I only ate barbecue the last night in Kansas City,
And dude, this place called Slaps. It was called Slaps
Barbecue and it was great.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
But they yeah, slap Sack. We talked about it last week.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
But big Slick, it's a huge fundraiser for Children's Mercy
Hospital in Kansas City. Money it's a uh, that's right,
I did, and it is a children's cancer research hospital,
so that's very cool. But the last night, like for
all the celebrity guests, they got fifteen different barbecue spots,
so it was like every name brought barbecue spot in

(01:59):
Kansas City was there.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
So you just went and did a taste test. Wow, dude,
that's amazing.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
And that was we ate at like eleven thirty at
night because that's when everything wrapped up, and that's when
we and we'd been drinking for most of the day
and then you know that, I'm in like in bed.
We had to you know, flight the next morning. But
I'm still up to like two thirty three o'clock in
the morning, dude. I was up all night long.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I didn't sleep because my stomach goes wild. But it
tasted so good and and this is no shock. I
can't believe. I called out Slaps and then told that
story because Slaps was delicious. And then there was a
lot of other names that I wish.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Arthur Bryant, I've been to Arthur Bryant when I was
out there, that place was.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Arthur Bryant is the classic, the classic old one. But
everyone everyone was like, there's some new joints that are
on the scene that are are doing some big.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Big thing. I love Kansas City.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Kan City is a fucking cool town, man. They cool town.
They got a good scene over there.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's a Missouri.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I brought clothes that I fit in on the first day.
I was there for three days.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah. Uh. And then I try to wear the same
pants that I wore on the way out there. Couldn't
fit in them. Your boobs are huge. I'm gonna give
it to you. Couldn't fit in the same pants.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Dangn dude, Yeah, dude, I don't understand why my body
does this is growing the butt.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't know why I know this. Adam, you famously
do not wear a belt.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Famously, Why what's up with that? It's such a famous
you can match it with your your shoe famous. I
feel like a nice belt. It's like a watch. Doesn't
that top button just got a lot riding on.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
For dear dear life. Would you brust the button? Yeah? Well,
my ass holds up all pants.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I've never had a problem with sagging because the ass
will hold it there right right right that she so
I'm you know, blake his pay you know, which I
don't understand because you're you have such a top ass
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
But he doesn't bring it over the ass he keep
he keeps You got to pull it up.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
He keeps it on. Just pull it up. I like
to keep it under the butt cheeks. That's what fifty
is going to be for, Adam, Yes, thank you.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Right now, when you sit down on a chair, aren't
you like my asshole his underwear, his barrier, the cotton,
the cotton, like my asshole is literally just pressed against
this chair moments away.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
It's just a thin piece of cotton away from the
chair that I'm sit field.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, it's probably it's probably not not kind.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Which Adam, I would assume you don't have a problem
with because you enjoy sitting bare ass on any toilet
seat anywhere around the world.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Urine or no urine. My asshole is not touching that,
right well, your asshole isn't touching my asshole.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Asshole isn't touching it when you sit down, your assholes
not puckered up against the plank.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
But it's it is so close, It is so close
mine's up in I will. I have a wallet that
I sit on, so that kind of is like line
is mine up in Blake's, isn't it? Blake's is on
the outside mine.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
When I sit down, I kind of sit sprint with
my one cheek first, then like open my butt, So
it's like kind of I sit famously famous.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Famously fus you famous? You're known for it? I like
to keep it spread. Is that why when you get
up in a hurry it goes like this similar. I
don't think the microphone picked that ups, but he did
the he did the pop thing where you put your
finger in your mouth and flick your cheek. Get your
nineteen forties. Guess what I just discovered.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Is fully work still a thing. That's such a cool
That's the coolest job in holl I think AI has
taken that son of them.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
That's that's down. Really, I think that's some of the
coolest stuff.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Like that's down the behind the scenes on how they
would make the noises.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's just guys, just there's.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Funny like comedy sketches about make fully right and they
just gonna make fun of people.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, Todd, I know it's still a thing, but I'm
saying it's gone. It's gone. It's got within six months.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
No one's gonna get paid due to be a fully
artist unless you're like what film and television is going
to be is like most of it is done with AI.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
With the help of AI.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
There will still be actors and there will still be
these things, but like the fully artist he goes.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
But then it'll be the type of thing where.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
It's like bespoke and it'll be like the hipster version
of filmmaking, and.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Like we still use real fully artists, right. You know
who's going to be heading that up? Not you, dude,
you're going to hit it up.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
The person you're suggesting is also not gonna be heading
it up. I already know here to come.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Aw I know Kyle, he hit it up. It's not
gonna head it up. Kyle's the opposite. No it are
you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He's already doing like the gray stage stuff where he's like,
I don't want anything.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
That's kind of cool too super minimal.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And by the way, this is the hilarious thing about
like we're all dialing things back and jobs are always changing, obviously,
like we do more CGI.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
There's normal famously puppetry.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Famously, Hollywood is always shifting, moving, shaking, going this way, famous,
creating jobs here, jobs are extinguished over here.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Okay, I've got no word. It's kind of we got
this idea. Can we talk about Blake's asshole again?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But this idea that like some jobs, some jobs are
just gone now and like we have to move on. Yes,
we're doing something where all the jobs are gonna be gone,
Like you're talking about Folly, as if no one needs Folly,
no one needs any of anything.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
But that's not just our business. That's not just movies
and television.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
That is everything.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
But the way we talk about it, the way we
talk about it is like we can free up the
budget and it's cheaper and we could do more, and
we don't need set decoration.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
We don't need any of it.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So anytime you go, we're gonna do with that out that,
just be ready for the set decorators to go. I'm
actually gonna build a set. It's going to be sick,
and then I'm gonna have a I write a story
and put actors inside the set I built.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah that's right, you bitch, science be ready for that.
Let me ask you this.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Let me ask you, okaying about thet I like, I like,
I think it's tight. What will be the very last
job on Earth? What will be the final job? The oldest,
the oldest baby? Yeah, that's right, there's no root.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
There's going to be sex robots that are all going
to live in all of our house. Yeah, robots are
going to be chorging your ship.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Stand up stand up comedians think it's going to be
a stand up and I'm like, guys, the story you
have to stop.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
You gotta get out of your bubble. No one gives
a fuck.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
No, you think the last job on Earth is going
to be stand up comedians?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I have heard many stand up comedians on podcast be like, well,
no one can do what we do, and I'm like, guys, stop,
uh stop.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well no, I think I think live entertainers will be
one of the last, because I think people are still
the more AI, the more it goes down the road
of AI and fake slop, the more you're gonna want
to pay money to go see someone talented doing their talent.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Until no one wants to go see it.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Right, There's nothing There's nothing like being at a live
stage show a little black box theater and he's just okay.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Tell they're like, I'll just watch. There's one on my phone.
I'll watch, there's one on my eyeball contact lens, and well.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Being there with an audience.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
It's just there's nothing like you guys are fucking thinking.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
So twenty twenty six, you tell me that someone in
like a lazy boy with their dick sucking robot, wants
to leave that and go watch live because it's so electric.
They're gonna be watching a stand up may Ai on
their goggles getting dome from a giant skunk woman with titties.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
It's a half carrot top half some bad I guess
when you put it like that, I'm just saying, put
it like the famously okay yea, so okay, stand ups out.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
But I think there's gonna there's gotta be some job
out there. What will be the last?

