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 saw it in a folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see?
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. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said,
I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others
when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom. Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart

Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about
what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today, we talk about
my ass just doesn't stop. The whole Thanksgiving weekend, I was basically gagging on cock.
It's going to be Dumper and Merlin, and it's going to be you fucking to the wizard.
I don't want to hear this. This was a special moment for me and my family. I don't want to listen
to any of this. Here we go. Start your engines.
Lamadirma.
What a bad clap. Bad clap? Yeah, that wasn't kind of a bad clap. Yeah, it didn't really connect
with my own hands. Happy, uh, happy week after Thanksgiving, guys. Post. Post Thanksgiving,
the come down. Wow. Post Malone Thanksgiving. Yeah, it's happy. Cheers to that. Cheers to that.
Here you go. Cheers. How was your guys just Thanksgiving? We, Thanksgiving was a big holiday
for us as a little friend group. I used to go up to the Bay Area. Not so much, Durs. Sorry to
leave you out here right at the very beginning. Well, you said friend group and I was like,
he didn't say work friend. Okay, that's not me. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, true. True. Durs, my
work friend. Durs has always had us under work friends. Yeah, he's always kept us at Bay. We
used to call each other real friends, but Durs never went that far down the rabbit hole with us.
Where did you have that? Like on your MySpace top eight, it was like work friends or something?
You had to define that. Where did I first hear you say that? I'm like, why is it not on,
why am I not on Durs' top eight? And it was like, well, there was work friends.
Was that right? He had us segregated like that in social media stands. That's crazy.
There was something. I remember it hit me and I'm like, what? Well, you guys know my stance on
segregation. Yeah, we do. And that's, that's a whole nother book of worms. And yeah,
you kept us fully segregated as work friends. I said book of worms. You guys know it. Yeah,
MySpace top eight. Yeah, what were we in fifth grade? I guess that was and
there was only eight, you know, I think they did expand it to 16 though, right? Yeah, then we got
in there. I think they, or you could, could you shrink it down to just four? That's what I wish.
I don't know, dude. Okay. You're just trying to lord. Then one of us is going to feel real bad.
Well, well, who's out? Well, there's only three. Who's out Blake? If it's four, isn't it us three?
And then there's four. What do you mean? Well, there's four, but you're not in your
own top four. You don't put yourself in. Yes, I am. You don't put yourself in. Yes, I am.
Well, wait, but Adam, you were saying one of us was going to be out. And I'm like, who? Yeah,
that's three. That's three of us and four. Oh, my God. Somebody had too much turkey.
I'm remaining quiet. Dude, I'm telling you, I drank my brains away this Thanksgiving.
Let's hear about it. Did anybody do a before and after on the scale or no?
I didn't do a before and after while I was on the parade float. So I didn't start drinking early. It
was a later. I feel like you messed up there. I felt like when I was done, it felt like you needed
a drink after being in the Macy's Day parade. It was a lot. Adam, I woke up early. My kids woke
up about six o'clock and I was like, let's watch this parade. Fire. Fire it up. Live.
Live, baby. Did you see? I saw a live. You saw the song, maybe a song and dance band live.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. On the Tuesday. Live. I felt like connected. I was like, look at this is
happening right now. I kept explaining to Enzo, like this is now. This is happening now. This
is so cool. Did I watch a, I think I watched a replay because I hit Adam up and he was like,
just did it. So then I was like, okay, then it's in two hour or two and a half hours.
I think that they show, I think it was, yeah, I think they like double dipped for West Coast.
They like rain it right back or something. Yeah. Yeah. But it was crazy. So wait.
Yeah. I mean, I had to get Peacock for it. I got Peacock for it. I had to like
subscribe to Peacock. I didn't have it yet. So they got me with the parade. Wow.
And now you can watch Bumper in Berlin streaming only on Peacock. That's right.
Peacock. So it's on the parade. It was truly, I didn't realize like what a giant thing it was.
I tried to tell you baby. But there was legit millions of people along the parade route.
Like millions. That's kind of cool. Yeah. They said there was like three million or something.
And how many times do you perform it? Because I know obviously you perform it live when you
get to that main spot, but you stop along the way a few times and do it or what?
No. No. It's just so awkward, dude, because it's like, oh, so you're just waving the whole time
until the performance? It's like an hour and a half or maybe two hours of just waving. Like
legit, your shoulders hurt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yours do. You're sorry about that.
I'm sorry about that. And I will fucking bonehead got in the gym the day before did a shoulder
workout. Yeah. Still got to send it. Well, they got to be able to see you from the street, bro.
They got to be able to see you from the street. True. Bro, shoulders. But yeah, it's just a lot
of waving at people. It felt like I was a hot girl, you know? Just everybody was like, okay.
You mean what you think a hot girl feels like? Yeah, what a hot girl feels like. Because so many
people were just like, everyone's just staring. What you think? No, no. What you think? You're
just waving at people, you know? Oh, that's what you think. Adam, you're famous though. You know
what it feels like to be looked at a lot. Yeah. Well, sure. Looked at a lot, but not the level
of intensity of this. Not millions. Right. A lot of eyeballs. Dude, it was nonstop. And people were
like losing their minds in a way that I'm like, this ain't real, bam. You know? Right. Are you
saying people were just like, I fucking you? Just like, were they like, no. Well, yeah. And
having like full meltdown. Do you need to go on the record? It was cool to see to look in the
crowd and see like, I would say 90% of people are truly having the greatest time, like the parade.
This is what they live for. They love this fucking parade. It looked awesome on television. And then
you would lock eyes with like a dad who's holding like two kids and his wife is losing her mind.
And here we go. He wants to die inside. And those were the guys. Your boobs are huge. That would
just flash me like a tight bothole sign or just. Oh, nice. That was a white, that was white power.
They were saying you're white power signs. No, they were not. And then they would,
they would, they would be just like, you know my stance on white power sign. Keep it sleazy.
And I'd look over and, and I would lock eyes with a workaholics fan, which you could tell that
they, they, they weren't out and they weren't out there because they were huge fans of the parade.
They're out there because now we're family. Yeah, they got to have families that their
children love the parade. Did you hear any tight buttholes? Oh, yeah. Oh, nice. That's very great.
Very good. It is. Much like hot sort of tight buttholes. I heard more, just you listen to the
buttholes. I keep it tight and stuff like that, whether they're trying to, they're PG. They're
wanking tight. That's what was super interesting for me is it's like a tradition to watch that
parade in my family. Like I grew up watching that parade. So for the first time in a long time,
I was like, all right, family, the tradition continues. Let's get it going. Let it's, it's
continuing in this house. And then like, look at there's Uncle Adam. I was a little pissed off
at that because, you know, football is on at the same time and they kept saying like, up next,
bumper. And like they, they said that really early in the parade. So we stuck on the channel.
Had to watch a lot of it. Okay. Hey, Blake, way to step up for your friend and not watch football.
What do you want from him? A couple devices. Can't you turn on two TVs, man? No, I get it.
What game was on that you, that you were jonesing for? I'm sure I'm trying to watch the Detroit
Lions play, but here's what I'll say. Here's the lesson of it. I heard that game was crazy.
It was crazy. Here's the lesson of it. We're stuck around on the parade and guess who we got to see.
