obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This Is Important, Dersey's Uterus Cups. Whatever you do, don't walk in a room with a dick in your hand. How did somebody not scoop your little fleshlight ass up? And here we go. Do we have a song that would really kick it off? That's kind of your thing, yeah, it's your thing. Yeah, hit us with it. What would it be?

Hit us with it, Blakey. Give it, give it, give it. Wait, can you hear it? No, this is not it. Wait, no, let that ride. What is this? Well, this isn't kicking it off. That's winding it down. Play this at the end. Making me want to fuck you guys. Oh my.

That was random. Okay. Take me to church. Is that from waiting to excel, or I don't know. Damn, that looks like a track. Think it's from a soundtrack, but that track rocks. Adam, do we jump right into talking about the definition in Blake's arms right now? Like, what are we looking at here?

Okay, okay. Okay, sorry, Andre Iguodala. Wow, dude. Okay, my boy, Corey McGuetti. I'll shoot you back a clip, or a little Corey McGuetti over here. How about this one, Merriam Webster, because my man's got definition. Flex for us, dawg, flex for us. Let's see it. Let's see it.

Look at that. Okay. Now, the other one, is the other one way smaller? No, this is my strong one. I have a lot of pit hair. And let's also talk about your pit hair, because you've always had very dense pit hair. Yeah, dude. That's the only place other than my head.

Now, do you think you have the biggest arms in Lemmings now? No, not at all. You still got the cannons, brother. No, Kyle's got them. Wobble, wobble. He's a baby. Yeah, Kyle's got those teacher arms. The bummer about my arms is they're never as shredded looking.

They're just big. They're meat cannons. They're real meat cannons. But I don't got that sweet, sweet, shredded death that you got, baby. And let's see the back. Do you have the goat hoof? Oh, see that? I don't know.

It might be the lighting, but yeah, your triceps do look mad, dookie. Yeah. No, I don't do those kickbacks. Adam's triceps have always had that little lump on the side. I got a power lump. Like you just got a shot or something? It's not a tumor. You're going abroad?

I was a super punch when I got my COVID vaccine the very first time. You what? Yeah. Yeah, I'm one of those believers in COVID. I've had it multiple times. You stupid dumbass. Wow. Yeah, I don't know.

I'm crazy like that. I just doctors and stuff. I sort of believe in them. But I'm a dumbass. It's science. I just listen to science. I just listen to the doctors and I don't know. But it's science.

And then you went blind. Interesting. She was putting it into my arm and she was like, please stop flexing. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm not. Chloe heard me say it. Like she was getting in the shop right next to me. It was like a line of people. And she was like, Jesus Christ, I've never seen you look more proud.

It was like I just won the Emmy. I was like, she's like, relax. No, she's like, honestly, though, like your muscles are spazzing and your veins are like really fucked up. You should go to the hospital. Yeah, you should go to the hospital. Can you see right now? If you're not flexing, you're fucked, dude.

Yeah, you're high as a kite on pre-workout right now. Your blood is so thick, it's like goo. It's not good. Your veins are struggling. I love the idea of her saying that to you and then you kind of walk away stoked. And then like a 12 year old sits down and she's like, hey, can you stop flexing? Hey, stop flexing. And you're like, fuck.

And you realize it's just her line and like little boys. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, she thought I was a child. Wow, look at these muscles. Oh, hey, big boy. That's why she did say, hey, big boy and padded the seat when I sat down. So maybe at the top of your head, there's our big guy. She gave me a lollipop when I left.

So maybe here you go. Would you like a little Pokemon sticker? Yeah. And we're going to put a little Paw Patrol Band-Aid on you. Oh, hey. And you're done. Do you want Marshall or do you want another one? I can't name someone.

It was like, it was like, you know, he's not 10. And I'm like, I know, but he's slow, right? He's brain. Right. I wrote, does Adam divine have in Google and it's filled in the rest of it. Yeah. I'm aware of it. He did ask for a lolly afterwards.

But, uh, okay. A dum-dum. A lollipop. Dude, shout out to dum-dums. I will say that my speaking of, you know, metal stuff, speaking of being a fucking idiot, my fucking balls, dude. Now, now I've gotten more. Okay.

Speaking of balls, should I buzz ball off? Should I buzz off? Dude, buzz ball. I don't know. Last week got kind of crazy. You can treat yourself to another buzz, buzzin', buddy. Wait a minute. Oh, dear God.

And should we talk about Kyle's speech or no? Kyle's Emmy speech? No, we shouldn't talk about his speech. I just reached into the buzz box and I pulled out something I did not want to pull out. Are they cold this week? They're not cold. They're still very hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. You still didn't put them in the, in the fridge.

You still do. Hot, hot, hot. Oh God. It's one of my least favorite things. It's a, a chili mango. Yeah. It's a spicy brew. Yeah.

It's a spicy brew. I'm not a big mango fan. Feel free to reach in again. We're not pressuring you to, to have the chili mango. Or are we? But I will say this, because if you drink all the, all the good ones at first, then you're going to be stuck with just all the bad ones and you're not going to want to throw them away. Yeah.

But then you can give them to your children. Is this better? That's true. Is this better? The chalk teas. No, that is not, that is not better. Should I have had a milk product sitting in the heat this long? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Absolutely. That's not better. Go chili mango. 100%. Chocolate? Is that supposed to be like a Kahlua, like mudslide? It must be. It must be.

I think it's the, um, The cause of diarrhea. But anyways. Okay. I'm going to chili mango it and then a divine please. Download us about your balls while I slurp this. Oh, okay. Yes.

