We got a special one.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We really do. I. I mean, I think you said it like we both maybe came in a little lower energy to start, and then it just started ripping and roaring and I mean, this is a kind of departure, but if people like this, we definitely plan on doing a little bit more. You want to set it up?

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. We go back into the dating game. We've got our shows turning a little bit into, like, the Bachelor. So now we had our first Bachelor. Now we're doing the spin off. Soon we're going to do like, senior bachelors or whatever they're doing now. Golden Bachelors.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Which is, by the way, the funniest premise to a thing I've ever heard. Oh, did I tell you what Lamorne did to me? His podcast?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No.

[Jake Johnson]

This was pretty funny. I was in Alaska with Anna Conkle. We were driving, and I get a call from Lamorne, and he and I are text buddies. So I'll call you go. Like everything. Like, if you called me two in the afternoon, I'm like, are you okay?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

And he goes, yo, I just got a crazy opportunity.

[Trevor]

I got offered something and I. And I'm curious to see what you think. It's a lot of money.

[Jake Johnson]

And ABC has asked me to be the next Bachelor.

[Trevor]

And I would have to. Yeah. And I would have to live in.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This mansion for ten weeks.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, keep going. It's $13 million. Keep going.

[Trevor]

Yeah, that's.

[Jake Johnson]

That's basically the whole gist of it.

[Trevor]

And I think it shoots.

[Gareth Reynolds]

They're screwing around the Location, but it.

[Jake Johnson]

Shoot either here in town or Cabo.

[Trevor]

Somewhere tropical at some house.

[Jake Johnson]

So I'm going to give you real advice then on it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

Knowing you and knowing. And take away sensitivity of this because this is real. Because you know that I care about you.

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

You like the idea of being more famous. And this will make you very famous.

[Trevor]

The more.

[Jake Johnson]

This might put you in another universe, man.

[Trevor]

Dude. So you think I should do it?

[Jake Johnson]

I kind of think you should do it. I mean, I know I wouldn't do it, but I don't like the attention. You say you don't.

[Trevor]

You say you don't like it, but you walk out the house, don't you? If you didn't like it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

If you didn't like this shit, Jake, you wouldn't leave the house. You one of the most famous people. You don't like it.

[Jake Johnson]

I think take the money, man. Okay, but the catch.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, yeah, there's some. It's because it.

[Trevor]

Because they know I'm in the comedy business.

[Jake Johnson]

The catch is half the women are.

[Trevor]

Younger, but half the women are 60 and up.

[Jake Johnson]

That's a joke.

[Trevor]

That's real.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's real.

[Jake Johnson]

Is this a joke?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, that's real.

[Trevor]

60 and up.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I have to date women.

[Trevor]

They're like between 21 and 25.

[Jake Johnson]

And there'd be. There's 60 and up.

[Trevor]

So there's no women in my age range.

[Jake Johnson]

Are you lamon? They might be.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You don't know me.

[Jake Johnson]

They might be. They might be with you.

[Trevor]

Lauren.

[Jake Johnson]

Jake, I got news for you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm with you and you're on my podcast.

[Jake Johnson]

So funny. But for our show today, I gotta say, man, I think Nat Attack Sherlock. This was some good producing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It truly was. It's. And I think we maybe got a little better at finding our way through it. But yes, it's. What's funny is that we do. We say this a lot, like we really want to help people. And this one felt very genuinely like, you know, trying to help someone who had been on the show and. Absolutely, you know, it's. It's really interesting to watch too. To watch, like, dudes suss out what they would do with other dudes. It also shows you that men, like, when it comes to, like, planning stuff, that's always a gripe that, like, people in relationships with dudes have. It is like, you're. A lot of times, like, I don't know, I mean, it'd be cool to, you know, be in a car and go somewhere. That'd be awesome.

[Jake Johnson]

Or I'll be In a garage. We'll do another garage.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Get ready for the theme of garage.

[Jake Johnson]

People are just this strangest, strange.

[Gareth Reynolds]

But it's great. It's really compelling. It's definitely funny.

[Jake Johnson]

And I will say season two.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Our show is going totally off the rails.

[Gareth Reynolds]

People seem to like that, though. People.

[Jake Johnson]

Either way, we can't control it anymore.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think we just do what we like.

[Jake Johnson]

It has to just go totally out. But Eric. So everybody was buzzing about the Eric and Steve episode. We're going to start doing more of those. I think we're just entering. We're done with the RE releases. We've heard you. Everybody got so goddamn mad at them. We thought, what's the downside?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, we just thought a little something for you. But we were doing, you know what?

[Jake Johnson]

We only did one a week. We're like, let's do two a week.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It reminds me this. When I work, when I worked at this restaurant in Boston called Legal Seafood.

[Jake Johnson]

I would like the worst name for a restaurant of.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Everyone would come in and be like, is there illegal seafood?

[Jake Johnson]

And also, why are you advertising for that?

[Gareth Reynolds]

We are.

[Jake Johnson]

It's legal.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. We have hangers, right? Yeah, yeah. It's like on the first day, hamburger. No STDs. But so. So I used to work there and every, you know, I'd walk. It was in Boston. So I'd walk through, like, the Boston Common and I would. I would put in a bag, like a To go bag. Like, you know, whatever sides, like bread and whatever sides. And sometimes I walk through the Common and the. The bag said Legal Seafood, and it had a lobster on it. And then there were just a bunch of sides. And I'd go up to people who were in there and I'd be like, do you want some food? And they'd be like, oh. And then I'd be handing them stuff and they'd be like, where's the lobster? And I'd be like, well, there's no lobster. It's just other stuff. And they'd be like, eh, I'm good. I was like, well, it's something. You don't want something for free. Something. I agree. That's what the RE releases feel like. People like, yeah, nah, leave us alone.

[Jake Johnson]

Either way, that is the truth. When you're giving away free stuff and somebody goes like, what else you got?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. You're like, buddy, okay, I'm making something.

[Jake Johnson]

You know, can I get it? Now that I got this sandwich, it hasn't been touched. What's on it? You're like, I'm not selling it. I'm not advertising for the sandwich.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, like, whatever.

[Jake Johnson]

Turkey, cheese. And then they go, mustard again. I really.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm not a Subway. I just. I thought it was nice. You know what? I'm going to eat it. I'm going to eat it right now.

[Jake Johnson]

I was planning on eating it when I got home, but I thought you might need it more. And a lot of they put you in a position where you're trying to convince them it's a good sandwich. And I'm like, I won't do that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Let's do halvesies. We'll sit here. I'll go get you some mustard.

[Jake Johnson]

I go, you know, the bread is toasted.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, I got it toasted. It's a quiz.

[Jake Johnson]

I would say the cheese is melted.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I just. I don't know. I mean, some people would be very excited. Anyway, that's the re releases. So to your point, we've moved on and we might be finding some new.

[Jake Johnson]

Wrinkles, but it's a. I'm excited to have Eric and Steve on more.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, yeah.

[Trevor]

I.

[Jake Johnson]

We both, the four of us have now known each other probably 20 years and we, we say behind their backs a lot, but they are as funny as anybody in the game.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think they proved it. If people haven't listened to that, they should. We're going to do more. We. There's some stuff we didn't even finish talking about on that episode that we'll pick up. So to your point, I mean, we're just gonna keep finding things that we think are fun and we're still doing the regular stuff.

[Jake Johnson]

The Monday will never change. The Monday will always be Gareth and callers. And it's because Gareth and I love that we're doing that. Wednesdays will always be sometimes with Gareth and a guest, sometimes me and a guest, sometimes us together, sometimes a weird dating game, sometimes a chat. It's always changing. But we have heard the complaint of re releases. We thought the curation of it could be fun for those writing in and saying, don't be bullied by the haters. Do what you want. The reality is it's not. It's entertainment. The fodder back and forth has been so entertaining to do and to change the show based off the people has been a joy. But last but not least, I want to go back to one other thing we had started touching on with the guys with the Eric and the Steve. But I will say, Gareth, you and I have, you know, we're both kind of doing our thing established in our galaxies. Steve's in his world, you know, Eric is more in a dramatic actor. But when you and I will do other people's pods and entered this podcast space with you about two years ago now and we saw the big players, I don't think those people are funnier than Steve and Eric.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You know, it's one of the things that's so weird about the way the business is changing and why podcasts are kind of great is because people who had to sort of do what other people told can now be themselves. And Steve and Eric are two guys who you. I mean, truly, you are like non stop laughing.

[Jake Johnson]

Yes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And you kind of are like, well, why doesn't that side get to shine?

[Jake Johnson]

Agreed.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And then we've kind of like, you know, tinkered around with it a little bit since we started doing this. But to do that all together and see the response, be very positive, it's like, well, yeah, you're buckle up. By the way, those two are wild boys.

[Jake Johnson]

All right, well, we got a real winner today.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

If you guys like it. As always, comment where you comment, tell people about the show. Yes, it really does help. Yep, help spread the word.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All that to say enjoy this one because it is pretty great.

[Jake Johnson]

It is. It's an interesting one.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And without further ado.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Listen, there's a litany of things that we shouldn't get angry about, but let's be honest, sometimes it's hard. I'll tell you one thing that really drives me crazy, that grinds my gears. When someone's got their turn signal on too long, they're just sitting there with a turn signal on. I'm always like, you idiot, you're not going right. You're not going in the right lane. You're confusing everybody. And then sometimes I'm the guy with the signal on and I'm like, well, come on, everybody, have a little empathy. I made a mistake. But instead of getting angry about that stupid stuff, get an angry Orchard and feel good, feel chill and refreshed.

[Jake Johnson]

I am a hard cider guy. I enjoy. It started when I was doing the Mummy in London. I would go to pubs, I'd get hard cider. And so Angry Orchard is a cider I enjoy. It's the number one hard cider in the country. It's naturally refreshing, it is delicious and has just the right amount of sweetness that makes it the perfect drink when you're looking for something a little different.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Grab an Angry Orchard cider today. Don't get angry. Get orchard. Please drink responsibly. Hello.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hey, Sam. Hi. Welcome back.

[Trevor]

Thank you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

How are you feeling?

[Trevor]

Pretty good. Excited to be back.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is a big day for you. Well, we were thinking maybe Natalie will sort of reintroduce what this is. So Natak, who does attack on and off air. Do you want to remind people what we're doing here today? Yeah. So we're doing round two of the Friendship game and our new contestant is Sam, who many felt did not get a fair shot at Natalie.

[Jake Johnson]

You felt like he didn't get a fair shot?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No.

[Jake Johnson]

I mean, you said me before we got on. You said me. And some of the call emailers felt like he just got steamrolled because he said he never listened to the show. He didn't have kids. And all we. All we commented on him was that he liked pizza or something.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes, that was the one.

[Jake Johnson]

Is that correct? Yeah. So, Sam, you're back. We have built your friendship game, friend. So let's hear a little bit about you, because all I remember about you is that you liked pizza and you had never heard the show, you didn't like golf, and you were a terrible.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It was a problem for the guy who called in. I mean, the guy who called in love. The show wanted a golf partner.

[Jake Johnson]

And literally the guys. One of the guys questions was, what's your favorite episode? And Sammy's like, never heard it.

[Trevor]

No, no, he did. He did give me the opportunity to do Dead air for, like, two minutes.

[Jake Johnson]

Did we kill you with that? I remember we were doing a thing where we were really killing people with dead air. Were you the guy we killed?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Trevor]

Yeah, that was me.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

[Gareth Reynolds]

But. Well, it's an. It brings up an interesting question, which is. So you hadn't listened to the show when you came on the first time, Sam. You've had quite a break in between episodes. Have you been consuming the show and.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I listened to a couple episodes.

[Jake Johnson]

Just a couple.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's a terrible reaction.

[Jake Johnson]

You're just not a terrible reaction.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're doing all this for him.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. Let me ask you a question, Sam. Let me ask you a question, Sam. What don't you like about the show?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, let's go. Come on.

[Jake Johnson]

It's okay.

[Trevor]

I love the show. You know, there's just, like, a lot of competition for people's time right now, so, like.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So you just.

[Trevor]

Hours away from finishing Panama Crystal right now, so.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, that answer makes me feel a little better, to be quite honest with you.

[Jake Johnson]

What is that?

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're going for different demos. The count of Monte Cristo.

[Jake Johnson]

And are you listening to it or reading it?

[Trevor]

Listening to it.

[Jake Johnson]

So you're. How about this? Read that and listen to this. This will never be a book.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't think he's our guy, Jake. I really don't think that he's. He's re. He wants to listen to the count.

[Jake Johnson]

Of Monte Cristo, but let's do this, Sam. So you live in Fullerton, correct?

[Trevor]

Correct.

[Jake Johnson]

You just moved there from where again?

[Trevor]

I'm from Colorado.

[Jake Johnson]

Colorado, right. What part of Colorado?

[Trevor]

I grew up in Boulder, but living in Denver.

[Jake Johnson]

So you've lived in some cool areas, man. And what do do for work, Sam?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now you're in Fullerton.

[Trevor]

I'M a. Yeah, I'm a cloud engineer for a fintech company.

[Jake Johnson]

You said clown engineer. Clown engineer.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Clown. We've built the world's greatest clown, sir.

[Jake Johnson]

So, Sam, what are you looking for in a friend?

[Trevor]

You know, someone that, like, I can go, like, bowling with or talk.

[Jake Johnson]

Do you like bowling? Or later you're going to say you don't like bowling.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I'm just getting back into bowling. I'm trying to, like, figure out how to do that. That spin bowl.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. Okay.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, you guys from the Midwest, we know the spin.

[Jake Johnson]

I can do the spin same.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We've already talked. We actually have talked about this before. All right. How to corroborate my 212. All right, so you like bowling and you're. I mean, are you looking for someone who you're. Are you married, Sam? Are you single?

[Trevor]

Yeah, I'm married.

[Jake Johnson]

He's married. No kids.

[Trevor]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Sammy, are you guys gonna have kids? Are you doing the cool choice of saying, like, we're married. We're committed to each other. No kids. What's your guys'.

[Trevor]

I think we, like, we're having a great time right now. I just don't think we want to ruin that with the kid.

[Jake Johnson]

I mean, look, that's kind of Garrett's vibe.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, so you're pretty open. You just kind of want someone in your area maybe open to bowling activities like that? Are there any no's for you when it comes to a friend? Are there any things we should be fans of?

[Jake Johnson]

We're here to help.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep. Seems like you hate those. But outside of that red flag, anything else?

[Trevor]

Mostly just, like, socially awkward people who are just really hard to connect with.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Do you like to drink?

[Trevor]

I want that. Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You like to drink. Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

Let me ask you a question, Sam, while we do this. Are you ready to do some rapid fire questions to the guests?

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, so just keep thinking in the back of your head if you got a notepad ahead of you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Just. Just put down some really simple questions in case we. We shoot it to you.

[Trevor]

All right.

[Jake Johnson]

Thanks, buddy. All right.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think we should mention your blacksmithing, because that was something all the listeners were just really interesting.

[Jake Johnson]

That's why you liked it, Natalie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. There it is.

[Jake Johnson]

You got a thing for blacksmith.

[Gareth Reynolds]

There it is. I don't know if that's accurate, but by the way you just looked up, which tells me it's pretty accurate.

[Trevor]

Same.

[Jake Johnson]

Agreed.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Is that the towel?

[Jake Johnson]

She's also doing, like, her hand on her chin.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't know if I really am into Blacksmiths?

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's what you just did. I mean, is it like something I'm into? I don't know. Did Jake plays cards. Jake knows What? You're all in. All in, baby. You got nothing.

[Jake Johnson]

I'm all in. She's bluffing. Okay, so you're a blacksmith. What does that mean? Sam, what do you do?

[Trevor]

It's like. It's a. I wouldn't say like I'm a professional blacksmith, but it's definitely a hobby of mine. I'd make like. I've made a few knives that's cool as hell.

[Jake Johnson]

And crocodile that need knives. Real knives or small knives?

[Trevor]

Like mid sized knives?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sam, I just want to warn you.

[Jake Johnson]

Now, this is a knife.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sam, we're just. I just want to warn you. Pretty soon Jake's going to start asking you about gorillas and steel gorillas. So just skirt that because we got to get to this game. So just ignore that. And you laugh, but you have no idea what I'm talking about because you don't listen to the. Okay, well, what is the best way to do this, Natalie? Should we get them in all at the same time like last time? Kind of dating game style? Yeah, I think that was fun.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Sam, do you make anything that could live outside, like a outdoor animal?

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is what I was telling you to worry. I was worried about.

[Jake Johnson]

So just what's the biggest thing you could make? No, you just make little knives. Okay, could you make a little gorilla? All right, let's bring them on. We're gonna do our victims.

[Trevor]

Let's let them in one at a.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Time so they can introduce themselves.

[Jake Johnson]

That's the littlest gorilla you could make me if I was willing to spend some money.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Let's say money's not how tiny. Could you make one?

[Jake Johnson]

Forget about money for a second, Sam. I'm talking about as many little gorillas as you could make it a year. If you work 15 hours a day.

[Trevor]

Could you make 501 inch gorillas?

[Jake Johnson]

500. All right, can we times that by 10?

[Trevor]

I'm going to need a lot. I'm gonna need some investment.

[Jake Johnson]

I'll get the capital and I'll get the workers. You run the show.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I just need a foreman on this project. That's all I'm looking for.

[Jake Johnson]

Just need someone to run it. I run the factory.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm working a lot. I need someone to run the.

[Jake Johnson]

So, Sam, would you want to eat at the bowling alley or get dinner? No way. You got to bowling alley. You want to eat at the bowling alley?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Had a friend on the show corroborated it.

[Jake Johnson]

That wasn't a friend hack. That was a 90 year old.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sam. I got a 212 once. What do you think of that?

[Trevor]

That's pretty good.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Thank you.

[Trevor]

I think that's better than I've ever had.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It tells better than G. That's wrong.

[Trevor]

I agree.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I really don't think she's a little liar. Why would I lie?

[Jake Johnson]

The wind blows. Gareth will do it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That is so untrue.

[Jake Johnson]

So you want to go bowling? You want to eat at the bowling out? Then what? You want to go to a bar after? What's the night? Because we got to kind of see if these guys are going to fit into becoming your bowling partner. Right?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I agree.

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Oh, karaoke. Okay. And what kind of songs do you like in a buddy to do? Do you like a guy who's overly sincere? Do you. Guy who's jokey? You like a guy who does a Ballard? If you were going to have like a. A Dream Best friend, what's he singing?

[Trevor]

Oh, we're. We're doing all the hits in the early 2000s. Creed Nickelback.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Nice.

[Trevor]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

I love where you're going. Are you guys doing them as duets?

[Trevor]

Yeah, possible. That's like Hips, Hips, Hips don't lie. Great duet.

[Jake Johnson]

This is great. Now, I got a question. If you had your Dre buddy in a Polaroid with you guys singing karaoke, how's he dressed?

[Trevor]

Definitely got clothes on.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, I assume so.

[Trevor]

Okay, maybe, Maybe, maybe not. Cargo shorts.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, that's all we needed.

[Gareth Reynolds]

There you go. That's.

[Jake Johnson]

No.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now you're against the 2000s vibe. One more quick question, Sam, and then we should start getting them in. You're. You have probably had a good buddy in Boulder when you were back there that you probably miss. What did you guys do for fun?

