what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today, we talk about what's up with my hemorrhoids. I'm drunk. Okay, the dick's out. I'm gonna learn something. The goddamn Zeke Will. It's the Zeke Will. Here we go. Start your engines. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, We made it. We made it. We made it. I gotta keep it a hundred. Don't stop. No, hit us with 100. 100, 100, 100. 100. Let's go. Okay, let's go. Wow, this is a smash up. Walk down memory lane. Is it done? No, no. Should I keep going? Yeah.

I'm gonna come. I just want to party. Do not come. Oh, shit, bro. What was that, dude? I just want to party. Was that yellow wolf? It was. We made it. We made it. Oh my god. No one thought we could do it. No, literally, not even us. Most listeners. Yeah. No, I thought we were doing what, 45 or something? That's like, this is impressive. Yeah. Look at this go. And remember, early on, I was like, I better take a solid 40 to get good at this. Looks like it's going to take over 100. We're waiting. We don't know what we're doing. And guys, should we tell everyone what we have planned for today? Please. We're live outside of the Bellagio Fountain. Can you hear it in the background? Well, we had a lot planned. We had tickets booked. I'm at the Bellagio. We had

special guests. We had, what else did we have? We had just a lot of secrets lined up. So many secrets. I did not know that. Oh, yeah. It was crazy. Kyle and I were on a flight to Las Vegas. Yes, I am here right now. Well, how did Jersey and I not know that? Yeah, how can we? Well, me and Blake sometimes just kind of go for it. You know what I mean? We just kind of... Yeah, it's a conquered thing. Oh, the conquered way for sure, water trash. Yeah, it's like, don't think, just like, go. You know? So we're like, let's go. Don't think, do. Yeah, let's go. Yeah, we let's go. Let's go. And so, again, what did you do? Well, we had to cancel everything because what there was, we had a medical emergency. We're getting old, guys.

I got to keep it a secret. Specifically, I am. Yeah, I went blind. It was the weirdest fucking thing. And we were supposed to record like last week. And the day before I just got back into town, I was exhausted. And I like was sitting outside reading a script. And I looked up and literally, I haven't told, I mean, I've texted with you guys, but we haven't talked on the phone. And right, too scary. Yeah, too real for us, too scary. I looked up, I couldn't see anything. It was like the scariest shit of my life. Like, literally, my vision was everything was blurred and crossed. Like in a moment, just all of a sudden, just all of a sudden. And did it go black? This is what I wanted to ask you. Did it go dark or you just saw the blur? Just the blur.

You're in a blur zone. And then I had like a crazy headache. And I couldn't, I could barely keep my eyes open, except for to look straight ahead or down, which didn't stop me from like watching three more episodes of Sopranos. All I need to do is hear it. Wait a second. Hold on a minute. This is this wasn't in the text. I had it. I had him downloaded. So I was just like laying there being like, well, it's probably, you know, I'm probably just have a headache or something. And then but then it like really scared me because it I was like, maybe I've just I'm just exhausted and it's going to go away in an hour or so. And then it lasts like four hours of me being fucking blind until I finally was like, this sucks. I'm going to go to watching the Sopranos

for four hours while you were blind. No, not the whole time. I was in the process. Yeah, I was I watched an episode. I was then I became blind. Then I tried to watch another episode and blind and was it wasn't working that well. Still blind. So it was like radio. It wasn't working that well. See, these are the details. When we get like, we get the text that we're not going to be able to do the podcast because Adam from our manager, because Adam's gone to the hospital because he's gone blind. Well, I haven't got I haven't gotten there yet because I had a we're ready to talk about it. Yeah, I got a do not come. But these are the details that are would have been good to know where it's like, hey, Adam went blind, but then also watched

two more hours of Sopranos. Yeah, was children. Well, I was I was like laying there going like, well, what am I going to do? You know, it was like seven or 8pm. I'm like, not ready for bed. I can't fucking see anything. And throw a fucking cold rag over your eyes and lay down. I don't know how to take care of myself, dude. I'm home alone. Chloe's not here. I don't know how to take care of myself. And so I'm just like, laying there. And then I can try to get through that next episode. It didn't really work. Because I could if I look down or straight ahead, I could focus on one thing. Oh, you could have gone the rest of your life like that. You'd be fine. Yeah, yeah, I could have. I could have operate that way. I thought it went. But as soon as I started to

look around, I couldn't see anything. And like was dizzy, like I was going to fall over. And so I went to bed. The next day I had an appointment because I tore my groin muscle when I was shooting the bumper show, because I'm an old man now, you know, yeah, man, you're falling apart. Yeah, you mean you tore it pre like months like six months ago. Yeah. And then it's still fucking killing me. It feels like someone like kicked me in that fucking nuts all the time. Let me get in there. You need a good massage. Let me get in there. I'll get it. I'll get it out. You need a good top massage. So much so that I won't I won't let Chloe suck on my balls. I'm like, get it. Stop it. Okay. And that's one of my favorite activities. Is she cool with that?

Or no, she's really cool with it. Yeah, actually like so cool with it. Yeah, that's cool. I'm gonna say it TMI. And then I went to the TMI nation. That should be the name of this show. TMI nation. That I went to the doctor for the groin. I already had a doctor's appointment. I haven't been to a doctor in over three years. Go to the doctor's appointment, told him about my groin issue. He's like, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna look at it. Let me suck your balls. And then I was like, Oh, yeah, a weird thing happened last night and told him about my eye situation and they freaked out. They're like, What? You couldn't watch Sopranos? Yeah. Was it kind of similar to how we're freaking out? You're just talking about how you can't watch in TV. Yeah, dude. I mean,

I'll relay my experience also, but go ahead. And so then, and so then we're, I was like, I mean, it was, it was really scary. I didn't know what to do, you know, in the moment. And and so I was like, it was better the next day. Some of my left eye kept twitching to where I couldn't really see out of my left eye all that well. Right, like a horse butt when it twitches. Yeah, or my dog's butt. Yeah, like a winking butthole. Not the hole. Dr. My eye is like a winking butthole. Winking butthole. Dr. Bro, if you go to like a cool, down and dirty strip club, the buttholes will wink. Of course I do. Why? That's what my eyes is doing. And so they freaked out. They went to the hospital. I had to get all these tests at a

CT scan. I had MRI done when it starts to get very serious. I just spend the night, which, you know, you don't normally have to do. It was very, very scary. Yeah. And then essentially, they, they were like, I think you, you go basically the doctor was like, he was a Brozark kind of doctor is like, yo, what's up? Seems like you go too hard in the paint, bro. And it was, it was migraine. It was a migraine. And then did the Brozark be like, would you like me to suck on your balls? Well, my balls still hurt. That's the issue is that's not resolved. So Saturday, I have to go and get a ultrasound on my nut sack. Good. On my nut sack. You could get a twofer. The MRI didn't kind of scan that business too. No, that was just the, the nog MRI is the

head, right? That's the cranium. That's all it does. I don't know. That's what that did. Well, you got two heads on your body, brother. You never know. Nice blazer. Yeah. Yeah. Thought about it. Didn't say it. You said it. I'll go down that road. Pizza pizza. Yeah. So it really sucked. It was really scary, you know, because you never think that you were going to have a stroke or anything like that to me wasn't even a possibility. Some people do. Well, I mean, then they like looked at me and they were like, you couldn't see you. And I'm like, yeah, no, I really couldn't. It hurt a lot. I was dizzy. And they're they're like, you, you might have had a stroke last night. You have to go to the hospital. Yeah. And I'm like, do I have to? And

then the another doctor came in and it was like, I just heard what happened. You have to go to the hospital right now. We're calling an ambulance for you. And I'm like, I can drive myself. I could see out of my right eye. And they're like, no, we're saving bumper. And then and then I go there. They all know who I am. They've like called ahead and like whispered like, yeah, this is so they put me under like a John Doe. But my name was Jim Doe, like gemstone. All right, just Jim, Jim Doe, Jim Doe. Did you got to get better doctors? And I'm serious. Like, yeah, how about people that are like, it's Adam divine. That is his legal name. And we need to get him fixed. No screw ups, no wrong surgeries, no wrong scan. So can you imagine? There's another Jim Doe.

