Here, I wrote it all out so you can see what the hell I'm talking about! (newest to oldest)
Jam 22: A Labradoodle Day
Hey, Gerald - tell me something: did you go to the shoe store and say: listen, I don’t care what shape or color they are or even whether they fit well or look good. I just want flipflops that squeak real loud, every single time I take a step
Fuck you Dennis

Question: Did you spell check this email before you sent it?
Not sure, why?
Let me read it to you: Dear Mr. Penis, nice to eat you today. It was a real placenta. I very munch enjoyed our convection oven. Please don’t hibernate to contact me if you have any funky queso. Have a labradoodle day, Hubert Turdmunch
Well, at least I got my name right

(radio jingle) This is WPOOP, talk radio: average content for average listeners. Coming up, we speak to a western man who has never heard of jesus, and quintuplets who each hate the number 14, but for entirely different reasons. But that’s after a quick break because right now its time to give some love to a long time sponsor, and I'm talking about One Eyed Franks
One Eyed Franks: We specialize in greasy fingerfoods served without napkins, disgusting overpriced cocktails, and cramped standing space with constant bumping into by people going by, only some of whom smell acceptable. In fact: We hire folk with unusually large torsos and poor hygiene to just keep walking by with no other purpose than to be in your way. One Eyed Franks: come on in and get uncomfortable.

Jen tells me you’re an artist
That’s right- I take pictures of disgusting things in beautiful backdrops – so, you know, like
fresh cat sick floating on a turquoise tropical sea; a rotting maggot infested goats head on a stick in stunning tulip fields
Oh, I see
Large sebaceous pustules on lingerie models, and open festering wounds ensconced in frilly lace tea cozies
Yes, I get the picture-
I'm not sure that you do. I'm talking syphilitic willies surrounded by orchids and birds of paradise playing in raw sewage. I have Art exhibit next weekend. Huge space, totally filled with my works alone. A single picture fills one entire giant wall: a defecating hairy butthole framed between magnificent dancing cranes. You should come. Ill put you on the guest list
Cool. Can I have a plus 16?

And now, today’s Fuck Off Sequences, brought to you by One Eyed Franks. One Eyed Franks - come on in and get uncomfortable:
-
I want to make a pie one day
What's a Paiwundai?
Really?
Yeah?
It’s a species of sub Antarctic barracuda
Oh, cool- wait, how do you make one?
Fuck off
-
I have this friend. She’s amazing. She can consume various vegetables, spices and stocks and piss out perfect soups
Fuck off
-
Oh my god. It was awful. I shat my pants I was so scared
That's nothing. Once someone else shat my pants
What?
Yeah, he made me pull them down then shat them, then made me pull them back up
Fuck off
-
He fell out of the 8th floor window
Oh my god, is he ok?
Yes, luckily he fell onto a massive marshmallow someone happened to have parked there
Really? Holy moly, that’s amazing—
Fuck off! No, of course he’s not OK. He's in the ER with a fractured skull and 8 broken ribs-
-
And those were today’s fuck off sequences, brought to you by One Eyed Franks. One Eyed Franks - come on in and get uncomfortable

Hmm, this apple is so tasty.
Choking sounds
Oh What now?
Really?
Oh come on, you can’t be serious
You gotta be choking!
Jam 21: Eyeball Milkshake
Excuse me, is your music vegan?
Of course, sir, all our music is vegan and fairtrade, well, except for the Swedish Hip Hop, which is vegetarian.

Machine sounds working to a climax
Did you finish?
Uhu
Cool. Wanna get some food
I could eat

Jake Samuelsson was standing on his porch with a cold one, reminiscing about the days his wife still waxed bare down there for him when bubba called about the dead rat in the pool pump. It was barely gone 9am but it was already as humid and hot as a possum in a pot and, and he still had to tell the kids about the layoff, foreclosure, and terminal diagnosis. Man, a Brazilian is a fine thing. A fine, fine thing

What did you do this weekend?
I broke into my stepdad’s house and took a shit on his prized antique chair. You?
Ate an old shrimp and had diarrhea
Now way! That’s what I'm doing next weekend!
Cool. I’m planning to wash my car before cutting my foot badly on a rusty pipe
*
So, Rupert tells me you’re gay
What, like repeatedly?
No. What?
Yeah. I’m gay.
Cool. So, like what kind of dicks do you like?
Excuse me?
I mean, you like them long, fat, skinny, straight, bent, veiny, uncut, mushroom like - what your style?
That's kind of weird, man?
You like black dicks?
Come on
Polish hammers? Latino Logs? You like em shaved, au natural, trimmed, or with them little bushels of pubes?
Seriously
What about ballsacks? You a long and droopy kind of fella or you like them tight and compact like bags of roast nuts. One testicle dangling lower than the other or perfectly even and symmetrical
Dude!
What? I'm just trying to make conversation. Trying to work with you here. I thought you’d like talking about cock and balls. Seriously, I'm starting to think you’re not gay at all!
*
Store bell
Welcome, sir. Just to let you know, everything in our store is hand made
Oh yeah? Not even foot made like in that store down the road? Or tongue made, now there's something. Then there's that little mountain shop I found in Cambodia last summer: everything-- all tiny delicate figurines made by elbow! Elbow! You ever tried tying a cherry stem with your elbows, Romeo? Or threading a needle with your knees? Didn’t think so - hand made! Pah! What is this, 18th century Cornwall?
*
Saw Jensens the other day
Oh yeah? I heard they named their newborn son Stinky Farts to prepare him for a life of conflict and challenge.
That’s right. Stinky Farts Jensen, right there on his birth certificate
Seems to be a growing trend. Give them a leg up on adversity right from the get go. My cousin named his daughter Contagious Warts and my friend Paul named his son Cat Vomit
Last name?
Falkovich. Cat Vomit Falkovich
I hear what you’re saying. In the last year alone we’ve welcomed Batguano Plague Martinez, and Ulcerous Growth Reddy to our neighborhood
And we’ve welcomed Festering Hole Williams and Fuckmaggot Latrine Jefferson to ours.
The world is going mad. Whatever happened to the good old fashioned normal names from our generation!
Don’t know. But I have to go.
Ok, see you Poopenhauser
See you, Eyeball Milkshake

