DII Nation, count me down. It's a breakfast buzz. Here we go. Start your engines. Good morning, GII Nation. Yeah, baby. This might be our earliest record yet, not for Adam Adams in a different time zone, but Ders and myself, woo, you can still hear the, you can still hear the fur in my voice.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Hear the sleepies, are you got, how are we, we do it? It's 9 a.m., it's not squirrely early, and you guys have children, so I was thinking maybe that's a regular dad time to be up and about and moving and shaking, but no, you're still. This is when we go back to bed. Yeah, the bears go back in the cave, baby, catch a couple more Z's.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And what is squirrely early? What is that? Squirrely early, like for me, it's like 6 a.m. That's squirrely early. I agree. And then you get up, I've been having early calls all this week, so I'm wide awake. Oh, look at you go.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Cause I've been getting up at like 4 or 5 a.m. So. Dude, last week I was getting up at 3 something to get picked up at 4 a.m. for worse. Hold up. That's terrible. Yucky, gucky. Cause then we had to drive an hour to get to where we were
Starting point is 00:03:30 and we were filming outside, so we needed that daylight. Oh God, daylight dependent, bitch. Chasing daylight. And then I just got on that clock where I was like, didn't have to wake up and then woke up at 4 like, ready to rock, where's my ride? I feel like I do that for like three days, and then I'm like, this is who I am now.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I'm an early morning guy now. I'm gonna get so much done. Make an omelet. And then the weekend hits. And even though I woke up at like 5 a.m. that Friday, I still will stay up till 2 a.m., like falling asleep in my Ashland hard seltzer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:07 In my villager spirits. Okay, let's go. Just hanging on. And then the next day I wake up at 10 a.m., like a fucking asshole. I can't do it. Yeah, it's rough. It's really rough out there for go hard like you.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And Blake, are you hungover? You're wearing sunglasses. You're just joining us now. Listeners, he's wearing shades. Okay, I'm glad you guys asked. I got a little merch drop from one of my favorite companies. I'm buzzing, baby.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It might be 9 a.m. Buzz balls. Buzz balls. Are Buzz balls a sponsor of the podcast or you just are repping them? This is an unofficial sponsor. I also got, wait, hold that up please. Just so we get the screenshot.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You wanna see the merch? They wanna see the merch. I'm buzzing, baby. Well, why aren't they a sponsor? Well, I'll tell you what, I definitely am sitting on one case. Whoa. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'm sitting on two cases of Buzz balls over here. So the bit is now real. We're talking $40. We're talking $40 value. Upwards of $35 to $40 worth of merch. The bummer is, is I didn't throw them in the fridge. So I don't know. Should I do the earliest recorded Buzz ball in history?
Starting point is 00:05:30 Yeah. Take your time. Go get some ice. Have a morning room temp Buzz ball and let the people know how it tastes. And is that a Buzz balls denim cap? It is, yes. And if I know Blake, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:44 and I'm not trying to throw shade this early in the morning, but you are one of my most frugal friends. Okay, that ain't no problem with that. And this is, this is downstairs. This isn't on the main floor that you're recording this podcast from. So, and I know it's been like an unbelievable heat wave in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Absolutely. Yep. Yeah. How hot are you running the AC? Because Blake was known for not running the AC because of, because he's a cheap thought. Yeah. Is it running?
Starting point is 00:06:18 It's a sweat box. Is it? It's already hot here. Oh yeah. And you're not running the AC. Where you are, but it's it. No, no, not during peak hours. Cause Newsom said you can't run it during peak hours.
Starting point is 00:06:30 So I'm flexing my power, baby. You notice when he said all that though, he was wearing like a sweater. Yeah. He was in the coldest motherfucking spot. Yeah. He was like wearing like a fleece. He was probably at French laundry
Starting point is 00:06:43 having a $9,000 dinner. Okay, let's go. You guys remember the movie The Rock with Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery? I don't know. Adam, do you remember The Rock? I guess it sounds familiar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I feel like I remember the most seminal film of my childhood, Blake. Okay, so remember? Oh! Remember like about the whole plot of the movie is like somebody, is it Ed Harris has like a nuke or something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:12 But remember, okay. But remember how they open the fucking missile and their little green balls are in there? And there's all those balls. Oh, shit! It's all buzz balls, baby. I'm on The Rock over here, baby. Listen, if you're listening to this

Starting point is 00:07:45 where the props guys come in and they're like, you're gonna lose your fucking mind. And they're like, okay, so what is it? And they open it up and it's those little dangly balls. And then everyone's kind of like, yeah. Everyone's like, uh. Right. Okay, but it doesn't seem real though.