Jim Doe. Dude, dude, calm Jim Doe. We got a Jim Doe here and we thought it was a misspelling. He needed a new new leg. Unbelievable. We cut off this man's leg. I love the idea of you like dying and then being like, it was a righteous death. And you're like, help me. Please help me. Yeah, they're very kind in there. But when you sent the text that said you may have had a stroke or a brain hemorrhage, my fucking mind went nuts, dude. I was like, You're saying you had a stroke or a brain hemorrhage? Well, that's what they told me. They were like, Kyle, calm down. No, like I was, I, I'm not going to, I mean, I'm an emotional guy, but I did like, I walked

way into like this other area where I'm like, Oh, no, you know what I mean? Like I let myself feel that for a moment. Did you start writing the letter? No, I did not. I pulled myself out. Read it. Read it on air. Read it on air. No, I pulled myself out after when we kissed that one night, I had a tear. I shed a fucking tear. Thank you, Kyle. Thank you, man. It was nice. It was nice. I shed a fucking tear. I did. I sat there on my bench by my pickleball court and I was like reading the text and I'm like, Dude, I know this guy. You took a three minute time out from pickleball. Yeah, I took a moment. Hey, you know what, two minute time out.

Yeah, I've, I've got to process something real quick. He was hitting the ball extra hard, like, yeah, but he hit it harder. I'll save him. I know it's a good game right now, but I need a break. Give me a minute. Okay. Yeah, I need a break. I needed a two minute break. If I can rally up to 12, he'll live. If I can't, he'll die. And then I came back and I won the game. So, you know, I was powered, powered by the sadness of possibly losing part of Adam and won the pickleball game. We just stay positive. We appreciate that. Yeah.

The eight brain cells I have left, uh, almost were gone, man. God, it was so real. When I told Emma how I might have had a stroke, she's like, Those energy drinks. Oh dude, my family too. It was every little thing they're like, well, and I don't really drink that many energy drinks anymore. Like I don't, you know, in my regular day. Do you have one a day? No, less than that. Less than?

Yeah, less than. How much less? You might be Jim Doe. Where's Adam? One every, I probably drink four a week. I'm probably down to four a week. On top of coffee. On top of coffee and pre-workout and two coffees a day, at least. Right.

No, no, Adam has 15 shots of espresso a day. Remember, we counted it. It was like 15 to 20 shots of espresso. It's not good. We're total, total, total. Okay. Well, they, the doctor did say I should, I should cut back. They always say that. And you are doing pre-workout? Yeah. I'm doing pre-workout.

But they always say cut back on, on caffeine. I'm going to cut, I'm cutting back. I have, I only have had two cups of coffee today. That's it. Caffeine. Yes, but you do have a huge goblet of THC. But what are you drinking right now? No, this is, this is a can. Oh, okay. You said it was go juice. Okay. Or pod sauce.

What, what is that though? That's a slow down. That's a slow down. You are doing uppers and downers, bro. That's what you should buy them on. That's not good. That's where your brain cells. Dr. Kyle. No, the doctor, the doctor basically said it was totally cool. And no, no, the doctor did not. No, the Dr. Bro's arc was like, yo, listen, fam, that's all good.

You got to get up to get down. You're talking to the guy who shed a fucking tear. I appreciate your tear, Kyle. I really, really do. I shed a tear, tear right out of my wonky eye, bro. It just went like, bloop. I got to keep it a honey. We should get that checked out. I asked the doctor about that and he wants to look at it. Which one? What, my eye?

The optometrist. Yeah, he's like that. He might have had a stroke. What, he's a kid. Me? Wow. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Me, I'm on the pickleball court. I'm good, dude. I'm sweating every day. I'm good. Hey, man, there's levels to this shit. Damn.

There's levels to this stroking. I know. Well, dude, the thing is, is some of this stuff, it's not even like, you, like your choices, whatever you ingest, is a part of it. But some of it is just like, it just fucking happens. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like a clogged artery in your brain or whatever. Yeah, yeah. That's where I went was like,

I wasn't really like, I was like, yeah, he has horrible habits and seems healthy. But I was like, oh, maybe this is one of those things where it's like, my dad was like, no control. Yeah. Mad at me was like, the goddamn Zeke will. It's the Zeke will. And they yelled at me about Zeke will. I'm like in a hospital bed, FaceTiming them.

He's yelling me at me about Zeke will. He also is, he's having like teeth issues. So like, he has like half of his teeth are just gone on this side. Yeah, that's an issue. So he's waiting for a dentist to like calm and replace. It was like a bridge or something. So he looks insane and he's also, he talks like this because he does it. So he's just like, the goddamn Zeke will.

It's the Zeke will. And I'm like, I can't take you seriously. Just turn them down. You have no teeth. So, so I had to ask the doctors about the Zeke will. And they all laughed. Said the Zeke will has nothing to do with it. That shit's important.

But here's the thing. Here's the thing. That's bullshit. I'm going to call bullshit on the doctors. I'm going to call bullshit on the doctor. You don't think that I asked the doctors about Zeke? No, I think you did. And I think the doctors also said that.

And I think that that's because they can't give you. They're not giving you an actual reason as to what happened to you medically. So they cannot say that that is not, that's not involved. They didn't. They said maybe it's a migraine. Well, they think it is a migraine because they think because. So there's no fucking science experiment here.

They're wrong. Well, yeah, I know. Well, they might be right about the migraine. I got, I hope they're right. I hope I didn't just have a stroke. I mean, me too, bro. But they can't say that that doesn't, it's not a, they can't, bro.

This is your body. Dude. And we've moved on from the groin or? I mean, did he suck on your balls? He didn't. No one sucked on my balls. And I went back to the doctor. I'm like, just this week is fucking bizarre

because now I'm just going to, now my guy just goes to doctors all the time. Haven't been for like fucking years. That's how that works. We're back the other day. Stacks up, stacks up. Yeah. If you don't, you know, fix up your home,

your home starts to fall apart. Yeah. Or your car. It's so funny. I think I, because I'm so not uncomfortable about like whipping my dick out. Well, sure. You're too comfortable or not comfortable?

Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable. I don't care. Like it doesn't matter. No, I'm saying, are you too comfortable? Yeah. Maybe. Like you come in with that out. Hold up.