What time is it?
Um, 3:85
You serious?
Yup
Oh, shit! I’m so late
20: Nargadooli
On Friday, June 10, 2022, Gerald Jones was astonished to discover that for some inexplicable reason everyone was calling the vegetable he had always known as nargadooli by a different name: cabbage (ca-beige). At first he thought it was a complex hoax but when everyone kept calling it that, even on tv he thought he must be going mad. Apparently, all the braised and stuffed nargadooli he had ever made was actually braised and stuffed cab-beige. Red, green, Napa and Chinese nargadooli were all kinds of cabbage instead. Even the doolislice he made with nargadooli and carrot, dressed with Mayo was apprently called cole slaw! How insane – how utterly mad
*
Mr Jackson, please come with me, I am placing you under arrest for murder
Murder?
Yes, the evidence is overwhelming that you killed Mr. Jacob White
Yes, but
Well that’s illegal
It is?
Of course it is
Even if the person is really really annoying
Yes
And acted really shitty to you and your friends
Of course
Repeatedly
Yes!
Oh. Sorry. Seriously I didn’t know that sort of thing wasn’t allowed . I thought everyone did it. My cousin Charlie did it like 5 times already and never got problems with police
Really? Do you have an address for this Charlie?

To outward appearances the Smiths were a rather vanilla married couple, but in the bedroom, where they dabbled with role play, things could get quite spicy. Today , for example, he was playing the role of a German doctor but a bad one who prescribed antibiotics for viral infections.
Yes, swallow this, and then, I will stick the finger in the poopshute- the longest middle finger, and all the way, maybe even with a little tickle- and now, open wide for the cod liver oil

God I hate metaphor. I just can’t stand it. It is the glass shard in my beef stew. the blue green algae in my favorite swimming hole
-cut him off will you
it’s the noose around my lyrical neck, I say, and I hate simile too, like a farmer hates long droughts.
-will some one cut him off, now!
And don’t get me started on analogy! Because I feel the same way about it as I do about commercials during movies on TV.
- for the love of god, man, stop this madness now or I’ll–
No, metaphor is torrential rain at an outdoor wedding, oil stains on a favorite dress, it is the
Gunshot
Dying sounds. I'm shot, most violently, like Oswald did to Kennedy, and Booth to Lincoln. So much Blood… My blood… it is thick as molasses, and opaque ruby red as a 1995… Lafite… Rothschild

I'm upset with you
Why?
You told Phyllis I drink all day every day and I resent that. I only start drinking at noon every day- never before
Jam 19: Boner Ape Tits
Just the éclair then?
Yea
Would you like a bag?
No thanks
Good, then that will be 3--
But could you put it in a basket in a briefcase in a bucket in a barrel

So, in conclusion: we anticipate a 2% increase in cross border traffic by Q3, and sales to double in the Nordics by the end of the fiscal year
And I think that that about ends the presentation. Any questions?
Yes: would you say you’ve eaten more cucumbers than the average man? Also: what are your thoughts on Katherine Heigl - and a follow up - how do you pronounce that last name?
*
And now, chants from the catholic priests of St. Inapproprio:
Will you help me with my robe, child
It is time for bathing again
We shall play our special game
It will be out little secret
Naked as the lord intended
We can share the tub, it’s spacious
Thy shall lather my back
As I pat thy tiny tushy
Adore thy blessed purity
We shall play hide the salami
*
Did you make a reservation for dinner tonight?
Yeah, at The Coy Aubergine
No, don’t go there. I always fight with the waiter, and besides, lately the champagne tastes like piss
Do the sandwiches taste like snot too?
What? Why?
Jingle: Don’t fight with the waiter at your local restaurant; he might soil your vichyssoise

What I'm trying to say is, family is the most psychologically challenging social construct we have at our disposal, offering countless complexities to absorb and attempt to learn from. Here, duty and affection, love and aversion, biology and ideology, all exist within their respective strained dichotomies struggling under the burden of an opaque emotional weight, ever wrestling the deep genetic imprints left by generations past.
Now listen here: I’m just trying to order a double cheeseburger, large fries and a Pepsi
Of course sir. My apologies. It was inappropriate of me to attempt conversation
And don’t forget the ketchup
Of course, sir. Your order number is 609. Please drive around the side for pickup
*
This food looks amazing. Let’s tuck in.
Yup, boner ape tits
What?
Boner ape tits
Boner ape tits?
Yeah. It’s French for enjoy your food. Boner ape tits. Dude- you gotta get some culture. It’s as if you live under sock?

And now, select scenes from the winner of this year’s Chevaux-Guttenburg Avante Garde Arthouse Film Award, Large Women Leaving, by Wilhelmino Rose:
(with accompanying off-kilter soundscape)
Sometimes there is an attractive staircase on the north side of the square, behind the church.
…Sometimes?
Yes, sometimes
She’s resting her head on my shoulder, comfortable. My back itches terribly but I do not scratch. Instead, think of crying children
Every three months he smokes for a day
Every three weeks she smiles, once, for 7 seconds
Of course, because it only feels shame for the shame it does not feel
That is why the man must wear two hats
*
How’s the store design coming along
Bad. The fitting rooms don’t fit
Jam 18: Hillbilly Ditty
Knock
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yes, Johnson, take a seat
Thanks
Oh, Not that one
Ok
Or that one - Take a smaller seat, will you - Smaller still. Actually, sit on that rubbish bin
Ok
Well, take the lid of first! And get your feet off the carpet
How, sir?
Just lift them – support yourself against the desk with your shoulder. Good, good.
Um. What did you want to see me about, sir
Oh, yes I almost forgot. You’re fired

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Raymond, your in-flight manager, just to let you know that we have reached cruising altitude and will soon be moving through the cabin with dinner service. In flight purchases are also now available though your personal touch screen. For your information, we are expecting some pockets of mild turbulence on route so we do advise you to stay seated with your seatbelt fastened. And finally: would the person with the incredibly stinky feet kindly put their shoes back on, immediately . I repeat: to the individual with next level toe jam so intense its making my eyes water as we speak, please, for gods sake, return your gnarly rotten stink feet to their appropriate shoes or none of us will make it to our destination alive. We are literally suffocating. Otherwise, sit back relax and enjoy your flight with us, and thanks again for choosing Parakeet Airlines

What did you think of the script?
Loved it.
Really?
Yes, it’s perfect
Oh wow. Great!
Yes, flawless! Hardly any notes
Oh I'm so glad
We’ll just make the family Filipino, move it all to Tulum, get a dead mom and uncle with testicular cancer in there and we’re good to go