Starting point is 00:08:02 And they're like, shut the fuck up. They're like, what is it? What are the green balls? They're like, there's like venomous gas. You know, it's gases. Venomous? The director's like, what's the deal? What is this, the contraption?
Starting point is 00:08:14 And he's like, look, I was on the phone till 3 AM last night with Nick Cage. This is all his idea. I had to fucking scrap it together. I think it's kind of fucking cool. Can we just do it? Otherwise, Nick's gonna be up my a-hole. Bucky-ducky.
Starting point is 00:08:30 He's gonna be up my ass and Sean's gonna have to talk him off the ledge, bro. Okay, I'm gonna buzz. You got a Sean Connery right, Blake? Oh, do I? Dude, how, how didn't SNL just nab you up? Dragon heart. How did they not swoop you
Starting point is 00:08:50 when you were like 24 years old? I don't get it with talent like that. Yeah, man. You got to fuck the prom queen. Hey, that's not bad. That's pretty good. 007 doggy. You're the man now, doggy.
Starting point is 00:09:03 See, that's how I do impressions. I just say, I have to say like where you know them from and then usually their name. So it'd be like, 007. I'm Sean Connery. That might have been Pierce. That might have been Pierce. You have to name a couple films.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You're like 007. 007? It's me, Pierce Brosnan. I found Forrester. I found Forrester. I found him. You're the man now, dog. Perfect.

Starting point is 00:10:01 Did you say that to your children? It wasn't good. That was one that... The whole movie's about this like anxious dad trying to find his kid and it just hated the movie. What's new? I was like, get your shit together, Pops.
Starting point is 00:10:13 It's fine. But I guess like the mom got eaten so he doesn't want to lose his kid. But it's just not my style. Well, why don't you cry about it? How would you feel if your wife was eaten? Ders, you'd probably be pretty anxious and not really know what to do.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Put yourself in Nemet's shoes. I don't know. You're used to swimming around, doing your own thing and then now you gotta stay in the school? Wait, so Nemo's the son or the daughter? Who knows the kid with the one little flipper? I don't know. I just listening to like this anxious dad

Starting point is 00:12:03 This handsome, regal, old, blue-eyed beauty. Oh, I love it. I'm bummed that we've never been in an army movie. I think we might have missed, we might have missed our Dunkirk. I feel like the window is like in your 20s, early 30s, get in your army movie. You might not be a redneck.
Starting point is 00:12:24 You might not be a soldier, but you might be like a captain. So keep, okay, here's your sign. No, I think if anyone's getting it, it's Ders. Ders is gonna be like, cause you're tall. I can still see it. Ders, you got that John line going for you.

Starting point is 00:14:30 And I'm like too, I have too much of a natural kind of goofy personality to play like a hardened corporal. I feel people will be like, well, he's not a hardened corporal. He's fucking, we know that little fucking goof troupe. He's not a hardened right. And when you walk away and the pants are just so tight on that booty.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Corporals don't got a butt like that. Booty squeaking. They, have you guys seen that new, that guy, who the fuck is this guy that runs around with his giant ass? That he's always running places? It's like a viral person. It's not a gig.

Starting point is 00:17:25 Bro has one bird scooter that he's used his whole life. But yeah, he keeps it in the garage. He's stolen it and somehow rigged it to where he doesn't have to pay. It's fully customized. It's just his, yeah. He spray painted it. What would happen if you kept your bird scooter
Starting point is 00:17:41 or whatever scooter you used? They have tweets and. Well, there's track. Yeah, let's not just say bird. Let's talk about all the brands. Yeah, let's open it up a little bit. We're not sponsored. Lime, what are some other ones?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Dooter scooters. Lime, live wire. I don't know. No, that's where we used to download porno. That's where I heart's a deep throat. There's the Morpheus. Well, what if you kept it in your garage and like the guy keeps coming

Starting point is 00:18:23 and like scooping them up and taking them back to the charging center. Yeah, Walsh was, I was, I think, trying to get some extra coin doing that. He definitely said it sucked and like he didn't get paid enough. Side hustle. No, but isn't it also your job
Starting point is 00:18:36 and this is where it got fucked up is cause, well, this is like kind of what I heard through the grapevine. But Goons was living with our boy Greg, but part of picking up the scooters is that you're also responsible for charging them. So he was like charging hella scooters at the house.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So the electrical bill was just going like through the roof because he's charging like a dozen bird scooters at night. I can believe that. That's when you hope you live at like an apartment complex where you could just do it in the garage. Yeah. Secret, secret. With like the one electrical outlet
Starting point is 00:19:09 and get an extension cord and just plug in 30 of them. Right. And it's like a Christmas vacation style. The fucking manager of the building comes down and is like, this is a crazy fire hazard. The lights are just flickering above. Right. And hit that buzz ball, baby.

Listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, Thursdays on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. We used our fake ID names quite a bit, I feel, because mine was my workaholics character,
Starting point is 00:28:11 Adam DeMamp. I was Devin D. Mamp, which we've covered. Because you're homey who made IDs. This is the best. Could only rearrange letters. He's like, I can't give you a new name. I can only rearrange the letters. It was literally the first Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop
Starting point is 00:28:27 won the first time they came out with it. Right, it's Adobe Photoshop. Yeah, they probably just called it Photoshop. Allegedly. And it was, what, 2000? And late? I think 2000. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And he could take letters away or numbers away. He couldn't add something new and have it look good. So he could just rearrange the letters on the ID. So he had to use whatever your name was. He could rearrange the name and make it a new name. So I was Devin D. Mamp. Yeah, which is pretty good. The fact that you pulled Devin, you're like,
Starting point is 00:29:09 I'll definitely be Devin. Yeah, I'm Devin Mamp. You know that last name, Mamp, that you've heard? Yeah, the Mamp Clan. Oh, it was a D, like middle initial? Oh, yeah. Yeah, D was a middle initial. Oh, I thought it was DeMamp.
Starting point is 00:29:22 OK, I'm OK. And then on the show, I was like, DeMamp is a cooler name than just Mamp. Mamp is, the Mamp family is a proud family. It's a family name. The Mamp family. Oh, of the Omaha Mamps? Of the Mamps?
Starting point is 00:29:38 Of the Mamp. That's right, that's right. Yes, yes, that's right. The Mamps. By way of Iowa? Yes, that is correct. Maryland and Waterloo. Before that, Ireland, the Mamps.
Starting point is 00:29:50 The Mamps family. The Mamps, of course. Mamp actually means mountain that cascades into water and just kind of turns into mud. Can you go fetch the goats off the Mamp now, Lassie? Frolicking in the Mamp. Come in my Mamp. You know, I learned what, like, when Chloe was,
Starting point is 00:30:12 like, changing her name from Chloe Bridges to Chloe Devine. As she should, as she should. As she should, as I made her. We were, like, looking up, like, the meanings of names. And, like, the Bridges is, like, people, it was kind of whack. I think I know what Bridges is. Can I take a guess?
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yeah, please do. Is it, like, something that connects two pieces of land? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Points, yes, yes. How does he do it? I don't know how he does it. Yeah, it's like people that lived near Bridges or under Bridges or by Bridges.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And it's like, that's a crazy way to just, like, name. Yeah, they're a troll family. Trolls. That's a crazy way to name yourself. Like, just, like, by kind of where you were. We're under the bridge. But Devines were hilarious. Devine was either they were, like, a well-to-do person
Starting point is 00:31:05 that they would. I think it was church or something. That they were divine. Yeah. Or, and this happened quite a bit, it was, like, a way to make fun of someone as a way who's, like, thinks he's, like, hot shit. And so you're like, oh, they're a divine.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Oh, OK. So it was, like, bougie. Adam Devine, you fancy bitch. So Devine meant bougie back in the day. Yeah, I guess so. So technically, I'm Adam bougie. You guys were kind of like. I think we know what Blake's last name means.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Hey, bitch. Oh, fuck off, brother. You're my dad. He's my son. And it really is that, right, Anders' son? Yeah. You are my son. Anders' son.
Starting point is 00:31:42 And I think my last name does mean, like, island or something. Home? Yeah, like, off the shore island. Oh, home, OK. Like, Dolph Lundgren explained it to me one time. He was like, your name means. One time. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:56 He was like, Anders means strange. And your last name means. Well, he said, I'm going to tell you once. And if I, if I have to say it again, I'm going to beat the fuck out of you, dude. That's what your name means. No, it was tight. I was crying when he told me.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I was like. That was tight. I forget. I did. I don't forget that Dolph Lundgren was on the show. But when people asked me. Like, you were black out. I was black out.
Starting point is 00:32:17 It was Halloween. No, no, when people asked me, like, what kind of what guest sorts did you have on the show? I say Jack Black, Ben Stiller and then that's kind of. Yes, legendary. Goddamn, that's so cool. But Dolph Lundgren is right the fuck up there. Yeah, what a fucking living legend.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Yes, insane. And I just wanted to let people know that this dude was he's a movie star, right? Of a certain era and showed up on our show and was game and between takes. He wasn't like, I'll be in my trailer. He was just off to the side, stretching with his leg. Very high.