The doctor told me yesterday. He's like, okay, well, let's see it. And there's like a little 24 year old. You say, okay, well, let's see it. That's it. Like 24 year old, like physicians assistant in there taking notes. And I'm like, well, I guess this is just like part of it.

You're not comfortable. And I just start whipping it out. Did you jot this down? She goes, you're not comfortable. She immediately became so uncomfortable and was like, I'll just wait outside. Whoa, really? Yeah.

And like ran outside. You say you get right back in here at science. And I was like, it was like, oh yeah, I probably should have excused her. I didn't think about it. The doctor. And I'm like, oh yeah, probably. I didn't think about it either.

And this poor girl just, you know, I almost whipped it out. Oh, she's in a doc. She's in a medical. She, I don't know. Yeah, it didn't used to be that way. Yeah. Hey, you better get used to seeing this. I feel like you should have just been like, I'm learning.

I'm gonna be in here. Yeah. Hey, I'm gonna be in here. And my dick is going to be out because there's shit going wrong downstairs. Hang on a second. Here's my question though. Legitimately.

Go. Legitimately. Okay. Let's A. Let's get this getting legitimate. Let's get legitimate. Let's get legitimate. So she is.

Legitimately. A practicing physician or physician in training. Uh-huh. Probably on an internship or something. Yes. Are we really at a point where a person in that position shouldn't feel comfortable seeing somebody's bot? Completely agree with you.

Well, I was rock hard. Well, even more so. I'll be your mom. Then how did anybody fit in the room? Bully. But you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna come. I mean, I'm with you.

I'm with you. And that's why I don't feel, I didn't feel that uncomfortable. And I wasn't even uncomfortable until she was like, That's what I'm saying is that what I'm saying is not you. I'm saying people who are the physicians. Isn't it their job to be like, this is what it is. This is it. It doesn't matter.

It's not. It is, Anders. You are correct. We're getting into this weird context of things where it's like. I feel like privacy now is such a big thing. That's my point. Is that. Yeah.

It's gone too far. Well, Ders, we kind of covered it when we talked about gynecologists. I think it's like people don't trust doctor. Like it's a little bit of going both ways. Like doctors are kind of like, I want to respect you because I could be a creep. So I won't, I feel uncomfortable. I think if you're in the medical profession

and you're in that room and you're talking about it, you should not be like, while the dick is out, you should not be like, oh my God, I mean, I need to leave. You should just be like, okay. Holy shit. Yeah. You should just be like, okay, the dick's out. I'm going to learn something.

Yeah. But you can't just walk into doctor office and spread your butt cheeks and be like, what's my, what's up with my hemorrhoids? What's my AIDS again? If you're going, if you're going there for that, you can. Yes. What's my age again?

Read the rings. No, but Adam went in for blindness and then he whipped his dick out. So of course she's going to go, whoa. No, he went in for groin and came out blind. No, these are two separate. I went in for a groin. Yeah. This was a groin inspection.

I told them about my blindness, went to the hospital, and then a separate day, I was discharged from the hospital the previous day on Saturday. Discharge. Discharge. What did I say? You're not coming. Discharge.

It's just, you're talking about dicks and discharging. Discharge. It was cool. It was sexual. Oh, discharge. Yeah. Yeah, it was sexual. Yeah.

Kind of help himself. This is 100. And then yesterday, I went to the doctor. So on Monday, I went into the doctor and was like, hey, I went in for this groin thing and then told you about my blindness and we never addressed the groin thing. Right. So let's, can someone look at my nuts?

I can say, well, pull it out. I went in for my, I went in for my dick doesn't work and all I got was this stupid migraine. Yeah. There's the merch. Someone else will make. What sucks is it was raining outside. It was like, like torrential downpour.

Of course it was. So I'm like, my dick was so small. It was so small, dude. Is that? And the balls were so small that. Wait, rain? Wait, yeah, rain. Rain's the indicator.

Rain? Dude, rain. Sometimes sunshine will do it. Wait, is that rain or humidity? No wind. Hail. Heavy winds. No, my clothes were like soaked.

It was, it was like a true storm. Oh, so you were cold. You were cold. Yeah, I was really cold. And your body was retreating. Sometimes light will just make it self. Yeah, storms that come in my body is retreating into itself.

Any sort of light will make mine go away. So, but, but he couldn't, I, the right nut, I'm convinced is a little swollen and the coil where the semen is on the backside of the nut, I think is like enlarged. The oil or coil? Coil.

Let me get in there. Coil. It's, it's like the, it's the vast deference, right? Isn't it? Yeah, I don't know. It leads to the vast deference or it is the vast deference? Yeah, maybe.

They, they say it's like a little bag of worms. Let me get in there. And that was, it felt a little swollen to me, but my nuts were too sunken into my body because that was so cold that he could barely. Chloe's no longer to suck on your bag of worms. She couldn't, she couldn't suck on the bag of worms.

Oh, I'm so sorry. She couldn't suck the bait bag. Oh my god. So, the doctor couldn't even get a good feel. It's, it's set. I was like, kept trying to, and I kept being like, it's really cold. And he's like, yeah dude, it's raining, you know.

I'm trying to get a grip over here. And we're having awkward conversation about how he couldn't grab ahold of her. He's coaxing it out like a little, like a little scared animal. Come on, come on. Now it understands. Now it understands.

She's like, okay, I should leave. Oh my god. That makes no sense. She's shaking the door now. I'm trying to get out of here. Why is this locked? It should be out of here. She did have a scene.

I hadn't pulled it out yet. I was just in the unbuckle zip. I'm a go. You hit play on like an R Kelly song on your phone and you're like, well, that'll get her out of the room too. Come on. Come out. Come out.

There is caffeine in this one. Caffeine in can? In can, there is? Allegedly. In this one because this is the, the mate. Allegedly. I wonder why I like this one the best. Oops.

Oh my god. You're out of your mind. Just go blind. Caffeine constricts blood vessels, right? Yeah. Then you have blood vessels in your brain. Are you sure that this physician's assistant wasn't drawing a picture of your penis?

Do you know that for sure? I don't know that for sure. Probably the right. She seemed like a, a sweet person and wanted to respect my privacy. Respect my privacy. Nucky grandma. Hi, I'm David Eagleman.

I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University and I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities. Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident? Or, can we create new senses for humans?

Or, what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet? So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception and your reality. Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal Podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal.

Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house.

He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, DC. It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can.

Signed freeway phantom. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother. That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people. I thought that they would catch him. I thought it was just a matter of time.

Is it possible that the killer is still alive? Listen to freeway phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What season of Sopranos are you watching? Just a little pivot. I never watched that show. Before you went blind, what was the last image you saw? I never, ever watched that show.

Don't spoil it. I just watched it last year. This I think is the fifth time I've seen it. The whole thing? Yeah. Don't spoil it. Chloe hasn't, do you like it that much? Yeah, I love it.

I think it's great. It's a, it's a good comfort show for me because I've seen it so many times. I could just have it on and tune in. Kind of know where we're at. Please don't spoil it for me. Please don't spoil it. I haven't seen it yet. There's ducks.

Oh, that's season one. I'm not going to tell you what it is. It does have the greatest ending to a show ever. It's the biggest fuck you. I laughed so hard when it ended. I was like, oh, oh, this is amazing. Yeah. I can't remember what the ending is.