Uh, I snapchatted that memory. I was like, what were we talking about? Yeah. Your testicles. What was I about to say? Oh yeah. My nuts. Just go to your default thoughts.

Oh yeah. The nuts. But because it's, you know how for like well over a month now it feels like someone has kicked me in the nuts just a few minutes ago. Which has got to be a terrible feeling. It's the worst. I can't, uh, I can't do anything. I'm not even having sex.

Chloe's super bummed at me. Cause she loves getting it. I bet. I bet. I wish you were like- She, as he looks over to make sure she is super bummed. Yeah. You are bummed?

She's like- I wish you were like, and weirdly she seems like oddly satisfied still somehow. Yeah. She's really cool. Yes. I don't know why she said she's floating through every room. She's dealing with it well. Yeah.

No, so I have to, I have to have a heat pad on my balls at all time. And I'm like working a lot right now on, on Gemstone. And what happened, what happened to your, to yourself? So like six months ago when I was doing the show in Berlin, I was like, it's, it's bumper in Berlin. It's the, it's a spinoff show about my character from The Pitch Perfect Movies. Legend, mate. So I'm like singing and dancing.

I'm a song and dance man. Once again, I'm jiggling all over. And I like did my classic kick my foot up, do the foot swipe manoeuvre that I do. We know it well. We know it well. I know, I know you guys do. Yeah. And point the toe.

Points. And I just, my body went joints. I'm a man. Like in my lower, like top dick region, which we've talked about this. Yeah. I felt it. Top. And I, and they, they did an ultrasound.

There is a tear there. And I'm pregnant. Don't, don't use it a lot. Twins. But I kind of didn't stop working out, you know, because I'm a fucking idiot. And, and I had to keep doing the show. And I still worked out every day trying not to do things that would hurt me, but still kind of hurting myself.

And it felt better. That was like six months ago. And then a month or like a little over a month ago, I re-hurt myself working out, thinking I'm fully good. What movement were you doing? Yeah. I was doing deadlifts. Go.

Okay. And, and it just, and it just fucking. And it will pass me and not, and now I'm just fucked. So I go to a doctor. They do another ultrasound, which was hilarious, by the way. It was like a 35 year old girl, like a woman who's like our age is putting hot goo on my balls. Just me and her in this room.

It's super awkward. Hot goo on my balls. And rubbing the little wand on it. And then just asking me like, does that feel good about my career? She was a big workaholic fan. Does that feel good? She liked modern family a lot. So that was super weird.

Right. Nucky grandma. And then, and then now there's evidently fluid in my right testicle. So they have to do something in the testicle. Yeah. What? Yeah, I don't know. I'm sorry to laugh.

Dude, what? Wait, what? I don't know. But the internet says that shouldn't be too painful, but I am in a lot of pain. So. What internet? Like Reddit? Like, what are you, where are you looking?

Are you looking in your comment section of Instagram? So now I have to go to a urologist and they couldn't get me into a urologist for another week. So I have to like live this life for a whole other week, which is so cool. I think, uh, I think a homey of mine in high school had this same thing happen. He always thought he was pulling his groin all the time and then he got it checked out and found out he had fluid. Is that a her? No, it's, I don't know if he had his ball removed.

What? I can't remember if he had his ball, ball removed, but he definitely had to have a surgery where they went in there and did something. Yeah, they said it could be, it could be surgery. I'll piss now. I don't know. Let me, let me see it. I'll see if it's the same.

Okay. You want to see it? No, no. You want to see it? On our, on our own time. You want to see it? That was, that was decades ago, Anders. We might have advanced in medical surgery by now.

Either way, I got to see it. Yeah, come on. Nope, not today. Let us take a look at it. And so you've just been sitting around with a heat pad on it, huh? On your jock. Uh, yeah, it's, it actually feels all right right now, but yeah, sometimes usually later on in the day, like by the end of the day, I'm laying there and I have to have a heat

pad on it and we'll FaceTime later. It, uh, it really sucks. Because like more fluid gets down there by the end of the day. Is it kind of like when you weigh yourself in the morning, there's no fluid? I have no idea. I have no idea. You're going to have, you got to learn the science of your body, dude. I should probably take a little science.

Because as soon as I start to web MD it, I'm like, oh, my nut is going to twist itself in a knot and fall off like a balloon animal. That's what it said on web MD. It told me to put a chip clip on the tip of my nut sack and just kind of see what happens. Toast, Tito's chip clip. Does your balls feel better in the morning at night? Uh, like when is it the most filled with fluid? If you had to say it, I feel like there's no rhyme or reason to it.

Sometimes I'm like, sometimes it'll hurt so fucking bad. Baby, there ain't no rhyme or reason to my dick, baby. You're going to love this. And sometimes it'll feel great. And then I'm like, oh, it feels like I was just kicked in the nuts. You guys stop fair gunning your balls. With like a pointy toe chew. It feels better.

It really sucks. So remember the video we watched in the workaholcks riders room of like a guy's nut sack getting boxed through a hole. We definitely talked about this. We could talk about it again. Yeah, please. I love. That's what it feels like.

Speed bagging is nuts. Do you think that would help or make it worse? I bet it wouldn't. Just right now, just thinking about that. I don't think it would help. But I'm willing to give it a shot for TII Nation. By the way, any movie where somebody speeds bag nuts is my favorite movie. I think there's a just a handful.

