Look no further than No Grip,

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1,
including the astrology of the current grid,
the story of the sports most consequential driver's strike
and plenty of other mishapsed scandals and sagas
that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire
for more than 75 years.

I'm Lori Siegel, and on my new podcast, Mostly Human,
I'll take you to some wild corners of the tech world.
I'm about to go on a date with an AI companion
at a real world cafe right here in New York City.
There's no playbook for what to do
when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.
Mostly Human is your playbook for how tech can work for you.
Anyone can now be an entrepreneur.
Anyone can build an app.
And it's very empowering.

June 10th, 2020, TD. Godin, Boston, Massachusetts.
The Boston Celtics look to take a commanding 3-1 lead.
But Steph Curry and the Warriors kept the receipts.
This is game for a football.
of the 2022 NBA Finals.
Welcome to Games with Names.
I'm Julian Edelman.
They're Jack and Kyler,
and we are on a mission
to finding the greatest game of all time.
We have a great episode coming up
with hilarious comedian Blake Anderson.
And if you haven't already,
drop a like and subscribe to Games with Names.
Let's go.
Games with Names is a production of I-Heart Radio.
Strike.
The strike was...
Because I work out Fox
and I do the pregame show.
And so that's a different sector.
But there's still like
the Hollywood sector on the Pico campus or whatever
so there'd be like fucking strikers out the whole time
like looking at us all wrong going into work.
I'm like, sports, bro.
We're doing sports.
Peace.
I stand with you.
I'm a man of the people.
Yeah.
You were a scab.
I was a scab.
I said, I'm not Doug Flutty.
I'm not Flutie.
Dude, Flutie was a scab.
Dude, he was a guy.
The NFL scab.
Floody's my boy, though.
We got to interview him at the last Super Bowl.
That guy is cool.
Dude, he's a stud.
So I'll tell you a Flutie story.
Okay, I like this.
I like this.
So I'm sitting in, we're sitting in the locker,
or we're sitting in the training room,
and there's a huge rainstorm in Boston.
And we're all sitting there,
and they're reporting on it.
And one of the streets is over flooded in Boston.
And all of a sudden you see fucking flutie in a canoe in the background.
He's like, what's up?
And everyone's like, that's Doug Flutty.
He's in the...
He's like a flute.
He's an insane surfer.
Is he?
Yeah.
He does give that vibe totally.
He has good flow too.
Great flow.
He's a stud athlete at like everything.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
Is there such thing as like quarterback brain?
Like the bro, he was like a computer.
Like his knowledge was.
crazy. Like it just felt like when you talk to him, he just the way he talked about the game was
insane. I guarantee if you sat down with a cornerback, you would not, you would say yes,
there's definitely a quarterback break. Okay. Okay. That's what I thought. That's what I thought.
Well, those motherfuckers are athletic. Yeah, yeah. That's all you need to be. That's why I was surprised.
I was like, wow, this guy is like hyper intelligent towards the game. Like, but I guess you have to be.
But so who's the quarterback?
The dumbest quarterback?
No, who's the quarterback?
Marcus Russell?
In your group of comics.
Oh, like, in my squad between me, Ders and Adam,
or you're saying like...
Yeah, in your squad.
Who's the quarterback brain?
Oh, man.
I mean, Ders is the most intelligent as far as, like...
Yeah, yeah, I would say Ders.
Ders? Yeah, he breaks down, like, movies,
and like he attacks things from a writer's perspective.
So like he was kind of the one who was like breaking down the formula of comedy.
Why you watch a TV show and an episode is good,
there's usually you can break it down why.
Which is like a quarterback because he has to know conceptually what's going on with everything.
Right.
At the line of scrimmage, the offense, the line, the running back, the receiver.
So that's the quarterback brain.
Yeah, Ders is definitely the quarterback.
There's is the quarterback.
Yeah.
Quarterback brain.
I like that.
Quarterback brain, we got to use it.
Bro, I don't want to out.
Flutty.
You remember his rider
when he came on the pod, though?
What?
Remember his, like,
rider, like the things he wanted us
to have for him?
What was it?
Five hour energy and starbursts.
I was like, bro.
I like Flutty.
He's stone.
That's like the most stoner thing ever.
But he's just,
I don't think he is at all.
I think he's anti-stone.
I believe it.
He's like full.
What is it?
it eugenics.
Yeah.
Eugenics.
Oh yeah.
It's been Frank Thomas, bro.
You're still bricked up.
And your girlfriend.
Like in two.
No low tea around those guys.
We were, we were grilling him about that because when we did the Super Bowl show,
I, we took our testosterone test and I scored the lowest, unfortunately.
But I took it early.
I was tired.
But yeah, so we were like, yeah, so maybe get me on a cycle or something.
But you just become the third guy in the commercials?
Hey, hey, Doug.
I'm in a canoe.
Seriously, bro.
All right.
Welcome to Games with Names.
Today we are looking at game four of the 2022 NBA finals.
Yes.
Between the Warriors and Celtics.
Wow.
With Blake Anderson from Workaholics himself.
I'm hyped.
I'm so juiced.
I needed this in my life as a Warriors fan.
I actually watched it last night.
And it brought me back to just such a happy place.
It did it?
I think 2022 might have been the greatest year ever.
Why?
I feel like, you know, we were like just kind of like hot out of like COVID.
So like I was done with like just doing puzzles all day.
We were back in the streets.
Like sports were firing on all cylinders.
We had like the year before to clear all the air and we were just back.
We were back at it.
boy were we
I just remember
as soon as like the regulations
and everything left
there was like a renaissance
everyone was just getting hammered
people were fighting at stadiums
people didn't know how to react to people
it was like a fun time
yeah I mean
I was just like
for a year just listening to like
like rush and doing puzzles
that was that was it
so once the
once the chains came off
I was ready to party
perfect
parties
I mean, geez.
Yeah.
In one sentence, why'd you pick this game?
Steph Curry is my battery.
Steph Curry is your battery?
Yes.
He's like, just watching him again, like,
I don't think Steph really looks back on his career
because it's not time yet.
He's not done yet.
Still going.
But like, and neither do I.
So that, as a fan, I don't really like look at what he's done.
But when I watch,
vintage Steph Curry, it's so invigorating. Like he is just like, he's just the man, dude.
He's the man. He makes me feel more alive when I watch him. Is this the greatest game of all
time? This game? It's so hard to pick one with Steph. Like he has so many great games, but I like
this game a lot because you can just sense the fear the Celtics have of Steph because, because
coming stuff. What is the greatest game of all time? Any sport?
Hmm. That's a really, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a puzzler.
The greatest game of any sport. That's what this podcast is kind of like. It's kind of like you during
COVID. We just sit and listen to rush and try to figure the puzzle out of what the best game of all
time is. The best game of all time? I mean, look, the one that's just coming to mind, just,
because I think it will like
everybody as people
from the United States might be able to
agree like remember the in the Olympics when it was
the Steph Curry game against France
that game was pretty sick
Steph Curry and LeBron
and LeBron and finally had a chance
to root for LeBron like of course
I'm a LeBron hater
sports wise I love LeBron
I think he's well I think Steph's the goat
but LeBron is one of the greatest
if not the greatest basketball player athlete of all time,
but I have never got to root for him.
Yeah, I mean, that's what's been really cool about all this
baseball,
World Baseball Classic, the Olympics with the hockey team
in the future or the Spring Olympics coming up with the basketball.
Spring Olympics. Spring Olympics, summer Olympics.
Spring Olympics would go off. It's just like flower picking.
Yeah, it'd be safe.
But you get to root for guys you normally hate.
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
It is.
That's why I kind of get bummed at like All-Star Games across the board with all-sports are kind of like losing luster.
But like back in the day, All-Star Games as a kid, like that was, you got to root for people that you admired or hated.
They were like the opposite end of the, you know, they were on other teams.
So it was just like a cool moment where people came together.
That's what life should be about.
1,000 percent.
Yeah, coming together.
Now take us through your sports fan.
random. You're from the Bay.
I am. Who are your teams?
I am a 49er,
Oakland Athletic,
warrior shark.
That's, that's it.
That's almost kind of like a
Long Island person that likes
the Giants
and the Mets.
That's kind of weird. Because I'm a Bay guy too.
I'm a West Bay kid. You're a Concord where Dela Sawa's.
The elite high school that everyone heard about.
We beat him in improv, though.
We did beat him in improv.
You had an improv against the team?
Yes, we had an improv.
Devil Mountain Improv League.
Mount Diablo, yes.
Or how we say it, Diablo, Mount Diablo.
We got to hear more about this league.
That's crazy.
Yes.
So you guys just sit and improv against each other?
You would go to the schools and you would do an improv show, like whose line is it anyways or whatever.
So we pulled up to De La Salle.
See, this is how gang.
We were, dude.
So I was pretty good at improv.
I mean, clearly you guys have improv.
Yeah.
We would pull up to schools, like whether it's like Ignacio Valley or De LaSalle.
And people at their schools would be there like with signs for us for Clayton Valley.
Because they were like, you know, like Blake and Teddy and Kyle are really funny.
Wow.
Yeah, we flipped.
But isn't acting so subjective?
How do they grade it?
No, no, you watch the Oscars, man.
It's competition.
You have to approach acting, not as an art.
It is a sport.
It is a sport.
That's some shallomay brain right there.
I love that.
There's winners and there are losers.
Is there a trophy or a belt?
There was a trophy.
Actually, what you would win is a bottle of gold slager.
And yes, we weren't legal.
We weren't allowed to drink it.
And actually, James Fester took the bottle and he threw it out of a van
because he didn't want us drinking it.
still pissed about that dude.
You guys literally got a bottle of gold dust?
Gold slugger.
Remember it had the gold dust.
Yeah, we could have siphoned the gold
and like made money or something.
The fact that James threw it out the van was absolutely,
it like broke my brain.
I was so mad at him,
but he was so against underage drinking
and shout out to James.
Shout out.
That's probably the best thing for it.
Yeah, like honestly, you're a good dude.
But like I wanted to drink that gold.
slug are so bad.
It's cinnamon flavor.
It's full of golden slug.
Is it uniforms?
Like I'm really, I can't get past this improv team.
Our school did have uniforms.
Yeah, we had like red jerseys.
You could like, you could choose what type you want.
You could have like a basketball like like a tank top.
You could, I went with soccer.
It was really cool, dude.
You have a number.
That's so sick.
Shout out Tom, Tom Wills, my theater teacher.
Let's go Tom Wills.
How that I was a gangster.
Did you play any other sports or anything?
Other sports.
I mean, we'll put that in the sport category.
Theater sports.
Theater sports, yeah.
I grew up playing soccer.
Soccer.
Yeah, yeah.
And I did a little bit of baseball, but I was, I wasn't good.
I was bad at baseball.
So what position in soccer?
I was actually a fullback.
I played defense.
And then, you know, as you get older, they started to move me up to like sweeper
because I could cover a lot of ground.
But I wasn't, I kind of would get scared when I got to the goal.
Like I didn't know how to put the ball in the net.
Yeah.
but I could take it all the way up the field.
He just couldn't finish it.
Yeah, I'm just like, then I'd be like, what do I do now?
Just kind of kick it out of bounds.
Kind of like the fast kid from a D2 Mighty Ducks
who had all the speed, but he couldn't stop or score.
Yes, exactly.
So you have speed?
Yeah, I was pretty fast.
That's Rodriguez.
Rod Rodriguez.
Yeah, I was pretty fast for a while.
And then I don't know if I'm fast anymore, though.
Now that I'm a grown man, I don't think I'm that fast.
What's up with Oakland losing every sport team?
It truly,
breaks my heart.
I don't, it, it makes me so sad.
When I, when I think about it, it just breaks my heart because I feel like what's going to happen to Oakland?
Like, it's losing its entire identity.
It's so sad, dude.
It is.
It's like, it's like ripping the heart out of the bay.
Like, it's Oakland and San Francisco, and that, that is what it is.
And the fact that there's no teams left in Oakland is just so sad.
Like, what's going to happen besides it turned into, like,
a weird, like, artist community.
Or it just goes away.
Yeah, it's a sad thing because, I mean,
I was a West Bay kid,
and I was diners, giants.
But everyone always had love for the A's.
It may have been the hat.
It may have been, you know what I mean?
All-time hat.
And the Warriors,
Basque, Rose.
Oakland, come across the bay to the San Francisco.
Have you been to that arena?
The new one?
I haven't been to the new arena.
Is it good?
I have.
Chase?
Yes, I have.
It's fucking sick. It's not Oracle, though.
It's not Oracle.
Oracle was like, it's the same thing with, like, all the new arenas.
It's like, to me, I describe them as they kind of feel like airports, you know?
Yeah, because you can self-check out and do all the crazy shit.
Exactly.
Hit the Hudson News.
Exactly.
It just doesn't feel like alive, like, it's part of the city or the town or whatever.
It just, yeah, but the roots, do you mess with the,
Ruth, the soccer team?
I'm more of a rev's guy.
Oh, okay, cool.
Cool.
Roves guy, Revolution.
Nick to England.
Shout out.
Yeah, the Ruizs are holding down now.
The quakes, yeah.
Like the quakes.
Down for them.
But yeah, like Oakland Roots play at the Coliseum, like, so at least it's not like,
man, completely deserted.
The Coliseum, bro.
I played a game.
I got to play in the Coliseum.
You did?
Doing what?
Football.
Oh, yeah.
I'm like, I forgot where I was.
That's right, because the Raiders played there.
The Raiders used to play there.
I'm like, because I played like a celebrity softball game there.
I'm like, did you do like a celebrity softball game there?
I forgot.
I forgot that football team also played there.
Yeah.
I mean, it was, there was a true home field advantage in Oakland, man.
My mom or the jersey almost got killed.
Oh my gosh.
Dude, it was so sick how like the baseball diamond would be in the middle of the
football field.
Like, that was so special.
It was special, but it was terrible for the athletes.
What was the deal?
Were the groundskeepers just like, fuck it?
No, it's because they were in both seasons.
They're like, yo, they're playing.
You guys wrap it up.
Wrap it up.
The A's have to play tonight.
Yeah.
But hockey and basketball can do it.
Yeah, but you can't put like sawed grass on the dirt
because it would be a looser grass.
So then you could blow out a knee or something.
Okay.
I guess I see that.
man up, dude. Or just man up. Or just man up. Or just man up. But if you get a little
raspberry from the dirt, some could say that's manning up. You're doing right. Some
could say that's man enough. That's cool, man. What's your, uh, what's your Mount Rushmore
of the Bay? Athletes. You're saying. Just the Bay. Just the Bay. Just the Bay. Bay Area.
Clam Chow. Chowardee. E40. Sourdough. Dre. What is that? The, E40, absolutely.
Look, I think of people.
So, yeah, I'll say E40,
Steph Curry,
Ricky Henderson.
Ricky.
Mm-hmm.
Who's gonna get?
I'll go, I'll go MacDray, for sure.
MacDray?
Yeah, that's a real list.
No, Joe Montana?
No, Joe.
Oh, dude.
I love Joe.
I love Joe.
I was a Joe guy.
Oh, me too.
Joe Montana was the absolute goat.
But I also really loved Ronnie Lott.
Who didn't?
Guy played a regular season with his pinky cutoff.
I know.
That's real bay.
Real crazy.
That's real cray.
That's real cray.
Now, how do you be a Niners fan when you're from the East Bay?
Just because the Niners were that sick?
It's just how my father raised me.
Raised your pops.
That's how it goes.
If you look at there's like, he was a good dad like that.
Like he would dress me up in all, in all Niners stuff, put like a Budweiser in my hand.
There's plenty of like photos.
Manors and rules.
Yeah, yeah.
There's plenty of photos of me just like head to toe Niners gear with a beer.
And I'm three.
I miss the 90s.
Yeah, it was good.
I missed the 90s, especially in those old Niners.
The old Niners gear was sick.
You probably had the gold jacket.
Remember the gold?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's Mando.
Man.
It's Mando.
You've got to have the gold jacket.
Is there a celebrity bay chat?
group, like a Bay Celebrity Chat Group that you're in or anything?
You know?
Like, are you fans with any other?
I like, there's no group.
There should be a Bay Area group chat.
That actually would be really dope.
Like, from time to time, like, Andy Sandberg will hit me up because he's Berkeley.
Like, I'm homies with, like, Bay Area rappers, like, Pilo and all that.
But that's mostly just, like, through, like, DMs.
There's not, like, a Bay Area, like,
group techs, which would be off the chain.
We need to get it going.
I know.
I might join it too.
That would be cool.
You got to be the starter.
Yeah, you guys got to be the starters.
I got to start it.
So we just.
I couldn't be the starter because I have too much Boston now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's the deal?
Like,
I still love.
I mean,
I grew up loving the Niners Giants.
Yeah.
Warriors until they got good.
Yeah.
Because I left when they got good.
I went to college.
And then then I moved to Boston.
And then like I wasn't going to stay up until 12.
o'clock to watch a game. I know that it's so crazy watching sports on the East Coast. It's insane.
Like, you forget how nice it is out here that you can like go to dinner after football is done.
Yeah. Out there. You're on the couch all day long. Maybe get a brunch in, but you're on the couch all day long watching football.
Doesn't sound terrible. I know, but maybe, you know, Sunday, you get a nice Sunday dinner with the family,
seven, eight o'clock. You do that here. I think I'd rather watch live sports than whatever.
the fuck I'm watching on YouTube at night.
Like now I just go down a hole of like,
what's the best frozen food at Trader Joe's?
It's like, what am I doing?
What am I watching?
Those hash browns.
I think it's the like the Indian food.
Oh yeah.
Like the butter jam.
I like the tiki masala burritos they got.
Do they have them still have them?
Kind of fire.
Yeah, they're here.
I don't think they discontinued.
Sometimes they like find glass in their food.
Yeah.
It's chill.
What's the chili verde,
green burritos insane?
You know what's up?
You know what's up.
You know ball.
You know ball.
We talk about that all the time.
He's a ball nover.
Shane Gillis always uses that.
This guy.
Shane's a good dude.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
I'm Luke Wilson.