So, Mary Lorraine went to the county fair with her friends for the weekend and I was left all alone at home. What was I to do? I already done fed the chickens and the pigs and done watered the beans and the corn, and done emptied the chamber pot, and it was only gone 8am. I still had the whole day in front of me. What was I to do? Well, I think y’all all will agree, I really only had one option? And that option was drugs
...
I was only gonna do one line
but I ended up doing nine
took some speed to polish my silverware
took some ketamine and cut my own hair
drank a bottle and a half of jack
and took those random pills I got from uncle Mack
smoked a joint to calm myself down
got lost in the yard trying to hide from those clowns
Drugs in the morning
Drugs all day
If I'm Alone at home
Ain’t nothing more to say
OK, The LSD was maybe a reckless
woke up later in a camel head and wedding dress
I'd only taken a couple of tabs
or maybe 6, I admit, my memory’s bad
I was in a pretty funny mood
maybe something to do with all those qualluudes
my watch said only half past noon
Just a perfect time, to eat me some shrooms
Drugs in the morning
Drugs all day
If I'm Alone at home
Ain’t nothing more to say
...Now hold on just a minute! Why is there and alligator in my bathroom?
Jam 17: CEO
Yeah, I’ll have the vegan sandwich, the beat fries with chipotle veganaise, a green salad with vegan dressing, and a hemp milk latte
Of course, sir
Oh, and serve it all in a freshly butchered yak carcass, will ya

It was during the worst storm of the century, with torrential rain and lightning striking all around, and winds of 150 miles an hour. I climbed a massive sheer cliff face, must have been a thousand feet tall, with no safety rope while venomous snakes struck out at me relentlessly from every crevice. I was been bitten at least 30 times. When I reached the top I fought off, with my bare hands, 200 towering warriors armed with massive swords, killing most of them. I must have killed tens of thousands of men in my life. The survivors took me to their leader with whom I drank 38 shots of local rum till he passed out, after which I made love to the tribe’s 24 most beautiful women, at once, satisfying each of them multiple times before allowing myself to finish. In fact eight of them committed suicide when I left, unable to face a future without me and my enormous and prodigious wang–oh, excuse me, I must go and greet that man. I’ve been trying to get a hold of him for 60 years. This has been one of the best conversations I have ever had but I must say good bye now.
Who was that?
Oh, that’s Gerald- he’s our CEO
CEO?
Yes, Chief Exaggeration Officer
*
Man, there’s like ten things I want to eat
Me too. I'm so hungry. We should definitely get like 5 starters and 3 mains
The salt and pepper squid and the Korean fried cauliflower for sure
Ja, and these mini brioche toasties and pulled pork empanadas too
They look amazing! – what you thinking for the bigger dishes?
These fresh ricotta gnocchi with burnt butter and sage are singing to me
I'm kind of feeling the duck confit
And fuck it, lets just get the whole deep fried sweet and sour fish
I'm so excited. I want to try everything.
It all looks so good. I'm so glad we found this place
So let’s go inside already! it’s freezing out here.
Door opens. Shift outdoor street to inside restaurant
Hi, Table for 2 please
Sorry kitchen’s closed

Welcome back. We are talking to enigmatic frontman Ben Cockdiggle. Now, before the break you were telling us about the Skinny Gigolo Tour. So, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t that the only tour the band did as Fister Quim?
That’s Correct, Dennis. And actually, we only named ourselves Fister Quim because at the time Muttsack was already taken. We were dead set on Muttsack but turned out it was a ska band from Bristol- and not bad at all if you like bad ska. Thereafter we renamed ourselves Crime Brûlée, then Fatlove and briefly, Illegible Child. For a period in the late 90s we pealed off and did solo projects, Jerry with Enjoy Measles, Glued Babies, and I Love You, But, and Franz teaming up with Guinea Pig Breach to go on tour with Primitive Ejaculation, The Unsmelled, and a host of other deepthroat jazz legends. Of course I still moonlighted for Schedula Oblongata on alternate Sundays, while teaming up with Endocrime and Just Like Hat to release not one or even two, but three soulful mid afternoon jazz mashups also featuring Shrimp Entourage and Exponential Sausage.
*
No, it was good, but the plot kinda–Oh, shit I made a stain on your chair. Oh my god. I'm so Sorry
Really? Awesome! I’ve been planning to do that for ages but just haven’t found the time! Now I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Thanks. You’re a star! Scratch that off my to do list
*
Hey, What did your mom used to do?
What, before she became a crazy coupon cutting stalker?
Yeah
Dietitian
Ah
Yours?
Before she became a paranoid recluse hoarder
Yeah
Court stenographer
Cool
*
How was the cake?
It was mm-mmm
Really, I thought it would be hmm-hmm- or even hmmmmm
No, definitely mm-mmm
Jam 16: Hit and Run Pooper
You know, you remind me of someone I used to know
Oh yeah?
Yeah, a grotesque and creepy pedofile who lived down the street. He had a weird lazy eye and a festering headwound that never seemed to heal and he stank terribly. Actually, you remind me of him a lot
*
Did you see the wedding pics?
Oh, my god, didn’t she have just the most stunningly Photoshopped skin
Took ten years off
If not more. And the eye and tooth filters
To die for. And isn’t it amazing how the photos relayed an entirely skewed version of events
As if it was, like a totally different occasion altogether
No crying or tantrums
No drunk drama or gross molesty uncles
No fist fights and not even one of the three stabbings
Wonderful wedding
Perfect on paper
And social media
Aye- for all appearances: a flawless joyous occasion
*
What’s your dog called?
Crocombuche
What an absurd name
What’s yours called then
Crème Patissier
Ok, I see what you mean

You know, when I was back at the beach house, I realized that my happiest days by far were the ones I spent with Pappy collecting fresh mussels from the rocks at low tide and cooking them right there on the beach on a wood fire - those were my happiest hours
My happiest hours by far were the ones at the local bar between 3 and 7pm when booze was 30 percent off and select beers were sometimes even 2 for 1