I know, but they're like a handful. We got a speed bag. Wait, are we talking about motion pictures or? Yeah. And they're talking about. Not porn. Not internet. Not pornographic films.

No, legit movies where somebody's doing. I think there's I think it's hot shots part do maybe. Wait, you mean an actual nut sack or a just a speed? Or like somebody's pants? No, no, no, no. Were there speed back? We did it in workaholcks. We literally did it in workaholics.

We're like, Ders has numbing spray. Yes, that is right. Because I think we saw it on. And then somebody's phone went off. Yeah. Didn't you hit it and somebody's phone went on set and we were like, kind of perfect. Hey, and we kept it.

We're like. And then and then we added it in post. Wait, or did we wrote it in? I think we wrote it. Yes, I think we wrote it. Is that right? Yes, I think so. Oh, OK.

Yeah, because we're like you. It has to ding when we hit it. And we're like, why would that ever happen? And we're like, what if somebody's phone went off? Right. Right when you hit it. And then so like we go, whoa, did your phone go off? I remember loving that did.

And then we like the three of us lost our minds when that happened like on the day like these three fucking 80 hits were like, oh, yeah. And you know, it didn't go down in history, but we're still talking about it. Man, hey, hey, funny show. They should do a movie. We're writing a buzz ball to that, man.

This one goes out to you. Way to show us not than the buzz ball. Thank you. It's unbelievable. He's just showing us like the nutrition information, the certain generals warning about buzz balls. Thanks, man. Yeah.

Does it cause cancer? I don't know what. Well, hey, there are some cool facts about buzz balls company that I'd love to let you know. Oh, please. I think we've got time for none. It's a Texas company. And it's also it's women owned.

It says on the box it's women owned, which is I don't know if I like that. Buzz balls. What? We got some. So women are moving into the ball sphere. Oh, and you don't like that? I guess it's OK.

Everything's changing. OK, thank you. Go off queen. OK, here we go. I'm going to buzz it up. Let's let it is buzz time. Dersey's uterus. OK, here it is.

Up, up. Is this your? Oh my god. Slamming it. Yeah. Loves it. I don't like that. I don't like the chili.

So you don't you don't like a woman owns company? Are you having a lot? Aye, aye, aye. Is that what you're saying? So you're saying you don't like woman owned companies. And that's and that's been well documented now. No, I do. I just don't.

Allegedly. I don't think the chili mango is my flit. Flavor. Dude. Allegedly. Dude, puke right now. I dare you. Yeah.

No, it's done. Mama. We went past it. We went past it and we're back. I think you got to chase it with the chocolate one. As I sweat out of my face. Is it still hot in LA? Like it's not even from my forehead.

It's sweating out of like my under eyes at that point. Yeah. I might have a problem. And that is that from the chili mango or that's because it's still 111 degrees? A little bit of both. I love that you guys are in the same city. Not that far from each other, a little distance,

but not too far. Ders is wearing his currently wearing a sweater. Blake is sweating. It's called a sweatshirt. Wearing a sweatshirt. Blake is sweating, wearing a tank top. And he doesn't have his AC on still, right? Yeah.

A week later. Flex your power. Flex your power. OK. Are you going to turn it on today? I will after nine o'clock after or actually now it's 10 o'clock. Newsom says we can't turn it off till after 10. After 10 AM.

No, PM, peak hours, peak hours. That doesn't make sense to me because it cools off at night. So just open your windows. Yeah, night is when you can. Exactly. During the day is when you need the AC. Exactly, peak hours. And you're not allowed to run your AC during peak hours.

But the peak hours, if everybody's allowed to turn it on at the same time later, then that becomes a peak hour. It's exactly what you're saying. At that point, it's cool. So really what he's saying is you're not allowed to run your fucking shit. OK. OK. But yeah, but also she's not the fucking boss.

So you do just fucking fire up that AC. Just put it on downstairs to Newsom. Don't let him back burn your life. I pray you just put it on downstairs where you're at. Don't do the whole house. I have it on this room only. OK. Yeah, that's the way to do it.

I don't have what would you call that central heating? How do you do like room by room? It's got like, I don't know. It's all or nothing. Nothing. OK. Yeah, in LA, I have upstairs and downstairs units. Yeah, I should have that.

I have like a splitter, a splitter for like four different sections of the crib. You got to get yourself a splitter, dog. Right. I do. I think I didn't send you my guy. You did. Yeah. You did.

So we didn't give you a splitter? So did you get a splitter? Shout out to Daniel, the AC dude. Well, HVAC, man. HVAC rocks and it needs to be done and we're watching. You didn't pay for AC, did you, Blake? Right. I was a little late.

I was a little late. And we're almost through it and we're going to get through it. Are you a climate warrior? It's going to be OK. Are you a climate warrior? Is that what's happening? No, no. Blake is just cheap.

He's not a climate warrior. He's just a cheap buck. I just want to party. He's a party warrior. 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 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. Between April 1971 and September 1972,

six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. 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 fan. 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. I remember you guys being so like legitimately mad at me

I'm going to fight back. Go ahead, go off. When we lived together, everyone was legit. And it wasn't just you. It was also Kyle and Adam and Mealy, our other roommates. They all had work. And we did have a one side of the house, other side of the house situation at the workaholic side.

You had a splitter? We had a splitter. And I just cooled the side that was my bedroom. And it was, I'm home, I didn't have a job. Just say the words. And it was 112 degrees. He's improv-ing. It was 112 degrees.

