Chapter 2: How did Andrew feel about his Vows feature in The New York Times?
Yeah, but you're the boss. You're the manager.
That's true. That's true. What I'm going to blame it on is that it was a holiday weekend. People were not responsive. And so now it's just a boys episode.
I mean, I would like to know. Drop a comment if you like the boys episodes. Boys only.
Where are they going to comment that? Where do the comments go?
Well, as a social media expert and online internet entrepreneur, they can actually comment on Spotify now.
Oh, okay. That's nice.
Directly under the episode.
Okay. All right. Are we ready for this feedback?
Yeah. Okay. Oh, one thing we need to figure out is how to fucking set up a Google Voice thing.

Chapter 3: What does it mean to be 'creative' in today's world?
Like I think it goes up one leg and out the other and depending on how long it takes to travel, something like that.
Did you just come up with that idea, concept yourself? Or had you read that somewhere? Because that's actually a really smart idea.
No, I'd thought about it. I'd thought about it before. I was like, this must be... I haven't Googled it yet, but I was like, maybe they shoot like an electrode. I mean, I don't know if that's the right word, but they shoot something up one leg and it comes down the other. And depending on how long it takes and how much fat it has to jump over.
It's like, it's just wading through an ocean of fat.
It's wading through piles of fat. No, because I don't even know if we talked about this before, but on...
you know i gained like i was already a little chunky like when i met karina i was pretty fit i wasn't fit i was unhealthy but i was skinny yes you know i was still on i was still on the alcohol diet and then we met and obviously you gained the you know the relationship 10 i think that's normal usually yeah
and then she got pregnant and i think stress and work a lot of work you know the road the road to a million was not simple and then the baby was born and i think i just continued fucking just not paying it i i had i have i've had a gluttonous three or four years which is a long time to be gluttonous
Yeah, that's not called gluttonous. That's just called you're just a sedentary, unhealthy human. Phoning it in. Yeah, you're phoning it in. That's right.
And then now I'm back on... I don't know about you, but I never used to think before I ate something. I'd just be like, I want a burger. I eat a burger. I want chicken tender for lunch. I eat chicken tender. There's never a thought of maybe I should choose the healthy option.

Chapter 6: How do Kareem and Andrew view the concept of self-congratulation?
Yeah, they're like, oh, Kareem, do you want to cut the umbilical cord and do skin to skin? You're like, no, I'm DJing right now. I'm busy. I'll get back to you in 20 minutes.
I did cut the cord. It was cool.
Oh, did it feel like cutting meat? Is that a weird question?
I was a little afraid to do it, but then I just did it because I'm a beast.
Yeah. Do you get to keep the scissors? Is that part of the memorabilia? No.
Are you going to get a moil?
Am I going to get a moil? I think he might just be au naturel, dude. That's tight. I think that's back. I think that's back in 2025. I think guys are holding on to their foreskins. What's up? Well, and either. Yeah. Yeah. I just like the word moil, to be honest with you. It is a fun word.
Yesterday, I called Karina a little moil.
Did she know what you were talking about?