Thank you Jane. We are here at the pool of the George Hotel were it appears the hit and run pooper has struck again. At this stage it is unclear if the offender is a hotel guest, as once more the foul defecator has managed to evade authorities. This is the 10th such incident in the last three months, again involving a single lump of excrement, though it should be noted, of considerable length and girth. The pool has been evacuated as the turd is removed and the area sanitized but I have here beside me, hotel guest Mr. Primosh Calhoun who actually discovered the unwelcome fecal deposit.
Oh it was awful, I was entering the shallow area to swim my 20 laps of backstroke carefree as a baby bird when my toe brushed against something. When I realized it was an enormous shit I was shocked, I tell you, shocked
yeah, it’s the hit and run pooper
check it – dropping stools in the pool
You’re a sneaky bastard
leaving shits for all to see
in public pools Frequented
by families
yes you Empty your bowels
where others try to bathe
and create a situation
which is positively grave
we don’t know who you are
but we sure know what you do
you’re the hit and run pooper
and your actions are uncool
call it caca, dudu
dookie, crud or chocolate log
but that brown thing in the water
is certainly no frog
it’s a massive stool
a ginormous scat
its at least a foot long
and preposterously fat
so whoever you are
and/ whatever you’re trying top prove
we beg of you
stop shitting in our pools
Jam 15: Moonlit Shore
How’s it going, Manfred?
Terribly. My life is a bad joke told poorly by a drunk smelly man in an ill fitting suit
Great. I'm doing well too. Having a burger for lunch and watching the game - Go Tigers!!

(Car radio / Car acceleration)
Wait! Stop the car! (screeching tires) We have to go back. I forgot my favorite buttplug in the hotel. They don’t make it anymore! And it’s just perfect for me. What are you waiting for, man? Let’s go.
You got it! Operation Buttplug starts, right now (accelerates away)

Jesus, Larry, can’t you be serious just once in your life. I mean, you’re 42 for god’s sake. It’s time to decide what you want to do with yourself besides begging for attention with endless stupid jokes at every opportunity. Listen, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but someone has to say something. At some point, life begins to demand a certain level of responsibility and you need to start working towards that or you’ll be left behind, and you’ll end up old and alone with nothing to show for it. I only say this because I'm your friend and I care. But its time you got your ass in gear.
Wow, OK… Um… Was it called The Donkeys Big Red Bunghole?
*
Yeah, my brother just started his wellness app and he's--
Hey, I gotta interrupt you: do you want pancakes? We are close to the exit for the pancake shack and it’s important to make a decision now.
Um. Well. I guess
This is no time for guessing, Gerald. Yes or no… to pancakes– Yes or no?

Hello, can I get you something?
Yes please. What do you have?
Oh, today we are serving food
Ok. Great. I’ll have that, and my date, Gladys, will have the same
Good. Two foods. Would you like two smaller prefoods before the foods?
Actually, now that you mention it, that sounds like a good idea. Oh, And something to drink
Of course. I’ll get you both a beverage
A beverage sounds perfect. Doesn’t that sound just perfect, Gladys?

And now sounds of waves lapping at a moonlit shore while a broken man finally sits down with his kids to share all kinds of bad news from which they will never truly recover: Of course it’s not your fault my little monkey. Your mother didn’t mean what she said. She just needs a few weeks of rest now at a special hotel. Yes, we I still love each other, just not in the same way. No, we wont be able to visit her for a while, but always remember she cares about you very much. Everything will be just fine; you have my word. I'm about to close a big deal - the biggest one yet! Any day now. I can feel it. No, those men won’t call any more or show up at the door, I promise. We will have to move in with your grandma for a while and you will have to share a room with your sister just temporarily. I know it’s far away and away from all your friends. The operation has an excellent success rate. It’s just a standard procedure. Nothing to worry about. Don’t cry my little soldier. Everything will be just fine

What’s for dinner?

Hi. What can I get you?
I’ll have a sad piece of stale old bread with wilted lettuce and two slices of mealy tomato
Our special, then. Great choice sir.

As a 23 year old spray tanned douche, Sal Fantucci was sad one drunken night to realize he could never be an inspiring ovarian cancer surviving sky diving grandma gone viral. Sometimes, life is a cruel mistress
*
Say, Jim, I just had me a thought: we been sitting here on these here steps smoking every couple hours on the hour for going on 16 years and change and I never even thought to ask you a single things of any import or share in any way of my inner mind- my true self or truth be told, any place in the vague vicinity of my genuine self. For instance, sometimes I wonder what it must be like to love and be immensely proud of your arbitrary country of birth and lifelong nationality, marry your high school sweetheart in your local chapel, eat dinner with your aunts and uncles every Sunday, and so love the random dishes your grandma made – to respect your elders and actually believe that father knows best. Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
*
Any questions on the wine menu
Yes. Which is the best one to pour in your ear? What is best for blowing bubbles with a straw? Which one has the best empty bottle to sit on naked afterwards?
Oh, that would be the 2018 Chateau Poopoo
Excellent. We’ll take three bottles and two day old croissants
*
As I wait, I look at the picture of mom and dad from dinner last night: She with her perm and little round shape, he with his bald head and bloated, red face, each deeply stubborn, unable and unwilling to understand; and I think: why would they have had me? Surely, they must have known I would never amount to much, that I would live a tedious unrewarding life that fosters no joy. Its in the genes: I’ve already got her stolid shape, and I’ve heard his nervous laugh in mine. Why would they do it. I wouldn’t – never! Not if there was a chance the boy would end up like me, and really, how else could it ever be?
Grande mochaccino, extra shot
Yes, that’s me- thanks. Have a great day!

Looks like everything is in order. All that remains now is for you to sign 3 times- here, here and here, wipe this copy under your armpit, and poke yourself in the eye with this desiccated squid.

Hmm. I love your scent, what is it?
Oh, it’s Boudin boudoir from Pappy’s of Fort Stink
No way! Not the essence of navel series?
Uhu. One and the same
Oh, it's wonderful. It reminds me of uncle Ned’s special hidden place. Of a deep and murky woe. Of Saturday mornings in the drunk pen.
Yes, of a white Christmas filled with patricide and port.
Of a holiday romance gone tragically wrong
Of abduction far from home that destroys several families across multiple generations
Of lifelong addiction before dying anonymous and alone
Oh, isn’t it just the best!
*
That car is so beautiful
Oh please don’t say that
What. Why?
I’m allergic to adjectives- please don’t use them
What a silly man you are
Please! I beg you
I’ll have to consider that carefully
Oh, stop it!
What?
Well, I’m allergic to adverbs too.