I'm home alone. You're auditioned. I was like, I can't fucking stand this. So I turned the AC on just on my side of the house. And they were furious. So mad at me. Bro, because these guys are from the, listen, these guys are from the Bay.

Okay, say it again. Where you don't, you don't need AC up there, right? You guys didn't grow up with AC. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The Bay area gets extremely fucking hot. For like two hours of the day. Well, not San Francisco is climate cool, but we are outside of the city in like the suburbs.

It gets so motherfucking hot. Oh, so now you're admitting it. So now you're admitting it. So you're not from the Bay. Okay, so we finally caught you. Because you guys- He's like, I'm actually from Reno. You guys, for years, I was like,

where are you guys from before I visited their home? They were like, yeah, Oakland basically. Yeah, Oakland. And I'm like, oh shit, Oakland, okay. Bakersfield, Bakersfield counts. Oakland. And then I went and visited, and I'm like, dude, this is almost identical

to my suburban upbringing in Omaha, Nebraska. I'm like- Minus the sweltering heat. Dude, I'm a Bay area inclusionist. I'll say San Jose is the Bay, Sacramento is the Bay. I'll go all the way to San Diego is the Bay area. But okay. World wide Bay.

World wide Bay, okay. But you didn't say the Bay. You would say- You guys would say Oakland. And I'm like, oh, you guys are from Oakland. And then I get there and I'm like, this is Concord, California. This isn't Oakland at all.

I'm like, okay, well where's Oakland? Let's go there. Maybe we go out there tonight. And you guys are like, oh, that is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, we're going to go to a bar with cowboy boots stapled to the ceiling. Clayton, shout out Clayton. Dude, okay.

You're like, this is where Tom Hanks grew up? The way I have told people where I'm from has evolved. But when you're in Los Angeles and you're describing- You mean the truth as surface? The truth. Come on, dude. Ders, you probably say I'm from Chicago. I don't.

And you know that about me. You probably used to. Never did. Okay, fine. Ders, and here's your gold, here's your sign. I'm just saying, because I don't, I'm not from there. Okay, so if you go, hey, I'm from, there's, hey, where are you from?

Evanston, and people are like, Evanston, England? Where the fuck is Evanston? Nobody's ever heard of that. You say Illinois. You say Illinois. And by the way, this is like a litmus test for somebody who actually wants to know where I'm from or not. If I go, I'm from Evanston, Illinois.

No one actually wants to know. Hey, Ders, I did. That's crazy. Hey, I did. I'm saying if you're not trying to have a whole fucking geography lesson, there's, like, you give people the basic idea. But the easy follow-up is, where's that? And I go, it's just outside Chicago, Illinois.

And they go, oh, okay, cool. Or they know Northwestern. Yes, I've evolved towards that. Or they're huge Jeremy Piffin fans, guys. You act like this shit doesn't happen. They're huge, huge fans of the Piff. I've evolved towards that. Now I tell people, if they say, hey, where are you from?

I say, oh, like Bay Area, East Bay, Concord, California. Just say Concord, where Tom Hanks is not from. And then say Concord, New Hampshire. There's more than one Concord. I know. And then you just go, no, actually California. From the Bay. If you didn't become successful and famous to where people actually know the truth,

you would have never, you would have never evolved. It's the fact that someone for sure called you out. Someone was like, where are you from? And you're like Oakland. And he's like, no, you're from Concord, dude. And you're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish Kyle was here.

Freaking sea. I feel like he can speak on this. That makes one of us. But you know what? Yeah, part of it was, yes, I need to represent specifically Concord, put Concord more on the map. Like, because it is important to me. This is important?

This is important? But like. By the way, I'm out here raising awareness. I'm already repping it. I see you in your sweater, you motherfucker. Flex your power, you son of a bitch. You need to turn that fucking shit off because I'm sweating. You need to sweat.

It's 112 degrees. All I'm doing it. I'm sweating through my tank top. Trash talk. I'll trash talk. Represent. Yeah, this is. Hold it up in a more harder way to read there.

Yeah. Okay, cool. Great guy. There you go. Yeah, you are sweating so bad. Bro, the mango chili buzzball is fucking with me. Hit in. What is the temperature right now currently where you're at?

I mean, it has to. Can you turn on the AC and just see what it reads inside your home? 89 out here. I'm going to be honest. I pulled the AC unit off the wall. It's in Cape. We're at least that 90. It's 90.

It's 90 in LA where you're at. Okay. It's one of the cooler days. Oh, in Evanston, Illinois, it's 80 degrees. How is it in Concord, New Hampshire? Well, I have my shit set up. You look at your own damn phone. Can you check Concord, New Hampshire?

77 in Madison. I bet it's a beautiful day. Okay. And this is weather talk. A new low. And join us on this is important. A new weather talk. 64 in Vancouver.

That shit's important. A new segment here on this is important. If you thought luggage, if you liked luggage talk, and if you couldn't get enough of tech talk. If you thought pickleball was an exciting sport, welcome to weather talk. Oh, it's raining in Mobile. Shout out to Mobile.

Mobile, Alabama. I know this is like three weeks away, but if it's still raining and we see you and we're sorry, it's raining out there. By the way, when I was in Mobile, they go, did you know that this is the rainiest place in the United States over Seattle? And guys, it blew my mind and I said,

I got to share that on the pot. Shut up. You're like, shut up. I have to get on the pod. That shit's important. I have to get on the pod five months later. And shut up. I got to keep it a honey.

