Eric is joined by co-hosting friendo Nick Rutherford to talk to longtime pal Blake Anderson. Of course, they start off the conversation with vasectomies and lead to Blake's infamous press tour story that took place via satellite. Bagels and TMZ have never been the same since that interview. Plus, stories about blacking out drinking Malört in Chicago, living in a rat infested home, and an insane story from an ayahuasca retreat. Blake ultimately shares the story of jumping off the roof and breaking his back.

of the premise here.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's basically.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
These heights scene how to get over trouble or how
to do.
Speaker 2 (16:03):

I'm sure in just a couple of hours. And we
apologized for the language.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Right there, and we do these interviews and usually the
stars are pretty polite there, and that was totally out
of our control and we do apologize.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So yeah, I thought since it was just like local Cincinnati,
maybe it would just like I ended up getting like
a text from because Adam Devine was doing Mike and
Dave need wedding dates in Hawaii. I ended up getting
a text like, hey, this is Zach Effron. Just watch
your interview. It's the best thing I've ever seen in
(17:58):
my life. I was like, oh no, this is gonna
go everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't. It's like it's pretty on brand though. That's
works movie is called dope, dope, So.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I guess the like happy end of the story to
do this, So Sony was not pissed at all. They're like,
oh okay, Like this was great for press. We had
a viral moment like I'm expected to be sort of
this fuck up wild. So it really brand.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
It really did that, and she will she will.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
With Adre Withdre.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
What about bomb on stage?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Bombing on stage? I've done a few, Like me and
the dudes used to do sketch comedy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And what's the most wasted you've been on stage or
in public?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was kind of recently when we took our. We
did we did a tour. We did a tour for
our podcast This is Important. We did like a thirty
city tour and the second date was in Chicago at
the Chicago Theater and I I like the first dates podcast. Yeah, yeah,
(19:27):
we don't have any prompts or anything. We just bullshit
the whole time. And the first date we did in
like Boston was awesome. I'm like, damn, this tour is
about the rock dude, it could get fucked up. Just
go on stage, feel all good. We went to Chicago
and you know they have that drink alert. Yeah, yeah,
I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Street condoms.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, I took a bottle of that on stage with
me and you bottle. I didn't pound the bottle, but
I was hitting it during the audist like it's like
a proof, Like, yeah, I don't think it's that fine alcohol.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think it's like I think it was made in
Chicago by a European immigrant like one hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I like this.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I think this is it and it was like supposed
to be in tomorrow. But it's so bitter and the
taste is so awful and it's so cheaply made that
it makes everybody throw up. But I don't think it's
like a proof. I don't think it's like ever clearer
moonshine or something I assumed it was. Like I think
it's high enough. I think it's like high enough. It
is like it's like sickening.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You do it like as a dre now you got
to drink, yes, exactly, Yeah, it's not that a water
bottle you bring on steak.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, no, no, no no. And I guess, I like,
I guess you know we're doing the park. I guess.
I didn't talk for like fifteen minutes straight and of
course it's a podcast, so if you need to talk, right,
the guys were like, Blake, you gotta say something. I
was just like, so that was I mean, it wasn't Terri,

That'd be tough.
Speaker 2 (27:23):