Yes, what can I get you?
Oh, do you have Campari
But off course we do
Great. I'll have a Campari soda
Sorry we don't have Campari

You should have come, it was fun – oh, Belinda sends a hug
Really?
Yeah
You mind if I don’t accept it? her hugs are the worst. She clings too tight for too long and smells of banana

And now ladies and gentlemen, introducing my lover, liver donor, and best friend; my ingénue, deli man, benefactor and step grandmother; my tech support, surrogate, broken doll, and nemesis. They need no further introduction so without further ado, here is my trusted oncologist, labradoodle, and long time taxidermist; my favorite houseplant, financial advisor, and spicy pork loin baguette. Good people, may in present, my protégé, pimp and ashtray supreme: Photogenique
Hi guys!
*
I didn’t know your two were friends
Well. Not exactly. We have a very defined and finite and relationship. Once every month or two we get together, eat shrooms and play cards with oversized deck till dawn while badmouthing our mothers
Oh, I have the exact same relationship with my friend Gerald, except we take acid, play backgammon and trash our uncles
*
Oh, thank God you’re awake. I'm so relieved. But Jesus, Peter, how did it get so bad? What could have happened that you… to make you attempt to commit suicide?
Well, I’ll tell you - I had a David Guetta song stuck in my head and I just couldn’t take it anymore. It burrowed its way in there and wouldn’t get out and life just became intolerable. I almost ended it a few years ago with Despacito, and I just wasn’t willing to go through that again. I just, lost hope.

All rise. Court is now in session. The honorable J Gibron Gray is presiding. You may be seated. Case number 33504. The state of California vs Jimmy Grinns.
OK, young man. lets see what we have here. You stand accused of… poking your semi lubricated fingers into the bottoms of sleeping nuns, and of using the company credit card to keep 10 sex pads in 8 cities around the world, and keeping fixers on the payroll in each locale to ensure an endless stream of top shelf drugs, booze and punani. How do you plead?
Horny your honor. Horny and ready to party
Order. Order in my court. I’ll hold you in contempt !
You can hold my balls in contempt!
*
Hey, remember that time I grabbed your new iPhone X and threw it off that bridge- so funny. And remember that time I was really sick and coughed right in your face while you were sleeping before your big expensive non refundable trip to Brazil ...the one you’d been planning for years. Oh- and the time I sent your boss a dick pick from your work account and you got fired for sexual harassment and sued in court!
*
How you doing, Sam?
I’m ok. Life goes up and down. Things happen and my mood changes day to day
Mine too, but there’s a trick I use that helps me get by when I feel that way. It’s simple. Whatever’s going on, I always try to remember that ultimately life is shit
Jam 12: Stink Politics
Monday June 10, 2019, Ann arbor Michigan: Elmore Frink spends the whole morning and a good chunk of the afternoon worrying about the blood he saw in his phlegm and later, in his stool, till he remembers, with some relief, that he had a beetroot juice for breakfast
*
Come on. Lets go! We’re late
I can’t find my pants.
Maybe you left them around your other set of keys.
*
And now, from the team that brought you the global game show phenomenon Throw That Papaya - which has been viewed in 112 countries and territories worldwide including Sao Tome and Principe and The Vatican - a brand new game show of immense olfactory proportions requiring a deep familiarity with digestion, a nose for stench orchestration, and natural inclination for devious stink politics. This is… Sniff My Farts!

Listen, better make dinner at 6
Oh, is she dating an older gentleman?
Let’s just say he’s openly gray

(Shows phone) Hey, was she at my wedding?
Who?
She looks so familiar
Give me your phone. Let me see - That’s Hillary Clinton
Was she there?
Um, no.
You sure
Yes, I'm sure Hillary Clinton wasn’t at your shitty wedding
You positive
Yes Gerald. I know for a fact that only Bill and Chelsea bothered to show up.
*
Hey, Bob. How was your weekend?
Crazy. I went my friend Dorothy’s for tea, unaware she had just performed an abortion on herself with the antenna she ripped right off the TV, dumping the fetus in the toilet but not managing to fully flush it, so when I went to pee it was in there staring up at me with eerie eyes wide open.
No way
Yeah
I can’t believe it
I know
That people still have tvs with antennas (laugh track)
– Wait wait wait.
What?
I didn’t know your show was so political.
Eh. It dabbles- but mostly in devious stink politics

Here’s your 3 bean salad, sir— I’m desperately sorry we ran out of two of the kinds of beans
So you’re telling me it’s a one bean salad
That is technically accurate, sir.
So, that’s what my life has come to, then. A one bean salad …song:
I Got only one bean - not the advertised three
And not even a cool bean like cannelini
it’s a poorly dressed salad clearly made with little care
The only bean it offers is canned haricot vert
with the sad wilted lettuce and the lack of seasoning
you cant but to start to wonder about life and meaning
its pretty damn apparent that they didn’t even try
but I’ll eat my one bean salad, while I softly start to cry.

His email password is an entire punctuated chapter of a novel (including a few typos, and some sketchy syntax and plenty strained metaphor). It starts: Ben didn’t speak for a month after the operation; there was nothing left to say. In the summer, when the great fire destroyed the Southern Belt of Ladenswood, he left town to work in the mills, still crippled with the weight of a shattered heart.
I don’t remember the rest. So yeah, we can’t hack his mail

Yeah, so let’s male a plan about--You making that sound?
What sound?
That very loud rattling sound
You mean the helicopter? Um, no. No I am not.

Hear me good people. Hear me and rejoice for we are saved. a true warrior has arrived to protect our village and vanquish our foes!
What?
To defend our lands from pillaging and plunder
…Actually,
And our wives an daughters from rape and murder
…Excuse me.
He will decapitate our enemies and–
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt but I think there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding here. You see, I'm not a warrior; I'm a worrier. I worry about everything. Taxes. Floods. Wolves. Witchcraft and the woods. Oh, and the dreaded syphilis burn. I'm even worried I bought the wrong curtains for the den. They’re non refundable. Traded three flagons of mead for them, and good mead too. Must have been a mix up with the pigeon)

Had dinner with Taylor yesterday
Cool. Hey, help me set something straight here: is Taylor an old Jamaican lady with a wig or a Swiss teenage boy with makeup and a crazy hairstyle
Excuse me?

