Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to This Is Important, a production of I Heart Radio,
the show where we only talk about what's the most important,
bottom line, critical thing happening on this planet today. On
This Is Important, I'll shave my head to be Mr Freeze, though,
I'll tell you what I think. It's because I dude

(00:21):
to be horny. I've gone from a house husband to douchebag.
Let's go this. This chewing is brought to you by

(00:42):
pro Meal bar Pro bar Meal. Oh my god, you're
such a hot boy. Now, oh my god, you've changed.
I have? I have? I literally changed my shirt. Okay cool.
My favorite thing if I am watching an old Workaholics
episode is to see us chewing food. You know what what

(01:03):
I'm talking about. Like someone just flew around like little
half grilled cheeses or something. We're like, let me get
one of those real quick, and then like action and
were like, um, dude, we gotta go. We're still drunk
or whatever it was, and you can see like like
tonguing food out of the back corners of our mouths,
like all right, dude, let's go. I love how totally

(01:25):
unprofessional like on any other set, Like no other set
am I truly holding upsides and looking at it as
they're going rolling and and then hiding it like underneath it,
underneath your ass if you're sitting down, which we did
all the time. On would be like, we're literally like

(01:46):
looking at it, looking at it. Well, we had those
drawers at in the cuban motor about me. He'd be like,
uh and then action. What was cool about our desk
at the cubicle as you could just pull it open
and hide so much in their snacks You have like
four fucking fizzy waters in there, like did I, oh,
I gotta just finish one of these. There was so

(02:06):
much ship in our desk drawers and there were metal drawers,
so you're you put your phone in there and then
every once in a while and just be like and
then you pretend like, god, I'm so sorry, guys, hang on,
I'm so sorry. Yeah. This was Adam's ringtone. Adam, I

(02:27):
think you got a text. Oh my god, I think
your mom just sex? Did you You know what I
was thinking the other day like sexted me. Let me
ask you, guys a question on a scale of just
sex did on a scale of one to ten, how
serious are you about this? About this career about about

(02:53):
this podcast. No, I don't know about like acting, because
I remember like basically this, basically this by Ever said,
I'm on okay, almost regardless, I'm having a good time.
I'm never serious having a good I'm having as much
fun as possible. I'm not like taking it too seriously.
I feel like you can still have fun and be

(03:14):
serious about your career because I don't want to do
anything else for the rest of my life, and I
don't want to do anything to jeopardize that or fuck up.
That don't mean, I guess I don't mean like focused.
I mean, like, haven't you been on set with people
who are just like serious anthony taking it way serious? Yeah,
And I'm not like and there's nothing wrong with that,

(03:35):
but like or even doing like um like press, like
the junket stuff where like you sit on a couch
with a co star for five hours, but we are
like if you watch our like press interviews, we were
notoriously fucking terrible together. We're a mess. But but now
that we've done it separately with other people, I've sat

(03:56):
next to people who like earnestly answered the questions about
their character, and I'm like, Okay, we'll see the thing
is and I'm like, I'm glad that they're getting Emmys
and stuff, And I'm like, is that what it is?
You have to like really take it seriously. You do
have to play the game if you want to win Emmy's,
because they won't. Just I wish Kyle was here to
talk about it, playing the game. He's not playing the

(04:19):
game well enough. Oh yeah, but bitch, I think you
do have to play that game. Because it's the what what?
Who votes for the Emmys. It's like you have to
be the Academy. Yeah, but it's not the Academy. Is
the Academy Award? You know? Voted for me fucking Take
your Shoes Off podcast? Ricks Glastman sent me a screenshot

(04:42):
being like, I got you, dog. They can vote for
the Emmy's. You have to have been nominated. I think
I don't know. I'm not what it was. You have
to be asked. I think none of us have been asked.
Rick Glassman votes, but he's been nominated because he was nominated.
His show was not dominated. Yeah, what was the datable

(05:03):
No no no show where everyone has Aspergers. It's a
great show. Love with Asberger's Love on the Spectrum. This show,
I feel like it's saw that thumbnail. Okay, whatever that's
I mean, by the way, dope, that's dope. He's very
funny as we see it, as we see and you

(05:24):
should watch it. It's on Amazon. It's really really good.
And Rick he's very fun phenomenal on it. Um. That's
why I think he gets a vote. That's why. But well,
well now we are we getting into Emmy talk like
five weeks later because I'm like, dude, like legitimately, okay,
because I'm already gearing up for next year. Yeah, well,

(05:45):
shout out to Kyle for getting there. That was sick.
I wish he won. He should have won. That show
is very funny and what they pull off his dope.
Oh dude, I was jealous of of that. You and
Kyle went to that night before the Emmy's party. That's
always part. But I missed him. I missed him. You
didn't see him there? What the fuck? Man? He left? Ear?
He went? Yeah? He went there, ate all the all ate,