Speaker 6 (10:16):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Unders I guess I will wear a belt? Why, just
to bring it full circle?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
You know wait?

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah that well, yeah, well you know what, I guess
I'm gonna start wearing a belt.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
I'm really trying to think of what.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
The belt sponsor for my guy.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Come on, let's get some leather up in and there's
those cool belt cool belts that have like hidden knives
and ship where.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
They're like you can wear this in the airport. Is
still like a Batman utility belt. Yes, that's kind of hard.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
I didn't I didn't know there's cool belts like that.
But I'm assuming.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Like weapon belts is a whole like prepper Oh yeah, yeah,
when you're like strolling on some website and then there's
just an ad for like weapon belts and like.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Weapon belts, I don't think I get yet to see those,
but I don't doubt that they're a real thing.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, I could see them being real.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
That seems pretty, But I feel like I would have
ran into one at a Renaissance fair and I have not.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
So now you think you just went to a Renaissance
fair not too long ago. What are they are they?

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Like?

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Are they pretending that they're fully in the Renaissance? Like
how far in the Renaissance are they?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
And I mean it, I Renfair has been coach, That's
what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, is it? Is it?

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Like absolutely, it's like it's the Renaissance, but the beer's cold?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Right Yeah?

Speaker 5 (11:49):
No, no, no, no, no, that the rent Fair there's ice,
it's corn dog.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
They're deep frying their corn dogs. Yeah, there's always been that,
but more than ever, Adam, You're ruined.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
It's been so hijacked by well, here we go against
social media and all that.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's just not it's just not pure.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
In the same way, there's like a lot of people
that that take it like very tongue in cheek, Like
there's a ton of shreks now and Lord Farquah's and
all that kind of stuff, and they're just not taking
it seriously like it used to be.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Oh dude, you have to take it serious.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Tell me, tell me more about the Shrek stuff here.
Why is it just a Shrek crossover and not every other.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Because Shrek takes place in like medieval times, castles and
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
So there's a lot of stuff. Are there a lot
of like robin hoods.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
There's some.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Like chick robin hoods with the titties out and the
arrow is going through Wait, I mean, like why why
why just Shrek?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Wait chick robin hoods with the arrows going through the titties?

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Was that your That's kind of hard, that's kind of
a stick, that's kind of sick.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Dude, Yeah, I would be sick.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
I would that's disgusting, objectifying.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Adam wants some out and no way. Heros going, yeah,
there's no arrows. They should be out, but no arrows. No, no, no,
there's arrows. She's got two quivers and the arrows are
pointing to the law and the arrows are neon lights,
neon light arrows.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I guess I just want to know, are there really
a lot of Shreks or did you just see us
Shrek and you're saying there's a lot of Shreks.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
No, there's a lot of Shreks. Like there's packs of Shrek,
like because they're ogres.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
And it's like, funny, is.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
This because of Adam dressing up like Shrek? It's kind
of like it's just like Shrek is kind of a movement.
Shrek has become something more than just a movie. There's
like Shrek parties. There are, dude, I'm telling you, they're not.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I mean, I was dressed as as Shrek in the
seminal hit film.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Just at that the Outlaws, Yes on Netflix, looking on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Adam's looking off yonder.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
I think the other thing about Shrek is like you
can you can do a like a low budget like
you see most people do it in a low budget form,
and it's just kind of like funny. It's like it's like, uh,
nailed it, but you're dressing as Shrek, so it's.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Just but it's not gonna get funnier than when Adam
did it. That's right, absolutely not in this seminal hit
films Yellow.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
So do you tell them that? Do you tap them
and go, hey, I know what you're doing? Not even close.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Apparently there's Shrek raves that they're doing now. Yes, man,
I'm telling you, Shrek is a fucking thing. Dude. Okay,
I don't know. I don't know anything anymore.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Sure, Sorry, you're out in the cold, man, I don't
bring anything.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
The Shrek rave looks kind of fun too. People get
fucking loose and imagine dude.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
But to your point, people want to go out and
about and they want to get dressed up like Shrek,
and they want to go to a rave. And they
don't necessarily always want to sit at home having a
robot Chorg on their day, you know, they don't always
want that.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
They want to get out and about with the other.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Shreks as long as there's a thirst just the years
from now when you haven't you haven't left the creb.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Well, of course you're gonna want to go home at
the end of the night and get it, get a
robot blow job.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
But all day, every day it's awaken, gag, you're yeah, okay, hello, yeah,
I'm a time.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Are all of these dates different Shrek raves? Are you
seeing how many Shrek raves there are? There's all over
a dozen world Winnipeg, July third.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Are they official? Is someone making money? Like somebody's cashing in?
Is dream Works cashing in on this? Oh that's a
great question. I think it's not sanctioned. I think you
can get away with it. If it's live Durst check
it out.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
October ninth, Oslow, Norway, Vulcan Arena. Shrek Rave is coming
to Oslow.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, as long as you say oho, Oslow? Is that
how slow? Oh so?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (16:03):
Blake, You're oh so slow? Oh okay, very good? Oh slow?
Have you been to I have that's a side, dude.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I want a couple of years ago. It's Oslo right also, and.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
You know what, they had bunch of license plates with
my name on it last week. I think we talked
about that son.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Of a bitch.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Well, there's two Shrek Raves back to back nights. That's
how big it is out in Oslo.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Why did you skip right past Palmdale and Hollywood on
the July seventeenth where.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
You're going to be?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Should we pull up at the Palladium? Palladium Shrek Rave
is about to go off, dude, So people, I mean,
this is just a this turns into a fuck fest, right,
It's just Shreks fucking donkeys.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Four quads. Yeah, that's what it's all all about. For Blake,
what I think they're all four quads? I think everything
always does for someone like you. When you go to
a comic con and there's just like a furry walking
with sailor Moon and then like, uh, you know Donna
Teller from the Ninja Turtles, You like they're all going