Who? Sean Paul.
No, not Pitbull. No, that's not Pitbull. That was a great one. Sean Paul's a different man.
That was Sean Paul. It was like, uh, is he not? They're the same guy. They're the same guy.
Yes. Yes. No, Sean Paul. I would, I think I would take Sean Paul over Pitbull. I hate to say it.
Me too. Me too. What, what did Sean Paul, what's the one, the thing that sucked most besides like
very tired from waving was, right? I didn't get to see the other floats and stuff. It was like,
I was just, dude, it sucked. It was a lot of weight. It was like legit hurt from smiling.
It was very fun. But at the end, I was like, Oh, I could, I'm not going to smile the rest of the
day. And then I was just like, Oh, dude. That's funny, dude. I'm going to be a frowny drunk this
afternoon. Charlie Brown. Wait, so if you just had to perform one time, you didn't start cracking
beers as soon as you wrapped the song to relax. Well, no, and we, we performed at the very end.
Oh, you did this. And then I started cracking beers, as you would say, but I did. And I was,
I was like drinking martinis and whiskey and a lot of red wine. It was fun. Can I ask, can I,
can I pull the curtain, can I pull the curtain on this performance and just ask? Okay. Because I
know some for sure are, and I don't know some aren't, but what's lip syncing? What about it? Oh,
you went there. Oh, you went there. What about it? What about it, dog? Oh, you went there. What about
it, Honduras? I told myself before this, I wasn't going to go there. I'm just asking. I want to,
I want to know this. Hey, is that what this podcast is about?
Yeah, it's a question. Yeah, pulling the thread on, on our whole industry. Is that what this
podcast is about? Who's doing it? What do you think? And who's not? Is there somebody who's
not a disaster? Oh, you want me to name names? No, I just want to know if, if anybody on your
flow, I know Sean Paul, wasn't it? I know Sean Paul, wasn't it? Was he? I don't know, dude. I don't
know. Cause some of it, some of its flagrant, some of the lip syncing is off and you're like,
it was cold as fuck. Everybody was wearing gloves and shit. No, I think, I think 100% of everyone
lip syncs. Right. Yes. Just cause they don't want the technical shit to fuck up and whatever. Yes.
Now let me ask you this. Now just, just a quick, yeah. So do you have a choice?
The technical, their voices. Which is crazy. You think like the real singers would, but
no, they don't even. Yeah. So you don't, Sean Paul. That's crazy. Everyone, but you did that.
Wow. Everyone put me, yeah, I was the one guy that, and Flula and Sarah, they lip-synced
like a lot. They were lip-syncing at the time. Not me though. I was like, keep, keep-
Throw him under the bus. Give me a hot mic. Cause Flula, someone had to do German for him. Cause
that's a whole character he does. He's from Florida. Oh yeah. Hardcore. That's why I say it's Flula.
Damn. This is how the sausage is made? I don't want to hear this. This was a special moment for
me and my family. I don't want to listen to any of this. And Sarah Highland, she's from the Lowlands
actually. It's a whole, everything's alive. Yeah. She's not from them Highlands. But it was,
it was a truly like an event. Like I got legit starstruck when I saw fucking Snoopy, dude. Oh
yeah. Right. The, the, like when I saw some of these balloons, I was like legit, like how I felt
when I first, when I saw Kobe Bryant for the first time. Like legit, like, whoa, dude, I bet.
I bet. Oh my God. Look who that is. But it wasn't Snoopy. It's just a balloon. No, but these are,
these are special. I know, dude. I know, but it's so iconic. These are special.
Didn't you hear like on one of the like Minions ones, it took like 10,000 gallons of paint. That's
not easy to cover up a Minions balloon. Okay. Dude, that's hard to do. Okay. The Minion one,
that thing was huge. And did you see the Ronald McDonald one? Did you see the horse thing?
Did you see the horse? Is this another part of the parade? Were they even out there? Was that
shit CGI? Now I don't know what the fuck to trust. You're out there lip syncing. The balloons
really out there. Okay. Hot take. Hot take. It's augmented reality. Adam was there. Adam was there.
Well, were you, were you wearing your metaglasses? Were you in the streets? Come on now.
No, the balloons were there. I will stand by that. How big are they? Even the horse? The, the horse
that was puffy. There was a puffy horse. There was a puffy horse. Well, what sucks is it was so
sick. Dude, I didn't get to see a lot of the floats. I only really got to see what was right
in front of me and what was right behind me because you know, I watched the whole damn thing
because I was, I was all up in line. And so you're out there on the course for three hours,
two and a half hours? Well, they don't call it the course. They call it the route, but
I gotta coach you up on all parade shit, dude. It's a bagel. Oh my God, Adam, I'm so sorry.
God, Ders, you dumbass. Dude, I can't believe I got to coach you up on the course. I had the same
course. The course? Yeah. What do you think he's golfing? Fucking egg on your face, homie. That's
a route. He's golfing? Sorry, when they shut down the street, when they shut down the streets for
shit I'm doing, that's a course. That's a triathlon course. Okay, okay. That's true. Hey,
that is true. That is true. Okay. That's a running course, but the route and it's on,
is it on Fifth Avenue? Yeah, I think we, I don't really know. We stopped right in front of. Oh,
green screen. You don't know. It's augmented reality. Augmented reality. Oh, did it really
happen? Did we land on the moon? We stopped right in front of Macy's and then we did a few
wiggles in there. We took a few turns, but hard. I think the whole thing is. Was it cold as fuck?
It looked cold as fuck. No, it wasn't that cold. It looked nice. It looked real nice. Usually it's
cold. It actually, yeah, it was actually pretty nice. Everybody was rocking like fingerless gloves.
I thought that was a good look. That's just in. Hoping to see that on you, but that's such a
Kyle look. I actually, I was like, I'd be wearing fingerless gloves straight up if I was out there
lip syncing. For sure, Kyle. And I am 100% real when I tell you, because I lie about a lot of this
shit that we talk about, but I'm 100% real. Yeah, good, good. When I say that I saw someone with
fingerless gloves and I was like, fuck, I wish I had scissors because that's a good look. No.
Yes. I swear to you, I thought that dude. I remember being nine or 10 years old and seeing
fingerless gloves and being like, that's the look probably in like Ninja Turtles, probably Sam
Rockwell, Casey Jones, Casey Jones. Thank you. They had the leather glove with the
knuckles in the back and stuff. That's like, you mean biz? And then getting to a certain point
in my life where I go, not a great look. If you delivered papers, you got them. If you delivered
papers, yes. You get the dexterity of your fingers. You could pick stuff up. You can look at
your phone. You could do swipeys. Gloves have come a far a long way where you can do all that stuff
down. They've come a far away. They've come a far away, don't get it. I just don't understand. I mean,
you know where I stand on the look, obviously. I don't understand. Well, document. It's about
the only thing I know where you stand on. I don't understand how you can just discount that look.
Like it's good for, it's good for something. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's good for a lot.