(06:07):
all the snacks and bales, and I like every photo
I saw of him that night he's just like eating
like soup. I'm like, what do you you go there?
You get every tidy snack, which admittedly so do I
those little fucking snacks they bring around. If you don't
eat all the little snacks that they bring around, you're
you're a fucking asshole. You then you then you're definitely

(06:30):
the type of person who is really serious when you
answer every question about your silly show. Here's a great
behind the scenes of my life. Um, whatever night that
was Sunday night, Yeah, give it to us. Um So
I'm like, hey, Isaac our manager, Um, I haven't gotten
any information about the car service to take me to

(06:50):
the party tonight. And usually like it's all set up.
You get a car they bring you and like that's
a driver for the night. What did this bozo do?
And he's like, that's weird. Didn't rs VP for me?
And I'm like, uh, we got a sitter. Emma just
got a hair blown out. I have like a fucking
suit hanging in my closet ready to go. Like she

(07:11):
has a dress that she's ready to rock. I'm like,
we have a dinner, dinner reservation beforehand we're going out.
Please figure this out. A whole night, bro, We got
several children. It was it was touching go for a
little bit and then uh, he made it happen. So
so you got in shout out to Isaac or Cia
for actually making it happen, because I think the same

(07:31):
day shout out to your agents who actually made that
that call fun. The same day I texted Isaac. I'm like, Okay, yeah,
I think I'll pull up. I think I'll pull up,
and he's like, list is closed, and I'm like, how
would Isaac ever know that? And then all of a sudden,
so I touched it. Why didn't you Why didn't you
just commit? If you were asked to go, why didn't

(07:52):
you just commit? It's a have you ever been to those?
Partne super fun? They're super fun, everybody's there and you
end up knowing a bun to people. And then and
then there's always always like people that you're like, oh,
Larry David's right there or that, Yeah, no, I've been
to a couple like there's Jamie Foxx or whoever I've
been to. Whatever they were, they were actually like very

(08:14):
fun and like you do you do, like do a
lot of good networking. That one I was like, oh man,
that's what it's all about for blazer Blake is the
network king no, I should be. I need to be,
but like, uh, like I was kind of like, oh,
I won't know anybody there, but then I started to
see like Sashir was there, Kyle was there, Dirs was there.

(08:35):
Like I should have just pulled up. It's our class now.
I mean I kind of go there and I'm like,
I like all these people. I've met them, I've known
them for ten years now, I've worked with some of
them or like admired most of them, and like I
I have, I walk away from it being like, this
is like our class. This is cool. I like these people,
but maybe we're the bad. But that's a good way

(08:56):
to look at it, because I remember the first time
I went. I think I was invited because honestly, I
think it was because of like modern family and ship.
And that was like probably like ten years ago, yeah,
and like really early on, and I remember being like
a little overwhelmed, like not really knowing a ton of people. Yeah,

(09:17):
uh you know, kind of like Corner and the two
people I did know and be like and we're best
friends all night tonight. Yes, that's what that's the move. Though,
it's always Joe McHale, It's always true. Uh, and then
the last couple of times I've been I haven't got
to go for the last few years because I've been working.
But it's it's it is cool because you're like, oh,
I know all these fucking people. Yeah, and the and

(09:40):
they come around with little grilled cheeses and little sandwiches
and little tacos with like crazy little mango relishes on them. Yeah,
I fuck up. I remember like going to the I'm
not sure whose party was. Hey, by the way, even
if you had told Isaac that you wanted to go
up anyway, so I don't don't beat yourself nothing. I

(10:00):
remember going to one where it was like I think
I just broke down super hard with Lily sing, like
we were just like taking shots together and it was
like crazy. It was like, Yo, we're like best friends forever.
You just see people you never know. What's cool about
those parties is like I remember it was like a
w M E like our agency or my agency w

(10:24):
M party, and it was just like me, Liam Hemsworth
and Miguel the singer. Yo. Macguel is our guy, by
the way, he loves coffee in the morning and then
we just we're pounding shots. You don't know and just
had the best fucking time. I think you were you
were there, right, Blakey, I think you're at that party. Yeah,

(10:46):
And Miguel is like the guy he's actually super sick.
He's coffee in the morning. Is that not the fucking jam?
Are we? Are? We back on bitchfork? Honestly the most
I know Miguel, And I'm sorry, Miguel. If you're listening
and this you don't like to talk about, it is
your viral video when you straight up like leg drop
that chick at your concert. He tried to like jump

(11:11):
from like stage to stage and straight up league drop
like logan leg drops the girl. What does the leg
drop like? You just laying on someone with your leg
when you lift your leg like that and just put
it on them like like on the back of their extory.
I guess yeah. Like it looked like it hurts like