(17:10):
home and these three are fucking each other's brains out
loose mush. Yeah. Absolutely, it's the culture.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Some weird ship is going down anytime anyone gets dressed up,
anytime you if it's not just regular going out close,
if you're doing anything extra, it's too either fuck someone's
brains out or get your brains fucked out. If there's
any amount of doing any amount of anything extra.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Sure, if you're painting your body in any way, does
this go for.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Like just people dressing up normally, if it's if it's
too much, If it's too much, Okay, so we gotta
have Adam run for president just so someone can be
in charge. Who's like, and I'll decide what much.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's too much and the best and the greatest. I
think if there's any form of painting, I mean, you're
not wrong. You're not wrong.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
When you see people walking around with the titties out
at comic Con, I'm always like, yeah, or the rent Fair,
you're gonna break these little guys and brains walking around
like this.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yep, you're gonna You're gonna be fizzled out, or just
even even like my gym is directly across the street
from Nobu, Okay, so it's a go get. I'm not
at the nob I'm across the street and you from
like the the upstairs cardio equipment. It overlooks the valet

(18:42):
where you pull up right in front of Nobu.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
And the amount of like extra flossing people do to
just go out, I'm like the only reason to do
that is to fuck or get fucked.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
There's no other reason. Not the brains out? Do we
leave the brains out? I think you can clip that, Todd.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Make sure to clip when I said the brain's out
earlier and spice it into that.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Thank you is an extremely like is a is an
expensive restaurant? Like these are people going there for like
anniversaries or that's a.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Nice restaurant, but it's also become kindive anniversaries.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
So you're going to want to fuck brains out. It's
like a fancy cheesecake factory at this point.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Yeah, well, how what's the average price of a dish
at NOBU don't I'm Todd.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
But what is your point? What is your point? It's expensive,
you gotta dress, you're gonna fuck. You're not going to
your expensive restaurant. Not fuck. That's right, right, that's what
I'm saying, right, yes, but you can't correct you can
because Chloe and I will go sometimes we're not fucking
you know, we will go and we'll we'll just go

(19:51):
in like a I'll wear a T shirt and jeans
and because it's not actors, Okay, well that's that's elite.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
That's elite. You're you're an elite, You're a would elite.
But for the average.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Joe, Novo prides itself on being a place that's like
kind of slick and sleek and like you dress.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Up to go there because it's no boo.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Okay, well maybe maybe Novoo is the bad example, but
I'm just because I see it so often of just
like people flaw like wearing the craziest women wearing the
craziest outfits, and guys just looking like they are like
car salesman.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Right, you know what I mean, Like this is all
those women have. They don't do anything, they dress up
to go.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Out or no, just guys looking like they're Dallas Rains.
Like every guy pulls up looks like he is Dallas Rains.
If you don't know who Dallas Rains.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Is, looks like a weatherman. He is on Fighter Los Angeles'
weather man, Los Angeles Weatherman. His name is Dallas Rains.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
And he's exactly what you think he would look like,
like silver hair that swooped back, you know, with the
biggest fakest teeth you've ever seen. Always han as hell,
so tan, and he's always dressed like he's about to
fuck someone's brains out.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
He looks like a hot ass crip keeper.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I just watched him the other day and he's starting
to look like a weather demands looking.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Okay, the roast of Dallas rains.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
He's always looked good, but just recently I was like,
I don't know, I think the rains need to be passed.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Okay, Lord take the reins.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Lord take the rains.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I think he is a legend, yes, but I think
the time has come. I think we need to see
a new Dallas Rains type guy for a new generation MS.
It's like Lebron, Lebron, you did it. You're a legend.
Maybe it's time.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Maybe it's time past the torch or take the rain.
And I'm not saying it is I'm saying maybe it's time.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
It's really hard to get rid of your your local
news people because you really grow comfortable with them, and
seeing them leave it I feel like a piece of
your heart goes with them.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Well, I remember my dad was friendly, I won't say friends,
but friendly with the Omaha weatherman Jim Flowers.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
And he always had a flower what do they call that?
A brooch or a boot neeer like you would have
when you went to like Brom or whatever, you go
to Brom or whatever, burped. When you go to prom
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
My dad would see whatever you need God or whatever,
get invited or whatever.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
When you go to prom, usually the guy would invite
the girl.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Blake me, bro Okay, I see that you were too scared.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
So finally a girl was like, Blake, do you just
would you like to go to prom? Thank you? Rescue me?
Were cousins. I am laughing, but that is what happened.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
But go ahead checking what you were too and you
were too nervous to ask the girl.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
I didn't want to go. I don't want to go, rebel,
for sure.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
I think I just tagged along with a girl who
wanted to.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Know why because your friends were having a mean game
of dungeons and dragons in someone's basement.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
Well, for sure, half of my dude crew was not
in attendance at the prom.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Absolutely not. I'm convinced. If you didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Go, Kyle was on the court or whatever, wasn't.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Oh yeah, I'm on the I was on the court. Dog.
If you didn't want to go to prom or homecoming,
that's just because you didn't have anyone that you weren't
going to harden your hair and wear you're shining shirts
and try to fuck someone.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Well, for sure, I'm not going because I didn't. I
didn't feel like there was a huge chance of me
getting laid off of going to prom.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
But that's not even when you go, well, no, high school,
you're not. You don't go to fuck your brands that
are have your brands. That's not really why you're going.
Then why are you going to prom? I'm not going
to dance. I don't. I don't like those kind of events.
It's about sneaking alcohol.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
You go to dinner, yes, and then you go in
a limo split between forty people, all shoved in there.
Someone's got a backpack full of Snapple and Vodkast.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
And by the way, the girls, the girls are dressed
prettier than they've ever been dressed.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Sure, sure, yeah, there's a yeah, there's they're covered in glitter.
It's pretty exciting, like we're going to no move.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yes, there will be the three guys who know how
to break dance in your high school.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
There will be a circle around them.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
They will be doing all the moves that they've been
doing since sixth grade.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Now you're losing me. They will lose me. They will
play black.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
No, see, Blake, this is when that's I know you, Blake.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I guarantee you you would. You would you like this stuff?
I know you do. I know you do. You're pretending
like you don't because you weren't invited. No, there's no
why I went. And and guys get to dress up,
you know how.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I know Kyle dressed like the dude who tried to
shoot up the White House the other day.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
They showed a picture him Internet.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
He's in like a black shirt, black tie with like
a black suit, black shirt with like a red tie,
just like full on like nineties California prom outfit. And
then and I seen Kyle wearing that fit hardcore.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure you you would get your
hair as hard as you possibly can.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
I liked all that stuff. I liked going to prom
and homecoming. And you know, the older you got, the
less cool it was.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
By senior year, like the last dance, you're like, well,
we got to do this again, but it's mostly about you.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Like prom as a freshman though, Yeah, I guess maybe
I guys have junior prom, Yes, junior and senior Oh,
we just had a prom for everybody, for freshmen and
sophomores as well.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
No just prom for seniors.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
There was no junior prom, no junior Oh, the juniors
and seniors got to go.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
You want to know. And by the way, I'm a
fucking loser. Yeah, okay, let's hear it. That's right.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Let's hear it to my girl. My girlfriend, Emma, now wife,
was a senior. I came back from college O time.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
And yeah, that is some dude. When the dude was
coming back. But it's a year, just one year, right, Yeah, okay,
well one year. But I'd seen the world, dude, I'd
been all the way to Wisconsin. Yes, but what are
you gonna do.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
You're gonna just let your girls exactly, either she has
to not go or she's gonna what go stag.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
And by the way, it's not like I didn't know
a ton of people. Yeah, you know all those people
like one grade. One grade is fine when you're going
when it's like you've been out of school for more than.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
One years, if you've been out of school for several
Because whenever I walk into a room, I go, they're
gonna know. I don't think these people know that I
went to prom after I came back from college.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
But they can probably feel it and sense it. They
just know that. And so the fact that you've said this, Adam,
thank you very much, I take you're fine. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Who what is so bad about going to prom like
stag or whatever? How come you can't just roll up
solo do lo like nothing.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Nothing you could go, but I will, I will say that,
Just go and have fun, Blake. I think once upon
a time. I think once upon a time, there is
an element of like, can you just link up with
a person?