[Trevor]

Fun? We went to a dive bar and played the coin pusher machine.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, interesting.

[Jake Johnson]

So now one question. So, Sam, now I need to just talk to G for a second. I do too. So, Gareth, how do you want to run this? So we're going to have three people come in. We can't just have it be wishy washy. We got to be control freaks. Do you want to be Gil, or do you want to be Gareth?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sam, it would be good. I mean, it would probably be good for you to come up with a question that you want to ask them something a little more.

[Trevor]

I got one.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, great.

[Jake Johnson]

So first question is, who are you?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Tell us something about yourself.

[Jake Johnson]

And then second question is, what's Your dream friendship date.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Let's say you're lucky enough to actually win this competition.

[Jake Johnson]

What would you take Sam out to do?

[Gareth Reynolds]

What are you going to do?

[Jake Johnson]

We'll see if we get lucky and any of them pair up. And then third is Sam's question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Third we'll throw to Sam.

[Jake Johnson]

So now, Gareth, I'll be the Chuck Worley. The kind of grounded, straight, keeping it together.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

And you are our Gilly.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

So I'm gonna start us.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

And then I will go to you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

It's so good to see you. Tell me what it's like to be you. All right. How you doing, Gil?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Ah, pretty good over there. What's your name? Chuck. Is that what it was? Yeah, Chuck, pretty good. Excited to hook Sam up with a really good friend today. Well, this is friendship's important. Male friendship has been on the decline. And Time man are experiencing loneliness on a level they never had at time. That's not.

[Jake Johnson]

Get into that. So here we go. We've got our first friend in. Contestant number one, Trevor, Are you with us?

[Trevor]

Yes, sir.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Trevor, hi. We're excited to maybe link you up with Sam here today.

[Trevor]

We're.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Should we just bring in everyone at once, Jake, and then maybe run through it?

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor, how old? I said I was gonna take the lead.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah, okay.

[Jake Johnson]

Then you grabbed the reins.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Absolutely. Well, to be fair, Jake, you gotta remember I've been locked in the attic for a while.

[Jake Johnson]

A reason you're like, remember I said I was gonna get us started? Then I'll go to you. As soon as he came, you started talking about here, Jake.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's all coming back to me. Jake, why don't you take the lead, buddy? All right. Three, two. Back to one.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor. How you doing, sir?

[Trevor]

Oh, I'm fantastic. How are you guys?

[Jake Johnson]

Great. We're excited for you to be here. And can I ask you a little bit about yourself? Can you give us your age, your name, where you live, and a little bit about us that we don't know?

[Trevor]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. As you know, my name is Trevor. I'm 34. I live in. I live in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. I am married with no children and having a great time.

[Jake Johnson]

Eagle Rock's a wonderful place, dealing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sure is, Jake. Don't forget about the time, though.

[Jake Johnson]

You little girl.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hey, come on. We like pepper and salt together. Let's give it back.

[Jake Johnson]

What is it? Pepper and pepper.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Who likes pepper? Come on, everybody. You ever heard of pepper steak? I love a bit of pepper on it.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Trevor, do you listen to the Show. Is this your first time listening? Did your girlfriend tell you or your wife what's happening here?

[Trevor]

No, no, no. I'll be, I'll be straight with you. I, I big fan of you guys. I probably listened to a dozen or two episodes. I'm not your whole library deep just yet, but. But I know the gist. I know the lay of the land.

[Jake Johnson]

A dozen will do it. A dozen will do it. Okay, great. Let's bring on contestant number and maybe.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Listen to more after this. Trevor, we're really hooking you up and a give us video spotlight. So pay it back, go ahead.

[Trevor]

Absolutely.

[Jake Johnson]

Guess number two. Come on in.

[Trevor]

Hi.

[Jake Johnson]

Hi. Can we get your name, please?

[Trevor]

Sure. My name is Tommy Tough Knuckles.

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy Tough Knuckles.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh boy.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Gil, thoughts?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'll tell you what, Jake. I love a nickname, but this guy sounds like he either belongs in the mob or the Dick Tracy universe. I don't know if I love it or hate it, but I'll tell you something up. My nipples are out.

[Jake Johnson]

And sorry I went to your thoughts. So, Tommy Tough Knuckles, who gave you that nickname?

[Trevor]

Myself.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, Jake, I'll tell you what. This guy may as well be draped at a red flag. That is a shocking.

[Jake Johnson]

That is as red of a flag as you can get for a man.

[Gareth Reynolds]

China's flag isn't as red as what this guy just said.

[Jake Johnson]

So, Tommy Tough Knuckles, where are you from, bud?

[Trevor]

I live in Fullerton.

[Jake Johnson]

Oh, you're right. In Fullerton. Okay. And how old are you?

[Trevor]

I'm 31. Turning 32 at the end of this month.

[Jake Johnson]

I got it. You married? Single. What's your story at home?

[Trevor]

I'm in a relationship. Been in one for six years. Seven years in October.

[Jake Johnson]

What are we thinking about? Marriage. Tommy Tough Knuckles.

[Trevor]

When we get there.

[Jake Johnson]

I get it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

On that tough knuckle, Jake.

[Jake Johnson]

I get it, Tommy. Thank you so much. Tommy, we're excited to get to know you more. But let's go to contestant number three. Hello. Hello, contestant number three. Hi, can we get your name, please?

[Trevor]

Carrie.

[Jake Johnson]

Carrie K E R R Y C.

[Trevor]

A R E Y.

[Jake Johnson]

C A R E Y. What kind of name is that?

[Trevor]

I believe it's Irish.

[Jake Johnson]

Atta boy. Were you born and raised in the States or on the other side of the pond?

[Trevor]

No, I'm from California. From Los Angeles. Born and raised.

[Jake Johnson]

What part of la, Carrie?

[Trevor]

Mostly the Valley.

[Jake Johnson]

Great Oaks area.

[Trevor]

Sure.

[Jake Johnson]

Beautiful. Where are you living now?

[Trevor]

I'm in the South Bay, like Hawthorne.

[Jake Johnson]

Great. And yeah, married man. You're a single man?

[Trevor]

I'm single.

[Jake Johnson]

Cool. And about what age do you walk around at, Carrie?

[Trevor]

37.

[Jake Johnson]

37 years young. And Carrie, one thing about you that we don't know could be anything.

[Trevor]

Just one thing.

[Jake Johnson]

First thing.

[Trevor]

Yeah, sorry. I work as a, you know, a professional industrial pipe welder.

[Jake Johnson]

Cool. So does Gil.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, I used to, Jake, that I picked up a couple hours recently because the broadcasting business has been under attack. These enormous conglomerations have been kind of eliminating the old timey local. Go ahead. Absolutely.

[Trevor]

Yeah. Gil's actually pretty known in our industry, so I'm familiar with him.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, well, thank you, Gary. Well, you know, they used to call me Gilly Pipes. There's a reason. And it's not because I used to carry them. It's because I had them on my arms, jacked and loaded. Natalie, your face needs to stop doing whatever it's doing. Go ahead, Jake.

[Jake Johnson]

So we've got Trevor, we've got Tommy, Tough Knuckles, and we've got Carrie the pipeloader, Correct?

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor, you're the only guy here without a nickname. Do you want to give yourself one? We got the Pipe Loader, we got Tough Knuckles. Trevor, what can you call yourself?

[Trevor]

Let's, let's, let's just go with Trevor. Let's be different.

[Jake Johnson]

Oo. I like it. I like it. So now what we're going to do, everybody is each of you are going to get a question. Question that Gil is going to ask. I'm going to direct it to the person there. You got about, let's say 71 seconds to answer it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Very specific, Jake.

[Trevor]

Love it.

[Jake Johnson]

We are going to hear where we're at, that we're going to ask another round of questions. Then our friend, our guy, you guys are trying to win today, is Sam is going to ask a question. Then we're going to decide who goes on this friendship date. Do all three of you in real world, no joke, no podcast. Would you guys like to make a friend in Fullerton and have a buddy and go on a buddy date and see what happens? Is this is something you guys are all interested in?

[Trevor]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, great. So then why don't we start the show? Gil, go ahead.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, as we all know, today we're here vying for one man's friendship. Please welcome to the show Sam. Sam, say hi to your three lovely friend contestants here.

[Trevor]

Hey, what's going on, guys?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hey. Sam is. Sam's into hammering steel when he's working, and he also loves to live in that era in his car. That's why he's always listening to the what the Hell was that book he's listening to? Jake? Man in the Iron Mask. Who gives a. The point is he doesn't listen to the podcast. So if your friend needs to listen, we're here to help. Sam may not be for you, Sam, right? You haven't listened to any episodes?

[Trevor]

Like one or two.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What a nightmare. Okay, now we're actually going to run through what your ideal date would be with Sam. We want to find out if you had carte blanche, you could take Sam out for a night on the town. What would you do, Sam? I think the first person we should hear from is obviously the guy who came out swinging as he always does. Tommy Tough Knuckles, you are picking up Sam for a dream friend hang. What does the night look like?

[Jake Johnson]

And Tommy, you've got 71 second seconds, which will be uninterrupted.

[Trevor]

Oh, dang, that's a long time. Well, I listened to the last episode, So I know 71 seconds is a long time, so I'm gonna give a little speech. I guess you must be thinking, who's this young guy with a chip on his shoulder and his heart on his sleeve? Well, he just wants to hang out. I'm into the nerdy crafting hobbies, too. I 3D print. My girlfriend is cosplay. So we're constantly, like, building different projects, working on different crafts, and so I guess like, an ideal friendship hangout would be like, grab a couple cold ones, work on a project, whether it be something in your garage, something in my apartment, finish up a project, catch a local show. I like a lot of music. I like going to really bad comedy shows. I like just hanging around, have a couple beers, joke around. I'm like a dumb big guy. Like, I gave myself the nickname Tommy Tough Knuckles. I'm not tough. I'm just a retired old punk. The rock guy. So, yeah, I think just like working on a project together, I think that's when you really get to know somebody.