(11:33):
a motherfucker, But let's play. Just can you get a
little migal coffee real quick? He weighs like he weighs
like a hundred and twelve pounds. It didn't hurt that bad.
The guy's a very slight man. By the way, if
you're listening, just know this. If you meet Adam, he
will put his arms around you, pick you up and
guess your ways. It's just the thing he does get
you get too many tequila shots in me. That's not wrongui,

(11:57):
seeing we went off. Another thing another thing that we
that I think that we did early on, which I'm like,
I'm glad we did it, but now I'm like, oh,
we shouldn't be getting that drunk at these type of events.
Is we would always go to those type of events
and be the drunkest people there, like just and you're

(12:18):
the last ones to leave, like closing it down. Be
like what do you mean you're closing the bar? And
they're like, well you've been here for four hours at
the bar is closing. It's the next day, No, dude,
It's crazy, Like even like der's you Like you saw Lionel,
Like Lionel is like kind of like a he was
kind of like deep cut odd future dude, but now
he's on the bear and like he's always been such

(12:40):
a homie to me. He's like a great rider. He's
put me like as a voice in all his cartoons.
Like so it's just sick, Like when you said you
ran into him, I was like, damn dude, Like I
should have just pulled up. It would have been fucking
cool dude. And he, by the way I was, he's
like the next generation. There's a bunch of young people
there now in bro all right, bring the baby man

(13:02):
Roman the little papoose? Is that a word? Pappoos? That's
just a rapper you papoosh bro deep cut deep cud bro.
Uh So did you did you have funders? Funders? Did
you have hunters? It was did you see fifty Cent?

(13:24):
I got there right after. That was what was super
sick about that night. Fifty cent performed, right. It was
like Snoop Dogg and fifty Cent, Right. But so this
party is usually sponsored by a few people who kind
of throw it all together, and this year fifty cent
was one of the sponsors, and so he performed, which
was amazing. And I guess Snoop Dogg got up there
with him. Did he performed Candy Shop? I wasn't there,

(13:46):
but I wish magic stick, that's Adam's favorite. I do
love magic stick. Did he bring out all of g unit? Yeah?
I don't know. I'm sure it went off, but my man,
my man, at this point, my manager was still uh,
trying to finagling. Then I get there and I'm like,
this is how famous I'm not? Because then I get
there and people are like we were just next door

(14:07):
and came in and I was like, Okay, that works out,
worry about it. And is the Emmy's Is that when
do they have the the like big Netflix parties and
the HBO will have a big party and the night
of like after the Emmys. Oh so that is the
the Emmys as well? Is that right? Or is that? Like?

(14:30):
I mean, I don't know. I guess FX had a
party the night before the Emmys because that Kyle was
that before he came over. Um, and I believe Lionelter hyo,
that fucking motherfucker. Where is that still? Stuck man? Probably
he's probably at a party. I want to hear his
perspective of this. It was cool man, you know, like
shut up, Oh yeah, the bitch did he went to

(14:54):
the Emmy's right, Yeah, Like he pulled up. How come
he didn't take any photos in? He didn't pull up?
He was invited, he he went. He had was wearing
a tuxedough you know you didn't just pull up? Yeah? Man, man,
by the way, uh I know you guys are wondering.
My show did lose Inventing Anita and I when we lost, Wait,
you were nominated. I forgot you're in that as a

(15:17):
show in I have. I'm gonna be honest, R's I
have not watched it, but I heard you're fantastic in it.
Is that true? Have you been talking to about mom again?
I'm in it. I'm in it. I'll tell you that much.
I'm in it. You don't do much. Uh, we had
a good time. I'm in a little bit of every episode. Yeah, okay,

(15:40):
you kind of drop in Immittedly, I I watched the show.
I did like it. I wanted more drors. That was
my big that we all do. That we all do,
and I think T I I nation will agree. We
want more drors in everything. And I'm glad that you
you were getting a little bit stuck in Uh. Your
roles were like the house husband that kept they kept

(16:02):
man or you're just a cute which is wild like that, well,
because it's everyone's fantasy to animal cage. A cute house
husband's a little little scruffy doing dishes, walking around, chopping
up carrots, you know, just doing like Beard is a
little hairrier on one side of his face and the
other little beard. But you know, you know he could

(16:24):
shave that and get get called sexy and good may
or may not have eyebrows for sure. Yeah, what's up
with that? Branches? I've gone from a house husband to douchebag? Yeah?
Those are your two that that you play really well?
I kept a kept man, yes, or to hey, you've

(16:47):
brought your keys? You? Yeah? What's up with that? Honey?
Looking for these? Alright? Had a good day? God damn dude,
you know, yes, what is up of that? See? And
I don't want a different character for you. I just
want more of that and don't forget, don't forget dinners
at five o'clock. All you need to do, Durs is

(17:09):
play that exact same role. But then like the twist.
The twist is that like you're like a gamp or
something and you're like just like a weird like I
who got wird ship? All you need? Blake? Pause? What
do you think gimp means? I'm saying like you wear
the leather mask like pulp fiction gamp bring out the game,
but doesn't gimp. Gimp is what I am A guy