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yes, I think that is what you know what I'm saying.
Don't be a bitch and just ask something. Just ask somebody.
And by the way, if they say no, And when
they say no, Blake, you ask someone else. When they
say no, oh yeah, you ask okay, just someone else's
little sister understood, and onto my next target.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
And I think six, I bet that's probably changed. I
bet going as like a group is probably like the thing.
But there is something to going you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna ask this person. We're gonna go together,
are gonna have a time together, And it doesn't have
to be fucking our brains out, but let's just have
a good time. That's not about and well, and that's

(28:08):
kind of it, just the tradition of like, all right,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be a gentleman tonight.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Let me your brain. I agree.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
I definitely see the value in it now, like getting
the courage to ask somebody dressing up like it's good.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
For like getting them a booteneer. It's just it's a
It's just another social experiment, that's all it is.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
So did you not go Blake or.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
You you did? I went to both my senior and
junior prom Okay, those were the grades. Yes, because Claire
and I went with.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Alice. I don't remember her now, okay, forgot her name.
Very cool. It was one of my friend's sisters.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Ok okay, yeah, and that's because that friend's mom like
was just like, just go with Blake, and.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
He doesn't go. I can't.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
Honestly, I'm like really racking my brain on how I
ended up hitting her as my date.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
But I don't recall asking her. I think it was
forced upon me.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
And Blake was her name Elise because it was like
a temporary thing like Elise, like you.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Blake I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Come on, I don't know promised by the way, you
get the prom and all the girls just go hang
out with each other anyway, yeah, everybody.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
And then the dudes are sitting there being like, I'm
not drunk anymore. I'm not drunk anymore. This is the worst. Yes,
see you you did both you guys get fucked up
to go. Yeah, I was too scared to do that
at that point. Yes, well we drank before.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I wouldn't say we were fucked up, right, but like, yeah,
you got you got a little drunk.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
You had to get in and the parents were like
screened or like smelling breath as your Yes, I remember
them making it pretty hard to show up your walle
And then and then if you went into the bathroom
with any amount of group, then then teachers are like
they're going in, They're they're looking.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
But I remember people like hiding uh like flasks in
their shoes. Yeah, isn't that the whole that's.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
The fun of it, right, Yes, it's the cat and mouse.
It's the tale as old as I But remember.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
I remember that it's saying like if they get you
drinking like at the prom, you like won't graduate like
that's it.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Yeah, you don't get to walk, I think is what
we had, Yeah, which kind of would be a bummer, right,
And I was like, bitch, yeah, I think that would
be a bummer for like your parents, for you.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
I think it'd be like who could I like, I
I'm trying to remember because I saw a video of
like now, like the thing is, uh like AI is
saying like kids' names.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Oh and they're like butchering their names. Oh that's cool,
They're like do the AI is just like fucking up
someone's name.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
It's like it's like when there used to be the
E T right at Universe So Studios, and it'd be
like goodbye, b like like I couldn't say.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, like probably like that.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
I guess it's like that any of my any of
T I I nation who remembers the e T ride?
It was amazing. He say your name very well at
the end.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Uh, well he's E T. I don't think he's had
any any words fucking very well, Yeah he did. He
did on this ride.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
He would say goodbye to everybody, would be goodbye a dub.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
It was fucking cool. Dude, that right, that is sick.
That's just an accent and honestly a little racist. What
you're doing offend, just how aliens offended. I know my
apology that's he's extraterrestrial, you know.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
He.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
So would. The principle isn't reading names anymore. No, yah
Ai is doing it. And so I was just thinking
about to like here we go to like when I walked,
and I'm like, I don't remember really walking. I remember
them being worried that I was going to do something.
Here it goes.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
It caused a scene and I didn't. And I remember
I auditioned to give the speech. I wrote like a
really heartfelt, very what I thought was a great speech
that was funny. Uh, And I auditioned for it and
it crushed.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
In the room of like the one hundred people that
are there, all the teachers and administration to see who
gets to give the speech because it's the valedatorian, and
then they have one other kid and this guy. And
I did not get it because I thought I was
going to suck it up or say something, you know,

(32:38):
to get a rise of people.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
But so I was like, I don't even remember walking
across the stage. I don't I remember the party, the
night before. Yeah, I don't remember, but I don't remember
the walk, and I remember.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Shaking the principal's hand and gone that you didn't think
this was gonna happen?