Mountain biking. Yeah. Cycling. Yes. That's perfect. A lot of cool stuff. And holding a
microphone when it's cold out and your lip syncing. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. And
when you're dancing and shimmying and shaking on a float. Right. Right. Yeah. You're going to,
you're going to want your fingers ready to go. Ready to give the peace sign and the thumbs up and
the point. Or if you have a paper route. If I remember wearing those paper routes. That's a
blank to set. I get that because you got to. The Contra Costa Times gave you a gift. Yeah.
Every year they would give you a pair of fingerless gloves. What are these words you just
sprung together? Was that your local newspaper? Contra Costa. Kyle and I are from Contra Costa
County. You know, home of, that's where Concord is located. And we delivered the Contra Costa Times.
Sure. See, and no one knew that outside of that area. Contra. You got to explain a little bit
to the listeners. It's okay. They know. It's our county newspaper. Okay. Got it. There you go.
All right. You guys are from a place called Contra? Well, yeah, up, down, down,
started whatever it was. Got it right. It's built here. Spread. Shoot them with the spread. And
is that because that came, like video games came out of that area? What? Explain to us why it's
Contra. Yes. What does the word Contra mean? That's a great question. Contra ban. Contra ban,
Contradiction. Contradiction. Contradiction.
Well, see, that's the root word. Contra.
Contra curious about what it means? Contra intuitive.
What do you suppose Contra means?
Huh, that's interesting.
I bet it means opposition.
The best part about this podcast is we don't know.
This is important.
I bet it means opposition.
It means against, opposite, contrasting.
Oh, my God. Opposite, baby.
I guess that. I got that.
Interesting.
So you guys are from Contra County? Contra Costa.
Contra Costa.
So it's Costa.
So Costa must be...
Costa might mean coast.
Port Costa is up fucking up by Martinez.
So it's the opposite coast.
So it's inland.
OK, it's inland. OK, yeah.
Maybe. Yeah, there's a Port Costa.
Yeah. All right.
Talk about the gloves again, boys.
Wait, you're saying, yeah, like we figured it out,
but I don't know what the fuck we just said.
You don't know? You don't get it?
No, look it, because Contra Costa.
He doesn't get it.
No, because Contra Costa.
This is my guess, obviously.
Contra Costa is opposite Costa.
There is a Port Costa.
B-A-E!
That's by the ocean.
OK, OK, OK, yes.
So we're opposite. OK, this is good.
So we're opposite of the coast.
So what happened after the parade?
Well, no, we were talking about gloves,
and then we took a...
That shit's important.
The gloves, the Contra Costa Times gloves
came from delivering newspapers,
which is a great look for paper boys, fingerless gloves.
It really is.
The only fingerless glove I'll use is the drinking glove
that you can get from the College Club bar
in Madison, Wisconsin.
Shout out to the KK. Here we go.
Shout out. That shit's important.
I feel like more bars should give out drinking gloves,
because once you put it on,
you really feel inspired to really tie one on.
Absolutely. Yeah, you're going to spend some money.
If you got the gloves on, you're like,
I'm wearing my gloves. I better put in work, you know?
Yeah, and then you're like, well, I have the glove.
We got to go back to the same place
where I have the glove from.
Because it only makes sense to drink at that place
with gloves on. Right, right.
Do you know where that tradition started,
why they handed out a glove?
Because that's the only place I've ever been
that has a drinking glove.
I mean, it is fingerless.
Me too, but I liked it a lot.
And so did you.
I remember we all were big fans of the glove.
Yeah, it's very cool.
It's just the best. They know what they're doing.
Yeah, that is the best.
Did you have to earn it?
I just got famous.
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.

Last season, millions tuned in to 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?
What the hell did I just see?
I was scared that he was coming home.
What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark
she feared for her life.
She was like, oh, my God, I gotta get out of the house.
He's gonna find out that I've seen this,
he's gonna come kill me.
Listen to season two of Betrayal
on the iHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Between April 1971 and September 1972,
six young black girls were snatched off the streets
in Washington, 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,
sign Freeway Phantom.
This child was laying on the side of the road.
It appeared that she was probably either dragged
out of the car or thrown out of the car.
The person said, I murdered your daughter.
The killer believed that he may have been seen
by the mother.
My mother's father?
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.
Ders, we stayed in the Palace Hotel.
Oh, the Palace Hotel.
Where you had to stay when we shot the intern.
Did you buy any candy at the lobby candy store?
Is that still there?
I didn't get any candy, no.
Wow.
Mostly drank in the gold room.
They have a room that's just like all gold,
because I guess it used to be like some rich guy's mansion.
And they have this room that is like,
was part of the original house.
Just the bar there, right?
And it's this giant gold bar, yeah.
And everything in it is gold, yeah.
Yeah, that's fancy.
And they didn't give out drinking gloves?
Yeah, that was where I was kind of like.
That's fucked up.
That's weird.
You need a gold glove.
The only way to elevate this place
would be to give out cool merch.
Gold drinking gloves.
Yeah.
Gold drinking gloves, exactly.
Yeah, precisely.
Your gloves, sir.
The golden glove, baby.
Dude, if you had the golden glove.
Was there a bar merch?
Did they even have merch there?
I have a feeling a place like that
would have very sick merch.
No, there's no merch.
No, dude.
This is fancy.
There's no merch.
It's too fancy for merch, which sucks.
Yeah.
Do they have match books?
Do they have a good match book?
If it was like, you could have Gucci,
Gold Room merch or something.
Like, obviously, give it, hype it up for the clientele.
Right.
Like, give them what they want.
Yes.
Prada.
Like, I went to the Gold Room and all I got
was this stupid Gucci shirt.
I feel like we're in a meeting for the Palsettel right now.
We gotta hype it up.
Prada, Balenciaga.
See, all of these are names.
All the names that we could think of.
I bet we could list like five really fancy Gucci, Prada,
Prada, Fendi.
Fendi.
What was that?
What was that?
The Cray Sean song?
Is that right?
Gucci, Gucci, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, Prada.
Well, I guess it's on there.
Cray Sean.
Twin, Prada.
Only three.
Only three different.
Should we give our flowers to Cray Sean?
Absolutely, Bear, your legend.
What about, what's that one?
Joe Barbados or whatever?
Is that what it's called?
John Barbados?
No, John Barbados.
John Barbados.
Is that one?
Is that one?
I wouldn't say John Barbados is on the same level as Gucci.
Blake will wear that when he gets real old.
Blake is gonna be a John Barbados guy.
No.
I got some Barbados.
Yeah, that's Kyle.
That's not me.
Dude, I got Barbados.
No, I take it back.
That's true.
It's all Kyle.
I already got Barbados, dude.
I got some shoes.
It's like dark tones, rock, older rock dude vibes.
Dude, there's a metal like peace sign on my shoes
and they're so nice.
I got them.
Yeah, that's rock, dude.
That's so rock and roll.
These are things I don't doubt.
I see that for you.
Well, I got it for your wedding, Unders.
I wore those shoes for the first time to your wedding.
Great, cool.
Congrats, Jersey.
I appreciate that.
I'm pissed now.
So that means something.
I think I dipped in there and got a belt
when I had forgotten my belt to deliver an award at the NHL
Awards in Las Vegas.
I was like, fuck, I don't have a belt.
Got a belt.
So hey.
Go to John.
John Barbados actually saved my ass once.
I forgot my suit.
Your dump truck ass?
