With The Sports Junkies back in studio (all except for Jason Bishop), they haven't wasted any time making up for lost time from the pandemic.
At times, they're getting a little too close for comfort. As was the case on Monday, when EB pestered Cakes into submission for assistance in plucking some long, gray scragglies from his eyebrows.
Cakes tried putting up a fight, but it ultimately took EB all of 18 seconds to bully his co-host into feeling up his face.
EB: Look at these two hairs I have on my eyebrows. Do you see there's one straggler that's just huge?
Cakes: Yeah, it's definitely white, too.
EB: Can you pull that?
Cakes: No, no. I'm not.
EB: Just pull it!
Cakes: No. You pull it. It's your hair. I don't need to pull your hair!
EB: I can't see. You pull it. Pull my hair out!
Cakes: That's just gross. I'm touching your face!
EB: No, just touch my hair. Just pull the hair. Pull the hair.
Bish: Why can't you do it?
Cakes: That's gross, man. I mean do you even know if my hands are clean?
EB: I don't care. I don't care!
Cakes: God, this is gross! Let me roll up my sleeves, here. Dry my hands.
EB: I'm gonna get up close.
Cakes: It definitely needs some tending to. Alright. I feel like I'm playing Operation here. Alright, come here! I don't like doing this, by the way.
As EB leaned over within reach, Cakes remarked, "It definitely is shaped like a question mark. That should be on Matthew Lesko's suit!"
Cakes was a veritable one-take Jake in helping out his rapidly decaying pal.
Cakes: I got it! I don't know if you can see it. Look at that! Look at that! You see that? It is hur-ting. Look at that!
Valdez: This is the grossest radio ever. Ahhh. Ahh, Cakes. Ew.
Cakes: I told you, it was gross!
Bish: Cakes will do anything.
EB: I noticed, Cakes, I don't know if I slept weird on them or something...
Cakes: What do I do with this thing?
EB: Just leave it there. Who cares? It's just hair.
Cakes: Ah, it won't come off my finger now!
EB: It's like a pube on your finger.
Cakes, who only a minute earlier was adamantly opposed to participating in this radio unfriendly act of masochism, was ready for more.
"Alright, where's the second one?" he said. "We're past the point of no return, here."
What a vomit-inducing way to kick off a week of radio. If you've read this far, you're just as much of a pushover as Cakes.
Or you're a depraved creep like Eric Bickel who takes his closest friendships for granted.