Starting point is 00:32:53 He was telling. He was like, gather around. Tell me your last name and I will tell you. So tell you what it is. Well, you know, to be perfectly honest, which we always keep it mojandid on this podcast podcast. Yeah, I got to keep it a hundred. He at first was kind of like, I got to keep it a hundred.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I can only be here for four hours or whatever he said. Yeah, three hours. And then we started improving and he was like kind of having fun and we're like giving him extra lines and jokes to say. And he was like, oh, this is this is fun. We and then he was having a good time and he was like, I'll stay a little longer. Which I thought was so cool. There's a Norseman here.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And then he started punching. He started punching us. Yeah, he was like that. He saw Ders and was like a fellow Norseman. Right. Yeah. And an Islander home. Right. An Island. They came up with the island boy things.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Dude, those guys. Those guys kind of came and went pretty quick. Huh? Those guys fucking came and went. Yeah, they're around. They are. They are starting to box. You'll probably see them in a fight soon. Oh, they're going to be in, like, yeah, what's that box in each other? Like that Barstool Sports does, like rough and rowdy.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Is that right? Well, yeah. Remember, we were like talking about, man, we want like a fighting thing where it's just like regular guys fighting. And then I realized we kind of have that. It's like social influencers fighting each other. Yeah. A lot of that. Well, no, it's I think it is rough and rowdy. I think that is the like Barstool Sports just gets like fucking guys
Starting point is 00:34:31 just like the electrician versus the guy that works in the produce section at Ralph's. Well, the other day, there was like a big one. The other day that I don't think is big one, Barstool. It's like, what's that? That new company like DAZN. I think they call it like day days in or something. Oh, yeah. Yes. They've asked me to fight Blake.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Fight me, fight David. No, they asked me to like comment on a fight, like be sitting there and being like ringside. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, it would be. I for whatever reason, I couldn't do it. And then they never asked me.
Starting point is 00:35:11 It's really weird. I mean, I get it, but like this the sport of boxing is kind of kind of wild right now. Are they the same company that does the versus battles? I think so. Oh, those were so popping during quarantine. That was probably my best memory of covid. We're like versus battles. Those were so sick.
Starting point is 00:35:31 It wasn't like spending more time with your family and loved ones and like. No, bro, that that that was. Hey, don't get it twisted. Oh, yeah. It was those versus battles that you watched on your computer. The whole family would gather around the laptop at 10. The verses. Oh, you're 40 versus.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Yes, yes. You're eight year old with the pops of popcorn. Sit down, man. Dude, it was super sick because what was what was so weird and cool about quarantine is you'd be watching verses and the chat would legit have like since nobody's at the club, like T.I.s in the chat, swizz, swizz beats in the chat. Like in your just like swizz beats is the producer of it. But yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah, yeah. But like you're like chatting and commenting along with the verses and everybody's at home. Nobody is out. So like you were like, yeah, swizz. I agree. It's you. It's you being like, yeah, tip.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Tell them totally, T.I. Hey, ATL and back down. It was just cool knowing that because I get extreme FOMO. So like knowing no one is having fun was very much like it was very calming to me. Oh, yeah. The bitch. Oh, yeah, the bitch. Extreme FOMO.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I get extreme FOMO. You know what FOMO is, correct? Yes, we know what FOMO is. Thank God, I don't want to have to fear of missing out. We know. We're actually always talking about that when you're not around. Yeah, Blake's like, I bet Blake wishes he was here with us. I always do.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I think I only watched a couple of those. It was like KUMO-D, who's very cool. Like I see where he got the name. That was probably the one I didn't see. It was like old school. I didn't. I'm such a dork. I didn't watch any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I was you didn't watch any mostly just like kicking it with my family and my loved ones. Dude, the best one by far was Young GZ versus Gucci Mane. That shit was so sick because they actually went to the same. Yeah, give us the highlight. What what do they do? What is the versus they like rap battle each other? Yeah, basically go song for song. Hey, I'm your I'm your 68 year old father.