Oh yeah, it is a great ending. It's okay. You could spoil it. I'm never going to watch it if you want to talk about it. I don't want to spoil it for everyone else at home. But like, what do you mean spoil it? The show came out like 20 years ago. If you didn't watch it by now, fuck off.

I know, but people, I just watched it. Okay, fine. It ends like this. He's in a restaurant with his family. They're kind of like, they've been on the outs. Everyone's fighting. They're on the frits and they're finally sitting down at a restaurant for a good meal.

But then there's these people who start coming in and maybe or maybe not eyeballing. And that's the cast of Seinfeld. Yes, maybe or maybe not eyeballing Gandolfini, who's becoming hyper anxious about like people double crossing him. Is he going to get killed? Is he not?

And then just in the middle of a moment, it cuts to black. Yeah, and then it's gone now. Oh, like it's just saying it just continues or something? Is that what it's in place? Yeah, you don't know what happened. It's still in the blanks. It's up to you to- So it's a non-ending.

That's fucking, that's so stupid. That's not stupid. It is not even after a moment. It is in the middle of a moment that it just goes and the lights are out. Yeah, I get what they're saying. I liked it. I thought it was kind of cool.

I get what they're saying. I love it. I think it's hilarious. Yeah. I like shit like that. I actually like it too. Dude, I like when movies end sad. I like when movies just end abruptly.

That shit, I fucking dig it. I like funny movies. I like movies with action. I like the gigs. I like the way it wins. I like when it's dramatic. You guys are well aware. Sort of like a fantasy element.

Don't tell me what I am. You guys know that there are like a lot of audience members get very pissed if it's not a happy ending, if the shit isn't tied up. That's frowned upon. You know what though? You can't blow up a dog in your movie. People will get mad.

Hello. We did have to rewrite the end of Game Over Man because it was a little bit sad. I even won the heroes immediately murdered that man. Dude, I like it when shit ends sad. Life ends sad, bro. How do you guys feel about this? Movies have become so formulaic.

Like there's one way to write a movie now, essentially, for executives to be... For executives... Because I'm in the middle of Brand Mars. Yeah, for the studio system, yes. Go off. For the studio system. Including fucking streamers.

Yes. And it fucking sucks because you're like... 100. Okay, so this is the point where they just say outright the whole thing that's missing from their lives. We're going to have the like sentence here that they're going to say late. Like there's so many boxes that need to be checked now.

So audiences feel satisfied. And I just watched that Guillermo del Toro movie from last year called Nightmare Alley. Oh yeah, I didn't see that. I meant to see that. Did you guys watch it? I meant to see that. No, I didn't.

Yeah, I haven't checked it out. It's fucking cool. It's really good. Okay. Wow, I do like something. This is huge. This is huge. Where did you watch it?

Where can I see it? On an airplane. Okay. But it made me uncomfortable because it's so non-formulaic. I'm like, where's the fucking beat? Nobody watched it. Nobody liked it or not liked it, but nobody kind of... It wasn't a critical...

Yeah, it wasn't a huge thing. It wasn't like a popular success because it wasn't the cliche movie. Homeboy jumped off though. Who's Homeboy? Blake, who's Homeboy? The guy who plays Kang the Conqueror now. He's a very good actor. What the freaking heck is his name though?

I don't know from Nightmare Alley. Yeah. I like movies with cool actors in it. I like... He's a very good actor. I'll look up Nightmare Alley. I'll see who it is. But Willem Dafoe is in it.

He's amazing. Oh, he jumped off. Bradley Cooper who like... Oh, Bradley Cooper jumped off. I'm not a huge Bradley Cooper guy, but I liked him in it. Jonathan Majors. Oh, yeah. Who's John Majors?

She's a fucking up next, bro. Okay. All right. Yeah. Well, he's in that. Sure. But anyway, I just... And if you watch a movie from the 70s or from another country,

where they don't have to answer to all these executives who are like, well, wait, where's the callback thing that we set up? And it will blow your mind. You're like, wait, movies can be this and it's so refreshing. And that's like you watch a movie from the 80s or early 90s before everything was so formulaic. And you're like... Even now where I grew up with those movies and I liked them

and never had a problem with them when I was a kid watching that stuff. And then now I'm like, god damn, get to it. Because we've been trained. Right. Conditioned, bro. Conditioned. And it sucks. Yeah.

It sucks. I get it. It fucking sucks. It's the worst. I just read a script. Nice, dude. I'm not going to say what the script is, but I just read a script that I had read three years ago.

But I just sent you... No, no, no. It's not yours. It's not yours. But I had read it three years ago and then the pandemic hit and it got bounced around from studio to studio to studio. And just like everybody's injecting their notes and it was cool when I read it three years ago.

When I just picked it up, I was like, what are all of these fucking... This is not correct. Like this is too much to absorb up top. I'm watching the movie to learn this stuff. I'm not watching the movie to hear it, to hear everybody be so aware of their character arcs. Right. Like it's like, what the fuck?

But they have to say it because the number one note. And guys, if you're listening now, this is episode 100 where we tell you we hate life. Screenplay talk. I got to keep it a hundred. Every executive's like, their big whole thing is we want... The audience can never not know what's going on. And it's like, the fuck are we talking about?

Yeah, I fucking hate that shit. Episode 100, we keep it a hundred, man. Well, so what is that? Do you think that is a response to people thinking the audience is dumb as shit or that the audience through fits with movies ending not on a happy note? No, it's both. It's both, it's both. I think that people think audiences are dumber than they are.

And I think sometimes audiences are dumb. Yes, sometimes audiences are dumb. And they want to reach everybody. They don't want it to just be some people. They want everyone to get it. I'm also going to say that it's the executives themselves. Yeah, and they're trying to cover their asses. It's the executives themselves inserting themselves.

I'm not going to say that. I'll say that. The executives rock. The executives themselves inserting themselves into the creative process in a way that is not needed. And he never worked again. Did you say any never worked again? Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I just miss movies for guys who like movies.

Thank you, Adam. Somebody just said it. I just miss movies for guys who like movies. Are you just quoting them in the script now? Yeah. Good. Movies or guys who like movies, it's a hell of a time. I don't know man, but like seeing movies,

like I watched a- Scene. Jackie Chan, what the fuck was it? Cop, cop, copper or just, no, super cop. Super cop. Super cop. Oh yeah. The other day, I'm like, what is this?

And even Kyle, hopefully you appreciate this as a director, even the language of directing now is so derivative and kind of like, let's check the box, let's just do this. And you watch a movie from the 70s where they're kind of winging it and you're like, whoa, what's that shot? It actually kind of works better even though- Yeah.

It's crazy. What they call it, I mean in film or in television, it's like you have what, your coverage. You know what I mean? You have to cover things for the edit work. Different shots, different stuff and it has become so formulaic that even in the industry, when you're on set,

people can say, give me the deli menu, like the regular coverage. So you can walk into a scene and know the deli menu and make that scene work, but it has no vision. Well- It has zero vision. Maybe that's, it's for the good and the bad though,

cause I think if you give somebody, like maybe when people start to think too far out of the box, then you start to get movies that are just like, what the fuck am I even watching at this point? It does- Like what is that for you? Yeah. What's too far?