Shut up. Five to six months later, I have to get on the pod and tell my boys about this. I ran right off a dolphin. I do remember what I wanted to say, though, and half of the reason why I don't turn my shit. Look how close he is to the camera right now. Back the fuck up, man.

I don't need all that. I do. I do. Look, I got to get up on this mic. The weather is only going to get more disastrous. You got a climate warrior. I am preparing my family. OK, Leonardo DiCaprio.

I am preparing my family for not only blackouts of electricity. You got it, but even hotter weather. Hey, are you preparing them by buying a generator for your home? Do you drive a Prius? No, because if you get a generator, it's all going away. It's doomsday. We're doomsday prepping right now.

See, no, no, no. It's your frugality that you're dealing with. It's not. It's not. You're not a doomsday prepper. No. All this is a facade. You'd rather say you're a doomsday prepper

than saying you're a little shit. Daddy prepped us for doomsday. We got a box of past bottles. If you're cold, drink one of these. You'll sweat out the bottom of your eyes. Drink a buzz ball at a warm, you'll ride up. If you're cold, drink one. If you're hot, drink one.

No matter the temp, if we get drunk enough, we won't feel it. Oh, my God. I like how you're like, look, we got to prepare for this. Or just like we're problem solving. We're figuring out ways like, yeah, get that test of power wall put in the crab, man. I'm going to get a generator for for my house, I think. I think I have because they're saying like these

that we're going to start getting like rolling blackouts. Not for me. And I bet it's going to be a normal thing in LA now. Oh, yeah. And imagine you have like Ders has a Tesla. You're like, suddenly you like can't drive your fucking car. Exactly. You can't go anywhere.

I'll find a way. It's quite a generator. It's 22 in there. Get the generator. Yeah. That's what you got to do. Get the Jenny. I don't know.

Jenny. What do you mean? I just think I just think with every solution we're creating other problems. Okay. So but if you get a generator, then you can generate your enough electricity to power your home for weeks and weeks. You get the solar power roof.

Okay. So we're but we're speaking about just us. I'm talking globally. I just think there's we need a solution, a global solution. Oh, so you want to control everyone? Is that what you want to do? You want to tell everyone what to do? I don't want to control everyone.

Lead by example. Hey, but Blake, you're not in charge though. You're only in charge of your. But I can only do what I do. Climate warrior. But how do you have to lead by example, don't you? That's what I just said. So your leading by example is just sitting in the heat

in the dark with your family. Is sitting in the heat? Yes. Like maybe a Native American would do. I want to do it the old school way. I want to do it the old school way. No electricity. Interesting.

Other than my real life. Your infant baby is just boiling hot because it's 115 degrees. No, dude. Okay. Okay. We keep the baby room cool, dude. I turn. Oh, so you do have a splitter.

Interesting. No, there's it's come on, man. I gotta assist them. No, there's a bunch of buzz balls under the crib. There's a lot of holes in your story. Now you're pulling back the facade. If you want to see the undertaker talk, come on, man. But look, man, I'm playing a character right now.

A little bit. Not really. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. I know. Are you spritzing your shirt? Below camera with water. Man, it is really hot here.

It's a bit, guys. Okay. It is really hot. Yeah. Your nine-year-old daughter is underneath the table, spritzing you. I feel like at this point, I'm now it's a flop sweat out of anxiety because I'm being backed into a corner.

By the way, I got diagnosed recently. With what? Anxiety? No. My therapist says I have ADD. Sure. Sure. This is like everybody does.

You guys are just like, sure. That was like a huge revelation. Why do people not know what they have? Also, I need to shave my head. Just shave the back of your neck so it's a buzz. So this is new. You're going to a therapist like Tony Soprano? Wait, did Tony have ADD?

No, Tony goes to a therapist. I thought you said, wait, did Tony go to a therapist? Since it did. No, went to a therapist, dude. So you're going. How often do you go to this therapist? This is nice. Every Monday.

Really? Every week. Yeah. I mean, what? Dude, this isn't fucking. I know. Stop. Yeah.

Yeah. I know you every week. I know you have never, but. No, I've never. I've never. I go individual, couple, you name it. I'll do it. But this is the first time I've been told I have ADD.

Great. Rando, I'll just crash somebody else's. I'll just go talk to a homeless man and be like, tell me what's wrong with me, brother. A therapist can diagnose you. Can I go to a therapist? How easy is it? Can I go and then have them?

Betterhelp.com. Walk into the room with your dick in your hand. Bro, you can talk to your buzz ball and they will tell you. Have them diagnose my whole situation. If you talk to your buzz ball. Be like, hey, my right nut hurts all the time. You have ADD. Is it ADD or ball cancer?

Good boy. I wish Kyle was here to help me out. Goddamn. This is the one episode I just really need Kyle here for me. I like Kyle. We're talking better help, better help therapy. It's not better help therapy, but gosh darn if it doesn't work. Well, this is great, Blake.

I like this. How long have you been doing this? Dude, I've been going to therapy for a decade, at least. Even when we were doing work all because you're going once a week? Started, actually. Yeah, that's what broke me, dude. I had to talk about you guys, son of a bitch. Oh boy.

Oh wow, that's incredible. Should I start doing that? I don't know. I've gone to therapy. You've got to go just to see what it's all about. Well, I'm re-watching Sopranos right now, and I'm like, I'm Tom Claude. I'm like, this looks kind of fun.

I kind of want to go in this the way. Dude, it's a blast. Yeah, I feel like Adam, you would just like. Start entertaining the therapist? I don't know. Part of me thinks maybe you go twice a month and then save that money and then use AC. Adam, I often like, Adam, that's just, I just feel like.

