Who did you take to Broadway?
Eldest
I went with my wife, my brother, my sister, my. And like they have my sister, brother in law, and nieces and nephews. So it was like a family outage.
Elvis
Your mother in law go, did my mother.
Eldest
No, he's got a thing for my mother in law. He met my mother in law very recently and is like wildly obsessed. And now he'll just keep giving me scenarios where he's my father in law and would I be okay with that?
Elvis
Straight to boarding school.
Eldest
They're not even creative. He's like, let's say I came home and it was in the morning. I'm like, no. And he's like, what if it was the afternoon?
Stavi
What is it? What is the draws you to. To Kevin's mother in law?
Elvis
Well, listen, first of all, it's not this disrespect show.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Elvis
It's a family diner, of course. Just. Yeah, very beautiful. Very, you know, tall and slender. She looks like an old European model. And we had a, you know, bit of chemistry.
Eldest
Hugged her five times in 13.
Stavi
You guys are probably the same age, I would guess too.
Elvis
Spring chicken here.
Stavi
Yeah, there's no way. Yeah, there's no way. I don't care how much older like a slender European woman is than you. You're not outliving her. You know what I mean?
Elvis
No, not at all.
Eldest
She's been doing yoga every day for like 45 years.
Elvis
We got the antibiotics and over here. That ain't my fault. Cut back on that yellow number five. You ever see a Fanta in Europe? It's like cola color over here. They're pumping all that orange.
Stavi
Yeah, that's the big difference.
Eldest
That's your problem.
Elvis
Yeah, the Fanta. I do like an orange.
Eldest
You got a yellow number five problem.
Elvis
What's your go to soda if you do fast food?
Stavi
What are you getting if I do fast food? I mean, I've just become a diet soda guy.
Elvis
No shit.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
What's a DC man? You Coke Zero guy. What are you doing?
Stavi
I prefer Coke Zero. Now, if I'm going to a fast food place, usually the most exotic diet option you might come across as Diet Dr. Pepper.
Eldest
Yes, a DDP.
Stavi
And so that is my number one go to. Oftentimes you settle for a Diet Coke.
Eldest
Yeah, but I don't Diet Coke. There's nothing.
Elvis
I used to push back on those, those Coca Cola magic machines, you know I'm talking about.
Stavi
Oh, I love touch screens.
Elvis
Oh, man, I used to feel right. I used to push back. But when you hit that Diet Dr. Pepper button, it comes up with a. You feel. I feel like I'm on the spaceship.
Stavi
Yeah. Vanilla, a little bit of cream soda.
Elvis
A little bit of cherry, a little bit of strawberry. Get it all in there.
Stavi
I like, I'm with that. And I don't give a. I'm that. Maybe that's why, because I'm a. I'm a diet soda guy. You, you are so restrained in most circumstances that with the Coke freestyle machine, you can really go crazy.
Eldest
I feel like Thomas Hayden Church right now.
Stavi
Is it Coke freestyle?
Elvis
Is that what it's called? That's awesome.
Stavi
It's the Coke freestyle machine. I love. I. I like to get. That's my canvas. As far as I'm concerned, I'm a fucking artist. My fucking large fountain. That's, you know, that's a work of art.
Elvis
And I tell you what, no matter where you go, the ice in that thing is the same and it's the best ice.
Stavi
Yeah. And I've heard crushed ice. Crushed ice is good. And I've heard some negatives where it's like, look, you're. You still have the leftover whatever the last guy got.
Elvis
Yeah, no shit. That's what I'm going for.
Stavi
You like that?
Elvis
Yeah, I want a little. I'm on chip a little bit. Yeah. Like I rub it in my gums.
Stavi
I think that could be easily. You just hit it with a little water before.
Eldest
I don't disagree. I just. I like each individual spout. I like that there's. All the lines aren't the same. I'm very. I'm old school Janice. I like the original.
Stavi
And you're a Coke guy.
Eldest
I would guess I'm a Diet Coke. I mean, yeah, it was Coke, but I'm. I'm Diet Coke and I'm Even get. I'm getting off the diet Cokes.
Elvis
But Pepsi every once in a while ain't bad when you go out.
Eldest
I was doing like. I was doing like seven a day, easy.
Elvis
Oh wow.
Eldest
Easy seven. It's too many diet.
Stavi
I. I will treat myself to a good night diet soda. That's why I've gotten into. I've very much gotten into crosses his legs.
Ryan D
Yes.
Stavi
I will do caffeine free diet soda. So I'm all over the place. Right.
Eldest
Is that the gold one?
Stavi
The gold one?
Eldest
That's for grandparents, dude.
Stavi
That's wild.
Elvis
You know what's for grandparents? Diet root beer. Cuz root beer has no caffeine in it.
Stavi
I'm a big diet root Beer guy.
Elvis
My dad was huge on it.
Stavi
Diet Sprite. Also there's. Now there's a holiday. There's a cranberry Sprite.
Elvis
Spiced flavored sprinkles, a cream. You know what's nice around the house?
Stavi
Ginger. The ginger ale with a touch of cranberry.
Elvis
Come on, open the presents. Sing some Christmas carols.
Stavi
I'm with you. I'm with you, man.
Elvis
Yeah, a little touch.
Stavi
And then if I need to have a little caffeine, I'm going Wild Cherry. I'll the craziest will get a diet. Diet Pepsi. The only time I'm dipping my toes in the Pepsi pool is if I go Wild Cherry doctor or Diet Pepsi.
Elvis
While chewies were talking about that downstairs, you got a sixer sitting on the counter.
Stavi
That's right.
Elvis
Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi. Zero sugar.
Stavi
Yes.
Caller 1
Which.
Elvis
I don't know what the difference is between the diet and the zero sugar, but they got something going on.
Eldest
It's the chemical.
Stavi
A different formulation.
Elvis
Is it.
Eldest
It's the. Not a. What's the one that gives you a cancer?
Stavi
Wow. They all probably do.
Eldest
I mean the one that's like they, that's like the reason.
Stavi
I don't think any of them actually give you cancer, by the way.
Eldest
I think those studies, those poor mice.
Stavi
Well, what happens is they give them like the amount that would be found in 50, 000 diet sodas.
Elvis
Wouldn't we all be.
Eldest
I'm getting close to that.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
What do we have all dropped dead by now if it was that bad for you.
Stavi
Yeah. And. And sure and famously American health is only going up and up.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
We have. We haven't gotten worse off.
Elvis
Take that commies. There we go. There we go.
Eldest
I'll do a dial up model. One of my favorite indulgences is doing a Diet Coke at a diner. For break.
Stavi
Diet Coke for breakfast, Diet Coke for.
Eldest
I get a black coffee, a water if we're on the road. Black coffee, water, Diet Coke.
Elvis
We. Where did we catch a screamer? Oh, it was that. It was at jfk, at the Palm when we. When we flew after the last tour.
Eldest
Yeah. Do you eat at the airport?
Stavi
No.
Eldest
Really?
Elvis
You don't? We go there early. You don't get.
Stavi
We get to the airport early to have breakfast.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
Are you at early?
Eldest
We get there early. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stavi
To have breakfast at a overpriced shitty restaurant.
Eldest
Yeah. If we're flying out of jfk, we're hitting that Palm. You go to the time every day.
Stavi
You guys are.
Eldest
That's like what are you guys doing.
Stavi
I mean, that's.
Eldest
Our flight's not for three hours.
Stavi
That's insane.
Eldest
No, it's not.
Stavi
You plan to eat at the.
Elvis
What do you do?
Stavi
I have breakfast at my home.
Eldest
That stinks.
Stavi
And no, it's. It's a better quality. It's ch. I mean, those breakfasts are probably costing you, what, $40?
Eldest
You act like we're good with money.
Stavi
But it's not even good.
Elvis
You.
Stavi
I've gotten microwaved eggs. I. Oh, my God.
Eldest
You sit here and talk about holiday and express. The Palms, a good restaurant.
Stavi
Good restaurant?
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
The Palmer JFK is a good restaurant. It's fun. You go back there, they have the same kitchen. They have the same kitchen as the Chili's to go. It's all connected in one place.
Elvis
Nah, it's good.
Eldest
It's good.
Stavi
The Palm Steakhouse.
Elvis
The Palm Steakhouse.
Stavi
I mean, I've never eaten at a steakhouse in a airport because. Yeah. I mean, I'm not white trash that won the lottery, which I guess is what you are.
Eldest
Have you seen the show? What are you talking about? We just hit the world's biggest scratch.
Elvis
We're here.
Stavi
Still be doing okay. Do it once.
Eldest
I feel.
Elvis
We take all the boys, we all sit down, get the American breakfast.
Stavi
Sometimes crazy. Go to a real restaurant.
Elvis
They don't have them in the airport.
Eldest
First of all, you live in New York City.
Stavi
Take the guys to a dinner the night before you.
Elvis
We do that, too.
Eldest
Can I make it? How many? Let's. Can you look up the Palm for me? Give me a few. The Palm is a good restaurant.
Stavi
Not the one at the airport.
Elvis
I'm not the same.
Stavi
No, it's not.
Eldest
They help the idiots to a corporate.
Stavi
They really don't. You guys are so stupid. I promise you, whatever it is, they're all franchise. Whatever it is.
Eldest
Look, it started as a bit, but I'm getting mad about this.
Stavi
Is it better than chilies?
Eldest
Yes. Yes.
Stavi
Yeah, I. Yes. But everything.
Eldest
First of all, what's wrong with chili?
Stavi
The airport. I mean, again, we've eaten at Airport Chili's plenty of times, but everything at the airport is like three steps less than it is outside.
Eldest
I know. So we've acclimated to go, like, okay, I realize it's all bad, but this is good for being bad.
Stavi
And what I'm saying, you. Someone's got a gun to your head and says, you have to have breakfast at the airport or I'll kill you. No one is doing that. You can have breakfast at a diner here. It'll be better.
Elvis
Well here's the. Here's.
Eldest
I know but we're not going to go to the we're not going to go to meet at a diner at Midtown. They'd all go to jfk.
Stavi
Yeah, I guess that's why you just get on the flight.
Elvis
I'm drinking out of his Stanley mug judging us.
Stavi
It's a hydro flask, thank you very much.
Elvis
And it's root beer.
Stavi
Yeah, it's a root beer float.
Elvis
Here's just just at a glance on.
Ryan D
Google the Palm the Google rating is 3.1. The one that yell on Yelp. It has a 2.3.
Eldest
Come on.
Stavi
Yeah, I mean the if okay listen. If it happened once if you guys got there, you're like oh we got there early. You plan to do.
Eldest
Oh yeah, we all love it.
Elvis
It's flights at nine, we get there at seven.
Eldest
We zip there two hours early. Yeah, okay.
Stavi
That is pissing me the why sleep an extra hour? What are you talking.
Eldest
You gotta get the screen.
Stavi
You're gonna be there with all. All weekend with the boy Ridge wallet. What a Prada. We're talking premium materials. Aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber. Slim, modern design. Up to 12 cards plus some cash. Eldest you're still a luddite. You haven't seen the the light of Ridge wall. We gotta get you a Ridge brother. I love my Ridge wallet. Lifetime warranty. It's the last wallet you will ever have to buy. I have a pal, you might know him, his name's Nick. He's had a Ridge wallet for almost 10 years now. He loves it. I have a buddy, he's switched out a couple times. Doesn't have to pay for it. The guy's got a little cash but if you wanted to he could call in a lifetime warranty for a new one if ever it failed. Don't just take our word for it. There's over 100,000 five star reviews. Now I haven't dabbled with this yet but I need to because I'm a very forgetful guy. I lose my shit all the time. I used to lose wallets when I was younger. Thank God I've gotten over that. But if that happens to you, Ridge has a new airtag attachment that will always let you know exactly where your wallet is before panic kicks in. And not just losing it, you know, out and about. I lose my shit around I've been late to so many things cause I just don't have it. That's a thing of the past with the airtag attachment and they got not just Wallets. We're talking key cases, suitcases, rings, all built with the same sleek, durable design. I love a duffel bag. I love their backpack. I have a little black backpack from Ridge that I, when I'm just going around town going for my strolls, I throw that on there. I throw a notebook if I want to take. If I want to work on some jokes, I throw an external battery. If my, you know, phone is running low, I throw sometimes a couple pairs of socks. I'm strolling so much, sometimes I like a fresh pair. I'll tell you, I'll take my feet out in the park and switch my socks.
Elvis
I don't care.

Elvis
Here's the real problem. Him and I'll have breakfast. We'll get on a plane if it's a longer flight, and all of a sudden, they walk up and hand us that in flight menu, of course. And we both have to look at each other like, I've been off.
Eldest
I've been off it. I'm off it.
Stavi
That is the sign that your life is going. Is going good. When you can say no to a second breakfast.
Eldest
A second breakfast in 90 minutes?
Stavi
Yeah, absolutely, Abs. I'm not even kidding that because there's. Once you're in the. In the sky, it doesn't feel like you're in real life.
Eldest
Well, I do. The one time I rationalized was I'm like, I put my bag up. Like, I was like, that's work. I've earned another breakfast.
Elvis
That's in a vacuum.
Stavi
Yeah, it's in a vacuum. It doesn't. Everything in the. In the sky, dude, when you can say no, let's say you say no, the breakfast. And then at the end of the flight, you say no to the cookie.
Eldest
That's great.
Stavi
I mean, then you're Gandhi.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
You're off the cookie.
Elvis
I'm off.
Eldest
I'm off to snack.
Stavi
My eyes say otherwise. Henry.
Eldest
I did see him.
Elvis
What? You get a new prescription. Huh? This guy can see the future.
Stavi
You're off the cookie, but you'll just have a whole omelet.
Elvis
Yeah, we had. We had Italian beef last time with french fries, which was strange, but we did it.
Stavi
How did the fries hold up in the sky?
Elvis
Not great. You had no. I Had polenta. You had potatoes or something like that.
Eldest
I don't. Did I. I don't remember eating.
Elvis
Honestly, I was watching it the whole time.
Stavi
Yeah, I just. I can't. I just value sleep so much more.
Eldest
Yeah, we don't. We're not asleep and crew really, we're up early. We're all. It's really weird. We all get there early. Like if. So let's say the flight's at nine. We'll do a. JFK calls at seven. Yeah, Check bags. Takes two minutes, but we go, I gotta check the bag.
Stavi
I'll give you that. Whatever. When we check bags, we get there earlier.
Eldest
Yeah, yeah. So we get there at 7 and everybody will be 15 minutes early.
Stavi
So like we get through it and.