[Jake Johnson]

You got 11 seconds.

[Trevor]

11 seconds. I'm writing for today. You don't have to drive much. You don't have to listen to. You're here to help.

[Jake Johnson]

Oh, and that is actually good time. Wow. First of all, I want to say, Tommy, very good job.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Very good job. Yeah. Tommy wants you to come over to his house and do a project for free and then get drunk.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, so now we're gonna. But by the way, I got a sense of you, Tommy. You're a big dumb guy. You like watching some comedy. You like doing projects, which, I don't know, I gotta say, Pretty interesting start. You filled 71 seconds, which was a very hard time asked to do.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's a long time, but we all felt it.

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy, what are you did on a little weird update?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, you beat the show down a little bit Now, Tommy, what are you weighing in at? You talk about being a big dumb guy. What are you weighing?

[Trevor]

I'm weighing at a like 130.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, explain big when you hear the word big. What do you think you talking about next to miniature things?

[Gareth Reynolds]

You and Jake's gorilla?

[Jake Johnson]

Are you looking at my little silver overback collection? I mean, I'm a big dumb guy. I'm 4 11, a big gorilla.

[Trevor]

I can 3D print you a huge gorilla.

[Jake Johnson]

Now we're talking.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, no, no, Tommy. So you're just. You're not necessarily big, but in your head, you're large and in charge.

[Jake Johnson]

Well, he's Tommy tough. He's a big Tommy tough knuckles guy. He's not a tough guy. He's got soft knuckles and he's a little guy. He's 130 pounds.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I'm just an Italian from New Jersey. It's.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You know, the more I hear tough.

[Jake Johnson]

Knuckles, I'm liking everything about you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'll tell you what, Sam, you're not on conversation with Tommy tough knuckles, you'll be trying to peel that onion a thousand times in the evening. That could be exciting.

[Jake Johnson]

Welcome to doing a podcast with Gareth. That's what that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're moving on. No need to throw that guy under the bus. He's hell of a guy. All right, now, Trevor, Trevor, we are interested to know if you were to win this friendship date, no children. What. What the hell would you want to do?

[Jake Johnson]

And Gil, how much time should he have?

[Gareth Reynolds]

88 sec. No, I mean, honestly. Let's go 44 seconds here. It feels like there's a lot of stammering. We suck some of the air out of that.

[Jake Johnson]

So, Trevor, you got 44 seconds. Whenever you're ready. Begin.

[Trevor]

Cool. Well, we're definitely not gonna go golfing. We're actually gonna stay as far away from golf courses as we possibly can. I feel like a lot of these end up in sort of like a garage hang, which I do love, but let's go highbrow and low brow. So we start with, you know, I do carpentry myself. It sounds like you do that. You go blacksmithing. I love a free lush. I also understand if you know that requires compensation. So I don't want to sign you up for a course you're not agreeing to give, but let's build something. Sure, that's a common interest. But then after that, we get out of the garage and we go to the nicest restaurant in Fullerton. We sip on wine, we order squash blossoms at Fuoco. We do it all up here because guys love a garage. I'm drawn to them. But we can't stay there. We can't just live in a garage full time. So we get out, we do the highbrow after the low brow and then second date, you know, we'll talk about that later. Who?

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor. I'm mad after my own art.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I was gonna say Trevor, if Sam passes, I know one person who's behind the scenes of this show who wants that.

[Jake Johnson]

Far from Eagle Rock, babe. Let's get out of the garage. Garage together.

[Trevor]

You say the word, brother.

[Jake Johnson]

Now let's go to Carrie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All right.

[Jake Johnson]

And I gotta tell you, Sam, I hope you're listening, because as of now, we got two shooters here. Oh, yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We hope this is the opposite of the podcast. We're here to help. And you're listening, Sam. Now, why don't we go to our third potential friend, Carrie. You all remember Carrie from earlier. He's from the Valley originally or somewhere like that. Now he's in hawthorne. Anyway, anyway, Carrie 37, you pick Sam up. What are we doing?

[Trevor]

Yeah, so, you know, like, the other two guys, I think that we're all kind of interested in the garage hang. You know, I'm a welder and blacksmithing and woodworking. I know those were two of Sam's interests. Go pretty well together on that. I think we could definitely get into the garage and make some cool stuff with both of our skill sets. A lot of garage.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Not now, Jake.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I mean, that's what Sam was interested in. You know, you're right on the last call. I know that. Like Sam said, I mean, we're basically here because he said he didn't know anything about golf. And I was thinking about that because he said he would be down to go to the driving range or something like that. And I think that, you know, something like topgolf could be a fun way to learn. It's less about golf, more about just hanging out. Good food, good friends, drinks, not really any pressure. Even if you hit a bad shot, you're probably going to score a few new points. Definitely. Also in the, like, afternoon beer tasting at a brewery, going to shoot some pool at a dive bar, bowling, that kind of thing. Although, that being said, I'm on a little hiatus from drinking at the moment because I'm trying to get back into shape, but you know, that could be like a future hang, you know, if things go well, that type of thing.

[Jake Johnson]

Let me ask you a quick question, Gary. What are you weighing in at?

[Trevor]

I'm at about 220 right now. Like 5 11.

[Gareth Reynolds]

100 pounds heavier than the guy who called himself a big guy. Jake, I just think we should try and.

[Jake Johnson]

Gary, I get where you're at. I'm also taking a little break from not about you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jake, come on.

[Jake Johnson]

Agree. Okay, back to you guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All right, Carrie, listen, I. Sam, I don't know about you, but I feel like we've got three guys here always down to do a project in the garage, but they also want to have a friend outside of it. How you feeling so far? Sam, any thoughts initially without being too specific?

[Trevor]

Yeah. I mean these are three awesome dudes and I definitely don't want to hang out in my garage all the time either, so.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's right.

[Jake Johnson]

I would like to make a comment, Gil, if I can.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Absolutely. Jake, jump in whenever.

[Jake Johnson]

Hello. Shout out to Trevor. Tough knuckles. And Carrie, you guys really brought the heat. You did good, every single one of you. We got three great options. Nana Tech, can we do something? Can we put the three contestants in a room alone for a second where they can't hear us? We just talked to Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Love this audible. Jake, you're doing great at the line.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. Now we're going to commercial. This is behind the scenes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We'll be right back from a word from Rocket Money. Rocket Money.

[Jake Johnson]

I think they just dropped us.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, okay.

[Jake Johnson]

I don't think they.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hungry.

[Trevor]

Root Hungry.

[Jake Johnson]

Rude Hungry. They dropped those two. Go. Leading viewers. We're on our way out here. Hey, Sam. We're alone with you. Belle.

[Trevor]

Okay.

[Jake Johnson]

Are you as excited as me about these options? These guys aren't. I thought they were jokers at the beginning canon, but I feel like all three brought something interesting to the table. But it's not about what I feel. I'm not hanging out with these men. You are. What do you think?

[Trevor]

Yeah. First I was a little hesitant about Tommy Tough knuckles. But he actually seems like a really cool dude.

[Jake Johnson]

Agreed. And funny.

[Trevor]

Harry and Trevor seem really awesome. Yeah, I feel really great about all three.

[Jake Johnson]

I'm gonna be same.

[Trevor]

Kind of sucks that I can only hang out with one of them.

[Jake Johnson]

Well, let's do this right now. Where are you as of early in the game and everything, things can shift but just the audience can get in the of view of you. Where are you leaning right now? Cuz one of These men you're gonna have to literally go. One of These men you're gonna literally go out with for three hours.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not leaning any which way right now. They're all. They're all pretty awesome.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, so you're happy with your options either way?

[Jake Johnson]

Pretty good, yeah.

[Trevor]

Absolutely.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, done. Do you want to ask the next question, Sam, or do you want us to ask another one?

[Trevor]

I can ask the next one.

[Jake Johnson]

Let's get. Let's get a little bit into the Sam questions here.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jake, do you have a front runner?

[Jake Johnson]

All righty.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Is it too early to call?

[Jake Johnson]

Maybe. Carrie, how about you?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I like Carrie.

[Jake Johnson]

How about you, Nat?

[Trevor]

It's Carrie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Carrie. Oh, no.

[Jake Johnson]

We're all leading.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Scary. But again, that's just one answer. What matters is this next one. This is the same.

[Jake Johnson]

I like all of them.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, I do, too. It's just funny that we all three hang out with the losers we should.

[Trevor]

Go kick it with.

[Jake Johnson]

All right, let's go back. But, Sam, take away what you just heard about who we like, because who cares what we like? You're the one going on the date, not us. It's so good to see you. Tell me what it's like to be you. All right. And we are back with our guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All right, here we are. Look at them coming back out there. Tommy Tough Knuckles, Carrie, and Trevor.

[Jake Johnson]

So, gentlemen, we've got a really interesting part of the show right now, and that is we are going to have Sam ask each of you a question, and you guys can go back and forth a little bit on it. But so at this point, Sam, are you ready for the first question? Question?

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Gilly, who should he ask?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, we started with Tommy Tough Knuckles. We ended with Carrie. Why don't we flip the order here? Carrie, why don't we go to you first? Sam, address Carrie whenever you're ready.

[Jake Johnson]

You guys have two minutes together.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes.

[Trevor]

Hey, Carrie, when I was in high school, I smoked cigarettes with juggalos before school. What was your most awkward face? You say Juggalos?

[Gareth Reynolds]

You're damn right.

[Trevor]

That doesn't sound too awkward to me.