I can't move in my house. I'm just so clammy. I just feel like. I'm just so hot all the time. Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet. I feel like I'm so hot all the time. As your therapist, I don't want to tell you how to spend your money, but. But Adam, what I have always loved about you or what at least I like,

I'm just like stoked for you. It's like, you do have the ability to just be like, let shit roll off your back. Like, you're stoked on life all the time. Like it always feels like you, you find a way to positive spin. But Blake, let's be honest. It rolls off his back, but then all that stuff spills up in his butt cheeks. Yeah. And that's why your balls are about to explode.

He has so much anxiety in the butt cheeks. All the tension has seeped into my asshole and then through the asshole into my testicles. Maybe that's the liquid that's in my right nut. Adam, maybe you do need to just like fucking jab it and do a pressure release. I don't know. But I will say that, like I admire the way, like I, that's what I get from your friendship is like, sometimes you take me back to reality where it's like, shit is not that as bad as you build up in your mind.

No, no, you know, it never really is for the most part. Unless someone's dying, it usually isn't. And then they die. And it's like, okay. Yeah. And they're like, onto the next one. My favorite Jay-Z song. And then it's a swiss beats versus.

You play that Jay-Z song and you say boomer. They're dead. On to the next one. I got a melee when you get it. Dude. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

It's, I think you do know. He just told you. Yes. If you need to talk about your shit, maybe, maybe that's like the, the second or third chapter of your life where you get introspective and you start to like really figure out like what, what the fuck's been going on. I don't know. Your life is such a hurricane of fucking looking.

You're so busy and all that shit. And maybe you want to touch down and think about it. Uh, yeah, maybe, maybe. Yeah. I could see, I could see doing it. I'm not not opposed to it or anything. I've just always been like, I just did. I haven't felt like I needed it.

But, but during or my dad was sick. Yeah. Dude. And there's just like a lot of things stacking up. I was like, oh, maybe I do need to talk to someone. Yeah. And then I just didn't. But, uh, yeah.

And your butt got bigger. My anus grew two sizes. I couldn't fit into a suit this past week. Here's your sign. But yeah. No, I think, I think it's cool. I don't think it's bad at all. I was just, no, I don't think you, I'm not saying that you guys think it's bad.

It's just like, I don't know. It's just as, as we get older and then like real life shit is just always on the horizon now. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think it's helpful when you become a parent, it's helpful to understand more about yourself. And so then you know how to like what you would do to like raise your kids differently than you were raised or like when you feel certain impulses, you just know when to stop. Yeah.

Blame your parents. Yeah. You're like, uh, so my dad used to hit me with a belt. Is that good or not? Dude, I remember I told my therapist, I was like, do all we're going to do is like shit on my parents. I don't want to do it anymore. Like, like this is stupid. Like I don't blame them because I love my mom and dad.

I think they freaking rock. I think they did the best they could. But like they're like, but there is, they're like, it's not about shitting on them. It's just like that was the way you were, they programmed you and they were probably programmed a certain way. And all therapy does is like understand how you're programmed, maybe reprogramming, whatever. Or do you have a relationship like Tony Soprano had with his? The most I know about is Tony Soprano talking to his therapist.

I think it's exactly like that for everybody. It's exactly like you kind of want to fuck. At one point you've kissed. Oh my God. Oh my God. Be quiet. 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 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. 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 fan.

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. No, I haven't had a therapist that I've been with forever. I like, I wish I could say like, yo man, I got, I got the guy or whatever. I've got a decade worth of work with this person and they've just been absolutely perfect for me. But I don't know, sometimes it, it, it could just be like a one off where it's just somebody listening to you and like asking you questions that other people don't ask you. Right. Yeah. Well, I get it. It's especially talking to like, I'll ask you. Give me a call. I'm trying to talk to you, Durs.

Dude, I would love being a therapist. Durs would be actually a good therapist because he would just go right to your core every fucking time. Yeah, dude. There's a bit of that. There's a bit of that. Like it might feel cold blooded, but sometimes they just got to like, just put the mirror in your face. They have the soundboard and they just keep hitting it. They keep going, oh yeah, the bitch. You're like, okay. Yep. I guess I was being a bitch. I got to keep it a hundred. I got to keep it a hundred.

I would love to be a therapist and be like, yeah, I just don't do that. Yeah, just definitely. I feel like that's how I would be a therapist too. I'd be like, well, just don't overeat then if that's your problem. Just stop doing that. It's been 10 minutes. You can go. Okay. So then as your patient, when I do do that, then all of a sudden I'm like, fuck, why am I such a fuck up, dude? Like my therapist told me, all you have to do is not do that. Why did I do that? Well, it's not doing it 80% of the time. You know what I mean?

Yeah. It's a lot of forgiving yourself. You can do cocaine just not all the time, dude. You can do hard drugs just not all the time. You're a great therapist, Adam. Yeah. You're a great therapist. If you cannot do that stuff 80% of the time, you're probably in pretty good shape. You're doing good. Welcome to Adam's couch, where Adam tells you just don't do that 80% of the time.

Don't do it like 85% of the time. We're taking your calls live now. Hey, whatever you do, don't walk in a room with a dick in your hand. Just don't. I've got an eating disorder. I can't help it. What do I do? But do you eat too much or you don't eat it all? I eat too much and then I go and I purge. What do I do? I eat because I'm unhoppy.