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Is is that right?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Did you? Actually?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:02):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Did the principal I think I think he might have
said it to me, that's you didn't think this was
gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah, I kind of remember it, but it is interesting
that it isn't something like a real solid memory. But
like now kids do fucking wild a ship, Like they'll
do a backflip, or they.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Like dunk on the teacher.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like what are you doing? Just fucking
dunking on your teacher? They'll do like Mett Sick.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
And every teacher has to be like, well, okay, I
see you on the streets. I'm gonna go. Yeah, I
can beat your ass. Now you're not my student anymore. Yep,
that's right, that's right, bro.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
They'll be like dudes will like do rock paper scissors
with like their mom back home or something like somehow
it's being.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
With their mom back home. What does that? No, maybe
that's college. There were so many shreks at him. There's
no for some reason to wait, what we're talking about
walking during graduation?

Speaker 5 (33:58):
So what does that have to do with graduate is
being is being aired? Like maybe it's on public access.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
I don't know. I feel like i've seen this public
access on YouTube. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
I've seen this several times now where people will like
get their diploma and then then like throw a rock,
paper scissors with somebody who's at home watching the graduation.
How do they know who's They don't that people are
filming it at home and they're like, oh you fucking.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
It's fucking I don't know, man, I have no idea
what you're talking about, and neither desired listeners or viewers.
I'm sorry, what is that?

Speaker 7 (34:34):
Isn't it like Billy Madison where it's like no one
understands what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Kill yourself? Doesn't people are stupid or for listening to you?

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not sorry. Adam's not saying that,
He's just quoting the movie.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's all. Absolutely, just wasn't that in the all?

Speaker 5 (34:50):
I'll see myself out right, see. Yeah, I don't really
remember walking the stage either. I think I was pretty
damn nervous though. I don't know why. I don't know,
just was like a big moment. That's probably the biggest
moment of your life.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
At that point, someone was behind every time he took
his step. What was the biggest moment in your life?
I feel like that was for me last week's episode.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
I had already done stand up, like in comedy clubs
at that point, I was I was already trying to
do stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, Adam was selling water beds over the phone. But
this is a way, big girl.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Well it's it's not an audience that you're literally just
walking aro You don't you're not. I mean I tried
to give a speech. They wouldn't allow it to happen.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
But Blake, Blake walked like this, Yeah, were you did
you do a performance at your graduation? They literally call
your name, You go up, you grab the diploma, you
shake a hand in then no, but that's your moment.
That's your moment in front of like two thousand people,
and you were nervous to you were nervous to walk.
That's your moment. Yeah, it's your moment. They call your name,

(35:53):
your sweet.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Like your moment was the foe before that? Yeah, you're
sweet little baby boy.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Well, the fact that you were nervous, the fact that
you chose a career in entertainment and you were nervous
to walk across stage and just.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
Taking butterflies in your stomach when you were graduating high school,
you had no sort of like he.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Had, fucking ya your master and studach Brom.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
I feel like I am not in the minority here.
I feel like everybody like that is okay.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
I yes, I don't think you're in the minority. But
you are a professional comedian, sure man.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
And after a time, and you know what you were
going to have a career in it, to have butterflies,
to walk across the stage and take a diploma, that
that to me seems crazy considering the field that you
went into. Let me ask you this Blake to defend you.
Not that you need it like you you need something. Listen.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Do you consider yourself like an entertainer or like a
creator who likes to make stuff as opposed to somebody
who's like, I like to do this to entertain people,
or you just like to do this to put the
thing out and then if people like it, great.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
I think it has gone through waves.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
But at that time in high school, like I was
doing the school plays and improv and all that, I
was entertaining people.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
So you but did you do it to entertain people
or did you do it because you were like that
felt cool and good to be this other person. And
then yes, sure I'll go out and bow, but like,
I don't need to bow at the end of the thing.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
This doesn't do anything for me.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
No, I think for sure in high school I was
doing it to entertain people. One hundred and so this
was the large audience you had. I think it was
just and it wasn't. It wasn't me being funny. It
was just like a very like their family had flown
in from places like it was just like people were
there to see me.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Be yes. But and I agree that it graduated from
high school is a big deal, I guess. I mean
the whole time for for high school, I was like,
obviously I was going to graduate from high school, like
it was never in question. People at my high school
go absolutely ape shit, yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Was it because a lot of kids like wouldn't graduate
or like basically yeah, okay, well if that's the case.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
But also people are just proud and they're loud proud
and loud, Yeah, man, I get college. I would take
it to more of a thing because you really really
had to work for it.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I feel like my high school, if you weren't graduating,
like you really fucked up somewhere along the way.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
I would say my experience was college was less so
because it's kind of like, well, yeah, I went to college,
I'm and a graduation. I paid for it, which I
spoke at Wisconsin and I had to be like, hey,
I know like some of you guys don't give a
fuck about this, but the person next to you might
really care. So like, let's give a genuine applout for
everybody who gives a shit today. Because some of these

(38:49):
kids are like, yeah, dude, I went to college. That's
what you're supposed to do. You graduate, and then you
just go work in Chicago or New York and you
make money and.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
This is just part of it.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Other people are like, this is like a huge step
for me and my family or and all that kind
of thing.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
It's a real mix bag. But also to me, college
is a much larger deal.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
One.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
It costs a lot of money, and the classes are harder, yes,
and you do have to really apply yourself high school
was such a fucking brief.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
But the people in college are generally privileged people who've
gone to who've come from my families that went to college, generally, right,
you know that's all.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Yes, a lot of people don't go to college, so
most of my family, most of my friends going back home.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Like, high school is it? That's it. You're done with
your education.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
You don't you don't want, You don't learn a fucking
thing unless they listen to pop then they're learning every week.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
Peter Northville, Well, I don't know. I think that for
a lot of people, that is their one moment of glory.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
I guess in.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Yes, I'm saying I understand four people like I have
friends that you you tell them to tell a story
at a dinner table when you're when there's like eight
people out to dinner, and they get butterflies and are
nervous and can't do it. But for someone who picked
a career in an entertainment who I knew you when

(40:15):
you were literally you graduated two months before is when
I met you for the first time, and I'm like,
that kid to me didn't seem like the kid that
would be nervous to walk on stage and take.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
A change change.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
I think I think it's just because it was such
a foreign environment. I'm like being acknowledged for education. It's
like it's I'm not going up there. I didn't have
like something funny.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I was gonna do. I was just kind of even
though I yeah, being sincere, the sincerity of it, Yeah,
that's what.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
It is, the sincerity of like, oh, this is a
real milestone in my real life.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Yeah, I don't. I still to the to this day,
I don't love being sincere.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
I'm doing all this stuff for children's hospitals, right, so
I'm now the master for Children's Miracles.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
These kids are dying.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Children's Miracle Network hospitals, and I am giving all these
talks about my experience when I was hit by this
men truck and what I the trials and tribulations that.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
I had to go through.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
But the part where I can just be funny and
like kind of be a goof, I love it. That's
when I'm in my wheelhouse. But then when when I
have to be really sincere, that's when it feels very
uncomfortable and I don't love it and it doesn't come naturally.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Right.

