Wait a minute. Is this the right number? It's the loser line. Come on. Just call me back. If you haven't heard the loser line before, it works like this. Let's say someone approaches you while you're out at the club and uses this charming pickup line on you. Hey, girl. Oh. I just wanted to let you know that if a jolly guy approaches you tonight and puts you in his giant bag, it's okay. Whoa.
Because I told Stan I wanted you for Christmas.
For sure, I thought it was going to be the jolly green giant. Yeah. Anyone else?
Whatever you do, don't kick him in the sugar plums. Instead, ask him if he wants to share a candy cane sometime.
One stick, two licks.
And hopefully he leaves an awkward voicemail that we can play on the air. Voicemails like this one. Look, I Googled the thing that we were talking about last night that we were arguing, and yeah, it turns out you were right, man. I mean, sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins, but I mean, if you think about it, that's just total bullshit. Like, why?

Chapter 3: How do the hosts react to the voicemails shared?
So what do you say you give me a chance to earn it back? All right. You seem kind of smart. I'm more of a risk taker. So let's up to Annie, you know, how about you come down to the clinic with me on Friday and I get tested and I bet you there won't find more than three things that test positive for. And if they do find more than three, then I owe you like another ten bucks.
He's just a good gambler. He's giving himself a good money line.
Really, I feel like that's easy money for her. You know, like I take that bet. Yeah.
I mean, at least he's honorable enough to own up to when he loses a bet and he calls you and tells you, you're right, I lost. He's a gambling man. Does anyone else want to Google Sloss holding their breath or is it just me? Yeah. He already did, apparently. I need to verify, Jeff. Why can't they swim? What is the point?
I thought they could swim.
Can they? See, these are things I need to find out. This is how bar bets are born, just like this. Next message. I know I probably came out kind of out there because I slapped pizza slice out of your hand, but you're going to thank me later because gluten really is dangerous.

A lot of places that you wouldn't even think. Which, honestly, that was probably why your under eyes were so puffy. I mean, trust me, you could really cut back. I just think that you deserve to live a happy, gluten-free lifestyle.
And if you give me the okay, I will make sure as your gluten guard that you never touch gluten again. And before I hang up, I remember you said that your parents were sick. So if you can give me power of attorney over them, I can make sure that gluten is out of their life too. Love you, bye. Next message. How do you say I'm crazy without directly saying I'm crazy? Oh my gosh.
Wow.
Gluten went to her head is what happened. Or lack of gluten. Do we live in a state with gluten water?
Water?
She said it's in the water. I want to make sure my water is gluten-free.
Is that the sour cream? You're going to have to hire the gluten guard. I guess so.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts discuss the concept of love bombing?
Hey, it's Kyle. I just had to call because remember how you told me you were into being love-bombed? Well, get ready because bombs away. Here it goes. So... I want to take care of you so much. Like if you were the age you are now, but you lived in a rest home, that's how good I'd take care of you.
I'd bring you to breakfast, to lunch and dinner, and read you the newspaper and play Scrabble with you. How's that for a love bomb? All right, call me back and I can give you some hot bedpan talk. Next message. Does he know what love bombing means? Yeah. I don't know.
It's always good to imagine what your life's going to be like when you're incontinent.
I just feel like that's going to be the next plot to a horror film. The love bomber. The call's coming from inside the retirement home.
But nobody really cares because they can't move that fast.
Right.
Next message.
Hey, Travis. I'm really sorry that it's taken me this long to get back to you. It's just, you know how I told you I was going to be going on that Disney cruise in the UK? Well, I spent some days in London before the cruise and British guys are really hot.
Like, I don't know if it's just the accent or what, but there was this one guy who was, like, explaining cricket to me, and, like, normally something like that would bore me to tears, but it was just, like, the way he said it, I didn't care that he was talking about it for, like, 20 minutes. I was just mesmerized. And then I met this guy, Archie. Oh, my gosh.

And, um, Ta-ta. Next message. Poured salt in the wound at the end there with the ta-ta, the British goodbye.
You think that was the British goodbye? Yeah.
If it was an American goodbye, I'd be like, see you later.
I mean, I get it. British guys are only hot because of the accents.
I think Alexis would disagree with that. Yeah, and to all of our male British listeners, we love you for all of the things about you. They're just so pale, you know? Oh, and you're so tan. It's not a very sunny place.
I'll date you, don't worry.