The story of the sports most consequential driver strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently cloburned.
out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career,
a success story, a cautionary tale,
or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention,
and he maybe started to think,
I'm bigger than this, I'm better,
and plenty of other mishapsed scandals and sagas
that have made Formula One
a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire
for more than 75 years.
Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Lori Siegel, a long-time tech journalist.
And consider my new podcast, mostly human, your bridge to the future.
Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app.
And it's very empowering.
Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future.
And we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you.
What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion,
they're actually dating the companies that create this.
We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in huge.
human history. And let's be honest, that can be messy.
There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.
But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment.
Mostly Human will show you how.
My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit.
The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people,
then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast.
My latest episode is with Noah Kahn, the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit, stick season, and one of the biggest voices in music today.
Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career.
It's easy to look at somebody and be like,
your life must be so sick.
Man, you have no
clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff,
it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.
I'm just now trying to unwind this idea
that I have to be unhealthy physically
or in pain in some emotional way in my life
to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job,
I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Someone says that I suck.
I'm like, I suck.
Getting to talk about this is not common for me.
Right now, I need it more than ever.

if you're not off the ship by seven they will beat the fuck out of you like take it seriously like get out of here be ready to
to go. And I was like, that's cool because I would have slept in for sure.
1,000% you got to. So I spent the whole last night just like stressing, like packing like at
3 a.m. like, oh God, they're going to kill me. I'm going to get left in Mexico, which wouldn't be
terrible. Right now? We pulled up during that. Oh. Like when the whole cartel thing was going
down, like my mom's like texting me. My dad's texting me like, are you sure it's okay to go to
Casamel or whatever and I'm like looking at
CNN but you don't really get any sort of

know. We're just going to go. And we,
It was lit, dude. Senior frogs was popping off, dude.
Sure, there were armed guards everywhere in the streets with machine guns.
But that, to me, that feels safe.
And it brings the excitement up.
Yeah, it's like, maybe we can get these guys to do a shot.
Like, come on.
Dude, senior frogs, we're all family.
Come on, now.
Dude, I love senior frogs.
All-timer.

So what is this comedy cruise?
You guys go on a cruise and everyone, do you perform on the cruise?
we did
we did two live podcasts
and then it's basically
just like drinking games
and then we got a ton of like
really awesome stand-up comedians
and a couple musical acts as well
that sounds awesome
dude I was like dreading it
because I'm like oh we're trapped on a boat
with like fans who could be insane
but everybody who came on the ship
like was so cool man
it just was like
it was a great time
you know when you're like around
people and everybody's just like the vibes
are good and you just come out of it being like
yeah man this can work
like people can be cool
and it can rock and we can all just be happy
it was very it was very uplifting

here and there
well solid go to dude that's a salt
you can never you can't fuck up a pot sticker
I mean there's good pot stickers
and there's bad pot stickers,
but even a bad pot sticker
is like a slice of pizza, it's good.
Exactly.
So it'd be like, I'd be passing
and I'd say, oh, pot stickers and just handful.
And then other than that,
it was like buzz balls and beer.
Hell yeah.
Man, just getting lit.
Dude.
V-lit.
V-lit.
Now, can you smoke on those things?
You can't, which is crazy.
I think there might be smoking cruises,
maybe, or like you just wait
until you get to Mexico
and then it's just bonged.
rips and then and then you're back.
It's mostly edibles.
It's edible.
Probably pens.
Yeah, but they even like the pens.
They're like...
The trip on pens.
How are they going to see you outside?
I see.
I'm pictured...
I never went on a cruise.
I'm picture...
Me neither.
Oh, you...
You weren't there?
I wasn't there, bro.
If you saw me, you didn't see me.
I'm thinking of Titanic where they got a lot of time outside on the deck and it's
outside at night.
They're smoking.
They were talking about a lot of time off boat and titan.
They were bonged.
They were bonged out of the Titanic.
holes on the high seas.
They're like, dude, wait.

Just driving it like his little cutless,
cutless Supreme.
All right, back up, back up.
We hit the burn.
We hit the burn.
Ghost ride the fucking ship.
Damn, ghost ride the ship.
Okay, we could throw a Bay Area cruise
called Ghost Ride the Ship.
Whoa, right there.
Like, honestly.
E40.
Before hologram, Mac Dre.
We'll throw in Mac Mall.
Too short, we'll be in there.
Too cheesy.
We'll bring Jerry Rice.
He's in.
Joe Montana.
We'll have a hologram of Dwight Clark.
Howie Long.
This is awesome.
Who's captaining the ship?
Clay Thompson.
He loves the ocean.
He loves the ocean.
He used to drive to work on a boat.
I know.
And then he started riding a bike.
That's sick.
Not school.
Dude,

Mount Rushmore. Dude. I hate that I'm saying that, but I love Clay Thompson with all my heart.
I love you, Clay. You are a great person. We did a commercial with Clay and his people sent a deck,
like a five slide deck on how much he loves the ocean. That was it. That's all it was. It was just pictures
of him on the ocean like this being like, Clay loves the ocean because it's wet. Clay loves the ocean
because he eats the food from it.
Five pages.
I love that.
Dude.
Shout out to Anta, his shoes.
Onta.
The Chinese brand.

That's smart.
I love that.
Why retire in Florida

Do Chinese food?
China is the Florida of Asia.
Duh.
Yeah.
I thought that was Vietnam.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
Vietnam is definitely the Florida
Or Thailand's in there too
Thailand could be like the Bahamas
Sound off the comments