(17:31):
who's always limping, who's constantly hurting himself. I'm a gimp. Sorry,
I'm referencing pulp fiction. Bring out the gimp. I'm saying,
like like flat, dude, yeah, Like he's the guy who's yeah, dude.
And then all of a sudden, now we got a
little edge to the character, don't we. Okay, so you're

(17:53):
a keptman who's very kept, super in the box, like
your your wife who works for a newspaper. It just
has you changed to a bed coverages editor in chief.
She's did in a box and Blake. Wouldn't it be
more of a turn if I was like the nice
guy who then like goes to the basement and opens
up the trunk and you're like, okay, wow, he's a man,

(18:16):
so he's gotta keep this person kept. It's a whole cycle, yes,
And all of a sudden, it's a season three of
you and then the guy in the box he has
a ferret in a cage. Dude, I'm down for that. Okay.
So the you're like, hey, I'm cutting I'm cutting carrots, honey,
and then she as soon as the door closes, shopping
off to go to the You go to the basement

(18:37):
and you're like, Okay, you put your carrot, you can
come out now. And this is a different show. I see.
I see that for Dirt. I think, uh, well, that
that is the sort of progression. He's like the house
he's been after Workaholics. You were kind of the kept man,
the house husband. Yes, and then I did some boyfriend
work and then and then you don't say yeah you did.

(18:58):
And then you did like some kind of dickhead type
rolls which you're great at, a crush at didn't rolling,
just a total natural at those. And then now I
feel like you have to be you think he's a
kept man, a house husband, but then he ends up

(19:19):
being a serial killer. I would watch that the full
thumb up, the dick hole kind of guy. I would
watch that movie. What's weird is I feel like we
all have to flip how people think of so like Adams, like,
just like, you know he's going to be the basically

(19:43):
remake Fear. Remember how you pitch that you're basically Mark Wahlberg.
I still would like to do Fear. Yeah, that would
be hilarious. He's like the you're so hype that the
daughter is dating him, and he just goes crazy like
the best, and then I would like to also, I
would love to pitch myself. Is like, I'm kind of
like a stoner, but I'm also keeping again, right, I

(20:09):
feel like I would love to see Blake, like for
real serious as like a wet haired, white trash like
small town pimp right who's like, it's not even like
a nice pimp. He's kind of like an all business pimp.
And Sean Baker would direct it, the guy that did
the Florida Project, Yes, Red Red Rocket, he would get.

(20:32):
I feel like he could get something which I never saw,
by the way, that was Simon Rex, this movie where
he was the ex porn star right, Red Rocket. I
didn't see it. And I love Sean Baker. I think
he's so fucking talented. Go watching watching and Rex does Rex.
Rex is like in there, but we I think we
covered this, but like everyone's like, oh my god, have

(20:53):
you seen Simon Rex in this movie? And it's like, well, yeah,
have you seen any other Simon Rex movie? Like this
is the dude brings the goods? Yeah, it didn't even
make it. Is that the next Academy Awards or was
that the ones before that? Was the last one last year?
It didn't even make a peep. What do you mean
didn't even make it pee? Well, he wasn't nominated for
the Oscars, but he would win the Spirit a War.

(21:15):
That's all I want. I want a Spirit Award. That's
all I want. A Spirit Award really my main award
I want. I don't want. I mean, I'll take any award,
but I'm not like Jones and I'm not I'm not
really gunning for any awards other than like, if you
win awards, that just means you're going to you're going
to work longer. Yeah, you're gonna pop off bank. You're

(21:35):
going to get more work and probably a better caliber
of offers because you just want them. Yeah, if you
don't win awards, you got to do a podcast and
you've got to really fucking just go up. Like the
well said Blake, you have to do a podcast and
just go up. Yeah, that is true. That is how
to navigate it. Um, So, so you haven't won any

(21:59):
award or so how are you going to navigate your career?
I'm just gonna go up, bro. Okay, alright, alright, how
are you going to do that? I'm just gonna do
a podcast and go bro yeah, alright, alright, yeah yeah, okay,
on and next and okay, next next on the red carpet.

