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 unusual questions like, can we create new senses for humans? 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 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 radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about

what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important... Oh my fucking god, I love those pellets, dude, with some roof here. I'll show you pictures of naked women. That sounds gross as fuck to me, dude. Motherfucker, when was the last time you've had an RC Cola? Let's go! Nice. Nice. Oh, hell yeah, baby. Whoa, that's... is that loud? Is that really loud for everyone, or just me? It's the right of the spot for me. Give me, give me, boy.

It's pretty nice. It hits hard. Wake up, bro. It's very loud, but it is hitting hard right now. Damn right, man. I need my boys up. It's aggressive. Adam, do you need an alarm clock? We've got an AM call. Nah, dawg. No?

You don't have any good, bro? What's going on? Adam's coming in with some star-studded qualities this morning. Yeah, I like this. What's going on, bro? Yeah, how are we? He just seems checked out. Is star-studded checked out? I just want to talk about the movie, and I got reprimanded right before the podcast, dude. Do not come.

I just wanted to tell jokes about the movie. No, no. I said, let's not do jokes from the movie, from the script. Oh, right. Actual dialogue. So we are writing a workaholics movie, spoiler alert, and I love Durst's writing, and sometimes I quote his writing, and he's mad at me. I think it's a... Donkey!

I think it doesn't do us any favors. I gotta keep it a honey. I don't think it matters, but I respect you, Durst. So... Yeah, no. Say them all. Go for it. Let's do it, man. No, don't. Don't.

Don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to come back. I don't want to... No, keep him under wraps. I don't want to hear. Say them all. Keep him under wrap.

Yeah, say them all. Okay. No, don't. Don't. We'll start at the beginning. Please don't. Wow, dude. Dude?

Man, I forgot him. Now he forgot him. Funny how that works. Come on, now. So what's up? Good morning, gentlemen. Hey, and Adam, Adam, it's not reprimanding. That's just working together.

That's just making suggestions. That's just trying to be helpful. I like this. Okay. No one's in charge of you. No one's punishing you. No, it's just... I said, how about we try and not do jokes

from the movie script? And nobody else had a problem with it. Why'd you have a problem with it, pal? Because I was the one who said the joke, and then you got upset. I like this. Also, I'm not really upset right now, dude. It's weird that you're getting so buttered by it.

I'm liking this. Yeah. Hey, I'm just asking questions, looking for answers. Right. I'm just trying to function, dude. Because he did phrase it like that. He did phrase it. I'm just trying to find out why you think

it was you being reprimanded. Why? Okey-dokey. Just like they said, let's not say any phone numbers this episode. Is that a reprimand? I don't feel reprimanded. I feel like that's a good suggestion. Yeah, we had no idea.

And that shit went wrong for that one person. Oh, yeah. Did she DM you? She said it ruined her life. Yeah, she had a bad day. She had a bad day. Yeah, she got ripped up by that. I think other people brought it to my attention,

or maybe it was Blake. Yeah, she has an awesome phone number. So I don't even remember what we said exactly. We just said a fake number and said it was our number, and then as if we share one number, is that what happened? Well, don't we? We do. We have a hotline.

Well, yes. And it is our hotline. Yeah, I think, unfortunately or fortunately, this person has an amazing phone number. And we said that phone number on the pod, and she got blown up. Although she did say she now hates podcasts, because many podcasts have said her phone number

as like a joke, and then she gets blown up. Is that right? Yeah, we were like the third one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's weird. Oh, man. But it's a sick phone number, and she goes, I'm not giving it up.

That's good. Well, I got to go back and listen to that episode, because I do not remember the number that we said. Yeah, they might have edited it out. I think it's been. What would you think it is? My guess is it's 187, 420, 69, 69. And if it's not that, I don't want it, dude.

Is 187 an area code? But that is our number. 187. Feel free to give that one. 187. That's the hotline. 187 was the number. Now this person's going to get blown up for sure.

Hey, guys, please don't call. Please don't call. Well, if you have that number, you're, I mean, either you're the coolest guy alive, or this has already happened to you to the point that you got a new number. Does somebody have the 187 area code? I don't think 187 is a real area code, is it?

No, I don't think so. I bet our producers are going to find out. Let's see. I'll do a little Google. But yeah, when you're at AT&T or the Verizon store, and they're like, so here's the numbers we have, and you are offered that, you got to sit with that for a second before you go,

I'm going to commit to this lifestyle. Yeah, you have to. Wait, so producers, is 187 an area code? No, it doesn't seem like it's an area code. No, it's illegal. It's a penal code. It's a penal. And we all know that.

It's a penal code. Penal code? I feel like you can't. Not penal, dude. It's a penal code. Yeah, it's a reference to the law code. Penal code, 187. In the law code of the state of California.

Yeah, which is murder, right? It's homicide. 187. Murder was the case that you gave me. I didn't know those codes were called penal code. I figured, isn't penal like once you're in jail? That's penile. I think you have to do penal because it's a penal T, right?

It's a penal T. You're penalized. Like a penalty is a continuation of that word. I don't fucking know. Real man of genius. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah.

And what's the code? Yes. What's a code? I promised myself I wasn't going to say anything dumb this episode, so I'm just not talking. Yeah. Good luck. What was so cool about that episode where we were talking

about Norway and like, no, it was the Netherlands and none of us knew shit. I talked with Isaac afterwards and he was like, it was crazy. Like I literally didn't know you guys were that stupid. Like you, like that was wild. Like you guys are really dumb. And I'm like, because he's really dumb,

it would, it actually hurt my feelings. We just, we need to go on trips. Don't have seven names for your one country though. Like don't be the Dutch from Holland, also known as the Netherlands. It's too, it's too crazy. It's too much. Yeah.

Right. Yeah, that's true. I know Amsterdam. That's it. Hey, we kept it simple over here in America. We're Americans. Okay. That's right.

Damn right. Yep. Get her down. But that being said, if Dutch is kind of a cool name, like for your people, Dutch, that's kind of a type. Dutch is tight and Holland days. I'm naming my first child Dutch. No matter.

Dutch is a great movie starring Ed O'Neill. Yes it is. For my boy Ed O'Neill. Ethan Embry, I believe. Didn't they show like, they had like nude playing cards and that stopped my heart as a child. Yeah. It's a fantastic shot.

It's like a close-up of like a wiggling it up. He's like, check this out. It was like, huh? Yeah. And it was just like, you see a booby. And I remember being like, I don't know, probably what nine or 10 and just my heart stopped, dude. Do not come.

That doesn't happen to kids anymore, right? And what was cool is the whole idea is that a new boyfriend of a kid's mom is sent to pick him up and drive him home from prep school for Thanksgiving. And to like, get him to follow the rules. He's like, I'll show you pictures of naked women. Oh, that's how he baits them? They've never met.