[Jake Johnson]

Sad. You're out just like you were on the first show.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sorry, Sam, we got icy out of this one. Carrie, you're going out with Tommy Tough Knuckles. He's tired.

[Jake Johnson]

We got three great contestants, and our star is a juggalo.

[Trevor]

I would say that my. My most awkward phase was probably right before I went into high school. I was, you know, the kid that thought it would be fun, have pink braces. And I was wearing, I think it was a store. I think it was like oz, where they have like, you know, shirts that are supposed to be like, funny, like, you know, with a smiley face and that type of stuff. And so that's basically all I wore. I didn't have any fashion sense and I got made fun of by a girl and that actually changed my life. So, yeah, I'm gonna go with that one. That phase. Yeah, it's pretty relatable.

[Jake Johnson]

Pretty good stuff. Quick question that I could throw on top of it. How did it change your life? Carrie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What did she say too?

[Trevor]

I think I just got. Became more fashionable and started getting more attention from women. And yeah, change. That was a pretty good change.

[Jake Johnson]

I love it. Sammy. Next question to Trevor.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We should go to Trevor in the middle again. The meat in the dating game sandwich. Sam, address Trevor whenever.

[Trevor]

Trevor, how have you challenged yourself? Late. How do I challenge myself? Good question. I made a big jump in my career, so that was putting myself out there. That that's what immediately comes to mind. And that requires, you know, not signing off at 5pm and there's some growing pains there. We also bought a house this year, which is terrifying. So we're, you know, stretching ourselves pretty thinly days.

[Jake Johnson]

Is that something you can relate to, Sam?

[Trevor]

Yeah, I bought a. I bought a house. So we ended up selling it pretty quick. But when we moved back to California.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Trevor, you ever wear clown makeup and smoke Parliament lights?

[Trevor]

Parliament?

[Jake Johnson]

You have an everyday smoker? The worst.

[Trevor]

I was a Juggalo, by the way.

[Jake Johnson]

Wait, hold on, Trevor. Oh, Sam, you were not a Juggalo. You hung out with him. Trevor, when you said you took a career jump, what does that mean?

[Trevor]

Just sort of like making a leap into a director role and like actually having to, you know, care about stuff and not just getting jobs over the line.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hey, hey, Trevor, let me jump in here. What do you directed? Any TV stuff? Any sort of broadcast stuff? What do you direct, Gareth, for Sam. Go ahead, Trevor. Sorry about Jakey.

[Trevor]

Stepped throughout an agency. So we, you know, we. Commercials and. And websites for.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, what are you making commercials for? Any pro? As Trevor started to jump in. What do you make a commercial for?

[Trevor]

Right now I'm doing a lot of rodeo work for Ford.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Ford. I'll tell you for Ford. Trucks are built Ford Tu.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, is there another podcast I can do about it?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hold on, hold on. Ford trucks are built for tough. You get four tires on that thing. All you need is a dream, a mountain and a bunch of rocks.

[Jake Johnson]

All right, so Trevor you are taking a career, job, jump. You're making a leap. You guys bought a house. Things are going good for you. Carrie, you also had an awkward stage. It changed you when you got teased by a girl. Sam, do you have a question for tough knuckles?

[Trevor]

I don't have a third question. I need help.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Long time.

[Jake Johnson]

It could also. But, Sammy, could also be a repeat question. We did not realize you had to do three. You're allowed to do similar questions. Question.

[Trevor]

I like the most awkward phase. Question.

[Jake Johnson]

I did, too. I was hoping you're going there.

[Trevor]

Well, I think my most awkward phase was in high school. I was a big metal head. I got into, like, really screen metal. Like slam, grind, core, all that fun stuff. And I was driving around in a PT Cruiser in the. With the windows down in suburban New Jersey, black, all kinds of music, smoking, American spirit, turquoise.

[Jake Johnson]

But yeah, dude, yeah, I still kind.

[Trevor]

Of do have long hair. It was weird, man.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, dude. Yeah. Sam, did you ever have long hair?

[Trevor]

Yeah, I did.

[Jake Johnson]

How long, Sammy?

[Trevor]

I was. It was past my shoulders and I was the back ass.

[Jake Johnson]

Heck, yeah.

[Trevor]

Hey, ponytail. Say what? Did you rock a ponytail? No, I never did the ponytail.

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy, did you rock a pony? Tommy, did you have a pony?

[Trevor]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Trevor, did you ever have long hair?

[Trevor]

Yeah, I did. I did. I did the hardcore scene. Had the long hair. Put a straightener to it on a time or two.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, boy. Oh, dear.

[Jake Johnson]

Did you ever have a ratchet pony? You ever have a rat's tail?

[Trevor]

It never went pony. Never went pony.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Tommy's really bringing the questions on the side, by the way.

[Jake Johnson]

I love them. Carrie, did you ever have long hair?

[Trevor]

I did back when I was like, 27 and I never rocked a pony. But I'd wear like the. The up. Like the updo, top knot, man bun type of thing. You know, you might take over my most awkward stage.

[Jake Johnson]

You know, I just realized something about our potential male audience. I want to do a survey.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, no, I don't think you want to know that, Jake.

[Jake Johnson]

I really don't think you ever had long hair.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I have had long hair. I posted shoulder length, never a man bun. Yeah, I had long hair, but mullet. As we've proven in multiple pictures.

[Jake Johnson]

But in your post 18 stage, did you ever have long hair?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, not long.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, okay.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No.

[Trevor]

No.

[Jake Johnson]

Hilarious.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, but our three guy.

[Trevor]

I.

[Jake Johnson]

Me too. I had hair past the shoulders at a certain point, and I rocked.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Was that when you were a playwright? Please say yes.

[Jake Johnson]

No, it was before then. It was when I was in overalls. No shirt underneath. Doing Habitat for Humanity. Building houses. No shoes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

My God. Oh, my God. So Jake was part of Soul Asylum.

[Jake Johnson]

I went to Grateful Dead and I saw Jerry Garcia live before he passed. Rip.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, boy. Did you wear a shirt that night, Jake?

[Jake Johnson]

No. And I smoked pot with 50 year olds. Sorry about me. Trevor, Tommy, Carrie, can we have a minute without you guys? And again, you guys are all crushing it. Just a moment with Sam before we get to the end of this, because we are in our final moments, but I want to say all three contestants, a home runs. Well done. Thank you, gentlemen.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sam.

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

You're in a pickle here, babe.

[Gareth Reynolds]

For real.

[Jake Johnson]

You are in a death.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Are you.

[Jake Johnson]

Are.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Are you feeling like you have a favorite at this point? Are you still open for business?

[Trevor]

I'm still pretty open for business. These guys are all really cool. I kind of like that they all had like a hardcore phase.

[Jake Johnson]

Same. I'll tell you what we're not gonna do. For no other reason besides to make this hard on you and potentially a stomachache for our more sensitive viewers, we're not gonna go. Everybody wins. No, we are gonna pick one. We're gonna have two losers. And I'll tell you why. Because life sucks, man.

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

Even though this feels like such an easy. This is a group.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. It feels like they all go out together. That's the. That's the Disney version.

[Jake Johnson]

But this ain't Disney.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're 8. 24 now. We're.

[Jake Johnson]

We're here to help.

[Trevor]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now I have a question. Have any of us changed our leader based on the last round? Yes, we had Carrie, Nat. Mr. Tommy Tough Knuckles is your leader now do.

[Jake Johnson]

That's where I was leaning. Gareth. You.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm. I'm really into carry. Tommy Tough Knuckles. Tommy won the last round. In my opinion.

[Jake Johnson]

I. I'm leaning Trevor.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Interesting hunting. Why?

[Jake Johnson]

Ah, he's growing up a little bit, but he was also a weirdo. He's into carpentry. Sam just bought a house. Sam. They're both in a really early state. I like Tommy Tough Knuckles a lot, but I think he'd be a lot.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, you're probably right. You're right.

[Jake Johnson]

And I. And I think.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Are you looking for a new best friend or just someone easy to hang out with in Fullerton that is available?

[Jake Johnson]

Sam, what are you looking for here, babe?

[Trevor]

I would like to find someone to hang out like once. Once. Once a week or so.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, that's a solid friend.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, that's a solid friend.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay. So, Sam, wait. I got a question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What about how do you feel? About how important to you Is it that the person's, like, in Fullerton?

[Jake Johnson]

Because. Great question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Trevor's in. In la, which is, you know, they're.

[Jake Johnson]

Close, but what is that, like, hour?

[Trevor]

I don't know. How far. What part of LA is Eagle rocking?

[Jake Johnson]

Eagle Rocks on the east side.

[Trevor]

East side? I don't know. So I'm kind of east, but I don't know if that'd be that far.

[Jake Johnson]

But would you be willing to do a hang?

[Trevor]

I can. I can definitely do a drive.

[Jake Johnson]

Would you drive to LA for a Thursday night hang?

[Trevor]

Yeah, definitely.

[Jake Johnson]

Great. Okay, so therefore. Bad question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Good question. He wants to hang out once a week. I'm not going to drive an hour once a week to. To your friend. We know.

[Jake Johnson]

You're not going to drive one minute to do anything.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm going to have a bad attitude.

[Jake Johnson]

I'm mad at everybody. No, Natalie also said he'd come to.

[Trevor]

Fullerton, so we're going to the best restaurant.

[Jake Johnson]

I'm not even doing that. I'm not even going to keep my video on. Okay, Natalie, we get it. We all live in Natalie's world.

[Trevor]

We're just for this episode.

[Jake Johnson]

I appreciate it. Just teasing for no reason. Jesse, good question. I don't want to be the mean one. Not a good question, though. Very clearly. Bad question. All right, where were we? So, Sam, what do we want to do?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, do we want to do one more very quick one? Maybe I have a quick one we could maybe do.