Speaker 5 (41:37):
I think we all kind of fall back on comedy
as a as a blanket, as a comfort like you know,
that's that's sort of what that's what we do, that's what.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
We are, Not me, you bitch.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah, I don't know if I even understand what you're
talking about serious being seriously it's not my comfort zone
at all.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
And if I have to actually sound smart or say something.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
No, no, no, like say something prolific, count me. There's
a way to say something brolift now that I could do.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
This is the way.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Okay, guys, what would be here?

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Like where would you never ever want to like speak
or like would you want to like if someone's like, hey, Blake,
you're an actor, You've been doing this forever.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Will you come speak at like where'd you go Clayton Valley?

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Mm? Hm?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Will you go?

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Will you speak in front of Clayton Valley's like drama class?
Like would that be a nightmare for you or something?
You're just like, I don't want to tell these kids
how to do it. I don't know, like if my
journey is the one or what.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
Here's the thing I think of like a like a
theater class, a little drama funny drama class. Yeah, I
could do that all day. But if they were like, hey,
come to like come to the like auditorium and like
speak in front of the whole school.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
About like life after life after high school. But then
we did do that. What do you mean we gave
the commencement speech at Orange Coast Community College. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
We did.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
We literally did that, and Durs did that at Wisconsin.
We've done what you're currently saying you wouldn't do. I guess,
I guess I kind of I guess I was kind
of blackout.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
This is interesting. Now, this is important to tell. No,
that was really that was that was fun. I'm proud
that we that I mustered up the courage to do that,
and it was fun and I think I did okay.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
But yeah, it was also nice. I think Durs has
done very good because you've done it what twice? Now,
I did Wisconsin and I did my high school et. Yeah,
so you've done it twice, and I thought you did
a great job. I think for Blake and myself it
was nice to have each other there. Done a ton

(44:00):
of stand up. But you're right, the sincerity of it,
I'm not comfortable doing. Yeah, and just to have you so.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Then we could kind of make fun of each other
a little bit in certain moments and all each other.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
I don't know what's weird. It's like, I don't remember
making fun. I was pretty sincere.

Speaker 5 (44:21):
But I think also you see me and you walk
out to do the speech, they're like, oh, this is
gonna be dumb and funny or whatever. When maybe when
you see Andres come out, it's a little more mysterious.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Do this again, please, he put his hands together. He's intelligent.
Maybe he's going to say something that might really resonate. No,
I just told them not to do cocaine. Well that's huge,
that's that's good advice you have. Sincere. I was like,
don't do it, just don't do it. Yeah, and if
you already have, knock it off, yeah, knock off. Just
chucky joke.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
I see some of you guys nodding that you already
have parents. I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to
the kids. So it was a don't do cocaine kids,
and also your kids your parents and have done cocaine.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
So it was it kind of a fun little twist.
Oh your speech sounds cool. Fuck, I gotta rewatch it.
I don't remember this cocaine running.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I was a little shocked they let because they read
it and he was like the cocaine bit and I
was like, thank you, and he's like, and the white rappers.
We still got him who read it the principle. The
dean of students was like, we got all these white rappers.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Light them up. And I was like, I'm on, I
can watch the speech.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
It's about cocaine and white rappers on YouTube somewhere like
cool dude, dang. I feel like me and Adam tradition
and like unlike any other I think Adam and I
we covered kind of similar territory, white rappers and cocaine. Yeah, yeah,
we wrapped and did cocaine on stage and like this
is cool, dude.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
And they're like this checks out. This is the graduating
class of twenty eighteen or or whatever. Go wave is it?
Do they say go wave or something. He's like, I
don't know, I don't know if I gotta go back,
go pirates, dude.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
All I remember about like the graduate for these kids
was that, and I feel like I've covered this, but
like when they were like who had a three point
five gpa? Almost everybody stood up and then they were
like who had a four point oh? More people stood up,
and then when it was like who had a four
to five? As many people's had a three five stood

(46:17):
up and I was just like, what the fuck is happened?

Speaker 5 (46:21):
I'm very curious if it's just like because I've noticed
like with you know, LA school district, like fucking schools.
Hell it easy now go off righters, do not give
a fuck if you do your shit or not.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Well, it used to be our grading. I remember to
get an A. It was ninety three percent and over
that was an A ninety three as that you said
ninety three ninety three percent, yeah to one hundred. Now
it's like ninety to one hundred, so you have an

(46:55):
extra three percent to fuck around there. You're in there.
I could use that, I could I could use another
four inches in all fast, it's life. You need another
four inches.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yeah, And I do think they like have not that
I didn't have teachers be like yo, during lunch, come
to this study session so we can fucking help you.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
But I think like that stuff's a whole other level
now where it's like they they got you.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
If you're slipping, you can redo that assignment and turn
it back in like they must.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
It's yeah, tripping shit is helly. Like I'm like, they're
not even reading books anymore. It's like I'm like, what
book are you reading?