Eldest
We got proper two hours of chill. Everybody likes to do their own thing. Somebody, you know, some people go hit the weed pen in the bathroom for 15 minutes. Some people go like, go buy snacks, whatever it is. And we all meet back. It's very, Let me. Very, very family.
Stavi
Here's. Here's the thing though. You guys act like you're going on vacation. You're going to drink.
Eldest
It's a night. We don't flight to Cleveland.
Stavi
You're going to work.
Elvis
We don't drink. Yeah, we don't drink. We don't drink.
Eldest
We do have a. No drink.
Stavi
You we took on the way home. This is 30 weekends a year of your life. You're a tour. You're touring comedians. It can't be a little treat every.
Elvis
Time you're 15 and we co headline.
Stavi
Anyway, whatever.
Eldest
You know what?
Stavi
Fuck, let me paint a picture.
Elvis
Let me paint a picture for you. All right, let's say you're doing. You're doing two shows in Chicago. You guys fly in, you do the show on a Thursday, you wake up in a hotel Friday morning, you two aren't texting each other around 8, 8:30. Are you feeling about a little breakfast.
Stavi
When we're there in the same city, in the same hotel? Yes.
Elvis
Okay.
Stavi
Not the night before in my home. Where are we gonna eat? At LaGuardia?
Eldest
No, you go to Bubbies, you go to Bubbles. Listen, God, hit me. Where's my, where's my, where's my. Down the barrel. That new, that new thing in the new wing, the Delta Win or whatever. Yeah, Bubbles.
Stavi
Bubbies.
Elvis
Yeah, Bubbies. Nice joint. Like family.
Eldest
The good thing about there is you sit down in the mid. It's in the middle. It's a little. If the vibes feel off because you're like in the middle of the terminal. But you sit there, you order on your phone, which in the airport I don't like. But you gotta order on your phone, you gotta pay the phone around to five, six people. They all order. But the staff there will come out and like. Re. Like, if you want a refill or another Diet Coke. Yeah, she'll just get it for you. She takes care, you know what I mean? You don't have to order through the phone again.
Stavi
You guys are hilarious, man. About how nice the Bubbies at LaGuardia is.
Eldest
It's great, dude. It's brand new. It's. I love.
Elvis
I don't know where to get a real restaurant.
Eldest
That's a real restaurant. They got one down, they got one downtown. That's a New York restaurant. At the end of the day. Listen, I'm telling me, Jay, JFK is in LaGuardia. Are in New York City as a whole. They are better than most restaurants around the world.
Elvis
I'm gonna tell you.
Eldest
Yeah, they gotta be. They gotta be. This is New York City, the city that never sleeps.
Elvis
I'm gonna tell you something. Sacramento airport, at the Chipotle, get the oysters Rockefeller. You will thank me in the morning. You don't need Zeppelin.
Eldest
Remember that one time we had to do Psycho Changs in the morning?
Stavi
I forget where that one had to.
Elvis
Chinese in the morning.
Eldest
Chinese eggs.
Elvis
How you doing?
Stavi
And what does that menu look like?
Elvis
It's the same. We all at Orange Chicken.
Eldest
Yeah. Do the orange chicken omelette.
Stavi
I do. I mean, don't get me wrong. When I am. When my life is in shambles, I.
Eldest
We're not killing it over here.
Stavi
I love when I wait when I'm like, well, I have to get breakfast. And then it's like, you know, airport time is different because they serve. Serve breakfast from like 5am to 9:30.
Eldest
I want to push back. They should serve till at least 11 because you're getting there early. It's like I. I'm not ready for, you know, you know, noodles at, at.
Stavi
10Am But I will say when I am like, you know, when I'm just being a real slutty boy. And it's. I'm there at 10:15. I'm like, oh, I. I guess I have to get a cheesesteak.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
You know what I mean? Instead of eggs.
Eldest
Because you like, I'll get it. Well, they're done.
Stavi
Also, by the way, something. Another fat thought.
Eldest
I'll do the beef Wellington.
Stavi
Breakfast is always healthy. Yeah, that's one of the fattest thoughts there is. That breakfast is always, always healthy, no matter what you get.
Elvis
I really.
Eldest
I'm not gonna push back on that. It's the best way. You got to start the day, you know, it's the most important meal.
Elvis
Every time I. Every time I go to order breakfast, you know, the home fries. I'm not getting the home fries. And toast. I'm not getting the home fries and toast. I'll do sourdough and roasted potatoes, please.
Stavi
Yeah, but no home fries.
Elvis
No.
Stavi
That's what I'm saying, though. You can convince yourself. Home fries. It's potato.
Elvis
Yes.
Eldest
A little bit. I'll do a little bit of them.
Stavi
They don't deep fry it.
Eldest
They put it on the skillet omelettes. Like 4,200 calories.
Elvis
Sourdough, they say, is really good for you.
Eldest
Yeah, dude. This guy. This guy lives in one thing. He heard, and then it just sticks.
Stavi
Yeah, but a piece of toast, bread, two scrambled eggs. Two eggs and a. And a breakfast meat in your head, you're like, well, that's healthy.
Elvis
Chicken sausage.
Eldest
I'm getting ready to fly. I need my strength. You know what I mean?
Elvis
What if something happens?
Eldest
I'm getting ready to have my second breakfast.
Elvis
What if something happens?
Stavi
Right? What if we have to deplane? What if I have to open the things.
Eldest
He's going to stop somebody.
Elvis
Yeah. I gotta have my protein in me.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
You know what I mean?
Eldest
And I'm gonna have to get out of the way because he's crammed into the window.
Stavi
Oh, you're a window guy.
Elvis
I love the window.
Eldest
I'm an aisle man.
Stavi
That's. You're too fat to be a window.
Elvis
No, I love the window.
Eldest
Sits next to me, though.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
He pees like.
Eldest
He pees like Diet Coke in the morning.
Stavi
Yeah. I'm an owl guy, too. I think it's a fat man. Aisle is the way to go.
Eldest
Yeah. I like getting up. I like stretching the legs. I like, I think a little extra thigh space.
Elvis
But the aisle, if it's just like a, you know, if. If it's just like somewhat of a regular seat. I'm elbowing. I'm always getting hit. I'm always getting hit.
Stavi
That's. That's part of the hat. Is hazard. Hazard of the aisle. And being fat as.
Elvis
Yeah. Do you lift up the thing, the armrest on the aisle?
Stavi
If it pissed me off. They don't let some delays. Don't let you. If they do, I'll do it for sure.
Elvis
You can jimmy that underneath there.
Stavi
Some of the times you can't oh, we'll talk after. All right.
Eldest
Yeah, yeah.
Elvis
I got a little kit unfold like. Like a cat burglar.
Stavi
You're in there with a Phillips head.
Elvis
And we got an alle wrench on them. Trying to enjoy my third breakfast here at TSA Pre check, folks. Don't worry. I'll tell you where they. You let people lift up the arm on the side of the window. Then you can really get in there and snooze.
Stavi
I fully agree. What the is that?
Elvis
What's that gonna do? At least we're all dead anyway.
Stavi
Yeah. No, I agree. At least on the aisle. I can see the argument for we have to keep these animals penned in.
Ryan D
Sure.
Stavi
Because I would definitely abuse that.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
I would definitely hang my fat half my fat stom would be in the aisle. So fine. I get it. But the window, you gotta let it. I felt one time a place let me the. It allowed me to lift up window. It was incredible.
Elvis
Yeah. Those. They lock. They lock those.
Stavi
So the kid.
Elvis
They're smart.
Stavi
So even the kit doesn't work.
Elvis
Doesn't work. You gotta really. I've used like a toenail clipper and got back there and like, loosened up the latch. That's what you got to do Houdini over here. And then sometimes they get you with the toenail clipper.
Stavi
Right. It they confiscated.
Elvis
Yeah. But if somebody made a move and I had that toenail clipper, they'd be pretty glad that I was there.
Eldest
I would like to get. I would like to get your take on this. This is a big beef with us. I'm an aisle man.
Stavi
Yes.
Eldest
And we've never real. We've. This. This is like a real one. Like, we both don't like the way we act.
Stavi
Let's litigation.
Eldest
So we've never really, you know, as computer bags. We don't really.
Elvis
I don't know where you're going.
Stavi
I'm here to be an arbiter.
Eldest
So we'll land right. You know, we're in the front of the plane, of course. And I'll stand up right as I do stretch my legs. I'm in the aisle. That's my right.
Stavi
That's your right.
Eldest
It's my right. And then everybody else in the aisle kind of files in. So it gets tight. Everybody gets their bags down. He go. He'll be in there still in his seat. And I'll go get my bags back.
Elvis
Good.
Eldest
You have. You have your bag and you have your. Your resmed. The Top Gun mask.
Stavi
Of course. So it's two bags It's a light bag.
Elvis
Personal bag.
Eldest
No, your school bag and your carry on the medic.
Stavi
The medically excused.
Elvis
No, I know.
Stavi
Yeah. Yeah.
Elvis
I haven't used my resmed bag in a long time because it ripped. I paid for another one and never showed up. Resume, by the way. What's up with that? You'll be hearing from my attorney, eldest bubby.
Eldest
He's red. Shakespeare.
Elvis
I got a 3.2 Shakespeare. You guys are done.
Eldest
Too soon or not too soon.
Elvis
Okay?
Eldest
And I. I'm just. And I get mad because I know he's gonna ask and I'm gonna have to go. No one else is. Where are you gonna put your bat? You're just taking up realization.
Elvis
I get out and I. Dude, I feel that pressure.
Eldest
See, that's what you don't like.
Elvis
I feel that pressure. I feel like everybody on every plane on the tarmac is like, come on, fat ass.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
You know what I mean?
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
It takes me a second. I'm clicking the thing, I'm dragging it. Trying to get good eye contact with the flight attendant.
Stavi
Of course, of course, of course.
Eldest
It is kind of funny how he. Because I go, no, man. I'm like, I'm not gonna take. Because there's still people in the aisle who can't get their bags. Now I'm jamming up the thing with your bag.
Stavi
So here's. Here is what I would say, actually, I think I have a more extreme position than both of you, which is. I like that. I think the stand look, stand up, stretch your legs. I get that. Especially if you're a tall person. Stand up, stretch your legs, sit back down. I'm saying everyone's. Everyone's urgency. Sure. As soon as that bell rings, you hear the click, click, click, click. Everybody gets the up. Where the are you going?
Eldest
I get it.
Stavi
You're standing there for pure anxiety. It's just anxiety. It's also this weird. Like, I have to get off first. Like, now. If you have a connection you have to make, fine. I'll excuse that. But if you're just. If you've reached your destination.
Eldest
I've reached my destination.
Stavi
And you get up and meet the Palm dude. Stay up there. Yeah. You have to have breakfast. Arrival breakfast.
Elvis
It's got a reservation.
Stavi
I think the move is wait. Wait until people start leaving. I sit. I don't even think about my bag. And I'll even go further. I'll let a couple aisles behind me go.
Eldest
That's crazy.
Stavi
Why not? What did you just say that you. That you are worried about People be like, hey, fat. Because there's gonna be.
Eldest
There's usually me.
Elvis
I like how you whispered, hey, fat ass.
Stavi
The thing is, there will be a bottleneck behind you at some point. Right.
Eldest
Which. Oh, I gotta say. Oh.
Elvis
Then you make your move.
Eldest
So then you make your move.
Elvis
Cooper.
Eldest
What the. That's pretty good slip.
Stavi
Right?
Elvis
I'll take the fake mustache.
Eldest
One of my favorite things is because, like, I'll get. So we're always right next to each other. That's how we fly. And so I'll go for. I'll get off the plane. Right very. Let me.
Stavi
By the way, you're doing a community service doing that.
Eldest
Kevin, listen, it's always.
Elvis
We're up front. There's no. There's no leakage over.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah.
Elvis
Sometimes I'll drink his bottle of water or something like that.
Eldest
No, he gets.
Stavi
I'm pissed when me and elders are next to each other.
Elvis
Really?
Stavi
When it works out that way, I'm like, come on.
Eldest
No, I do like it. But he also does the thing where it's like after 10 days on the road, we land and he's like, you want to talk? Like, I'm like, I don't want to talk anymore. Like, we talk for a living. Like something good.
Elvis
I like joking around. Especially on the way home. You get a couple of bloody Marys a little bit.
Eldest
What happens is he's drunk and I'm.
Stavi
Like, keep the party going.
Elvis
I watch his movie a lot, which bothers him.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
And he goes, yeah, it's a movie. Yeah.
Elvis
Yeah. If a sex scene comes on.
Stavi
So you'll watch this movie, but not with the audio.
Elvis
No. Yeah. I don't know why.
Stavi
See, that's fun. It's fun.
Eldest
Me.
Elvis
We.
Stavi
I mean, we've talked about it before, but when we watch the whale on a flight next to each other every flight, one of the.
Eldest
I watch him eat my cookie.
Elvis
I get up and float down the aisle. You also don't know if he died at the end of that.
Stavi
Oh, man.
Elvis
He could have turned it around right there.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
Maybe he took that step out the front door and just started floating.
Stavi
Yeah, that He. He floated to Planet Fitness. That's how Foley chooses to read the ending. One of the clearest. One of the clearest, most ham fisted endings in the history of film.
Elvis
That's gotti turning around there.
Stavi
Yeah, there's some. There's some room for interpretation here.
Elvis
I like Brendan Fraser in that, but could have got a fat guy.
Stavi
I agree. I agree. I agree. I don't know about that. Fat.
Elvis
Sure.
Stavi
Wow. That's a tough.
Elvis
If you work on the role.
Eldest
Yeah.
Elvis
Six months.
Eldest
Yeah. But I will say we. I'll get off the plane first and I'll like, he'll be directly behind, like, you know, and man, he does bottleneck it because, like, I'll look back through like the sky bridge or whatever it's called, and there's nobody in sight. Like no one's got the plane in two and a half minutes.
Elvis
Skybridge.
Eldest
And then people's people from like, you know, 9G start passing them on in the Runway and stuff.
Elvis
That skybridge, man, my. I. I feel like I'm in the Matrix. Like I haven't used my body before. Like the altitude change. There's. It's always an incline.
Eldest
Like he's in a non pressurized cabin or something. The altitude change. Memphis Bell, you're the only one of.
Elvis
Well, and plus, too, the. The temperature change, whether it's real cold or real hot when you get off.
Stavi
Sure.
Elvis
And I'm dragging my. I don't have my stuff. That is brutal. Going up that thing.
Stavi
And that's why I'm saying little leisure. Let him pass.
Eldest
You don't get the bottlenecks a good move.
Elvis
That's the fattest move ever.
Stavi
No, it's. Well, the fattest move ever is holding everybody up. Yeah. You go to get your CPAP mask and your pants fall down and it was like, oh, sorry, guys.
Elvis
And then you got my cookie.
Stavi
And then. Yeah. Are you guys gonna throw that cookie away for.
Eldest
For a To go cookie?
Elvis
When they come around with. Be honest. When they come around with the little snack tray, you got the gummy. You got those vegan gummy bears.
Stavi
Vegan gummies.
Elvis
Right. You're getting that. But in a pinch, you know what I mean? What are you gonna do?
Eldest
It's not a pinch. It's a flight to Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah. It's 48 minutes in the air. You're not in a pinch. And you slept half of it. So we're talking about 24 minutes.
Stavi
What am I getting? Is that.
Elvis
I'll just cut that, please.
Stavi
What am I getting out of the little basket?
Elvis
Yeah. You're not just getting one thing.
Stavi
Well, okay, again, it. That's another sign that your life's going well. You. You can say, no, thank you.
Elvis
Sure. Which we do sometimes.
Stavi
But if I'm really going crazy, I like those little chocolate shortbread. Those are the absolute best. Yes. They have some kind of European branding.
Elvis
With the chocolates in the center.
Stavi
Yep, yep. And then, you know, whatever they Whatever they got, cookie wise, you know, whether. Biscoff. Now, we've gotten to a point where snack technology has been so advanced that the Biscoff is now the. The lowest offering.
Eldest
Sure.
Stavi
But I will still make do with one if I have to.
Elvis
Yeah, yeah.
Stavi
And. Yeah, I'll get the. And I will get. I'll usually get something chocolatey, something gummy, and then I'll get. You know, if they have a chip, I'll get a chip.
Elvis
Sure.
Stavi
But if I'm trying to tell myself I'm being healthy, I'll get the pistachios.
Eldest
Them. Yeah, I've got it. I've got.
Elvis
Which.
Stavi
That's too completely. Crush those completely.
Eldest
I don't like the mix. You know, it just makes me feel so. It makes me feel like a rat because, like, it doesn't scratch any of the itches. Like, the bags are too small. I need to have five bags of chips. Yeah. I need to have three things of that. And it's just like sometimes they got. And then it crashes just all around me, and I'm like. Little pockets and stuff. And I'm like, I'd rather just. So what I've been doing is buying a bag of gummy bears in the airport, and that's my snack.
Elvis
And he waits till I fall asleep, and then I wake up and I see the empty bag of gummy bears, and I know there's been treachery afoot. Goddamn conspiracy.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah. No, I see. But see also, I've been doing power.
Eldest
But now that we're. Now that we're a little bit healthier, I've been doing, like, the. The meal. The protein bars. If I feel like when I'm eating on a plane, I'm at my worst.
Stavi
Absolutely.
Eldest
Like, my. My life is going severely shitty. I'm very unhappy when I'm having the breakfast at the Palm, then the breakfast on the plane, then the snacks, which.
Elvis
We really don't do anymore.
Eldest
We're.
Elvis
You know, we're both. He's down a bunch of.
Eldest
Down £40.
Elvis
Yeah.
Eldest
Shout out, zepbound.
Stavi
Shout out, zipbound. Yes.
Eldest
I've lost all my muscle mass and bone density, but I am looking good.
Elvis
Most of that spleen.
Eldest
You don't need that. Anyway.
Elvis
What did they. Just Going back a little bit. What did they. What did they throw at you at the Venice, this film festival? Was there a luncheon or anything like that?
Stavi
You know, it. It breaks my heart to say nothing. That the food was just okay, really. And I think the problem is you.
Elvis
Don'T eat While you're watching the movies, right? No, it's not like the Golden Globes.
Eldest
Those chairs recline so you can sleep in them.
Stavi
First of all, what are you talking about? The golden. The Golden Globes are award ceremony.
Elvis
I know, but they. They're eating.
Stavi
Yeah, at an award ceremony, not at a movie.
Caller 2
All right?
Stavi
It's not an Arlington Drafthouse.
Elvis
It's not.
Eldest
It's not the AMC Max or whatever.
Stavi
I put my order little paper on a little note.
Elvis
Cardius, your pretzel nuggets already s. Right here.
Stavi
Your buffalo egg rolls, sir. I'm in a tuxedo eating buffalo egg rolls.
Eldest
I think that guy got my pretzel nuggets. You're all freaking. I hate that.
Elvis
Get Mark Ruffalo on board.
Eldest
Come on, man.
Elvis
Don't be a share with me.
Stavi
No, there's a little dinner and then there's some more ds. But I will say that is the. The thing poor people do better than rich people is actually having good. A good. Yes. Like after the premiere, they. There's just all these little. Little finger foods. And it's like literally, if they. If they had in the corner of the room. This is a nice hotel still. If they had 20 boxes of pizza, everyone would have been.
Eldest
Yeah, you are.
Stavi
Everyone would have been happier.
Eldest
I'm not sure he could have just said pizzas, but boxes of pizzas. Like there's gonna be a stat. Gotta start flipping through to find this serious. To find this sa.
Elvis
I hate that.
Eldest
It's always at the bottom.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
I'm saying they should have had I. To a person there is not except like somebody who's pretending, but like literally the star. Like the people that like the most important people of the movie left because they were like, this kind of sucks. They literally like, I want pizza. We're in Italy.
Ryan D
Sure.
Stavi
You know what I mean?
Eldest
Like, I agree.
Stavi
Don't get these little highfalutin. And look, if you have. If you want. If you have to, you take the boxes, take them in the kitchen, have a busboy put them on your plate.
Elvis
That's fine or whatever.
Eldest
I get that. I. Listen, I'm on board. I. I take a. A staunch stand that I think all catered food low key stinks. It's just okay. You go to a wedding, the food is okay at. No one can cook for 300 people. Yeah, right. It just. It's like all just fine.
Stavi
Right. Right. You kind of something with a fixed limited menu at a. At a very fixed location in like catering or like, I don't know. An airport. No matter what, the food is going to be worse than usual.
Eldest
Keep bringing up old.
Elvis
We'll take you to the Palm.
Stavi
That's a good. That's a good way of thinking, Kevin.
Eldest
Cheapest ticket we can get today. I will pay for it.
Elvis
That's what we should do.
Eldest
Get. Get three, four spirit airline tickets.
Stavi
Okay?
Eldest
We're not going on the flight. We're going straight to the star.
Stavi
You garbage from the Live from the Delta Lounge.
Eldest
We don't even do it. I don't like the lamb. You can't get what you want. You want. You just get that food they give you. I like. Listen, if it's. If it's after we're eating, doesn't matter what meal it is we're eating. I like to get a burger or something. You can't get a burger in the lounge. You just get the.
Elvis
I thought going into that, the first time we did that, I thought, oh, this is where we. This is nice. Then I see businessmen stuffing their. Their tech vests with clementines and.
Stavi
Yeah, what the.
Eldest
Out of here.
Stavi

Stavi
Tell me.
Eldest
Almost ruined the show.
Stavi
We have.
Elvis
I'll just cut that. We.
Stavi
We.
Elvis
We have a bunch of power bars and like that at the studio.
Stavi
Power bars was 1992.
Eldest
Hey, that's my boy. Arnold.
Stavi
Craig meal.
Elvis
Man.
Eldest
Shout out to Slim Fast. Oh, yeah.
Elvis
Don't act like you didn't chug a slim.
Stavi
I did, but when I was a child, I was having power bars and Slim Fest.
Elvis
Power bars in a Gatorade.
Stavi
The chewy, weird consistency. I'm sure if we read the label now, we'd be like, this is worse than a candy.
Elvis
They had such a good chew on them. It was awesome.
Stavi
They did have a great chew.
Elvis
A little hay feel inside. But I grabbed a couple of protein bars. Protein bars. Thank you. Yeah, I think they were Quest bars. And put them in my bag. I got to the hotel because I'm. I've been laying up the booze. We did the show. Those guys went out and drank and all that kind of stuff.
Eldest
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stavi
Not you, though. You're a citizen.
Elvis
Yeah, Went right back to it. Went right back to that.
Stavi
You're reading your. The Bible they provide for you in the hotel.
Elvis
Sitting there like Denzel, a man on fire, got a bullet in your hand. You're talking about a bad person, Prima.
Stavi
Just looking at. Looking at the Google page for whatever airport restaurant you're going to fly out of.
Elvis
Listening a little Linda Ronstadt. I'm going back someday. That was too much deep cut. I grabbed a couple power bars and I.
Stavi
And I.
Elvis
And I had one before I went to sleep that took the edge right off that in a bottle of water.
Stavi
Woke up ready for breakfast. Is that has about three weeks of efficiency, like life experience.
Eldest
There's blood in the water. You gotta.
Ryan D
Yeah.
Eldest
So in the morning, this is what we did, which we've never really done before. We stayed. We were in Boston at the Wilbur, and we stayed at. We booked hotels like two days before.
Stavi
So.
Eldest
And at this point, we were just booking the cheapest ones. So we stayed at like a real. Just bare bones, basic hotel around the corner. But then for breakfast, we walked to the W at another hotel. Breakfast. And then. You couldn't tell us, dude.
Stavi
I mean, it was crazy.
Eldest
He texted the group. He's like, anybody up for break? Because we were driving, so I didn't. We didn't get our airport, Brad. We were driving, so I'm like. He's like, anybody up for brekkie. And I looked and I was like, dude, there's a W around the corner. And he's like, you're gonna throw out a real nice breakfast.
Elvis
They do it nice. The comfy chairs, a higher class of people.
Stavi
Buffet.
Eldest
No, no. O. So but then we're. But it was embarrassing because I walk up, I'm like, hey, three for breakfast. He goes, and what room are you staying in? And I was like, we're just walking by.
Elvis
14 local.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah.
Elvis
They give you a little attitude. But they sat us.
Stavi
Was it at least a separate restaurant? Did it at least have its own like page or something? Like no. On Google. Did it come up as a restaurant?
Elvis
No, it was the W is the lobby. The W Hotel.
Eldest
Nice joint.
Elvis
Nice joint, right?
Stavi
Damn. Because at least sometimes I've definitely. Like when we were in Omaha, we went to a steakhouse. It was connected to a Marriott or something like.
Eldest
That'll happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this was more of like. This was the W's restaurant. Like this was. There was no dwarf.
Stavi
Interesting. Sometimes that's not.
Elvis
That's not bad though. What hotel?
Eldest
I love them.
Elvis
What hotel is the Bananas in in Jersey?
Eldest
Hasbrouck Heights or. No.
Elvis
Wow, you're a dude.
Stavi
I never did. I always missed.
Elvis
I tell you what, I don't know what that bar is. They throw in a Caesar salad. That's pretty goddamn good.
Stavi
There's no way.
Elvis
Yeah, I'm telling you.
Stavi
Hasbrook Heights.
Elvis
I'm telling you.
Eldest
See, the good thing about this is.
Stavi
What? It's like a Hyatt or some something.
Elvis
I opened up for neighbor years ago.
Eldest
That bar is like a neighborhood. Like people from the neighborhood. It's like. That's what it is. It's a restaurant.
Stavi
Gotcha.
Ryan D
Courtyard by Marriott.
Stavi
Courtyard.
Ryan D
Courtyard.
Elvis
I'm like.
Stavi
I like Courtyard.
Elvis
Of course.
Stavi
I'm a Courtyard guy.
Eldest
Yeah, we're. When it comes to hotels, we're real bare bone. It's just like whatever kind of lower to medium end is. We're.
Stavi
Yeah, you're you Hotels. Bare bones. Airport breakfast. I want the most expensive airport restaurant. And I will stay at a night's in. No, you guys will double up. Hotel rooms.
Elvis
Bites, please.
Eldest
Yeah, no, it's just we're. We're Cuz we do one. Like we're like back to back to back. We're rarely ever posted up for the weekend.
Stavi
No, I get you.
Eldest
I get you. So it's like, what are we. You get in at 3, you check in, we go to sound check. Then we're at the Venue. Wake up up. We're on the road by 10 so it's like we're really just sleeping there.
Stavi
No, I'm with you. Me and Elders are about to go on a. And in fact depending on when people hear this, it might be going on a run through the south where it's like we're in a minivan.
Elvis
Love it.
Stavi
And we're just crashing in a hotel and then driving the next morning.
Elvis
Now who's doing the run?
Eldest
I love how your version of Slummin is our version of doing the run. Guys, get this. We're in a minivan. Shout out to. To the town for the Pacifica.
Stavi
We'll see who does the driving.
Elvis
Could it be. Will you flip flop?
Stavi
We'll probably flip flop.
Ryan D
It could be me.
Stavi
Uhhuh. Could be Elders. Elders is the transporter.
Elvis
How's he behind the wheel?
Stavi
He's horrific behind.
Eldest
Really?
Stavi
No.
Eldest
Yes he is.
Stavi
Honestly, if JP's not going to be with us the whole time, JP's the best driver we.
Eldest
Oh is he?
Stavi
He's the man.
Elvis
I like that. He like I'm slender, good looking.
Stavi
We've had and we've had my friend, our pal George. Straight George. He was just along for the ride. He was like I'll come. It'll be fun. We'll be on the road. And he just was like we like stopped for gas and he just was like. He just was like eldest, give me the keys.
Eldest
No.
Stavi
And he just took over driving a.
Ryan D
Talk from the passengers from the back row. Look.
Elvis
What's his biggest infraction, would you say? Has he almost killed you?
Stavi
General awareness, I would say is probably.
Eldest
Kind of number one when you're driving, when you got four souls on board.
Stavi
Missing eggs.
Ryan D
Once in a while I will miss an exit here and there.
Stavi
Being cross eyed, undiagnosed lazy eye.
Elvis
Pretty bad, I will admit that.
Ryan D
But I think if I have like, you know, if I got the carplay going.
Stavi
Right. Checking his phone. That's another one.
Elvis
Oh really?
Stavi
He loves to see what's going on on Twitter.
Ryan D
No, I'll flip. I'll flip through a song on Spotify or something. You know, you got to get the music right in the.
Stavi
Got to get the vibes.
Elvis
You want to have the soundtrack for your death ready to go. Playing the ballad of the Edmund Fitzgerald Barrel through a toll boots.
Eldest
Oh yeah, I'll do. I do most if we. We have a guy on staff, Ryan D. Shout out to who's. He's dops Director of operations.
Stavi
He gave him.
Eldest
He gave himself that Title. Love that whole drive the van. If we're in the van or the. I drove for, you know, the first handful of years. Which. I like driving though.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
I'm like locked in. I enjoy it.
Stavi
Well, we're doing small run, like on purpose. We were like playing smaller places, but they were closer. Cuz like when you. If you make a four hour drive in a day, it's over. Your day is just getting there.
Eldest
It's tough showering. That's what I mean.
Stavi
Sleeping again.
Eldest
That's most of our tours.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
We capped it. I had a stop drop. We'll get. We would get a sprinter. Anything over four, I'm like. Because then you just get to the venue and I'm like, I just see like totally like dotted lines flying by.
Elvis
I'm like.
Eldest
And I'm barely. I'm like limping through the show. So anything over four, we'll get now, you know, either Ryan will drive or we'll. We'll get a sprinter van or something if we need. Love it.
Ryan D
It won't.
Elvis
They won't let me drive. I offer all the time.
Eldest
I'm not. This sounds like a joke. He stops at green lights and he. And he defends.
Elvis
I stop at green lights. In the city.
Stavi
In the city.
Elvis
Late at night. When we're driving home.
Eldest
No, during the day. He. Dude, he pun. And then I'm like, the people. He's like, well, what if someone comes across?
Elvis
Get killed.
Eldest
Yeah, but the guy behind you is not expecting you to hit the brakes at a green light. It's more dangerous than.
Stavi
That's fundamentally. Like the fact that you won't even say, oh, I. It happened once or twice. That's still your policy, is it?
Elvis
Yeah.
Eldest
Crazy. It's actually fucking insane.
Elvis
If I drove the car into the city and then I'm driving home and I'm going up First Avenue or third Avenue.
Stavi
Right.
Elvis
The people coming the other way, they're drunk. It's the weekend.
Ryan D
So are you.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And you know what kind of behavior they might do stopping green lights. If you're fucking high or drunk, you might do the opposite of what you're supposed do to. Supposed to do.
Eldest
So like. But like this. So you're betting.
Elvis
I see your point.
Eldest
He thinks someone's gonna blow the red light.
Stavi
Right.
Eldest
And come across, which is like. Point is that I'm not saying that can't happen, but that's like.00001% of how many cars pass through an intersection. Just fly through and t bone somebody. In New York, a Day. It's like it barely happens.
Stavi
And it's also like the kind of thing that you could go slower through the green lights.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
But to stop is insane pain.
Elvis
I stopped right in the middle. Don't you move.
Stavi
You're not worried about getting rear ended, huh?
Elvis
Nah.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
Which is, that is like a real.
Elvis
That'S all the way back there.
Stavi
Yeah, right.
Elvis
I felt bad for that fat guy that got rear ended while I was eating that sandwich. You've seen that clip.
Stavi
Oh, it's tough.
Elvis
He's about to bite into a Jimmy.
Stavi
John's and did it go into his throat? Did he throw it?
Elvis
It went all over the place.
Stavi
What a shame. What a shame. I feel bad for the guy. Yeah, yeah. No, I, I, I don't. I mean the bus was awesome. Obviously.
Eldest
The bus is great.
Stavi
But there is something about the, the road trip vibe.
Eldest
It's fun. It's like, it's very like, you know, it's like, well, how you. We, we used to have to do comedy where you're like, oh, we're getting in just anybody who has like the opener's car and we're driving for five hours to go bomb somewhere and collect a check for $55.
Elvis
Say, say all this is driving and sure. Would you be shotgun if it would say it was just.
Eldest
Yeah. Where do you fall?
Stavi
Yeah, I'd probably shotgun now.
Elvis
Can you fall asleep? Can you snooze out?
Stavi
Not really.
Elvis
You stay up with them about me.
Ryan D
Snoozing out or what?
Elvis
Either way. How do you, what do you guys do that?
Ryan D
It doesn't really happen. I think like, you know, the etiquette.
Stavi
Is you kind of. If it's just a two man. Yeah, you gotta sort of.
Ryan D
You're in it even if there's another guy. Like, especially if it's like a two, three hour drive. Like, like I don't know. Plus we're always like, we're, we're rolling like behind the scenes too. You feel like you gotta do a little performing no matter what in the car.
Eldest
But just it's fun to show business.
Stavi
Of course. He's just waiting to make his move. He's waiting until he's the star. El thinks this, Elis thinks this is. He's gonna remake A Star is Born. But instead of, instead of like a two people dating. It's like a guy finest podcast producer.
Eldest
Because these guys will sleep. I've been driving in the car for like five hours. We're like through like from like Houston to like Oklahoma City. And they're all Sleeping.
Stavi
That's crazy. That's horrific.
Elvis
Van is so comfortable.
Eldest
Van is so nice and so comfortable.
Stavi
We need a van, dude.
Eldest
Heated seats.
Elvis
I gotta drop back.
Eldest
It's like, dude, if you do the math, we put a down payment on it, and then it's like the. The. The monthly payment is less than what we were spending in Ubers and, you know, car rental and Sprinters. A month.
Elvis
Much less than what we spend a month at the Palm.
Eldest
Yeah.
Elvis
Yeah.
Eldest
Significantly less than the Palm. The Palm.
Stavi
And it really is. And to tell the. The viewer at home who's unfamiliar, you have a tricked out, basically cargo van.
Eldest
Yeah, it's a Chevy conversion or GMC Explorer van. And it's like top of the line. Best you can get. Bought it at Fred Beans. Shout out. Fred Beans, Beans, Red beans. It's just a place. We bought it. We got no deal, no nothing. But the roof was leaking and then. And they made it right. So we. We had a war with red beans for a couple of weeks, and then they made it right. So now we're back on. We're back in the good graces. Shout out Beansies. Yeah, but.
Stavi
And we're talking the full. You know, you have force reclining seats back there.
Eldest
So It's. So it's 2 cap. It's 2 captain chairs in the front, 2 cap cooler in the middle. How you don't feel?
Elvis
Whatever you got, like, I'm cool.
Eldest
Cold captain's chairs.
Stavi
You like them cold? Try it. You want to chew on them?
Elvis
Yeah, throw. Throw a pack of gummy bears in the freezer next time.
Stavi
I like them. I like them softer, personally.
Elvis
Really?
Stavi
Yeah. All right.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
The gelatin, it just. It just feels like it's too hard.
Eldest
Yeah, it's like it loses the.
Stavi
Your first 10 bites are just getting them room temperature.
Elvis
I like that.
Stavi
You like.
Elvis
You're getting more out of them.
Stavi
Interesting.
Elvis
What about a Snickers?
Stavi
More chew out of them.
Elvis
More chew. I like.
Stavi
You're not broke anymore.
Elvis
I like a chew, though.
Eldest
I would push back on that.
Stavi
That's why I get. Come see these guys in Philly. They got to sell. When is it the Met?
Eldest
December 13th at the Met is the biggest show we ever did. The boys are coming home.
Stavi
The Met's beautiful. You guys are going to love that.
Eldest
Yeah, we're real stoked. It's. It's. You know when every time you go back to, like, your hometown, it's like the energy is just crazy. It's so. They're so good.
Elvis
Yeah, we're excited. December 13th at the Met.
Stavi
That's going to be awesome. Yeah. But I. Okay, so we got the cooler and then two captain's chairs.
Eldest
So two captain's chairs. And then we did the bench. We were going to spring for that third, like the third row of captain's chairs, but. But then we run into issues with parking it.
Stavi
Oh, really?
Eldest
Yeah, because we already have to like. So like dops the guy, the driver, Ryan D. Will call ahead because it's too high and too long to park in a lot of like hotel garages and stuff like that. Especially in New York, too. We can't. We park it in Jersey. We park it out by Newark.
Stavi
Do you ever just ride it around for fun?
Eldest
Not really. No. No. It's tough to get to. I don't even know. I don't even think they would give it to me if I went to get it. Ryan goes and gets it all.
Elvis
It's a hump it to get.
Eldest
Get it.
Ryan D
So.
Eldest
But it goes. So I'm behind the drive. Ryan's driving. Two is usually sitting shotgun.
Elvis
It's been me lately. But I didn't like it when we first. I'm down a couple of pounds when we first got it. I didn't really fit in the front seat. The seat belt was choking the out of me.
Stavi
The back seats are more comfortable.
Elvis
Yes.
Eldest
This is what he would do, though. So if it was just say it was just four of us, you know, two. Two guys are. The two guys that work with us are in the front. And then me and him would be in the captain's chairs. He would go sit in the back. The bench seat by himself. But then he's leaving me sitting there by myself and he's, you know, he's in a gummy bear coma and I'm just sitting there with my dick in my hand.
Elvis
Yeah. Did we. We took that to a Phillies game where I was all up, or was that a sprinter?
Eldest
That was a sprinter.
Elvis
That was a sprinter.
Stavi
It doesn't remember the. I just remember the car.
Eldest
What van was I sleeping in that time?
Elvis
Well, those sprinters, they can be real cold. Like, if it's like a. Like for like an. On those. On set. Sprinters.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
Those things are brutal.
Stavi
You don't like that?
Elvis
No, I feel like I'm sitting in Fenway Park.
Stavi
I like it cold. I like. I like to be chilled out.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
No, I would think you run hot.
Elvis
No, no. I mean, they're cold. As far as. Like this. It's very rigid. It's not. Not comfortable when it's a Party one. It's great. Yeah, yeah.
Stavi
Not temperature.
Eldest
We ended up doing it because some of the drivers. I don't know if you guys. I don't know how often you get the. The sprinters for, like, longer things, but, dude, those drivers are like. Like, they're unregulated. They're not like those guys. That's like their third job that day.
Stavi
Oh, interesting.
Eldest
So, dude, like, we were getting guys where I'm like, We'd be like, dude, you have to slow down. This is crazy back here. He's like, oh, no, it's okay.
Stavi
We gotta make time. They dock my pave. I don't make time.
Eldest
Yeah. I'm like, slow down, man. And then Sam Morel had a guy fall asleep twice and go off the road. And they were like, dude, pull over. Like, we're done.
Elvis
We had a guy stop for gas on sometime.
Stavi
Yeah, I love that, dude.
Eldest
Right? Picked us up and then stopped for gas. I'm like, what the. Yeah, that's beautiful. But yeah, so it was mostly like a safety choice at some point.
Stavi
I like that too, though, because spiritually, that is a very, you know, conversion. Van is another white trash thing, of course.
Eldest
I think it's like, you know, sleeping and so proud of it. Yeah, that's like, I know I'm a dirt bag because I'm like, I. Dude, I. I drove it the other day.
Elvis
It's got tv and it's dobby.
Eldest
Huge tv.
Stavi
Love that.
Eldest
Send pictures of my brother.
Caller 1
Brother.
Stavi
I'm like, no, I know. And me, I'm this, like, one time, my cousin, this was giver. You ever. You know when you're a kid and you realize, like, your family, there's other. Your family has other people in their lives and it blows your mind.
Eldest
Like, what?
Stavi
Like, my cousin had cousins from her other side.
Eldest
Oh, you're like, who the are these?
Stavi
I'm not related to at all. Right? And her. Cut. Her. Her cousins, I guess they're a big road tripping family. And they had one of these vans and they came through and I didn't know them at all, but they had this sick van and they're popping Peter Pan on there and they're snacks.
Eldest
How sick is that?
Stavi
And I just remember telling my mom, like, I love them. I was like, I love. I don't even remember their names.
Eldest
Our family stinks.
Stavi
No, I literally was like, can we. What, are they coming? And my mom was, like, pissed off. She's like, you're never gonna see these people. Yeah. I was like, but they're my Favorite. But they have to be my aunt and uncle, too.
Eldest
They have an apartment car.
Stavi
It's awesome. Mean, to this day, I remember that.
Eldest
Yeah, man.
Stavi
It's one of my most cherished child memories. Just the fact that my cousin's cousins had a van with a little TV you could watch Peter Pan inside of. Yeah, that's all it takes.
Elvis
The first conversion van I was ever in was one of my dad's buddies.
Stavi
And he was living. And he was divorced and living in it. He.
Elvis
He. There was nothing in the back, and the grandfather just sat in a lawn chair in the back. I thought that was unbelievable.
Stavi
Unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Elvis
We got seats that are bolted in.
Stavi
I had dreamed of that. That I wanted my first car to be a minivan with nothing in the back.
Eldest
Dude, my step grandfather did that, and it was the coolest thing in the world. He turned into a pickup truck.
Stavi
Phrase step grandfather.
Elvis
Step grandfather slash uncle.
Eldest
Yeah. And crazy thing about I have an ex stepmom, which is wild.
Elvis
I always wanted the A team van. That was. That was my thing.
Stavi
Sure, sure.
Elvis
Yeah, with the. With the aks.
Stavi
Another classic Foley reference. Yeah, I always wanted the. I always wanted the van from Hogan's Heroes.
Elvis
They didn't have a van. It was the 40s. But they did have tunnels under Stalag 17 style. Like 13.
Stavi
You know what I've always said, Elvis? If you're still overpaying for wireless, it's time to say yes to saying no. I've always said that. At Mint Mobile, their favorite word is no. No contracts, no monthly bills, no overages, no hidden fees, no BS Bull s. To be more specific, here's why I said yes to making the switch and getting Premium Wireless for 15 bucks a month. That's right, the Stavi. The Stavi Baby Enterprises official business line is with Mint Mobile ditch overpriced wireless and their jaw dropping monthly bill, unexpected overages and hidden fees. Plans start at just 15 bucks a month. Over at Mint, use your phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with all existing contacts. Easy as pie. So quick to make the switch. As we've said before. Wasn't it eldest?
Ryan D
Yes, it was. I did it. I legitimately did it. So easy on like my phone.
Stavi
And Elvis can barely produce this podcast. He doesn't even edit him, folks. Do you understand that? He sits there, press a couple buttons. Buttons. Somebody else edits them. He can do. He could do it. You can.
Ryan D
Well, I manage the editing.
Stavi
Yeah, sure. No, it's really hard.
Elvis
Anyway.
Stavi
Are you ready to say yes to saying no. Make the switch@mintmobile.comstavi that's minmobile.comstavi Upfront payment of $45 required, equivalent to $15 a month. Limited timing. New customer offer for first three months only. Speeds may slow above 35 gigabytes on unlimited plan taxes and fees. Extra C. Mint Mobile for details. Fuck Elvis. Don't you think it's about time we. We took these two? Scholars and gentlemen.
Ryan D
Oh, yeah.
Stavi
Picked their brains and helped our viewers.
Eldest
Yeah.
Elvis
So we're here for. For you guys.