Asia
Everyone that goes to South Asia

The Bay Area is so good at branding.
It's crazy.
I still, I'll get in a wormhole like you said when you're on YouTube.
I'll get in a wormhole just listen to the E40 speak.
Oh, yeah.
What are you talking about?
Dude, he, through my childhood, every CD in the back said,
wait for E40's dictionary book of slang, like coming to bookstores.
I don't think he ever dropped it.
He needs to do it.
Yeah, it's time.
That'd be a New York best seller.
Oh, the top of the charts.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
you get a yang.
What an only
E-muth-f-fog.
Gouda.
Gouda.
That white,
what was that?
My ghetto report card
when that came out?
I was rocking that in Ohio.
People look at me like,
what the fuck are you listening to you?
That's so cool.
Everyone who's not from the Bay hates Bay music.
They used to.
Yeah.
We were kids.
Yeah.
It infiltrated like,
I feel like DJ Mustard,
for what it's worth,
he has a Bay Area sound and he was kind of.
But then again,
I'm in such a California
a bubble.
I don't,
I'm so West Coast,
dude.
See, I went,
when I went,
I never left the West Coast
and I went to college.
I was 19 in Ohio.
Swag.
And all the guys were from like Maryland,
Florida,
Georgia,
Texas,
some from Ohio,
and no one.
They're like,
you guys are so weird.
You guys are so weird.
You guys say hell all time.
It was just like,
no one fucked with it.
Now it's changed and it's become cool.
her.
Yeah, but that was also what was cool about.
That was the cool of it that no one fucked with it but us.
Exactly.
We wore our weird.
We're like,
we're happy to be weird.
That's kind of like what Mack Dre was like the poster child for.
It was like,
whoa,
what's this like weird hip hop guy who's doing Molly and wearing huge sunglasses
and still pretty active in gang culture as well?
It's like,
what the hell?
It didn't add up.
It didn't make sense.
In Kansas City.
Casey took out Drey, bro.
Took out our guy.
It's crazy.
Crazy.
Can you walk us through how you guys formed the workaholics group?
I mean, it started in community college.
That's where I met.
Orange.
Orange Coast Community College.
Coast Marits.
Coast to Mesa.
Shout out.
It's the Bay of L.A.
Great mall.
Great mall.
Great mall.
I met Adam in community college in improv class,
and it was kind of a moment where, like, you know,
coming from my high school,
I felt like I was pretty much the funniest guy at school.
But then, like, you know, you go to college
and people from other places and was like, whoa,
this dude is actually really funny.
Like, holy shit, maybe we should be friends.
And kind of, like, talk to him and found out, like,
he used to film stuff with his homies and make sketches back in Omaha.
And then that's like what me and my boy Kyle used to do and conquered.
And it was kind of like, well, maybe we start shooting stuff together.
And what, like they ended, Adam and Kyle ended up moving to Hollywood.
And I stayed back in OC.
And that's where Adam met Durs at Second City.
And they started to film stuff.
And it was kind of like, well, there's still this dude Blake in Orange County who,
maybe we can get him involved.
So we just started shooting sketches
and putting them on YouTube.
Well, first it was MySpace.
Yeah.
And like just having other...
Yeah, Tom. Top eight, baby.
Still top eight, baby.
Yeah, it was just weird.
It was cool to be able to put...
Because we, you know, we were filming stuff
and just there was nowhere to show it.
Public access maybe.
Like, but nobody's watching that.
But then when you started with the internet and YouTube,
like, you started getting views,
people started to like watch you.
It was like, holy, like this, maybe this is the way.
Yeah.
I mean, pioneers.
Yeah.
Low key.
Low key, very pioneering.
It was.
We, it was very too short in that way.
We got it out of the trunk, man.
We were really independent hustled.
You know, it was funny because when you brought up like, when you met Adam and he was like,
you were the funniest guy at your school.
And he, like, then you meet people from other school.
It reminded me of when, you know, when I went to college.
and you're playing football
and you're like,
I was a baddest motherfucker
on my high school.
Then you see some other dude
and you're like,
oh that motherfucker
he was a badest high school
his high school.
And then you like,
it creates almost like
a cool competition
steel on steel
versus steel
versus steel
that makes everyone better.
Yeah, dude.
Like it,
I kind of expected myself
to not like Adam
because it's like,
wait,
this guy maybe is funnier than me.
Like,
but it wasn't that.
It was like,
oh shit.
Like,
what if we combine forces?
What if we click up and like make something together?
Yeah.
And that's where it was like, oh, cool, man.
That's what it's all about.
Like, thank God I didn't go to the community college in the bay, DBC.
DVC.
I went to CSM.
Yeah.
I felt like I just would have probably just been with my same homies from high school and
not expanded my horizons.
So taking that sort of small leap to go to.
Costa Mesa was actually a pretty big jump in my life.
1,000% yeah.
That's awesome.
Yeah, man, it's cool.
Did you guys actually live in that house?
We did.
Yeah, we lived in Van Nuys together.
That's the house we shot workaholics in.
So me, Adam, Kyle, who's Carl, the drug dealer, and he's the director of most of
workaholics has since gone on to do Happy Gilmore, too.
Shout out to Kyle.
Shout out, Kyle.
He directed Jules in the commercial.
He directed me in a Verizon commercial.
Yes.
I remember we were grilling him because Kyle like doesn't know any sports at all.
It was like, dude, like, come on, man.
This is like a cool opportunity.
It was fun.
I think we had, I was on a big letter or something.
There's like a big Verizon sign with, what's her name, the funny S&L chick.
Kristen Wig.
Years ago.
This was, I think this was like eight years ago.
Oh, it'll come to me.
I forget.
A Verizon commercial.
Cecilie's strong.
Cessaly.
Oh, yeah.
Very funny.
That's cool, man.
How was Kyle?
Was he adornment?
He was cool.
No, he was really cool.
Too laid back?
No.
You know, as an athlete, when you go on sets of things, you don't know if you're getting everyone's real how they are with the actor.
Right, right, right.
Because they're still like, oh, this guy's an athlete.
Right.
Yeah, that was it.
Dude.
Look at you.
That's all CGI.
That's not the Coliseum.
You weren't there?
No, that's all green screen, baby.
Damn. That's Hollywood Magic.
Movie magic. That is a real
letter though, right? Dude, we had to
do our thing on a big ass, like, letters.
Like, I was Donald Duckin.
It's like Sesame Street?
Full. Have you done Sesame Street?
No. Dang. No. I didn't know
they're still wrong. Yeah. It's on like
Max though now, I think, right? It's on HBO.
Yeah, I don't think. Is it on PBS?
Now they're so nudity? No, no.
That's cool. Sesame Street,
HBO, Max.
The Cookie Monster doesn't eat cookies anymore.
more though. He's vegetables, I think.
That's ridiculous.
It used to be a country.
You have the kids, you kind of get it.
Yeah.
Because the sugar does, it is addicting for these little fucks.
Hey, man, that's my biggest cross to bear is sugar.
Sugar.
Sugar.
You're a sugar fiend.
Oh, man, I love sugar.
What's your favorite sugary thing?
I love, like, sour candy.
Oh, my God.
I just will smash like Sour Patch kids.
But I go deep, man.
It's bad.
Watermel.
I was always a sour punch person.
I like Sour Punch way better.
a sour patch.
Yo, they used to have these things
called punchies.
They were like...
The cut up ones.
Yeah.
I just liked the...
I liked it better.
I thought they were a little sweeter.
Look, that's a good product.
I'm not gonna dogg on that at all.
I'm not gonna dogg on that at all.
The sweet father.
Oh, yeah.
So good.
You're the sweet for the sugar dad?
Sugar.
You didn't want to say
Daddy so bad that you called...
You said Sugar Father?
What did you say?
Sweet father.
father,
he's a sweet dad.
He's a sweet dad,
dad, man.
You can call me sugar daddy.
It's fine.
Sugar daddy.
Sweet father.
Sweet, I am your father.
I'm watching those right now with my kid.
Star Wars.
Star Wars.
Watch all the Star Wars.
From the news.
Well, we're starting from
chronological order,
or from the timeline.
I'm sorry.
So we started episode one, two, three.
That's a bummer.
Dude, she's into it.
Really?
I wasn't that crazy into it as a kid, but it's been fun to get into it.
I loved Star Wars.
I was like all in.
When I saw Chewbacca, I'm like, yeah.
It's fun to rewatch them in order.
Oh, yeah, no, those movies are cool.
Like, I like the Podracer one.
Yeah, and she's so, like, infatuated, like, wait, so Annikin's bad because he wanted to save his wife?
Dang.
You know what I mean?
The dark's, like, learning the way of the Sith.
She's like, but that's saving his wife.
Dang, that's heavy.
Wasn't that heavy.
I was like, yeah.
Then why are you crying?
Why are you talking about it?
I just like the pod races, okay?
What about Jar Jar Jar?
She, in her out on Jar Jar Jar Beech.
She, I don't think she really cared about him.
I don't, she was all about, she, I think she fell in love with the love.
Because she's nine, turn in 10 and like, Padamee and,
Anakin story.
And there's a meme going around with the kids about Darth Vader with his helmet off.
So she's like super infatuated with like, wait, this guy's hand.
He's like good looking.
And Darth Vader's ugly.
And then we saw when he gets all burned up, she goes, oh.
Yeah.
That's how he becomes Darth Vader.
Yeah.
And he probably started eating candy too because he's a little heavy when he gets the.
He's a sugar dad.
He's a sweet father.
He's a sweet father for sure.
He's a sweet father.
Absolutely.
Now, you guys live in this house
You live in this house
In Vennes
Yes. Ben-Eyes. Yes.
Van-Oise.
Van-Oise.
Van-Oise.
Van Nuys.
Van Nuys.
Did you guys like throw parties at this thing or anything?
And like say, hey guys, everyone's got to be up by three
We're filming tomorrow at noon.
Here's the deal.
If you know anything about Southern California,
you can get no chicks to go to Van Nuys.
It's impossible.
It's literally impossible.
So we would be driving into L.A. to the improv to go see comedy.
Adam would do stand up.
Like he'd kill the set.
We'd be like, yo, we got a pool.
Like, it's a pretty big house.
And like, all you have to do is just get on the freeway,
drive for 30 minutes and go to Van Nuys.
And everybody would be like, yeah, no, that's not happening.
So the parties were just us playing beer pong together.
Standard.
It was cool.
It was young 20s.
That's what it was, right?
But we could not get any sort of function going, except for the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl people would come out for it.
Subi.
We always threw really good Super Bowl parties.
Why?
How?
Cags.
Cegs in a pool.
And pizza?
Oh.
Six foot sub?
Weeks.
Dude.
Oh, well, I worked at Saco's subs.
Shout out, Westwood.
Establishment.
RIP to Saco's subs.
But they would give me free sandwiches.
So, yeah.
So you were the fucking food guy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Sokos was in the building.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
I'm Luke Wilson.

Look no further than No Grip,
a new podcast tackling the culture of Motor Racing's most coveted series.
Join me, Lily Herman.
as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F-1,

