I do like it here once you adjust the flight. Not great, but no, it is great to be here. It is. I love Australia. So we got a really fun show. We're excited for you guys to check it out. There's something I want to show the group that Kevin and Gareth haven't seen, that there was a photo that was posted online that...

I just want an explanation. And so I'm going to send this to you, Kevin. And I'd like a reaction of who, who do you see an explanation from? Well, I would like your take. And I guess I'd like an explanation from Kevin. Okay. So this is your take. This was posted by his new wife.

Okay, we're looking at a photo of me smiling. No, I've never seen that smile. It is. This is a wild facial expression. This doesn't look like Kevin. I wish I could say this was the first attempt.

And I hate to say, I feel like a lot of people can relate. This was the best option. I think you suffer from what I suffer from. But this is amazing, is that you can't look normal when you smile. I don't know how to smile. What would you call this smile in your repertoire of smiles? I would call this... Because I have a pitch. I have a pitch too. I call it 3% teeth. Yes. Okay. I have two. What do you have, Garf? I have two.

I've got leaving the cult or fresh lobotomy. Yeah, I'm going to go the second one. I've got robot boy who is told by his new wife. And by the way, she looked great in the photo. Yeah, she said that she said around you. Yes, she's whispering to me how to smile. Yeah, she said being very supportive through this tough moment. This is when you smile, Kevin.

A little more normal. A little more normal. Was this post a nice... Look at you right now talking, Kevin. You look so normal in real life. The reason I love this photo is...

Whoever this guy in the photo is, I've never met him. No. Yeah. I work with you a lot. Yeah. I don't know this person. If I met him on a subway, I'd be afraid of him. You, I know. I like you. You're a nice looking guy. You got a great smile right now. Who is this guy in the photo, man? This is like an accountant in Joliet that's like, I can give you a ride home. It's like, I don't really know you. It's just...

Truly good stuff. It's really great. Guys, we have a great show. Thank you for sticking with us. Yeah. And without. Keep you smiling. Further. Hey, baby. Hey, baby. Hey, baby. Hey. Sorry.

We've been talking into the mic for three minutes and you're not. I just heard it. All right. Callers. It sounded so good. I'm listening to Greg Brown. Oh, my God. So good. Caller, can you hear us? Yeah, I can hear you. Hi. Welcome to We're Here to Help America's Uncensored.

number one podcast uh you're on with jake and gareth uh before we learn who you are jake can you do the um the audio test you just did on yourself please it is hey baby hey baby hey greg brown everybody it was it sounded so good in the ear it was great meyer too uh hey man what's your uh what's your name age where you call say hey babe no oh

You're here ever since you're Hey Baby. You're just hearing other people. That's you. You're the Babe guy. Sir, if I call you Babe today, please don't take offense. Yep. I won't. I won't. Thank you. So what's your name, Babe? And what's your age, Babe? John, 31, from Tulsa. Johnny, 31, Tulsa, Babe.

All right, babe. So what's, uh, what's going on with you? What can we help you with it? So about two weeks ago, I, uh, got into work on a Wednesday morning and just felt like I, I didn't want to be there. I tell me about it. Yeah. Relatable. So far, I told my boss, there's a family emergency and that I had to go home. Uh,

And I proceeded to take the next three days off for said family emergency. This is bold, Johnny. This was just on a whim, too? You just felt you hated work, especially this day? Yeah. Yeah. Nothing in particular happened. Johnny, let me just ask, as a man who battles it myself, is depression a thing?

You know, it probably, it could have been a little bit of that. Just a random Wednesday going, I got to get out of here for three days is mostly not true. I didn't feel like it. What a feeling though. Yeah, I believe. What a feeling to walk out those doors. Hey babe, I got it every day of my life. Oh boy. Okay. All right, John.

I got to get out of here. I know. It's so true. I think 80% of humans have it. We should just be in a forest. Yeah, because it's just, it is. 20% of people are healthy and fine, and the rest of us are going like this. See, there is somebody doing better. I got to get, yes. I got to get out of here. Get out. All right, babe. So you leave work. You take three days off. Where are we at? So next week, I'm in a meeting with my boss, just a regular one-on-one, and she kind of asked me,

Ask how everything was going with the family matter. Hey, hold on. Hey, babe, what did, did you say what the emergency was or just that you had an emergency? I did not. I did not at that time. Okay. Um,

Well, it was smart until this meeting. She she she asks, she just asked if everything is OK. And for whatever reason, I felt like I needed to justify the three days off. Yeah. So I told her that my grandmother died. OK, quick. Let's get. Hey, babe, let's give your boss a name. Jim. Jim. You said she and her name is Jim.

I'm trying to come up with a fake name on the spot. I got you. Sarah. Hey, man. All right, babe. That's fine. Hey, Johnny, take three days off. Yeah, Johnny. You need a break. You're over-exerted. So we're going to say Sarah, yeah? Sarah, the female boss. Yeah, yeah. All right. Meeting one-on-one, you say, how was the emergency? You go, ah, it's very sad. My grandmother died. Yeah. Did you give specifics of the story? If so, can we hear them?

Yeah, I just said that my grandma had passed and then she told me like the company's bereavement policy to take off for the funeral, everything like that. Okay. So you got a little bit more time. Yeah. Was this, yeah. Were you getting more time?