Caller 1
Hey, Stavi. Eldest, esteemed guest. Me and my wife been married about four years now. We ended up bringing someone into a relationship. And things have been kind of interesting, I guess. Yeah, it was fun. We enjoyed it. She's about two months since then. She's pregnant now. And so we're not really sure what to do. I say we. It's more me. She's denying that there's any chance it could be someone else's. But I'm also there. And I saw him fucking cream pie my wife. So I would have to assume there's a chance it's not my kid. Not really sure what to do. I really love this woman. Obviously don't want anything to happen that would be bad, but just ruin my day. Any advice you have would be fantastic.
Stavi
Oh, my God.
Caller 1
Yeah. No, she's the best. But who's the best? Greenfight by another guy. And that's also your wife for this. Kind of put a little damage on our marriage and relationship. So we'll see what happens.
Stavi
Wait.
Caller 2
Yeah.
Caller 1
She's not really up to the.
Eldest
You said he cream pied my wife.
Caller 1
The test to get tested. But as far as whose kid it is, because. Yeah, the guy's. But I'm thinking there's a chance. You always have the deep thought. Anyways, thank you. You're the best. Live on. Thanks, Eldon.
Caller 2
Bye.
Eldest
I think I have that right.
Elvis
So hold on. So when you freeze the gummy bears.
Eldest
Spread beans G. Okay, okay.
Stavi
I misheard it. I heard it as, like brought a lady in the lady. And he was like, I don't think it could be mine because I cream pie my wife.
Ryan D
He said, I'm also there. And I saw him cream.
Eldest
I saw him cream pie my wife. I mean, you're letting another guy cream pie.
Stavi
I want to be a prude, but we've reached my limit of, like, sexual. I mean.
Eldest
Yeah, I know, but then you. I think, dude, listen.
Stavi
I think it's hot. Somebody nuts in your wife. That's. I mean, this is. I mean that.
Eldest
You let the guy. Cream pie. I'm out of here.
Stavi
Yeah, I mean, listen, I think if.
Eldest
You'Re letting that happen, that's you. That you. You live that life where I don't.
Stavi
I mean, I see what you're saying.
Eldest
You gotta.
Stavi
I mean, even though it's not your technical seed, you were. You were.
Eldest
I mean you're at the poker table. You know what I mean?
Stavi
A group project. You decided your wife is a group project.
Eldest
Yes, listen, I did not. I just had a kid and I did not do that with my wife and another man. And I was thinking about getting a DNA test still. So buddy, you test away now.
Elvis
What does that. What. What's that look like? So they brought a guy into the relationship. I wonder if it was. If it's. What's the word for that? Poly.
Stavi
Poly. Sure.
Elvis
If they're like interrupt like if they're dating and doing stuff. If it's just sex, that's just the threesome. Right?
Stavi
Right. Yeah.
Elvis
That's just getting freaky on.
Stavi
But it seems like he was in the. This third is in the mix in a more.
Ryan D
Seems like it's kind of a. More formal in a more.
Stavi
Yes. Legislated in way. Yes.
Elvis
Okay.
Eldest
Yeah. I mean I think if you don't. I mean I. Listen, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Stavi
Why the wasn't she on birth control?
Eldest
It's also like. Yeah. Like the first couple times. Like let them come in her tits or something. What are we doing here? Let's foot into this a little bit.
Stavi
They probably did those said it's been a couple months.
Eldest
I'm sorry.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Ryan D
It is crazy that she's straight up. Like there's no way it could be anyone else's. What are you talkious to say?
Stavi
Yeah, that's true. That is actually a good cuz. What happened. What's happened could be date.
Eldest
She could know her cycle and be like. It's like. It's like not. Was not feasible those days.
Stavi
But I see what El saying.
Eldest
That's all I'm saying.
Stavi
Screams. This screams. It's actually a third guys.
Eldest
It screams as she goes. Stop flipping over rocks here. You're not going to like what you find.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah. This is.
Eldest
I mean you got to get a test, dude.
Elvis
It's inSU. Maybe the third guy. The third guy. The second guy and her might have had sex solo without him.
Eldest
I don't. No, he says he.
Stavi
I don't think so.
Ryan D
Listen, I mean it sounds like he Saw her, she saw this guy, cream pie. His wife.
Stavi
Cream pie.
Ryan D
That's all you need.
Eldest
That's nuts, dude.
Ryan D
That's the magic bullet.
Elvis
Can we stop talking about food, please?
Eldest
Yeah, also with his wife of. Yeah, it's crazy.
Stavi
It's like, listen, even if you're going to my wife, don't nut insider.
Eldest
There's got to be something reserved for you, you know what I mean?
Stavi
It's like, what, do you borrow my car? You don't get to redline it. You know what I mean? You don't get to take it to 140 miles an hour.
Eldest
It's my goddamn stereo. I paid for this conversion bin and I want to listen to my music.
Elvis
Who programmed Christian radio in here? Yeah, if I, I could quote the kids, I believe that's what they call a, A party foul, the kids.
Stavi
A party fouls slang from when we were in college. God damn, you're old as Foley.
Elvis
Am I right?
Eldest
If I can quote the great Golden Girls, I would say that's on fleek.
Elvis
Craig, Craig.
Eldest
Yeah. Dude, listen, this is what I, I, this is how I would handle it. That's going to be. It's your wife. This isn't like some girl that you think you're going to walk away from. This is going to forever hang over your head. So, like, have this shitty conversation now, right? So you can clear it up and move on with your life in whatever direction you choose. But you have to get an answer, otherwise you're. It's going to be. The next 30 years are going to suck.
Stavi
Yeah. You'll just either have this conversation once now or have it it in your head every day for the rest of your life.
Eldest
Exactly.
Stavi
You know what I mean?
Eldest
Have a shitty week or a shitty life.
Stavi
Yeah, I mean, I would need to know. I, I mean, every day you look.
Elvis
At your new Asian baby.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
And then there is the school of thought that's like, if you are this.
Eldest
Much of a cuck, maybe get off on that.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Elvis
You know.
Stavi
Oh, also, there's the other thing of like, even if it's not my seed, I was there while it happened.
Eldest
That's a big jump for me.
Stavi
And it's my wife, but it's my wife.
Eldest
I get it.
Stavi
And I could, I consented and even.
Eldest
Probably you bestowed that upon you. Yes.
Stavi
You know, there is an art. Like, I could see where she's coming from, where she's like, you want me to get cream pied by other guys? And now if it's his DNA, what you're Gonna divorce me. What did you think was gonna happen when guys were. When this guy from fucking Craigslist was letting batter off in my snatch?
Eldest
Sure.
Elvis
Who's his wife? Jazz Palminteri. The way you're saying that the. The matter with you. What'd you think was gonna happen?
Stavi
What'd you think. He nodded in my.
Eldest
That's crazy to me.
Elvis
That's quite the pickle you got going there.
Eldest
Now I you good luck with all that.
Stavi
It's hard for me to put myself in the heads of space of a man who lets his wife get cream. Like I'll even. I'll even entertain letting someone my wife cream ping is. And maybe this is where we said again, I'm a prude here. I admit this. This is my line.
Ryan D
I do wonder what was going on at the moment. He's like, yeah, two months we're all. And then he's like, oh, yeah, he's just her good right now, but there's no way he's going to cream pie inside.
Elvis
Yeah, exactly.
Ryan D
He's like, oh, he's getting closer. Do I tap? Do I tap my.
Elvis
I go out to the fridge to get a crystal light and I come back in here and your mo.
Stavi
Pie in my broad Foley's just. Yeah, this is just Foley's dream scenario. Yeah, he's got crystal light. Someone else is taking on the chore of physical exertion.
Eldest
I'mma sit this one out, big dog.
Elvis
I'm going to eat the shower. Don't cre or nothing like that.
Stavi
I'm going to catch the end of the Phillies game in this recliner.
Eldest
Yeah. I mean, I don't know, man. That's crazy to me. Yeah.
Stavi
But I'm with you, though. I do think.
Eldest
Think to have the tough conversation if you want.
Stavi
If you feel like it's going to make a material difference to you whether this is biologically your kid or not. And I, we, by the way, understand if that's the case, it would actually be strange or not or. Or not even. Yeah. Or even just like you'd be a very specific kind of guy for this not to bother you.
Eldest
It's a great way to put that.
Stavi
And, and by the way, the kind of guy who lets his wife get cream pied and the guy kind of guy who's okay with it. With this scenario, there's a. I think the middle of that Venn diagram is pretty sizable, you know, potentially. But you're clearly not one of those guys. If you want, if you feel like you need to have a DNA Test. Get a DNA test. If your wife refuses. That would.
Eldest
That would make me just wait till he's, you know, six months or whatever and you know, surreptitiously. Yeah. You got to do.
Stavi
Oh, we're going to Disneyland father trip.
Elvis
Do you keep him around though? Is that.
Stavi
Does that the guy who creepied your wife and might have he.
Eldest
That Listen, that guy don't want a kid. He's. He's dumping clips in your wife. He's like. But it's just cradle.
Elvis
That's what I'm saying. It might like you guys are true.
Stavi
Yeah. I guess the two reads on this are. His wife either is around. There's a. There's a possible extra guy he doesn't know about or she's. She understands the situation. Of the two guys that could have impregnated her, one is a guy who was just getting his rocks off a stranger's wife and one is her husband. So she's like, who's more liable to take care of my kid? She doesn't want to do this coin flip. She's committed to you. But she's also like, I don't want to give him the out of this being the other guy's kid. God. And I hate to look. I guess there's one lesson here would be like if you are in.
Eldest
You think there's only one lesson here.
Stavi
If you're in a polyamorous situation, don't let the guy splooge in your way.
Elvis
Wife.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
Blow it on her tits.
Eldest
Regardless of how many times he asked.
Stavi
Yeah. No matter how hot you find it, no matter how much. No matter how much it feel while you're. Well, you're sitting in that chair wearing stockings and they're rubbing up on your plug just right. And you're thinking, wow, you know, make this. Take this to the next level. This guy dumping goo in my wife. Just go ahead and skip that part.
Elvis
I never really got the cream pie thing. Thing.
Stavi
The enjoying it.
Eldest
Yeah.
Elvis
Never.
Stavi
Never.
Eldest
My thing is not the father.
Stavi
I think by that's biologically interesting because you would argue it's the one thing you're.
Eldest
It's not for me either. We're an anti cream pipe.
Stavi
You guys are coming out against cream pie.
Eldest
Coming out again.
Elvis
That doesn't mean just coming inside of her. That means you do it right there on the edge. So it's.
Stavi
It leaks out, right? No, no, no. Oh. Cream pipe inside. Oh.
Elvis
That's all it means.
Eldest
But then it comes out.
Ryan D
You have to see it maybe technically in like porn.
Stavi
Cream Pieing someone is just n. In.
Eldest
A. Oh, I don't gotta push.
Stavi
I. I'm sure about.
Eldest
I gotta push back on that. Let's call this guy back.
Stavi
No, no, he's not.
Eldest
He's falling cry. I thought there was. Okay.
Stavi
No, no, not the porn thing where they make you.
Eldest
That's my more theatrical.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Comes back out.
Eldest
Oh, then I love cream pies.
Stavi
Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Eldest
I'm CPing now fully.
Stavi
What about you knowing this new information? Are you. Are you still anti cream ping?
Elvis
Yeah, more of a ring Dings, man. Devil dog.
Eldest
That's when you do it in the butt. Devil dog. Coming her butt Coming her belly button.
Stavi
Better size matchup.
Elvis
Got to hit this broad with a crimp.
Eldest
It's a deep cut.
Elvis
Deep cut.
Stavi
I love a crimp.
Eldest
Regional cut.
Stavi
I'm a big crimping guy. I know. I know. I'm a big crimp guy.
Elvis
I love a crimping it.
Stavi
I do Baltimore to Boston. That's right. So good luck, man.
Eldest
Let's put a button in that.
Stavi
Yeah, good luck. Do whatever you need to do.
Elvis
Maybe hang in there, dog.
Ryan D
Call us with an update.
Stavi
I would love an update, actually. Yes. Call it. In fact, call into a live show. We would love to speak to you.
Eldest
Come to the show in Philly. We'll bring you up on stage. You can do it.
Elvis
All three.
Stavi
Is that. Is it. That is a quite an are you garbage situation.
Eldest
Yes, very much so. So.
Stavi
Well, let me have you weigh in on my are you garbage situation from this morning. What I had for lunch today. Boxed Mac and cheese.
Eldest
What name brand?
Stavi
It. It was a. Yeah, it was like one of those. Like.
Elvis
Was it Annie's?
Stavi
No, but it's like one of those, like, protein chickpea.
Eldest
Gotcha.
Stavi
Gotcha. So it's box. It's a little. It's a. It's a bit higher. End of boxed Mac and cheese. But then I also threw some lump crab meat in there to create canned Phillips.
Eldest
Just stirred it in, stirred it in for the pro.
Stavi
The easy protein. But I did ultimately have boxed Mac and cheese with lump crab.
Elvis
You had box chickpea Mac and cheese.
Stavi
That's right. Like a bonza pasta type of situation.
Eldest
Yeah. I gotta go classy on that. It's not trashy. I get why it would be. I think if it was like, name brand, it was cracked. Like the blue box.
Elvis
Yeah.
Eldest
It's got like, a generic blue box.
Stavi
Okay.
Eldest
And put in imitation crab meat. I'd have to push Back on that.
Stavi
This, this can of crab meat was expensive.
Eldest
And also you're doing it for the pro. You're doing macros. So there I gotta, I gotta defer. You get on a curve.
Elvis
Most crab cakes at high end steakhouses and stuff like that is canned crab meat.
Stavi
I would assume so. Yeah. Yeah.
Elvis
There's nothing wrong with that. And I'll tell you why. You're right there.
Stavi
Thank you. I'm on the cusp though, for sure.
Elvis
No, what do you say? On the cusp? I'd say why you're right there. Of not even have to worry about.
Stavi
Okay.
Elvis
Okay. Is you got the. You got the chickpea pasta, right? Okay. You got high end stuff. Probably getting whole food foods or something like that.
Stavi
It was purchased at whole Foods.
Elvis
There you go. You got the. You got the. You got the high end.
Eldest
But that's more about Rockefeller over here.
Elvis
All you're missing from putting that down on the table at a dinner party going, oh my God, it's a little chopped up scallion.
Stavi
Yeah, you're right. I ate it out of a plastic tupperware container, so.
Elvis
Out of a wegmans bag.
Eldest
Yeah, Yeah.
Stavi
I shook it up in a bag. Yeah, yeah. I cooked it by boil by putting it in hot, hot water and dunking it like it's prison sous vide, though.
Eldest
That's good. That's push back on that, dude.
Stavi
All right, all right.
Elvis
You're okay with that?
Eldest
I get it. Doesn't feel great.
Stavi
Doesn't feel great.
Eldest
But if considering all things. Thank you.
Stavi
I would say.
Elvis
Was it good?
Stavi
It was delicious.
Eldest
Do you have any left over?
Stavi
No, I.
Elvis
Did you add any personal cheese into it or anything?
Stavi
No, because I am watching my figure. So I just went with whatever was on the box. Box. I made it as instructed.
Elvis
So you weren't cutting up pieces of pepper Jack and throwing.
Eldest
Which I think if you were to put a. Put a layer of cheese on top, throw that in the oven for a couple minutes.
Elvis
Oh, come on.
Stavi
Oh, you put that in a ramekin.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
Put some cheese over it, broil it. It's the classiest meal.
Elvis
You're on a garden whatever.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, that was.
Ryan D
Yeah.
Stavi
Ena. I believe. Yeah, but that's right.
Elvis
Yeah. I'm a Jeffrey fan. That guy's been making bank for years.
Eldest
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Elvis
Her husband Jeffrey.
Stavi
Jeffrey. You know, garden's husband Jeffrey.
Eldest
I don't know who in a garden is. What?
Stavi
I love her. She's a culinary legend. Yes.
Elvis
What's Your spot out in Hamptons.
Stavi
What's your show? Eldest?
Elvis
Do you remember Barefoot Contessa?
Stavi
Barefoot Contessa?
Elvis
She wasn't.
Stavi
Fine.
Elvis
I saw her thing. She was in finance back in the day, I think in the 70s. And the reason it's called Barefoot Contessa is she bought a. Like a. Like a bakery or something like that that was called Barefoot Contessa.
Stavi
Ah, she inherited the name.
Elvis
Yeah. Back in the Hamptons when nobody was hanging out. Got there.
Stavi
Shout out to her. Shout out to her. 1. This is maybe the most well versed you've ever been on any subject in your life.
Elvis
There we go.
Eldest
You gave 15 seconds.
Elvis
Give me something else. You want to talk about Three Eye Atlas 3.
Stavi
No.
Elvis
Okay.
Eldest
He's trying to shove that in.
Stavi
Take the next call.
Ryan D
I think it's called Atlas Rug Fully.
Elvis
That's right. What he said.
Eldest
And with your help, we can catch that monkey.
Elvis
Fountain head. I also tell people I read that.
Stavi
That's. So why are you reading these libertarian books?
Elvis
Is that what they are?
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
I didn't know. I thought it was. I thought they were all space.
Stavi
You thought it was like sci fi fantasy.
Elvis
Yeah, I thought it was. They're in the future. That's a stranger to strange land. I tell people I read that. I always thought that was sci fi.
Stavi
I don't remember that one.
Elvis
It's about an alien. That might have been a hidden meaning.
Stavi
You know, this summer I've tried to get in tune with my body. You know, I've been experimenting. I've been dabbling. One of the greatest experiments that I've conducted has been with mud water. That's right. I've cut out other sources of caffeine. Mud water is an incredible little blend of cacao chai, turmeric and adaptogenic mushrooms to help you feel focused without the crash. And I drink it iced. I'm an iced. I'm an iced coffee boy. I'm an iced iced tea boy. I'm an iced mud water boy. That's right. You just mix it with cold water or milk. I'm a water guy, okay? I like to start my days. Little peek behind the curtain. I haven't been eating early in the morning. I've just been slurping sustenance for my delicious mud water. And I've been ready to go. Every single ingredient in mud water is there for a purpose, okay? It ain't. Now, look. I hear mushrooms on, like, nice. And though they aren't nice in the way you might think they are, they're nice in the way that they give you sustained mother freaking energy. Okay? Do you understand that? I'm feeling awake, I'm feeling ready to go. No crashes, no spikes from coffee. Like I said, we got cacao, we got chai for a hint of caffeine. Just a little bit, just little smooch. And a hot chocolate like flavor, which I like. I'm a little chocolate boy. And then we got lion's mane for focus. Nice. We got cordyceps to promote natural energy. Nice. And both Chaga and Reishi to support a healthy immune system. Nice. I have been healthier. Have been. Look, this isn't scientific. I'm just telling you as I've been drinking, I've been feeling better about it. I've cut out energy drinks, caffeinated sodas, coffees, all that kind of. I would usually. I usually get that for a little pep in my step. I've actually. I've replaced that with mud water ever since they came on as a sponsor and I've been loving it.

Caller 1
Hey, what's up, Stav? I'm gonna get straight to the points here. I think I've accidentally been getting tattooed from a Nazi. Yeah, crazy. I live in the south and I've been getting this sleeve done. Not Nazi related. And this person has been super cool so far and does a really great job. And then the last session just came out of nowhere with some like conspiracy theory stuff which I'm not into. And then I think I know know who.
Stavi
Yeah. Might have been targeting the polish.
Elvis
Not a big Thai food guy, huh?
Stavi
Keep going, Elvis.
Caller 1
Super crazy anti Jew stuff. And like people didn't die in the Holocaust. Muslims are taking over. And I'm sitting there like, what the do I do? You can't necessarily just get up.
Stavi
Right.
Caller 1
So yeah, I've got. I'm mostly done. But just have one more session and obviously I don't want to give this person more money.
Stavi
Sure.
Caller 1
But I'm really struggling with like now I have this tattoo on my arm and I've loved it so far, but now it's associated with this person and I don't like that at all. All.
Stavi
Well, hold on though.
Caller 1
I have like weird feelings about it and I'm just wondering if I should just get over it and go to another person and get it touched up and get it finished or. I mean, obviously I certainly don't want to go to this person again or just like, should I get it removed or. I don't know, man. This whole thing has been crazy and it's just throw me for a loop. So I think I could just use some advice in general on how to proceed with all this. So appreciate it, big fan and congrats on the success.
Eldest
Bye.
Stavi
Okay, so first of all, I understand the knee jerk reaction to be like the emotional reaction. I'm gonna look at this. A Nazi made this. But I'll say this like, have you ever had drywall done in your house?
Eldest
Have you ever been to McDonald's?
Stavi
Have you ever gotten roofing done?
Eldest
The only problem is, you know, this guy's an idiot. Like, he's shared those thoughts with you.
Stavi
I promise you, you've enjoyed the work. Work of anti Jewish conspiracy theorist many times. If you've, if you've had any infrastructure done in the. Have you been on the roads in the south? Yeah, I mean, like, that's the thing. Dude is like, it's. It sucks that he, he felt comfortable enough and it sucks that he has these opinions, obviously, but you just go fiddle.
Eldest
I mean like, I would just. You got one session left with the. It's not like you're funding like the American Nazi party or something. You're giving this guy this money who's like gonna, you know, it's not. I don't know.
Stavi
And if his work is good and you be. It'd be different if it was like you're at the consultation and he dropped and he hasn't started working on you and he does some weird shit. And look, if you feel like you don't want to go back, I get that too. But I would say you're not even in the wrong to just finish this piece with this person.
Ryan D
It just.
Stavi
This sucks because this shows you how bad the world is that now know. It's like this used to be like a crazy, like, can you believe this fucking nut job? And now it's like, oh, he's part of Trump's army. He's part of like now you're like, oh, am I? Am I Helping to fund the fascism that will be running this country in nine years.
Eldest
I also think too, it's like this guy's just probably ended up on some of the wrong fucking, you know, webs. Like he's reading the wrong shit. He's probably an idiot in every sense word. And he's just like, he's focused on this.
Stavi
No, no, I'm with you. But I'm saying like 20 years ago, it would be easy and almost funny to be like, can you take.
Eldest
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stavi
Now it's like it seems to be a sizable part of a number of Americans agree with him. You know, it's like. That's the scary part is like, you're like, fuck, I hope my tattoo artist and his friends don't take up arms against me and the local government here. But yeah, dude, he's pulling up the.
Elvis
Sleeves, he's coming in the house. You did my arm, remember?
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eldest
Also I will say, if you're Jewish, don't go back find you guy. I will say that that would be my only thing. Otherwise, let a. Let it roll.
Stavi
I say, even if you're Jewish, get a little silly Putty. Make it look like you're uncircumcised. Pretend your. Pretend your pants fell down and you had a wardrobe malfunction. But yeah, hey, look, as long as he's not sneaking in any.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
SS symbols in your full sleeve Dragon Ball Z tattoo. I like.
Eldest
Yeah, don't.
Stavi
Again, it's like, this sucks. Whatever. But you're totally. You don't. I mean, it's not your fault that this guy was harboring these opinions that.
Eldest
You had no idea and now you're.
Stavi
Going to get it removed. Dude, no, it's like, again, like I said, if you've had roofing done. My father was a contractor. I know who his associates were. If you've had any, like, unfortunate, especially in the south, if you've been to.
Eldest
Any of my family parties, like, you.
Stavi
Like, you just happen to know that this guy was a piece of shit. And it's like, look, just fucking get the tattoo done and move on. Don't ever go back. Don't get new tattoos there. But whatever your level of comfort, finish it either there or somewhere else. But you don't have to take it all. I mean, you, you shouldn't have to do. Because removing a tattoo is hard, brutal.
Eldest
And like thousands and years, you know, so finish up. Maybe check out some of the literature has too.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And it's like, let's have an open mind. I Mean, are things going well right now? Yeah.
Eldest
I mean, you're calling in to stop for. For advice, maybe. This guy's got the. You know, the website.
Stavi
Him. He's right. It's not that. You know, the richest people are hoarding more and more resources. It's. There's a secret cabal. I love this. Like, there's se. There's secret. It's like. It's not a secret. They just. Every. Rich people just steal from the poor. We've been watching it happen, like, in our. In our faces. They are taking everything from us. There's secret group. They're just like, yeah, we're just gonna pay to get the president we want elected. He's gonna give us tax cuts, and you don't even get healthcare.
Elvis
That.
Stavi
It's just happening in our. In front of our fucking eyes. But, you know, good luck, buddy. Don't remove that shit. Don't remove that shit, cuz you came across a Nazi in Alabama.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
You don't deserve. You don't. You shouldn't have to fucking go through that because some guy.
Elvis
I know. It's not like you got a gun in Martin's vineyard or something like that.
Eldest
You don't need to. I would. You don't need to connect the two at all to me. Those are two independent events and just move on. You shouldn't emotionally connect.
Elvis
Plus, if you're single and progressive chicks are your thing, you get to.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
You know what happened, though? This guy was. I.
Stavi
What. What's your. What do you think? If you're single and progressive, you think it's a conversation starter that you have a Nazis work on your arm?
Elvis
Exactly.
Stavi
I say don't bring that up.
Elvis
No, bring it up.
Eldest
This is from when I was undercover.
Stavi
Oh, fuck.
Elvis
The Italian Klansman.
Stavi
What?
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
What else we got?
Caller 2
LD hey, Stavi, Longtime listener. So I was watching one of your older episode episodes, and I remember you said that your parents split up, like, when you were in a.
Caller 1
Adult.
Caller 2
I now find myself in this position. I'm 27 and my parents are splitting up. They've been together since they were teenagers, so it's definitely kind of a big thing. I'm an only child, so I guess my question is, I'm wondering if there's anything, like, looking back that you wish you had done differently while you were kind of processing this. Do you have any advice just for, you know, how to deal with this as an adult? I know, like, every situation's totally different, but I'm wondering if there's something that you Wish you had done differently. Looking back on it. Thanks, Bobby. Love you.
Eldest
Bye.
Elvis
What do you think, bud? How old?
Eldest
I didn't know how old were your parents and they split up.
Stavi
I mean, dude, or were you. It was recent. It was like a few years ago.
Ryan D
Okay.
Stavi
See the thing I would say to you, even the premise of this question, like, do I wish I had done anything different? It's like, this isn't about you at all.
Eldest
My take is like zero. That's where you got everything you could from your parents to get you to this point. And it's like, great. Everybody's now individuals.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And I think like, is it your.
Elvis
Fault that they stayed together for you? Sure.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
I would have been a shittier kid to drive them apart earlier. You know, I don't. Yeah. I don't think. I think actually one of the only good parts is that you didn't. You're a fully formed adult and if you let, if you're letting this affect you, there's something wrong there. You're like falling into this. This trap of like, I don't know, nostalgia.
Elvis
They're gonna be happier.
Stavi
Yeah. This is better for everybody.
Eldest
Sure.
Stavi
Is it a little annoying to have to figure out out holidays, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, sure. But I don't know, just make time for both your parents where you can and like, you know, it's. Honestly, it shouldn't. It doesn't really matter. I would say just like, I don't know the specifics of your guys situation but like one thing that I did was I didn't really humor anyone. I didn't. I didn't pretend to take their side. I was just like, here's what I believe. Leave. I don't care what hap. Like, it was almost freeing because I could be like, great. Now I don't have to get involved with your guys relationship. We can focus on our. The only thing that matters is how we get along and how you treat me. Now I don't have to worry about your up.
Eldest
Yeah. This overall bigger picture. It's like, this is. I don't have to continue to try to solve this anymore and move on.
Stavi
I find it so much easier.
Elvis
Nice.
Stavi
I find it so much easier. I relate to them as individuals. I don't have to go into my up family and. Exactly. Like you said, like manage, try and avoid. You know, they're being.
Eldest
Oh, it's weird eggshells on this. How is it gonna.
Elvis
I mean, are they somewhat cool or.
Stavi
No, they're cool enough. Cool.
Elvis
So it's not like when you're hanging out with your mom, she's complaining about your dad or vice versa or anything like that. It's just you guys.
Stavi
Yeah. I mean, it's still a little weird. There's still the remnants of it, but it's like, you know, everyone is kind. It's been a few years. Everyone is sort of like, we know the score now. Everyone's fine.
Elvis
And like, positive.
Stavi
The thing, it's positive. The thing to remember is that your family will never be good. You know what I mean? Like, this is slightly better. It doesn't make it. It doesn't make it much. It doesn't solve everything. Because sure, shit's probably dysfunctional to begin with, but yeah, I would just say, understand, it's not about you. Don't get sucked into any more drama. Because they could. Because if you've got a drama queen.
Eldest
They start pinning each other.
Elvis
This is, this is a get out of drama free card right now. All right? You're doing, doing this. I don't want to hear like, hey.
Stavi
I'm happy for you, but this has nothing to do with me.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And I would just, that's my only thing is, like, don't get too sucked in. Because I would argue I maybe did get a little too sucked in for my tastes, where I was like, you know, I got really in the middle of making sure everything could happen, whatever, you know, and part of that is that poor people just can't get divorced because it costs money.