[Jake Johnson]

All right, let's go to G's. Question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I. Do you want me do it now?

[Jake Johnson]

Well, when they come back on.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Okay, let's do it. All right. I got a good one.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay.

[Trevor]

It's good to see you.

[Jake Johnson]

All right, Trevor. Tommy, Carrie, are you back? Back?

[Trevor]

Yes, sir.

[Jake Johnson]

I'm here again. I want to say all of us are excited about all three of you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We don't know which way Sam's leaning, but we're all falling in love.

[Jake Johnson]

Gareth, what's a question? And who are you asking?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, Gil is the name, and the question will be going. Why don't we start this time with Trevor? Trevor's never gone first. This is just a quick one here, but Trevor, let's say you're walking down the street one day, you find a golden lamp. You give the side a rub and a genie pops out. You get one wish. What is it actually?

[Jake Johnson]

Good question. Good question, G. Better than Jesse's.

[Trevor]

It's. It's really easy to go. More noble than anyone actually would. And Say end world hunger. Yes, but I think we say end world hunger. I just want to, you know, take note that that, that could be an eye roll, but I stand by it.

[Jake Johnson]

And so what would that genie do? Create food everywhere. Would you end world hunger in terms of how would you just everybody's stomach.

[Trevor]

You know, you might. I think he'd multiply fish and. And hand them out.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. I'll tell you, Jake, when you ask that, when you ask that follow up, I didn't know where you were going.

[Jake Johnson]

But holy God, because when the genie goes, give me sp specifics, you just happen to multiply fish and hand them out. Trevor, you had one wish to a genie. Now we have billions of fish being handed out.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's a lot of fish. Wow, Trevor, definitely changing delivery.

[Trevor]

We didn't talk about delivery mechanism.

[Jake Johnson]

Trev it the. You said multiply and hand them out. We are on a globe that smells like fish. Imagine in like very hot, humid areas, deserts, hungry people with these baking fish.

[Gareth Reynolds]

They go.

[Jake Johnson]

They've never seen fish. They don't know how fish that we.

[Trevor]

Need to have a feeding mechanism. The first thing that pops into my mind about feeding the masses is biblical. And that looked a lot like multiplying fish. So that's what popped into my head. I'd probably have a better chance if I wasn't on the time limit here.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, no time limit. Go again.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, different take.

[Jake Johnson]

How are you gonna feed it right now? So go.

[Trevor]

Yeah. In. In working with a genie, I think that every single person would have the meal of their choosing miraculously appear in their dining quarters every day.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Way better answer, Jake. It'd be especially fun, but it's hard to. It's hard to not beat fish multiplier.

[Jake Johnson]

Why don't we move on, Trevor? Moving on.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We got a good sense of Trevor. Why don't we go to Carrie? Carrie, we're going to ask you the same question. Tommy, don't get comfortable because we might be changing it up for you. But Carrie, you kick a lamp, you ro the side, a genie pops out, gives you one wish. What are you gonna do? And don't say fish wish.

[Trevor]

Are we assuming that the genie is like, has the rules where you can't wish for more wishes?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes, good Lord, of course.

[Trevor]

Okay, so I'm gonna go actually, same answer. Ending world hunger. However, I think my method of doing it is going to be a little bit different. I'm gonna go the kazam route where junk food rains from the sky.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okie dokie, cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Ing it.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. So Carrie, your thing would be be junk food just falls everywhere. Litter rats just you got you guys a team.

[Trevor]

Like the 90s classic Shazam, right? Or Kazam. Sorry.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We all know, you know, he makes it rain.

[Trevor]

And I think that's probably the best way to do it.

[Jake Johnson]

So just imagine a Snickers bar falling from a cloud and hitting a baby's forehead before it is fully formed. Death, destruction.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It really could be pretty bad if you think about it.

[Jake Johnson]

Care how fat.

[Trevor]

That's not where my my mind went. But you know, I guess in that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Plan in the documentary Shazam. But I will say, Jake, can I just ask you right off the bat.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Fish multiplier or junk food rain? Which one are you going to lean towards?

[Jake Johnson]

None.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okie dokie. Now let's go to Tommy. Tough knuckles. TTK here bringing up the end. As much as I'd like to hear what your dream answer would be for the wish, Jake, we can stick with that.

[Jake Johnson]

Because part of it I want to hear with the knuckles.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Tommy, you rub the lamp, a blue genie pops out. One wish. What are you going to do? Go with buddy.

[Trevor]

Well, I got my wish. I'm hanging out with, you know, Brian, security guard and Nick from New Girl. Hanging out with my new best friend. You know, this is my wish.

[Jake Johnson]

Wow.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay. Very pandering.

[Jake Johnson]

But flattery goes a long way. We got a fish multiplier and a guy having a candy bar falling on my head. This other guy's giving us a little bit of a back rub and boy, does it feel good. Tommy, if you could ice cold beer.

[Trevor]

Honestly, I don't need anything.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm good.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay, so now question to you, Sam, you're walking down the street, you kick the thing, the genie comes out. What do you wish for?

[Trevor]

I'm kind of closer to Tommy. I have a lot of what I want right now. Maybe I mean like I don't want to just be too pandering and just say new friends.

[Jake Johnson]

And so for the final part of this show, we are going to get give each contestant wait really fast. Trevor, karaoke song.

[Trevor]

Oh God. I think you have to go the killers. Anything in the killers category?

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy, Same question.

[Gareth Reynolds]

God help us.

[Trevor]

I got a bas boosted huba stank.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, good God.

[Jake Johnson]

Can you give us a taste of it?

[Trevor]

No, I cannot.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You have to come and find out.

[Jake Johnson]

Respect Carrie your fit, your karaoke song.

[Trevor]

Gotta go with the midnight train.

[Jake Johnson]

Midnight train. Now, in closing, each of you are going to have your final statement. What makes you the choice for Sam? Carrie, you're first. What makes you the choice? Why should he pick you? Walk us through you that night. Your reasoning for it being you. Anything you want to say? The floor is yours. What's your hot take on why it should be be you?

[Trevor]

Yeah, so I know Sam said he's a, you know, a big hobbyist and I'm the same way right now I'm really into, you know, rock climbing, hiking, camping. I like tabletop games. I make Super Mario World ROM hacks which are basically just like retro fan games from the 90s. Cool. I don't take myself too seriously. Like on my left forearm I have my friends cats names tattooed and you know, just so you know, Gareth, there's room for your cats to join the crew.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Love to be a part of it.

[Trevor]

I feel like, you know, Sam and I have similar interests and we'd get along and he seems like the kind of guy that like is down to try new things and you know, just because it's more about hanging out with, you know, your buddy than what the actual thing is and I kind of like that. I really want to do some blacksmithing so that, that would be fun. And I watched Garris video on the ren fair and with the blacksmith and a welder together, I think we could totally make like some badass suits of armor. Some medieval weap happens and honestly we just crush it.

[Jake Johnson]

I mean, pretty good answer, Carrie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I like that they're nights together. I love that.

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy, same enclosing statement for you, good sir?

[Trevor]

Sure. I'm always down for a fun time, bad time, whatever kind of time. I love working on different projects. I'd love to like learn how to blacksmith and I, you know, show you how to like 3D print and we could craft together. I would love to bring out like a swords like a renaissance festival with you or I hit up a local coffee shop, local music show and yeah, I just think it'd be a fun time. And even if we aren't best friends by the end of this, I would still, you know, hang out.

[Jake Johnson]

I like it. Tough knuckles. Trevor, in closing.

[Trevor]

Yeah, this is sort of putting all my chips in the middle of the table here. Big reveal here is Gabriel, who initially hurt Sam is my brother in law. Wanted to share that sooner. Didn't have the opportunity. And I was so appalled with the way that my brother in law treated you. And when I listened to you talk to him I was like, I want this guy to be my friend and I want to distance myself from my brother in law and I want to make Penance from our family to yours. This wonderful man Sam called in to befriend my brother in law and my brother in law just dumped on him. What did he say? I think he said, definitely not Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Don't take him back to Vietnam. Trevor, come on, we're out of the country.

[Trevor]

I was so mad for Sam and I was like, this guy does all the things I do. He just wants to hang. He's in a new town. I would love to be that guy for you. We got so much in common. We've talked about, you know, we're gonna have beers, we're gonna make stuff. Sure. But I just think we, we got a bond here, Sam.

[Jake Johnson]

Jesus. This is a good answer. All three of you guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wow.

[Jake Johnson]

Jesus Christ. Trevor. At first I thought when you started I was like, wow, this is what it looks like to watch a man bury himself. But boy was I wrong. I thought you were burying yourself. Went potentially your enemies here. So let's take a moment now or let's not. Sam, eliminate one of the people 1, 2 or 3.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And say something nice about him before you do it.

[Jake Johnson]

Say you don't have to say anything mean because I'll tell you what, 1, 2 and 3, these are all freaking winners. There is not a loser here. But you can only go on a date with one of them. So we're going to have to eliminate number one, Trevor. Number two, Tommy Tough knuckles are number three, Carrie, which one of these? And we all know Sam. And guys, he's insane behind your backs. He would like to hang out with all of you but because this is an arbitrary game with rules, one of you has to be eliminated right now. Sam, who's being eliminated? Tommy, Carrie or Trevor?

[Trevor]

I really want to say that all three dudes are so freaking cool and I wish I could be friends with all three of them but that's not the game. And, and yeah, I just. Every single one of them has great ideas for what to do. Like they all vibe with me in a lot of ways. Would have really liked to have gone to a coffee shop. But I think I'm gonna eliminate Tommy.

[Jake Johnson]

Tommy.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Tommy. Everybody's heartbroken listening Tommy to fan favorite Tommy Tough Knuckles.