They saved the dump truck.
Oh, dude.
Multiple people tweeted at me or DM'd me or whatever
saying bumper more like dumper.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
Of course.
Dude, they got that nice profile shot of us
standing there waving at people as I pass.
My ass just doesn't stop.
Which, by the way, give it a few weeks
and dumper in Berlin is going to be a porn parody.
Oh, yes.
Dumper in Berlin.
That's a good one.
Dumper in Berlin.
I'm going to fuck you.
It's going to be Dumper in Merlin.
And it's going to be you fucking the wizard.
Dumper in Merlin.
Dumper in Merlin.
It's going to have pogs for sure.
Yeah.
But John Barbados, I forgot my suit.
I was doing Letterman before he retired.
And I slipped in right at the last few months
and forgot my suit.
Wow.
I just got on the plane, went there,
and then opened up my suitcase.
I was like, oh, I don't have the whole thing I needed to be here.
The whole thing to wear.
Can I pull up an LRG T-shirt?
I'm just fucking basketball shorts.
And John Barbados hooked me up with a suit.
I mean, I think I paid for it.
I know I paid for it.
But they told me one.
But I'm sure they tailored it.
They tailored it.
Quick turnaround.
Yeah.
OK, well.
Dude, Barbados hooked me up with those shoes
for Derz and Wedding, too.
I mean, I paid for them.
When you paid for them, you gave them money.
I paid for them like full price.
But they hooked me up, dude.
They came in clutch.
Yeah.
How was that?
They probably help you shoehorn.
Dude, I went to the grocery store.
I got hooked up with food.
Dude, there's a total hookup at Ralph's this morning.
It was crazy.
If you give them this money, they'll hook you up.
Dude, it's crazy, dude.
$200 worth of hook up, because I paid $200.
Actually, pretty expensive.
My new outfit.
Actually, pretty expensive.
My new house was hooked up.
Dude.
You definitely walk out of there with stuff.
Dude, shout out to Jeep for hooking me up with a car, dude.
That's sick.
Unreal.
Big hookup.
So crazy.
Still hooking me up to this day.
I'm giving those monthly hookups.
Oh, man.
You know what's crazy?
Have you guys ever been hooked up by Con Ed?
Dude, if you need lights, all you got to do
is send them a check.
Next thing you know, you can see around your house at night.
Damn.
They'll hook you up.
Shout out.
Yeah, you'll get hooked right up.
Water and power.
Crazy.
Wireless, they hook it up every month.
Big shout out.
Thanks for the hookup.
Yeah.
Hook me the hell up.
And this is not an ad.
This is not an ad.
No, not at all.
We're just appreciating what they're doing.
The service is crazy.
And like, you know, I know we're in a position of influence.
People know who we are.
We have TV shows.
But we appreciate the hookup no matter what.
Thank you for the hookup.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone, for hooking us up when we give that money.
Thank you.
Genuinely, thank you.
Genuinely.
We don't take it for granted.
What suit did you wear on?
Fallon, because you had a busy day after the parade,
wasn't it Fallon?
Oh, yeah.
Did Fallon?
He broke the curse.
First one to do it.
He was wearing fingerless gloves on the float.
Was he?
Fallon was wearing fingerless gloves.
Dude, I bet he was.
I bet he was.
That's a good look.
It is.
Yes, it is.
Fallon's always got it on the pulse.
And he has got a nice little beard to keep him warm now,
too.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
He looks really good on the float.
Ready for the winter.
It was super fun.
I took my parents.
I took my parents to everything.
I took them to the Tonight Show.
I did the Today Show.
Sick.
I brought my mom.
And they just awkwardly gave her a mic
and made her stand there off to the side.
And then they just cut to her.
And my mom had to try to talk.
And she's holding the microphone down here.
And I'm like, microphone up.
And she brings the microphone up a quarter
of an inch, dude, a quarter of an inch.
She goes from here to here.
And I'm like, I thought you meant a quarter
of an inch from her mouth.
I'm like, yeah, we're up.
No, no, no.
Just raised it a little bit up.
She is so slightly up.
I guess I don't know what the unit of measure
for a quarter of an inch is.
But it sounds like a long way.
Yeah, a quarter of an inch is pretty big.
It's 1 fourth of an inch.
It's pretty.
Let me just hang on a second.
Let me just.
Yeah, that's pretty big.
Oh, OK.
It's pretty long.
Shout out to him.
This is three.
If you look at your dick, you'll go, that's three.
So this is three.
A quarter is you.
No, man.
There's 12 quarters in there.
There's 12 quarters.
And three.
Roll the quarters.
What's a quarter?
There's 12 quarters in three.
That's like a.
So she did.
So she moved it pretty far.
Yeah, it's huge.
Huge amount.
You're really loud and clear.
Oh, wow.
That's a big, big choke.
Good on you.
And she, you know, she loved it.
The family loved it.
It was good seeing them, you know,
and doing all the weird, fun, pressed stuff.
Weird, wild stuff.
Did everybody get home or wherever to link up with family?
Ders, did you see the squad or what?
We went to Oregon, saw Emma's sister and her family,
the cousins.
We like to get the kids together.
You know what I mean?
Of course.
Make memories with good.
Of course.
Saw a bunch of deer.
You need that sweet cousin action.
How many cousins do the kids have?
They got two.
No, they just have two.
Don't worry, we're working.
We're working on brothers and sisters making more.
OK.
Good.
There we go.
Good, good, good.
What, yo ass?
Actively pursuing.
All right.
We're trying to build the empire.
You need a lot of cousins.
I had a ton of cousins.
It was very fun going to family events
because there was always just a bunch of cousins running around.
Yeah.
Yeah, cousins were on.
Emma has like 60 cousins.
Yeah.
Which is cool.
Oh my god.
That's a lot.
Because her mom comes from a monster family.
Family of monsters?
A monster family?
Like the monsters?
Yeah, you smell it.
Yeah, they're just, well, they can't stop fucking.
That's why the monsters.
It's a universal universe of monsters.
Right, universal property.
It's an IP.
Monster family.
No, her mom comes from a Brady bunch
where they had five daughters already.
And then.
Another show reference.
And then.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I feel like it's a cultural touchstone.
And then remarried into a family of eight kids.
So there are five and eight all together.
Just eating boxes of cereal, gallons of milk.
I love rice.
Rice, aroni for days.
They're getting hooked up by Kellogg's.
My god.
Yeah.
I mean, dude, you know what I'm saying.
They're probably not hooked up by a captain.
Costco.
Costco hooked them up.
Between 13 kids, they make a lot of cousins, man.
I bet, damn.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I had four cousins.
And what about you guys?
Did you guys go back to the Bay Area?
Yes, Contra Costa County.
Did you guys go back to the opposite of the coast?
The opposite coast.
Contra Costa.
Super dope.
Oh, dude.
Did you guys still get together and do a friends giving
after the families do a regular giving?
Or that stops at this point?
We didn't.
I'm really, really butt hurt about that.
I hate that there is no friends giving in my life.
Well, I feel like we're probably getting to the age
where like the basically wives are going,
you can't leave the family to go and now
to get drunk with your friends.
I think it's going to come around again.
It's a real reality check at this point.