Okay. Well, you're going to want fake teeth because I bet your teeth are gross as fuck. I bet they're like brown. And then also mouthwash for sure. You're going to want that. And then also just don't eat that much. Just don't eat that much. 80% of the time. I would say 80% of the time.

I was just waiting for the thing we talked about. I'm like, oh, and so your bit is? Snapchat. Nope. No, no, no, no. I would say like maybe five days a week, don't eat a ton. And then on the weekend, you can just kind of do whatever you want. Thank you, God.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, God. Yeah. On the weekend, you can do cocaine, go to orgies and eat at buffets. I feel like we just found out what Blake was going for. I just I was going to orgies and buffets.

Well, maybe you don't do that 80% of the time. Yeah. It's just 80% of the time. You just don't do that. And then you just pick one day to go to orgies and eat at buffets. I wish my shit was that exciting. I just have ADD. Yeah. Just like can't concentrate.

I just can't get my calendar right. I mean, did you did you get on pills for that? Well, that's the thing is. Oh, can I can I get your addy? Can you hook me up? I wouldn't mind an Adderall plug. Give me a hell, yeah. I feel like I said this on the pod in college.

They were like, why are you so stupid? And I was like, I don't know. And then they put me on something, Ritalin or whatever the other ones are. And I like shot through the roof. Yeah. And was like, this is crazy. And then I just gave him a way to like some dudes. Do you think you were misdiagnosed?

Like you don't have Mr. That's Mr. Diagnosed. Well, isn't it right if you have ADD, Adderall like levels you out, right? Yeah, exactly. It makes you like chill and you're able to just concentrate and like, you know, how a normal person. But if you don't because. That was if you're just if you're just stupid, it turns out to be cocaine.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which is why I know that's what my therapist said. She was like, yo, a like you like cocaine, don't you? And I'm like, no, actually, I don't at all. And she was like, oh, forget it then because I was just going to hang out. She had a tray of it.

Oh, no, no, no. You like cocaine, don't you? I'm going to I would like to make out with you. She's like, this is a zoom. This is a zoom. You're a fucking bummer. You are my mom now. Dude, I don't know.

I don't know. So to answer your question, there's I did not get any medication because one of my I don't one of my main fucking hangups. And I know this is like something that everybody's trying to dispel nowadays. Is there air conditioning? I don't I don't want to use air conditioning and I don't want to take a medication that will change who I am because I part of me really thinks like the reason I'm humorous or who I am is because my my brain is chemically

in balance. Can I tell you something? No, you're not funny. I know what you mean. I know what you mean because it's like, OK, so if I change like a fundamental thing about me, which makes that I mean for almost 40 years. But then you'll be just an unfunny good person. So what's the trade off?

You're like, yeah, but that would you'll be like a nice truck driver. No, no, no, but a different person. You'll just be a truck driver with zero jokes. Well, yeah. Yes. So what is that? The A and B. Is that why you can't like you're such a bad driver? Is that like part of it?

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm not a bad driver. Well, maybe. Well, no, yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. You are like direction. Yeah, like direction. That's part of driving.

Yes. I mean, you're not hitting stuff all the time. You're not like that. We know how to drive a car. But like you do when we're all going to do with the same place, which happens. It used to happen all the time when we were on work. Alex, you'd all be like, OK, we're all going to take our cars and we'll meet there.

And then it would be like Ders and I are there. And then 15, 20 minutes later, you'd pull up and you're like, how'd you guys get here? And we're like, we just drove straight here. Yeah. And you and you would just take like a loop to her out. Well, that's because I that's also because I kind of drive like a grandma. What'd you do?

But I was waiting for it. I drive very slow in the slow lane. I'm just not in a rush to place. I would love passing you on the freeway on the way to work. I'd be like, well, there goes Blake. And I'm just like, say yes. But also, dude, you want to know why there? Where the hell?

Remember, we all left one house. I think is why we were actually house hunting for Hamlin. All five of us. For the Warholics House. Yes, Adam, Haley, me, you and Kyle. We all took separate cars to go look at a house somewhere. Like I think it might have been Culver City. And you're worried about air conditioning with the environment.

Go ahead. This was this was a while back. This is before. Yeah. Global warming. This was before he cared before he became a climate warrior. Yeah. Yeah.

But now we're at the warming. You know, now we're at the brink. Now we're at the brink of destruction because this is where because of you. Go ahead. But I got a speeding ticket because I hit the gas because we were going to be late to the to the showing. So you got a speeding ticket one time and now you can drive the speed limit. Yeah, dude, if it fucking fucking got me, dude, cops mapped my hand and I said, yes, sir.

Yeah. Yeah, dude. Sorry. Sorry about it. Well, that's cool. That's cool that you're, I mean, I wonder if I am 80D. I do. I probably would have 80D.

Well, I know like a lot. That's the thing is like also. But I don't because the because Adderall doesn't affect me in the in a positive in like the normal way. I love it in the fact that it just gives me a ton of energy. And I'm like, I don't think you can say I don't have this because this drug doesn't affect me that way. Okay, okay, doctor.

There's an indicator. Dr. Busball. Dr. Rosarx. I don't even know, man. Because I know that a lot of people will be like, oh, we all have ADD or like, oh, all of a sudden every everybody is being diagnosed with these things that we never used to have. Right. But like, I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, we're all doing like self. What is Analyzation? What's the word? Analyzing, self analyzing. We're looking. Analyzation. Sure, we'll take it.