Speaker 3 (47:32):
And it's like we're not. It's like, what the fuck, dude,
and who are you asking all these shreks.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
I don't even think my eldest has written a book
report yet, real sixth grade no book report really, not
one that's like three pages long or whatever. I remember
writing like long ass book report, ten pages, all this shit.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
They're not making kids do that anymore. Huh.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Well, this is this is where it gets tricky because
we're like, they're not learning, and then what parents are doing.
And I know people from my high school that are
fucking idiots, just bonafide boneheads, like total morons. I'm not
a smart person. I would not say i'm I'm I'm

(48:20):
totally a dumb at. I was infinitely more intelligent than
a lot of these people.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
That's cool. They're homeschooling their children now, stupid and they're
online talking about how they're not learning anything in school.
So I took the bull by the horns and we're
teaching them at home the way they should be taught,
and I'm like, no, don't, oh God, let go of

(48:48):
the bull.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
A huge part of school is being around other kids,
Like you're learning outside of the curriculum, Okay.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
And I will take it back. I know Nuachek is
homeschooling his children, so this is not about him. This
is not about him. They're fine.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
No, It's also depends at what age you're homeschooling, Like
at some point you gotta let your kids get out
into the world and be amongst other kids, because they're
gonna teach you how to act.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Your peers will.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
All my friends were smarter than me, so they want homeschool, fine,
but I know I should never homeschool.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
No, And how do other people who have my intelligence level?
How do they not know? What is the what is
the like differentiator there where you're like, I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Well.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I actually was just talking. Someone said something. It was
when I was a big slick and I was drinking
at the time, so I don't quite remember who said it,
fucking but they were saying something how smart you were,
and and I'm like, no, no, no, yeah, That's what

(49:54):
I'm trying to remember.

Speaker 6 (49:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
Maybe it's one of the impractices. We're talking about you.
They're as saying how you how smart you was you?

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:02):
You are asking abouts? Yeah, they I don't know what
I was saying about.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
How dumb the three of us are seems pretty smart
and I'm like, no, no, no, no, he's an idiot.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
They didn't come to my defense, No, they did not.
They were like, yeah again again Adam was drinking. Who
the fuck is this?

Speaker 4 (50:19):
I think it was one of the impractical jokers and
they were like, he is so with those guys. Yeah,
they're like, he's a he's a really smart guy. And
I'm like, he is very dumb but a but also
very smart. But he has to learn you talking about you? Yeah,
you have to learn in the way that you learn.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Absolutely right. So if a teacher is trying to explain
something you can't get on their page, they have to
get on your page and teach the way that you will,
which I'm sure was impossible as a teacher to try
to teach you anything because it's not exactly how you
can learn it. Then you want don't learn it that way. True,

(51:01):
but you are a very smart person.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
But I'm like, what are they basing this off of?
That's my favorite thing is that I'm like, they're like
a smart guy. I don't, I don't.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
I don't know what I think you put on airs.
I think you put on some airs.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
I think it's I think it's monsters of Monarch. You
play like a scientist, cryptozoologist.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Yeah, it has to be. It has to be monarch.
They must be hooked, it has to be. Which is weird?
I feel I feel like you and I think I
said this to them, and I'm like, it's the polos.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
It's the fact when we were younger and we were
wearing like T shirts and jeans and look like some
dumpy twenty year olds, you were wearing like khakis and
polos and look like you belong to a country club,
which just makes you seem smarter, even though obviously there's
idiots who belong to country club.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
Right, yes, yes, I also think that the backdrop is
always me and Adam. So you are you are being
put in front of us, and we are like, I like,
that's right, that's right, We've covered this.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
We up, we went there.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
I think it was Isaac when Isaac first started representing us,
and he'd be like, hey, like I need you to
get the guys and I'm like, what, I'm the and
he's like, well, you know, you're like the responsible and
I'm like, I don't know. If you've met us together
and like you understand the inner workings, it's a miracle
that anything gets done. Yeah, like we all have to

(52:33):
be like yes, Wednesday, for sure, Wednesday we're going to
get together, and it still might not even happen.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Well, that's why Comedy Central was.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
It was genius in giving us Kevinett, and it was
it was smart to have that because imagine if we
were just raising each other, we would be a little
Lord of the Flies man.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Great movie. I watched the show, watched the new show.
Is it a show?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
It's a few episodes. I think it's four or six
episodes something like that.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
That I could see that being pretty cool. Apparently he
was the guy that did Adolescence. Oh what is his name?
Please please look that up.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
The actor who wrote and directed Adolescents, that Netflix show
that was very intense and very cool, not that dark.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
This was his new project, right, Yeah, I don't know.
I just watched it because I liked the og Lord
of the Flies movie. I used to watch that ship
all the time.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
I don't remember that. Actually, I only read the book.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
I don't recall the f I remember cool the book
I didn't famously, I don't read.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
You didn't read Lord of the Flies, and we had to.

Speaker 5 (53:39):
But I didn't like that book cover this sure, yeah,
I know, but that book was actually kind of sick.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
I know. I just like it's too many words.

Speaker 6 (53:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
I think that's the difference between Durs and myself. When
it came to like schooliness, I just did. I think
is probably smarter than me, but in his specific way
that he has to learn and do the things.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
But I would just do the things. They're like, hey,
you got to do this homework. That's all school is.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
And then I was like, okay, and then I just
did the homework, and then I was able to get
good grades. And then you just kind of know the
stuff on the test because you did the homework, and
you're like, it's school's easy.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
If you just do it. It's just annoying. You just
have to turn in the work. You turn in the work.
Did I tell you guys this what's up?

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I think maybe I told you guys that I got
I got a neighbor who went to Harvard and he
went to stand She went to Harvard, he went to Stanford,
the bright people, and I was explaining how, like, you know,
I just had to remind my oldest.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Kid how we make money. Yeah, they're like the podcast
and how we make money, how we're neighbors.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Yeah, but so like my my always kid's very bright
and he's fine, but also like can space out about stuff.
He'll do like three assignments and be like I forgot
to turn him in. I'm like, well, dude, you've done them,
and you've done them well, just yeah, and that shit
is bro turn them in. The responsibility part is just
doing that. And I was like, you know, I just
had a little talk with him about how it's like, look, man,
if you listen in class, then you can do the homework.

(55:13):
And if you do the homework, that's probably going to
be what's on the test, so you'll be able to
do well on the test.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Right, They're all connected.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
And they looked at me like I was insane, and
they were like, why did you even think you had
to tell them that? And I go, well, when I
was a kid, I didn't think about that. I just
wouldn't listen in class. And then I'd get the homework
and I'd be like, well, I can't how to do
that because I didn't listen. And then I'd get to
the test and.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
I'd go, this might as well be Japanese. I was
just I'm like, I don't even know, like what these
equations are that. I bet you were so difficult to idit, dude.
I mean I was difficult because I just kill about it.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Except for a couple of teachers who were kind of
annoying and wanted to help me.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
I was like, Okay, you took a stance.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
You didn't get fs though, Like failing high school is
legit fucking hard. I probably got four f's. You've got
to try to fail that ship. That's like they make
it pretty hard.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
No, I just didn't do anything, and I was busy.
I was swimming. I was busy. I was like, this
is gonna be this is my thing. I got this,
this is getting me in the I'm a professional swimmer
and I'm going to be a millionaire, So I don't
need to learn business.