Like none of the homies stay up late at all.
Like especially being in like Concord or Walnut Creek,
everything shuts down like 10 o'clock.
It's a wrap, dude.
Hey, Blake, you know who to call.
You want to pull up?
You want to pull up to Concord?
You know who to call.
Yeah, come on up to the Bay, dude.
Hop on a jet suite.
Get up here, dude.
That'd be sick.
That'd be sick.
No, we didn't do any Thanksgiving festivities
together this year, Blake.
That was kind of sad.
All we did was play.
Yeah, that is sad.
That's none of your people.
Wait, none of your friends who have kids still throw down ever?
Dude, like zero percent.
We didn't have nothing.
Well, maybe not on Thanksgiving.
I mean, maybe not.
I mean, I know I did, but I don't have children.
I understand that it's hard to sneak out, not sneak out,
but just to be like, all right, I'm
going to dip out honey, you stay here.
But like on the next day or like if you're there
for a long weekend to be like, all right,
I'm going to go do something with my guys.
We could have if we were good at organizing,
but that's kind of the problem is like.
Did you guys see each other?
We did.
We saw each other.
Randomly at the browse, getting hooked up.
We played pickleball.
We played a little pickle.
We got some pickle in.
Yes, sir.
Oh, boy, pickleball.
Should we tell them?
OK.
Yeah, dude, yeah.
Blake, Blake.
So now Kyle is down in the LA area a lot nowadays,
but you guys didn't see each other down there.
You guys waited to play pickleball until you're
in the Bay Area.
Is this better?
No, no, no, we're playing.
We're playing a lot, dude.
Blake's out there.
You and Blake play pickleball more than one time.
We've played pickleball probably 20 times together.
Yeah.
Yeah, we play a lot.
In Burbank, right?
Is that right?
TK hit me up.
He's like, when you come into Burbank.
Yeah, come out.
Yeah, Derz was.
I mean, that's the news.
That's the headline.
I saw a picture of you with a wooden paddle in your hand
with some dope ass shorts on.
I need to know what those were.
Those are John Barbados.
At this point, I'm the only one who hasn't pickleball.
Well, yeah, because your testicles are ruptured.
I can't believe I did it, but I didn't want to be that guy.
So the family, they all had pickleball stuff up there
and like everyone's pickleballing where they lived.
Well, that's where it was created, right?
Well, that was in Oregon.
Yeah, in Oregon.
Yeah, OK, cool.
So then I went out and they were like, here's a paddle.
I go, what do I do with this?
And I fucking served them up.
And then you just won.
You just won, huh?
No, I was OK.
But it was fun.
I had a good time.
There we go.
The shorts, the shorts are mountain hardware, Kyle.
OK, I love I love this for Derris
because he was probably the most starch, start, start.
No, he's starch, staunch, staunch, staunch.
Good bye.
He's a staunch.
The one guy who didn't want to fucking play the game.
You're a fucking disaster, my guy.
You're a fucking disaster, my guy.
You're right, I just I didn't want to jump on the.
I wanted to be organic.
I didn't want to have to be like, all right,
I got to go jump into pickleball.
Everyone was doing it.
And I was like, this is it.
This is when I do it.
Yeah, it seemed right.
Dang, I'm jealous.
I want to play fun.
You should.
It's a good time.
Here's what I realized.
No matter how hard you hit that ball, it doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Well, that's the fun of the game
because you get to hit it as hard as you want.
It's a finesse game.
You can't power because I'd be like, I can.
Wham, because I played a little bit of tennis growing up.
So I could summon that.
Yeah, you can.
The biggest adjustment was that the paddle
wasn't as long as a tennis racket.
Yeah.
Oh, and you're lefty too, huh?
Yeah.
Yep.
No, that's big.
That's big.
No, that's different.
That's big.
That's huge.
Not a lot of lefties out there.
Wait, why?
Anyway, so it's a hitting a backhand.
I just, there were a few times I was like,
oh, the paddle's not as long as a racket.
So I just would whiff.
Ah.
Right.
You know, ah.
See, I don't have any tennis in my background.
So I'm like ping pong paddle only.
So it's actually easier than a ping pong paddle for me,
except I have to run my ass over to the ball.
Yeah, the running is where Kyle gets rocked.
But if I'm rocketing, when you fucking just blast a forehand,
it doesn't matter.
People would just are like, cook, cook.
And you're like, oh, I don't need to kill myself.
Did you only play doubles?
Did you play doubles, right?
I played doubles, and then I played me against two people.
OK.
Oh, OK.
So you did two on one.
That's a fun one.
So you did enjoy it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Didn't get hurt.
Does it deserve the hype?
Sure.
OK.
I mean, it deserves the hype.
Give me a hell, yeah.
Look, it's not cosmic bowling.
I'll say that.
I stand by that.
Yeah, fuck that.
You're damn right.
It's not.
No.
It better not be.
But yeah, it's a good time.
It's just easy.
You can just stand there and go, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
No, but it is.
Like I watch pros.
Look, it's like acting, OK?
Anybody can do it.
But then when you see something really good at it,
you're like, well, that's different.
That's what me and Blake.
That's the level Blake and I are playing at.
It's like Semi-Pro.
Pretty nice.
We're like up there, you know?
But Semi-Pro isn't.
It's no different from just regular person.
The elite is the only recognizable difference.
Well, it goes three, then four, then five,
and then five plus, and then pro.
Those are your ratings.
Sure.
And most people start around, if you're good,
you start around three, three, five, or something like that.
OK.
None of that makes any sense.
I'm probably five plus though.
No, you're not.
I would stomp you, Derz.
Well, what was that little laugh, Kyle?
Did you say stomp?
OK.
I said, uh-huh.
What?
Well, Kyle, what are the rules about the kitchen?
Can you be in the kitchen?
Well, I don't want this to be a pickleball episode.
No, no one did.
I mean, it's just a Thanksgiving episode with team pickleball.
But Kyle is burying the headline a little bit.
Kyle, do you want to let him know the news?
What's the headline, Blake?
What, what?
What news that?
OK, yeah, here's the news.
Blake fucking smoked my ass in a game of golf.
OK.
And him and I have not talked about it until right now.
We have not talked about it till now.
And I've been thinking about it since he walked off the court.
That's how you know it was real.
That's what's up, baby.
Well, and is that, no, didn't we talk about this?
Like, obviously, like any of us could beat you.
And I'm not, I will say Derz and myself because I don't know.
My groin has been injured.
I feel like I'm limping around the court.
I don't got, I can't move side to side that quickly.
I was a little awkward to hear him say he would stomp me.
And then now to hear this.
Derz and Blake, who are better athletes than you,
right, currently, with the way their bodies are currently shaped.
Correct. The tide would turn quickly.
We talked about that, how like you would win the first few games,
but then they're at superior athleticism.
Right. I don't even think it's games.
I think it's I think it's time on the courts
because it's already happening with Blake on single on the singles level.
Like I'm saying, like he did get on a run and he got my ass like straight up.
I have got him before.
I just haven't bragged about it because of course, you know, a lot.
Maybe not one on one.
But so you can't brag.
But doubles is a different game than ones as well.
It's a totally different game.
Right. Different game.
You have to move.