No. So this is where I did give a little bit of detail because I felt a little bad. So I just said that she was cremated and we were just kind of doing a get together over the weekend. It wasn't going to be like an actual funeral because she wanted to they wanted to send flowers and stuff. So I kind of needed to make an excuse. So I just said, yeah, we're doing a get together. We're not doing a funeral. By the way, babe, quick thinking.

yeah also interesting though it's okay all right keep going so you're not he's you're not a guy who pushes it yeah he's playing it so you could i play what garth would have done oh yeah the funerals in thailand she uh she wanted she always identified with thailand and um so we just are all gonna go out there but it's such a beast of a trip

And I don't think I should go. We have all these meetings coming up. But she wanted me to go on a boat with no cell phone reception for a month. She always feared flying, so we're doing it the old-fashioned way. I knew what you would have wanted. Okay, sir, you're fired. Ha!

you're a hundred percent. You can't do that. Grandma. No, no. So Johnny, back to you. So you were pretty smooth. You go cremation. No big deal. What does Sarah say? Yeah. Uh, she says, she says, okay, just, just let me know if there's anything else that you need. Um, like her, whatever. She's taking a lot. Well, and then,

So the next day I'm, I'm at home and I get a, a giant flower delivery to my front door. Hmm.

Sorry for your loss, like from the company. Great. Getting to work the next day, card on my desk signed by everybody in the office. This is getting bad. Yeah. This is getting bad, babe. It's a lot. Yeah. They're too nice. Yeah. It's backfiring. I guess that's where my questions come in is because they were so nice and accommodating about it, I do feel bad for the lie. Of course you do.

In my specific role, it's a lot of one-on-one time with just my boss. I'm the only person underneath her going to events. So there's a lot of small talk and things like that. And I'm worried about now slipping up in this live space

In the future, what if my when my grandmother actually dies? What do I say? Well, first of all, you're not going to that funeral. Well, you're going to find out at noon at one o'clock. You're at a meeting. Yeah. And you're going to be sitting there. Why are you crying? You'll be like, it's the mean sauce. Sad movie. Yeah. About a grandma dying today who I really love. Thinking about my grandma from four years ago. Yeah. So I get it. So the specific question is, what do you do now?

Yeah, I guess the question would be, do I tell them, and if so, how? Or do I just try and live in this lie? No, you bake this cake already. So that part's over. I agree. Let me ask you a question. Everyone gets two. Now, are both of your grandmas alive? In reality, yes. Okay, that's tough. And then how long have you been working at this company, and do you feel like you're going to work there for a while? Is this kind of where you want to be? Yeah, I've been here about...

Three years, and I feel like I'm going to stick around for a while. Okay. Or I hope to. All right, babe. So the Garf said something right on this one. You've already baked this cake. So you got to think of your old life as the ingredients to a cake. You got flour, you got eggs, you got milk, you got sugar. They're gone now. Yeah. You now have a full-blown cake in your house. Yes. The old you who has two living grandmas does not exist at work, period. Yeah.

There's no going back. If you go back, you're your dead grandma because that's over. The company will not go. I totally get it. Now that you said it the way you said it, you just decided on a Wednesday to bail and we sent you flowers.

You are a dead man. You certainly cannot come clean about this. I mean, the truth is that if you were to have drawn this up ahead of time, you probably would have wanted to go with something less severe. Although, if you're going to draw it up, and I'm not saying it's morally sound, you did play it well. Well, you did for on the fly, for sure. And by the way, you got your three days off. Agreed. But...

I got a pitch. Okay, I got a pitch too. Go ahead. You want to go first? No, no, you go. It's not a great second half. It's a start. Okay. I call it the give back. Because I think the reason you're calling in here, honey, is... This is kidding. Is, yes, this is happening, but you're feeling guilty. Am I wrong or am I right? Yeah, no, that's definitely, I think that's definitely what it is. Because I'll tell you what's not going to come up in conversation in eight months. You're dead, grandma.

Probably not. I got to tell you, I don't think I've ever casually talked about my grandparents. Truth. I've never been at work and talked about. Now, if you say, yeah, we're going to go visit my grandma, the person's going to assume it's the one that's alive. And in three months, they're not going to think about it. So what I'm thinking, and if I'm off track here, then pull me back in. But you seem like a nice guy, babe.

And you feel like you didn't want them to feel bad. You just wanted to get out of work. You didn't want the flowers. You didn't want the card. You didn't want the human empathy. So what we got to do now is pay it back. Yeah. There's a karmic sense in here. There's a karmic sense in here. And that is, I would maybe have like a food truck for everybody and say like,

Thanks for everybody here for being so cool. Love being here. Love this community. Happy Friday. I think I think something like that is pretty good. If you order pizzas for lunch one day, talk to your boss. Say the outpouring was so nice that you want to buy pizzas for everybody on Friday. As well as I don't want to heighten it anymore. I don't need to talk about it anymore. Yeah, I just want to even do something anonymous.

Yeah, that's true, too. Because if you do it, they're going to go like, man, this must have really cracked him up. I actually like that better. I like that if you say to her, everyone was so sweet. You don't want to keep talking about this. But Friday, would it be cool if you let everyone know Friday there's going to be pizza in the break room and you got them a bunch of pizza? Hey, babe, what do you think about an anonymous give back? When we say that to you, how does that make you feel? You need three days off from this call? No, I think...

I think it would definitely have to be anonymous. My concern is just bringing more attention to it in general with my boss. With the boss. Trying to plan that. Okay, so I have an idea. Go. Anonymous, anonymous. Yeah, that's good. The boss doesn't even know. Just show him. There's just a day that there's a box of donuts in the break room.

There's the next week. There's a whole catered bagel thing. Well, I think that we're let me tell you a story from the show as to why I think that will work.

It'd be really funny if all of a sudden in the episode it just cut to the next piece of advice. If you hear, let me tell you a story, and then you hear, I got other advice. And the audience went. It's back to you, like, or another option. And then on video you see, like, we're both way more tired. There's like three empty cans. There's like smoke in the room. Smoke's clearing still. Whatever it was, Gareth told a lot. My mic is pushed far away. The guy, Johnny, at the end of it goes,

Alright guys, that wasn't helpful and I do have to go. Yeah, he's gotta go. I do have to go though. Alright. It's a good story. So...