So, you want to get lunch with us on Friday?
Oh, no thanks. I can’t be friends with people who like friends.
*
We sit at the outdoor café opposite the fruit market sipping our cocktails in the late afternoon sun, watching people choosing mangoes and kiwis, grapes and melons, the old ladies squeezing one plum after another to check for ripeness, bringing peaches to nose and inhaling deeply to gather the scent of summer trapped within
I wonder how much old lady urine, ass crack sweat and boogers we have eaten in our lives, Gerald asks
Loads, I answer. Fucking loads.
*
Where’s she from?
Spain
Cool, I have a friend who has a friend who has a cousin in Barcelona
Great, and I have a pilates instructor who’s barber has a step nephew in Madrid.
And hHnk? Where’s he from
He’s South African
Oh really, my friend’s niece’s accountant’s boyfriend had his honeymoon in Kenya
Cool. I met a Tanzanian fellow once. At Costco. Lovely chap. Spoke such good English.

You just got back?
Yeah, yesterday on the red eye.
Quite a trip! What was that, 10 days?

Great! Did u visit jim in San Francisco?
No
And Jess and Alan in San Diego
No
Ben and Maria in LA?
No
Why not? They’re locals. They could have shown you around. They know all the good spots and have ins at all the good restaurants
Well, honestly, it’s because I hate your friends. Every single one of them.
*
Last night in the hotel bar I met a blonde in a miniskirt called Nikita who made it clear she was interested, so instead of sneaking around and wrestling with the morality of it all for weeks as I slowly lost control, I immediately left my wife and emptied all my bank accounts into Nikita’s, crashed my car, broke three ribs, stabbed a priest, got a face tattoo, and checked myself into a mental wellness retreat this morning
This way Mr. Anton
I just hope I’ve done enough
*
Excuse me. Am I supposed to drink my wine from this dirty box?
That’s what we do, bruv. Serve things in odd vessels. Pudding in the bottom of a massive kimchi urn without utensils, steak on a lumpy pillow, chicken wings in used dustpans, beef stew on a fly swatter. Is it the lint from an industrial dryer’s full day of use? No, look inside. It’s your croquettes, aioli and all. Just wait till your risotto comes in a unwahed boxers glove from 1912, ooh, and your chocolate peanut butter souprize—I wont give it away, but I will give you a hint. Nappy. Really full nappy.
*
What’s that?
A stress ball
What do you do with it?
You squeeze it?
And then
It stresses you out, obviously! jesus Marry. Sometimes I think you got meatballs for brains

Ladies night? Oh, no, it's rabies night. Free entry and drinks for anyone with the disease. You three, please step right in. Have a great time.

It was a moody Sunday afternoon. An old lady invited me in out of the rain and offered me some porridge type thing that tasted like horse semen - well, like I imagine it would taste – busteeeeed!!!
*
OK bye. Enjoy the rest of your day and drive home safely.
Man, who were those hideous old trolls?
My wife my mother my sister and my aunt
*
How was your day?
Amazing! First I found reduced price fruit in the supermarket! 30 percent off! And not only apples and pears, but cherries too. My favorite brand of laundry liquid is again available 5 gallon jugs, and what’s more, asparagus are back in season! Then, later, I saw my shoelace was undone and looked up to I find I was standing right beside the most perfect shoe tying ledge I’ve ever seen. A gorgeous ground floor window sill of impeccable height and width. I found a quarter on the floor, heard a wood thrush sing, and was offered free samples of delicious frozen yoghurt while waiting to cross the road. Life could literally not be any better
*
So, Debbie broke up with me
Bummer man
Yeah, now I have to find another ugly bitchy woman to treat me like shit every second of every day, spend all my money and take total advantage of me for years
You will, Gerald. I just know it

Half! God! Do I look like a barbarian
Jam 9: Unwanted Gifts
Hey, good news. I haven’t had a single drink yet today
Really? That’s wonderful. And it’s almost noon!
*
Two for dinner?
Oh, no thanks, just for a drink, but can we sit near the kitchen so we can smell the food
*
Hello, and welcome to Unwanted Gifts, with me, Ben Bitters. Yes, please give me another cook book I will never use. Look, there’s still a Couple of open spaces on my bookshelf. Question: ever heard of the internet, ya nimrod? Because every dish ever made is on there and rated, and you can skip straight to recipe. What’s next then? A pizza stone? Thai cooking classes? A star named after me? or stretch of highway I’ve sponsored in Tibet?
Just get him whisky, you nimrod. Always whisky!
*
So, How did it go?
I don’t know. She came with her one-year-old daughter and I couldn’t talk with her at all. It was impossible
Yeah, it’s really hard to have a proper conversation with a baby
*
Hey, get this, that dude eats grapes that still have pips in them
What a loser. Probably does the same with watermelon too
Yeah, and I bet he eats fish that have bones
Probably touches the tap to turn it on
And the toilet handle to flush
eew, gross, yuck
*
Are you finished with that?
Yea
You hardly touched it.
I know, it was just a little too big and disgusting
*
So, what do you do?
I'm a shorts renter - you know, for poorly packed trips to hot climates, you?
I’m working on a story in which a port-a-potty comes alive and lives a great carefree life until it learns to feel shame
*
(Baby noises)
There’s my little man! - Tell mommy you love her
Actually, can I get back to you on that . I’m only one and a half. I’d like some time to work out what this love stuff is. Seems too complex to commit to off hand at every opportunity. Too complicated for a shotgun answer
*
Oh, man, that sandwich looks good
Is that a fact
Well, as they say, we eat with our eyes first
Actually, we don’t eat with our eyes; we eat with your eyes
What?
We eat with your eyes. (demonic laughter)
Hey, what are you doing. No, get away from me. Get away from me! (terrible screams)
*
Have you met Allan?
Of course I’ve met Allan
Remarkable chap, Allan
Extraordinary fellow
Absolutely marvelous at navigating crowds
Isn’t he just!
And attracting the waiter’s attention
Just a wiz at extracting toast before it burns
He sets a damn fine table
And don't even get me started on his otherworldly knack for dressing appropriately on chilly spring evenings!
Gives me shivers, that does
Sensational light jacket etiquette
And thin scarf protocol
Wears the holy hell out of a waistcoat
And he’s downright gifted at stacking the dishwasher
Oh, the best I’ve ever seen
And when did you last see him leave food on his plate
Never! His portion management is sublime
Chorus: Allan, he’s quite remarkable!
*
Anyway, I’d like to thank you very much
You’re welcome. It was nothing
What? No, I was thanking Hugh. Thanks again Hugh!
You’re welcome darling
Jam 8: The Anti Stereotypical Show
OK, who was next?
Yes, what free drink can I get with the drink ticket I lost at a festival in Barcelona last year?
*
Excuse me, how much for the chair?
200
No discount?
No, why?
You have sale signs in all the windows
Yeah, windows are on sale, not chairs. Hey, wanna buy window? It’s on sale.
*
Good evening ladies and gentleman, I'm your host, Arturo von Lancelot, and this is The Anti Stereotypical Show. Tonight we have: 4 Japanese friends who will happily disrespect their elders, a South African who hates biltong and braai, a non speedo wearing Brazilian man who is apathetic to chunky butts on the beach, a middle class Korean woman who has never had plastic surgery and will giggle without covering her mouth, and finally, a French man who doesn’t like dipping his croissant in his coffee or inappropriate workplace affairs
*
Fresh produce, fresh produce: tasty and delicious, local and organic, get your fresh produce right here. Next?
Yes, do you have this type of fruit, I forget the name, but is kind of long and flat but also big and fat and fluffy and soft hard to the touch. It reminds me an overflowing toilet after a nasty number 2. It’s kind of like an old wet shoe that was left in the basement mixed with a deep sense of shame and just a whiff of overcooked tortellini.
Oh yeah, we got that right here, it’s called an apple
*
Whatsup?
I did something bad. Something truly awful
You want to talk about it?
No. Just wanted to tell someone
K
Great, I feel much better now.
Cool, wanna get tacos?
Hell yeah! I’m all over that short rib!
*
Alright, I'm going to go and have a quick shower
Okay, enjoy masturbation…Cue music