The story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out,
and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F-1 career,
a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years.
Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Lori Siegel, a longtime tech journalist. And consider my new podcast, mostly human, your bridge to the future.
Anyone can now be an entrepreneur. Anyone can build an app.
And it's very empowering.
Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future.
And we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you.
What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion,
they're actually dating the companies that create this.
We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history.
And let's be honest, that can be messy.
There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.
But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment.
Mostly Human will show you how.
My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit.
The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people,
then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast.
My latest episode is with Noah Kahn.
the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit stick season
and one of the biggest voices in music today.
Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success,
his struggles with mental health and body image,
and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career.
It's easy to look at somebody and be like,
your life must be so sick.
Man, you have no clue.
Talking about the mental illness stuff,
it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.
I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be on how,
healthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Someone says that I suck. I'm like, I suck.
Getting to talk about this is not common for me.
Right now I need it more than ever.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I love ordering for the group.
Yeah.
He's very good at it.
Good at it. It's very good at it. And thinking about everything and getting everyone. And when I see the order when people are eating and if everyone is satisfied, feel so happy inside.
I see it. I see it in your eyes right now. I don't know. I think food's my love language.
Hey, that for a lot of people, that's a very strong love language.
You know, because I enjoy food and when you see others enjoying the food, like that's sick.
It gets you going.
I never really asked, like, what's your, like, what's the secret to it?
I just enjoy and take part of it, but like, break it down for them.
What goes into the order?
Some people, like, hear colors.
I get, like, you.
Take us inside, the mind of the math.
I hear appetizers.
And not just with the types of food, but the amount.
You're like, oh, that one needs three, because I know that's going to be the winner.
It's just, you know, it's a refined thing over years of doing.
Art, meat, science, all that.
What's your Mount Rushmore of appetizers?
Oh.
These are hard questions.
That's like when you ask me, what's the greatest game ever?
Like, I mean, an app.
Okay, healthy?
I'm saying.
Well, I'm just saying, because you always throw one healthy thing in there
because there's always going to be one person, like, I'm a gluten-free.
You go with like a hummus plate of some sort.
Okay, okay.
Or with like the dipping vegetables in like a grilled pita or something.
There we go.
I'm a huge...
I mean, mozzarella cheese sticks.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Poppers or whatever.
I used to eat them so fast that I choke on them.
I threw up in a chili's two separate times because I just, I just would inhale them.
And then they would get lodged and my mom would have to like pull it out of my throat.
That's how good those are.
You ever read Ospie?
Uh-uh.
Ospie's right down.
There's like, it's an Italian joint around here in L.A.
And they have like this fancy mozzarella stick that my daughter loves.
It's a provol.
alone like circle, like cylinder.
Hello.
Or like whatever disc.
Hello.
And it has a good vodka on there.
So I put that in like the mozzarella stick game.
Okay.
Wings are always a killer, but I got to go three flavors.
You always go with a barbecue, a buffalo, and then some sort of dry rub just to get everyone
happy.
Absolutely.
Some people.
Some people.
Some people don't like them.
I also
At an Italian joint
A pizza
Is an appetizer to me
So
You get the smaller pizzas
One slice per person
Just so we're not rookies
We don't get full on the pizzas
Because we're in the pasta and the parm
And you know the Conte comes
You just said one of the most gangster-ass things I've ever heard
You said a pizza
Is an appetizer to me
Just as an appetizer
That's gangster
I mean
if you're at the Italian joint
we're not at a pizza joint.
Right, right, right, right.
We're not at a pizza joint,
but some of the Italian joints
have like the thin pizzas.
It's a good appetizer.
Two salads.
One kale, one Caesar.
Caesar, everyone loves.
No anchovy.
Can never have anchovy.
No.
Because there could be a kid there.
The original Caesar was not made with anchovies.
No, but it does have anchovy paste in it.
Okay.
Hey, go off, King.
What do you got?
That was a topic of conversation the other time we were having a Caesar.
Yeah.
I didn't know that was it.
Are you sure it's in the Newman's own dressing?
Yes.
That's crazy to me.
It's invented in Tijuana.
That distinct taste that makes it separate from ranch.
I still just can't wrap my mind around that.
You never seen?
I know that it's in a Caesar.
I know anchovies at some point along the Caesar lineage became an ingredient.
But no one ever, like, 90% of the Cesar's, I don't have it.
It's in the dressing.
After you eat it, kind of like smell your breath.
Yeah.
You can smell the anchov.
That thing that makes it different than ranch.
That's also egg yolk in the...
You're saying Caesar is just ranch with anchovies in it?
Pretty much, bro.
That's true.
I don't know.
I digress.
And yarks.
Keep cooking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a white dressing with some tics.
That's not as great as ranch.
But it's pretty good.
Pretty good.
But it can be better than ranch in very specific instances.
No, it's not better than ranch.
The only thing that's good in the Caesar that you think is better than ranch is the
Cruton. I do love a crouton.
What about that thin? The Parmesan
Tuesday's fire, too. I mean, guys,
stop fighting. Do you like
shredded? Do you like the big, like
slices of the Parmesan? Like
the sprinkle? It looks like a patch
of skin. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know about that. I like that. Because then you got to
use your fork and knife for salad.
Yeah. What are we doing? If you're cutting the cheese
on a Caesar, we've taken out a wrong turn
sometimes. I mean, the apps can go
on for days. The salad words continue.
Wait, you're only at three right now. We're three or
No, you've got...
I think you went, did five.
You did hummus.
You did a little mitch.
Hummus,
mozzarella sticks,
three types of wings,
salad.
And a pizza.
And a pizza.
Blake,
we gotta get yours, man.
Blooming onion.
Ooh.
Come on.
Good.
But that,
the sauce is everything.
Oh,
yeah,
it's the best.
Like,
probably like a Tex-Mex egg roll.
Wings, for sure.
Oh, I forgot.
Potsikers are mine, too.
Yeah, Gioza, please.
Sorry.
Please.
We've, we've advanced.
And what else would be a, I mean, a really dope appetizer?
I just like French onion dip with like potato chips.
Love, yes.
Red Sox have unbelievable French onion dip.
Really?
Yeah, in the boxes.
I've never been to a red sauce.
You got to check it.
That's pretty tight.
It does seem pretty cool.
It's just so old, it's cool.
Yeah, I love.
Like that Rigley, you know, they're in Rigley.
and Green Bay, these like old...
I really want to go to Green Bay.
Green Bay's sick.
I think that would be a blast.
I wanted to just, like, be on the back of some, like, big grizzled dudes Harley and just
ride up to a Packers game.
Have a brat.
Eat a casserole.
Yeah.
That would be so fun.
All right.
Let's go back into...
Real quick.
I want one question about the house that you filmed.
Did you charge production for that?
Well, that's kind of how we settled on filming there is, you know, we shot basically a, uh, uh, you know, we shot basically
a five episode short
short episode thing for YouTube
and that's what Comedy Central saw
and it was like well
when we got Greenlit to do the production
they're like you know where do you want to film it
and we're like oh we'll go take a look at houses and stuff
and we saw some that were cool but we're like
hey if we film at our house
will you pay the rent and they're like yeah
and we're like we're shooting here let's go
we're shooting here I mean oh yeah
that's smart to kill two birds
one stone. Yeah, and we also, you know, we didn't know if we were going to get multiple seasons or
whatever. So it was like free rent for a year. Yeah, at least we get free rent for a year. So talk about
quarterback brain. Let's go. Quarterback brain. That's quarterback brain in the whole field.
Big quarterback brain, dude. All right, let's go back to time around where this game took place.
This game took place June 10th, 2022. We love it. We like to go over some of the pop culture.
Drastic World. Dominion was out. Number one movie. I don't know.
that one. I don't, they're on watchable. I forgot. Is that a Chris Pratt vehicle? It might be.
Gotta be. After the one where they went to San Diego, I got out. Remember they went to San Diego and
three? Yeah, I think that was my last one too. One was legendary. Of course. I, 94, we were both
kids. Yeah, I, I, I saw it in the theater and I had to close my eyes through the second half because
I was so scared. Terrified. Terrified. And I, everybody at school was talking about it. So, like,
I had to pretend like I saw, like I sat through it, but like literally I watched it all right.
Oh yeah.
Like the velociraptors were so real.
Dude, if it ain't got Wayne Knight, I'm out.
Hmm.
My role in Jurassic party.
Wait for you by Future and Drake featuring Drake was number one song.
Hop Gun Mavericks saved the movie studios this year.
Bob's Burger movie Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Jim Carrey Classic?
Wow.
All were in the box office.
The bear winning.
time and the rehearsal all premiered this year.
Oh, great show.
Love the rehearsal.
Oh, good.
What's Nathan going to do next is my question.
I'd do something fire.
Love Nate.
He's so fine.
What's your favorite sports movie?
Mm, rookie of the year.
Brinkma.
Rosen Gardner?
Yes.
I get Rousa, garden hosa, hot ice.
Nice guy.
Great film.
A great Bucie vehicle.
What's your dream role?
Oh, I think I would want to just play like a, like some kind of like a punk rocker.
I want to like just rock out.
You like punk rock?
Yeah, for sure.
Who's your punk rock band?
Probably bad brains.
Yeah.
I'm into like old school, hardcore stuff like that.
Burnstile, shout out to turnstile.
Those are the homies too.
Is there a role you missed that you wish you would have got?
Just Joker.
Yeah, just being the Joker.
You went for the joke now?
No.
I lost the Heath Ledger.
I was thinking if you never moved the other one with the other guy,
Joaquin Phoenix.
It's pretty big role too, I guess.
Yeah.
You want an Oscar for it?
Yeah, Jesus.
I got these.
Yeah.
That would be cool.
Jeez.
Speaking of TV, but weren't you just on Celebrity Jeopardy, bro?
I was.
That was, I kind of how did they go.
How was it?
I got in the last place, but I answered the second most questions correct.
Volume shooter, let's go.
I put up numbers, but I didn't know how to do the daily doubles, man.
I was really bad.
Were you going to mall?
Were you going for?
No, I was super skittish.
I was like, what was your daily double question?
The one that I missed that I like really bet on was the answer was Leif Erickson.
It was a Viking question, which Ders is like Norwegian and like I feel like it was set up for me,
but I just, I couldn't summon Leif Erickson.
All I could think was Eric the Red.
Rick the Red
I don't remember
That phone or friend category
On Jeopardy
Yeah
That way
Combined
What was like a piece of
What was that one
There's the Vikings show
How I was watching that for a while
He was like
There's like
Ten Vikings show
And they're all the same
Yeah
They're all pretty legit right
They're all good
Yeah
But they all have like the same characters
too
Yeah
All the like
Von Erickson's and stuff
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah it's hard to
differentiate
Did you go
Was it a true
Daily Double
I think that
one might have been because I was, I had to catch up. And if I would have got that one,
I, I, I think I would have won. I was a clicker. The clicker seems really hard too. I was good at
that. Oh, I grew up, I grew up playing video games. So like my, my, my, my thumb is fast.
Yeah. Like I can. What was your video game of choice? Uh, you know, played a lot of contra
growing up. Um, Metal Gear Solid is probably the best game of all time.
Smash Bros.
Smash Bros.
I play a lot of video games.
No first person shooters?
I did Modern Warfare a little bit, but like my brother was good at that.
It's too tweaker now.
Yeah.
You got to be really Adderald out to like even to compete with a 10-year-old anymore.
Yeah, I did like a Mountain Dew tournament where I was like linked up with this dude
named Priesta.
He's like a pro Xbox like Modern Warfare player and I couldn't be more proud of the kid.
just like incredible.
Like his parents were there
is like good for you man.
He's working the claw?
Yeah like he was doing the claw.
I think he invented it.
The claw, dude.
Anytime you see a kid with the claw,
you fucking just get out of the room.
Yeah.
Wait, let me see how that one go?
The claw is where they used both of these fingers
for the triggers.
Yep.
Oh, instead of just doing.
Instead of holding your controller like a normal human,
they like hold it like this.
Yeah, and they claw and they use their index fingers
for the joystick.
Yes.
And so they can get these ones.
If you're using claw or keyboard,
Get the fuck out
I'm not playing with you
I'm gonna name a man
This kid was so nice at the game
Like just incredible
Like now everyone's on the keyboards
Yeah
It's like cheating
I don't know about that
I've never done it
I don't know about that life
I don't know about that life
Yeah
I love proud video game parents
That rocks
Dude like that is so cool
Like could you imagine
Like punishing your kid
And being like
Get inside and play video games
Like cracking the whip on them
Like what are doing playing kick the can
You can't be a pro kick the can player
No
Get your ass in there
Go to war.
I want you to go do the rice buckets for 10 minutes.
Yeah.
Get your fingers strong.
I want rice.
Get the claw.
Claw grip.
We need iron claw.
The 90s fucking hand thing.
You got to do that in between games.
Drink a Mountain Dew.
I need some gamer fuel, son?
Isn't that cool?
Oh, my God.
That rocks.
Yeah.
I love that.
All right, Jackie.
Let's jump into the game.
Should we talk about the Celtics real quick?
Yeah.
51 and 31.
This is the first year, the E.
E.
Oh, yeah.
the short era.
J.B. What happened there?
What happened, he may? Oh, boy.
J.B.'s fifth year in the league. J.T.'s fourth.
We kind of measured things around here by the Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, pre and post, all that.
Notable assist. No, I do at least.
Damon Stottemeyer was on this staff.
Will Hardy, the current coach of the Jazz, was on this staff.
And, of course, Joe Missoula, our man, friend of the show, was also on this staff.
Marcus Smart, DPOY this year.
He was locking everybody up.
And then in the midseason, a trade that will change Celtics history forever.
We got Derek White, baby.
Wow.
From the San Antonio Spurge.
Shout out, Brad.
Brad went out and got him.
J.T. was balling out this year.
Average in almost 27 a game.
J.B. almost 24 a game.
This was a heck of a Celtics team.
Young guys, first trip to the finals this year.
So really coming together and jelling and making it work, baby.
Won the East beat the heat, got to the finals.
What were your thoughts about these Celtics?
Um.
didn't like him. Not really. No. We have hard for now, so I'm learning to like him. I'm a Tatum guy. I think
Tatum's dope. I also like Jaylen. He's cool. I mean, when you beat a team, because the Warriors
win this series, like, I don't hold resentment because like, so it's fine. Yeah, this is cool. Fine with me.
But it's like almost, I can, as a Bay Area person, when you're in the middle of a dynasty.
Yes.
Yes.
And you look over probably to the East Coast,
we're the West Coast,
everyone kind of takes the West Coast,
like we're secondhand,
sports citizens and shit.
I bet you there was some sort of like,
oh, we're about to,
yeah, everyone talks about this being the class of NBA,
we're about to show them.
Was there any of that?
Kind of like, fuck, fuck the old time self,
you know, was there any of that?
Yeah, you know, like,
Skittity scat?
Well, like, weirdly, like, you know,
living in L.A.,
there, of course, is like a ton of Celtics resentment.
I never really held that.
Like, I kind of grew up, like, thinking Larry Bird was really dope.
Yeah.
But I...
We didn't know that, though.
Yeah.
Because we were so bad for so long.
Oh, terrible.
I remember walking around Sun Valley Mall.
You could buy season tickets to Warriors game for $25.
They were selling them out of binders.
Yeah.
Like, they were begging people.
They were begging people to go to games.
I got my Spree World jersey at a Ross.
Dude.
For like eight bucks.
Yeah.
It was sick.
And it was like, I think it was a little fucked up.
If it was at Ross.
I think the lightning bolt was a little jacked up or something.
But it was...
Honestly, I might have to kick Clay off and put Spree well in my Mount Rushmore.
Did you?
Yes.
Baron Davis.
Barron Davis.
Love BD.
When he dunked them?
Oh, the dunk heard round the world.
Oh, that was over, what, AK-47 or one of those dudes?
Yes.
All-timer.
That was the best Dunkin Warriors history.
There was a, probably the second best dunk in Warriors history was
the series before this
when Wiggins dunked on
I think it was Luca
it was a sick dunk dude
and that's when I was like
we're gonna win the chip dude
like Wiggins is clicking
we got this dude bro how insane
was he that whole playoffs
it was unbelievable
he was the second best player
behind Steph like
and you know we were normally used to
like Clay being the guy
but Wiggins like stepped up so hard
it was insane bro like unstoppable
we got to look at this
have you done any crossover
in Boston, like comedy stuff.
Have you ever hung out in Boston?
I have spent, I've been to Boston like twice.
I spoke out of college.
I can't even remember what college it was,
but it was like a while back.
There's like Harvard.
Harvard, MIT, maybe.
Harvard?
Yeah, yeah.
It's not in Boston.
It's just outside of Boston.
I spoke at Harvard weirdly.
Some little school or something.
Yeah, they were asking me about appetizers.
I was like, okay, sure.
Yeah, no.
And then I forgive why the other.
reason I was there. I think we, oh, we went to Medford.
Medford. Nice. The Chevroleter. We did the pod there. Yeah. And that was actually the first show.
That's what we kicked off. It actually, we got COVID from there, like, immediately.
Oh, no. First show out. But it was a great show. It was a blast.
Hey, Boston will give it to you. Do Boston's cool, man. I'm into it.
What's up with your thoughts on Jalen Brown and Tatum? You like Tatum. I do like Tatum.
Yeah, I think they're cool. I think that I, they're not the Splash Bros.
though, huh?
No, I mean, yeah, they don't have, like, they don't, they don't, they don't have traction
for me.
They're kind of like plain Jane.
They need a hook.
Yeah.
Like, I know they're both ballers for sure, but they're, and I guess I like that, like
they're kind of unassuming, but there's something about them doesn't, just, they don't,
they don't got the hook.
Well, Jackie, why don't you break down the guys that do have the hook?
Why don't we break down these warriors?
Yeah, now, come on.
Talk to Bob.
I gotta talk some Warriors ball.
53 and 29.
This was a year, like, no matter who was on the roster or what the record was,
the doubt was still everywhere, man.
They hate like, oh, these guys are washed up.
Steph's can't do it anymore.
Clay's been too injured.
It was just like hate, hate, hate, hate everywhere.
It was insane.
Doubting them.
Third year at the Chase Center started out so hot, 18 and 2.
Steph, this was the year he broke the record for most three-pointers in NBA history
passed Ray Allen.
Clay made his return.
He'd been out for two years.
The Achilles and the ACL back to, I don't know how you come back from that.
He's just a beast.
Jordan Poole breakout season.
Everybody was a pool boy this year.
18.4 points per game coming out high.
He was like...
Wait, did...
He left the team, though, right?
He did.
This was free...
This one great...
Jermont beat him up?
Free, pre-smacked.
Right after...
The training camp after this.
Yeah, we were running high
and then Draymond punched pool
and everything has been in shambles since.
Kind of an AD, B, C sort of thing.
It really was a fork in the road for...
for everybody.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
I'm Luke Wilson.

The story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired,
freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F-1 career,
a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future,

What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion,
they're actually dating the companies that create this.
We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history.
And let's be honest, that can be messy.
There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.
But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment.
Mostly Human will show you how.
My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit.
The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people,
then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit stick season,
and one of the biggest voices in music today.
Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success,
his struggles with mental health and body image,
and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career.
It's easy to look at somebody and be like,
your life must be so sick.
Man, you have no clue.
Talking about the mental illness stuff,
it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.
I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhavened.
healthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Someone says that I suck. I'm like, I suck.
Getting to talk about this is not common for me.
Right now I need it more than ever.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What a wild moment?
Absolutely.
As a warrior's fan, like, how do you even process that?
like we could have ran it back.
Dude.
We could have got five.
But Draymond Punch Jordan Pool
at practice and then they leaked the footage.
How do you leak the footage from practice?
Who did that?
I thought about that like
where I was at.
If that was leaked, someone would have been missing.
Yeah.
Someone would have been killed.
Like you got what?
You guys get in tiffs on a team, right?
All day long.
Right?
That should have never been exposed to the.
the world. That was bullshit. Because then you have to address it. Like, because then like,
then it's a distraction. Yeah. And the internet be like, why'd you let him hit you? Like,
you're a bitch, all this. And then like the, you know, it's just, it sits off a chain.
I know. It's like, whatever happens behind closed doors between a team should only be known by that
100%. I'm with you. It's over. And I, and I, I guarantee, I mean, Draymond, he gets a lot of backlash
and all, all this stuff. But he's definitely the straw that stirs that drink on keeping the ship going. Because
you know, you know, Steph's not really, when he talks, everyone listens, but he's not talking all
the time probably.
Clay, he's out, you know, doing Clay things.
He doesn't seem like a talkative guy.
You need to have one guy like Draymond.
This was like crazy to me that whole thing.
That, it was the one time I was like, I can't back Draymond anymore.
I was like, I kind of wanted him off the team after that.
You wanted him off the team?
I kind of did.
You thought pool was that good?
It's just like you, I love Dremont, you know, you could stick him on anybody.
I like watching him like stop on Sabonis's chest and choke, like kill everybody.
But don't hit the homie.
Maybe the homie needed to get slapped.
Football's also a little different too.
Here's footage of Julian fighting someone on his team.
That's Stefan Gilmore.
His first hand pads.
What are you doing?
He was holding.
So I wanted to show him what he was doing to me.
Okay. Okay. So you're the Dremont.
No.
No, but, you know, this kind of stuff happens at practice.
We're professional athletes. We're competing.
Well, that's what's weird, too, is like,
Dreem on any time outside of...
Dude, what are you doing?
I ripped a dread out.
Oh, man.
I taped it to the back of my helmet for a day.
Shake them dreads. I like it.
That's one of my boys now, but...
Well, that's cool.
Gilly.
Football's different.
Football's different.
Football is different.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just like,
and anytime Draymond's not on the court,
he seems like the coolest normal cat,
but like, I don't know.
I also like that about him.
When he gets on the court,
he's an absolute monster.
He has no control.
Or maybe he's controlling his chaos.
This is true too.
Maybe one of the all-time,
love him if he's on your team,
hate him if he's not guys.
Absolutely, that may be that guy.
Absolutely.
I'm all in on Money Green,
but this year I was kind of,
or the year after this, I was like,
dude, maybe we have to move on.
It's tough, man.
Especially you're the guy, the aggressor.
You punched the guy on the face,
and then you get to stay and they ship the other guy out.
It's just wild.
I got a question for you.
How do you think Clayfield's being probably the second best shooter
in the history of the game playing with Steph?
Do you think he,
because when you watch those two play,
the Splash Brothers for like eight, nine years,
I mean, it was all day,
not just Steph.
Clay was out there,
that quick-ass release.
Dude.
Man, that would have been crazy.
The fact that they were both on the same team
at the same time is absolute insanity.
And most people are in agreement that Clay
has a better shot for him than Steph.
Yeah.
Like he's like a true pure shooter.
But also I think like,
as far as like what you're saying,
like the egos on the team are so in check.
Like everybody would,
It's just a really, really special team.
There's a reason they're a dynasty.
Like, it's just like, I couldn't ask for more as a fan.
Like, everybody's humble.
Everybody, like, felt like they were for each other, you know?
Nobody, Steph is not the guy who's like, I'm the goat.
He never is that guy.
And he just lets his game talk for him.
And I think everybody, like, follows in his greatness.
So, I don't know.
Who's the Steph Curry of comics?
Ooh.
The Steph Korea comics?
I was going to say Jim Carrey, but I don't know.
I don't know.
I love Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey rocks.
He just makes all his shots.
Well, then who's the Clay Thomas of comics?
The Clay Thompson of comics?
The quiet, unassuming Will Forte.
Ooh.
I like that.
Who's the Draymond Green?
Rodney Dangerfield.
Andrew does Clay.
No respect.
No respect.
There you go with these guys?
I have.
I've hung out with Clay
like pretty notoriously.
On the boat?
No.
At like when they won the second championship,
I went to the bar with all the team
and Clay got me in.
That was so cool.
How cool was that?
Oh, dude, the best.
Just unreal.
Unreal.
Play's the man.
Now,
before I move into the game,
I'm going to give you one more,
one more chance to state your case
why Steph Curry's the goat.
I think that of this time when there's so much stuff you can be distracted with and you can be so much of like a persona and care about so many other things besides the game, I think Steph keeps like such a crazy good head on his shoulders and he doesn't, he makes his teammates better.
He just makes his teammates better.
And that's what makes the greatest player of all time is you not only are you the best, but you make everybody better.
And that's what he does.
That's awesome case.
and he's revolutionized a game.
Now there's 73-pointers a game.
It's crazy. Literally.
Literally.
He's insane. And he's the most fun player to watch.
And he's humble, great dad.
Like, he's just a lovable dude.
He's the man.
He's so electric.
Love Stephertless.
Steffertless.
Well, I think, I think Kenny the Jet might have coined that.
Oh, shout out.
I don't know how I've heard that.
I love that.
I love the jet.
Should we get a little lead-up of this game?
Lead up.
All right. So coming in, the Celtics,
where the two seat in the east,
Warriors were the three seed.
Warriors got through Dallas and five, Memphis and six.
Celtics, on the other hand,
seven game series back to back,
beat Milwaukee, beat Miami.
So I had to go through some wars of attrition to get there.
But in this series, we're talking about game four today.
Celtics take game one,
Warriors take game two,
Celtics win game three.
So it's up two to one.
This is a pretty pivotal game coming up here
because you go up three to one in a seven game series.
Yep, I remember them all.
I remember them all because the first ones,
I was watching publicly, and then after they lost game three, that's when I'm like, I got to start
watching these at home alone.
That's a big question.
We love breaking out.
You tell a lot about somebody how they watch games or choose to watch games.
Yeah, game one, I watched with homies at my friend's house, and the Warriors were like,
were winning that game.
And then somehow the Celtics won, and it was like, what the hell?
What the hell just happened?
Quick.
Game two, you were expected to win.
And then game three, I watched at Burger, she wrote, Great Smash Program.
Oh, yeah.
I watched it publicly.
I told the homies,
come on, let's go.
Because I was like,
I think we're going to win this game.
And we didn't.
And then I was like,
I don't think I can be around people anymore.
I have to really focus up.
Did you go over to,
you know what you should have done
when you're at Burger She wrote.
At halftime,
when it was going down,
you should have went right next door
to Eskwella and got you
a little bean and cheese burrito.
Look at my man go.
Look at my man go.
They have really good bean cheese burrito.
They also have really good mechaladas.
Mutiladas.
They also have good little
hard shell tacos or fire.
Boy,
it's fucking $35 for a burrito.
I mean,
Jesus Christ,
what are we doing?
What are we doing?
What are the doing?
They're so fire, though.
They're really good.
It's a great one-to punch.
It really is.
It is.
Now,
there was a lot of shit being talked
between the Celtics fan
and Draymond Green.
Yep, he became the villain there.
Where do you draw the line in
with the trash talk?
The sand.
Where do you draw the line?
I say it's all it's all all play
Go play yeah all play go for it
There's there's full like the full arena
Alice in the palace we're ready
I love that I love that shit
I think we do need a little less buddy buddy
We need a little bit more grit like that
I'm not saying full riots but like
Need a little something more in there
Too much buddy nowadays
Look I think sports are so important
For people to like get out all of that stuff
But it has to stay in the game
It can't come out outside of the
the game. Right.
So when Blake's sitting
court side at the
Warriors because you're friends with Clay.
Right.
Are you heckling?
No, no, I'm respectful.
I'm not like a
No, I'm more
uplifting to my team. I'm not really
a like tear the other team down.
It's a good fan.
I'm with you. Yeah. Thanks a lot of balls to like
beat courtside and be talking smack.
Dude.
Or not really maybe.
Yeah.
It's a bad move.
No matter what.
I'm always mad at refs.
Even if I'm sitting court,
I'm saying,
what the,
we get our eyes checked over here.
Come on blue,
I'm calling him blue.
Well,
if it's egregious, yeah,
you got a,
you look like a principle over there.
What the hell?
That was a ball.
The cops.
Arguing balls and strikes it up.
That's a point.
All right,
let's get into this game here.
You filmed the hype video for this?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We did.
Chase?
Yes, yes.
Which I was like kind of nervous for
because, you know, when you, like, put yourself out as, like, the face of a squad,
and if they lose, people start to call you, like, a jinx and stuff.
But I was like, I just, I went.
I was like, sure.
What do you say?
I think I was just gassing up, like, Steph Curry and stuff.
I don't know.
Did you give, like, let's go.
Yeah, I was like, everyone does that at the end.
Warriors, warriors.
Warriors.
I'm sure.
I'm sure it was stupid.
It obviously worked.
It worked.
It did.
It did, man. And trust me, I'm so glad because my cousin would be like the first one to be like, stop. You're making all our teams lose. He's still pretty on me about the 49ers.
What'd you do with the Niners? Well, it's just I go to game. I went to the damn Super Bowl in Vegas and they lost and my cousin's pretty convinced is because of me.
Wait, isn't your uncle the guy who also sold him the property of where their practice facility is near the power plant? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh my God, bro. So that's why they're getting hurt.
Yeah, we're melted. Because your uncle built the thing.
thing over there? We're melting bones.
From the inside.
The ligaments, bro, from the inside. So dry
from the power plant, they're tearing them left and right.
Our bad. Sorry.
We got to make a living.
I'm sorry. Jack it in the game.
Oh, man. Let's get into this
thing. From the get-go, it was
out to a hot start. The Celtics got out to a hot
shooting start. Celtics were hot. Got up 11 to
four. Kind of kept this. The whole first half
was kind of this. Celtics go up five or
six. Warriors cut it. Warriors
go up two or three. Celtics cut it. Go back up
five or six, but the turnovers kept coming back to bite the Celtics.
16 in this game.
Those kind of always open the door for a Warriors run.
But Curry and Tatum doing a little dual action in the first.
Both had 12 points.
Grant Williams ends the first quarter on a buzzer beater to go up 28, 27.
Derek White comes in in the second half.
Gets some good spark going for the seas.
That was still when Derek was in his six-man roll.
Gets a good spark with him in, but the Celtics end up maintaining that lead.
54, 49 at the half.
So Derek White actually, he used to have beautiful long hair.
Yeah.
Then he cut it after this series.
Well, he always had kind of an odd hairline though, right?
I mean, it was creeping.
Yeah.
We don't talk about that, but it was beautiful long hair.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is something dramatic that had to happen to you for you to cut your hair?
Losing like an Academy Award.
Yeah, I think it would be like if they like, I know I said Joker,
but if they asked me to be like Mr. Freeze, I think I would shape my head for that.
Because come on, man.
from Arnold to me
Hell yes
I mean that would have been sick
I'm in
I'll shave my hair
Full shave
How long have you had the long hair
Ever?
Ever?
I used to have a fro
In high school
But like I would cut it down
When I would visit my dad
Because he was like
Kind of like wanted me to
Be presentable
Yeah
But then once I got to college
I'm like I'm not cutting it anymore
And I've kind of had it long ever since
Was that the day
That your dad knew you were a man
That's right.
You stood up to me, son.
You grew your hair like a girl.
Now you're a man.
I love you, son.
Damn right.
That's how I showed it.
So a half time at this game,
how are you feeling when you're alone in your apartment
because we're not with any of our friends?
My apartment,
the apartment I go to to watch.
Not my home with my family.
Daddy's going to his sports apartment.
to yell at walls.
Oh, that would be amazing.
Where's dad?
Dad's at his apartment.
Can we get one of those?
We should.
We should have a sports apartment.
There should be a community apartment.
There's just holes in the wall.
Yeah, you could,
yeah, drywall just,
just one folding chair in the TV.
That's the punching wall.
You got four TVs to break one.
Breakaway TVs.
Bring in the next one.
Costco.
Costco card on me.
I, well,
I rewatched this game last night.
And Curry.
was coming back from an
injury because Horford
landed on his foot. Yeah, left foot injury
game three. Yeah, yeah. And
everybody was kind of waiting to
see, like you could
feel Boston like holding its breath.
Like they're like, is Curry going to be
Curry? And he was like
he came out kind of slow
but he was showing little glimmers
and like as a Golden State fan
like you know once Curry
flips that switch like it's
an avalanche after that. So
kind of feeling good.
Like you felt like Curry had the look in his eye
because he also gets super hype
like he was like yelling at one point
in the first quarter and you're like,
whoa, if Curry's already there mentally,
I feel like the Celtics are in trouble.
Like he was hyped.
When Curry gets in that mode,
you're like, oh, he's not going to let his team lose.
So you thought in the first quarter
you had it in the bag by then?
Yeah, because Curry was already in like go mode
and I'm like, he will find it.
He will find it.
He was fully like going at the garden crowd,
like letting him know like,
this is our house kind of vibe.
Yeah.
Like first quarter.
Yeah.
Like first quarter of three,
made time out of.
Never been to the garden.
I've never been to the garden.
I would love to.
I would love to.
I would love to.
I've been to a Knicks game.
I mean,
Madison Square is awesome too.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was really rad.
Yeah.
I mean, you're in the mecca.
That's a fun environment.
Yeah, I love it.
And the garden.
Yeah.
It's like kind of.
of dark in there.
You're like, are you not paying here?
Not anymore.
It's not the old garden.
Yeah, it's like maybe they didn't pay their electricity there or something.
There's so many renovations going on, the power.
It is weird the earrings now that do that where he shut like all the lights off.
Well,
at the Lakers show,
it's only on the court.
Everything else is dark.
It was just a hockey game where they turned the lights off during the play
because they thought their goal happened.
Yeah, they were supposed to turn it all red.
It was like during like.
It was a college hockey game.
A pivotal moment too.
Yeah, yeah.
And then it like ended up going into like overtime and they lost because of that.
Which kind of gives me.
Is it rigged?
No, it just makes me think of the New Orleans San Francisco game.
Yes.
The momentum.
Yeah, that was.
The momentum.
Bro.
We've had so many shots.
We've had so many shots at winning the Super Bowl.
You were at that was a really.
Really have, man.
What's up with these Niners?
I don't know.
It's really trying my patience.
And I really like this group of guys.
I want Kittle to get a ring so bad.
Is he?
Are they close?
They are.
I think they got a shot this year.
I do.
I'm feeling this season.
I think Trent Williams,
they might be getting cut
for that $39 million cap space they need.
I know.
We just got to believe in Brock.
Oh,
believe in Brock.
Believe in Brock.
Mike Evans is fun.
Yeah,
that's cool, right?
Mike Evans is great.
But I just don't want to see his hamstring
near that power plant.
This guy's got chronic hamstring.
It's not the bones.
It's the tendons, bro.
It's the tendons.
You can have all my tendons.
Well, is this pause?
Would you give him your tendon for a Super Bowl?
Real fan.
Absolutely.
What's the, what I would just have to, I couldn't run anymore.
What?
I don't know.
I'm not a doctor.
The sweet father.
Sweet dad.
Oh man.
Coming out of the half here.
Same story as game one through three.
The Warriors owned the third quarter.
That was what got the Celtics in this thing.
We always, the third was.
are quarter.
Steph pours in 14. Notorious.
Unbelievable. I don't know what Steve Kerr was doing to those boys in the locker room, but...
Dude, also, Steve Kerr got like angry. He got a tech in this game. And I think Steve Kerr might
be the scariest angry person. Like, when he gets mad, it's like seeing like a Mormon person
get mad. Like, he's not supposed to be mad. Right, because he's so even keel. Yeah.
Always. He just gets red hot, dude. Remember when he like smacked the clipboard and shatters?
It freaks me out.
Yeah, I think he has a lot of pent-up anger.
I could see that.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You bury it down and it's going to come out at some point.
Yeah.
I love Steve Kerr.
I do, too.
What a great guy.
He seems like a really great guy.
I don't know.
I was thinking,
I got a few Mormon friends.
Have I ever seen him get mad?
Mormons don't get mad.
They really don't.
They're really sweet human.
They tend to be really nice.
They're really nice.
And they all have really good, like, basketball courts at their churches.
It's great.
Mormons love hoop, man.
Mormons can ball, dude.
They usually have big calves, too.
good rebounders.
You ain't never seen a racehorse with Cavs.
Right.
That means you can't ruin fast.
Exactly.
You can hop, though.
Jimmer's got that shot, baby.
Dio, where's your Kaz?
You ain't never seen a racehorse with calves.
True.
Dion.
Love Dio.
Blake, you're another guy, I feel like that's pretty even kill that never gets pissed like that.
What is, is there anything that gets you, Steve Kerr-level, break a clipboard mad?
What makes you mad, Blake?
It, like, honestly, the time when you see me most passionate,
is when I watch sports.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Like basketball,
like this run,
like I'm,
it's kind of bittersweet
that the Warriors are like
the Dynasty is dying out,
but like I used to like be at such a high clip
watching Warriors games.
It was like unhealthy.
86 of them?
Oh, dude,
every single one of them.
Just yelling at my TV.
Like getting psyched.
Like those,
some of those Rockets series,
it was just like,
oh my God.
I would be like that.
flipping into my pool every time they like because I get superstitious too and James Hardin would be
foul baiting and you're just like yeah it's like Steph Curry only makes threes when I jump in the pool
so I just be canning balling in the pool every time he shoots the ball. That's real sports
fandom behavior right there. What's your favorite moment from this game? I mean I think
okay look I even wrote it down on the 37th point it came off of a Steph Curry rebound put back and
And I was like, that shit is so cool to me, dude.
He was just getting like hustle plays out there.
That's when I'm like, 10 boards in this game.
Steph was getting on the glass.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
And he had a hurt foot too.
That was that Jedi mind shirt shit.
They were also, Steve and them were kind of playing in the media.
Like, we don't know how he, weren't they?
Yeah.
Oh, you know, Steve Kerr.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
And this was also before the game, a little tweak.
Didn't mention this off the rip.

The story of the sport's most consequential driver strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out,
and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story,
a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention,
and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this.
I'm better.
And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years.

they're actually dating the companies that create this.
We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history.

There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.

It's easy to look at somebody and be like,
your life must be so sick.
Man, you have no clue.
Talking about the mental illness stuff,
it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.
I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically
or in pain in some emotional way in my life
to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job,
I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Someone says that I suck.
I'm like, I suck.

Otto Porter Jr. started this game.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
Otto was the...
It was so pivotal.
Like a lot of like the role players on the Warriors don't get enough credit, but Otto was huge.
I mean, this was the case in point.
Like Gary Payton the second, Otto Porter, Andrew Wiggins.
They were the guys that were like, as a Celtics fan, I'm watching this.
I'm like, who are we letting these guys beat us?
Kavana.
Looney, bro, huge in the fourth.
Dremont didn't play that much in the fourth in this one.
Kavon got in there and gave some serious minutes.
Dramon was cold to this one for seven, but Looney came in and gave huge minutes.
It was unbelievable.
In the fourth, their third quarter, I got to say,
plus 49 in these first four games.
Warriors just owned that quarter.
Jesus. That was the story of it, man.
And then it was always the third, man.
Always the third.
Steph put in 14 in the third, another 10 in the fourth.
Put him up six with one 10 left.
Another Steph dagger three held the Celtic scoreless for the last five and a half minutes
outside of that Al Horford three that cut it to three with under a minute left,
but that wasn't enough.
Kavana Luni lay up, ices it pretty much.
Final score 107.97.
107.97.
Not up the series.
Dude.
2-2.
Steph finishes with 43, 10, and 4.
They didn't lose again.
They did not lose again after this.
It was such an important series for this team and for Steph Curry to win because there was all the chatter about like the KD stuff and all that.
And it just like this was the most fulfilling series win.
Absolutely.
Like it just felt good.
It just felt really good for Steph.
to have this moment.
And remember the most sinister
when he was like, that's like
that you just go down in history.
Yeah. You know, this is,
like I said earlier, I became a
Boston fan when I moved out there.
And that was,
when I moved, the Warriors were trash.
I was in college and that's when BD dunked
on the dude and I loved him with BD.
Yeah.
And then they got good and they got Katie
and, you know, I was always a KD fan.
But then it was almost like unfair
to root.
for them. Everyone would be like, oh, you're a Warriors fan.
So then, you know, I gravitated towards
Boston. But this
championship, this last one,
like you just said,
it made me feel like,
oh, they weren't supposed to do it. And then
I gravitated like, man, that was really
cool to see Steph get this.
Yeah. Clay get this off his injury.
There was a lot of shit that had to
happen for them to get this win. Yeah, man.
It was like, because you're right. Like,
in the beginning, the Warriors, like
their first championship, it was kind of like,
the people were behind the warriors.
And then they became like sort of this evil empire.
And then with like KD, they were just inevitable.
They were too good.
They flew too close to the sun.
But then like this one, yeah,
I felt like people kind of started to come back, like on the ship
and be like good for Steph.
Like he just had to shut so many people up.
And it was, he just had to do it.
It was, it was perfect.
How did you celebrate at the sports department?
Blooming onions everywhere, dude.
Just on deck.
Apps on deck.
Just throwing blooming onions off the balcony.
I actually went to the parade for this.
That's right.
Oh my God.
You're on the coverage too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Where do they have the parade?
It was just right in the heart of San Francisco, dude.
It was so cool, dude.
Yeah.
Like, it's just really, like being in the Bay Area and like just when everybody's there in a good mood,
like even all the homeless people are like having a great time you're like dude this is what it's
about yeah it was just like a huge party and everybody's psyched about the same thing it was just like
it was just really beautiful and like just as somebody from the bay area you know like it just
it's just such a awesome city and when everything's like when everybody's winning it it feels good
were you at the super bowl they saw uh for the super bowl in san frame i i was i didn't go to the game but i was
around yeah i wasn't there was set
Same kind of feeling.
Yeah, the city was beautiful, man.
It was bumping, it was kind of clean.
Oh, I went on Bart to go see my mom in Concord.
It was a brand new train.
It was beautiful.
I was like, how could people talk shit on this city?
It's so, so cool.
At the end, though, it started creeping back.
I saw it creeping back at the end.
Immediately, it was like, right?
It was like, oh boy.
Oh, boy.
Saw a couple of the drones, the city drones that are chasing everyone now.
Yeah, dude.
Don't get me wrong.
It gets gnarly out there.
But for that week, it was beautiful.
Man, you forget, man.
The city is really cool.
The food is great.
Just the look of the city is beautiful.
Like, you see it from different areas.
San Francisco and the Bay.
Really, really special place.
Very good.
Shout out, man.
Yes.
But putting a bow on this bad boy,
Golden State would win games five and six
to win their fourth title in eight years.
Steph got his first finals MVP.
And then, as we mentioned earlier,
you had the pool,
Dremont Drama.
carrying into the next season.
GP2 left in free agency, which is a bummer.
And then mid-year next season, Joe Missoulu would take over his Celtics head coach.
The next year in 2024, the Celtics would win Banner 18 under Joe and get back.
Another ring in the garden, baby.
Another ring in the garden.
Hang another banner.
Would you take a punch from J-Mond for another title?
Hell yeah.
Yeah, just making it sure.
I thought so.
Dislocate my jaw, man.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Take my ligaments, whatever you need.
Let's name the game, score the game.
Is this the greatest game of all time?
Let's score it.
Desimals are encouraged.
These are some names that we came up with.
If you have a specific name that you have in your head already, we'll use that.
But we came up with the Steph Curry game.
The Curry Classic.
The series shifter.
The pretty ship.
The petty ship.
Or the petty ship.
And the silencer or something else that you have.
I got it.
The chef's kiss.
Oh.
Chef.
Jeff Curry with the sauce
I love that
That's a great name
That's a great
Thank you

Wow
Thank you
He's very impressive

The improv guy
He's got the shit
Improv
Improvae
De La Sal
Sorry about it
Let's go
Dale
Yeah
Yeah you won every football game
But you didn't win
The Improv game
You remember when they
lost to Bellevue Washington
What the hell
When did that happen
That was like their first loss in like 20 years.
I remember that.
Oh, man.
My school, Clayton Valley, our team was so bad.
Now they're like a charter school and we're hell of good.
Yeah, we're paying kids now.
That's so cool.
I know.
I should have played football.
I know, me too.
I should have been born 10 years later.
Stakes, 0 to 10 decimals encouraged.
10 being great.
Zero one being nothing.
10 is the highest stakes?
The highest.
I would say this was a 8.2.
That's an integrity score.
You got more games, not game seven.
Still a finals game, though.
Yeah, but this was, yeah, we needed it.
You needed this.
I'm going to go at the 8.1.
Okay, okay.
I like that.
I was going with 8.0.
I wasn't the 8.5.
Look at us.
The star power of this game,
zero to 10 decimals, encouraged.
I mean, I giggled when I saw Bielitsa come out.
I forgot that guy existed.
He's dropping the score for me a little bit.
So I'm going to say the star.
Star Power is at a seven.
Seven.
And that's on Bialica.
Oh,
got everyone on the wood in here?
21 Savage and Little Dirk were on the wood.
If that,
if that,
we count celebrity fans.
I'm going to drop mine as six.
21, 21.
Oh my gosh.
I mean,
you got some all-time greats playing in this game.
You know,
you got Steph,
play,
Wiggy,
Tatum and Brown.
Those are big name guys
that are still playing at a high level.
I'll go with the 8.1.
I like that score.
Okay.
You think Gary Payton's dad was in this game, too?
Was the glove there?
The glove is there.
And he's from the bay.
The glove is there.
This is in Boston.
This is in Boston.
Yeah.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Searching.
Front row 40 is not there.
GP, the glove is not there.
And 8.9.
21 was doing a lot of heavy lifting.
I also had 8.9.
Steph Curry.
Come on.
Let's go.
What happened to the streets?
The gameplay of this game.
Like how it was visually going back and forth.
There's 10.
point lead by the Warriors.
There's a six point lead by the Celtics at the end.
Dev dropping 43.
43 on a broken foot.
Steph was out of 10 for me, but overall gameplay,
I'm also going to give it 8.5.
Celtics missed a lot of shots.
Turn the ball over 16 times.
Sloppy basketball.
But they both had 16 turnovers.
The Warriors always have so many turnovers.
That was always the Achilles heel.
So that's okay.
Come up with the three ball.
But they make so many threes.
I'm going to go with a 8.5 as well.
Shout out, Ocho Cinco.
At a 7.8.
That's 7.5.
It was a Homer score.
The name, the chef's kiss.
I'm going to have to up my name score.
I know that much.
Zero to 10.
10 being amazing.
Also, it's the cultural relevance of this game.
It's not just like, it's like how much you think about it,
how much it means to sports history.
Hmm.
Okay.
I'll give it a nine because I don't think it was the most important.
game in Warriors history, but it was very important.
I think it's 8.6. I'm staying right up there.
Okay.
All right, I'm an 8.0. I'll keep it there for now, I guess, but
what did you say? The Steph Curry game, everyone's like, oh, man. That's 6.1.
It is an 8.02.
What's it on the list? This is going to be our new
58th game. It's just ahead of
the 2012-8.
AFC Championship, Ravens versus Patriots,
and Jeff behind Super Bowl 53, Patriots versus Rams.
And just below the Broncos versus the Niners.
Yeah.
Great Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 24.
Great Super Bowl.
Wow.
Dude, look at your guys' list.
This is insane.
We've done some good games with a lot of awesome people.
Whoa.
How many keep going to the second age?
Yeah, we've done 132 games.
Whoa.
Hell yeah.
Wow.
You guys even do some UFC fights?
We've got fights.
We did Laird Hamilton
did the Millennium Wave.
Yeah.
That was out there
Tia.
Wait,
which one is Sucket San Fran?
49ers versus Rams.
Who was that?
Oh, that was Cooper.
When they beat the Rams on the way
or the 49ers on the way
to their Super Bowl.
They needed.
Oh.
I was at that game.
How do you think about the score?
Did we do okay?
Yeah, that game was pretty good, though.
But yeah, forget that game.
I hate that game.
If you want to get back at Cooper Cup,
you can go buy a Starbucks. He's got a coffee brand.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Two-time Super Bowl.
Two-time Super Bowl champion, Cooper Cup.
Two-time Super Bowl champion.
Still too soon.
I'm still too soon.
I can't argue.
Cups are a Cups, a maniac, dude.
He's good.
He's good.
Blake, we miss anything from this game?
Um, no, you know, I think we, I'm glad we touched on the anger of Steve Kerr.
Yeah, dude, I think we did pretty good on summoning it all up.
I'm glad we gave Wiggins some love and Looney.
What a time to be alive.
I'm just so happy that I got to rewatch that.
Like I said, I don't do a lot of rewatching of sports
because I still feel like the Warriors have a little gas in the tank.
But going back and really observing that team,
they are such a special team, dude.
And it was fun to watch.
I was stressed all over again.
I punched a hole in my, my home.
No, sports apartment.
I should have took it to the apartment, man.
But you went at home?
Yeah.
That's real anger.
Dude, on a sports classic, I knew we win at the end.
And I still was like, Clay.
Last question before we let you go.
Everyone go check out this is important, unbelievable podcast.
Thank you.
Very fun.
A lot of important things.
Whatever's important.
That's what they're talking about.
Absolutely.
But the last question that we ask all our guests,
what do Bay Area sports mean to you?
That's my Tom Rinaldi.
Getting serious.
Moment of levity.
You know, it's just, it's, it's, it's my identity.
It's how I identify as a Bay Area person.
I think that sports are just so intertwined with the pride of the Bay Area
and the pride of who I am as a person, as a Baydestrian.
it's just it's just it's our culture it's who we are so like when we talk about like teams leaving
Oakland it really is like ripping our guts out but I'm very proud to be from the Bay Area and I'm
proud of all of our sports teams oh yes and just for clarity we don't we don't ask everyone
Bay Area sports we like something specific to them like what does football mean to you
Tom Rinaldi that was a great time Rinaldi shout out Rinaldi I appreciate that
yeah I like you know Blake cleared something up for us Bay
Bay Destrian. We got some flak the other week. Bay Areaan.
No, it's 100% Baydestrium.
Baydestrian doesn't sound great. You can ask Mr. Fab.
There is. Biggty bat. Okay.
Blake, thanks for coming on.
Dude, what a pleasure. Thank you.
Man, what a fun game to go over, man. It was, I forgot this game before we did it.
And then I watched it. I was like, oh, yeah. I remember I forgot.
As a Celtics fan, it broke my heart to realize.
live this place. Because the self has done this game. I know. I know. The
selves had this game. I know. We had the freaking serious. And this was the turning point of that.
It was. This is potentially one of the reasons why Marcus Smart didn't, wasn't on the team the next year.
I know, man. Because Marcus Smart was a dog, man. I know. He was so high when he was high.
But he had his, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. But he was a fun player to to. Electric, man. He was
hitting some big shots in this one, some runout dunks. It was, he was on, man. But damn, that third quarter.
A Bay Destrian Blake.
That's what I'm called Bay Destrian Blake.
You got to get the Bay Area group chat going on.
I know.
Yeah, I know, but I'm not like,
I love my Bay Area teams, but not like I used to.
I feel you.
You know?
Because not you're, you're Boston guy.
Well, I genuinely,
I genuinely have relationships with people in all of those organizations.
Oh, totally.
And I have not one, I mean, a couple with the Giants maybe,
Niners, a cup maybe, but not like the root.
Like, I've done charity events with the Celtics and charity events with the Red Sox.
You know, so like it's, I know.
And I know some of those guys that are working and you want to see that, I don't know, it's tough,
but probably can't start the Bay Area Chab, but I could jump into it.
Yeah. You still got Bay Area. I wouldn't start it. I could jump into it.
You still have Bay Area Code?
No, I got a 6-1-7.
You were 6-1-7. I thought so.
Sorry, not to Docs.
You know, 6-1-7.
Yeah.
But thanks again to Blake Anderson.
What a guy.
I would love to hang out with him.
Me too.
I'd like get him back on here.
Let's do the sports apartment.
Let's just watch me.
Yeah.
We need a sports apartment.
You got bad that I said apartment?
No, I think he was hilarious.
Everyone was like, I thought he said.
You know why you said apartment?
Because I tracked with you.
It's because we feel like this game was farther back than it was.
So, well, so often when we're talking with celebrities, we're talking with,
when they're younger.
Games that are way younger, right?
So you were thinking...
It's like two years ago.
You were thinking him in community college
walked to the next game way back when,
but this was three years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But hey,
it made it for a great fucking bit.
That'll be the third Nutt House show.
Yeah, Sports Department.
We'll do the Sports Department.
Yeah, I can make that a scripted show.
I don't care.
Scripted series, scripted movie?
It's hard to make scripted.
We can make audio right now.
Or maybe it's just a show.
You're right, sports apartment.
We just bring up a camera.
You're like the Dave and Benny Blanco have show.
I'm a little sad that I didn't know Bay Destri.
I didn't know it either
That's when you know
It's a bunch of Bayarians
I'm in
It's a bunch of Bayerians
We didn't know big desrian
That's a Baydestrian
That's a that's a that's so bay
It is
When he said that
Oh
Bro
I
God I can't stop thinking
That's sports apartment now
It's like the it's like the main version
of a Piaidaire
Like for like a you know what I mean
For like an author or whatever
Like a Piaidaire
Yeah yeah
Yeah
You're a little other spot in the writing shot.
Yeah.
Nah, we just go and watch the ball.
Man.
That was fun.
Doing very nice.
We got to do it.
Can we please do it?
What?
Sports Department.
I mean,
we'll look into the budget,
Bob.
I mean,
there's a housing.
I know.
I know.
Housing prices right now.
I got you.
We're going to all except thing.
We kind of did it, Jack,
when you were in the Airbnb when you were out here.
This is true.
This is true.
Sports apartment.
It didn't.
No holes in the wall, though.
Got to be able to make holes in the wall.
You got to be able to put holes.
Yeah.
Maybe you can just like rig up some drywall.
Yeah.
I'm just knocking through.
It's like it's a karate.
A sports apartment is basically a rich man's garage.
Yes.
Goals.
All men or the man cave.
Right.
It's a detached man cave couch or man cave garage with your own means.
That's a rich man thing.
But there's something about a man cave which is like polished and nice.
I feel like you need it like gritty and dirty and like a fridge that runs like, you know,
the toilet.
It needs to be like
The unfinished basement at Danny and Mendoza's house
That we used to spit, chew in and play ping pong
All night. Cement, dust, shit everywhere.
Yep.
Spitting on the walls.
Minimal, minimal.
Punching things.
Weird items in the refrigerator.
It needs to be nun chucks, a boxing bag,
along with the speed bag,
and maybe a slip and slide in a patch of turf.
Can we get a weight bench?
in there, no, maybe we'll see.
Squat rack.
Rusty.
Yeah, rusty is heck.
Rusty.
The fridge is like half a jar, like
Mount Olive Pickles, a couple of stray beers.
Oh, you got sick fridge, okay.
You got sick fridge.
I love good fridge.
For sure.
And you have refreshment fridge that has
glass opening because
we have three.
But when it comes to food and drink,
everything has to be.
I think we do take that serious.
Side of the sports department.
Yeah. Our sports department's even fancier
than I imagined.
Yeah. No, it's not, it's just
the lodging
the food and drink.
Okay.
We take that seriously.
Actually, we'll get a Yeti.
Oh.
Maybe we can get a brand deal or something.
Maybe we can get a little brand deal in there somehow.
We were this close to getting a Trader Joe's brand deal.
We were really close.
We were talking about the hash browns and the frozen food.
Yeah.
Got out T.J's.
Well, he brought up Trader Joe.
Yeah, but then he shit on it.
So then there goes that deal.
Oh, I didn't say.
We'll edit that out.
We'll cut that out.
What did he shit on?
I forget what he said.
He said something.
He did say, Jules.
Oh, because they find glass in some of their products.
Oh.
Yeah, but that happens in every product in the industry.
You know what you're getting into?
You're a little glass.
You're never even a little glass.
Hey, man, I'm just exfully eating my gums.
Come on now.
Yeah.
Relax.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
Ready for a different take on Formula One?
Look no further than no grip.
A new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series.
Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1,
including the astrology of the current grid.
Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon.
Wouldn't you know it?
Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon.
The story of the sport's most consequential driver strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out,
and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story,
a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention,
and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this.
and plenty of other mishap, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.
Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Lori Siegel, a longtime tech journalist.
And consider my new podcast, mostly human, your bridge to the future.
Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app.
And it's very empowering.
Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future.
and we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you.
What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion,
they're actually dating the companies that create this.
We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history.
And let's be honest, that can be messy.
There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.
But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment.
Mostly Human will show you how.
My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit.
The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people,
then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.
Listen to Mostly Human on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast.
My latest episode is with Noah Kahn,
the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit
stick season and one of the biggest voices in music today.
Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success,
his struggles with mental health and body image,
and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career.
It's easy to look at somebody and be like,
your life must be so sick.
Man, you have no clue.
Talking about the mental illness stuff,
it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.
I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically
or in pain in some emotional way in my life.
to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job,
I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Someone says that I suck.
I'm like, I suck.
Getting to talk about this is not common for me.
Right now, I need it more than ever.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty
on the IHart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Nora Jones,
and I love playing music with people so much
that my podcast called Playing Along is back.
I sit down with musicians from all musical styles
to play songs together in an intimate setting.
Every episode's a little different,
but it all involves music and conversation
with some of my favorite musicians.
Over the past two seasons,
I've had special guests like Dave Grohl,
Lave, Mavis Staples,
Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy,
really too many to name.
And this season, I've sat down
with Alessia Kara, Sarah McLaughlin,
John Legend, and more.
Check out my new episode with Josh Grobin.
You related to the Phantom at that point.
Yeah, I was definitely the fan.
And that's so funny.
Share each day with me each night, each morning.
Say you love me.
You know how you...
So come hang out with us in the studio and listen to playing along on the IHeart Radio app.
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Freaking, uh...
Oh, wait, there was one more thing on the projo.
Uh, sports apartment.
The cruise sounds insane.
The crew sounded unbelievable.
But you got to hang out with your fans for like three straight days.
I mean,
and maybe get the neural cars.
He did the Grunt Cruise.
That's true.
Dude,
what would it take for you to go on a cruise,
Jules?
I don't know.
I've been kind of watching these cruise commercials and they look kind of sick.
I do,
but like,
probably amazing for like a big ass family.
I guess.
You know what I mean?
Like,
because look,
we're not yacht people.
No.
But I'd like to be.
But the boat thing would be awesome.
Because you know that the kids are going to, like, Lily would love to go on a boat with her cousins and maybe a friend where they have a fucking water slide and, you know what I mean?
Stupid shit like that.
Like kids love that kind of stuff.
I wouldn't say like Cruz if I'm taking out like a babe.
Heck no.
But like family stuff.
Yeah.
The cruise is almost, I've thought about the cruise as of last three months.
Really?
Not like to go on them, but like I've thought like, man, I think they would enjoy it.
You don't have to think about logistics.
tactical and pricing.
I'm not saying it's cheap.
Yeah.
Not saying,
but like in comparison to like having boat,
fun.
Yeah.
It's all in one.
That's like kind of it's,
it's reasonable,
I think.
There's a ton of people
and you don't have to think
about logistics for a cruise.
That's the only thing COVID's fucked it up for me.
Yeah.
And dude,
remember they get those people
that got the neurovirus on there.
They were pooping in buckets.
And that car.
And then I've saw some of these.
From the hit documentary,
the poop cruise.
Oh,
that was a,
they all they made a talk about that?
Yeah.
Oh,
I got to watch that.
I think it's called the poop cruise.
And then they also had the,
that sounds kind of fun.
There's been some videos of the cruises that I've had some of the hard waters.
Yeah, bro.
Like, I don't know.
It's sketchy, bro.
Anytime.
I feel like the train wreck.
I got friends that have like the parents going a lot of,
and people love cruises.
I know,
but it's like,
it's almost like a,
you're either a cruise person or you're not.
It's like one or the other.
It's in the same vein as like going to Disney world.
We're like people though.
I feel that.
But the cruise is,
is kind of tight.
I don't know.
Do you think it's an American that you got to go once in
life.
You got to try it once or are you fine with not trying it ever?
I don't know.
I probably got to try it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'll get,
I'll get claustrophobic, though.
I don't like.
I don't either.
And you got to get some of those,
I've seen some of those cabins they put you in there like in the hole of like,
you're deep down there,
no windows, nothing.
Nah, bro.
We're in a little,
damn.
We're freaking rose.
Yeah.
We're up top.
We're going to be where Rose was.
If we're going on a cruise.
We're in.
We're going with Rose.
And,
and the Titanic people up top.
If we're going.
cruise. Shut up. We'll spend
another G. Whatever it takes. I got to see
some water. Do you know the Titanic would have been fine if they
just hit the iceberg head on?
Really? The fact that they tried to move and it scraped all along.
No way. They would have...
Because the Titanic had a special technology
that had these like lock systems underneath.
That it would have been able to contain the water if it hit it head on.
But then because it scraped all the way through...
It would have stopped it?
It wouldn't have been great, but it wouldn't have sunk.
That mass, it would be like...
Yeah, but they could have contained it.
It was the fact that they got scimmed and it sliced the whole edge.
It could be four of the compartments.
Yeah.
And it hit five.
Yeah.
If they didn't turn,
they would have been better off.
I don't know,
because I think that would have been just like straight like it doesn't stop and it keeps crushing.
Like you can't.
That's just straight physics.
Yeah.
I'm picturing like those crash test dummy type vibes.
Yeah.
Like you would you either get punched in the gut or like stabbed all the way through your gut.
Oh.
Probably neither
Whichever would make a good movie with Leo
There's a lot of conspiracies about that Titanic
Are there really? I didn't know that
Tell me two of them
Well there's like some important people that were on there
That went down
Oh shoot that like for like some diplomatic shit
Okay, how did you know about that?
And I love Titanic history
There's a
That's like the main reason I like
like James Cameron because he does so much Titanic stuff.
He likes Spirit.
Did you know,
did you know that this is...
He's invested billions of dollars into like these submersibles
that go in...
Out of Woods Hole.
Yeah.
Belmouth.
Did you know that the...
It actually made a great movie.
The discovering of the Titanic was actually like
government secrecy.
So Robert Ballard always wanted to go find the Titanic, right?
Do a whole expedition.
But he couldn't get the findings for it for it.
But there was...
was a nuclear sub that sank, an American nuclear sub that sank in that area,
so that the government paid him to go find the sub.
And they said, if you find this sub with proprietary technology before the Russians get it or whatever,
will also fund your expedition to get the Titanic.
So he found the sub first that never was news.
And then he found the Titanic afterwards.
Well, a piece of it because they didn't find both sides for a long time.
Yeah.
Well, the whole thing in the early 90s when they like,
found it or whatever.
Was it early 90s?
I think so.
Even late 80s.
I thought it was in, yeah.
Because when did Titanic come out?
Like mid-90s, early 90s, the movie?
Oh, they found it 85.
Oh, wow, that long ago.
Yeah.
Holy smokes.
Would you rather spend a week on a Carnival Cruise in the cheapest room?
Your solo, by the way.
Cheapest room inside the hole, like no windows, nothing,
or a one-day charter in one of those sketchy submarines where the guys
control that with like a game PlayStation thing.
And just implode?
It might.
It's kind of sketchy,
but you're only down there
for like a day.
Like part of the day.
The cruise for a thousand.
But you've got to stay in a whole week, bro.
Some people.
You might get a neural virus.
When you go on cruises,
I,
I learned this.
Sometimes when you're in the middle
and the hole,
you feel less of the swaying of the boat.
So a lot of people actually request that shit
because they get seasickness.
Same thing with the plane.
Like when you're in the aisle,
you feel it less than when you're on the window.
Huh.
So you're picking the week on the cruise solo dolo?
genius room.
Yeah, I'm not going in a
potentially dying.
And then dying.
It's only like a couple hours of your life.
And you might,
you might get like a sick story out of it.
Jack is low key.
I'm shot.
If I see a little,
no, no,
no, no.
And anything going underwater,
I'm not getting in it.
I know.
It's just like sick to brag.
Like I was on the ocean floor.
And it's not even PlayStation was a logic controller.
How deep are you going?
Are you doing it?
It was a mad cat's controller.
God.
One of the worst one.
This accessory is not supported.
No more Titanic talk.
It's a lot.
Even though I did.
like I always thought like what if they, why couldn't they just go down there and attach a bunch of crazy like balloons?
Oh.
And just explode them up.
You know what I mean?
Like the Titanic.
If you go down there and you to try to lift the whole thing.
Oh, like it's a pressure thing right now, I think.
It's a pressure thing that it would just kind of disintegrate the boat.
Wait, what are we talking about?
Getting up getting the stuff back up.
They'll never be able to get it out of the bottom.
Yeah.
Because it's been so like like like.
almost preserved in the higher pressure salt water at the bottom.
If you were to bring it up,
it would just like fucking disintegrate.
Really?
No shock.
I'm just trying to remember the heart of gold got out.
I'm paraphrasing from a discovery channel.
For the heart of the years ago, as best as I can.
Better than I got.
Oh, it was never in.
Heart of the Ocean was never in it.
What's the heart of the ocean?
Oh, the diamond from the movie.
Oh, shoot.
Yeah.
I fucking love that movie.
Billy Zane.
Man.
I haven't seen it in forever.
Great movie.
Remember back on the VHS?
It was two VHS.
Two VHS.
That was crazy.
That blew my mind to the kid.
I do.
And what gangs of New York was two VHs?
Gangs of New York was two years.
That's late era of VHS.
Yeah.
Wow.
Man, shout out to Bill the Bush.
Can we go home?
Yeah.
Thanks again to Blake Anderson.