Speaker 1 (27:24):
So you don't remember them together, not really. Their marriage
was a bit of a bomb.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, that's so you're like you basically came into this
world after a bomb.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Okay, My life is a series of bombs.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That's what this podcast is all about.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
With Aridre.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
With Aridre, I heard that work of hauling sound is
what Adam told me. That you guys lived and shut
the house for the first season, which is like disgusting.
Martin Scorsese famously says, never let a crew in your house. Oh,
I know, it's against like disgusted. Yeah, and he said,
(28:13):
Adams told me the house is so nasty that you
guys had a rat infestation and like you and him
would like spray rats with for breeze and whack him
on that heads and ship.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's the night of many kills. It was like one
night where we were so sick of rats like being
in our house, that we brought the fight to them.
We had to end up going into like the the
attic and we just found like a hub of like
baby oh yeah, baby rats, keep resetting the trap over
(28:44):
and keep you just hear it goes. We just watched
TV here the Clacks so Bhymader. We couldn't afford.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It, well Sacks.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, it was not cashed, and we didn't know
how long and how successful the show would be.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So it's like we'll do it ourselves.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
We'll do it ourselves. It was really weird. It was
a trip because you would get like woken up by
like a pa, like literally out of here.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's a good idea. You want to sleep.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Because Comedy Central was paying our rent like we did,
and you were so broke at the time, You're like,
fuck yeah, we were rent free. It was it was
kind of like everything. Yeah you guys like Vane, I
remember that. It was it was cool house. Yeah, you
came over for.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Class.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We would like rehearse bullshit scenes together in the house.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
That's where I didn't believe him about where He's like,
I'm doing a show and we're going to do in
this house. I was like sure, yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
The other thing was is we had filmed the whole season,
but they were waiting to premiere it on the back
of a south Park, so we had to wait for
South Park to have a new season for us to
come out. So we had to We told everybody like, yeah,
we filmed the whole season. A television year went by.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
They're like, uh, in your house, Yeah, U with that,
but you just keep delivering pizzas, okay in South Park.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
This show that's notoriously very slow to make.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a process, but eventually
we got off the ground.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So what was this Night of the Thousand Rats?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That was just like we just we were invested. We
had an infestation, like it would be so it would
be like I have a chick over in my room,
you know, and you at night you would hear my
door was like in the hallway, you would literally hear
the rats trying to claw into my room.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And you're just like about that, Yeah, this is she's
my theater rats. Yeah, no, it was. It was a
(31:08):
dark time.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
This lady that was an emergency room, an e R
nurse I met at an Ayahuascar retreat. I was like,
what was the mozz gnarlely that she lived? She worked
at a hospital in East New York, which is a
very very rough part of New York City, and it's
where Mike Tyson's from. And uh, I go, let's give
me a gnarly yer story. She goes toe. There was
this lady that came in. She was very very old,
(31:31):
geriatric lady who had she had had diabetes for some reason,
little to no circulation, and her feet, her feet were
very swan. A rat broke into her house and ate
her foot like while she was alive, and she was
so old and decrepit. The rat almost ate the whole foot.
So she just came in. This rat was at.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Since yesterday. Okay, I'm gonna take a little doggie bag
bold rat. That's crazy. That's kind of like, that's crazy
because she was still alive.

Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
About people when they die and then like their dogs
like eat start eating their dead body and stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:17):

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I mean it was. This was after the work Ahogs House.
Me and Adam weren't done being roommates together.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's also crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, We're like, we gotta keep living.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Studio.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's like, if we combine our income, we could get
a really cool fucking house. Yeah, So we decided to
go rent a crib and Holly, yeah he still is
to this day. I love that guy. So we got
our super dope crib in the Hollywood Hills and we
were throwing a Christmas party, like fucking everybody showed up,
(33:47):

Sean White's there, fucking mindy kayling.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Life.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah, all of a sudden, like all of odd future
rolls to the party New Yeah, and I was like
obsessed with them. I'm like, I've seen their videos. I'm like,
these guys are so fucking cool. They're all probably not
of legal drinking age, but there was definitely a lot
of drinking going on. And we had this beer pong
table that Comedy Central had sent us for like promotion.
(34:22):
It said, like workaholics, this beer pong table. And there
were kids up on the roof of the house or
the odd Future affiliates, and one of the kids was like,
I'm gonna jump off the roof onto the beer pong table,
and everybody's like, yeah, do it. Do it. He gets scared,
He's like, nah, never mind. I'm like I'm at the
my house party. I'm seeing everybody with jazz. I'm like,
(34:45):

that stuff. Go on the roof. I'm like, here we go.
I've done. I did like backyard wrestling as a youngster, so.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
You still got a little bit in it.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I could take it off the top rope. I ended
up jumping onto the dive. It's just about it was
like not even that high. It's like twelve fifteen feet.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
It's pretty significant.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Well, the thing was. The thing was is I was
gonna land on the table, so I'm like, it'll kind
of like inform my body to fall, certainly. But this
fucking table was so like cheap and paper thin that
when I landed it on it with my feet, I
went right through it like it was a piece of
paper and I just basically just like stood straight up.
(35:32):
It just hit like yeah, it was just like speared
if you just jump like straight. So that made my
whole spine kind of compact.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
In the in the moment where you like rushed to
the hospital like right then or did you know?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
So I'm like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Not hurt, but I'm like I'm cool, like you know,
you don't want to be like party one. So I
ended up like walking up upstairs and I'm like I'm
talking to Flying Lotus because I'm like i want to
DJ next, you know, and he's like, okay, well you're up,
and I'm like noticing when I'm talking to him, like
I'm hunched over.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
He's like, so I'm like okay, and I like try
to stand up straight, and it like the pain was
like a violin screech, just like and I was like,
oh shit, I fucked up.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I'm gonna just go to bed. But I was still
so like, you know, partying, so I'm like in pain.

when I woke up in the morning, it's still hurt,
very bad. Oh no, so called the ambulance and oh no, Yeah,

defend them. If I'm a father and you can't be fathering,
it gives you time.

These heights scene how to get over trouble or how

Right there, and we do these interviews and usually the
stars are pretty polite there, and that was totally out
of our control and we do apologize.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So yeah, I thought since it was just like local Cincinnati,
maybe it would just like I ended up getting like
a text from because Adam Devine was doing Mike and
Dave need wedding dates in Hawaii. I ended up getting
a text like, hey, this is Zach Effron. Just watch
your interview. It's the best thing I've ever seen in
(17:58):
my life. I was like, oh no, this is gonna
go everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't. It's like it's pretty on brand though. That's
works movie is called dope, dope, So.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I guess the like happy end of the story to
do this, So Sony was not pissed at all. They're like,
oh okay, Like this was great for press. We had
a viral moment like I'm expected to be sort of
this fuck up wild. So it really brand.
Speaker 4 (18:32):

Speaker 3 (18:41):
With Adre Withdre.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
What about bomb on stage?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Bombing on stage? I've done a few, Like me and
the dudes used to do sketch comedy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And what's the most wasted you've been on stage or
in public?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was kind of recently when we took our. We
did we did a tour. We did a tour for
our podcast This is Important. We did like a thirty
city tour and the second date was in Chicago at
the Chicago Theater and I I like the first dates podcast. Yeah, yeah,
(19:27):
we don't have any prompts or anything. We just bullshit
the whole time. And the first date we did in
like Boston was awesome. I'm like, damn, this tour is
about the rock dude, it could get fucked up. Just
go on stage, feel all good. We went to Chicago
and you know they have that drink alert. Yeah, yeah,
I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Street condoms.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, I took a bottle of that on stage with
me and you bottle. I didn't pound the bottle, but
I was hitting it during the audist like it's like
a proof, Like, yeah, I don't think it's that fine alcohol.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think it's like I think it was made in
Chicago by a European immigrant like one hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I like this.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I think this is it and it was like supposed
to be in tomorrow. But it's so bitter and the
taste is so awful and it's so cheaply made that
it makes everybody throw up. But I don't think it's
like a proof. I don't think it's like ever clearer
moonshine or something I assumed it was. Like I think
it's high enough. I think it's like high enough. It
is like it's like sickening.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You do it like as a dre now you got
to drink, yes, exactly, Yeah, it's not that a water
bottle you bring on steak.

course it's a podcast, so if you need to talk, right,
the guys were like, Blake, you gotta say something. I

So you don't remember them together, not really. Their marriage
was a bit of a bomb.
Speaker 3 (27:29):

world after a bomb.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Okay, My life is a series of bombs.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That's what this podcast is all about.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
With Aridre.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
With Aridre, I heard that work of hauling sound is
what Adam told me. That you guys lived and shut
the house for the first season, which is like disgusting.
Martin Scorsese famously says, never let a crew in your house. Oh,
I know, it's against like disgusted. Yeah, and he said,
(28:13):
Adams told me the house is so nasty that you
guys had a rat infestation and like you and him
would like spray rats with for breeze and whack him
on that heads and ship.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's the night of many kills. It was like one
night where we were so sick of rats like being
in our house, that we brought the fight to them.
We had to end up going into like the the
attic and we just found like a hub of like
baby oh yeah, baby rats, keep resetting the trap over
(28:44):
and keep you just hear it goes. We just watched
TV here the Clacks so Bhymader. We couldn't afford.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It, well Sacks.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, it was not cashed, and we didn't know
how long and how successful the show would be.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So it's like we'll do it ourselves.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
We'll do it ourselves. It was really weird. It was
a trip because you would get like woken up by
like a pa, like literally out of here.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's a good idea. You want to sleep.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Because Comedy Central was paying our rent like we did,
and you were so broke at the time, You're like,
fuck yeah, we were rent free. It was it was
kind of like everything. Yeah you guys like Vane, I
remember that. It was it was cool house. Yeah, you
came over for.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Class.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We would like rehearse bullshit scenes together in the house.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
That's where I didn't believe him about where He's like,
I'm doing a show and we're going to do in
this house. I was like sure, yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
The other thing was is we had filmed the whole season,
but they were waiting to premiere it on the back
of a south Park, so we had to wait for
South Park to have a new season for us to
come out. So we had to We told everybody like, yeah,
we filmed the whole season. A television year went by.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
They're like, uh, in your house, Yeah, U with that,
but you just keep delivering pizzas, okay in South Park.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
This show that's notoriously very slow to make.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a process, but eventually
we got off the ground.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So what was this Night of the Thousand Rats?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That was just like we just we were invested. We
had an infestation, like it would be so it would
be like I have a chick over in my room,
you know, and you at night you would hear my
door was like in the hallway, you would literally hear
the rats trying to claw into my room.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And you're just like about that, Yeah, this is she's

This lady that was an emergency room, an e R
nurse I met at an Ayahuascar retreat. I was like,
what was the mozz gnarlely that she lived? She worked
at a hospital in East New York, which is a
very very rough part of New York City, and it's

little to no circulation, and her feet, her feet were
very swan. A rat broke into her house and ate
her foot like while she was alive, and she was
so old and decrepit. The rat almost ate the whole foot.
So she just came in. This rat was at.

because she was still alive.

to this day. I love that guy. So we got
our super dope crib in the Hollywood Hills and we
were throwing a Christmas party, like fucking everybody showed up,

rolls to the party New Yeah, and I was like
obsessed with them. I'm like, I've seen their videos. I'm like,
these guys are so fucking cool. They're all probably not
of legal drinking age, but there was definitely a lot
of drinking going on. And we had this beer pong
table that Comedy Central had sent us for like promotion.
(34:22):
It said, like workaholics, this beer pong table. And there
were kids up on the roof of the house or
the odd Future affiliates, and one of the kids was like,
I'm gonna jump off the roof onto the beer pong table,
and everybody's like, yeah, do it. Do it. He gets scared,
He's like, nah, never mind. I'm like I'm at the

I could take it off the top rope. I ended
up jumping onto the dive. It's just about it was
like not even that high. It's like twelve fifteen feet.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
It's pretty significant.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Well, the thing was. The thing was is I was
gonna land on the table, so I'm like, it'll kind
of like inform my body to fall, certainly. But this
fucking table was so like cheap and paper thin that
when I landed it on it with my feet, I
went right through it like it was a piece of
paper and I just basically just like stood straight up.
(35:32):
It just hit like yeah, it was just like speared
if you just jump like straight. So that made my
whole spine kind of compact.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
In the in the moment where you like rushed to
the hospital like right then or did you know?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
So I'm like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Not hurt, but I'm like I'm cool, like you know,

ended up like walking up upstairs and I'm like I'm
talking to Flying Lotus because I'm like i want to
DJ next, you know, and he's like, okay, well you're up,
and I'm like noticing when I'm talking to him, like
I'm hunched over.
Speaker 8 (36:13):

to stand up straight, and it like the pain was
like a violin screech, just like and I was like,
oh shit, I fucked up.

I'm gonna just go to bed. But I was still
so like, you know, partying, so I'm like in pain.

when I woke up in the morning, it's still hurt,
very bad. Oh no, so called the ambulance and oh no, Yeah,