We have a sponsor and it's called Dewar. And Jake was going to, Jake basically picked out the outfit for me. Yeah. And, and so these clothes showed up at my house. Yes. And I didn't, as I took the clothes, I started wearing them. I didn't realize, I wasn't sure if it was a spot. I just didn't ask any questions. Clothes just showed up. Clothes just showed up. And you wore them. And I was happy.

happy that they were there. So I didn't source it. I didn't trace it. I didn't ask any questions. I was like, it could be the wrong person. I'm just happy to have the clothes. I didn't bring it up again. So I think the point there is that if pizza show up... But hold on.

Then he wears it to work one day and I compliment his clothes and I go, this is your look. You look great. He doesn't say these random clothes. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Yeah, no, I'm finding myself. I'm finding my footing over here. Then a couple of weeks later when it's time for the commercial, we don't need to keep. And I say to Kevin, Hey, Kevin, the,

The clothes that were sent to Gareth, I thought they were sent here to the studio. And I go, we need them for today's ad. And he goes, I don't know. Gareth is silent the entire time. Well, there's palpable tension. So I thought it's not a good time for me to jump in with my part. And later after Kevin and I are like smoothing it out and we go, all right, I guess we'll just ask them to send some clothes. Gareth goes, I will say about a month ago, some random clothes were sent to me that you complimented and said looked really good.

The point is, Johnny, the point is not that I'm a grown man. The point is, if if anonymous bagels or donuts or pizza show up, nobody's going to be like, you're right. Where did these come from? But it will be like, oh, it's great. That's right. But you energetically will feel you righted or wrong. Are we anywhere near a solution you like, babe?

I definitely think so. I think the more we've been talking, I've realized it is more of a conscience guilt issue and that there's probably not a tangible solution to it. So I think I like this idea. Hold on, just to talk this out with you because you're with us, right? Yeah. Tangible solution.

And this is not a road I'm necessarily pitching that I think is right, but just to talk it out would be this. Garf, you're Sarah. Yes. Johnny, I'm going to be you, okay? Okay. We're in a meeting. Okay.

Yeah, so I feel like if we can get that done by next Thursday, we'll be in good shape. What's going on with me? I think that's absolutely correct. I went out last night. Yeah, and I think that would be very doable by Thursday. Okay, great. One last thing before we go. Go ahead. The outpouring that I received from this company and you specifically was very kind. Well, we are just so sad. And my grandma didn't die. Yeah, so what do you mean? She's totally alive.

Then why did you take the... Wanted the days off. Hustled you. Lied to you. Years. Sorry, your grandma is alive and fine and you completely made all of that up? I did. And I feel bad and I don't want to lose my job. So Thursday I'll have to... No, hold on. Because everybody... Let me just be very clear. You put everyone through your emotions. And I appreciate the kindness. Yeah, but you shouldn't appreciate anything. There's nothing to appreciate because they're definitely revoked now. Right. But

But on the fact that you were able to play this off for the amount of time that you did scary, no part of you thought you should come clean when you got the card and the flowers. I'm doing right now, but it's way beyond the time. Thursday, I'll have the deadline. So Thursday is not a matter of your concern at this point. Honestly, what is a matter of your concern? You know what? Here's the good news. You're getting another day off. I don't think you should be here today. And we kind of need to figure out where we want to go with this, because this is just sort of my grandma died. So are you saying you see what we're saying here, baby?

Yeah. You just kind of see the death trap you're entering. Yeah, I hated that. Yeah, but that's what you would be looking down the barrel of. Now, I got a couple little things to leave you with just in case. Okay.

The truth is, you do have two grandmas. They are not immortal. No. And if you're saying you want to be at this company for a long stretch of time, you know, life is life. At some point, you might have to take time off for the passing of both of your grandmas. If you're here for another 15 years, Sarah might be your boss still. She's going to be like, wait a minute, I'm doing some grandma math. So you might want to, in the next year,

Pepper a little foundation for the future where you talk about how your grandpa remarried. You got a step grandma. Fucking wrote it. Yes. Yes. Right. Yes. But no, you're right. So if you want a way out whenever somebody says something. But here's the problem with that, Gareth.

And I say this to you too, Johnny. If somebody goes like, hey, have you been okay since your grandma died? And you go, step-grandma. Oh, I don't think we say this one's the step-grandma. Oh, the next one. I think we lay the foundation that this family is a little more complicated than maybe everybody knows. Oh, yeah, that's right. There's a step-grandma. So when the real one goes...

We can get the day off. We have to worry about this when the second one. Yes. So the next one that dies is grandma. Yep. The next one after that that dies. You're equally sad. You need time off. You need it. You need two days. Step grandma. Yeah. Step grandma. So what do you think of right now? The anonymous give back and the future. Go ahead. This one who just passed. Yeah. Your grandpa remarries.

next year. You can't be sad about you met somebody when they were 80 years old and they died at 82. Okay. You don't get days off for that. Just options. Options, babe. Couldn't this solution just be I've always had a step-grandma? Yes. Yes, that's exactly right. Gareth had it and then he blew it and now we're back. I didn't blow anything. We're following threads here to get you to the best place. But babe, yes, it is. You've always had a step-grandmother and you've viewed them all as your grandmas. Yes.