Eldest
It's devastating.
Stavi
I sort of just like, I basically bankrolled my parents divorce. You know what I mean? Like, good for you. And so, and, and I would just say, like, and I should have drawn like, firmer boundaries around that where it's like, look, I'm going to make this happen because this is the best thing, but I don't want to. I ended up being a little more in the middle than I would have liked in certain aspects. So I would say to you, don't get in the middle. Let them go through their thing. Make sure you're there.
Eldest
Be.
Stavi
Be there for them in any capacity that makes sense for you. But ultimately, even though you're an adult, you're still the kid here. Right? And it's still their responsibility to figure this out. I'm.
Eldest
So you think my parents got divorced when I was three. Yeah. Yeah.
Stavi
So I'm like, yeah, because you have, you already have an. How are you?
Eldest
What.
Stavi
How did it feel with your ex stepmother when that happened?
Eldest
That had happened at a time when I wasn't. I don't currently talk to my father. It's been a while. So that happened like around that time. I was older anyway.
Stavi
Sure.
Eldest
But yeah, I mean, I come by. It's very messy. Like my family doesn't talk. There's certain factions that don't talk or passed away. And then once they're like. Once they're dead, you're dead to me. That kind of thing. The last time I'll see you at the funeral, a lot of that. And it's like I've just stepped back from like all of it. And the fact that when I moved to New York, I removed myself from like the day to day of it, you know, and you're just like. That gave me perspective that you can have now of like. Like you're out of. I think if you're 27 and your parents have raised you and it's like there's no. There's no other. There's no more responsibility or burden. It's like you have to, like you said, just stay, stay away and go. Like I can watch from afar and come in when I'm needed. Of course, for your mom to cry on your shoulder or whatever, whatever. But like, stay the out of it. That's, you know, boundaries.
Stavi
I fully agree. But yeah, you know, good luck out there.
Eldest
Knock them dead.
Elvis
Two Christmases.
Stavi
That's right.
Elvis
Two Thanksgiving dinners.
Eldest
Or two hunters. Hanukkah's.
Elvis
Or two Hanukkahs. Sure.
Stavi
Or a Hanukkah on a Christmas.
Caller 1
JD here, just had a quick question for you. I need some advice on a situation in my current relationship. Been with a girl 3 years. Love her to death. We worked at the same place. Worked at a grocery store together with her. I worked there seven years. Thing that's eating away at me that I keep keeping from her. Before her, I ended up having sex with three different girls in the same department before her. And everyone at my grocery store would call me the Deli Jecker because I worked in the deli department. And she knows about two of them, but the third one, that she doesn't. Everyone else in my friend group, everyone from that job knows but her. And I feel bad not telling her, but the main reason I don't want her to ever find out is she was 17 years older than me. She was a raging alcohol.
Stavi
And what a save.
Eldest
Whoa. I was.
Stavi
What a save.
Eldest
I was gonna go dump it. Dump it.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was 17 years older than me. He gave us the dramatic pause too. I was like, eldest fucking delete this, man. I don't want to be accessory to this. Anyway, keep going.
Caller 1
She was a raging alcoholic and she was into ddl. Daddy daughter love, if you want to look that up. But she ended up getting me drunk at a work party, drugging me with high doses edibles she told me that were low. Coming back to her house and then hooking up with her for the first couple of weeks. Nights, but a couple nights, that's it.
Stavi
But two to three times. I'm sure that getting. She got me drunk. She got me drunk for weeks at a time.
Ryan D
Come on.
Elvis
Misery.
Caller 1
After that I got grossed out and ashamed. Never called her back. And then I started dating the girl I've been with for three years after. So just having a problem not telling her. It's not like she needs to know. But since everyone I know knows, even my best friend who works at a hospital dealt with her having a alcohol overdose. He found out two nights after I hooked up with her and I just found that out last week. He told me. He just never told me that he ended up meeting her. Anyway, just some advice. I know a piece of shit. I just don't know. Would you tell someone this? Would you ever bring it up? Would you continue to hide it? Just let me know.
Caller 2
Thanks.
Stavi
Interesting. So basically he's saying there's a secret. I have a secret here. Do I let it lie? Do I come clean? It's been three years that he's been in this relationship. Yeah. I guess the question is like, what, why? What do you have to gain? What's the. In what context would you bring it up? Like, would you just say, hey, I just want you to know I. This lady I fucked.
Elvis
Marge.
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eldest
I will say, as someone who's worked many years in a supermarket, those deli guys are bad news. Bad news. You know, it's.
Elvis
It.
Eldest
I know it all. Your co. The deli guys play by their own rules.
Stavi
Is this really a. Yeah. Yeah. True stereotype?
Eldest
Oh, a hundred percent.
Stavi
Did you do any hooking up at the grocery store?
Eldest
No, I was quite young. There was. But no, I mean I was still in like. We were like 15, 16.
Stavi
So the. What were the.
Eldest
Yeah, because they're all older. They're all like.
Stavi
Right.
Eldest
Mostly drug. You know, there's a lot of drug use either prior or during or during or whatever. And also like criminal and like it is the. It is a good kind of landing pad for someone coming out of a bumpy place. Cuz it's like, you know, probably like 15, you know, it's like a decent paycheck Right. That you can, like, kind of get back on your feet.
Stavi
Foley's got a couple applications out right now.
Eldest
Wait. I'm waiting to hear back from Wegmans.
Elvis
I heard old drugs and lunch. Me. That's what I heard.
Eldest
Slipping out of his seat.
Elvis
I was. I was for a second. I forgot you guys were all here.
Stavi
Yeah, interesting.
Eldest
But it is. It's very. It's. So. I get it.
Stavi
Did you ever work in any incestuous workplaces like that at all? Not really, no. Yeah, me neither. Really, about you, do you have any restaurants and bars?
Elvis
Restaurants and bars. Everyone's.
Stavi
Yeah, everyone's.
Elvis
You get a good group. Everyone's. Everyone's at the right point in their lives. Everyone's partying and. Yeah, it's all right.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
Yeah, it's all right for a few months. It's all right.
Stavi
Of course. Yeah. So I guess, like, my thing is, here's where I would be if I were you.
Elvis
Me?
Stavi
No, no, no, no.
Eldest
I'd be at that goddamn deli counter taking a ticket, I'll tell you that much.
Stavi
I'd be getting versed in different types. Pastramis.
Ryan D
Yeah.
Stavi
No, if I. If I was this guy. She knows about the other two. Ostensibly, it came up organically. If this ever comes up, you don't lie.
Eldest
Right?
Caller 2
Yeah.
Eldest
Just go, oh, it was one. It was so long ago.
Stavi
But it feels like the kind of thing where bringing it up out of the blue is kind of weird.
Eldest
Sure.
Stavi
Right. Like, I get the fact that everybody around him knows, but it's not like they're snickering behind her back because you fucked up.
Eldest
No one's talking about it or thinking about it.
Stavi
No, no one except you is thinking about it. About it. And it's. You didn't betray her. It's not like you cheated on her early in your relationship. It's that before you met with her, you hooked up with someone that's kind of embarrassing to you.
Elvis
Very. I think that's what it is. From the way he was trying to throw that old lady under the bus.
Stavi
Yeah, exactly.
Eldest
That old lady. Then use that as you go. I was going to tell you, but I'm just like. I was pretty shameful about it. It was a bad time in my life. You know, whatever.
Elvis
I'm just playing devil's advocate here. If that does come up in the break room, like, oh, that's the time. Fuck, Tony. Whatever it is. Yes. And she hit What? That's gonna. She's not gonna, like.
Stavi
I don't think that comes up. That's weird.
Eldest
Yeah. I mean, something.
Stavi
Still working at the grocery store.
Eldest
It's a. Let's pad.
Stavi
Let's talk about. Let's talk about different things here. Different issues. You've been with this girl for three years. You were there before. You were there long enough to three women.
Eldest
He's been there for at least seven years.
Stavi
Yeah, you've been there for. For a while, brother. What are we doing that's a good gig?
Eldest
I mean, you know, it's. It's. It's a solid paycheck. A lot of those. I don't know where in the country it is, but, like, ours was unionized, okay? Deli workers and, like, the meat workers or whatever. Plus my boy. My boy got me bumped up to the meat room. And he would get there every day and turn the crock pot on, throw a bunch of meats in there, let it cook for like four, five, six hours. At the end of the night, he had a. I mean, everybody was eating.
Stavi
That's awesome.
Eldest
It's a good time.
Stavi
And look, if there. If there is a way for you to get whatever.
Elvis
Access to the crock pot.
Stavi
Yeah, I. I didn't realize there was some good. I didn't realize there was crockpot access here. I take back what I'm going to say. Crock pot. Yeah, dude. I mean, I don't think it's the kind of thing where it's just funny that she knows about the two you're not ashamed of, but you hid the one you were ashamed of because you didn't technically do anything wrong. You know, you just kind of.
Eldest
You're embarrassed by it.
Stavi
You're just embarrassed by your behavior. So I would say it, you know, if it ever comes up, you don't deny it. And if she's like, why didn't you tell me? You're like, well, why would I? I mean, like, yeah, it just never came up. I never denied it, but it doesn't. Does it really matter who I fucked before?
Elvis
You talk about all the old guys you fucked?
Stavi
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about you, you fucking whore? How much cock were you sucking before you met me?
Eldest
When you were working in prison? Vodos. Yeah, I don't know about that.
Elvis
That's what I'm talking about. That's what they call flipping the script, putting her on trial and then things I done.
Eldest
Tell her you're going to kill yourself.
Stavi
I thought you loved me.
Eldest
I thought you loved me.
Stavi
And then threaten to overdose on pills.
Eldest
Classic.
Stavi
There you go. So, yeah, man, those are your two options.
Eldest
That's what I would do. Do.
Elvis
Yeah, but get that crock pot going.
Stavi
As get crock by going, hopefully you're a manager of the deli section. And listen, if you haven't had a raise in years, maybe think about, you know, sprucing up the resume, putting some extracurriculars together, interning somewhere, I don't know what.
Elvis
But you know, unless you're bottom special skills, you're good at closing with older bronze.
Stavi
I could see there being some upward mobility though, you know, maybe even man managing a grocery store for sure.
Eldest
Those are pretty good jobs. Those are tough jobs.
Elvis
You know what you do?
Eldest
Store manager.
Elvis
You want the Machiavellian, whatever that is.
Stavi
Machiavellian, Yep.
Elvis
You want the Machiavellian approach.
Stavi
Yes.
Elvis
You become general manager, get rid of anybody that knows anything.
Stavi
Right, right, right.
Elvis
And you're in the clear.
Stavi
Smart, smart, smart. Beautiful, beautiful.
Elvis
Or if you want to keep tapping the old lady, bring her up to assistant general manager.
Eldest
Start working late nights, weekends.
Stavi

Caller 2
Hi, long time listener, first time caller and I'm having a bit of a dog dilemma. You see, back at home, I'm in college, so I different, you know, you get it. Okay. So back at home I have this super cute little fluffy black and white dog and my mom takes her on walks in the morning and at night. We just recently got these new neighbors. The guy happens to be a cop. On two occasions, these people's dogs have gotten out and I guess you could say like attacked my mom and my dog. They never really got their teeth on her or anything like that. This is unfortunately something that has happened before. So there my mom kind of has a drill. She'll pick up my dog and like, you know, yell at this dog, dogs. Because on the same road they have been attacked by a different neighbor's dog who got let out and did manage to get their teeth on my dog. She's fine now, but a traumatizing event. And this happened now with these same people twice. And we don't know what to do. We, you know, we thought of calling animal control, but we just don't want to start beef with like this cop neighbor of ours. But I mean, at this point, his dogs have ran up on my dogs twice. And every time like this lady comes out and is like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. Like I thought they were on a leash. And it's like, you dumb bitch. Like, you know your dog is on a leash because you put them on the leash. What do you mean you don't know? So we just don't know what to do. We tried like talking to them and stuff, but like after the first time and it happened a second time. So clearly nothing got through to them. So, yeah, just let us know, huh?
Stavi
This is interesting.
Elvis
I mean, the cop things are relevant.
Stavi
You think it's irrelevant?
Elvis
You think he's the only guy in the town with a gun?
Eldest
What are we doing here?
Elvis
Out of here.
Stavi
I like that over here. I like that. I like we're an old guy with.
Elvis
A up face and two thumbs up dogs.
Eldest
As a guy with a crazy dog.
Stavi
You do have a crazy.
Eldest
I got a crazy dog. They know. They're well aware. If you have a dog that is like doing that multiple times, you know how your dog react. It's just like, that's not the Only two times it's ever happened. They act like that. And I think the guy that. This guy being a cop is a positive. It's like he's aware of what will happen if they bite your mom or that dog.
Elvis
Yeah.
Eldest
If they kill that like those dogs will get put down essentially if they bite your.
Elvis
Which you don't want, but you don't want.
Eldest
So I think you just go to the cop, go like guys, we have to figure out how to. Otherwise my mom's gonna get bit, my dog's gonna get killed, your dog's gonna get put down. Like.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
Nobody wins in this.
Elvis
I think unfortunately it has to happen one more time. You miss your window.
Stavi
I kind of agree with you.
Eldest
I don't at all. I just. I'd go knock on the door and just say, hey, how do we. Not like a combatively but like how. How do we solve this?
Stavi
But it. Out of the blue, if it hasn't been a problem again, it doesn't have.
Eldest
To be a full.
Elvis
You look like a psycho.
Stavi
It doesn't have to be a full on attack.
Elvis
Unless she comes home from school on Thanksgiving. Hey, listen, while I was away, I know this happened a couple of times. Listen, my dog's already been attacked right By. By another thing. My mom's. My, my mom's, you know, older, whatever. You know what I mean?
Stavi
She doesn't want to stir the. But me, I'm antifa. I'm a. I'm in college. I'm getting my brain poison poisoned by.
Eldest
Liberals and I know that co.
Elvis
Problem name and badge number. Start hitting him with that.
Eldest
Just so you know, I am recording.
Stavi
I'm recording you. I am recording you. It is my first amendment right to record you. Yeah, go at him like that, he'll love that.
Elvis
Your ass beat by a cop.
Stavi
But I, But I like that though. But I. I see what F is saying where it's like it look it. It is weird to. You've had this conversation. It's happened twice and you've talked to them, you know, both times. You kind of. It doesn't have to be a full on attack, but if there's even like. If you even see them on without a leash or whatever, you just have to be like, hey, this has happened too many times.
Elvis
Yeah, she could step in here. She's home. I haven't been home. I haven't seen it.