[Jake Johnson]

There is one person in Greenland CR right now. Tommy Tough Knuckles. It's not your day, but you have won the hearts and minds of our audience. What do you want to say before we go? This is the moment of the Dating game where we bring you out and Sam realizes how godamn good looking you are. Cuz holy cow. We unreveal the curtain. And you are a great looking guy, Tommy Tough knuckles. So what do you want to say? What did he miss out on? Give us a good by.

[Trevor]

Well, thank you guys for the opportunity. Thank you, Sam, for the opportunity to be your, you know, new best friend. It's been real. I don't think you really missed out on much. Oh, I'm just a dude who likes crafting. All my friends are like, younger, so I was looking for more older friends. Yeah, no, have fun. Good luck. If it doesn't work out, one of the other dudes, you know, hit me up. I'm writing for them. I don't know if we're gonna send you my contact, but.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, not the game.

[Jake Johnson]

We are gonna. Here's what we're also gonna do. We are gonna send it to Sam too, because I guarantee Sam also wants to hang out. But what we're gonna do is keep.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The stakes in the game. Sticks of the game.

[Jake Johnson]

You're an absolute winner. Thank you for calling in Tommy.

[Trevor]

Thank you, guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Thank you, Tommy. Tough knuckles. Graceful and defeat.

[Jake Johnson]

So now, Trevor and Carrie, it's down to two, and we're gonna need you guys to go in a separate room now for a second so we can talk behind the scenes. Holy cow.

[Trevor]

Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

How you feeling, Sam? Yeah, it's tough.

[Trevor]

It's tough. Yeah. I feel awful about having to looney these people. So cool.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, so do we. But that's the game. There's arbitrary rules.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think the way we do this, Jake, is let's have him say the winner and hear why he didn't pick the other one one after. I think that's the way they would do it, right, Nat or no?

[Jake Johnson]

No. Once there's the winner, you get to celebration mode.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Trevor]

All right. Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We gotta eliminate and then you.

[Jake Johnson]

And then you do the. Why this person? So, I mean, Tommy Tough knuckles is such a goddamn winner. I got a feeling if we around, he might be our guy.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I mean, we have a bachelor, first person eliminated.

[Jake Johnson]

So that's the bachelor. Yeah. Like, as producers, you're like, we got the.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We got to do one more. So, Sam, this is an insane spin off.

[Jake Johnson]

Sam, what are you thinking Between Trevor. Carrie, where's your heart at here, babe?

[Trevor]

I also want to say the thing with gay grill is that didn't bother me at all. I totally understood, and I didn't feel like it was mean or I didn't get dumped on or anything like that, so. But that being said, I'm kind of leaning towards Trevor. I think we're just Like, I just really like his vibe. He's in a pretty similar situation as me. He's a little older or I guess car's 37. But, yeah, I think he's on my level as far as his hobbies and stuff. I think Carrie is actually probably better at, you know, all the. There's lots of stuff I could learn from him. But, yeah, I think I'm just towards Trevor.

[Jake Johnson]

Interesting. Natalie, where are you leaning towards?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I mean, for this. For the story of it all? Trevor.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah. But how about for your heart?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Carrie.

[Jake Johnson]

Gareth.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Carrie. The brother in law thing, to me is a bit strange.

[Jake Johnson]

Sherlock, where are you? Yeah, where are you at here, babe? Pop back.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm leading to Carrie.

[Jake Johnson]

Yeah, I, too, am leaning Carrie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Interesting. All right, don't say anything, Sam. Just. That's our. That's where our heads are at.

[Jake Johnson]

But it is not our date. It is yours.

[Trevor]

Made a final decision.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, Sammy. Sammy. When we get to it, the final decision is not till words come out of your goddamn mouth here, King. This is behind the scenes. Hey, Gareth. I mean, Gail, will you take us back to the show?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Absolutely.

[Jake Johnson]

Bring our. Our boat boys back.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The final round. 22 weeks of waiting comes down to this.

[Jake Johnson]

I just wish the public could vote.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The public can't. Can't vote, Jake. We don't have that technology. We probably never will. All right, and welcome back. Here we are on the Friendship Game. Sam, you came in looking for a friend. I think you met three possible soulmates. We just lost fan favorite Tommy Tough Knuckles. Called himself a big guy. He's about regular size, if anything, a little small. But you eliminated him, and now you're down to Carrie and Trevor. And we just talked backstage. Nobody's sure where this is going, not even Sam. Trevor, Carrie, we just want to say, no matter who wins or who's eliminated, you're both great guys and a great friend. But, Sam, it all comes down to you.

[Trevor]

And we'll.

[Jake Johnson]

Before we go to.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Before we go to Sam.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor. Trevor, do you have one last statement.

[Gareth Reynolds]

One last pitch for Church, one last.

[Jake Johnson]

Pitch of what that evening of friendship would be like? Go.

[Trevor]

You know, I already described the itinerary, so I think it has to come down to feeling, and I think that feeling would be sincere.

[Jake Johnson]

Carrie, same question.

[Trevor]

I would say that I'm in general, pretty spontaneous, and I. I kind of just go with the flow. Oftentimes I'll be hanging out with people, and then we end up somewhere completely crazy. So I think just depending on how the night goes and what we're feeling we could end up doing potentially anything.

[Jake Johnson]

Carrie, with that in mind, how does a night like this sound to you? Bowling, karaoke, no cargo shorts.

[Trevor]

Oh, no cargo shorts. That sounds good to me.

[Jake Johnson]

Okay. Why did you pause on this cargo short?

[Trevor]

What about cargo pan pants?

[Jake Johnson]

Sam? What about cargo pants?

[Trevor]

Yeah, those could work.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's like if khakis became a purse.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor? Yeah? How does a night of bowling, karaoke, no cargo shorts sound to you?

[Trevor]

Sounds perfect.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Do you have cargo shorts, Trevor?

[Trevor]

I don't. I don't own them. No, I don't.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor, what's your high score in bowling?

[Trevor]

I think I've done like 150, but that was a really good day.

[Jake Johnson]

Carrie, what's your high score in bowling?

[Trevor]

It's probably about a 170, but there's nowhere. No way I'm shooting near that these days.

[Jake Johnson]

Respect. Hey, Sam, who are you going to choose?

[Trevor]

News.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Don't be afraid to contextualize why they're both great, Sam, and what you like about both of them, but you can only pick one.

[Trevor]

Don't be afraid. So obviously they're both great. I feel like.

[Jake Johnson]

Go ahead, Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Don't be afraid to listen to the show.

[Trevor]

Go ahead. I. I really. This is a really tough decision. I really like both these dudes.

[Jake Johnson]

Both winners.

[Trevor]

Both winners. I would definitely hang out with both of them. I wish it could be all of.

[Jake Johnson]

Us, Tommy included and Sammy. There might be a way we do that. We might be a way we do that. But for right now, the arbitrary rules.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Consider the stakes. Consider the no way we do that. This means everything. Keep listening, everybody. This is it. It's all come down to this. There will not be a groupie named Sam. One goes away forever and one's your new bff. Ff. Who is it?

[Trevor]

So the. Oh, man, this is so hard. I'm gonna go with Trevor.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Trevor. In the winter, it's such a hard.

[Trevor]

Decision and really, really the only reason anyone. It's, like impossible to tell how much. How. How well it would go in the long run, but Trevor just seemed. Yeah, I don't even know. They both seem super cool and chill, and I definitely would hang out with both of them, but. Yeah, I just think he's. I think I'm getting a slightly better vibe from Trevor, even though the Gabriel was over car.

[Jake Johnson]

You did such a good job. I hope you listen to the show and hear the behind the scenes because you were a favorite behind the scenes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Getting a lot of votes from people we won't name.

[Jake Johnson]

In closing, Carrie, any final statement from you Good sir. While the audience is shocked.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I mean, this is just a lot of fun. Thanks for having me. I love the show. I've actually seen all the episodes, so.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, come on. You wouldn't get along with Sam anyway. Yeah, you'd have nothing to talk about. Sam listen to two episodes, he's listening to a book. It's kind of weird. Nobody gets it. Go ahead.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I mean, I think it was pretty cool that you guys did this for Sam, because I definitely felt that, you know, he's a cool dude and he got shafted, and so, like, it's. It was cool that he got to come back on and, you know, meet some people with shared interests and, you know, made a friend that's more local to him and that kind of thing. So, you know, I think those two dudes will have a good time and. Yeah, that's basically it.

[Jake Johnson]

And let's be honest. You seem like such a good guy, cool guy, and Sam really is torn. So we're probably gonna connect you guys via email.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Probably not. There could be only one. Carrie, this is the end of the road for you.

[Jake Johnson]

These guys seem like such good friends.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jake is falling real hard for three guys today.

[Jake Johnson]

All four of these are sweet guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Carrie, you did a great job. You gave great pitches. You seem genuine. I'm sure there's a guy out there for you somewhere, but unfortunately, it's not going to be Sammy boy. So, Carrie, we're going to ask you to hang, and, God, we're going to miss the hell out of you, buddy. You've really done a good job.

[Trevor]

All right, guys, thanks a lot. Have a good one.

[Jake Johnson]

Thank you, Carrie. You're the best.

[Trevor]

Larry. Carrie, thank you.

[Jake Johnson]

And now our winner, Mr. Trevor. How you feeling here, babe?

[Trevor]

I feel lighter than it right now, guys. I feel so good.

[Jake Johnson]

And so for your guys's first hang, we have the idea of potentially bowling and karaoke, but what do you guys think? And anything on the spot. Do either of you want to drive the train? It's July 10th right now. When is this first hang going to be?

[Trevor]

I'm out of town next week and this week, so it had to get to that. But, yeah, end of July. Yeah, end of July is perfect.