Yeah. That's a completely different strategy.
Right. Ones is ones you have to have gas.
I have said this, Kyle, I don't have gas.
Kyle, what are you talking about?
No one cares, dude.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
So what do you mean?
What do you mean?
You're like, doubles is OK.
Who's talking about doubles?
No one is talking about doubles.
What would you like to know?
What are you? What was your question?
See, you said you would stomp me.
Is that in doubles? No.
No. Blake beat you in what currently?
No, that he would stomp you in hacky sack.
He's talking about something completely different.
You would beat me in doubles with somebody else
because I don't know how good the other person is.
No, if I played you now, I would beat you.
I would beat you for weeks.
You're right. You would probably beat me.
I've played one.
I played four games.
Yeah. So what I said isn't like.
And this and and and Kyle, it's your life.
And if you gave me two weeks of playing every day,
I'd have you fucking gagging on my dick
by the end of the game.
Play ball.
Disaster.
I love it.
Whoa, hey, this ain't Colbert CBS pickleball talk.
That's a ball.
Now you wonder why we're not invited to fucking Colbert
celebrity pickleball because it turns out
you're telling people to make a ball.
X rated pickleball.
Taking it to level fucking 11, bro.
And I respect that.
I respect that. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Jesus.
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.

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 phantom.
This child was laying on the side of the road.
It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car
or thrown out of the car.
The person said, I murdered your daughter.
The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother.
That guy is he's out of sync with even the worst people.
I thought that they would catch him.
I thought it was just a matter of time.
Is it possible that the killer is still alive?
Listen to freeway phantom on the iHeart radio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Did you guys do a classic turkey or what did we do for Thanksgiving?
Oh, you want to talk about classic turkey?
We went classic turkey.
You know, the kind of turkey that gags on your dick.
Gobble, let me gobble.
What did you guys gobble?
Because I'm still I we used to do a where we would measure in
before the beginning of the day.
And then at the end of the day, after we've done like three or four
full Thanksgiving meals and weigh and I think one year I gained
like 10 or 11 pounds and whale.
Not 10 or 11.
Yeah, I was.
I think it was five or six.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Wait, what'd you say?
You gained seven?
No, I gained like 10 or 11 pounds.
I thought Jesus, I was with you, Kyle, at your house when we would do the
way in your bra.
Oh, this is back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, by the way, Kyle, this dude was stealing silverware from your
parents' house and you're like, get on the scale.
He's like, I'm good.
Wow, you're getting 10 pounds.
Cool.
No, you would see it in my body.
My body would would change and I feel like it kind of changed this
week, too.
I did go, boobs are huge, pretty wild, but the batteries are currently
out at the scale in my, in my house here.
So it's better that way, man.
It's better that way.
It's better to not know.
I know at this point I'm like, I don't want to, I don't want to see it.
I did a rough week going into Thanksgiving.
I was just crushing crafty on set and eating like nice meals, ready to get
out of Vancouver, do my boobs are huge, my last meals.
And then I just pounded, pounded some Thanksgiving, just gagged on the cock.
And, um, oh.
So that's just the thing you're saying.
That's not, that doesn't just take how you say playboy.
Oh, that's just like a thing.
There's no, I thought that was aggressive.
Oh, sure.
I thought that was ultra aggressive.
It's not new catchphrase is just gagging on the cock.
Yeah.
That just means like to the extreme.
It just means like to the extreme.
It's like, yeah, I'm going to use that shirt.
You didn't know that.
That gag, gag 2000.
I feel hella better now.
Cause I thought I felt that shit through the, through the pod, but that's
just a nice thing you say to people now.
It's all good.
Yeah.
No, it's just a way it's just slang.
Hey, Blake, did you gag on the cock of Thanksgiving dinner or?
Yeah.
My mom's dinner was gagging on the cock, um, seeing my friends from high school.
I was gagging on the cock.
It was, it was the whole Thanksgiving weekend.
And I was basically gagging on the cock based on the fact that you guys used to
hang and just get butt naked and drink together.
I don't doubt it.
Cock gagging, man.
It was super cock gagging.
Not, I'm not, I'm not doubting you.
Well, I gagged on a cock on some salmon, some salmon's cock.
Yeah, that was good.
You guys had salmon.
Okay.
Cause you're not eating, you don't eat turkey even, right?
I don't eat turkey.
No, I don't eat turkey.
I thought you were full vegetarian.
Like you didn't eat meat is fish that's allowed.
I know.
He went pesky.
No, remember the past.
Past, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a pesky gentleman.
Okay.
A pesky bugger, a pesky gentleman.
Either you have diarrhea or you don't.
And why, why did you choose fish?
What, what is the purpose of pescatarianism?
You know what?
It was at your bachelor, at your bachelor party when, when we went
out and I just was like, I just wanted to have something.
Oh, that bachelor party gagged cock, dude.
That was a gag.
We were gagging cock at that batch party.
I was hungry and I just was like, I like fish.
So I'm going to go back to fish and then there you have it.
You know, it's as easy as that.
I remember that.
It's really easy.
I remember it being like kind of a big thing.
But, and then we just got too drunk to like really signify, like
to show it the, the revenants it deserves.
This was at the place with the Jaeger fountain.
Yes.
This was at the Jaeger fountain.
Yeah.
And then Kyle tried to like stop the party and be like, Hey guys,
I'm over here eating fish.
I could get everybody to, to look over here.
I was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
I would like to make it an ounce.
We're just trying to gag cock on the Jaeger fountain.
And I'm pretty sure we did.
Pretty.
There's picture evidence.
We were gagging cock the whole weekend.
I loved it.
Truly is one of my favorite holidays, though.
Everyone's just, what's the best?
No one's exhausted from the holiday season yet.
You know what I mean?
It's, it's like, it's the kickoff where everyone's like, hell, yeah,
I'm going to eat food.
I'm going to be around family and friends.
We're going to drink.
It's going to have a great time.
We're footballs on.
You haven't spent all your money on gifts yet.
You haven't had that stress.
Yeah, exactly.
And then, and then by the time you get to like New Year's Eve,
you're like, absolutely fuck party.
I don't give a shit.
Right.
Get away from me for sure.
Fuck this shit.
Like my head doesn't fit through shirts now.
I'm morbidly obese.
I had to go back to my V-necks, bro.
I had to loosen the necks of my shirt.
I'm such a fat fuck.
Dust off my V-necks, dude.
Is that your favorite?
Is Thanksgiving, Adam, your favorite holiday?
It's a gag cock.
You know, I love Christmas.
I love like Christmas shit around the house.
I like that.
He is risen.
But I do love the fact that Christ is risen.
Or was that Easter?
No, he was born, right?
Yes, he was born.
Damn, son.
I'm just talking about his Easter, bro.
He was born in Bethlehem.
That's right.
That's right.
Oh, Bethesda.
He's sent Mer-gold.
Allegedly.
Yeah, Mer-gold.
Three wise men, you get really down with it.
Three wise men and shit.
Mer-gold.
No, but I think Thanksgiving, I always have such a great time.
Yeah.
Thanksgiving is great.
Oh, yeah.
So wait, so Christmas is your favorite, but Thanksgiving.
I think I have the best time at Thanksgiving.