Seriously, You should do it now, before –

Yeah, I'm here
Good. It’s comforting to have you close by

Today in future news: The house sparrow and common starling are officially extinct. Human life expectancy has risen to 112 but with a satisfaction rating of -5.5 quambols per annum. And in a new survey from Mayberry and Levine (sponsored by Rocksnot Alpine Eco Mints) the average number of different cancers a person gets by the age of 38 has grown form 18 to 22, testicular having also been spilt into three further sub strains.
*
(Fruit stand)... Next
Do you have the vegetable- I forgot the name - it look a bit like an elephant ear and smell like old sock. I think is family of the other green one that remind a little a donkey ass. Like spinach but not leaf. Makes me think of an old paper bag crumpled on the wet sidewalk with a tiny bit of something brown and stinky spilingl from the front left corner.
Sure. You’re looking for seedless grapes. Right this way.

Come on, big boy, pull that monster out of your jammies and Call now to speak to a large lady with a yeast infection in a warehouse outside Bangkok. She is addicted to a type of industrial glue and has terrible hemorrhoids, but you don’t need to know that!

Welcome one and all to the open mic freestyle baby bird oolalaa whoop hey hey, because you know, its time to play.
A fat man in a diaper is knocking at my door. Again, I’ve read too much into a woman’s smile
She laughs like a forgotten clown, cries like sad walrus. This is the last generation that can con a worthwhile dream out of the world.
*
Can I pet your dog?
I don’t think he’ll let you. He’s scared of (ugly) heterosexual men
*
So you’re still single?
Yes, I don’t know why it’s proving so difficult. I just want someone to have caviar blinis and vintage champagne with on yachts on weekday mornings. Someone English who speaks Japanese with a Nigerian accent. Just someone to be mean to and belittle in front of friends. You know. Someone to like just a tiny bit more than I despise
Yeah, the good ones sure are hard to find
*
Here, you can have my ticket. I don’t need it
God bless you!
Ha! you crack me up with this god of yours
*
You remind me so much of a friend back home
Oh yeah?
Absolutely, the way you talk, your mannerisms, your face and smile
Good friend is he?
Oh, one of my very best friends.
Well, if you want, I'll hang out with you for a while so you can get a vicarious slice of him through me and feel that warmth of connection. You can teach me some of his sayings and habits. I’ll pick up on it quick.
You’d do that? That would be lovely, thanks!
*
He drowned
Drowned! Oh my god, what a tragedy!
Yes, I would have loved to have dived in and save him - I really would have. It’s such a pity the pasta was over cooked last weekend.
*
Did you see that guy with the funny hat?
With the weird face and the bunny slippers!
The guy with the purple hair, and huge earrings
With the pointy nose, tattooed face, flaming vest and mint green suede jacket
Man did you see that guy!
No. I dint see him.
Neither did I

You wanna come to the show with me. It’s a rather fancy affair
Sure, just let me just put on my coat and die

-That was great, but could you do it more like a thirsty MILF please
Excuse me?
Read the scene more like a thirsty MILF
But I'm a little boys pet guinea pig
Yes, but there’s a slice of thirsty MILF in there. I mean, there’s a bit of thirsty MILF in everyone, right. Now, let’s go, sugar tits, I haven’t got all day

Good evening, welcome to Unbelievable True Stories with Jethro Bambini
See this lady over here, well she had her right boob bitten off by a baboon – true story!
Also, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen was called Burpfart McPoopernelly. Really. She was.
*
You eat? Can I make you a sandwich?
Oh, no thanks. I had a Brazil nut and sip of hemp milk at noon.
So, that’s a no to the Tuna melt and fries?
*
Listen, I found out yesterday I can’t have children
Oh … wow …really…well…that’s…wonderful news! Congratulations!

Foot steps, door opening/closing
Ah, thank god for the musical interlude- about time too. now I can finally go do blow in the bathroom – see if there really is a difference between Bolivian and Columbian.
What have I got, 3 minutes? Jesus, what a shit show tonight. What am I saying? That’s every night. Crappy fucking production. Garbage content. Pathetic crew. Not a drop of talent in the lot of them. Bunch of tossfucks. Can’t believe I’ve been doing this shit for a decade. Driving me nuts. Look at me, Talking to myself like a crazy person.
Static.. Um, frank- your mic is still live
Oh, fuck!
*
Ooh, I love your voice- say, would you be willing to talk sexy for me on an audio project I’m working on?
Sure, no problem honey bun- ill talk sexy as hell on your dirty little project. I might even throw in some acapella (skat freestyling)

Oh, I drank it

Salt and vinegar
Barbeque
Cheddar and Chives
Sweet Chili
Ham and English Mustard
Kyushu Seaweed – come on!
Champagne Vinaigrette and Shallot – is that one even real?
Winter Berries and Prosecco – OK, I’m done. just give me my check.