Starting point is 00:37:55 They go hit for me. They do the rap battle. OK, they don't rap battle like making up new stuff, but they go like hit for hit. So it's like out of the gate, they'll be like, oh, this was like my number three hit. Then the other person will do that. Oh, and Ludacris has never done it because he would have been the champion. Right. He would have done really well.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I wonder who would have gone against. It would have been a fucking sick. Yeah, Luda versus Busta. Busta runs, but then but it but the thing is, is do you go until you can't go anymore? Because basically Busta would stop at some. No, because you can do me features because Busta doesn't have as many. You're crazy crazy crazy about it. You got to think about it.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Give me up with the clothes. That's the thing, Adam, you go into these verses. You're like, oh, Luda's going to mop this, bro. And then they start to pull out like the shit you didn't know. Like they were they produced or they. Featured on and then you're like, oh, my God, that was a Busta song. Or just songs that they listen to before Frank Sinatra. Busta just starts playing Journey and you're like, oh, yeah, he just really likes Journey.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I was on it. Did Scott Storch do one versus like Swiss beats? And it was like just a thousand songs. I think so. It was either him or I know Swiss beats like went up against like just blaze. People are tired. People are like just leaving going. They're coming back with like footlong subs.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah, dude, no one's there. You're what everyone is just watching from home. That was the crazy part. Oh, there's not like a little. Oh, that's right. It was during the height of code later on. They were doing it. They started. OK, that's what that's why the GZ Gucci one was sick is they did it
Starting point is 00:39:34 at a strip club in Atlanta and like that was like the first time you were watching like a like people gather and it was like, oh, my God. They're like, don't worry, this is the safest place to gather. Scott Storch versus Manny Fresh, which is insane. That's fucking good. What a night. You know, I was in New Orleans once. This is like a decade ago. I think I was like shooting the first pitch perfect movie and
Starting point is 00:40:03 legendary. It was a club on Frenchman Street. I think it was Mason and we were up in the balcony and it was like packed that night. We didn't know why and we had like it took a lot to get in. And Manny Fresh was the emcee. And it was the night that Mystical got out of prison. Oh, yeah, it was his welcome back party. Well, he's going back. They brought.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Oh, is he? Yeah, just yesterday. Oh, what's only getting worse for him? Yeah, Mystical is actually a very bad person. Beat up another lady. What happened? He's a very bad person. Essentially. Yeah. Moving on. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, you guys exchanged numbers and what? Cool voice. Yeah, you know, Chloe and I have talked about it.
Starting point is 00:40:47 If we have a child, he's going to be the godfather. Did I do that? Yeah, you did. You did. And we have proof. And it's on. But it was Mystical the first day back from prison and he got on stage and weirdly, Snoop Dogg was there and Snoop Dogg isn't a New Orleans guy. So I don't. I know Mystical is nice. Many fresh are, you know what?
Starting point is 00:41:08 He gets really bad FOMO, though. So he probably was like, yeah, I can't. I bet Snoop Dogg gets the worst FOMO. Yeah, Snoop Dogg gets. So but Snoop Dogg was on a throne. That's sick. Like a true throne and they gave him like a plate of like 200 chicken wings.
Starting point is 00:41:25 And he just sat there and ate chicken wings and watched Mystical perform. Well, I mean, let's stop saying Mystical. I don't want his name in our mouth. I don't want his name anywhere near my mouth. Check the chat from the producers. Mystical, you're canceled on T.I.I. Do not deep throw Mystical's name.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Yeah, we're taking a hard stance against Mystical. Cancelled, hated him. Yeah. Well, what sucks? I wish it wasn't such a piece of shit because I do. I know just his but he did rap. And this is one of my boy T. Murph's jokes and one of his main lines was I came in here with my dick in my hand.
Starting point is 00:42:03 That was one of his lyrics, fair enough. That's like how he jumps a song off. That's how he entered most rooms. And if you do that, it's going to catch up to you. He said, yeah, I came in here with my dick in my hand. Don't make me leave with my foot in your ass. That's something, you know, be cool. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Anyway, very fresh, terrific producer. Oh, an absolute legend. So Mystical was indicted on first degree rate charges, which I think that's the worst degree. And confess life sentence. How do degrees work? I feel that the third degree is the third degree. Burn is worse than a first degree.
Starting point is 00:42:43 What about third degree murder? Is that a thing? No, first degree. There's no third degree. That's that's major. I got three degrees. Yeah, got three degrees to my murder. Light life sentence.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Good night. It could get could get a life sentence. So my guess is that's the worst. And he's also that's what he went to prison for before. So he's a serial like rapist. So he's a terrible person. He sucks. Let me stop.
Starting point is 00:43:07 We should keep his name out of our mouth. Yeah, do not deep throat that man who I shall not mention. But it's magical. Do not mention. Do not deep his name. We were the word degree. It seems like it means quite a bit like a scholarship degree. Degrees temperature wise.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Let's break down degrees. What does the what does the word degree mean? And I wish we had this because I beat off to this. Yeah. A little known fact. T.I. nation. Kyle beats off every podcast. I guess we forgot to mention he's not here to see you.
