Summary

What if masculinity could be redefined? Well, I don’t know. I don’t really know what that means. It sounds like something Tom Brady would say on a Sunday morning in a watch commercial while I’m ambling to the kitchen to get more chips. But now knowing it’s some dummy sitting in front of his TV cords mumbling about eating vegetables or something, well hey, now I’m ready to sign up to go to some weird man yelling camp! On today’s show, as AuGuest continues, we’re joined by a man truly worth listening to…if you’re not on the other end of a prank call, that is. It’s Chris James! And he is not wearing poopy diapers. He asked me to say that.

Check out Chris on Guys, the podcast about guys, and his new show The Actually Serious Show now available at patreon.com/notevenashow

YKS Premium! Weirdly enough, this month it’s the place you go to hear Mike and JF with no guests! Actually I guess that’s not that weird. That’s what it normally is. Except for like 2-3 movie months, or when we ask one of our friends to be a talking poop. But there’s a lot of good stuff over there and I’m not just saying that because I pour my heart and soul into it!!!! It’s everything I have!

0:00.0	Mike, it's candle season, and you know what that means.
0:04.8	What does it mean?
0:06.5	I tell me now.
0:07.8	I thought that you would know that candle season meant that I'm getting candles and I'm lighting the candles.
0:12.7	And oh yeah, I'm smelling the candles too.
0:15.0	That's arguably the best part.

0:25.2	I didn't, I, like, didn't laugh at all.
0:27.6	Like, I barely even cracked a smile.
0:29.9	You heard us talk about Mount Eleanor Candles, a dear friend of the show.
0:33.7	These candles are hand poured in the shadow of the Olympic mountains. We're talking about
0:38.7	that fantasy land, Mike and I love to project ourselves off to where there are no problems.
0:43.7	That's right. It's the Pacific Northwest.