And I'm like, how do you do this now? Can you make this movie? Can you? Yeah, I mean, dude, kids are horny, right? Yeah, kids are still really horny. But kids are still horny. Like kids are horny. I don't know if the stepdad.

But now they have porno in their pocket. Yeah, that's true. Kyle, they don't need, they don't need a deck of cards. The movie wouldn't make any sense. Oh, so the problem is logic that the kid would be like, fuck your card. I got hardcore porno in my pocket. It's a logic bomb.

Yeah, it's like, I've got porno right here in my pocket. Do you think horniness levels have dipped? No. Do you think we are from peak horniness, and now they've dipped down? Oh, I guess maybe. Aren't they saying that like the youngest generation disnew? What is it?

What do they call them, the generation after millennials? Generation. What? Generation. Z, it's Z now. Z, yeah, Z, you're right. They're saying that they like have the least amount of sex, they smoke the least, they do the least drugs,

and then they also drink. They don't drink, right? They don't drink. So then they're fucking horny as shit. So we were the last, millennials were the last cool, and they don't have sex. They have sex less than the millennials, and then less than Gen Z.

Yeah, I would say they're just afraid to act on their horniness because they're on their phones all fucking day. They don't know how to interact. We were the last cool generation, boys. We were cool, yeah. Sorry about it. Yeah, but for a long time, I didn't drink smoke or have sex either.

I'm like right there with them. Right. Yeah, but you're still trying to be Gen Z right now, dude. You're trying to, you're trying to young down. Yeah, that's, that's actually on brand for the teenager. Yeah, bro. You're on brand by just staying. Yeah, you're on brand for, for your clothing company,

board teenager. You were Gen Z when we were all millennials. Yeah, Blake is getting younger. And that's cool. Hey, and that's, that's why we keep you around. Just to be like, what's the new hit band? Wait, there's not any bands anymore? Hey, Blake, show that t-shirt off.

Yeah, baby. Yeah, Blink-182 starring us. Still sold out. You still can't get it. Still sold out. Yeah. Oh, it was a limited drop, dog. No restock?

Yeah, you got it. They're not going to just dump that in Hot Topic. You got to be quick. Hot dog, gotta be quick. Hot dog is. Hot topic. You're not going to drop it and hot dog it. Yeah, so it's a Blink-182 shirt that,

what does it say on the back? I miss the old Blink-182. I think so. I like. I think it says I like. Oh, I like the old Blink-182. And then it's photos of us. And that's an official merch drop from the band, Blink-182.

Pretty freaking sick. They reached out to us, which was a, a true highlight of my life, as a millennial. As a millennial, yes. Yeah, I know they sing about, they sing, they sing about all the small things. This for us, that's a big thing. That was a big thing.

All the big things. Yes, points. I mean, I've told you guys that I played that song when I lost my virginity, all the small things. Without being ironic and did not think about it before putting it on. And then in the moment, yeah. And then in the moment, I said,

I realized what was happening. And she wasn't really paying attention to the song. And then I said, more like all the medium things. Am I right? So stupid. Yes, points. She's like, is he talking about my breasts? Exactly.

She's like, does he talk about my boobs? Like, yeah, she stopped. She's like, what? And I'm like, like, what? Am I wearing a medium sweatshirt? More like all the, all the medium things. And she's like, and I'm like the song. And she goes, oh, it like, it didn't, I'll say it didn't land.

Did you say my dick? Did you say your dick? Yes, yes. You did. Okay, okay. I did, I did. I like the song. I'm talking about my dick.

And she was like, oh. Right. Okay. Yeah. Are you done? Yeah, for sure. Medium, I guess. I don't know.

This is my first time having sex too. Are we doing this right? Yeah. Man, cool. Have you, have you, I know you probably haven't seen this person for a long time, but soon after like, when you would go back between college or vacations, did you ever run in? Should I tell everyone her phone number? Yeah, dude.

Yeah, let's give her a buster. Let's talk. Did you ever run in this person and be like, do you remember when that happened and that song came on? And she was, did you ever breach broach? Breach. I don't know if I ever talked with her about that. No.

I mean, we dated for a few years. Okay. Yeah. So no, we, she was like my girlfriend and we dated like into college. Was it a running gag in your relationship? It was. Gag? Gagged.

Did she gag on that? There's no gagging. It was a running gag, man. She wishes. Yeah, she wishes it, what? She wishes. No, I think I, I think I never said that ever again. And the next time I told that story, I believe was on a Comedy Central,

the Comedy Central had that show, the goddamn comedy jam. Secret girlfriend? Secret girlfriend. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember that? And they would like have comedians come on and tell a story about the song that they're singing and then a band would come out and perform. Right.

Yes. It was, it was cool. And it was like a comedy special. And I accidentally slipped and said her full name. Let's go. She called me the next day and I didn't even, or like after it aired and was like, yo, what the fuck, dude? Like, what are you doing?

You're putting my name and I'm like, yeah, that is my bed. So you have talked to her? Was it live? You didn't call back to be like, and let's edit out the name? I didn't even think about it twice. I just said it. And what about your management? Your management didn't flag that?

No, my management did not. He was looking up where Holland was. He was like, is Holland the Netherlands or is that? Mr. Holland's Opus. Yeah, is it Holland Day's Sauce? Is that where it comes from? That's the thing about when we doxed and when you're giving out, whenever you dox people, we have like four people listening to us talk at all times.

That they're supposed to be catching these things, right? Nah, dude. Hey, and like, what does dox mean? Yeah. As a, as an elder millennial, I am not a totally sure what dox means. Well, you know, that's like when you give out somebody's like information publicly and then like, say you could give out their address or their name or their telephone number. They handle this.

You say, hey, crowd, handle this. Why? And why is it called? Dox. Yeah, why dox? Why dox? That's a great question. Let's talk to Webster.

I'm not allowed to say anything stupid this podcast, so I don't know. Did, well, did Isaac call you and say, hey, you were really stupid? Yeah, he only checks on Blake. He only drove. Hey, just so you know, you came off as really stupid. You're legit losing roles. I expect more. You blacklisted yourself.

Hollywood doesn't want to fuck with you anymore because of how stupid you were on that last podcast. Okay. You're legit coming off really, really dumb. Who's going to read this? It's really long. Okay. Oh, I got it. It originates from a spell read.

I got it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it says it originates from a spell read. Sorry. I didn't know you put it in the chat. I was reading. I got it as I'm already reading it.

All right. Sure. Hey, I got it. I didn't know it's in the chat. I'm not even looking at the screen. Sorry. Kyle loves to read about it. It originates from a spelling alteration of the abbreviation docs or documents and refers to

compiling and releasing a dossier of personal information on someone. Sorry, I asked. Essentially, essentially, doxing is revealing and publicizing the records of an individual which were previously private or difficult to obtain. I was going to read that. Yeah, but you were going so slow, dude. You have to popcorn, Kyle. Yeah, you were hogging, dude.

Yeah, you were really hymming and hawing. I should have called popcorn or Adam. Popcorn, Adam. That would have been good. Popcorn, Adam. Did you guys ever do that? What does that mean? You never did that?

I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, oh, really? I'm like, well, he just stopped talking. You guys sometimes will go into childhood speak. You don't remember popcorn? This is like when you're reading in school. Like if it was like, hey, can you read page 69 in your notebook and then you read a paragraph?

Or in the textbook. And then you read a paragraph and then you say, okay, I'm done with my paragraph. So the way that you call somebody else out, you say popcorn, Blake. And then Blake gets to read. Yes. It was when you were reading aloud in class. You didn't have to read aloud in class. No, the teacher just told would be like, okay, Adam reads now.

But then what happens when you get to the end? You stop talking. Have you ever done that before? Yeah, then you stop talking and then the teacher talks. I haven't personally. No. You should try that. Wait, I do love that you guys obviously went to school together growing up.

And so your world is like, yeah, everybody. And we don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That's why I love us. It sounds fun. Yeah. Jersey and I went out in the world and met other people. Oh, we're us. Yeah.

The other people were you two. Yeah. Yeah. And then that's it. Then we kept you around for 20. Yeah, we're so different. Was it one specific class or was it at our entire like school district that made every teacher say pop mandated mandated from the top town?

Yeah, it's mandated. I think it was part of the curriculum. Yes. You have to do popcorn in your class. I don't know. Maybe it was like, I don't know why the fuck I know that and you know that and these guys don't. That's why Adam jokes from the movie. Please.

Please. Don't. Okay. I'll take it back. Dude, the popcorn active. Just start doing jokes from the movie. I feel like they're not. They're not thinking back hard enough though.

I feel like this is universal and they're they just missed it or something. Yeah, I got none of the producers chiming in. But so docs is dox from doc s which is like revealing documents. Okay. Yes. I read that. This is a thing people do. Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh huh. Uh huh. Sorry. And this what do they call it? Thank you. And what do they call it when they send the SWAT team? Is that calling being called swatted?

Yes, dude. So yeah, but you have to do that. That wouldn't work for us because we we don't do it this shit live. You know, I feel like that only works with like streamers. Right. Well, it it works. As far as someone's going to try now. What is this?

What? No, it would work. It would work. You guys could do it. Please don't. We really appreciate it. I know what SWAT it is. I know what it is.

Okay, SWAT. SWAT it is when you it's like if someone's like gaming and they're live streaming playing their game, you're you can call the SWAT team on them. Like if you know their address and they will the SWAT team will show up. Which is obviously super illegal to do and you could get in all kinds of trouble. But what are you doing? You're lying to the SWAT team. Yeah.

So I wouldn't even do it. You are lying. Yes. And then and then like you're on your you you literally watch the guy as like the SWAT team breaks in and like points guns in their face. Yeah. But what you're saying you're acting like a SWAT team is like Uber Eats. Like they actually are.

And here's why. It's actually a cool app. Like how do you just how do you just click on the SWAT team? People call 911 and say, Hey, I just saw someone building a fucking bomb. A bomb. Yeah. Cleaning guns outside of the school. Right.

And they have to take every single call super seriously. They can't be like. Of course. Of course. They can't say are you Josh? If you if you say something. Yeah. I feel like there needs to be a level of are you Josh and like at the police station.

There has to be. This is that's a SWAT team. I think if you you just have to be a really good actor. You have to be like oh my god. But also they know. Oh my god. Jesus. Where'd Adam go?

Who's this kid now? We. We 16. Cleaning bombs. Did you say oh my word? He said oh my word. He did. I think he he said oh my word.

I think it's real. Yeah. Oh my word. 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. If you're looking for someone to help you unpack Queen Charlotte a Bridgerton story, you're in the right place. It's me, Gabby Collins.

Come with me because on Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, we're stepping behind the scenes and the drawing boards of this team to experience the life breathed into the Bridgerton prequel. Listen to the leaps executive producer and series director Tom Verica took to capture the feeling that's put that lump in your throat. And you've got to catch creator Shonda Rhimes. She's dropping gems, diamonds, and mics. On this podcast, we're going beyond the basic line of questioning and getting to the

heart of the show, all while appreciating the contributions of the show's creative teams and remarkable cast. Go inside each episode of Queen Charlotte a Bridgerton story with the creatives, the cast, and creator Shonda Rhimes leading the way. Listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, Thursdays on the iHeart radio app. Apple podcasts or anywhere you get your podcasts. That's got to be hard to get the fucking swat sent to you. You have to be super convincing or not.

I kind of don't think so, dude. You're like, you just go, yo, yo, anonymous tip. They're making bombs. They're making bombs. They're like, is this pizza Steve? Look, pizza Steve just called pizza Steve. Yeah. And also, what's the come down from it?

Do they come? Oh, my God, pizza Steve just called. Dude, what's the come down? Does this twitch stay on to see the diffusing of the situation? Like, does the swat go, oh, boy, not again. I'm sure. Yeah, it's all that. I'm sure it sucks.

I'm sure it sucks. But I also, what do you think happens afterwards? Like, if they have the number of who called? Is it afterwards different than the come down? I thought we were just explaining the come down, which I feel like is the afterwards. That's a little different. Well, the come down is live streamed.

The afterwards is like, wait, who called us and pranked us? I'm learning something new every day. Now, is that the afterwards or is that the, that almost feels like the aftermath? Oh, the shady aftermath. Oh, the shady aftermath. Okay, cool. So the aftermath, right?

You're right. As a millennial, I say aftermath. Thank you. Right, you're right. Hold up. You're right. You're right. You're right.

You're right. So the aftermath, when they're doing the math and they're like calling us. They're crunching the numbers, right? Whose phone was this? This is now the afterwards math. And also what you could only get swatted once in your life, right?

If the swat keeps showing up to the same house. No, you can't. Because then if you're a terrorist, right? If I was going to be a terrorist, if I would say, hey, hey, swap me. And then like I'm free and clear to do whatever the fuck I want. Oh, and then you're immune from swats. You got to always be thinking like a terrorist.

Yeah. Hey, can't stop. Won't stop. Allegedly. There's is always thinking like, well, I'm just trying to keep America safe. Yeah. So that's, that's really fucked up.

Like imagine. Fuck yeah. You swat someone and then something happens and they murder someone. You know what I mean? They go in and they kill somebody. Say it. Right.

I mean, here we go. We got something coming in. But for sure. Oh, here's some aftermath. Or like fucking kid is like sitting by the front door when they get down, you know? Oh, yeah. Get to Diana.

Feel free to popcorn at any time reading this. Are you want to start? Go for it. OK. In March 2019, a California man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for carrying out a fatal 2017 swatting. This is sad. Popcorn at him.

Swatting carries a high risk of violence and causes tax dollars to be wasted by the city and county when responding to a false report of a serious law enforcement emergency. Donkey. Popcorn. Anders. OK.

Yes. A hard word. I wasn't reading. All right. Where did you finish? Emergency. Law enforcement. Emergency.

Please stop in a comma. You're not supposed to stop in a comma. Oh, Derz. This is Derz in school. I, dude, I could already see you. Derz, wouldn't have made it. Oh, yeah. You stop.

Wait. Sorry. Just to be clear, you did stop in the middle of a sentence, right? He did. He did. I did. That's not allowed. Oops.

But I thought you could popcorn at any moment. I didn't know. No. You're supposed to popcorn. God, I've seen our high school experience right now and I'm really liking it. I'm sorry. Hey, Mrs. Anderson.

I didn't know. You guys wouldn't have made it a freaking week in the Mount Diablo School District. I'll tell you that right now. OK. Yeah. OK. Probably true.

You don't have. They didn't popcorn Blake, OK? Thank you. It popcorn Anders. Here we go. So in California, swatters bear the full cost of the response, which can lead to fines up to $10,000. What?

If great bodily injury or death occur as a result of the swatting, dude. What? Dude. Popcorn me. By the way, it's up to $10,000. I feel like it should be way more. Yeah.

Yeah. What the hell? $100,000. Dude. $10,000? I feel like. Yeah. We got that.

Why does it? Yeah, it says yeah. So what? So what? Are we going to swat each other? Because we know each other's addresses. Oh my god. You want to do it?

No, no. This is, it says full cost and $10,000 fines on top of the full cost. So you have to pay for the resources and you get fine. How much does the swat showing up cost? Oh my god. Well, you got to thank all the gas to get there. There's so much.

A lot of gas. The snacks. Those trucks, those trucks are diesel. They're got snacks. Yeah, diesel. And all the snacks that the swatting guys have to snack. Swatting guys, the swatting dudes.

When they're in the back of the truck watching all the surveillance, they are snacking, dude. I'm talking Chex mix. I'm talking banana chips. I got to imagine there's also an ambulance and EMTs on call just in case shit goes down, right? Absolutely. Yep.

If shit really gets popping, probably a fire engine. Well, who gets this kind of fine and has to pay this all the time is fucking Steve-O because he goes out and does those pranks and then he knows and he calculates the cost that it's going to be to get the fire truck. Wow, dude. Well, he doesn't do swatting.

No, no, no. But he'll put himself on a billboard or whatever and then the fire truck and cops and EMTs, they all show up. So what do you know the inside scoop? Like how much that, for instance, costs? No, he's just letting us know that you know who knows about it. Steve-O. Who cares?

I know. I don't know the number. I was trying to remember, but I was like, well, we can reach out to him and figure it out. Maybe we'll see. Yeah, text him right now. Okay, Steve-O, see if we get something back. Hey, Steve-O, what's the average cost of taping yourself

to a billboard? Good to do that. And how do you think that would translate to a swatting per dollar? I don't know. It probably double or triple is my educated guess. It ain't educated. You think that swatting costs more than a billboard stuff? Oh, yeah.

Well, I think you're getting the billboard stunt plus the SWAT team. You're getting everybody. Who cares? Thank you. Do you have to pay the like what? It's economics. The economics of jackass.

Like the cost of the SWAT team, like do you have to pay their salary? No. Well, maybe. I don't know. You've got to pay the cost of, because I don't know if the, some places the SWAT team is like on call.

I would hope so. Right. So I don't think they get paid and let, no, no, no, I mean like there's not a SWAT team. They're not just sitting in a office waiting to be. Until they get called or summoned or whatever and then they come together. They're at their like kid's soccer match

and they're in target, buying deodorant. And they just have to drop everything that they're doing. Like Armageddon or like they're all getting the call. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. Great moment. Yeah, that is.

I love those moments. Ving Michael Clark and Michael Clark and what do we call it? No, I can't remember. Michael Clark Duncan was on like the motorcycle like, this movie is fun. Yeah, we need to write a movie where we get the call. Yeah. I want to be in a movie where I get the call

and have to drop what I'm doing. What movies? I know. Macroober. Macroober is a good one. Macroober is really, really fucking good. Macroober has, they do a play on it. Right?

Yeah. There is play on it. Yes. It's a nice play. Do you guys know the, I think it's the original. Do you guys know the original of we're summoning all the dudes? What's your Doby Gillis? Doby Gillis.

Was it like 18 or some shit? No, no, it's all, it's older and it's not even American. Okay. What are you saying, Mr. Belvedere? Are you talking like some old show we don't know about? Mr. Bean. No, no, I like this. It's Mr. Bean.

Is it Mr. Bean? Mr. Bean. Where's it from? It's the Seven Samurai. Okay. Right. Yeah. A movie I've never seen.

I, by the way, it takes forever to get, to, to gather the homies. Oh yeah. That's like, because you got to get like the pigeon, right? Or something. Say what? What's the call? Because there's no fun. There's a village getting, well, okay.

I was like the pigeon. Wait, what? I don't know what we're talking about. Is that all a homing pigeon? Like you put a note on them? I don't like no pigeons. Okay. Yes, you son of a bitch.

What are you, I'm not saying anything stupid today. Well, you are. You are Blake. Yeah. It just comes out naturally stupid, Blake. But there's a village being terrorized by these people. And they're like, yo, we need somebody to fucking help us. And they go to all these other people to like,

hey, will you come help us protect our village? And like, it takes forever. The movie is super long. And then by the time they get everyone, the village is just destroyed. Because they like went around. Sorting for it. They waited too long. Yeah, that's a good thing.

They waited too long. They're like, they're currently burning the village to the ground. And they go from village to village, finding samurais? Yeah, seven. How about three, man? Can we just get three? You gotta hurry. Yeah, just stop at three and go fight.

You three, come with me. Nah, man, we need at least four more grids. Okay, on to the next village. No, it's dope because for every dude that they pick up, there's like a little tiny story that happens where like you see their like strength, right? They're like the thing they can do. Right.

And then when they get there, they like rope it all together and like this dude does that. The guy is sick. And then what is the magnificent seven? Is like that's the cowboy version. They ripped it off. And then what is the other one? The Ridiculous Six.

Three amigos, of course. The Hateful Eight. The Ridiculous Six. Six, yeah. Hateful Eight. The Hateful Eight, they all just show up though. They don't go get anybody. They just kind of come in.

It's definitely a no for me, dawg. It's kind of wandering. Okay. They have mosey a lot there. Yeah, they're just kind of wandering. I'm a big Randy Jackson guy. Uh, well, Samurai. What was it Samurai Seven?

I don't know if I've seen it. The Seven Samurai. The Seven Samurai. It's dope. It's Kurosawa. That's right. Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's black and white.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I think I've seen that movie. It's hell long. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. It's crazy. It's hell long because they gotta rope all those Samurais. If they just got three Samurais, you're in and out in 90 minutes.

Yeah, we could cut that down. We could get a super cut. Yeah, you could cut down almost any old movie. How about we just do a movie called The Three Samuch Guys? There's only three of us. We work together at a sandwich company. What? Like a really, like a really fat guy comes into a sandwich shop and we're like,

we have to go find, we need more help. Let's say there's a, we're at a mall. We work at a sandwich place at a mall and like there's another store in the mall that's getting like ransacked and they need to gather up three sandwich guys. Not to be confused with Samurais. Right. You have to always say it like sandwich. I'm like, hey, I'm listening.

And I'm going to say that more with our individual skill set and we help. I'm listening. Oh, so one person's like really good at like toasting. I'm really good at spreading the mayonnaise. All right. You're good at like cutting. Do not cut. Spread that mayonnaise.

Somebody's good with like the knives, cutting the meats. That comes in handy. Oh, no more Mr. Knife Guy. Somebody bakes the bread. Oh, and you definitely have to say that a lot, Blake. No more Mr. Knife Guy. Who brought the knife guy? Have a knife guy.

And then there's one guy who you don't think has a skill, but he just eats a lot. And then guess what? He eats one of the thieves. He eats an entire thief. Oh, so it's been like, it's been like, there's thieves. I was just, well, my pictures were ransacking a village. They were run. I thought they were running.

I thought they were running out of business. I thought they just needed to make good sandwiches. I'm listening. I thought, I thought they like didn't have enough sandwich guys. So they had to go get more sandwich guys to come in and work to shift because they got the tastiest mayonnaise. But also that works. That's a, that could be a version.

Yeah. Very shagged yelling. That's a good low stakes version. I like that. I think that's an indie film. Let's keep it around it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Go shoot it in a couple of days. We're good, man. I know my hecking me in the stars dancing in the clouds. Let's keep this sandwich comedy rounded. Yeah. Let's just, they're having trouble selling sandwiches. Please.

Dude, you lost me when you said, when you said mall. I'm like, yo, homie, those don't even exist anymore. I know as millennials we have an affection for malls, but these Gen Zers, they don't even know what that is. Are you sure about that? They're not going to the mall. Are we sure about that? What's cool is we're so old.

We don't know. Yeah. We're sure they're not going to the mall. The malls are still around though. They're holding up. No, they're going to the mall. Well, cause malls like straight up don't exist. There's not even a mall in Charleston.

There's not a mall here. No shit. Was there ever? Yes. And we shoot at it. It is, we shoot at where the mall was. Fuck, you guys get guns and you go shoot at it. We shoot with the righteous gemstones at the mall.

We took over like the Sears. Right. It has become like a warehouse. That's awesome. And now it's our studio. Sorry. Sears went out of business. That's different.

Yeah. But then you walk through the mall and it's like, there's so many stores that are closed. It's like, it's desolate. That is so fucking cool. I had no idea that you had, you shoot in a refurbished mall. That's creepy. It's dope. Yeah.

Guys, that's creepy. That makes sense. And then in Omaha, our local mall shut down. It's just like big and empty and they're talking about making it like, they're talking about making it in the condos, which would be fucking bizarre. Pizza, pizza. They're turning everything into condos. How do you even shop at a condo?

Yeah. Thank you, Anders. But here's my question. Where has all the shopping gone just online? Because I know like Amazon, when you think about LA even, there are certain areas that like pop off for like four or five years and then it rotates to another place, right? Like, fair facts.

I remember when the Beverly Center was like the shit when I moved to LA. Melrose is really popular and then Beverly Center and then people are at the Grove and then people are on Robertson or whatever. Right. Yeah. So like, I know that you're the mall, you're talking about empty, but is there a new shopping district? So that's Rodeo Drive.

Well, there's, yeah, there's like an outside kind of mall now. Right. Those are hot. Which in Nebraska, that really doesn't make any sense because it's cold as fuck. Right. It's so cold. For like nine months out of the year. It's so cold there.

Check the runs of prices. You get a cheap cup of chili if you. Eight degrees, eight cents, maybe. Eight cents. The closest mall we had was an outdoor mall and I, it was a fucking nightmare. Why? Why was it? It works in warm climates like in California.

I was amazed when I went to and I'm like, oh, the mall, when I saw school, schools were outdoors. I was like, yeah, I, that blew my mind when you watch like Clueless or whatever, being a Midwestern kid. And then you see like these kids are going to school, but they're outside and it's like summer. The outdoor lockers is a trip. Well, that's probably why they were doing popcorn,

because it was just like a better, more fun environment on the west coast. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. For real. 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,

I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home.

What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark, she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me. Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Well, what we do in California that's super sick is like the fake snow in the outdoor malls. Oh, yeah, we do. Or they'll just dump a bunch of like fake snow.

That shit is cool, dude. I do love that. When Santa's there and they blast that fake snow. And you love it when Santa's there. Is the snow, I've never gone to one of those events. Is it real? It's highly toxic. Wait, have you never gone to the Grove when they shoot the snow?

I feel like that was the thing that we used to do. Was that just me and you, Adam? That was us. I feel me and you, we were Grove boys. I still love the fuck with the Grove, dude. I gotta get over that, dude. I gotta go hit that all year farmers market. People do know what the Grove is because they broadcast like extra live from the Grove, right?

No. It's like Mario Lopez's like deep ass dimple broadcasting live from the Grove. Yeah. Yeah. I want to say that, yeah, AC Slater's out there. Well, the Grove is like Los Angeles, one of the most well-known outdoor malls. And it's designed flawlessly.

It feels like Disneyland when you're there. It's the kind of design that you wish somebody who designed that took over the city or something. Yeah, you wish she was the mayor, which he ran as the Los Angeles, he lost, right? Right, he lost, yeah. I never heard like that was weird. It took a while to count those votes. I never heard who the fuck actually won. Blake, hey, buddy, you're stepping in it.

You're stepping in it. You said you weren't going to say anything to him, dude. I'm telling you currently. Well, dude, now you know you go, you vote in the fucking, you're supposed to get the results the next day. It takes too long. I lose interest. I'm like, I don't even give a fuck who won at this point.

Wait, what? It took two weeks? I don't even give a fuck. I want next day results. I agree. I'm with you. I understand that. But absolutely.

Yeah. It was heated in LA. I don't know if people outside of LA understand the hot, hot heat. I did not catch any of this. We weren't in Los Angeles. So I didn't really know the, but people were real riled up on the internet. You'd see.

My favorite thing. So this guy, Rick Caruso, who designed the Grove or designed it, whatever he developed it. Yes. Did he design the Americana as well? Developed Americana. Who cares? Everyone was like, what do you want LA to become like the Grove?

I'm like, as opposed to what? It's weird. Look at, look at, look at Rodeo Drive. I don't know. What do you? I personally really like the Grove, but some people hate the Grove. Some people are like, the Grove. I fucking hate it there.

And I'm like, oh, well, I think it's incredible. Like I truly love it. Blake hates the Grove, right? Yeah. But I guess I'm just kind of like, what do you, what do you want it to be? What's your idea of LA? Does it have to stay exactly what it is now? Can you not accept like time happening and things change?

And by the way, I'm not even a Caruso guy, but you are, bro. The idea that someone's like, do you want LA to become the Grove? I'm like, look, clean. Yeah. I thought that was a weird, I was like, you just explain his politics and if his politics suck, then fuck him. But I thought it was a weird leg to stand on because I personally would love if LA was the Grove. The Grove is the fucking best.

But also how can you, that, that seems like a, doesn't that seem like a weird leap? What do you want, a fountain places? I do. I want beautiful fountains. I want like a band to be playing in the streets. Like they'll just have a band with like a violinist. I want Hillary Duff. Yeah.

I want a Hillary Duff performance randomly. We, we have fountain places already and no one shits on them. I don't know anything about this, but it feels like a weird leap to go from, hey, you designed this thing. Now you're going to turn our city into this thing. It's not a shopping mall. And maybe you will. The city's not a shopping mall.

That's true too. Thank you, Kyle. I just want to make that clear. Not if Rick Caruso got his hands on it, it would be. But that feels so like a weird leap. I don't know. It doesn't feel logical. By the way, it's super embarrassing for him to lose to like just be like,

you know what, I'm going to get into politics and not win. You got to, you kind of got to win that one. Yeah. Well, for sure. You do get the votes, man. I'm sorry. Thank you, Blake. Thank you for explaining that.

Don't want to make it. Did you did it? Did you finally get to the end of it, Blake? Did you wait the two weeks? Real man of genius. What I'm saying is if you're in politics, you are constantly doing this, right? So if you lose one, you lose one, you can probably get back.

You reposition yourself. But if you're not in politics and then you decide to get into it and then you lose, it's like, you lose. You came in thinking you could win, obviously, from outside of politics. And then it was like, no. Yeah. And producer Anna is saying that he spent $100 million

of his own money to run his campaign. That is wild. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, it costs so much. Well, that's a marketing campaign. It costs so much. Dude, that's like so many posters.

Yes, that is a marketing campaign. It is. That's so many street teams going out at night and putting up his posters. Yeah. That's fucked up, dude, to lose. That's just people saying they don't like you that much, like to your face.

It was close, by the way. Well, I think it was. It also was because people hate super, super rich people. Eat the rich. Sure. But for good or bad. I think he just is a super, super fucking rich person. And I think people fucking just hate people with too much money.

Sure. It's interesting, right? Because some people get a pass, right? Yeah. Kendall Jenner. She might be richer than this dude, but she gets a pass, right? I don't think people like. I have zero, yeah, I don't know about it.

I don't know. Fuck the Kardashians, but. Nobody likes anybody. Oh. Who do people like? People like you, Blake. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks.

No, he's. No, they don't like Tom Hanks. People don't like Tom Hanks. They turn their back on him. Why? Why did they? Why? What?

He's a bagel. Because. Because you got to pick Chet or Tom. And everyone went Chet. We went Chet, bro. Yeah, fucking. That's the true. If I had to pick between Chet and Tom,

I'm going Chet all the way, dude. Adam, how do you know who won the mayoral race? And you didn't know about the Tom Chet race. Oh, fuck. I'm saying, hey, I've been out of town for too long. Tom Chet. Bro. Is Chet short for something?

Is Chet like a short name? Chester. Is it Chester? Chester. I don't know. Chet. I don't know the. Is it one of those nicknames where it's just

comes from Stanley, but it's Chet? Where you're like, how's that work? Right. Chet. Chet. Chet. Chet's a fucking cool name. It is Chester.

Chester. It's Chester. I got that. Thank you. I'm not saying dumb things today. Blake, point yourself. All right. Give yourself points.

So it's not Stanley. Okay. Hold on. Hold for points. Yes, points. Also, Chester is a cool fucking way cooler than Chet. Like infinitely cooler than Chet. 100%.

It's not that tough sounding though. Chester sounds very like a little British boy to me. That's what's not tough about a British boy. Yeah, but you know what's tough? Looking his like 28 inch arms. Like that's the play off play opposite of. Is he jacked? Oh, he's so jacked, dude.

Chet hates us. Uh, he's getting there for sure. Adam's done the work. I don't know who won the race. Oh, his eyes are blue. So he knows about the Chet race. He was playing us this whole time. No, I follow Chet.

I thought he was like a dancer type lean, dude. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You got to check out new Chet. He's fully reinvented himself. Chester. His name is Chester. I wish you went by Chester. I think that's tight.

I actually think that's a harder name. Chester Hanks. Yeah. Yeah. Chester Hanks works. Oh, yeah. It does. It does.

Chester Hanks. I'm going to look that up and see what comes up. I feel like you guys are sweeping Colin under the rug. That is his brother, correct? Yes. Yeah. The OC, dude. Colin rocks.

Everybody likes Colin. Colin somebody people like. Yeah. That's who everyone likes. Colin rocks. Yeah. I think if you're half, half foot in Tom, half foot in Chester,

you're all feet into Colin. You're all in. Right. And is that what you think? Colin is? What? Colin is a mixture between Chester and Thomas. I don't know what you just said.

I think he's the perfect mixture of both. No, no, no, no. Chet came right out of Tom's, or sorry, Colin came right out of Tom's dick. He is 100% Tom Hanks. They both did. Yeah, they both did. What do you mean?

Oh, you mean like it's obvious that they're father, son? Like he is obvious, obviously, and he like is built that they look the same? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at current Chester Hanks. The guy is so jacked. Can we get it in the chat? He's so tatted.

Is he on the liver king's tip? Is he just eating pure liver? Yeah, put it down with the sickness. My guess is he is eating pure liver. He's that jacked that he must only be eating you know, bison testicles. Right. Have you guys ever ate bone marrow?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've had that. I can't say I have. That sounds gross as fuck to me, dude. Yeah, but you your palate is like you eat nothing but like chicken nuggets and like shape like dinosaurs. We're playing hide and seek. Am I so fucking?

Fuck you. Fuck you. Not all true. I do love them. Yeah, you eat nothing but like chicken nuggets, nuggets, shape like dinosaurs and like applesauce. Air fryer changed the game on nuggets. I will say that.

I will say that's a hot take. Are you trying to sponsor? Why eat bone marrow? At nice restaurants, they do weird things and you're like, oh, they're like, we want you to try this and then you try it and it's, you know, it's good. Why?

You put it on like toast and shit. What was bone marrow? It was like a butter, right? That's how they serve it. You put it on a little piece of bread. Isn't that what it is? Yeah, it's spreadable. It's like mayonnaise, like Adam's character in the movie.

I've had it once. I did not like bone marrow when I had it. What does it even taste like? Salt? Like fucking. It's like fat. It's just like fat. Yeah, it was just like glubber.

It was just like glub glub. So it tastes like fat. Yeah, which is pretty delicious. Right, just like super savory. Yeah. Oh, but does it leave like... Adam swears by. Dude, I'm all in on bone marrow.

I want to start a restaurant and it's just Cain's chicken wings and bone marrow. That's the only thing I'm going to add to the menu. Chicken bone marrow. Is that a thing? Can you get chicken bone marrow? I feel like it's always... Yeah, what about cracking little chicken bones

and sucking that out? I'm sure you could find it. Chicken tenders, excuse me. I said chicken wings. I sent you guys a picture the other day of me going to Cain's and man, it was packed. Oh my gosh. Burbank?

Be careful what you wish for. Dude, I'm telling... We blew it. We did blow it. We blew it. Right at the... That was episode like five maybe. Yeah.

I went all in on Cain's. Yeah. I was saying we should have got a franchise. And then when they finally came to LA, they took it over, dude. Too much, though. You know who opened it, right? Nope.

These two writers from SNL. No, they did not. Son of a bitch. And the joke there is that... Lord fucking Michaels. Yes, please. Someone listening to the pod took the idea. Be careful what you wish for because

fucking Cain's like... No, I don't know. I won't. You better because Cain's came to the block and the block is fucked now. There's so many cars in the street like Burbank is like locked down. Blake.

I'm so sorry, dude. Wait, oh, so this is like problematic for you? The Cain's traffic is problematic for my guy, Blake. What's up, dude? Yes, traffic at an all-time high. They got the drive-thru spilling into the street. They have armed guards. Yeah, dude.

What's up with that? Why do they feel the need they have to have armed guards? Because people fight over the food and they got to be like... Losing their minds over some Cain's. Texas toast, dog. They're Caniacs. Blake, have you done the drive-thru?

They really are Caniacs. Have you done the drive-thru? No, that's like a three-hour wait. So you've never done the drive-thru? No. What do you do? Absolutely not. You walk in, you walk over?

Yes. Would you park somewhere else and then walk and then walk to it? So you've been to the Canes, so you're saying that you like the Canes? Oh, absolutely. No, actually, it's a mess. It's a mess. The drive-thru is super confusing.

The first time I went through, I was like, am I going left or am I going right? I didn't know what I was doing. They have so many customers that the inside is like disgusting. It's like a frat house. There's fucking chicken wings everywhere. Or, sorry, tenders all over. They're always running out of— You better chill.

You're not going to get that love. They're running out of ice. I'm saying we need all hands on deck over there. Oh, that's actually a problem. That actually makes me upset when there's no ice in the machine. That actually makes me fucking pissed off, dude. Dude, but they got that good ice, though. Yeah, they pride themselves on their ice because they have the cool like—

What is the power of this? The little pebble ice. Oh, my fucking god. I love those pellets, dude, with some root beer. Oh, dude. Yeah, get yourself a machine. I got a machine. You got a small pellet machine?

Oh, yeah. Okay, Rick Caruso. Shit, bro, balling. An ice pellet machine or like a fridge? The freezer, that's all it makes, is the little tiny pebble ice. How did you manage that? Well, we earned money. You got hooked up in a store where we gave them money.

I gave them money and got hooked up with this six freezer. But it's so I took the money that I earned from acting or like doing the podcast, and then I bought a thing. I thought it was the fridge. It's not the fridge? Is it the freezer, I mean? No, no, no. It's a freezer, and that's all it does is make the tiny cube ice,

which is the best investment that I've ever made. Oh, my god, it just does that. It's a flex. It's not just crushed ice, right? It's tiny pellets. It's tiny little like that, that big. The size of a, I guess, smaller than a dime. Right.

And if you put root beer in it, the root beer tastes hella good. Oh, yeah, dude. Any drink, I find. Any beer. But root beer, root beer like is on top. Weirdly, Kyle, I'm with you. I know exactly what you're talking about. I'll also say RC Cola goes very well with that ice.

RC Cola, yeah. Blake, now you're reaching what? Motherfucker, when was the last time you had an RC Cola? Probably at the bowling alley. Oh, is that what I'm thinking of? Okay, when was the last time? I didn't say where. I didn't say where.

1995. Well, you should know I'm at the bowling alley a lot, so very recently. Okay, dope. Yeah, like when, how long ago? He's doing the math. Like this year? Eddie, you could just lie because we straight up don't know,

but have you been within a year? Yes. Okay, no. He's like, hold up. No, yeah, I was going a lot. Hey, I think I had an RC this year too, you fucking dumbass. Yeah, RC, I think I had one this year. I honestly, I don't know if I've ever had an RC Cola.

Are they delicious? With that ice, with combo, with the crunchy ice. Okay, so you're saying I gotta get some for the house. They're okay. Gotta get some RC Cola. Get an RC Cola machine. That's not, it's no root, oh, Kyle's pissed now. I don't fucking see it.

Kyle just left. Yeah. I pissed now. He's probably going to get an RC Cola right now. Oh boy. I hope so. Is this a drawer of ice kind of thing? No, it's like a little, it looks like a little.

It spits it out. No, it looks like a cabinet that you open up. It's like a door. And then you just scoop it and put it in your. Fuck yeah. How long does it take to make that ice? It's always making it, dude. And it's always making and melting.

But if you emptied it out, you had a party. You emptied it out. You needed to put the bin back in. How long are we talking? Like an hour or so. It's like, it cranks it pretty fast. Ice talk. Who cares?

Man. Yeah. I feel like a bozo. Dude, I wonder, dude, after we talked, we did luggage talk last week. And I was talking Ramoha. My Instagram, I got on it after we were done potting. Was so many luggage sponsored ads. Oh, you're thinking.

Did that mean it aired? That episode aired? No, it was just after we were done talking about it. Oh, it's heard us talking. It was fucking insane. And normally I'm like, because my sister explains she works for Facebook. And she's like, they say that they don't listen. It's because wait.

Yeah. And they're, and it's true. And they, yeah. And it's true. No, she says that they don't listen. But the algorithm is so smart that if, for instance, I, a buddy of mine works for some clothing company that I've never heard of, a men's clothing company. And I was at a bar and I was talking with him and then about like, oh, where do you work?

Oh, cool. You know, that's interesting. Right. Cut to the later that night, I'm on my phone and I'm getting sponsored ads for his company. And it's because our phones were in close proximity together for so long. He looks it up a bunch on his phone. And so you guys are in proximity. So it leaped to your phone.

Yes. Wait, what? Really? Really? This shit is leaping? Yes. No way. Yeah.

That's what it said. My phone was in close proximity. So that's why I'm getting all that weird porno. Yeah. That's why we got to stop hanging out. That's why I'm getting this done. That's, that's, that's what you're explaining to, to your girl. That's, I don't know.

I must have been, I was, it must have been near someone that was looking at weird porno. And it led to my phone. I was in the drive-thru cane. I was at Canes in the drive-thru. That's why I'm getting all the step, the step, that porno stuff that's coming. I'm like, what is going on here? Well, I don't know if it's porno specific. I know, I was talking Facebook and they own Instagram.

You don't think they own porno? How is it a leaping? The weird thing is, is I wasn't, our phones weren't close to each other. We do this over Zoom. I think they were listening. No, they're listening. It's not a leaping. Water trash.

That's what my sister says that they don't, that they do not listen. It's the algorithm that knows your needs before you know your needs. So the algorithm is listening? Sounds like they got to her. Yeah, for sure. Because it certainly seems like they're listening. Yeah. But I guess, I guess not.

Did you go get an RC Cola or where'd you bounce to? Yeah, it was weird. Oh dude, my computer was about to fucking die. So I had to go get a, it was very interesting. I had to go get a. Speaking of algorithms on YouTube the other day, right under the video I was watching, it was like a click here ad kind of thing that just was a rainbow flag and said, are you gay?

And I was like, I got it. I was like, why are they asking me? And then I was like, I'm not. So I don't even need to click on it. If you click on it, you might be right. Because you want to know if you are. But if you know that you're not, you're like, I'm not. And you don't click.

But I was like, what's, what are the, how, what is this? Wait, there's, are you gay? Can you frame? Yeah. Yeah. Do your parents know you're gay? Do your parents know you're gay? Is this you coming out?

It's totally cool. That's totally cool. It's a old joke. I don't understand. Yeah, I know the, I know the rollerblading joke. Right. Did you guys ever have, did your parents ever ask you if you were gay when you were a kid? Well, this is what I was thinking about.

It's like parents aren't asking Gen Z this, so their phones are asking them the question. Dude, that's fucking heavy. Because I remember I didn't have, I was in like the seventh grade or something. And I didn't have a girlfriend because I'm a crippled seventh grader. Right. And my mom was like, hey, if, if you're gay, you can, it's totally fine. We would love you no matter what.

And it would be perfectly fine if you came out. And I'm like, what? Pupple sound! A crippled seventh, like. Yeah, but that's good. I mean, it was great. It was great that she's, that she's like that. That's good that your mom did that.

Why'd you react that way? It was weird. Yeah. I, I like, I, she didn't like catch me kissing my buddy or anything. What? It was like a weird thing to, at that age, like wait to ask if your kids are like in the high school. If they're gay. Or do it every, every, on their birthday, every year.

Every year. Yeah. I don't know how. Right before they open the first present at Christmas, you go, well, hang on a second. Hang on real quick. Are you ready for you? And it's totally fine. There you go.

There you go. All right. This one's from your uncle. Yeah. You have a specific order you like to give the guest or the kid. It's like, well, I got another answer first. It's going to depend which one I give you first. I'm right.

I'm right. I don't know what you're talking about. Popcorn. That's tight. Popcorn. What are you saying? There's like, oh, never mind. They order, open them.

Bail order. I'm not saying dumb. I'm not saying dumb shit today, bro. Oh, shit. Hey, you bailed. Too late. Are you saying that? It's all good.

Bails are tight. When you were growing up, your parents delved out the gifts and like you. Well, in certain order. They want to save the biggest gift for the end. So you don't open up, you get the Sega Genesis or whatever. And you're like, that's all. You don't give a shit about it in the other presents at buildings. Right.

They're not going to let you open up, you know, Bomberman, the video game, before they've given you the Super Nintendo, because that would spoil the other game. Or actually, I think it would be better to go the other way. I think you give the video games first. Why do I? Well, I don't even have a, wait, what's in that big box? I guess it depends on how dumb your kid is. Yeah.

If he can't put two and two together. Well, no, but that's just a storytelling technique. That's just fun. Yeah. That's just fun. And you're like, why would you? Dad, these, these didn't even come with any remotes. And you're like, oh, my dude, check in the stocking.

There's two more little tabby boxes over there. Hold up. That is dope storytelling. That is so sick. Storytelling, it is. Yeah, you're right. I take it back. That's epic storytelling.

It builds anticipation. Otherwise, you're just getting to bleak Sega Jen. Why'd you get me a RC Cola? We don't even have one of those crunchy ice machines. Wait, what's that thing? Oh, wait a second. That's just a cabinet. That's just a door.

Yeah, that's how my parents framed most of the big gifts. That's just a silver door that I've never seen before. Yeah. Open it up. Okay. There's nothing in it. Hard water. Where's my root beer?

Well, check your stocking. Act three. Go check your stocking. Oh, my gosh. Man, what a story. Are there any takebacks, apologies, epic slams, sick giveaways? Yeah. Dead ringers.

I want to, hey, if I said anything dumb, I want to take it back because this was the episode where I didn't say anything dumb. I don't think I did. If any of the producers heard me say anything dumb, if we could just scratch that, that would be sick. Thank you. And you know what? I feel like this is going to air right after the holidays.

Yes. And I hope everybody had a good holiday out there. I hope everyone had a good holiday. And we're thankful for everyone listening. Thank you so much. What a gift. I hope you're a gift. I hope your gift order upon opening was fun and a good story.

You're not looking at me or Derz? What's up? And my mom wondered if I was gay or not. Right. Right? That's cool. Don't laugh. Yeah, it's all right.