You didn't meet her when she was 79 and lose her at 80, and now you need three days off of work because then the assignment on Thursday, you're out of here. Yeah, okay. All right, babe. I've been very nice, but you brought out the Moe. You're Moe-ing. You are Moe-ing. Moe always thinks it's the other person. Babe, what do you think of this idea that we go in with the anonymous giveback, and if you do the anonymous giveback, what do you think you're going to do? I think I'm going to do that. I think I'm going to just...

ordering some pizzas for lunch one day i'm just on my own yep and then you could write a note that says like thanks for being such great co-workers yeah good maybe you want to wait a couple weeks until you're further away from this but yeah i think something but also even if somebody goes like hey man did you send that pizza you could say yeah i did and i'll tell you why they go oh that's sweet and you go like you know it's just a great group of people here yeah

I mean, look, we're just looking for a karmic etch-a-sketch. So I think that gets you that. And I'll tell you what, babe. You'll know when to stop sending those pizzas. You'll feel it. What do you mean? Are you saying he's sending pizzas every couple of weeks for a while? Until you feel the debt is clear. No, because I would worry that then people are like. I'm a guy who did Reiki. I'm different now. Oh, God. I didn't know he did that. We'll probably cover that at some point. Oh, my God. So I'm now a guy. And are you changed? Listen to me.

I was only Mo once. We just started. Shut up. Oh, my God. Oh, God. It doesn't work. But here's what I mean by it. You can do it once. But if you're not done, then don't be done. You can keep finding ways to purge yourself of the guilt if you like. But, you know, look, it's over.

You did it. I mean, in life, there are times where you make decisions that are fucking wrong. And then all of a sudden it cuts to. I'm not here anymore. Three drinks. I'm not here. Hannah Simone is here. You're like frazzled. It comes back. I'm a little rattled. So wait. OK, let's talk.

Sometimes this happens and you just, you know, let it go. What matters is that you will learn that, hey, you know what? You didn't fucking make the best decision in the moment. You needed three days off. Shit happens. You did it. Don't beat yourself up. Don't rake yourself over the coals. We'll be right back. But, uh, title, uh, not title. Maybe, uh, Johnny question to you, babe. What are you gonna do? Walk us through the whole thing. The floor is yours. We're going to try not to interrupt.

Yeah, I think probably at some point next week, I like the idea of just ordering some pizza into the office for lunch, maybe leaving a little note next to it saying, thank you, but keeping it vague enough that it can't relate directly back to me. Yeah, do a parenthetical, not about a grandma. Yeah, and then just keep doing good deeds, I suppose, until, like Jake said, I just feel better. Yeah, I like this. Okay, and then...

What's going to happen when real grandma dies? Well, the next one, like we said, we're still good there. Okay. And then what happens when grandma dose passes? What if it's fast? What if it's like dominoes? One knocks over the other. Oh, man, if they go at once. That's what I'm saying. Let's just talk it out. No, no. If they both go at once, that's still. That's actually great. Then it's just grandma. That's. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess you need to figure out a way. Oh, go ahead.

Oh, I was going to say that's just the ideal situation. No, it isn't. Wow. We really got you to a dark spot. Hopefully you're going to be sending yourself pizzas for that. So Johnny, so I think we have a good solution. It's a wild one, but I think the anonymous give back is going to help you. I think when, unfortunately your grandma passes, you deal with the second one. And then when the third one does, you deal with the pain, but you understand that

You're not going to get the full break and you might have to lean into step. Are we on agreement here as a team on that one? Yes. All right. Babe, thank you for the call. Thanks, babe. Thank you. All right. Bye.

Hello. Hi. How are you doing? Good. How are you? Doing great. What's your name? Lorelei. Lorelei. Where are you calling from? I'm calling from Austin. And how old are you? Sixth Street.

Sixth Street. And how old are you? Are we too old for Sixth Street? I'm 37. Ouch, ouch. I will say this. Ouch. I know he's plus that, and the answer is yes, he is. Owie, owie, owie. Lorelei, last time I was there, I am too old for it. It shows the Garf Man. Ouch.

There's always a few days out there like that, but that's okay. Jesus Christ. You gotta be a little nicer. That last one hurt. That one made me feel sad for the guy. Because there is, whenever you go to like a college-y area, there's always that one 40-year-old who's like walking around being like, dude, Duke won

Luke won in March Madness. And you go like, those 18-year-olds can do this. You are out of college for longer than you're old. You've been out of college longer than the people in college have been alive. Legally, you should not be able to wear the jersey of someone younger than you. I agree with this. It is creepy. Stop. All right, Lorelai. Lorelai, what's going on? You can't rephrase my burn. Stop. Lorelai, what's going on?

Okay. So here's, here's what's up. Oh,

My husband and I bought our daughters a trampoline. And the night we set it up, I'm scrolling on social media and I see my neighbor's story where she's posted a question saying that the kids next door have gotten a trampoline and can she still get naked in her backyard? Oh my God. That I didn't expect. This is insane.

I feel like you just read a keyword search on YouTube. Yeah, so say that again. It gets better. So her poll gives four options, right? So A, it's like, yes, girl, it's your yard. Get naked. B, can't get naked. B, can't get naked because hashtag kids. C, talk to the parents, which is us. Or D, build a hierophant. So you got a trampoline in your backyard.

So the kids are now jumping. They're higher than before. There used to be a fence there. You saw, how did you see your neighbor's post? She's an influencer of some sort of like low influencing, I guess. So you follow her on social media?

I don't follow her. I lurk. Oh, I understand. Respect. Smart. Okay. Good work. Yeah. Okay. So you know of her on it. She went like, hey, y'all, I don't know what to do. My neighbor's got a trampoline. Can I still be nude? And then there was like some song on there in the background. And then she said like, poll time. A, do I keep getting naked? Screw it. I'm cray. Two, stop getting naked. Three, hire fence. Four, talk to the family. Exactly.