Jam 2: Douchetart

Welcome back to cooking with Jake. I’m Gerald. Jake died last night. On today’s show: takeout
*
Hey, why you still wearing a mask? It’s not compulsory anymore
Oh, because I love to smell my breath recycled under there … Hmm, I ate garlic sardines earlier
*
Hello, I'm Filroy Banfoose and this is Preposterous Real Estate demands
Today, we are looking for
A simplex with a good lift
A room designed for little people but with a large space able to accommodate several giants
A seasonal live indoor beeswax acacia honey station
A corpse built into the thick concrete walls never to be found
A fireman’s pole sliding down all the way to hell
And German tiles made in Madagascar but packaged in Guatemala
… Let’s take a look at our first space
*
Wow, that old man walks like a little girl
That is a little girl
Wow, that little girl looks like an old man
*
Ready to order, gentlemen?
I have a question: what’s in the Juanita’s Nachos?
Oh, that would be home made tortilla chips, sour cream, jalapenos, refried beans, cheese, and pico de gallo
Hmm, ok, and what’s in the Juanita’s Nachos Grande?
Oh, that’s pork knuckle, sardines, mango, banana leaf and sand
Really? That surprises me. I would have thought it would have been at least a bit similar
No, not really, you douchetart
*
Hi Tom! How are you! How was your gap year in Peru?
Eh, I think I'm going to let movie trailer guy get this one…
He lost a leg and was deported but he met the love of his life because of it, so it was a good deal in the end. Tomachu Picchu. Now playing in a theatre near you
Wonderful, can you do one more while you’re here?
Sure - Just when the caterpillar thought life was over it transformed into a glorious a butterfly. And just when it was starting to love its new carefree life on the wing, it flew into a web, was bitten and wrapped up in silk, living out the rest of its life in paralysis while the spider slowly dissolved its body and sucked it up like a meat milkshake. Web of life, starring nature, spring and summer, everywhere every year
*
Man, it’s kind of embarrassing, but I was at a party last weekend and I shat my pants
That’s nothing; I was at a dinner last night and someone else shat my pants
No way
Yes. Really, and the crazy thing is, it wasn’t even a pant shitting party
*
(Ring ring)
Hey. Wassup?
Nothing. I only called to say I can’t talk now
Ok
Later
*
Hey, tell me about your new movie project
Ah, So, this is what we’re thinking: first scene, wife gets a call from the doctor telling her she has breast cancer, and that it’s spread to her lymph nodes - are we all following here? Cancer… In the lymph nodes. Then the husband comes home, says he’s been fired, and has lost the medical insurance. He asks where their kid is – thought he was with you! No, you were supposed to pick him up from baseball practice. He’s lost, maybe kidnapped by a sexual predator, or a crazy woman who can’t have children of her own, doesn’t matter. We can choose later, anyway. The rest we fill with the usual secrets, betrayals, lies, and revenge, before the fire burns everything down to the ground, all gone. Everything lost – Everything…lost! Oh, and everyone’s a snail.
*
Wassup dude. How you doing?
Not great. My uncle has dementia and my phone got stolen
Dude. I wasn’t really asking. A simple wassup will do. Geez. Learn to read a room
Jam 1: Whale Song
Whatcha looking up?
Recipe
For what?
Disaster
Cool
*
Ah, I have a great idea! Let’s have a massive picnic in a beautiful place in nature, and then just leave all our trash and plastic bags and beer bottles lying there
Yeah! Awesome! Woohoo!
*
Welcome back to Dada Supreme. Today, we’re going to paint the painter, and judge the performance of the judge. Before throwing some rubbish bins in the bin
*
And now: sounds of humans in distress while a whale swims freely in the vast deep blue
*
And, if you elect me I will ensure a two-week holiday twice a week, and bottomless ice cream bowls whenever you so desire. I will install vomitoriums in all public places including bingo halls, vape theatres, and commercial dungeons. But, above all, I will immediately revert the law that forbids cousins to root in the butthole. Are you with me?
*
Excuse me, are these vegan?
They’re potatoes, sir. Fresh uncooked potatoes
So? They could be dusted in beaver bile, or coated in gelatin. They could have been spliced with pig livers,
Sadly, Henry knew the smug little man was right.
*
So. someone farted next to me in the lift today
Really?
Yeah, right next to me.
Wow. Lucky you. It’s been so long since anyone farted next to me, let alone sat beside me in the bus vomiting into a clear plastic bag. I was just thinking about it yesterday. I miss it. It’s been months, maybe even years since someone sprinkled my flip-flopped foot with pee at the urinal, or shat their shorts near enough for me to catch a whiff or maybe even see a trickle of leakage down the leg. Been so long since I even found a beard hair in my falafel.
It will come, Gerald. It will come.
I know, but, well, I… Life has just been so empty lately. If someone could just hack a loogie onto me from a balcony on high, or sneeze onto the back of my neck, I could get some momentum.
I know, my friend. Just hang in there, and remain optimistic. I bet you’ll soon step into some junkie poop in the park, or get stuck in a small windowless room with someone with a terrible, uncontained foot fungus. In fact I'm sure of it.
Thanks, Manfred. That really means a lot
*
I’m sad
I’m sorry
Don’t be; it is the type of sadness I really like. A deep melancholy inextricable from love, that reminds me that things are important and fragile. I appreciate it when it comes, even if I sometimes cry.
Aaaw. You want a hug?
God, I’d love one.
*
OK, thank you, no questions, but miss Fumicillo does have a brief statement.
Thank you. Uhu. We humbly ask you to respect our privacy during this difficult time. My husband is a good man who just made a mistake and he can count on me to stand firmly by his side. Yes, I want to clearly state that I fully support my underage pussy eating, buttock biting, rectum ravishing husband and believe in my heart that he will never again stick his penis through multiple anonymous glory holes while snorting coke off teenage titties - because he promised me, and I believe him.
*
What is it doctor? Tell me, please
I'm afraid to say you have dung cancer
Dung cancer?
Lung cancer! Sorry, I have a terrible cold, but, listen, I have even worse news, because it appears to have spread to your wimp nodes
My wimp nodes?
Oh shut up and work with me here. You might be dying, but there’s nothing wrong with your fuckin ears