Speaker 5 (56:28):
I don't need you weren't you weren't getting in trouble
at home, Like yeah, your parents we're going, what the
fuck are you doing, Bro, why are you getting FSCPT.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Were your parents getting good grades? Sorry? Were your brothers
getting good grades? Yeah? My older brother was very smart.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
My middle brother worked harder, wasn't like as I think,
just like didn't test as well I think right, but
did all the work and had good grades. And then
I was just like a lost cause. But like, yeah,
my parents. I was grounded my entire like senior year.
I was just grounded. They were just trying to keep
me off the streets.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Ground and grounded meant you had to stay in your
room or no.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
It just couldn't like go out on the weekends because
they were like if you got to get above, they
were like you need all a's and b's to be
not grounded.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
And I was like, whoa, what are we even talking?
I guess I live here now. And this was before
the internet, right, so like what.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Do we I was just watching movies, writing movies or
watching movies and being like all right, well here we go.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
But no, dude.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
It was like I would finally get like a good
report back from teachers that I could like show them
and be like, look I'm on the right track, and
they're like, all right, you can go out. I'd be
out till like three or four in the morning, and
they go, oh my god, you can't.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Be out till four in the morning. And I'd be like, well,
i haven't been out in six weeks. I'm catching up.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
So when you went out in high school in the morning,
was it was it? Were you guys going to Chicago?
Because Blake and I lived very similar I mean besides that, uh,
I mean we live very similar like suburban and.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
High school experiences. When I went to Clayton Valley or Conquered.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
When I went to Concord for the first time, and
they Blake kept telling me he lives in the Bay
Area in Oakland. Basically it's Oakland. And then I got
there and it was exactly like my hometown. R.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Yeah, it's a suburb. And I'm like, this is just
a suburb. I mean there's I mean, there's a PF.
Chang's Express there. Wait a minute, we don't have a
PF Changs or whatever. You know, fast food, like just
dumb fast food restaurants on every Were you going to Chicago? Like,

(58:45):
were you going out downtown Chicago?

Speaker 2 (58:47):
So on the North Side you're kind of far from downtown,
but you would go out in what's Rogers Park is
like the first neighborhood, and you would go to like
the DePaul bars, uh, which are like De Paul's, like
the Blue Damon's.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
So you were going to bars in high school so cool.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Like later in high school by the time you got
like a decent id, right, and definitely in college before
you were twenty one.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Dude, because I had a fake id. It was like
a dry We lived in, like a dry town.

Speaker 7 (59:14):
There's like one barol famously is it dry town?

Speaker 3 (59:18):
No belt, dry town? Literally it is famously. That's crazy. Yeah,
I was not. I mean even when I was like
twenty two and three and would go to a bar,
They're like, bullshit, take a fucking walk, child, And I'm like,
I really am, I really am. I'm twenty two years old, by.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
The way, not to like this was not every weekend.
This was like we would go sometimes, right, yeah. Usually
it was just like someone's house.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Right, That's what we were drinking in, like just driveways
or garages.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
On a golf course, you know, you were like no
one could hear you, like like a public golf course
that kind of wove through town drinking the park we
had a beach. You could just drink at the beach.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
It was. It was a lot of drinking in like
out of the back of someone's trunk. At Taco Bell. Yeah,
Taco Bell parking lot is just a meeting. Taco Bell
parking Lot was a main hub of activity.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
And now you drive past like a Taco Bell parking
lot and it just looks like a business park. It
just looks like a business center, like the Taco Bell.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
I'm like, this does surround the Wi Fi. What are
we saying they're beautiful?

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
It's like, this is a It doesn't seem like a
place teenagers are like are going to like get their
Baja blasts and they're cinnamon twists.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
They're not out anymore, man, they don't. They're at home
given their dick sucked by a fucking skunk robot by robots.

Palladium Shrek style? Should we go to the Shrek Rave

I'm not interested, but maybe not, but I kind of
doubt it. And he'll be into this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
I can't remember what date it is, but maybe talk
and pull it up. It's in a while weird Ow weird.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Al is playing.

Speaker 6 (01:03:05):
I think Honda Center. Okay, oh, come on down, come
on down, like three times. It's always a great show
the Honda Centers. That's some people. That's wild.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Oh yeah, and my kids are fully into weird al
right now they're on a fucking run.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Hey, come on down. You guys could stay at the crib.
That would come on down. Let's make a whole weekend
of let's do this, Let's do it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:27):
Weird now is the best gateway into music. It's like,
I just love Weirdo, he says.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
So, dude, that's where Let's Get Weird got started. Exactly.
We started chanting Let's Get Weird at a weird Al
concert at the Orange County Fair. Yes, the Poodle Hat
Tour and Uh, we got the whole crowd just chant
let's get weird. And then a few years later when
we sold the show, we brought that into the writer's

(01:03:54):
room and away we go.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Dude, he's been doing this for fucking almost forty years. Yes,
and he's selling out. I assume he'll sell out Honda Center.
That's first another level. Who who else is doing this?

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
I mean probably like Billy eilan Yeah, like a ton
of pop stars and rocks. Billy Eilish has been doing
it for ten years.

Speaker 5 (01:04:17):
Olds.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Okay, you guys are under You guys are unreal.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
What are you doing right now forty years later saying
people who are still there?

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
I mean there's a lot of rock stars that you
are selling out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
You two Green Day, You guys are naming the point
one percent. Yes, I understand what you're trying to say,
like a green Day and are the rolling Stones and
Beetles of our era?

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
You're right, You're right. Yeah, We're just crazy that weird
Al is doing it. He's also just like comedy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
He's a parody artist. It's crazy, it's it's nuts, it's
fucking awesome, it's wild. And there's a reason because he's
great and he's dialed in and he genuinely is a
great guy, you know. Weirdly, it's him and Rick Flair
that then send me gifts and notes and cards for

(01:05:05):
my birthday every year.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Those two guys. Yeah, I think I've told you guys
this before. We got to get them together.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
It's very strange. But I'll get like a personalized video
from weird Awl just sending it to me, like texting
it to me because I have his number, and I
have a number, I know him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