Starting point is 00:43:44 And it doesn't feel weird. It feels good. Feels real good. It feels natural flowy. Yeah, he fucking big. He legit big time dust. Yeah, yeah. Big time dust.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Speaking of Manny Fresh, he big timer dust. And I'm a little upset about it. Points. Points. Give yourself a point. OK, give me a second. I've had a I've had a really early buzz ball. It takes me a while to find stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yes, points. What he's doing. He's doing Emmy stuff, which that's super dope, I guess, for what we do in the shadows, which is a producer on. So it is very cool. If you're going to miss the pod, that's that's a good. Nominated for best comedy, right? Yeah, you you think Emmys is the excuse.
Starting point is 00:44:26 You can you can miss pod for Emmy stuff. Yeah, yeah, I feel like that. Yeah, I feel like that's a pretty yeah. And honestly, it's like, we're all busy. You know, if you have to miss one, it's it's fine. You know, we get up the hell. I thought you guys were going to go hard on him. I'm going to be the guy that's all my well, let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Yeah, we don't just do do you tee off tee off. Because what the fuck does that even mean in a war? You want to know what the real Emmy is? Our friendship. Oh, my God. See, buddy, is that profound enough? Yeah, I might I might cash it in for a golden statue. Dude, Kyle, you know, you was teeing off on freaking execs like two episodes ago, you know, he's going to just get jumped
Starting point is 00:45:10 by a whole crew of like powerful people. No, they don't they don't watch the show. They don't listen to our show. No, I do love the idea of them winning and Kyle going on stage wearing a suit that like somebody from the band corn would have worn in like 1999. He's got the chain. Well, it's dressed up.
Starting point is 00:45:31 He gets dressed and just like skinny sunglasses and like two like braided pigtails, a suit, a chain. Well, this is Kyle's like first, you know, if they do win and he gets to go on stage, this will be his first foyer into that. So he's going to I think he will dress proper. The issue will be if they go on like a leather satchel, you know, if they go, dude, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He will like try to fit in, I think the first time.
Starting point is 00:46:01 But if they go on a run and they win like, you know, how like modern family or Frasier went on a run, they won like six in a row or eight in a row or whatever. Yeah, by the end, they're like, and he's just going to or Kyle's going to be wearing like a fucking zebra outfit. Oh, he's going to cost them changes. He's going to it'll be it'll be out there. Or it'll just like all steampunk.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I don't like trying to bring that back. Who's the creator of the Gilmore Girls and of Marbles, Mrs. Maisel, who wears like straight up is the way top hats and like dresses with like spider webs coming off them. Oh, yeah. What is what is her name? Paul F. Tompkins. No, no, it's a woman. Paladino. Amy Sherman, Paladino. Her fashion game is so next level legendary.
Starting point is 00:46:53 There's never been a show like everything she creates. I'm I'm like, oh, I couldn't do what that is. No, we're everyone just has like 42 sentences between each other. Dude, I I left an audition for Gilmore Girls like super early on when I first moved to I think it was Gilmore Girls or it was one of her shows. No, maybe it was one of like a show she's trying to get off the ground. But it was there was so much dialogue and you had to speak it so fast. Yeah. And I just have a pretty slow cadence just with how I talk.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And also my brain works really slow. You're a stumbler. So you speak it. By the way, you're speaking very quickly now, but it's different when you have to memorize it for an audition and when you have to memorize it and spit everything out super quickly. I I said I was like stumbling through this audition and then I can tell the casting directors like this isn't working.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And I just go, thank you. I go, yeah. And I stopped halfway through and I go, this one's not for me. Thank you so much. That means she never brought me back in. You know, your son's not for me. This one's not for me. I'm not going to get this. I know I'm not going to get this.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Oh, you got her. You're like, look, here's the deal. And I'm out. You're not going to cast me. I'm not going to really know the line. He just opens a buzz. Dude, I knew the lines. I knew the lines. It's just I know the lines. I'm going to stumble through a little bit.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Let's make this easy on both of us. I'm out of here. I'm out of here. Oh, man, dude, I'm not getting this part. You know, and I know audition was the worst. I wish we could get every audition we've ever done and watch them together. That would be amazing. Yo, oh, yeah, I bet I bet Blake has some real fucking. Real sweet, because Blake is pretty wound up,
Starting point is 00:48:48 because he gets pretty nervous. You ever I'm not good at audition. Have I said this on the pod? My audition for to play the like clown in the movie it. You lose. If you mentioned it, dude, but but I also I see that for you. It's the eyebrows. It is. Yeah, it's they they were like, we want a scary Norwegian. Where's that? I went in there and I was like.