(22:22):
You can go, you can go. We're gonna actually try
and talk with Army Hammer. Really, we gotta have you,
so your your whole idea for your career is just
to do a podcast and go up, bro, you know what,
We're gonna go talk to Army Hammer. Cameras off, He's

(22:42):
eaten a plate of what appears to be slices of bacon.
I don't know what is that. By the way, how
about this experience on the Red carpet. We're like, you
go to your like doing a legit publication, legit publication,
like getting interviewed, and then you go you're like, alright,
like Cleveland Tornado News, sure, and like you can tell

(23:02):
that they don't have their ship together, but you're like whatever,
I'm here, I'll do it, like let's go. And then
mid interview you just see them eyeballing, like another more
famous person next to you, and they're like, uh, like
wrap it the funk up, and you're like, what you're
not gonna get that guy, I'm doing you a favorite
Cleveland Tornado News. Then you wrap it up and then
you watch the more famous person just passed them by

(23:24):
and they're like one more thing. Actually, um so then
now you want me Tornado. Was there any like COVID
weirdness or people are just off that? Oh, here's so
this was Emma's observation, is that Emma, yeah, people are
off it. But she was like, I don't think people

(23:45):
know how to talk to I don't think people know
how to talk to each other anymore. Yeah, no, it
sucked us up. What do you mean, like people are different?
And and as soon as she said it, I was like, yeah,
people just seemed off their communication game. My conversations were weirder. Well,
I think it's people who didn't leave l A because

(24:07):
I've spent so much time in the South. It's been
so normal down there. I don't I don't know what
you're basing that on, because these are people in the
industry who I'm kissing may or may not have left
because that's nothing happens in l A anymore. True, Well,
it's weird. It's weird that they wouldn't know how to
talk because I feel, at least in Charleston, it feels
like every everythings are just back to normal life. Back

(24:30):
to reality, back to Yeah, I don't know, it was.
It was a vibe that just was like, yeah, I
wondered that because l a Is it's a weird place now,
I still love l A. Grand It definitely like the
pandemic hit it in a way that it hit no

(24:51):
other place. Maybe New York continue yet to go back
to New York. I don't even know what New York
went through. Holy sh it. I just think they took
it more serious than any other place. And the residual
effects of that, like the like you're saying, people don't
know how to talk with each other, It's just people
don't know how to communicate. All that weirdness that came
from like not seeing people for all of and bleeding

(25:14):
that into and on have made people socially offer yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Just a lot of your talking points
are within the industry, so like the fact that like
nothing was happening, maybe there's not much to talk about.
I don't know those parties and we're bad, but things
have been happening for the last two years. I haven't

(25:35):
I haven't been home for like, I've been a home
a total of this week. I'm home for this week.
This will be eight weeks since, so that's a naked grandma.
But even like the when you get invites to these places,
they still have notes that are like we're taking like

(25:57):
COVID protocol, Like it is still a lot. I've been
strong in Los Angeles, like it is not over. It's
like insurance policy. It's just and it's like like, all right,
we want to insure the party. And then also like
kind of show that we're still caring about the people
who care um, which is cute. That's very cute. Yeah,
it's weird. It is a little weird because I'm like, so,

(26:20):
although I got a homie who got COVID last week,
but did it fuck him up? Did he die? Your friend?
By the way, Blake, by the way, Blake, what have
he had? And you just rolled into it like right,
but did he die? And like yeah, but did he die?
He did? Actually? I know. God, I don't even want
to talk about COVID no more. Ever again, I just
don't even want to mention it and I don't even

(26:41):
want to see it in the email. You can, you
can do what you want to do to feel safe.
You can wear masks. I'm not mad at it. I
actually feel you know, some people look at people with
masks and you're like, fucking idiot, like you can't get
it outside. I've come to them like that person. I've
come to the place where I'm like, I feel bad
for anybody out there rocking a mask by themselves alone

(27:04):
walking outside, because I'm like, oh, they're like trapped by
their own fears. Yeah, yeah, you're missing, you know, outside
of people who are genuinely have like a thing where
like if they get COVID, they know their fun. Well,
some people it's like you live with your grandparents or
you're you have what you live with your your grandma,

(27:24):
you live grandma or whatever, and they can't get COVID,
you know what I mean, naked grandma would be on
but man, but you know who could you know who
can get COVID? Is there? The board is dead? But
who who board is dead? COVID? Oh my god, put
it on the ventilator, right. But when I see people
still supermassed in a place where like you don't need to,

(27:47):
I'm kind of like, bummer, bummer that you're that living
in that fear, living in a nightmare. I'll just do it, like,
don't worry about it. You're living in a nightmare. Uh.
That's how it kind of was. When I was in
Germany is people were so afraid to get like cast
members and people that I'm there, like producers and stuff.

(28:09):
We're so afraid to get COVID that no one really
wanted to go do anything. They didn't want to be
that guy because they're like, well, we don't want to
shut production. And I get it. I totally get it.
But also I was being that guy. I'm in the
show's called Bumper. I play Bumper. I'm in absolutely every scene,
and I went out every weekend and I was like, Bumper,

(28:30):
I might get COVID, and that is that is part
of it. That's part of it. Now, Bumper was the thumper.
You might get COVID whatever if you want to, but
I'm not not gonna not go have a life. At
this point two years in, I'm like, I'm gonna I'm
gonna go. And then, by the way, you get COVID
and then you're in the clear for a few months.