Exactly. Now, let me let me do a little background on her because she's in this influencing of like like magic mushrooms, praying to crystals like menstrual blood facials. It's like where was the third one? The third one is where I got lost for so menstrual facials. Is that a real thing? Apparently, I didn't know either. I don't know. I'm from California originally, but I didn't know I was out here.

here, but she has giant paintings that you can see from our yard are into their front room of giant open vats. I'll tell you, we've all really taken menstrual facials real easy and moved on from it. Cause I'm still hanging. I mean, I've,

Well, I'm not going to say it, but we've all had the incident and it's not something you're like, keep that on the face for as long as possible. Boy, my skin. We've all had the incident? You know, you've gone down there wrong time. You need to call in this show because you're an animal. Well,

We all are. You assume we all are 45-year-old guys in Duke sweatshirts hanging around on 6th Street. You're like, we've all run around with menstrual all over our faces. I don't mind if the road's shut down. I'll drive along it. You are a

A wild animal. Listen, I've been a comedian on the road for a long time. I'm sure this happened before you started doing stand-up. Absolutely. Now, Lorelei, so this is wild what's going on next door. It's also wild that I... What's going on right here? Everything is wild. Lauren, you and I are together. Gareth and your neighbor should get married. Well, the mushrooms I love. Yeah. I love the mushroom part. So let's get back to this thing. So inside her house,

She's got big poster, big paintings of vaginas. Open vag. Open vag. Don't do this, Gary. I'm explaining to those of us who are listening on YouTube. What is it? An elephant's vagina? In your example, how big is this woman? Are you that big and she's a giant? I like to do the Moses. You know what it is when you go down on a lady. You know how it is. It's like opening an elevator door in speed. So, Laura, Laura Lee.

Let's get back to you. Yes. Thank you. You got a trampoline. The kids are jumping. The neighbor lady said, do I keep getting naked? The neighbor lady is a wild woman. Yes. Yes. Influencer. Keep going. Okay. So are my husband and I were like, do we wait till the kids, my daughters are nine and five. Do we wait till they see naked lady or do we, are we knocking on her door and saying, okay,

You can't say anything to her. She's allowed to do what she wants on her property. And you go out yourself as a lurker. Also, if somebody said to me, if someone came to me and said like, how,

I was climbing up in a tree and I looked in your window and I don't like your artwork. I'm going like, so what? Get out of here. Do you think she, is she just straight up? Is she just straight up being like kind of hippie in the yard naked? Or are we thinking there's like weirder shit than that? You got the synopsis of her influencing. That's just her public life. I mean, I think there, I don't know. There's mushrooms involved. So mushrooms. Here's the first thought. Can you move the trampoline someplace else in your yard?

No. The trampoline is moved as far away from their site as he could put it. Can you spend a little bit of money, not a lot of money, a little bit of money and get some hedges? I think that's where we're leaning. Now, here's what you can do in the meantime. So if you plant hedges, you can go three feet. If you want to spend less, you go six feet. You want to spend a little more, you can go 12 feet. I can get you a bundle deal. Let her do it on her own.

In the meantime, what I think you should do is there's a sports type net. We have one. You know, you just put it. My kids are playing ball in the backyard. I went on Amazon for a couple hundred bucks, got a huge net. But they make those for trampolines. Yes. No, but I wouldn't.

So I would also put a net over the fence blocking vagina pictures. If she asks about it, you just don't want things flying into their yard. Like menstrual blood. But I would consider putting something up to start blocking. And eventually those privets are going to solve the problem for you. But you got to wait till it grows in. So two poles, cheap netting.

nice and dark and black throw it up if she brings it up you say like just my kids are getting wild with the trampoline they're playing catch in there we just want to keep everything in this yard in this yard no bad feelings no bad blood yeah lots of bad blood to be fair what do you think of that i like it i like it a lot it's cool i already knew that a bush will solve this

I like that. I like that a lot, too. I'm with you, Kevin. I like that, too. Screw you, Kevin. Fuck you, Jake. I like that, too. What I would do, you could also do you have a net up on your trampoline now?

Yes. Yeah, we got the net. I think post our childhood, they all do. Yeah, it's crazy that we did it. I think it's illegal. I think it is illegal. It used to not be, but nowadays, everybody broke an arm on a trampoline ramp. We were growing up. Yeah, no, it was above ground pool too. We had the above ground pool with no deck and it was just like one out of 10 jumps. Someone almost dies. I would say if you can maybe find...

Maybe you want to double mesh that net that kind of gives you a little bit of the pixelation vibe. But I think Jake's right. I think like why not just go with something like that? Hedge it out a little bit. Yeah, it's really weird. But my guess is also because she's an influencer. She's.

She's making more of a meal out of it than she it's not like she's roaming the garden naked as much. I think she's trying. She's just doing it for that shit. So but I think just to hedge your bets, we'll be right back. Get get some hedges. What do you think, Laura? What are you going to do? What do you want to do here? I mean, I don't want to talk to her. You don't. So I don't want to talk about this. Yeah, I don't. I wouldn't recommend it. Yeah, no.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. And I mean, I don't, my five-year-old's just going to yell like, like naked woman, naked lady. It's going to be, you know, it's going to be disastrous if they see her. Have you ever seen this woman naked? Basically because at the community pool, she wore a string thong bikini.

Jesus Christ. Interesting. With like hundreds of kids in the pool. Oh, so she's wild. We do house calls too. Maybe I can head over there and we can take some mushrooms. I can talk to her a little. You know what I mean? This is where we lose Gareth to a ponytail.

He's going to literally come back with a ponytail and overalls and be like, I did three shows at the Comedy Mothership, and now I'm in love with this influencer. Dick Street is magic again, brother. Dude, it is a lot. I'm back. Eric, I don't see him. We'll go, the music's incredible. Eric at the... Man, it really is weird. So this is the kind of... And what is this woman? We'll block it out, but what's her Instagram handle? Yeah, just so we can be clear. No.