Starting point is 00:49:17 You know, like what like full in? Because I was like, all right, like I'm here, like let's do it. And they were like, yeah, for sure. Try to get it. I was like, yeah. And they were like, OK, and by the way, for people listening, you're just in some room off some street with a lady and a person with a camera and then you transform into this thing for two minutes. And then you go and you go, hey, do you guys validate parking?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Because I'm on the street. OK, don't forget. Oh, right. And you're just back to reality and you're like, what did I just do? Mm hmm. And then you go outside and there's a guy shitting on the hood of your car. You have a ticket. He's using the ticket, your parking ticket to wipe his ass. You step on human shit on the way back to your car.
Starting point is 00:50:04 And you walk past a person who looks exactly like you. Yeah, that's way more famous than you're like, well, they got it. They're going to book it. OK, great. And they're in clown makeup. But the guy who ended up getting it isn't way more famous than you. So is he just a better actor? I would say he's probably like a better actor. Beat you to it.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Oh, man. I mean, he comes. He comes to he comes from the lineage, though. Oh, he's from the lineage. OK. Yeah. So nepotism is why is that what you're saying? Nepotism is why you didn't get that role. I'm saying they got that. They got the skill set in the butt line there, man.
Starting point is 00:50:38 To be like scary, evil clowns. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's the vibe. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

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.
Starting point is 00:52:22 What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh, my God, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this. He's going to come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Go inside each episode of Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story with the creatives, the cast and creator Shonda Rhimes leading the way. Listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast Thursdays on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or anywhere you get your podcasts. I remember for for getting Sarah Marshall,
Starting point is 00:53:54 I was called in to play Bill, not to play, to audition for Bill Hader's role of like the brother who is like married with a kid. And by the way, I was like, right, twenty four years old. I didn't look like I was married with a kid. And for whatever reason, Judd Apatow was in the room. And it was like straight to producers callback and I'm acting opposite Jason Seigels in the room. And I'm like, it was way above
Starting point is 00:54:22 I'm going to come my pay grade at the time. I was like, and so I just started. I'm like, here's my chance to show them I can improv. It went way off off book, like way off book. Right. And they're like, OK. And I went in going like, I'm going to improv a lot, you know, and make it your own. Make it my own. And then they're like, OK, let's just do one to script.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Couldn't couldn't do it to script. Just was like too prepared to improv. And by the way, when you say to improv, have you did you already go? Did you already have like two or three bits that you were like, I'm going to do this and I'm going to take this line and do the improv or like legit improv, like off the cuff, then? Yeah, yeah, I had like some sort of planned improv. He like where like ideas where I'm like, and then if he says this,
Starting point is 00:55:09 I might do something like that. Yeah. So that's not improvising. That's rewriting. Yeah, totally, totally. But then he, yeah, they they did not like that. And then that casting director didn't bring me back for literally a decade, literally until I hired her to that's why I directed a movie that I was producing. And she was like, oh, hey, it's been a while. And I'm like, I know, because you. Yeah, I know, you refused to bring me back for years.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Damn, that's fucking right. I definitely have a casting director who is huge and casts everything that I fuck up every audition for. Just generally, I'm like, I didn't nail that one. No, even even move. And there's movies that I do want and other movies that I'm like, it would just be good to be in this one, but I don't like love it or need to be in it. Right. Every time I'm just like, I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And I even tell her, I'm like, I'm back, even though I know every time. Not good here. I'm sorry. And she's like, no. Well, at least she's calling you back. Yeah, I know. But like, I guess I didn't even realize that that was kind of like a good sign. I just always assume like to be brought back. Yeah. Because there I feel like I'm in the same situation where I've like bombed some shit, but I've done it multiple times.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I don't know if that's just someone being nice to me or. Yeah. Or it's just Isaac muscling me into it. Definitely not. Our manager has so much muscle. That's that must be what it is. Yeah. Shout out to Isaac, dude. Thanks, brother. And Blake, you know what it is?
Starting point is 00:56:41 It's that he goes, look, if I'm going to send Adam in, it's a package deal. You've got to read for this one and Blake for that other one. And they're like, yeah, all right. I mean, we want Adam for this. So it's your janitor number two. Yeah. Stop it. And then they even give me like a second go like, oh, yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Here's a note. Just like you're trying to like let it. Yeah, just kind of let it just kind of just kind of just throw it away. And you're thrown away. You're really making a meal out of every word. Don't worry if we're recording this one or not. This was for literally you're making a meal out of every word. We've ran out of tape like you're really milking it. Hey, so this is you just have to say does do you guys like the soup?
Starting point is 00:57:24 It's not a hole. Do you? Well, do you guys like the soup? Like is it cool if I am from a little bit? Because if you do, if you do cool, if you don't, I have so many other funny soups. I have cold soups. I have cabbage stew. I like how you went from you were like, I get so many soups.