Right.
But you still like Christmas more?
Well, it's the it's the Christian of it all here.
Yes, of course.
This is Adam's way of not choosing.
This is his way of not choosing.
He's like, I like this one for this.
I guess I technically I like Thanksgiving more,
but part of my reason of liking Thanksgiving is this.
As soon as Thanksgiving happens, then it's the Christmas season.
Yeah, Christmas is too close.
And Mariah Carey lets us know.
Oh, yeah, she does.
She was out there.
She did.
My sister saw she ended the parade.
Yes, she did.
And my I didn't get to see it because I was I was taken.
Take out.
But my sister saw Mariah Carey
and started to cry.
Yeah, I get that.
Wow, because she's like the perfect generation
that just Mariah Carey was a fucking home run for her.
Yeah, she's a heartbreaker.
Fucking best.
Hey, points.
Um, Blake and Kyle, favorite holiday of the holiday season.
Is that or are we just Halloween of all holidays?
Of all holidays.
OK, all right.
Mine's Thanksgiving for sure.
I love Thanksgiving.
I don't know, but also Fourth of July is always such a banger.
That's such a great.
You're speaking my language.
It's fun, but Halloween is also super sick.
I think in the last couple of years,
Fourth of July is my new favorite holiday.
I like the food.
I like the the weather.
I like that you got a food like just hot dogs and grilling.
Just like grill like burgers and hot dogs and chips.
And like maybe there's a potato sale.
I don't know, dude, I love chips too.
I love parades like the Fourth of July parade is a banger.
I think it's my favorite.
I mean, this is tough.
The Thanksgiving parade is pretty sick.
There's only one, though.
Kyle is a huge Valentine's Day fan, isn't he?
No, it's like the whole year.
I mean, dude, Thanksgiving is pretty tight
because you are just grubbing with your family
and it's always tradition and when it's sick, it's nice.
It's nice. I don't know what beats it.
I feel like there's too much formality around Thanksgiving.
Like Fourth of July is kind of fast and loose.
Come by, pop over if you want.
We're grilling.
It's a little more.
It's also political.
It's also a little political in it.
Why?
Well, we're celebrating the USA.
It's a little political.
Yeah, it can't dip into it.
It can't dip.
It can dip into that.
Some people politicize it.
Who? You?
Look, we all live here.
It's got blemishes, but we're all here now.
And also if you're going to, if you're talking about like
Thanksgiving is a little political.
Yeah, Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Thanksgiving is more political.
Where it's like, yeah.
And we sat down at a table with the Indians and had a dinner.
It's like, no, it's not.
We're exactly how it went down.
It's science.
Also Thanksgiving is like where you'll get in like a weird fight
with your uncle about some shit that you're like with the grandma.
They gave us corn or your weird cousin that has just fallen down
a conspiracy theory.
We're like, man, shut up, right?
Your uncle, your uncle just be like, well, Pierce Morgan said.
And you go, all right, yeah, no, no, I got TV, too.
OK. Yeah.
My uncle was like, you know, I was listening to the pot.
I heard you guys saying you're gagging George.
That's right. That's right. Yes. Yes.
That's right. Oh, you want to get political?
You trying to get political right now trying to politicize that?
Yeah, we're trying to politicize that.
Yeah, everything's political.
I don't know, man.
Thanksgiving is so good.
Did you say everything's political?
Yeah, I did say that.
It does feel like everything's political.
Oh, my God, so true.
I'm not an advocate for that at all.
I think it sucks.
I think it's the worst.
I think we should just be fucking chilling.
And that's it.
Yeah, we should just be absentminded, not care.
Let's just be humans.
Or are we dancers?
Thank you. Thank you.
Ders, you were hitting it on the head there.
Absentminded. Don't care.
Just keep powering through.
Entertain. That's right.
I mean, all my most fun friends have no idea what's going on in the world ever.
It's it's way better that way.
And they're and they're like, yeah, there was a march yesterday.
And you're like, do you know about that?
Or it's called parade.
It was busy watching whatever.
No, it was a march.
And they'll be like, the fucking parade came by.
And you're like, that was a human rights march.
Oh, it was fucking fun.
Shit, it was fucking tight, dude.
I don't know.
I was passing out some Budweiser's and people seem to take them.
You go, all right, well, fuck, yeah, can't be wrong.
Well, those are the fourth of July people. OK.
No doubt.
And hopefully they pass out.
Ashlyn hard seltzers.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I need a hard out.
Or they're they're passing out Malibu, Splash, passion fruit and coconut.
Do y'all actually maybe that's available.
It's your local CVS.
If you're looking for a hookup at cost money, that's a rum seltzer.
Yeah, that sounds like headache city dot com.
It's pretty sweet. Not a lie.
But if you like sweet.
Yeah, but dude, I'm a rum seltzer.
I might get on.
That sounds kind of good.
I could get into that.
I had a new seltzer at Thanksgiving.
You know, hard rock is making a seltzer.
I saw somebody hard rock, dude.
Fuck, yes.
That shit is queen hard rock.
Get at the pod.
Yeah, it's a headache city.
A lot of seltzers besides Ashlyn give me headaches.
So there's that.
There is. Is there a gin seltzer out there?
Is that is that something?
I'm sure I think we're down.
If we're down to rum, there has to be gin.
Yeah, there has to be a gin, right?
There has to be everything.
They've now done canned everything.
Yeah, like Jack Daniels is canned this fucking can that can that
Tangarees can that it's going down.
People are canning shit now.
Yeah, I had the Tangaree.
I think Joe Jonas, he sends me stuff every now and then.
And that's the gin, the Tangaree one.
Oh, so you a Tangaree guy, Tangaree.
Shout out to Joe.
What are we talking here?
Is that your favorite bro of the Joe's?
Oh, that's a tough one.
I love all the Joe bros so much.
I know you do because the hot one just quit it all.
Right. The hottest sexiest one just like walked away.
Wait, I think Joe's the hottest.
You think Nick is the hottest?
How do you quit being a bro?
Why'd you say Nick?
Why'd you say Nick?
Because it ain't Kevin.
No, Kevin's the hot one.
Well, no, Kevin's the shredder.
I don't think you're I don't think you might have got that mixed up, dude.
I might not know my guys.
Yeah, Kevin is the shredder.
He plays guitar.
He's rock.
I think Nick is known as the hot one over Joe.
Joe is the hot one.
Joe is hot AF.
And then the other one's also there.
No, Kevin rips, dude.
Are they the hottest brothers?
Well, sure, he rips and shreds Blake.
But we're talking about hotness, OK?
Well, they can rip and shred all day.
Solos are hot as solos are hot.
Yeah, shredability is fucking right.
We're talking about where a 14-year-old girl would rank that.
Right. Who's OK?
Well, if you're talking 14-year-old girl, I'm talking about grown women.
I'm talking about grown men.
Oh, OK, you're talking grown men.
Who's cockgagging?
I think Joe is the most cockgag.
I want a cockgag, Joe.
Is that how you use it, Durs?
Please explain to me.
That's how you use it.
OK, yeah.
May I listen to your fight?
Any takebacks, apologies, or epic slams for this app?
You got it, Durs.
Oh, yeah, I got it.