We're going to block it out, but this is just for us. Oh, you are going to block it out? Yeah, yeah. Kevin, will you put it up on the screen so we can get a look at it? Yeah, she sent it. Okay. Before we wrap this up, this will get blocked out. What we're dealing with. Just a taste of what you're dealing with. Yeah. So this is the kind of woman who wore a string bikini to a kid's public pool.

Which, again, I don't think necessarily says that, you know... It's weird, Garth. It's weird, but I also think for those influencer people, they do that shit to just bring people to be like, oh, definitely be naked. Don't let it stop you. The body's beautiful. Yeah, but I mean...

Oh, it's a lot of, yeah, it's a lot of body empowerment. Let's see if it's a real influencer. Okay, so, all right, I hear what this is now more. Keep going. Let's see. So this is, okay. Oh, wait, we're seeing the backyard, the fence. So that's a low fence.

Yeah, there's some elevation. So where, you know, you can see. Okay. And then she's got stuff to like to lift your mood. I'm going to say the good news is I don't think she's in the yard naked as much as she's saying.

And I'm going to say, I will say she's different than I expected. She has more of like a mother earth vibe rather than like a in your face, annoying influencer. Okay. Well, we're still team war, though. I mean, right. Like it is a problem. I'm going on the other side a little bit. I'm going on the other side, but I'm not going to lie and seeing it. Okay. And here's where I'm at. So what she's saying is she is a woman who is into sex.

Her thing's about feminine power. Her body, her choice. She loves nature. She's down in Texas, the new California. So all those people who talk shit about California and move there, just so you guys know, you guys are the new California. You're talking shit about yourselves. You're looking in the mirror. You guys are the new California. You guys are a joke.

So be really proud. But literally all the worst of LA has moved there. Half the reality stars are now down there. Every kid actor from some show that was terrible is now down there and having like a little fort and being like, dude, I love it. They're all taking mushrooms. They think they're getting deep. They're all like, dude, I used to pay taxes and now I literally have a gun. And you're like, you're such a loser. And in three years, you're going to turn back.

You guys know you're just chasing some other idea. Okay. And then you're I'm lost. Okay. But so here's my point. She seems like the kind she's different than I thought. I thought it was going to be one of these really annoying in your face young influencers who's just about attention attention attention. Yeah, this woman feels like she's taking a more holistic approach to everything meaning she does not want to offend especially little kids and

She does not want your kids. So her question is more like, fuck, I used to love eating mushrooms and letting the sun vitamin D go on my vagina. Right. Can we highlight that clip? And now I can't. Now I can't be laying there tripping my ass off with my legs spread to mother son because I don't want a little five year old going like, mommy, watch me do. Oh, my God.

So you're kind of the bad guy in her like wonderful trip. So I would say going back to that netting, you might be doing both of you a favor that she could say like, thank you for the privacy screen. Yep.

This goes back to when we had when we had the guy who stretches naked in front of his wife. Who's the good guy? Who's the bad guy? You never know. But what I will say is a privacy screen goes a long way. I agree. I think that's the easiest solution. And I also I just don't think it's I think she's more hemming and hawing just because people are going to be like, oh, you do you.

um but you don't want to find out so i would just go that route play it safe privacy screen any way you can you've got the finances and you can do a bigger fence do it you can also build it yourself yeah if you can't build a wall you're in texas build a wall you're in texas uh but really more than anything privacy screen yep

I like it. I appreciate the help. I needed some direction. Well, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. Because of course we're on your side. You're the caller until she calls in. If she calls in, I'm a hundred percent with you. I'm a hundred percent against Laura. Rip the screen down. Here's what I will say. Let's see this from her point of view. She just ate mushrooms. She's tripping balls. She's got 6,000 people who follow her internationally. She just made a wonderful cup of mushroom coffee.

She goes outside. She just wants the sun to cook her body. And she wants that vitamin D going into her pores. She is just tripping out. And now she's got to hear, that's the sounds of kids jumping on a trampoline. Then she sees the little heads popping up and she's thinking, block it out. Just listen to your headphones. Then she hears, then she thinks, yes. And then they laugh.

She's opening the curtains of the elephant door. And now you're just kind of... No. You're just kind of ruining her life. You're ruining her life. You're the cop. You're the narc. And guess what, Laura? Where did you live before Texas? I know. California! You ruined it!

I don't know. You went, she was a wonderful keep Austin weird. She's the real deal. And you went down there because taxis and homelessness are crazy. And now your kids are jumping over the fence and staring at her beautiful body.

You're rude, Texas. Jake's ability to pivot. I'm joking. Unrivaled. No, please don't. I'm just the Moe of Three Stooges. We just discovered. But he's right. Privacy screen. That's going to solve your problem real easy. Yes, and if you ever have a back and forth with her, I would lead out with an apology. Interesting. Okay.

Even if you don't believe it. And here's why you go like, sorry, I got these crazy kids. Their kids are loud. And now they're, I literally gave them a spring to bounce over your fence.

So they're now springing up into your privacy. God, I'm telling you, as far as like a mushroom taker goes, you really have made quite an environment now. Just like, man, I was just trying to eat an apple in my yard naked. It's like, ma! And then you hear the, because we have a trampoline in our backyard, you hear the like, rubber go down, all the springs, springs go up. And kids, they can't help but scream on a trampoline. Yes, right.

Right. Yeah. So I think this is a 50 50 deal. She's not saying on her post, how do I get these annoying kids to stop jumping? She's just saying, do I have to wear underpants now? And the answer to you, dear influencer, is no, you don't. Quick, quick question, Lord. Did she post that on her stories?