Like it requires skill to be a good director, but if everybody coming into like- Like a serious man? Like directing school is like, I'm super heady. And then you watch their product and you're kind of like- But that's why when you watch a film students project, it's usually kind of incoherent and out there, but you need these fresh new young minds

to take these swings so that you can get something fantastic as soon as they like reel in their skillset and they sharpen their tools. Yay or nay, Kyle? Yeah, yeah, Blake, I mean, yes, yay, yay. Right? You don't want every film student to be like, hey, I got the deli menu,

I'm done exploring the depths of filmmaking. Sure. There is a certain- It's also super annoying as an actor when you're like, you want a director that has a vision that isn't just gonna do a million takes of coverage when you're like, you know, you're not gonna use that shot. It's just so when you get in the edit,

an executive can't say, where's that shot? Exactly, it's out of fear. It's built out of fear. It's not built out of a tour ship or built out of like a vision. You know, it's not there. And I think it is sad. You do need to know these rules in order to break them.

Yeah. That's why film students, fresh out of film school stuff, it doesn't click because they don't necessarily know the rules and they're already breaking all the rules. All right. This is 100, this is and we're keeping it. You should know them before you break them. Keep it at so 100 right now.

Yeah, man. Hey, sorry, industry, sorry, industry, fuck you, dude. We're fucking done here. Hey, we're done here. Adam, when I heard you were dying, I'm like, fuck it, man. Fuck this industry, bro. I'm in the streets, okay? Dude, I'm done with that.

I hate the deli menu, man. Give me a sloppy joke. Thank you. Sloppy joke, sloppy joke. Slopper beauty and all this weird shots. Give me, don't mess with Zoan. Okay. It's funny, man.

Writing the workaholics movie, I'm like, am I supposed to be hitting all these fucking boxes so it feels like every other movie right now? Or am I supposed to just write what I know we dig? You know what I mean? Exactly, exactly. Does it turn it? That being said, definitely check all the boxes.

I know. Check all the boxes. Fuck you. Also, yeah. Give me the art, Anders. Give me the fucking art. 100. Too much fun for your money.

Jersey, I would like to give some early flowers to you. Jersey just gave us the first 56 pages of our movie. Very exciting. Let's go. And 10 more pages to go. And Jersey crushed it. I'm very happy, very happy. Yeah, I can't wait to get to filming.

Hey, guys. Listeners, we're going to give you guys a movie in at least a year and a half. At least. Hey, they wanted the update. They got the update. Got it. It's been two years from now.

Look, and maybe we're going to about to be start shooting and then fucking Adam's eyes go out and we don't know what's going to happen. Or say his fucking worms fall out of the sack. Who knows? That's when I really start crying, bro. We can't make the movie. Adam's worms fell out of the sack.

Well, I like doing this shit so much. I really love what we do. And I was talking with my dad, FaceTiming, from the hospital bed. And I was like, man, it just sucks. If I can't see, I won't be able to still be an actor. I won't be able to do all the things that I like to do. And he was like, OK, but you'll still

be blind for your whole life. Right. And I'm like, OK, don't do it. Yeah, you're right. It does suck beyond just being an actor. It would suck for my entire life. But I know where you're coming from. This is your passion.

This is what you wake up for. This is why you drink nickel at night. This is important. And caffeine. This is why I chug Red Bull during the day. The thing is, you can always do the podcast. Wow, it's a vicious cycle. You smoke weed.

This is why you drink till you black out. Yeah. It's a vicious, vicious cycle. There's got to be blind actors, though, right? I don't know. There's not many of them, I wouldn't think. There has to be, though. I can't think of one.

I think these corporations need to start including some blind actors. Yeah. Or I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Was there a blind actor? I never saw Koda, but wasn't there? Was it Blind or Deaf? No, that's Deaf.

No, they were all Deaf. Yes. They're Deaf, OK. I think that's the way to go. If you're going to have an impairment, I think Deaf is the- There's been a couple movies about that now. Yeah, you can still get your Academy Award. Koda stands for Children of Deaf Adults.

Oh. And it's also a musical reference because it's a music movie. Was the homie in that scary movie actually blind or no? Remember that movie about a blind guy? Oh my God. That was dude from Avatar. I love that guy. What was that movie called?

It was- I don't know. Y'all were jealous. Be Quiet? What is this? Was it called Be Quiet? Be Quiet. Oh, Be Quiet.

Oh, yeah, where he had the spoiler, where he had the person in the basement, locked up in a cage. Well, they're sneaking around his house. Yes. So the premise is there's a blind guy who these kids think has millions of dollars and they're going to go into his house to rob him. When they get in there, they find out, oh, this dude was

like a tactical marine back in the day. Yeah, he was like ex-marine. Yeah. And because he's blind, he can hear better and he can smell better. I love that. How real is that shit, by the way? The movie is amazing.

The movie's called Don't Breathe. Don't Breathe. Because he can hear your breath. Don't Breathe. Yeah, that was a really good movie. Be Quiet. Yeah. Like how real do we think that stuff is?

I'm sure it's heightened a little bit. A movie? Oh, no, senses. The senses. Like if you lose your eyesight, would I suddenly be able to smell? You've seen Daredevil? You're far too.

I'm like, oh, Jesus. You're going to hear heartbeats. Oh, what'd you do, man? Spicy Cheetos? What is that? You're like, that's exactly what I ate. Through the internet, you could smell? If you could smell through the internet.

I would assume. Just imagine what your sense of feel would be at that point, Mike. Oh, god. Here we go. My goodness. Let your fingers do the walking. I think I would rather have.

I mean, I'm a director of visual guide, but I think I would rather lose my sense of vision. You want no vision? I think I would rather lose my vision and go audio. Why? Well, then you couldn't ever work again. If you're deaf, you could still work. No, I mean, I could work in radio and stuff.

No, no, no. He would team up with someone and he would say, I want the shot like this. And they'd be like, just do whatever you want. The deli menu. Just do the deli menu. Just do the deli menu. I'll be sitting over here.

You know, directing is fucking easy as fuck. You just say deli menu and the movie's done. Do we do that extreme close up? Yeah, we got it. What do you mean, Kyle? You could do radio. What does that mean? You'd be like a DJ or what?

The movie radio? Great movie. A lot of filmmaking and pacing and stuff is based on what you're hearing anyways. A lot of it is that. So I think I would rather have that than I would rather have that tool than the visual tool. Is it Woody Allen who doesn't?

It's a ton. Somebody does listen. They just listen for the rhythm. Yes, exactly, especially in comedy. But that doesn't make sense to me because you're going to edit later anyway. So what are they doing? They're just being extra.

They're doing the rhythms. They're doing rhythms. It's called the I Am Big Tam. I know, but the rhythm doesn't exist then and there. The rhythm exists in the bay, the edit bay. The bay, baby. A bay bay. If you're a theater director, I totally understand it.

Well, I don't know, dude. If you can get a scene to really work, there's rhythm in it. If a well-written scene can be very rhythmic, especially in comedy. I don't disagree. Sure, in a multi-cam, for sure. But you know where I'm coming from as far as single camera. The rhythm can be there on the day, but it doesn't matter.