(28:51):
So production secretly is like great, perfect, awesome. Yeah, they're like, hey,
the first week you get out here, go crazy because
we're started production in two weeks go to all the
fucking weird nightclubs, Grandma, go to those nightclubs where people
are just like fucking in the corner with wearing gimp
masks or whatever. Blake's secretly sucking a bunch of grand

(29:12):
naked Oh sorry, man, I was listening, Uh face fucking grandma.
Well that's cool, that's I mean, that's at least it
wasn't like a full on mass event. But that that
party is outside on that grassy area. It's outside on
the grassy at allwhere it was good. It was good, missed,
but that would have been nice. Yeah. If you didn't

(29:33):
see that, then I don't even really think you can
consider yourself as going. Okay, I didn't go. Yeah, you
didn't go. You weren't, almost didn't, almost didn't. Got to
check the check the star meter, see where I'm at.
I don't know. They that's how they let you. And
as they look at your star meeter, they're like, okay,
four thousand was Army Hammer. And if you're listening now,

(29:54):
if you listen now, there's something called the star meeter
on an app called IMDb Pro. We're essentially and I
don't know how they do it, but they rank you
from one to whatever. The fucking thousands of people there
in this business, and if you're like number one on
the star meter, like the Went, I don't know who
it is right now, but it's like if the Rock

(30:14):
just had a movie come out, it's the it's always
a female for whatever reason, I think. I think, uh, ok,
not always, but I think it's because, like, dudes be horny,
but we don't know the why. We don't know. The
thing that makes the it's who is looking you up
the most. The more people that look you up on

(30:36):
IMDb on IMDb, so the more people that are looking
that's the place guys go when they're horn Yeah. Photos,
I'm gonna say no, because they go, they watch a
movie and then they're they're like, who's that fucking hot ass, babe?
I mean the rocks up there. Because also gay guys

(30:57):
be horny too, and the whole gay dudes aren't looking
at gay guys horn Yeah, guys to be horny too, dude,
I don't know, I don't know. I'm telling you I've
been around some gay dudes and they they be horny.
They slide into my d M s uh and maybe horny.
Oh yeah. It goes down and you're claiming the rock

(31:20):
is is desirable in the community to gay men. Yeah,
I would say, I wonder if he's the most I
don't think he gives off a vibe. I don't think
he's got that. He just doesn't. I don't either way
women or men. I don't think he's like an object
of sexuality. He's too a sexual. Yeah, men want to

(31:44):
be him. Women want to be him. Like, have you
ever seen him kiss anybody in a movie? You know?
He doesn't have to? I think I have uh sure,
I mean, for sure he has to kiss people in movies, right,
I don't think he has. You stop, He's never kissed
anyone in the fifty movie. I guarantee he asked. No,

(32:07):
I saw it. I'm gonna google images the rock kissing
that ready, Yes, he's kissed. He's kissed the rock kissing images.
We've all Hey, everybody on this zoom has uh kissed
in a movie before? Okay, I'm looking at this. Apparently
he did it in Jamanji, but it was like a

(32:29):
comedy bit where he's like licking her face or something.
Oh that means and then that means he that then
he just doesn't that's like a thing. Yeah, I don't
think he does, because every other picture is like from
real life. It could be an agreement with his wife.
Some men don't kiss. He's married, Yeah, he's married. Yeah,

(32:50):
it could be an agreement. Some men don't, um you know,
they say like, I won't kiss. Who's our guy? We
had our guy and he didn't take off his wedding rank.
That was just scene. What's our guy's name? Who's in game? Over? Man?
Who played the like the main bag at Neil McDonough,
Neil mcdonnald, thank you. Yeah, yeah, he said none, that
was this thing, and I respected. I respect. That's cool, dude. No,

(33:13):
I'm gonna give you a list of ten things I'm
not about to do. No, I disagree. I do not
think it's cool. I didn't think it's I'm like, I
respect it. I go, yeah, okay, fine, if that's what
you want to do. Yeah, yeah, sure you're not gonna
go up. You're sure not gonna go Hey, you're not
going up. You're not going to get a podcast and
go up. But but yeah, I'm like, as an actor,

(33:37):
your character might not be married, like if your character
if you're playing it like a fucking jigglow or something,
and you demand to wear a wedding ring. Sure, say
go ahead. You know you're or you're like, for whatever reason,
you just went through and your character went through a
divorce and he's back out on the scene and that's

(33:59):
your character in the movie. Yeah, you're to have the
wedding ring on. I think you you you play the
character that you're you're paid to play. Yeah, you're paid
to play, right. I think that this people in this
position don't take those roles. They don't take those roles.
I think they passed on those roles. And I think
he's talked about I'm gonna seek out glow roles. No,

(34:19):
we we know as soon as you said and I go, cool,
I know where you're at. I think that he passes
on those roles and it's probably lost out on stuff
because he's a good actor. Um, And I mean yeah,
I just saw him cool man. What's it called the
Captain America the other day. I was like, oh, yeah,
this dude's been in everything. Take a stand. What do