She did. Yeah. If if you lurk again, if you lurk again and see something like that, you might want to go nuclear and just follow her and see what happens. Yeah. By the way, danger is she can see that you looked at the story. It's true, too. I know. I don't want to I don't want to give up my working, you know. Well, I might want to create a list of where we're opening a new elephant curtain. Yeah. Laura, let us keep us posted on how this goes.

Okay. And we appreciate the call. I will. I appreciate you. We appreciate you. And for the rest of you Californians going down to Texas, keep ruining Texas. There you go. Yeah. It got better here. Laura, come back. We miss you in California. Everything is bigger. Jump back over here. Everything is bigger. Like your problems. Title. Thank you for the call, buddy. We appreciate you. See you later. Okay. Bye-bye.

Welcome back. Hi. Welcome back to We're Here to Help. America's obviously we all know no one podcast. Don't look it up. We don't know who you are, but we know you're a follow up call. So do you want to tell us who you are and what's going on? Of course. It's Lorelei from Austin with the Naked Neighbor. Yes. Oh, the one with the trampoline. Yes.

You guys have a trampoline. The kids jump over. She has an Instagram. She likes to get sun on her vagina. Is that correct? We all do. I mean, in a nutshell, that's exactly what's happening. Right. The floor is yours. Well, the update's not great. Before you start, what was our advice to you, just so I remember clearly? What did we tell you to do?

Okay, well, what you, at the end of it, the crux of it was that Gareth was going to, like, shack up with her and they were going to live a long, happy life. And I should tell my kids to shut up.

What was the advice before that? That feels like last second bad advice. There must have been something about privets or putting a fence up. Yeah, I think we said put up some privacy barriers. Yeah, like a screen. At the end, Gary said he was going to marry her. Yeah, and that happens. 80% of the calls end with that. Agreed. Yes, it was like a mess or something. So to put some privacy, of course,

growing trees takes a long time so not a lot's happened we moved the trampoline about 10 feet closer to the house and we've not had any naked sightings great we have been playing yeah so that's good but summer's around the corner so i feel like it's coming we do play my husband's a big uh fan of the national so we play the national really loud because i feel like that

keeps the vibe where we want it maybe the keeps it kind of quiet um but then she uh also kind of i don't know if it's in response to but she was singing um alanis morris said uninvited oh like a pointed it's a very specific song

It's very pointed, right? Yes. I don't know where. I think we're going to run into them, and I just don't know how it's going to go. Oh, so it's a little sideways at the moment. It's a little. It feels like some things. Yeah, it feels like some things on the horizon because we have a pool. There's a neighborhood pool, and they like to go there. I think I told you that. She wears not a lot of clothes to the pool. Yes, she does.

Yeah, that's my wife. So let's all relax a little bit. It might not be a bad idea to like this might be a stupid thing. It sounds like there's tension or maybe not tension. We're not sure. There's not much. There's either going on paranoia or tension.

Yeah, so what if you just did something where you just like brought something over to her? Just like a weird kind of like whatever, just nothing like major, but just be like, hey, I made a bunch of this here. Do you want some? You know what I would do? I would give it to all your neighbors. I would go like, you know, make 100 cookies and give each neighbor 10. Yeah. So you're not just doing it to her, but just like as a happy summer gift.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. I like that. I like that. We have a neighbor that actually, so that would be, that would like, there you go. Perfect. Yeah. Just to, just to squash it a little bit and then, you know, cause then we got to see what's going to happen with the nudity.

Yeah. And if I'm over there, there's going to be a lot of it. And male, too. A lot of male. Not a lot of male. I've seen you naked. Well, not recently. Things are worse. Things don't grow besides stomachs.

stomach's the only stomach's the only thing that can get big now dude i get so hard these days all right well listen we appreciate the follow-up on this one but i think let's just try to yeah passive aggressive song seems a little worrisome so let's do potentially maybe do 10 cookies each welcome the new neighbor say something sweet and if she's

you know, getting naked and getting weird, then maybe we can pitch again. But I do think it's going to be the privacy screen. Yeah, I agree. Thank you for the follow-up. We appreciate you. All right, Laura. Good luck. I'll see you this summer. Okay, thanks, Jeff. Bye. See you. See you later.

Hey everyone, producer Kevin here. This next follow-up is from episode 15. It's called Dougie McBuckets. It's from October 5th, 2023, and it is the second call in the episode. So if you'd like to listen as a quick refresher, that's where you can do it. Enjoy. Hello. Hello.

Hey, Kevin, you want to intro this one? Yeah, go for it, Kev. Let's see what you could do. Why don't you try to host for a minute, Kev? Okay, here I go. That's terrible. Hey, caller, this is a follow-up. We don't know who you are or why you're calling, but can you remind the guys? Nice. Yeah, yeah, I'll try to make this one really fun and light. I'm Corinne. I am the 27, now 28-year-old,

who had emphasis on had rectal cancer. Oh, yes. Wait, you're trying to? Yeah. Corinne, it's in the past. It

It is in this past. And I don't want to say you guys cured it. But I think you guys have a positive testimony. We're here to help cure cancer. You said it. We didn't say it. You said it. Well, first of all, I can say it. First of all, walk us through where you're at. So when you say it's in the past, you're out of the woods.

I am. I am. I had a tumor resection in November. And thank you. So now I will just be scanned on a three to six month basis.

return return to normal life so now that we are out of the woods with cancer which we are very happy about you're part of our group so we are glad now let's get to the important stuff have the sex life yeah

because you didn't call in saying no help me cure cancer yeah we you said how do i get back into the sexual swing of this with this and we said i don't think guys care yep we were pretty clear yeah and i was like we also said i don't think you need to tell anybody just i don't think a guy's gonna be like wait a second we had a wild 69 and i found out after

you're battling cancer. You lied to me. Yeah, no, they were like, I take back that 13 minutes. So what is what's going on now? Current?