But again, though, you're banking on the deli menu here. What if you have a shot and you need to get it done in the shot? The rhythm is super important. What do you mean, like it's just a two-shot? Yeah, what if you just want to do it like that? That's your shot. Then you've got to get the rhythms right. Doesn't matter because the executive's right there

saying I want coverage. Kyle, but if you can't see, you can't line up the shot. The cinematographer can. Well, sure, but. Cinematographer? I'm just saying, I think I could still work. He's been calling it cinematographer. I don't think I could work if I didn't have my ears.

Sure. OK, so Kyle is going site. The five senses, what would you guys go without? Oh, I was just going deaf or blind. I wasn't doing five. Taste. Taste. Oh, well, taste is 100%.

How ripped could you get if you couldn't taste anything? I know. Couldn't taste anything? Come on. Yeah, I'd lose that. That's not fair. That's not what I was saying. Yeah, OK, let's just go deaf or blind then, deaf or blind.

Deaf or blind. Deaf. I don't need to hear anything, to be honest. But to not see things. So you want your vision. Because by the way, we rely more on site than we do on our ears, for sure. You do now?

Yeah. Because you got them both. But if you get rid of one, you're going to rely. But then you can't hear music anymore. Music is so essential. Exactly, how can you live without it? You can feel it, you can feel vibrations. How can you live without music?

You just sit, it's like private parts. The Howard Stern movie. Yeah, you just sit on a speaker. Dude, crank it up, feel the vibrations. I hear that, I hear that. I think there is some validity to that. You still got your feeling? You got your feeling there?

Yeah, I mean, we still got our feeling. So it's all, gee, we still got our feeling. I should be sitting on a subwoofer right now, bro. We should do that one day. We should be sitting on subs. I'm 100% because I thought about this over the weekend when I thought I was having strokes and going blind. I was like, I first sure.

Did you beat off in the hospital? I did not beat off in the hospital, no. Wait, sidebar, we'll revisit that. I thought about it. I was alone a lot. Because Chloe's not here. I had no one to like hang out with. I was like, well, maybe I just crank it.

But then I'm like, I don't want to get it. I don't want them to knock on the door and then eight people walk in and I'm in the middle of a crank sesh. I'm going to come. So, you know. I'm closing my eyes. Moving on.

So I didn't. I did not. But I was thinking for sure I would want to keep my eyesight because you have kids, you want to watch them grow. You want to see the person that you're in love with. Don't you want to hear him sing though? Have you not seen? Haven't you seen Kota?

You put your fucking hand on the throat. Kota, you're right. I just Kota. Yeah, you're right, dude. You're right. I guess I'm just like, can you imagine not even knowing? By the way, people listening who know blind people, maybe they know better than this,

but like, and I'm not trying to fucking make their lives sound horrible, but like you don't even know what people look like. When you touch their face. But you can touch them. Yeah, you can touch them. I know, but I'm talking about like. Yeah, but in COVID, in COVID times?

No, you can't. No, you can't. You can't. Thank you, Adam. Put on some gloves. Thank you, Adam, with COVID. In COVID times? And I guess I understand that like people,

we only know people look like what we can see, right? Obviously there's other dimensionalities. So if you can't see them, you see differently. Thank you. Right? I gotta keep it a honey. I've been closing my eyes. I've been closing my eyes for the last minute and a half.

And I feel I'm hearing better. To not know what a shiny Sharpay looks like. But you can feel the Sharpay. Can you imagine? You can feel it. But it's very rough to the touch. But imagine you don't know a Sharpay is around, right? And then it gets off the leash.

First of all, I'm gonna hear that Sharpay. This Sharpay just comes and that you don't see an owner anywhere because you can't. And all of a sudden a fucking Sharpay's right next to you. I would hear it coming first of all. You wouldn't know what the fuck it was. You're like, what is this? You're actually startled by it.

You're like, it could be a gremlin. Yes, you kick this Sharpay in the face because you're terrified. Yeah, I think if you have no sight, you're gonna be trusting the world that much more. You know what I mean? Oh, you tell that to Ray Charles. Yeah, see, okay.

Yeah, my God, that's super scary. I'm into it. Oh, what? I mean, I'm not wishing it upon myself. Well, if you don't have sight, you have to be led around everywhere. It's more of a burden on other people, on your loved ones. I feel like if you can't hear,

you could still do most things. You know what I mean? You could still drive a car. You could still walk. But you're not hearing that Sharpay roll up on you. The first thing that's happening is you're seeing a Sharpay that's in your lap. It's the same shit.

Right, the little claws on the floor. Kyle, but when you look down, you see a Sharpay. You don't think a fucking gigantic mutant hedgehog is run up on you and is... I'm not thinking that either. I'm not, I don't think I'm thinking that, right? Maybe I am, but I'm over it quickly. Well, you don't know.

It's this big, wrinkly, sort of hairless beast. I'm over that quickly because I'm like, what is this? And I can hear somebody say it's a Sharpay or I can hear the dog bark. If you're listening and not watching, Kyle's had his eyes closed for the last several minutes for some reason. I'm just feeling it.

I'm just feeling it. I mean, it's, it's, I'm just feeling it. What are you feeling? Yeah, what are you feeling right now? What is it? It's hard to keep my eyes closed for this long. You and me, stupid. Stupid.

Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband

set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life.

She was like, oh my God, I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me.

Listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, Thursdays on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Let me say this though,

because this was one of my favorite things is when Jamie Foxx was filming Ray, they put like prosthetics over his eyes to just keep him closed or whatever. And he started freaking out because he was just like, he lost sense of like where he was, his equilibrium and all that.

And then just a couple of days ago, gave us the greatest Donald Trump impression of all time. God, both things related, that was really good, yeah. God, he is so talented. Amazing. Excuse me. I feel like I liked Jamie Foxx before I met Anders. And then after meeting Anders,

I become a huge Jamie Foxx fan. Yeah. You're in the Foxhole? Yeah, he's all the way in there. I'm so in the Foxhole, man. The guy's the best. He is. He's our best.

The Trump impression that they posted the other day, if you saw it, it's the best one there is. And it's fucking crazy. Like if your whole thing is impressions, aren't you just kind of pissed that there's also another guy who like on the side can do it better than you and then gets Oscars? Yeah.

And he could do it better than you and then also can dance better than you, looks better than you is a great singer. He could play the piano. He also has his own pickleball. I like how Adam's like his dancing, his looks. Those are the first things. He has his own pickleball paddle.

Oh, really? His own pickleball. You can buy the Jamie Foxx pickleball paddle. Yes. Are you serious? I swear. You're not fucking with us? Oh my god.

I'm not fucking with you, dude. Yeah, I don't know what company puts it out, but I saw it on the IG. So good. Is it real? It was maddening. Maddening. OK.

So wait, after taste, what's the next sense to go? Touch. Smell. No, smell. Oh, those are kind of. Smell might even be one. Interesting. Oh yeah, smell could go before taste.

But then once you lose smell, you lose taste. Smell is most of taste, isn't it? Yeah. So it's taste, smell. Still can taste, but it's not as flavorful, right? Like because you. I like that. Is it right?

I don't know. It seems real. I don't know. What did COVID do? Did it take away your smell or just your taste? Both. I think it was both for you, bitch. Yeah.

It was definitely me as well. You lost your sense of taste and smell. And how was that? This is the way. It sucked. I couldn't taste or smell at my wedding. Oh, wow, yeah. Like everyone was like, oh, the food's great.