(34:39):
you take a stand on? Blake, I'm trying. You're on
your way to go up. We'll cut the hair, cut
the hair unless you make unless you make me one
never had. I have a necklace kind of where I
can go. Yeah, I got a necklace that can go
hair saves. I'll shave my head to be Mr Freeze, though,

(35:00):
I'll tell you what that's what it is, Okay, Matt Reeves, Matt,
if you're listening, Yeah, Mr Freeze is is where you
draw the line. Yes, that is what I will do
it for. I've thought about it long and hard, and
if you want to cast me as Mr Freeze, I

(35:21):
will shave my head. What about like teenage Lex Luthor?
Mr Freeze only did Lex Luther have long hair? So
like for for real talk if you want to if
you want to go up, well then I'm in the podcast.
It does back, It does back you in a corner
your hair. I know, what do you want me to do? Though?
What do you want me to do? Say it? At
the same time, I don't want you to do anything.

(35:42):
I'm fine, I'm fine with you. That's why I'm playing
the similar roles. But I think you would get other
roles different for them if you didn't have the hair
that you currently have. I like your hair, but if
I could this sounds like a soundboard thing where you're like,
I like the soundboard it, I like the southing your
voice goes up, and that lets me know that you

(36:03):
don't actually like. You don't think I like your I
like your hair, I like the soundboard I do that
lets me know you don't actually like I do like
the sound forse No so that you will never cut
your hair ever, your hair means that much to you
unless I get Mr Freeze. They're not going to give

(36:25):
you Mr Freeze. How do you know? Why? Why do you?
Why would you say? Because they don't know what you
don't like? Adam, I'm sorry, Adam Victor von Fries, Adam
Victor von Fries. Hey, yeah, I guess that's his name. Sure,
come on, dude, Blake, have you thought about doing like
c g I headshots with different hair to be like,
this is what it could be. Do we get you
to follow me on a staff? I don't know if

(36:46):
I like. Do we get you on Nathan Fielder show?
The rehearsal love to I Love Nathan, and we plan
on you cutting your hair and we go through every
possibility of what your hair could look like. This is
a great pitch. This a great with a full on
haircut and just a full on rebrand the rehairs. I mean,

(37:07):
Shaun White did it. He was the flying Tomato, that's true.
And then now he's he's all he's all trim and
and properly. He's so handsome. Now, what's going on? How
did he do that? Dating? My friend Nina dough Broth
shout up? What does the hair look like when it's
not perfectly combed? I because it seems like it's a
lot of work to always have it that Blake would

(37:27):
be And Blake is already so hot with that hair
that what if what if he didn't have that hair?
Would he be even hotter to some women? Some women
he would be. It would be a disappointment because they
like those long long question quick quickly, this is and Blake,
this might help you make your grandma figured out? Make
your grandma? Is that flying Tomato had allegedly very kind

(37:49):
of kinky, long, curlyish hair, correct, Grandma? Do we think
he chemically straightens his hair? Now? No, his hair is
not long enough to curl? Is it his hair? Is
it just is combed back? No? No, he cut his
hair completely. He has short hair at this point. I
think it's it's I mean, it's just combed back. No,

(38:10):
he cut his hair, dude. I was talking out with
him a few months ago, and it's it's it's it's
it's like, yes, okay, so but so, by the way,
if Blake's hair is that it's long, it's a poof.
It's a poof. It's an afro. We just posted my
soccer picture. That's what it does. Yeah, but that's when
you were a child. Your hair changes. My hair is

(38:30):
much curlier than Seaun White's hair. You do realize that.
Look at this nest. Okay, but I'm just wondering. His
hair looks very straight at that. That is not what
Sean White's hair kind of Blake. No, no, no, no, no, no,
come on. I wish I could relax these curls, but
I can't because that's what I'm saying is like chemically

(38:51):
perm that I would like to see it. I think
I've seen that before when you've had it straight iron
or or flat? What it flat ironed? Is that what
they called? Yeah? Yeah, which is actually I like that look.
But it's just okay, so it looks like Snoop Dogg
when he was going through is like dog father face
his hair was very curly. It's not as curly as mine.
There's no I don't know how to Shohn White's hair

(39:12):
is not as curly as mine. But I'm just gonna
say it was very very wavy, wavy, not curly. My
ship is curly. Alright, Okay, all right, So you're saying
you truly will never cut it unless I'm Victor Von.
The thing is you those roles because people don't see
you in that like might be Victor Von. This wouldn't

(39:33):
need to cut your hair, and then people would go, oh,
Nick Graham, now he fits that that role or whatever.
You know. Um, yeah, I get yeah, man, I guess
I'm down. Whatever you guys want to shave my head
on pod or what? Yeah, yeah, I would. I would love.
I mean, I love your hair. You want to. I
feel like I can't. The cause of diarrhea, I mean,

(39:58):
is this I feel like I can't. Okay, If I'm
ever going to cut it, it has to be after
the WORKHX movie, correct for sure? Yeah, I mean, we
can't do the movie. You can't wear a wig in
the movie. There's too many hair set pieces that exactly
we're going to put about the hair So do you
think as soon as we wrap Worcoholics, you guys shave

(40:19):
my head on camera and be like, end of an era.
Hey Henderson is dead. Well, I think we would have
to do a big live show that the herronin. Do
you really think it was an era of hairra that's funny.
That's the end of the end of a hera. This
is important live end of the hera, end of a hera.