Well, unfortunately, I still haven't gotten laid. It's all right. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. So nothing happened with the men. What's going on there? This doesn't make sense. No. OK, but I but I did put myself out there, which I was proud of, because I feel like when when your own morality comes into play, nothing really matters anymore. So I think that has helped a lot with dating because.

That's cool. There's no stakes. It's like, who cares? It's like, if you put yourself out there and you get turned down, I was proud that I did that because that was normally not my vibe. But when you're like, I have to die. Yeah. Really? You really just don't want it anymore. Yeah.

That's awesome. How have you been trying to meet people? What were the ways you, because we were talking about setting up dating profiles and all that stuff. Have you tried anything outside of that? Yes, yes. And I have dating profiles set up, but then the person I tried to pursue was actually a friend. So I just went rogue. I just went complete. You said, how about keep it normal? And then I decided to go after someone who knew everything.

everything about my current situation. So I just said YOLO. That person isn't interested in dating right now, which is fine. And I didn't pick it personally. But you just got to risk it sometimes. It's quite a time when you figured out how to beat rectal cancer, but dating still eludes us. It really says a lot about the state of the world.

Yes. That just goes to show modern, modern dating. So rectal cancer was the easy part. And now we're to the actual challenging bit. And so where we're ending on this is that you at 28 years old have beat rectal cancer. You are cancer free and you are ready to mingle. And you're now going to see what happens. Cause you went, look, you went through, what was it about 18 months, this whole ordeal?

Probably like a year. A year. So that was a wild year. So like COVID, you get to erase that year. That was a year that doesn't count on your record. So now you're starting over. And so now that you're cancer free, you've got a new attitude. And that new attitude is, as you say, YOLO, let's go for it. So I think from 28 to 30, let's just go fucking nuts. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, I think you should. I think you should just go. No.

Let me jump in once and twos. No, what I was going to say also is that...

do that. And even though it seems you will find at some point someone who finds this story and this ordeal like so compelling and will value it. And until then, yeah, just enjoy yourself. Don't worry about it. But it, you know, I think at some point you'll find value in the fact that and someone else will as well. OK. And while I have you guys, I do have we got to go. Oh, no. I

Thank you so much for the call. No, no, go ahead. Because of this whole ordeal, like it took up a year of my life and I wasn't dating previously. I'm now like 28 and I haven't had sex in two years. And I feel like that's something people don't really talk about or it just feels kind of weird. And I just don't know if I'm putting that on myself.

if anyone actually does give a fuck, you know? Nobody gives a fuck. What's your worry? That you forgot how to fuck? You didn't. Trust me. Believe me, you haven't. It'll be fine. No man will notice. It's like being ridden by... It's like you're the bicycle, yes?

The person on top of you still will remember how to ride the bike. Yes. And, and it'll be along for the ride. At least, at least for the first three minutes of the first one. And then you get to go like, now you're the bike. Yeah. You will really have you guys. It'll be. Yeah. And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you another thing here. There's something really appealing to the majority of guys. I've gone, uh,

it's been two years and nothing's happened and you go because i'm so goddamn sexy and cool that i am the guy and you go it's all been waiting for you and the guy goes like of course so this is if anything it's like i would say a positive point what this way hold on gareth it's way better saying i haven't been with somebody in two years then i've been with 4200 people in the last year and a half

Well, by the way, neither would dissuade. Neither would dissuade. But it's great because it's basically like you get to try to get a layup against someone who just had MCL surgery and got the green light to start again. That's way better. That's exactly right. They're going to relish it and it'll work out. This is a big win. You're in such a good zone. Here's what I got to suggest as the premise of this, as we're in a bar just pitching to you.

Don't create obstacles. Even that to you, this is a non-obstacle. And I will say, having rectal cancer while going on a date, to me, is also, these are non-obstacles. You are 100% in the clear. There's no...

I haven't done this in two years. Who cares? Even if you said I'm 28 years old and I've never kissed a guy. Fine. Yeah. These are non obstacles. That's not, that's really good to hear. But I also wouldn't be, I think if you're on a date, I also think it's a hot thing to say to go like, I gotta be honest with you. I haven't had sex in two years. Great. Yeah. I,

I don't think I again for there are you know, there are many, many flaws within the male psyche. Among them is there will be no judgment on that. Sex will be sex. I wonder if Garfin, this is a question to both you guys, if in reverse it is different. Like if if you were on a date, Corinne, and a guy said to you, I haven't had sex in two years. Is that a bit of a turnoff?

I have been with someone in the past who wasn't very sexually experienced. And it was definitely different because I feel like at least in my sexual experiences as a woman, sometimes I find the driving force comes from the man. So I just feel like there was a little bit of a dynamic shift, but it wasn't a bad thing. I kind of felt like a badass.

Now we're talking. Listen, the upside and the downside to being the guy in the straight fucking is that you are in charge of the time. And unfortunately, that is on you. So if the time is great, hey, listen, you're with a pro. If the time is short, whoopsies. As they say, the heavyweight fight was scheduled for 10 rounds, but it rarely goes 10 rounds.

And then a boxer knocked himself out before he got in the ring. Because the other boxer did like a really sexy, cute dance that was unexpected at the beginning. And the fight's canceled. There's no fight. Well, as I was walking out, I didn't know the other boxer was going to have that song on and do that cool thing with their rope. And you just, you walk out, you get to the ring, you turn around, you walk back. I have a concussion. What?