And I'm like, I bet. I'm drunk. Hey, the food's great. I'm drunk. I'm black. I'm just chucking tequila because I can't taste it. This water's delicious. It's like water.

Yeah, this water's good. This goes on quick. No ice in these little cups of water, huh? OK. And everybody take a sip of your beverage and let's get back. Yeah, and mix it up. We'll water break over here. Yeah.

Hey, we're taking another water break? OK. Adam, you got to take a water break. You got to hydrate, brother. I'm at it. All right. Let me get another shot of water. No, I don't know.

I guess they put all their water in these glass bottles, and then they poured them in these tiny little water glasses. Because you're blind? Because you're also blind. I got the long haul COVID. I'm deaf. I'm blind. I can't see or smell.

Black ass. Only have touch. Blake, are you in town right now? Yes, sir. Are you in LA? Yes, sir. I was hoping. The Malibu Triathlon is in a couple of weeks.

Yeah. I'm going to do it. Could you guys run it? Wait, what? Oh, my god. Good job. You're just saying you're going to do it, or you're training? I'm training.

I started training 10 days ago. Don't be a bitch, Blake. 10 days? That's all I need to get on track? Yes. You're a runner. Don't be a bitch. Just run a triathlon.

I was like, if Adam was in town, this dude's a cycling madman. I know Blazers out there just running miles. And I was like, oh, my god. We could win the celebrity relay for sure. You think? Oh, you can do relay? Yeah. What could I do?

Tech ball. And you can wait for us at the finish line with your pickleball. What could I do? You can make snacks. You want me to film it? Yeah. You can bring orange slices. You break out a pickleball game at the finish line.

Yeah, it's called a triathlon. You could try and show up. Yeah, bro. But Kyle, just to be clear here, Blake is a runner and Adam does cycle and I have swimming in my background. I know, I know, I know. It was clear. I stepped in there for a joke, a little josher.

You know what I mean? It's not a joke, Kyle. There's truth in comedy, though, isn't there? A lot. And I did feel left out. How do you like that rhythm? Yeah, the rhythm was good. And all I'm saying is that if we are all in town next year,

because it doesn't look like it's going to happen this year, let's do this. Let's throw down. That would be fantastic. I didn't even know that was a thing. What's the mileage? What's the distances that you got to do on a triathlon? So this is what drives me crazy.

So there's like a celebrity one. I'm the coach. That's like a shorter distance, but not that much shorter. I think it's like 800 meter swim, like an 18 mile bike and then a four point something mile run. Oh, cake. I know, that's what I'm saying. 18 miles, I got that.

I do that every damn day. Yeah, this is nothing. I'm going to do the Olympic distance, which is 1.5 K swim, 30 K bike, 10 K run. What is 30 K? What is that? It's 24.8 miles biking. OK, yeah, yeah.

That's doable. Yeah, dude. Are you swimming in the ocean? That's right. There's been some great white shark sightings coming around. And I'm not feeling that. See, that's scary. Yeah, you're good, dude.

I'm gearing up. I'm getting some wetsuits and all that stuff. Wow, this is sick, man. Yeah, that is cool. Get some chain mail. Are you in great shape right now? I can't tell if that jaw is drooping or not. I think it's pretty tight.

It's OK. Yeah, at least seems like you're lean derse right now. I'm all right. He's on cam. He's on cam. Yeah, usually I don't do any camera work. No, but I've been doing some swimming and some running and some cycling.

But I like will have only trained for three some weeks for this. But I'm saying relay. I love it. Damn it, dude. We would kill people. Let's hop in. Well, I think we could. Well, Adam's gone, huh?

Damn. Yeah, when is it? When is it? Tell me, I'm coming home in a few weeks. I think it's on the 17th of September, I think. I think I'm home. Are you? Let's do it.

Stop it. I think I'm home. Stop it. OK, so Nautica Malibu Triathlon, we're fucking coming for you. And I'm going to do it on my own the day before. But if we get our shit together for that Sunday, when it's like the celebrity joint, we're going to smoke fools. Yes.

That's a good call. Like your boy, Zac Efron. I don't know if he's doing it this year, but I know his brother does it with my homie, Connor Dwyer, who's like a Olympian dude, swimmer guy. They might be getting it really, really together. I think we could fucking smoke those guys. Oh, shit.

OK, now I'm getting worried. I don't know. Yeah, now I'm getting worried. Yeah, it's not so much of a shoey. I had high hopes. Just an Olympian and a legit professional triathlete and Zac Efron, who's not like in really good shape. Yeah, we're fucked.

We're already in second place. Yeah, you lost the gold, baby. I just heard Steve Howie's putting together a team. We're fucked. Oh, dude. I talked to Howie. I talked to Howie. You know like the cast of like Aero

is going to get a squad together and just Team Wolf. Team Wolf's about to tear it up. You're referencing shows from 10 years ago. They're still strong. Those guys are not strong anymore. They're still going, dude. Come on. I know Tyler Posey's still buff as fuck, bro.

He's out here. There's no doubt in my mind. You guys are toast. They just did a movie for Paramount Plus. We're next. Team Wolf dead? And you're toast. Team Wolf dead.

How was it, Formulac? Did not watch it. Yeah, we gotta see that. What if they really like switch it up? That'd be sick. Right, with Jackie Chan. Ooh, Operation Condor. This is a, and I'm just throwing it out.

What was the boo? Remember the boo like the internet sketch comedy? That was the Lonely Island. That was a Channel 101 show. Yeah, that was Channel 101. I need to revisit that. That was kind of like their jump off or what? Well, they won.

They won like months, months in a row, because that's what it was. Yes, they were crushing it. Wait, wait, wait. What did they win back? They won Channel 101, that's what I was saying. It was Dan Harmon. And what was Channel 101?

So explain what Channel 101 is. Channel 101 was Dan Harmon and Shrob, and maybe, I don't know who else was involved, but it was- Rob Shrob, the homie, directed some episodes of War Collox. Jack Black? Oh, Jack Black, of course. And they had this, was it once a month, that you would screen your web series,

an episode from your web series, and if it was funny enough and you won, you made the next episode of that web series. The boo was famously the Lonely Island. Like reigning champion. And it was a spoof on those MTV shows. On the OC. It was a spoof on OC.

Where was it held? It was somewhere in Hollywood. I remember we went one time and we were like, oh my god, this is so cool. Oh my god, thank you guys. It was one of those you found your people moments. Yeah, it was cool. Because they had Yacht Rock, didn't Harmon?

Harmon had Yacht Rock that reigned supreme for a while. Do you guys remember that? Was Harmon part of Yacht Rock? I thought so. I can't remember exactly. I can't remember anything. I'm blind. Do you like-

This is a deep one. I'm pretty sure that Yacht Rock, the comedy, like a sketch comedy show or whatever, that was the first time Yacht Rock was ever said. I think they coined that phrase. I actually thought that too. Yeah, I think that's a thing now from them. Yes, I truly think that.

I feel like I was saying it in eighth grade. Really? You were saying Yacht Rock in eighth grade? Allegedly. You're a cool dude. I said Yolo. You said Yolo? Yeah.