Stavi
Right, right.
Elvis
She also said the lady was like, you know when they're really bad people, they don't even fucking say, well, it's your dog's. Fault. At least lady came. I'm so sorry. I thought they were on a leash. Whatever, you know, you get in that situation, you start. You start back. Backpedaling.
Stavi
That's why I'm saying. And because of her, like, behaviors, why I'm saying, like, okay, wait for a very small infraction.
Eldest
Be like, hey, if they're barking when you get out of the car, or whatever.
Stavi
You guys have been reasonable. I get that. But I'm sorry, if. If another attack happens, I have to call animal control. So please, please, we don't want that to happen. Please. And it sucks to tell you, like, okay, hopefully the next one could be horrible. But it's like, hopefully something minor happens or, like, fully says, you coming back. That is kind of a chance to be like, hey, my mom told me what's going on. I just want to, like, check in here because she's, you know, she's nervous.
Eldest
She's getting older. Whatever, whatever. It's not like she, you know. Yeah, she's not gonna be able to maybe save it every time or if it happens again.
Elvis
You said you're in college, you go home, you seduce the cop, right? Get that on tape.
Stavi
Get it on tape.
Eldest
Cream pile. Yeah.
Elvis
No, but I'm saying maybe when you come home, you can go over. Hey, listen, I brought over, I. I don't know, some dog treats for the dogs. I just wanted to ask you again.
Stavi
Really? Poison in the dog treats?
Elvis
Pull a Putin on him?
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
Plutonium at college.
Eldest
Yeah.
Elvis
You know, you bring. You bring a little basket over stuff. Listen, I don't want to seem like a dick and, you know.
Stavi
Yeah, that's nice.
Elvis
You know something?
Eldest
I don't know.
Stavi
And.
Eldest
And.
Stavi
But I see what you guys are saying, that the cop. I'm with her in terms of. Like, I would. Because just, you know, just what I know of the cops in my life, the cops I've been around. Let's just say I could see them not taking kindly to being reported and then making your life miserable. But I say if you've got. If you. That's why it sucks. You have to tread a little lighter here. But I also think you guys make a good point where it's like, he understands what's.
Eldest
Yeah, they're also dog. So it's like, listen, if your dog bites my. Kills my dog or bites my mom, like, we all lose our dogs here. Like, this is. It's not like one person wins. Like, this gets up for everybody.
Elvis
You're new, you're new.
Caller 2
You're.
Elvis
You're new here since you said they just moved in, right?
Stavi
Yeah, you know.
Elvis
You sure?
Eldest
Small town.
Elvis
Small town. You know what I mean.
Stavi
We don't do things like that around here.
Elvis
Differently out here. Okay. I know what you're used to in the big city.
Eldest
Yeah?
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
Getting real. Tulsa. King.
Stavi
You got something fun for us to go out on here, Eldis?
Elvis
Yeah.
Ryan D
Here's a little health tip.
Stavi
Wonderful.
Caller 2
All right. Jesus Christ. Now I'm using this hotline as if it's your real fucking voicemail. What's up, Stav? Hi, Eldis. I'm watching episode one of season three. Stavi gets ripped.
Caller 1
Ripped.
Caller 2
As a fellow zepbound baddie. As a fellow fat ass. I'm with you, Stav. We're losing weight together on the juice. All right. I am a nutrition major and I work with several doctors. You are injecting too far away from your belly button, Stav.
Eldest
I did notice that.
Caller 2
You got to inject closer to your belly button. There's a whole thing about the injection site and how potent, how the potency affects you. When you inject it closer or farther away on your stomach, you got to inject closer, buddy. The needs to seep into those intestines. I love you. I'm there with you.
Stavi
This is insane. This is actually helpful.
Caller 2
You are having a great day. Bye, guys. I love you.
Elvis
Wow, that's so crazy, because they've told me the same thing. And with the. With the oic. It was. You went one here, one here.
Eldest
Is it naran.
Elvis
Yeah, no, through, like, one week here, one week here. I think maybe one week here, one week here. I think I'm doing one potato, two potato.
Stavi
Yeah, with the.
Elvis
Yeah, with the zeppelin. It's three inches from your belly button.
Stavi
What the.
Eldest
I saw you side.
Stavi
Yeah, I'm on the side. I'm around here.
Eldest
Yeah, just right around here. I. I mean, I don't know. I don't listen. I don't know. They told me two inches. So when I saw you side saddle it, I'm like, oh, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Stavi
Maybe.
Eldest
Maybe I'm like, not. I got bet if. But maybe I'm like, oh, maybe I literally saw it when. Maybe the location occasion doesn't matter.
Elvis
I don't get. Unless it goes into a vein. I don't understand how it works anyway.
Stavi
Yeah, we're too stupid to get that.
Elvis
What? It goes into the fat, and then where does it go from there?
Stavi
Who knows, man? We're never gonna figure that out, right? Yeah, I know.
Eldest
We're also the three Guys eating ourselves to death.
Stavi
Yeah.
Eldest
Like maybe we're not the guys to crack.
Elvis
I know the cheeseburger goes here, goes through here, and it comes out my poopy hole.
Stavi
That's actually. I was so ready to be like, eldest you. Some guy telling me to. Hey, man, calories in calories. I love that note where it's like, you don't think I know that I don't have willpower.
Elvis
You.
Stavi
You think you're the. And part of the reason we even did this series is because everyone there's. If there's one thing people love commenting on, it's someone trying to lose weight.
Elvis
Sure.
Stavi
Because it's either they're. They're. They want to support you. They. Or they want to call you a fat piece of shit or they want to tell you that you did it wrong. Where they want to brag about the. Their own weight loss.
Elvis
Yeah. It.
Eldest
Really apologize for those comments. It's easy, dude.
Elvis
Just walk up here on a treadmill for half an hour. Chicken and rice, ground beef. No.
Stavi
Just stop eating. It's like, I am an addict.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
This is the. You don't think. Look at the rest of my life. I work hard to do a lot of. I've done a lot of. That's hard. You think if I couldn't. If I could just not eat, I wouldn't. I just have a. Hilarious. And I know you don't get it because you eat every day and it doesn't affect. Affect you. But I don't drink. I don't hit my wife. I don't do whatever.
Eldest
Yeah. Are you giving me a pill for that?
Elvis
Stop me. Do you not drink at all?
Stavi
I kind of stopped drinking. For health reasons. No, because I'm trying to. I'm trying to just like I was sober for a year and then I kind of was. You know, I would drink a little bit. I would smoke a little bit.
Elvis
Smoking a little bit still.
Stavi
I gotta get. I gotta cut that too. That's kind of.
Elvis
Any shrooms or anything like that?
Stavi
I will do shrooms on a special occasion. I haven't in a while.
Elvis
But never micro dose. You mean you. If you're doing a them you're getting.
Stavi
I would get up, but I would do that when I'm like, you know, I've made a plan. It's vacation. I'm not stressed out.
Elvis
I got you.
Stavi
And even a cocktail. I honestly have realized weed is so much more my problem than drinking.
Elvis
Oh.
Stavi
If I Like when I was in Venice, I'm gonna have a couple cocktail you know, I go to. I go to, like, if I. If it's a beautiful day, I'm with my friends, we're on a rooftop.
Eldest
I'll have a apple spritz or something.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
If I'm. If I'm barbecuing, I'll have a brewski. But it's like, it's not.
Eldest
It's more of a vibe thing.
Stavi
It's totally.
Eldest
You're not drinking to get up.
Stavi
Yes. I have stopped drinking to get up.
Eldest
I have not done.
Elvis
That's the way. I can't drink. I can't go to a barbecue.
Eldest
I'm not a vibe guy.
Elvis
I can go to a dark bar in LA and be like, we're going to be here for eight hours and we're going to get obliterated.
Stavi
That sounds fun as. And don't get me wrong, I will probably have one of those every year. Time to treat myself.
Eldest
That's also a vibe thing. Yeah. Like, I go golfing once, but if I go to.
Elvis
If I go to a barbecue bar, if I go to a barbecue and I have like one or two beers, I like, I. I like, feel weird. Like, I want more.
Stavi
I know you mean. Honestly, at barbecues, I've actually started going na. Beer.
Elvis
Nice.
Stavi
Because it's so much about the vibe of just holding a beer in your hand.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
You know, and having a dog or whatever that I. I used to just have a beer or two, but then I did. Even that kind of gets you feeling like, I should have 12 of these.
Elvis
Yeah. Like, you get to that point, it's like, we're. We're off to shore. Let's go, yo. But I just lower the sales and hit the gas.
Stavi
It just does suck, though, because a lot of the comments will be like, cut out sodas, cut out drinking. And I'm like, I have done all this. Wait, what? Yeah. And the. The worst part is, like, I have got out a lot of. Right. Like, that's supposed to. People. Like, I stopped drink. I stop. I switched to diet sodas and I dropped 40 pounds. Like, I did that 10 years ago.
Eldest
Yeah. This is me doing a lot of things pretty well.
Stavi
Doing a lot of stuff. Except when I'm. You know, every once in a while I will hit the kitchen and just throw 3, 000 calories down my gullet.
Elvis
Sure.
Stavi
Like, it's nothing.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And I love it. And nothing makes me feel better.
Caller 1
Yeah.
Elvis
It's crazy.
Stavi
So up. I love it so much.
Eldest
I did it yesterday.
Elvis
I was telling somebody about this, like, you know, a Few weeks ago, I was at. I was home at my mom's house. And, you know, she's up to bed at like 8:30. It's just me in the refrigerator.
Stavi
Yeah. And you. You won't go to bed till 9, 9:15.
Elvis
Night owl. So I got 45 minutes to kill. But it's like, I go in, I pull out. I pull out a sleeve of Thomas's English muffins.
Stavi
A sleeve of.
Elvis
You know what I mean? I take the English muffins out.
Stavi
Look at them.
Elvis
She got the butter on the counter. It's right next to the toaster.
Stavi
It would be.
Elvis
No, I can't just have one of those, right? I eat like five.
Stavi
Yeah.
Elvis
I got one go going. Water, one. And the first one, I'll do it light so I can get it in me. Let the other one, you know, prime the pump. Yeah.
Stavi
First one just to get it started.
Elvis
It's not.
Stavi
It's not.
Elvis
And like, I know it's not like, I mean that, like. Wait a minute. A box English muffins.
Stavi
No. You just can't stop.
Elvis
Can't stop, won't stop.
Stavi
I'm with you. Even the pro. The protein bars start getting that way too. At first it's like, and a. And a Dasani. And then it's like.
Elvis
You know those barbells, they're like stickers bars.
Stavi
They are like. They are like.
Elvis
You know what's really good? I. I don't know what the name of them is. Swoop or Smooth or something. They're like marshmallow.
Stavi
Oh, the puff ones. Those are unbelievable. Those are straight up candy.
Elvis
Candy.
Eldest
They.
Stavi
Those barely have any protein. They have like 11 grams of protein.
Elvis
Yeah.
Stavi
And they're like, it's a protein bar. So I get a. It's a candy bar. Yeah. Yeah. But they are good.
Elvis
They're great.
Stavi
But that's very good. That actually is good advice. I will. I am due for another shot in a couple days, and I will take your advice and I will see how it affects me.
Ryan D
That just shows truly how shitty your doctor actually is. Like, didn't even, like, think to mention.
Stavi
I need a real doctor. I just got a nurse practitioner that would. That would prescribe me whatever I asked for.
Eldest
Dude, I went to this.
Elvis
I put it in your eyeball.
Eldest
I went to this woman in midtown. I just typed in fat doctor. And dude, she was like, did you, like, 75 years old, came in with. Wearing high heels, big fake tits. I love that baseball back. She's like, what do you want?
Stavi
I'm like, now we're talking now we're talking.
Eldest
She's like, it's a combo. It's Ozempic and zepbound. We fused them together. Dude, I would do. I feel like my eyes were falling out of my head, dude.
Stavi
Yeah. I need a real doctor. But yes, thank you. That actually is great advice and I can't wait to.
Elvis
Yeah, it is.
Stavi
To see what happens now that I will be going closer to the belly button.
Eldest
Hopefully it affects me with somebody else before that. That don't.
Elvis
No, it's belly button for sure.
Stavi
Oh, you guys are both zip bound guys.
Elvis
Yeah, it's all about the belly button.
Eldest
Yeah.
Stavi
And it's working great.
Eldest
Hey, I'm down. I'm down £40.
Stavi
You know, maybe I'll stick to how I'm doing. It matters.
Elvis
Mac and cheese. I was promised a meal when I came over there. Take a nice joint like this. You're not putting out something. You complain about the venison festival. I don't see a charcuterie board downstairs.

Host: Stavros Halkias
Guests: “Are You Garbage?” hosts Kevin (Kippy) Ryan, H. Foley, and crew
Date: October 20, 2025
This episode features Stavros Halkias joined by the hosts of “Are You Garbage?”, Kevin Ryan and H. Foley, bringing their signature blend of self-deprecating humor, blue-collar perspectives, and endless banter. Set in a temporary Manhattan studio at NYU, the crew reminisce about theatrical misadventures, dissect all manner of “garbage” lifestyle choices (especially around food, travel, and flying), and field wild listener calls—including a polyamory/paternity crisis and dealing with a Nazi tattoo artist. Expect stories about airport breakfasts, white trash ingenuity, hotel hierarchies, and a healthy roast of one another’s dietary habits and life decisions.
| Time | Segment / Highlight | |--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01:10–05:40 | Academic pasts, intellectual decline, comedy vs. college smarts | | 06:00–14:00 | Tales of trashy theater, performing arts, and cultural divides | | 15:54–42:00 | Airport routines, soda machines, and the ethics of second breakfasts | | 32:25–65:10 | Plane/seat etiquette, road trips, conversion van stories | | 68:01–80:04 | Polyamory & paternity listener call | | 86:41–93:14 | Nazi tattoo artist dilemma & advice | | 94:06–99:56 | Adult children of divorce advice | | 100:13–108:46| Pre-relationship hookups guilt | | 110:42–117:39| Dog attacks & cop neighbor dilemma | | 117:44–124:53| Weight loss medication advice & food addiction confessions |
The episode encapsulates the “Are You Garbage?” ethos: pride in humble roots, roast-your-friends camaraderie, and a willingness to talk openly about shame, addiction, and real life messiness. Mixing wild storytelling with sincere listener problem-solving, it's a hilarious, chaotic, and oddly heartwarming hang.
Upcoming:
“I just have to say, what makes everyone happy is 20 boxes of pizza in the corner of a room, even at the Venice Film Festival.”