Yeah, I have an early apology.
I do.
I do have an early apology.
I clocked it back then.
What, Durs?
What?
I was just going to talk about how hot I thought Nick Jonas was
or wasn't, but go ahead.
I'm sorry, mama.
Nick's cute.
My early apology is to Anders for saying I would fucking
whip your ass or pickleball me.
That was aggressive, and it fucking came back aggressive.
I like it.
It backfired a little bit, but I'm excited to see this match.
I'm more excited not to win or anything, but just to play.
OK?
Oh, my God.
I'm not even guaranteeing.
I don't even think I'll beat you.
But when it happens, it'll just be a thing.
And when you beat me, a dream of mine.
It'll be that, too.
That's right.
That's right.
And one day I will play.
No, Kyle, I beat your ass.
And it is on wax.
We are out here.
I don't give a fuck.
Blake, you beat me once.
You beat me once.
And I had in my head issues that I was stuck on.
Because I was.
Bro, you've got issues for life, brother.
Those ain't got away.
I was pretty cold.
It was at the end of the day.
Issues.
It was at the end of the day.
We had already played two and a half hours.
I was pretty cold.
I also did.
It was cold for me.
And my shoes were a little loose.
OK?
OK.
All right.
What's your footwear?
What are you playing in?
What's your footwear?
I play in pickleball feelers.
I play in Steph Curry's.
Because I remember noting that you had some super dope shoes.
There's actual pickleball shoes?
Yeah.
I got pickle.
I got feelers.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Dude, it's a market, dude.
Jamie Foxx is a genius.
Well, guys, why aren't we heavily invested?
Fila on the dome.
Let's just go all in.
This is what I was saying.
It's too late.
I'll go all in without playing.
No, it kind of is too late.
Dude, Jamie Foxx built a fucking
whole thing on his property.
No, but we need to go play, Jamie Foxx.
Shout out to the best paddle.
I want one.
I want one bad.
Hey, Honduras, guess what?
Ours will be pickleball seltzer.
OK?
Yeah.
It's just seltzer that you drink.
It's pickle juice with pickle juice.
Oh, that's a good.
They already have pickle juice.
Pickle juice is an electrolyte drink.
OK, but this will have alcohol in it.
I know.
I know.
Guys, I'm just saying.
It's like it's 2000 and late a little bit.
It's too late.
It's 2000 and late.
Yeah, it's 2000 and late.
That's fine.
All right, Blake, any takebacks?
Apologies.
Shut up, bitch.
I'll give a special shout out to the Concord Taphouse.
A what out?
Yeah, he has a special shout out.
A little shout out to Concord Taphouse.
He has a shout out.
I had a really great night with Teddy, friend of the pod,
got to get some chicken wings, delicious food.
If you're out in Concord or the Contra Costa area,
check out the Concord Taphouse.
It's a great spot to get a cold brew.
Watch a Warriors game or Sacramento.
Warriors, girl.
Warriors.
Did you teach ever say, Warsh?
Hey, you know what?
Let me do a take back.
I'll do a take back.
I gave pickleball a lot of guff.
I dragged my feet on it as far as it being fun or a legitimate
sport.
And I did it and I had a good time.
And you think it is a legitimate sport now?
I had fun.
It's a good time.
OK, all right.
Ferdinand.
If you play professional pickleball, congratulations.
You weren't good at anything else.
And now you do this.
Do you think like it's at the same level of like a foosball
or darts?
It's like just a kind of a leisure game.
Yes, 100%.
Not a real sport.
Because I was watching at the night and Emma walked in.
She goes, are these people professional?
And I was like, yeah, she goes, and this is it?
This is the thing?
And I was like, mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, OK.
Let's get on the court, though.
Yeah, I know.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I'm not saying it's easy to become a professional.
What I'm saying is that pizza, pizza.
What?
Say it.
Either you have diarrhea or you don't.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And then I was going to take this.
Earlier, I.
What'd you say?
What'd your ass say?
Yeah.
Earlier, I.
It's OK.
Open up.
Sort of.
What's your ass saying?
Stumbled when I was talking.
You guys kind of laid in on me.
And yeah, admittedly, I'm just an idiot sometimes.
And I appreciate you guys.
And thank you for holding me accountable every time I misspeak.
Of course.
For what?
Yeah, what was it like?
He said, like.
I don't know.
I said some shit or I can't remember what the fuck I said.
But you guys kind of went in on.
He said, like, scrunch.
Oh, yeah, that?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it was staunch.
Staunch.
Staunch.
Yeah, yeah.
He said, starch.
Starch.
Starch.
And then I said, stark.
No.
You know what, man?
You were in a parade.
It's OK.
Yeah, dude.
It doesn't matter.
Like, if you don't know that word, if you don't know that word,
but you can perform in a parade, you're fine.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, I guess it's fine.
Also, guys, I'd like to come in here at the end of the episode
and say that I'm thankful for you.
OK?
All three of you guys.
Being a wonderful week, I'm thankful.
We've been doing this for a fucking like two years now.
I'm thankful for the pause.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
We have not been doing this for two years.
We've been doing it for 10 years, motherfucker.
Where were you?
I'm talking about the pod.
I'm talking about the pod.
I know.
He's saying you missed some episodes.
You dipped out for a while, and you were like,
I'm not going to do this anymore.
But you're thankful to be back now.
He's thankful.
So you're thankful to be back?
See, now, this is our Thanksgiving.
They get awkward.
Yeah, what's up?
Are we going political neck?
It's getting political.
It's getting political.
This is why I like Halloween.
All I'm saying is you were like,
we've been doing this for two years.
You dipped out for months.
Wait, what the fuck, bro?
So you're thankful to be back?
Let's air this out, doggy.
What's up, man?
You're not that guy.
There's no air, but you just say, we've been doing this.
And I'm like, there's some dirt here.
All right, guys, we're getting political.
We're drinking rum seltzer.
Hey, either way, I gagged you guys cock.
I gagged you guys.
Thank you all for it.
I'm not saying I won't gag on your cock.
No, Ders, Ders, do you gag Kyle's cock or not?
Yes, of course.
Oh, of course.
Yes.
I'm thankful for that.
You know that.
I'm thankful for the way that my cock gets gagged.
And I'm thankful that, hang on, let me see.
What?
And look, I don't think I'm gagging.
Weird, wild strad.
I don't think I'm causing any gags,
but I'll gag on yours.
Okay, well, that's fine.
Anyway, still thankful for you guys.
Thankful for the pod.
Thankful for our listeners.
I'm thankful too.
It's here for you whenever you want to do it.
That's all I was gonna say.
I want to thank the nation.
I did hear a few, I heard a few,
this is important from the parade route,
which was very good.
Oh, nice, that's great.
That's good.
Well, that's huge.
That's huge.
Yeah, and those are major.
Huge, huge fans of this is important out there
on the parade route as well.
Love it.
Bumper in Berlin.
What do you guys think about doing a very calm ending
to the show?
A what?
I like that, a calm ending.
A very calm ending to the show.
Just this episode for once, instead of singing it,
we just kind of say like,
and that was another episode of?
Of, of, this is important.
This is important, this is important.
It really is.
I didn't like it.
Hahahaha.
Hahahaha.