You were on it too, bro. I said Crunk. I was saying Crunk before Little John said Crunk. But it was you only lunch once, because everyone's like, there's so many lunches. I go, no, you only lunch once. But it was still Yolo. I was like, dude, I go, remember,

how am I supposed to remember there's only one lunch? I'm like, Yolo, you only lunch once. And they go, sick, dude. Yes, points! And then you gave people points? I actually was the first person to say yes points. But that was about something else too. Is 100, baby.

That was about fingers. I was talking about, they were like, what are these? Can we do this? I go, yes. What are those? Wait, you had what are those? What are those? You were damn Daniel.

They actually, I met the guy who said what are those. And I go, those are fingers. And he started doing this. I go, yes, points. They point. Damn Daniel. Yeah. And he was like, cool, damn Daniel.

I go, it's pronounced Anders. Oh my God. Then he said, let's go. We got any take backs, apologies, epic slams, flowers. Wow, what's this 100, man? 100, baby. Yeah, I want to apologize to the fans for not doing anything remotely special.

But guess what, man? My friend almost died. So give me a fucking break. The worms. Turns out I didn't almost die. I thought I almost died. The worms almost came out of his sack. My nut sack still hurts.

Still got to get that figured out. I'm telling you, let me in there. The back brain, the low brain, the low worm sack. That's right. We got two heads, two brains, right? Right, Blake? Yeah, the low brain is malfunctioning. And I kept being like, it has to be connected.

It has to be the pain that I'm experiencing from my nut sack caused me to go blind. The dick pain is connected to the skull bone. For sure. And they're like, yeah, that's what I thought. And everyone was like, no. Who's everyone? You're listening too much to Western medicine.

You have to be. Doctors are in there when you whip your dick out, dude. We got to know, was it? You have to be your own. Bring them all. Bring them in. No, just the one doctor. Just the one doctor.

But the doctors. Adam, if you believe they're connected, follow that lead, bro. Go, go. Listen to your body. Go, you're your best advocate. Well, I'm going to try to get the nut sack figured out. I'm going to, I'm in the process of trying to figure that out.

Good luck. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. When it comes to health. Yeah, let me take a look. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out for you. I'll figure that out.

Good luck. I'll figure that one out. If you can't, if you can't figure it out, I'll figure it out. Yeah, I'll figure it out. Yeah, I guess what would mine be a shout out or what? But Adam, that was legitimately scary. It was a reality check. Fucking.

It was. It really was. You know, we take our health for granted. Not, it's just fucking shit, dude. It shook me up a little bit, but I'm glad you're OK. Thank you, Blakey. Also, we're just, you know, it's the 100th episode. We're keeping it 100.

Hey, at least your wife still listens. Leave my name out. Adam's going to be hella quiet on the next episode. I'm going to hear about that. What up, Adam? Doing good over here? I'm going to hear about that one. Just watching more Sopranos.

You guys get into it. Adam, favorite character from Sopranos? Oh, big pussy. What changes every time? I love pussy. That cheating line, rat, bastard. Don't spoil it for me. I think probably Polly Walnuts.

I get a real kick out of him. He's he's super funny. Yeah, RIP. Great name. There's a character named Polly Walnuts. Yeah, he's so sick. He just passed. And then and then also Chris.

I really. Oh, what? His storyline is fucking great. Yeah, Chris is the best. Yeah. Polly Walnuts and Chris. I hear that. Chris, yeah.

Dude, simple, simple name, complex character. Oh, bro. Complex character. Those are those are probably my two favorites. And then Tony, obviously, Tony is for sure the favorite, but that's whack just to go, Tony. Blaze, I was a Polly Walnuts guy as well. Very.

I don't even remember Polly Walnuts. Really? He was the one with the. Silver hair. The streaks, the silver hair on the sides. All right. His name was Polly Walnuts. Yeah, he just.

Yeah. Yes. And I just know that it was Polly. Well, who's your guy? Janice. Oh, OK. Let's go. Janice.

Janice was like pound for pound, scene for scene. Like she was the greatest character in that series for me. She did right. I hate her. I mean, she would she. I know who is she? She's great. She's Tony's sister.

She's Tony's sister. And she's just so good. Every time she walks in the room, you're like, oh, my fucking guy. Yeah, you're like, she's going to do something. Buff on Google. Buff on Google. Buff on Google. But yeah, I'm a Janice guy.

What's her actor name? What's her name? What's her real name? I don't know. There's no way to tell. I've only seen her there on that show. I think I worked with her on Shadow. The show is weird where it's like it's Edie Falco.

Yes. And that was Eddie. Gandolfini. And those are the only two people that you really knew from the show. Like name-wise, no one else went on to do. Didn't Meadow, Meadow went on to do some episodes of Honorage. Come on. And Honorage.

Don't forget that that one dude is in. He said Honorage. That one dude is in Bruce Springsteen's band, which is sick. Oh, yeah, bro. You're talking about. I needed Lilah Hammer. Durs, you're talking about Aida Tuturo. That's John Tuturo.

That's John Tuturo's. What? Oh, wow. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I worked with her on Shadows. She was in an episode of Shadows that I did, and she is fucking awesome. Yes, like the best.

Love her. Love her so much. She is next level on that show, so that checks out. She's next level in real life. She's awesome. Yeah, I think I like that, Durs. That is a deep cut. I think it's just because I like hate her on the show so much,

that the reason she didn't love Top of Mind. But she plays a great, not even villain, just like a person that, it's so real, like a person that you have in your life that you can't cut out of your life. They're in too deep. Yes, yes. But you're like, jeez, every time they're around,

you're like, Jesus Christ. Yes. And like, you're going to make this worse, no matter what the situation. And this actress always, you can see the wheels turning in her. Like just off of little looks, you're like, oh my god. She's fantastic. Someone else says something, and then they cut to her looking,

and you already know what she thinks. She's great, man. So good. She's great. And the fact that she's John Titoro's sister, I think I know where John got all his moves from. John might be older than her. OK.

John might be older. I got to keep it a secret. That doesn't matter. He could still look at his little sister and go, oh, that's cool. Oh, I do that. It's still some moves. She's good. Blake, show the people our Blink 182 shirt.

Oh, yeah. I feel, is that on camera? Yeah, Blink 182, but that's us. And then what does the back say, Blakey? I like the old. I like the old Blink 182. Blink 182. And now what does that mean?

Dude, I got to give up. I tell you to get it, but it's already sold out. It's already sold out. Yeah, shout out to Blink. Also, shout out to Baby Newtch for taking that photo. I'm going to give them flowers for snapping that on set, hanging around, right place with the camera. Got it.

Love it. Good job, But Newtch. And thank you, Blink 182, for making my dreams come true. Honestly, love you guys, the old version. Kyle, did you want to mention the look-alike that I sent you? You sent me a look-alike? Was it in my DMs? Or what do we call it, the doppelgangers?

Dead ringer. Yeah. I think I sent you a guy. The dead ringers. The dead ringers. The dead ringers. Who's my dead ringer? I sent you a guy doing a.

Like and subscribe. Five stars. Like a motorcycle endo, that big guy. Oh, that was such a sick ass fucking move, bro. Yeah, I wish I could do that. It looked like a big ass Kyle, though. He did like an endow wheelie into a fucking 180 out. I don't even know how you did that.