[Jake Johnson]

Trevor, you good for end of July?

[Trevor]

Yeah. This is a patient friendship. We make it work. When to comes it. It happens.

[Jake Johnson]

And do you guys want the first hang to be the Fullerton area? The Eagle Rock area? Either you care. Sam said he doesn't care about driving. He didn't care about driving.

[Trevor]

I can be in Fullerton. We can. We can make that work. I think. I think you know, Sam's. Sam's who we're all trying to charm here. So we go to Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well played, Trevor, you sexy beast. Good lord.

[Trevor]

Well, although big, big note, is. Is. Is karaoke in K town is going to be better than anything anywhere else.

[Jake Johnson]

As well as there's unbelievable bowling alleys in the Highland park area.

[Trevor]

Yep, yep. Live there for a decade.

[Jake Johnson]

I kind of feel like an LA night with the karaoke and the bowling. Who's to say I'm not part of this?

[Gareth Reynolds]

What we need to say pitching LA so he can join Jake is. Jake is actually pitching down the street from him, so don't fall prey to that.

[Jake Johnson]

Anybody interested in gorillas?

[Gareth Reynolds]

And by the way, Tommy, tough knuckles. Carrie will also be there. Jake's gonna accidentally show up to the Applebee's where you guys are eating.

[Trevor]

I'll make everyone one inch gorillas.

[Jake Johnson]

Sam, in closing, you called into this show a little bit ago looking to make a friend. Can you sum up this process to you now, knowing you and Trevor are gonna have a bowling and karaoke night? Sam, sir, where are you at, friend?

[Trevor]

It was a. It was a wild ride. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little chaotic. I originally just emailed in just to see if I can get a random friend. Hang in. I did not expect to get my own dating game at all. It was really cool hanging out with everybody and talking about you guys. Yeah, a little wispy.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, Jake, we're pulling heartstrings here. And Jake, I think we would be remiss to not ask the final question to Sam before Trevor and Sam go off into the sunset together. Sam, you've been on a wild ride. This show did it all for you. Natalie and Sherlock here produced the hell out of this. What are the odds you start listening to the show, the podcast that has done all this for you? It seems like it would just be really, really unfair. Totally messed up to not start checking out the episode. Sam, where are you at with that?

[Trevor]

100%. I keep meaning to listen to more episodes. Well, that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That doesn't count as a download, but go ahead. Sorry, sorry. Go ahead, Sam. And intention doesn't count as a download. Go ahead. You were saying?

[Jake Johnson]

We're happy to sponsor because a lot of people wanted to.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, cool. There's a potential future download. Go ahead. Sam, you were saying? Didn't mean to cut you off there, buddy.

[Trevor]

No, I'm going to be open anymore. So let me ask you this, Sam.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Not to cut you off. Are you subscribed to the show? That's. That helps everything.

[Trevor]

Yes. Yes, I am.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, good. All right. Just send a screenshot of that end of the show.

[Trevor]

Too much.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah, agree. Too much. All right, Sandy? Absolutely. We had such a good ride and then it just got ruined at the end. I don't know what happened.

[Trevor]

What else can I do for you, G?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, you're just. Listen, it's not Gareth, it's Gil. I'm the little spicy G. Sam. Yeah, Just start listening to the show. No problem. We closing. Go ahead, Jake.

[Jake Johnson]

Now, Natalie, what have you learned? Take us out.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You know, I have. I have higher hopes for the male loneliness epidemic after listening to this episode.

[Jake Johnson]

That's a nice ending, everybody. Thank you for listening. This episode of We're Here to Help is brought to you by Squarespace.

[Trevor]

Hey, what's good, guys? Nice to hear from you.

[Jake Johnson]

Great to hear from you too. Can you remind our audience a little bit about who you are? We know it's the dating game. We know we're going to get an update, but give us a little backstory where you were in the game, all that good stuff.

[Trevor]

Yeah, no worries. I was the dating participants that actually golf. That's one of them. We. I live in Yorba Linda and me and Gabe both have kids and wanted to get together.

[Jake Johnson]

So, Herschel, tell us about the date. How did it go?

[Trevor]

Hey, it's good. You know, we texted for a little bit. You know, he's planning a little bit coy. And then we found a time to meet up. I was a little bit nervous, you know, as he would be, of course. But Gabe was a good guy, man. He's a really nice dude. He. We had a lot of fun, super relaxed. He's a big family wife guy, which I thought was really awesome. And overall, we just had like a really cool, fun, like, relaxed afternoon. I mean, I think it was one of the most fun I had meeting somebody new and making an adult friend and a pretty. Pretty unique set of circumstances.

[Jake Johnson]

No way. So it was positive.

[Trevor]

Yeah, super positive.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Look at you too.

[Jake Johnson]

That is an amazing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wow, this is great.

[Jake Johnson]

Which one are you? Are you glasses or no glasses?

[Trevor]

Oh, you got a picture. I'm no glasses.

[Jake Johnson]

You're no glasses. Okay, smile. So you guys went out. You had a blue last.

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

And then how about after that?

[Trevor]

Yeah, it's good. We've been texting. We're talking about doing another round. We're talking about doing a play date with kind our families. Both our kids are about the same age, so I was actually gonna. I was gonna wait till he came on. We're having a. A barbecue this weekend. I was gonna ask Gabe if you wanted to come by and meet some of my other buddies and some other dudes because I know he's trying to.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Make is here now.

[Jake Johnson]

Wait, Gabe. Gabe, Gabe, wait.

[Gareth Reynolds]

He's here now. Gabe, babe.

[Jake Johnson]

Gabe, you're on with Herschel and the in the group.

[Trevor]

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[Jake Johnson]

Good. We heard the hang went great.

[Trevor]

Yeah, it did.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, we saw a picture. You Were beaming.

[Trevor]

Yes, it was a good pic.

[Jake Johnson]

Herschel's got something he wants to ask.

[Trevor]

Hey, Gabe. Hey man. Like this this weekend I'm having a barbecue. I'm gonna have some of my other buddies there some other that also golf. I learned a few and your family wanted to join. I'm making a brisket for the first time. I'm a little nervous and you know, having a. Having a friend there I think would be really helpful. Nice. What is it? It's going to be Saturday, 4pm I can text you the details after this. You know what? I should be able to make that. I got a double check, but yeah, that sounds. That sounds really fun, man. Yeah, man, I think it'd be awesome. So, you know, I'm really, I'm really glad. I'm really glad that you went forward with me. I know Sam was probably pretty tempting, but.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All worked out for old Sammy boy. Don't worry about that. And Gabe, if you do end up making it to this barbecue, I don't think you want to bring any family or anything like that with you. Even if it's family by marriage or something like. Like that. Just.

[Jake Johnson]

What are you talking about?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Just. No, nothing. Just.

[Jake Johnson]

No, like are you talking about.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, no, nothing. Just. Yeah, just don't. I just think go, go by yourself. Have a good hang with Hersel. I think that's going to be great. I don't think there's any need to bring any family or anything like that.

[Jake Johnson]

What are you talking about?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Nothing. Just.

[Jake Johnson]

I mean it, Gary. That's the weirdest take. Herschel's inviting his wife and kids.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, no, that's great. Bring them for sure.

[Trevor]

Show.

[Jake Johnson]

What am I missing here? Natalie, do you know what he's talking about? Yeah, what?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Don't bring your brother in law. Yeah.

[Jake Johnson]

I forgot about that.

[Trevor]

That's funny.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, it is funny. Yeah. Well that's great. Do you. Do you guys. Are you guys texting at all? Like outside of the hang? Have you been texting a lot or has it kind of just been. You had a good hang, you said you'd hang again and now we're picking it up now.

[Trevor]

Yeah, we were trying to schedule something else like for another golf. Yeah, another golf round.

[Gareth Reynolds]

But has anyone. Has anyone sent anyone like a funny video or a meme? Like how texty are we being?

[Trevor]

No, I would say no.

[Jake Johnson]

Gareth, let's get out of here. We got a huge win. They're having a little bar.

[Gareth Reynolds]

How dare you, Mr. In closing. Tell me to the segment. In closing. In closing. You're closing. No, it's awesome.

[Jake Johnson]

Very glad you guys invited him to a barbecue. And he said, yeah, he's gonna stand other friends.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We need to do another follow up another time, but it sounds like it's a great start.

[Jake Johnson]

Hey, gr, Will you ring the bell, please? You got as hard as you possibly can.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Ripping off the wall.

[Jake Johnson]

A massive win for YouTube, for our community, for the show, for all the hard work we're doing down here. God damn it. This is just good stuff.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's really nice. So we are genuinely happy.

[Jake Johnson]

This sounds like a nice beginning of friendship. I hope it works out.

[Trevor]

I make friends as an adult man, so it's really cool to, to come together and, you know, maybe after the barbecue we'll, we'll see how the, the texty goes, but at the very least, you got some good golf buddies and a good ring.

[Jake Johnson]

That's it, gentlemen. And enjoy it. We appreciate you guys and have a lot of fun. Keep. Keep us in the loop.

[Trevor]

All right, cool. Thanks so much, guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All right, guys, thank you.

[Trevor]

Thanks so much, man. See you in a few days. Good. All right.

[Jake Johnson]

Bye, guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hi, this is Maddie.

[Jake Johnson]

I had to pull over from driving to work because I have to side with Jake. Read the text.

[Gareth Reynolds]

In the Night Before Christmas, which is.

[Jake Johnson]

The Bible of Christmas. I don't care about no real Bible.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It literally also says a miniature sleigh.

[Jake Johnson]

And eight tiny reindeer. You're telling me that Tim Allen is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Crammed in inside of a teeny tiny sleigh with mini reindeer?

[Jake Johnson]

No, that's inaccurate.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's biblically inaccurate.