(40:39):
I want to do I want to do this so bad.
We just got to figure it out. It's schedules be wonky.
Speaking of speaking of schedules, I'm gonna leave in five minutes. Really,
do you guys want to keep going without me? Or
do we want to wrap it up right down? Yeah?
I think we we wrap. I don't think it's gonna
be the two of us. I mean that could be fun. Yeah,

(41:02):
I think so D has places to be. Yeah, I
have to. I gotta go jump in the plane, like
I don't want to. You know what, now that we're
starting to do work on the Dismount, I don't want
you to think I dislike your hair. Okay, I like
your hair. Look at Sean White's hair. Look at Sean
White's hair. In the chat, Beir, I'm none of none
of this even factors into any of my life decisions.
I'm not I'm not taking anything you say at all,

(41:26):
in at all, I know I remember you saying that
back at that, like when we were wrapping up Workaholics,
you were like, yeah, maybe I will, maybe I will,
and then you that's been five years ago, and yet
you didn't. Do you think I haven't and you have?
Do you think anybody's gonna like take the risk of
like casting Blake against type, because let's, let's face it,

(41:47):
like that's a prejudice to be like, well, there wouldn't
be a lawyer with hair like that? And like, couldn't
there be a lawyer with hair like that? Today? I
auditioned for that Little Lawyer Wily Coyote movie. If that
is that, it's not little, it's gonna be a huge
smash hit without us. Will Forte got it, and I
am now all of a sudden I want to see it.
He's a fan. Although I explained the movie to my

(42:09):
eight year old and he goes, wouldn't that be better
as like a short sketch? And I was like, wow, wait?
Was was Will at the part? Wait? What is the
what is this movie? I don't know anything about this.
It's Wiley Coyote versus Acne. And so it's like, oh
my god, we're allowed to even talk about it. Yeah,
it's a movie they're making. You guys didn't have to
you didn't sign a confidentiality agreement or I don't know, somebody,

(42:30):
I don't know. I don't know if. But the essentially
like he gets hit by an anvil or something, or
he's constantly you know, he's constantly getting hit by these
things made by Acne Acne. So then he sues Acne
and it becomes this huge class action lawsuit law movie
that's fun about cartoons and like a shitty lawyer I
think did funny and and so you are just to

(42:53):
be a voice when you need to play the lawyer.
Both of us did oh okay. So it's and then
it's action with It's like Roger, It's like, it's like, okay,
So that's my thought process. Immediately, I'm like, lawyers don't
have this hair at all? Why you even the funk?
Am I doing this? Like lawyers? No lawyer looks like

(43:15):
me zero percent? Right. I bet there's a lawyer that
looks like you probably the coolest lawyer ever, The d
U I The d Lawyer, and that is a whole
another movie. That's a whole another movie. By the way,
why don't you just write the d U I Lawyer
movie Yourself out of serf Lawyer to get yourself out

(43:35):
of the box. Blake was the funniest board drop board.
I'm I feel like you're reading too much into my

(43:57):
voice inflection. He's like the board. Okay, well, people are
talking again. Could I gotta lead into the chucks and
the gigs and the bills flex Okay, there's go on
and get out of here, man, Adam are gonna just
kind of have like basically like the Walking Dead. But
we talked about after what is it called the talking pop?

(44:21):
He left, He left, and there were two takes, any takebacks,
our apologies, this is the saddest moment in our pot.
And then there were two Okay, well I would like
to take back kind of going in on you about

(44:42):
your hair. I don't want you to think I dislike
your hair. I just uh I want you to uh
to not always have to play just this the stoner guy,
all right, which it sucks because I know how talented
you are. Thank you. You could, you could do anything
you want. Thanks my blacky boy, Thank you man. And

(45:03):
I'm going to continue to do that. But maybe what
I'm trying to teach the world is that just because
you have long hair doesn't mean you're a total bozo.
I'm I'm with you, and it's time for Hollywood to
fucking catch up some of a gun Hollywood. It takes
them a while, it really does. It takes them a
little too long to catch up sometimes. And I want
to give a special shout out to Honders and Kyle

(45:25):
for just being along for the ride, but not right now.
In Son of a Bitch, and that was another episode