Starting point is 00:57:47 You name one soup and then you're like switching the stews. Hey, just let's keep it the soups. Can we just give it a soup? Split pea soup, chicken noodle soup. Yeah, yeah, I got it. Got it. Got it. Who who wants some chicken noodle soup and chili stews? I also have baked bread. No, not bread. We send soup soup.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Stop you right there. Just name soups. I'm going to stop you right there. Name as many soups as you can. This is how movies and TV's work. So they so they only have a buzz ball. Yeah, they only have a certain amount of food items there and really just soup and one specific soup. They don't have like a ton of other food ready to go for the scene.
Starting point is 00:58:29 So you do have to say soup. OK, right. How are you guys enjoying the pizza? No cream sandwiches. No, I made you soup pizza. OK, thanks for coming in. Now we don't know. Enjoy that human shit on the way back to your car. Oh, it's a cruel, it's a cruel mistress. Is there any other any takebacks, giveaways,
Starting point is 00:58:54 apologies or epic slams, this epi epi. Oh, oh, I know mine. I don't know what you're supposed to. I know my special freaking shout out is none other than to the unofficial sponsor of T.I.I. Buzz balls, baby. Dude, you have to bring that back next week. You have to. And I will like you're so good at holding up the things.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Like for almost as long enough to read it, but not long enough. Yeah, you can actually read it. Yeah, there you kind of go. Yeah, if you tilt your head, you could sort of see that it says buzz ball. He, like, half held up the shirt and then he, like, kind of showed the hat for a moment. It's early and it's hot. Look how sweaty I am. Turn off the goddamn AC.
Starting point is 00:59:44 This ring light is cooking. I feel like chicken tender at Sizzler. Just fucking waiting for somebody to swoop me up. Turn on the AC. I love that I was able to call the fact that you didn't have your AC on. Yeah, because I flexed my power. I care about the environment, environment. Oh, my God. Oh, boy. OK.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I got to go. I would love to give flowers to our fallen comrade, Kyle, for frequency for leaving for a good excuse this time. Yes. For a good excuse. OK, we'll accept it. And if he wins, what are we going to do? Are we going to party? Yeah. I just want to party. I just want to party, Daddy.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I just want to party. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can't. By the way, Kyle, I want you to win. I got to see this dude on stage. Yeah, it's like he'll be up there. Definitely. Definitely not allowed to speak, though, right? I don't know. I would think he's going to get that mic.
Starting point is 01:00:49 But maybe I don't know we should we got to text it. We'll text him. Well, the Emmys aren't tonight. They're Monday. But by the time there's errors or whatever. Yeah, it'll already be out. But yes, we have to. He has to grab the microphone just to be like, what's up?
Starting point is 01:01:05 Yeah, Popo's out. Popo's out. Yeah, it's a scream. Popo's out. Yeah, that'd be great. The Emmys are a absolutely terrifying place, though, because normally, like those award shows, you just look out like when I did the MTV Movie Award.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Oh, yeah, you. But did you perform at the Emmys? I performed at the Emmys a couple of years ago. And you look out and there's like huge stars like sitting right in front. It's like Michael Douglas and shit. And you're just like, oh, my God, fucking. There's like huge stars in the crowd. The MTV Movie Awards is just like you look out
Starting point is 01:01:40 and there's just like Wiz Khalifa. And so you're not you're not intimidated. You're like, is that is that your epic slam? Come on. No, he's just saying that you're very comfortable around Wiz. He's very like Wiz. I'm like, hey, I'm like, there's there's the homie, Wiz Khalifa. Right. But Michael Douglas. You are like, there's the homie, Michael Douglas.
Starting point is 01:01:59 You should be. Dude, I starred opposite Michael Douglas in that I mean, it's animated, but our characters talked the entire time in the green green eggs and ham. Never said a word. We were at a party together, one of those Emmy pre Emmy parties. And he was standing right next to me and close it. Go say hi to Michael Douglas right there. I'm like, yeah, yeah, just look too scary.
Starting point is 01:02:19 He looked too intimidating. I'm like, no, I guarantee you he rocks. Because then didn't you say he's like, I got throat cancer because I was going down too much. Yeah, he was eating too much pussy. Yeah, didn't he say that? I don't quote him. That's a big fat allegedly.
Starting point is 01:02:34 No, I'm pretty sure it's a big allegedly, bro. We're putting him in. And our producers looked us up. I'm serious. I think he did. I think it was. Yes. Mystical Douglas. No, no, no. And that's another episode of This Is Important.