We're looking, we're looking in our anuses more than anybody. I was talking to my parents and I was like, because one of our kids is just wilding out now that like school started transition, whatever it's wild. And I was like, you know, dad ever like talk about like when I was wilding out and she was like, no, we never really talked about parenting. And I was like, sick. Like what a different era. Dude, we're from a, we're like just on the fucking crack of like the generation of parenting that

did not really like go in and analyze anything ever. Yeah. It was just like, dude, just go play. Just go play. I feel like we are the millennials are the last generation that their parents really didn't. I'm Gen X. And it wasn't that they didn't care. I think our parents all loved us.

Yeah. They just didn't know. They just didn't know. Like my parents never talked about how to raise me. They were just like, yeah, go play in the alleyway. Right. Yeah. Go ride your bike somewhere and just get out of my hair for a few hours.

Right. Yeah. I was like, main concern. Don't die. Don't get kidnapped because your ass is on and popping even then. Right. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and you're gonna come back a strong boy. Adam was so, Adam, the fact that you weren't kidnapped is insane.

It is. Dude, it's crazy. A little, a little boy with that bubble butt. With that fucking just sticking out, just wiggling and waggling. How does somebody not lick in a lolly? Just slurping down a bomb pop. Just deepfrogging a bomb pop. How did somebody not scoop your little fleshlight ass up?

I don't know, dude. It's fucking absurd. It is absurd. God damn, you're lucky, man. You're unlucky. Honestly, I don't know. I mean, I was, I don't think I was that cute of a kid. Honestly, I think, I think I looked like a little hedgehog.

You know, I had like a mullet. I had some sidesteps. I feel, I feel, I wasn't. That was regional. That's a regional for you. It was, it was that ass that, that they, they would have had a zero in on that. You know. Mouth watering.

I was wearing big Tasmanian devil shirts and, you know, I might have covered it. You're not describing my dream woman. Can you imagine? Big ass, tass shirt. Hey, baby. Let's hit the club, baby. The way Adam's booty looked in those Zubas pants. Can you imagine?

Let's just say I filled out the MC Hammer pants. The only guy that can fill out a parachute pants. Yeah, bitch. Should we do take backs and lookalikes while, while we're still feeling good? Not, not lookalikes. Dead ringers. Dead ringers in honor of Kyle, who gave the best Emmy speech a couple weeks ago.

That was good. We think we're not sure. We don't know. Secret. See her. Didn't watch it. No, not a fan. Didn't watch it.

Blake, did you want to just as this is prescient, prescient, do you want to say some words about Queen Elizabeth Blake? Oh, yeah, I like a couple of weeks later. Honestly, I think this, the whole Queen Elizabeth thing was so like, thing, hot like her life or what do you mean? Her whole, her whole angle, her whole 96 years of life or what? I think it was just like very eye opening to the way everything is moving as a society. When, when Queen Elizabeth died, like I think like news networks was like, oh yeah,

this is going to be a hot news day because we're going to really honor her and all this shit. And it's going to just be like, dude, she's 96. We've been building up to this. But then like social media was just a dunking on her so hard, dude. Yeah, they really were that poor woman. Like what, what'd they say? I don't, I didn't see it.

Oh dude, it's just like fucking wrecking her. You put that in. Yeah, dude, she's just beginning ran through on all social media. Like everything is just like. What's one example? I mean, I know you got to dig back two weeks. When I said, when I said like dunking, it was literally like they had like a photoshopped like Charles head on like, um, like DeAndre Jordan dunking on that one dude and turning

that into Queen Elizabeth. So it's like just like nuts on her head. Like. So literally, literally dunking. Yes. They were literally dunking on her. I saw the one which made me giggle was, uh, where it's the undertaker and it was. She rise.

He rises up. Yeah. It was, uh, when Megan Margel, uh, Markel visits Queen Elizabeth at the viewing and then she just like snatches her neck and comes back alive. Dude, she's so weird. And I don't even get what that means because I don't know anything about these people, but I laughed at it. I think she must not like, uh, that girl from suits.

But by the end, I think it was like, well, I don't know. It gets all into like, it was like the interracial marriage of it. And then like the Queen evidently wasn't hyped on it. So like everybody's like, fuck her. Her words. I'm just not hyped on this interracial. She's not. I'm not hyped on this matrimony.

I'll die before I see. My boy in an interracial marriage. I'm just not hyped. And then they assassinated her. Doesn't Megan Margel have like a talk show now? We got to get on that. I hope so. She, we need her on the pod.

Dude, the fact that she hasn't hit us up right away is not. Isn't that weird? I think she owns Buzz Balls. It is woman owned. The crazy part about Megan, uh, Markel is like, we could just know her. Markel, Markel. She was, whatever her name is, we could just know her. She was just like a, an actress who was like the sixth lead on suits.

You probably had a Leslie Con class with her, Adam, and don't even remember. I bet I did. I bet I was in an acting class. I bet you were in an act. I bet. I know I wasn't. I bet she auditioned for workaholics. I bet we could go in the craze.

Dude, that'd be amazing. And she's just like playing like, she was going to play this stripper that winked her butthole, uh, at me in the, uh, play daisium at Dante's Pizza Palace. Alice. She might've been Alice, dude. Yeah. Who knows? Alice Markel.

Alice Markel. Hey guys, that was another episode of This is important. Oh, did you have a take back? Did I, did I board? I've got a million more to get in. Oh, this is the end therapy. The end therapy.

Isn't that enough? Dang, that came in hot. Yeah, it does. That song fucking rocks. Wow. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling
