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
Starting point is 00:00:47 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
Starting point is 00:01:40 what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today, we talk about every human is shrinking. We're changing diapers over here. We got a blowout. How big is the bin? How big is the bin? Whoa, I just opened up physical evidence. Here we go. Start your engines. Oh my gosh. I just want to say Adam can't hear you. Can't hear Adam. Adam, try and talk. What do you mean you can't hear me? Now I can hear you, but the we're back. Now we can't chrisp it in here. We're back. You're having some real digital dropouts or something. I don't know what that is. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:36 Maybe it's the Yeddling. Yeah. Now you're good. I think it might be the fact that you're recording live from backstage somewhere. What is this curtain? This is the way. Is that Fallon, dude? My wife put this curtain up in my office because it looks nice on the Zoom backdrop. Dude, I love it. It's nice, huh? Yeah, thanks. I wish you were coming live from Broadway. You're just backstage waiting for your cue. Yeah, from the Espenes. Wouldn't that be fun? From Broadway. Wow, if Adam was backstage at Broadway. Remember when Gene Money said, see y'all on Broadway? Don't forget about me. Do we tell that story? Do we tell that story? We had to have. Like that's pod one. We had to have. We had to have, hey, and we're not telling it again,
Starting point is 00:03:23 okay? Fans that want to know what I'm talking about. But if you don't know what he's talking about, go back and go back and listen to the tapes, catacombs, catalog. Yeah. Did we make a song about that? Blake, I feel like we sung that. So like Gene Money's singing. Like On Wax? Don't forget about me when you boys find your way to Broadway. That was about it. Well, essentially, we got to tell it now. Essentially, our neighbor across the street was named Gene Money. He wore a chain with a giant G with like the money slashes through the middle of it. Made money. Yeah. And yeah, he was the shit. And the G had the vertical lines. Okay. They had the vertical lines. Yes. And we were always like filming is when we were first doing
Starting point is 00:04:08 like YouTube videos, we're always filming dressing up in costumes, being idiots around our neighborhood. And he would like be looking at us sort of like with an eyebrow raised like, what are these fucking kids up to? And then when we go to move out, he's like, yo, um, heard y'all moving out. And we're like, yeah, yeah. And he goes, uh, all right, then, well, I'll see y'all on Broadway. And we were dumbfounded. We were like, did he think we were like trying to get a career in Broadway this whole time? We thought we were the cast, the cast. It would have been a cool run. I think wouldn't it be wild though, if you if you were like, yeah, you know what, I'm actually going to be doing this show on Broadway for a couple months,
Starting point is 00:04:50 you guys, I'll see you out there. And then you get on stage and guess who's your choreographer? I put in a word for y'all. G money is in the front row. Yeah. Yeah, he's there. Yeah, I know Josh Gad. I had you replace Josh Gad. And remember on the pod when you talked about it, and you thought it was just because I didn't know the industry too well or the ends and the ounce. This is what I was talking about. It's like, I saw that in you all those years ago. And that impression you were doing of me, that was a character that I was doing. Yeah. I kind of find it offensive. Yeah. My real name is Zach Licton. I'm sort of offended by it. No, but admittedly, pretty good impression of him is what's weird is that the impression I was doing
Starting point is 00:05:35 was offensive. And I just wanted to say, let's get canceled together. Yeah, I'll see you on broadcast television. This is my apology and my take back. This is my apology and take back, Adam, I've listened to every episode of the pod. This is from them. No, well, remember, I told Blake this, I drove past the old house, maybe a year or two ago, and just to like, it was before the pandemic. So it's been a few years now, pre pan and just drove past the old house to check it out. And G money was across the street, washing cars as he does. There was always like Rolls Royces and shit being washed in his driveway, which was sick. And we weren't in a neighborhood where Rolls Royces were just everywhere. It was like a not awesome neighborhood. And he's
Starting point is 00:06:25 out there washing these Rolls Royces. And I go, gee, and wave at him. And he stared at me. There was zero recollection of me in his mind. And it really hurt my feelings. Yeah. So you weren't as impactful. All part of his character study, Adam. He was like, he really has a beat on this guy. G money wouldn't remember, Adam, give him the stare. Yeah, right. Yeah. And he was able to commit so quickly to not even a glimmer. These such a good actor that is that a thing that we should do. Should we put our heads together now and come up with a Broadway show because I feel like we should push there or something. I feel like people have had success. Yeah. Broadway is doing better than ever. Yeah. Workaholics on Broadway.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Right. Or just something on Broadway, you know, because of the rights. That's the only reason I'm yeah, we don't own the rights to work colleagues. So yeah. Blake is thinking really hard. Here we go. Yeah. Blake, he's touching his head. He's touching his top right eyebrow. What musical there's something it was just turned into a musical. And I was like, whoa, that is fucking wild. Some show. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Yeah. And what and what is it? We want you to remember this. What is it? What the fuck was it? It wasn't Spongebob. That was what I was going to do before the pandemic. Okay. Is I had tickets booked to the Spongebob musical and that shit got canceled, bro. That's a bummer. So Spongebob did have a Spongebob is a musical.
Starting point is 00:07:55 There is a Spongebob Squarepants musical. It's been shown still. It might be making his roundhouse. On Broadway or like touring? This was at like pantages. Maybe it's off Broadway. Yeah. Maybe it's off where it had started on Broadway and then moved off Broadway. That's such like a funny term. Off, off, Broadway. Yeah. Yeah. You have to be on Broadway or off Broadway. That's it. Like any play that isn't on Broadway, you still like mention Broadway, so it gives it some plow. Right. Why do you do that? Your play has nothing to do with Broadway. It's not at that level even a little bit. Yeah. But you say it's off Broadway, so at least Broadway is within the title. So you're like, oh, I'm sure it will Broadway.
Starting point is 00:08:40 That's like if you have a YouTube channel, you're off, off TV. That's kind of cool. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of off TV. It's on YouTube. Yeah. We're sort of off, off Hollywood. On internet. Yeah. Who was the fun guy who said off, off Broadway? G Money, believe it or not. It was G Funny. It was a different guy. Yeah. G Funny. G Money's homeboy. Related. Okay. We might have our first points of the day. Yes, points. All the points. Love it when we get to points. I love it when we get to points. You like points now. I love points. That's what happens. You have pre-workout for the first time in a month. You're rearing to go. Wait, you got pre-workout coursing through your veins right now? Yeah. When you have like the niacin skin, just like
Starting point is 00:09:28 bubbling. Oh, did you hit a workout? Well, I took it earlier and I haven't taken it for like three weeks because I just ran out and haven't gotten to GNC. You sent me free shit. It's science. What kind of, what do you, what do you take? Are you fucking with Jack? Are you a ghost? Fucking with Mark Wahlberg's mix? I do Lit. I do Lit. Lit. Lit. Lit. Lit. Lit. Is that race I've done Lit AF and Lit AF has too much caffeine for me. It's a little crazy. Oh, so you're not lit. It's too lit. It's too lit AF. No, it's, it's, I'm not lit AF. I'm lit. Wait, these are two separate things. He's just regular. Yes. There's lit, which has like 120 whatever's and that one has like 220 or something like that. Okay. Lit AF. I have C4.
Starting point is 00:10:14 That's a fucking explosive. Yeah, what? I know it's an explosive from movies. You're going to explode. And I've had TSA take it out of my luggage before and it says C4 on it and man, did they have some questions. They're like, what is this? I'm like pre-workout and they're like, man, what does that mean? Yeah. Yeah. Then they read it and one of the guys knew what it was. So some jacked-ass TSA dude comes over and he's like, who's all good guys? We're going to laugh about this. Yeah, he's fine. My bro, brother in swole. What is this pre-workout? Shoe bomb. What is shoe bomb? Yeah. Give yourself points. That's funny. Hey, thanks, bud. Hey, you know what? I do like points. Pre-workout. Terrorists out. If you go to GNC and you look at the flavors of all these
Starting point is 00:11:08 products, they are insane. It's like they're marketed towards eight-year-olds. Half of them, like gummy worms and jolly rancher. Sour patch kids. Sour patch kids, like really? Yeah, I did. I got a protein shake thing that was like Girl Scout cookie. These are like ciggies. Oh, they're like weed. It's weed and pre-workout is what the game is right now. Those are the brands that are hot amongst people. Wild. Because working out high is actually pretty fun sometimes. It's the best. It's the only way to fucking work out. Yeah, right? Go ahead. Talk more. Talk more. Do you... Well, Duris doesn't really smoke that much weed, so you probably have never worked out high, huh? I don't think so, no. I do fairly often, and it's nice. You get into the zone. Yes,
Starting point is 00:11:54 you do. I like to lift. Do you? The zone. You get into a zone. You get into a zone. That's for sure. I really do. Bro, you do. You get into a fucking zone. If you smoke weed all the time and that's your thing, like you fucking... Like you can be intense. Oh, fuck yeah, bro. Yes, I like to go faster when I'm... I like to do like high intensity workouts with pre and weed. It's great, because you just zone in, do exactly what you're doing. You don't think of anything else. You just sort of doing that. Right. It stops the voices. It stops the voices for you, Adam. The voices don't come in my head like they normally do. Do they come in your head? That's awkward. Yeah, they're always jizzing in my noggin. Adam has coming voices in his head. Okay, guys. That's what Adam
Starting point is 00:12:41 hears in his head all day. He's constantly on the brink. I didn't know that was my girl Kamala. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that was Kamala Harris. That's great. Yes, that is your president. Yeah, no, it's not. It is. She's not my president. No, she's not. She's my vice president. She is a vice president. Dude, Biden's the puppet. She's pulling the strings. Okay. Come on. Hey, we'll pull him a little harder, because that guy looks asleep at the wheel. Okay. He's a friend. He's joking. Hey. Do not come. Polly charts. But then I don't think... I think lifting weights, while stoned, slowly lifting, then I start to get sidetracked. That's when I'll take four minutes in between sets, and I'll just look at my phone and be like, oh, yeah, I'm working.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Yeah, four minutes. Right. But the faster you move, I think the better the wheat is. Yeah, like for cardio or for polio or anything like that, dude, fucking get stoned. I would like to see you going fast, high, just to see if you think you're fast, high, or if you're actually fast, high. Well, by the way, it's been a while since, because of all my problems. Guess what else I just found out. Uh-oh, he's got a tail. Another ailment. We did an MRI on my back last week. I have a herniated disc. Okay. Wow, dude. What do you mean? Yeah, or hemorrhage. What is it? It's like both herniated. So the herniated. Is that right? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:14:14 Yeah. So the in-between stuff is popping out, right? Yeah. It's leaking out the side. He leaking? Yeah, I got two of those. That's what I'm saying. I got two of those. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, so they're saying my back pain is that, and then the hip and groin pain is my torn limb bar in my hip. All right. So that's, hey, we got to the bottom of my issues. Now it's time to get better. That come with age, hemorrhaging of back. Like, why does your shit leak out the side? What even causes that? If you put a lot of stress on your, like, if you were landing a ton or whatever. If you're dropping into half splits a lot for years.
Starting point is 00:14:53 If you're doing classic jazz splits. Adam and Prince have the same problem. If you're doing classic jazz splits at damn near 40 years old on the regular, without stretching, yeah, you might get a herniated disc. I think just in line at Chipotle. Burrito bow. Yeah. I think my shit is from trying to fucking skateboard. I think that's where I got mine, from trying to jump and like never really landing it. Jumping. But it's from landing. They said it's from landing. You never landed. That's what I mean, but I landed it. So I was never able to, that's what I said.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I said that. So I got in front of that. Hey, self burn. Sorry. That was a self burn. So I already kind of was in front of that. He freaking be rabid at you. He M&M'd your ass. You thought you were going to get him, but he already pointed out all his failures. I like that. What? Yeah. Nice, dude. Exactly. Hey, that's not be rabid, dude. Be rabid was his homie, by the way, Blake. Sorry. My bad. My bad. Yeah. Fucking idiot. Hey, Kyle, I know you admit it. I know you admitted it. You still didn't fucking land it,
Starting point is 00:15:58 dude. Oh man, that's good. That's good, Anders. I appreciate that. I know you said it, but you still didn't land it. It does hurt. It does hurt. Yeah, it works. Yeah. So to answer your question, Blake, I don't really know, because he says it's like, it's part of getting old. Like we're all shrinking. What? The show on HBO? Yeah, like every human is... You've been talking to Emma? No, every human is shrinking. Is shrinking? Well, not if you're growing. Yeah, what do you mean? Well, yeah, yes. Like as after you're done growing.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Kyle. Yes, true, Kyle. Yes, children aren't shrinking. I'm sorry, dude. I'm just, he said every human. But every adult, you know, because when you're getting old... That's what he said. He did. You, you know, you lose a few inches. Right. Can we talk downsizing for a minute? That movie. Actually, I do want to talk about this, guys. This is a talk... What downsizing? I never want to. I don't have to.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Minimizing. I'm having like a real existential crisis, because as you know, like in the middle of moving and like... You just learned that word. No, I didn't. I've known that. Are you having your Marie Kondo if you don't... Yes. Yes. Yes. This is the best transition we've ever had if Blake is really transitioning. This is great. I am transitioning, but that's another story.
Starting point is 00:17:15 This is about... This is about... What? My fucking... I can't get rid of my CDs, bro. I think it's time. Oh. Yeah. Done. Yeah. Dude, Blake. Blake was dusting out. He was sending us texts the other night of like old CDs of like... Very old. ...wrappers that we knew from like a solid 10 years ago. And like people like bad music that was made by our friends.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You lose. That he just still has. Bad music. Like what, for example? Yeah. What was that? I forget exactly what CDs he had, but like it's, you know, he just keeps... He had one that I wanted to hear. I mean, I had Eric Griffin's first stand-up comedy CD. Yeah. That's great. I got to go through my shit. Yeah. Sure. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Okay. So bad comedy. Sorry. But you got to keep that for like leveling out tables and stuff around the house. Dude, what a... No, but I have so many CDs. Eric's going to text me and be like, come on, man. Hey, but thanks for the mention. Do I just throw them all or sell them to him? Do I get rid of them? No, just keep them. Just keep them. Dude, you don't sell them to Amoeba.
Starting point is 00:18:21 No, dude, I have too many. Turn them into furniture or something. How many do you have? What's the... What's the count? Because I... Is this your whole life? This is my whole life that I collected CDs. I have nine bins. Yeah. My life, my life, my life. Throw them all away. Right? Throw them all away.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Nine bins? Throw everything away. Okay. They're... Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There must be something you can do with nine bins of CDs. Wait, what is a bin? I don't know. What's the quantity in the bin? How many is in a bin? What's a bin?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Big. Big. It's big. I love how you go. I have nine bins as opposed to just going... I have 900 CDs. Well, there's way more than 900. It's way more than 900. It's way more than 900. You've got to have like... Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know what a bin is. I know. So is it 1,000? Well, what do you mean you don't know what a bin is? It's a big plastic bin, right? A big plastic bin. But how big? How big is the bin?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yes. Right. So how many CDs is that? How big is the bin? How big is the bin? What's in the bin? Let's see. I have... What's in the bin? Let's see. What's in the bin?
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah. Is this a bar? Wait, hold on. I got to get points. I got to get everything. Yes, points! Hey, who are you giving those points to? Because I just said, What's in the bin? And then you're sending it.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Okay. And we can have points. I don't think you said what's in the bin. I think you said how much is in the bin. I said, What's a bin? You said, What's in the bin? I said, What's in the bin? I said, What's in the bin? Todd, can we run it back, please?
Starting point is 00:19:43 And let's get the points right. I don't run it back. Okay. This is like those commercials where the guy's like, I got to throw a flag on this one, Dad. First of all, Blake keeps throwing points to the wrong guys. He gave it to Ders earlier when Kyle self-inflicted the burn and he deserved those points.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I'm losing a nightmare. It feels natural to give it to me. I actually think that Ders said, What's in the bin first, if that's what we're arguing about right now. Is that what we're arguing about right now? We got to go to replay. Fans did, too.
Starting point is 00:20:10 No. I swear, I said it first. I said, What is a bin? Todd, who said it first? Who said What's in the bin? Adam, I hope you said it first. It's been, I've had too many points this episode. Oh, I pray. Hey, hey, regardless.
Starting point is 00:20:25 It's another blowout. Ders has got another blowout on his hands. Hey, you know what? I don't need the points. We're changing diapers over here. We got a blowout. Any points for that? No.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Hey, don't do it for the points. Dad points. 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
Starting point is 00:21:00 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
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:54 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.
Starting point is 00:22:21 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. If you're looking for someone to help you unpack Queen Charlotte a Bridgerton story,
Starting point is 00:22:47 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,
Starting point is 00:23:05 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
Starting point is 00:23:20 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. To answer your question, Blake, throw everything away.
Starting point is 00:23:48 You don't, you're such a pack rat. Yes. You have so much stuff. And I think your girl is really good for you, because I think she's encouraging you to get rid of some of your, you call them collectibles. A lot of people would call them garbage. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Blake, get a storage unit. Kyle, Kyle, I don't think that's... I'm going to marry both these guys things. Don't get rid of them. And also, don't get a storage unit. What's wrong with a storage unit? Because it's just trash. Go through the CDs and make some sort of like,
Starting point is 00:24:20 around your entire house, you can frame like nine to 20 to 64 CDs of different sizes of your favorite shit by genre or by whatever. You could turn this into something dope. Also, hang on to CDs because I'm trying to listen to some Neil Young. Guess what? Not on Spotify.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Got to go to my CDs or at least to my computer. Yes. Joni Mitchell, not on Spotify. Got to go somewhere else. Right, right. De La Soul, finally back. Go through them and save your top 1,000. Get a CD book and save your top 1,000.
Starting point is 00:24:55 But I know this guy has 25,000. Do you think you have 25,000 compactists? If you get rid of the free Willy soundtrack, you will never forgive yourself. That's why I mean, we had a collection, Blake. We've gotten rid of a collection like this. That's true. And we got rid of our energy drink collection.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And energy what would you say? Energy dink. I've been playing pickleball so much. Energy dink. Pickleball guy. You said energy dink. Hey, give him negative points. I would buy that.
Starting point is 00:25:21 No, that's a pickleball term, energy dink. But energy dink collection, how do you feel about that? I mean, that's a good test of like. I'm fine, dude. Yeah, good. He's good with it. I'm fine. I mean, I wish we took pictures of everyone.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yes. So we had some sort of filing of it. That is big. Remember the idea I had? Yeah, which is good. But here's the thing, guys. I think I'd have a true disorder because I really. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I really get like, I get overwhelmed and I get like, and I get like sad and I start to have anxiety when I am confronted with this stuff and no, I have to throw it away. Get rid of it. Like letting go of something that you have a memory of is actually challenging. Yeah. Yeah, but you still have the memories, you know, just keep.
Starting point is 00:26:14 You keep them. No, they go away. They go away. If you're not looking at the stuff constantly, they go away. Kyle's like the devil on my shoulder. Yeah, but he's not looking at this stuff constantly. You know what I mean? He just says stuff that he hasn't looked at in 10 years and
Starting point is 00:26:27 then he digs it, it's trash at that point. You know what? I don't know, man, because I got t-shirts from high school that I just broke back out. I know, me too. Broke back. Perfect. But you can fit in clothes from high school?
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah, because I thought I was going to be like six, five or whatever. So I got like L's and XL's. Dang them, son. I was obviously like swimming in them in high school and now they fit a little tight. But I don't know. Maybe I have the same disorder.
Starting point is 00:26:51 He is my son. Yeah. Okay, Ders, for instance, I was also looking through all my like graphic novels, but I have a ton. But I'd never reread any of them. You should reread it. Like, I mean, I reread a little bit. I don't reread all of them all the time, but I hang on to
Starting point is 00:27:08 ones like I read Criminal again the other day. This is why I'm spiraling though. Like, why do we buy anything? Yeah, I know. Like, why do we have anything? Well, that this is true. This is true. Get your library card on.
Starting point is 00:27:18 They got graphic novels at the library now. Yes. And CDs are all digital. Like it just like, I don't know. I would argue that you appreciate the artist. And so you want the most money possible going to the artist, even though it goes through a publisher and a music publishing house.
Starting point is 00:27:34 When you do purchase. When you stream, dude, it's pennies or pardon me, fractions of pennies that goes to these people. Yeah. Yeah, that sucks. That sucks. So buy the CDs, throw it away, and then stream. Sucks butt.
Starting point is 00:27:46 God, that sucks butt. It does suck butt. Yeah, I don't know, man. I'm losing it over here. I don't know. I'm really fucking shook. Well, before you throw them over, let me come over. I sort of have the opposite problem where I don't save
Starting point is 00:28:00 anything. Yeah. Like I will just kind of get rid of. Right into the ocean forever. That's why I just spike it into the Indonesian seas. You brought so much stuff to Indonesia. I brought so much old trash with me just to add to the collection.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Do not come. So much plastic. Like a ton of just. Plastics. I collected every straw I've ever drank out of and then just dumped it right overboard. It was actually easy. Yeah, sometimes I'm like, when you send,
Starting point is 00:28:32 because every once in a while you'll send out posts like that where you're like, hey, look at this old thing or these old t-shirts from like the season one rap party and stuff. I'm like, oh, that'd be cool to have. But then I'm also like, why? Why would that be cool to have? Well.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I'm not wearing it. I'm not going to wear it. It depends, I guess, on how you operate. Adam, aren't you building your museum? Like what do you got to have all this stuff? Yeah, that's right. My museum's going to suck, dude. I want the crutches from seventh grade.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I want the grips, the grips from the wheelchair. Hey, the thing is, like most museums, you just buy another one, you get another one, you age it, make it look like it's old, and then say that it is the thing that you're saying. I forgot that's how museums work. Yeah, that's how museums work. None of it's real, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:16 They're not actually relics. Yeah, they're not relics. I really thought we were going to reignite the flames of Planet Hollywood and bring it back. That's not happening. Well, we could do ours. Planet Cucamonga. How about this?
Starting point is 00:29:30 How about this? I give you all of my stuff. You keep it, and then in 20 years, when we start our collective museum, you will have all the stuff. I drop it on you? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I got the raw weeds and jeans. I took a half rack of all my wardrobe from Orcaholics. Like, I have every office wardrobe, like the green, the pink, and the yellow. I got one each of those. Love the yellow. The canary. I got a bunch of shit that I'm just sitting on
Starting point is 00:29:57 that I think someday I'm going to auction off when there's like, well, maybe for the earthquake. I don't know. I got to figure it out. Oh, what's that? It was a big earthquake. Oh, yeah, that big earthquake. A lot of people died.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It's a problem. Oh, and where was that again? Turkey. Turkey? Yeah. Oh, man. Turkey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Fucking sucks. Fucking things sucks. That's the whole Marie Kwan-Do thing, right? Who? Marie Kwan-Do. That's the whole thing that she says is you take things out. Kwan-Do, Kwan-Do. Marie Kwan-Do is not a martial art player.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Wait a minute. Marie Kwan-Do. Wait a minute. What did I say? How did I say it wrong? It's Kwan-Do, right? Kwan-Do. Oh, did I say Kwan-Do?
Starting point is 00:30:33 Fuck. It's Kwan-Do. Yeah, not Thai Kwan-Do. All right. Well, but you take everything out. So when you're moving, you're forced to do this in a major way. You take everything out and then what makes the cut
Starting point is 00:30:44 you put back in the drawer or whatever, right? And if you never wear it, if you never fucking care about it, if you don't give a shit about it, it goes in the bin, the trash bin, not the savings bin. Yeah, but dude, dude, that doesn't work with me. Or the recycling bin or take it to Salvation Army or... The donation bin. I'm at Goodwill all the time with stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah, I do a lot of Goodwill runs. Me too. That's what I'm saying, though. That fucking, that little hack doesn't work for me. She's like, hold the things in your hand. Does it spark joy? I always sparks joy. Everything sparks joy.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Exactly, yeah. Then you keep it. But now I have Infinity Things in our aluminum. You have a lot of joy, I guess. I'm very joy. What I'm saying is put them, reframe your experience with them. Okay. And not literally frame, but you could frame some of these,
Starting point is 00:31:30 you could build, you could stack them into a chair that you have in the corner of a room where you can read on the side like, oh shit. Coffee table, hold up. These are all our Kelly CDs. I'm not sitting here. Yeah, dude, I did find that, man. Of course you did, man.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I did find that, man. I was like, whoa, still slaps. I was like, whoa, I just opened up physical evidence. Oh yeah. Number one. Yeah, another way to phrase it, you did listen to a lot of his music growing up. That's it, another way.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just what I'm saying is change the way that you interact with the CDs. If you don't look at them now, maybe there's a better way to do that. Right. Yeah, because they definitely just are sitting in a closet in my garage.
Starting point is 00:32:12 You could always get a bunch of, like instead of bins, you could ditch the plastics and put them all in their own CD cases. So you just have your books. You know the little fucking books of CDs? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying get, take your top 500 or top 1000. Keep the artwork.
Starting point is 00:32:30 You can keep the artwork. You don't have to keep the plastic. Yeah, you slide the artwork behind the CD and put the CD right in front in the little sleeve. But then the back, the back one is trapped in the jewel case. It's gone forever. Oh yeah, you can't really get,
Starting point is 00:32:44 you can't get the back one out. And if you got one like Midnight Baratres, that's where you really see everybody's face on the back. That's the only reason to have CDs, dudes, because everything we're saying, like yeah, besides Neil Young, like all of this stuff exists five times in my life. I have them all on my laptop.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I have it all on my phone. I have it, I can just search it on Apple Music. I'm just hanging on to this weird physical thing that's weird, wild stuff. No, I mean, dude, I have a whole record collection and I don't know why I have it, except for when I'm like, you know what,
Starting point is 00:33:15 I want to remember when I bought this record and do something abnormal and listen to music in a different way. Like I want to actually just put a side on. And then I want to be like, in the conversation, I'd be like, oh, fuck, I got to flip the side. Like I just want that. Yeah, but Kyle, how often do you do that?
Starting point is 00:33:33 I'm saying not that often. How often? As soon as it gets over, as soon as the first side's over, he's like, oh. It's really, and truly, it's like maybe you get through. The first side doesn't even go on. That's what I'm saying. It probably happens like once every year.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I'll throw a record on that I like and I'll do the both sides and then I'll be like, okay, that's enough. I won't put another record on after that. You know what I mean? But how often do you put the one record on is the question. I think like, I have it in my studio up here. So I put my records on like maybe once or twice a month.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Okay. That's fine. Oh, that's a lot. That's a lot. Then yeah, then you keep hot, hot. See, I have a record player and some records and I think I put them on a total of zero times. I never took the record player out of the box.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Why did you get it? Or did it get sent to you? I think I have multiple record players. Yeah. It was gifts. Yeah, people give it as gifts. And then I'm like, whoa, cool. I'm going to get into this.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And then I like buy a record being like, I'm going to listen to this. And then I just- What record did you buy? Yeah. What have you bought? Yeah, what record did you get? Cool in the game.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Pop off on. I mean, fuck if I know. Probably black keys, I guess, because they came out with the vinyl of their stuff. Right. There you go. But then I'm like, no, that's too much. Too much, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I'll just listen to it. I'll just listen to it on my phone. Right. I mean, totally. Totally. Play the best music. Yeah. Play me a playlist I would like.
Starting point is 00:34:54 The best music. Another one. I guess the one thing about sifting through those CDs and those albums is you see them and then you go like, oh shit, what was on that album? I do remember liking it. And then you put that album on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:09 But yes. Blake, I'm telling you, keep them. Well, that's the best thing about albums, too, is you get those cool tracks. You get the tracks that you don't hear often. You'll never hear them again. Well, OK. Beyond the music, because I see keeping the music.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Your music head, it brings you much joy. But then you have other stuff. I do. I have a ton of t-shirts. I know you just have a ton of shit that you can get rid of. So if the music really is a thing that you're having a really hard time, keep the music. But then I know you have collectibles and toys and probably
Starting point is 00:35:46 just a ton of other bullshit that you absolutely don't need. Books. Tons of books. You take these t-shirts and you repurpose them. You cut them into a blanket. It's a new quilt with your favorite rock stars. You can sleep with your favorite bands. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:36:02 This is the kind of justification that keeps everything around. I'm going to do something with it one day. I literally went on YouTube and I said, like, should I throw my CDs away? And then there's the two minimalists.com, whatever. And they make some good points. And then there's 10, do not get rid of your CDs.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Never get rid of your CDs. Music will disappear at some point. And you have to keep them. And it's like, maybe I have to. And the people who get rid of them, they are just creating this thing where we all feel bad that someone's able to, like, just get rid of all this stuff. When really you need to hold on to your bear.
Starting point is 00:36:40 There's your bear. We got a labyrinth situation. Oh, all right. Okay. Oh, do you like a lipstick? Here's some lipstick. Oh, my stuff. Sisters, I don't think you learned anything from her.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Well, I still have my CDs. But I'm like, they're just in the trunk of my car. Wow. I know. But you probably have 50 or something. Yeah. I have like, and they're all like, from a very specific time in my life.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yes. It's all like, hey, wow, if I ever want to listen to Chumba Womba's tub thumping, I have that puke green. Which is every weekend. That specifically comes on somewhere every day. Yeah. Yeah, that was one of the first records I bought. Really?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yeah. Was it really? Yeah, I know, dude. Oh, it spoke to you. No, no. No, it wasn't. I'm sorry. But I wish it was.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I really do. Yeah, if you ever want to listen, dig out Marcy's Playground or Fastball. That's on Apple Music. That's on Sirius XM Lithium probably three times a week, right? That's true. I don't have XM. Dude, can we talk about how much K-Rock is now just an oldie station? We can.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Yeah. What's K-Rock? Like, I'm driving a lot lately. I haven't driven in LA for years now. Welcome back. And I'm driving back and forth from Hollywood down to Orange County. Several times a week now. What happened?
Starting point is 00:38:01 What happened? What happened? And it's like an hour, hour and a half drive. So you're listening to a lot of radio. And my XM subscription has run its course. It's, I would have to call someone. Because you got it for free for a year. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I think I paid for it. And then I think that credit card was expired. Okay, yeah. I was like, because they're going to re-up without you even knowing. But yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, no. Because normally I would just, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So it's always on when I get in the car. But now it's not working. So I'm listening to a lot of K-Rock. And the only thing they play is Sublime. That's dope. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Are you reading a list right now? Green Day.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And I'm telling you, it's like, and those are three of my favorite bands. But I'm like, where's the new rock? Do they just not exist? Like, tell me. Rock is dead. Rock is dead. Tell me.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Oh, is it? Oh, that's good. That's good. Rock's dead. Rock's dead. Or it just isn't. It isn't the sound that K-Rock subscribes to. But there's no new music for them to get listeners.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Well, there's, I mean, there's like Turnstile. There's like a handful of bands. No, no, no. But nobody's listening to that music. Yeah, they are. They were nominated for Grammy. Yeah, they are. How big?
Starting point is 00:39:13 It's a. How big? Grammy. I don't care if they win a Grammy. The world does. Turnstile? That fucking album rocks. What about?
Starting point is 00:39:20 No, they don't. Dude, nobody gives a fuck. Who won? Everyone was tripping because like Bonnie Rait won a Grammy. And it's like, nobody listens to Bonnie Rait anymore. I'm not saying she doesn't go. Bro, not saying she doesn't go. But I'm just saying nobody listens to her anymore.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Sure. It's not the same. I, yeah, I understand what you're saying. Like Turnstile is one of my favorite bands right now. They're Taco Bell commercials. They're fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, they're, they're, they're big.
Starting point is 00:39:44 But it, but the difference. They have to be. That's the only way to get harder or make money. Yeah, you have to play that game. But the difference between like a big bands now and a big band in Blake, the 90s. The biggest. Is it's night and day. It's like they, like a big band in the 90s was fucking huge.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Selling out stadiums. Fucking Oasis, dude. Yes, in a crushing. Yes, exactly. Yes, Oasis. Yeah. Yes, Oasis. They're not going to make money playing current bands.
Starting point is 00:40:12 They got to play Oasis. Right. Well, because also I don't think people go to. They're not playing a lot of Oasis. I don't think people go to the radio to discover music. They're not going to K-Rock to be like. They used to. They don't anymore.
Starting point is 00:40:29 They used to. They go there to hear some. Well, where the fuck do you go to discover music? But they're just playing when people used to go to the radio. They're playing that music to give them that feeling that we're talking about. Yeah. When you go through your CDs and you hear the little. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Well, that's like, that was like Jack FM. But I'm also like, is any other radio station. Jack FM was like that shit when we were growing up. It was like, it would give you the fucking weird shit that you would get from. Jack FM wasn't around when we were growing up. Get up. We were in like our 18s to 20s. Like when we were in LA.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah. That was when it was. Yeah. No. But that was when radio kind of died. Yeah. That whole thing was based in nostalgia. There was no new music.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It was like, you go there to hear the shit that you downloaded off of Kaza or Lime Wire, bro. That was what it was. Morpheus. Morpheus. Morpheus. Yeah. It was a random ass station where you went to hear.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Kaza. This is my fucking shit that you. Kaza. Kaza. Okie dokie. Well, my question is, is any other station in the country playing Sublime the way K-Rock plays Sublime? No, I think that's their motto is like, we play Sublime, the only one. We're like, we are the last station that is just churning out Sublime all the time.
Starting point is 00:41:42 And I like Sublime, but I'm like, I'm like, it's every fit song. I've been listening to it a lot. And I'm like, hi, here we go again. What about WBAP? I don't know what WBAP is. Who's WAP? Oh, damn. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 00:41:59 That's all good, man. Radio dead. Radio dead. That's a whoop-ap whoop-ap. Whoop-ap. 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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,
Starting point is 00:43:03 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.
Starting point is 00:43:42 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. 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
Starting point is 00:44:21 that one person was responsible. I will admit the others when you catch me, if you can. Signed freeway fan. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother. That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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. Well, that's what was kind of weird what XM started to do that I noticed. They started dedicating stations to bands. Like there was a Grateful Dead radio.
Starting point is 00:45:19 But then now there's like Pearl Jam radio. This is on series, you're saying? Series XM, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But these are bands curating bands, aren't they? Sometimes. Isn't that what the idea is behind it? It's like, we like this shit.
Starting point is 00:45:33 There's a Springsteen channel. There was a Grateful Dead. There's one station that they rotate in this month or this week. It's going to be all Bowie or all Linda Ronstadt. I'll just say, mine just stays on Margaritaville. Dude, get some. You're saying it's stuck? Yeah, it's stuck.
Starting point is 00:45:51 My button is broke. It rained. My teeth doesn't have a roof. That's just staying on Margaritaville. I can't figure it out. Lost the manual. I can't figure it out. Where is the closest?
Starting point is 00:46:00 Is there a Margaritaville in California? I was wondering this this morning. City Walk. Universal City Walk, baby. Hello. No, no, a resort. A resort. Not a resort.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I want a vacation at Margaritaville, you know? Like the sandals. Now, here's a real question. Canada, can we franchise Margaritaville? Because I think that is a thing that we can all invest. By the way, there was a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville Broadway show, and I'm not kidding. I sent it to you.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yes, you're right. Yeah, it was off Broadway. Yeah, I think there's a Margaritaville everything. Yeah, well, he got it. I think we need to build the Margaritaville. Campbell's Chunky Margaritaville. Yummy. Hey, the Beach Boys.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Are they still a band? Kind of. Yeah, well, Brian Wilson still sings it. Yeah, because they are playing when I enter the auditorium or whatever, because I'm the king of Mardi Gras. And when I enter the auditorium or whatever, the Beach Boys will be performing. And I'm like, oh, that's sick.
Starting point is 00:47:08 That's sick. But I was like, oh, I thought they like aren't. I wonder if it's going to be Brian Wilson. I wonder if Brian Wilson's going to fucking sing, dude. Hey, I don't know. Well, that'll be sick if they aren't. Right, because he kind of went A-Wall, but then the other dude, Mike Post, Mike Love.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Mike Love and Bruce Johnson, Todd, is saying, are the only original members, Brian Wilson, doing his own solo tours. Yeah, dude. Smile, I love Mr. Brian Wilson. And I think that Mike Love's kind of went a little weird as well. Well, yeah, we'll get to meet him, Blake, so.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Wait, isn't Mike Love who's the basketball player, last name Love, who played on Kevin Love? Isn't that his uncle, right? Is that true? Oh, yeah. I thought so. Hey, this is some tea.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Hey, it is if Durr says it with his eyebrow furrowed. Right, right. Don't want to make me leave you. Yes, that is true. OK, great. Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. I never knew that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Oh my god. Wow, mind-blowing. Can you imagine being like, my uncle is a Beach Boy and I'm seven feet tall and I play professional basketball. So we all just kind of roll. Yeah, we just kind of do our thing. Yeah, that's right. Thanksgiving's cool.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Thanksgiving's cool. Well, I hope in one of, I hope Durr's, you just have a giant, a giant kid. You and me both. Yeah, oh, these giant, the giant. I hope your kids end up being fucking huge. Yeah. So they could be professional athletes.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Like Alice in Wonderland, feed out the window style. Yeah, dude, real big boys. Yeah, that'd be sick. Real big boys. I remember seeing that image as a kid and being like, whoa. You got turned on. Her leg is going out the fucking window and her head went out the chimney.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Dude. Yeah, yeah. When she eats that first fucking cookie or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking sick. Smoke weeded me to hell.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Dude, Alice in Wonderland was a trip, bro. When's the last time you put that one on? I need to dig that. Bro, I got kids. I put that shit on, man. I got kids. Did they fuck with it? That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Remember how many drugs used to be in children's cartoons? Fuck yeah. Rip it up, kids. There used to be a, there was so many drugs in cartoons. Yeah, there used to be a lot of drugs in cartoons. There's so many drugs in cartoons. They had to make the Ninja Turtles tell you not to do drugs. The Turtles had to come out and be like, dude, just say no.
Starting point is 00:49:20 It's not cool. Blake, you've got a tight 15 seconds. Blake's ready for fucking stage. Guys, come out to the comedy store. I got a tight 15 seconds. Yeah. Hey, come on over to my place. I'm backstage, Blake.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Come through the curtain. Hey, I say, I go like this. Okay, you remember, you remember kids' cartoons with, there were so many drugs that the Ninja Turtles had to tell you not to do drugs. And there's the light, and the lights on. And the lights on, and that's my time. That's my time.
Starting point is 00:49:53 That's always my favorite when stand-ups like don't know how to wrap up their set. And they, I mean, I've been, I'm guilty of this too. When they, when they look up and they're like, ooh, and that's my time. Thank you guys so much. They don't finesse just one more minute, you're saying? Right, right.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Like it's supposed to be like a taper down. Yeah, they don't, they don't just like end on a laugh and say, thank you, good night. Yeah. They, they're like, they're sort of like, well, fuck this. It's time to get off. So, look, that's my time. Like, all right.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Just go at the same time. I remember going to stand up a lot with Adam and like learning protocol of like the light with comedy. And what the light means is you have to get off stage, right? Yeah. And you know how like comedians, they try to make it real casual, they're talking, and then they'll give like just like the little head.
Starting point is 00:50:40 But then bros will run the light and like, the light will keep flashing them. So eventually, like after like the third time, they're like, no, I saw it. I saw it. But you know, the light guy wants to be then, then get the fuck off the stage, dude. Then get the fuck off the stage.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Dude, I know. I mean, like, dude, there used to be comics that would come to the improv and just run it by like 15, 20 minutes. Where you're like, they're doing like a 15, 20 minute set. And then they're up there for 30, 40 minutes. And you're like, Jesus, wrap the fuck up. Because that means that every other your comic is like, it's going to have a late bedtime.
Starting point is 00:51:17 They get bummed. It's backed up. And then a lot of other comics have like gigs across town that they're trying to do both spots. And then it just fucks everything up. Gigs and ha ha's. Adam, did you ever run? I can't remember if you ran the light at the improv.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Did you ever do that job? Oh, yeah. Had to flash them. Oh, like actually. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Like actually run the scheduling of the show and be like, bro, you got to get off.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I did. I did for like a month. And there's a lot of great shows at the improv. Like a lot of it's like one of the best comedy clubs in the country. There's also some bad shows. And one of the bad shows I fell asleep during. Oh, boy. And it's my job to run the music and the light.
Starting point is 00:51:57 So like comics on stage, it sucked. I was like probably a little hungover. And I'm sitting there watching as my job to give him the light. And I straight up fell asleep. And it was like a more amateur style night because it were hence them sucking. So like the guy didn't have enough time to keep going. So he never got the light.
Starting point is 00:52:17 So I guess he was like, uh, OK. So what do you want to talk about? Wow. And then then they run over to me. They like shake me awake. And they're like, OK. You were having a crazy dream. To their credit, they didn't fire me.
Starting point is 00:52:29 They were just like, all right. I guess back to answering the phone. You're banished. Back to the front door, bro. Damn. I love the idea of somebody always being like. Can I tell one more? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Just one more. All right. I guess I can't, guys. Thank you. Good night. Why don't they just play them off like an award show? Just start playing the music while their set's going. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Well, that has happened. OK. Hold on. I've seen that happen before where a comic book is going way too long. And they'll just slowly turn on music, fly in and then raise up the volume. Just Sandman sweeps them off. Yeah, dude. Straight up the Apollo, baby.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Yeah, people would get. But also, it's like. Right. You saw. That was such a great job because you saw like. Yeah, bring back the hook. The morning less. Certain people were at a certain level.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And then they would come in and they think they can run the light. And they show no respect. Oh, like the politics. And then a few years later, their career dips a little bit. And they don't get the same spots that they used to. They don't get the same love at the club. But if they came and they just crushed and they did their time and they were polite to everyone, they would still get their spots.
Starting point is 00:53:38 And it just showed like how like just being a good guy and not being a dickhead to everyone like kind of puts people ahead in this business and in life. Yeah. Do you get a little star by your name if you like run the light? Like, do they start to be like, yo, this bro runs the light? No, no, but it's like, no. If you are the type of guy that just runs the light. But usually people that are running the light are having like a career moment.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Yes. They're entitled to it. Right. Where they're like, it's happening. Where they're like hot. So they're like, you know what? Fuck this. I don't, I shouldn't just be doing 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:54:09 I should do 40 minutes if I want to do 40 minutes. Yeah. The ego, man. The fucking ego, bro. Yeah, the ego. It'll bite you, baby. It gets in the way. Cool back.
Starting point is 00:54:18 It does. But that was a cool job. Just learning that so early on and just going like being like 20 years old when I worked there 20, 21, 22 and just being like, oh yeah, like you really saw like ebbs and flows and how quickly that can happen. Yeah. Just people's shit cools off real quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Good perspective when you're coming up. Like who like who Blake? Who was the guy who said he liked the smell of cookies? That guy was hella funny. And then I never saw him again. Dov. Dov David off. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:54:49 That guy was hella funny. Cookies? Oh, well, he did. He did fine for a long time. Where did he go? I haven't seen him in a long time. He did okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:57 He did all right. And he moved to New York and I think he's still doing the same material. Oh, that's interesting. Would you say he's a comics comic or what would you say about him? I think he's super, super funny, but just it didn't ever write anything else. Like he wrote his like hour and then just stuck to that. Wow. So then you can get like, yeah, because you could fall into like, I don't want to do anything new.
Starting point is 00:55:20 I don't have anything new. Yeah. Because he crushes with that. Right. But then like after, I mean, it's been like 15 plus 20 years that he's doing the same type of stuff. Maybe he still likes the smell of cooking. And maybe he's doing different stuff now. But I mean, there for a while, I knew that that was the case with him specifically.
Starting point is 00:55:40 And he is very, very funny. And I hope he is writing new stuff because he's a crusher. Yeah. Total character. I love his whole stays. Wait, who was the guy who opened for us a comedy cocktail who played the guitar who just had a set? The tightest set that would crush. No matter what, no matter where.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Henry Phillips. Henry Phillips is very, was a very funny. Still is probably haven't seen him forever. Oh, what were his songs? Do you guys remember his songs? I can't remember. I also can't remember. I probably has CD.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I know that it went redheaded. I bet Glick has a CD. There's a 100% guarantee that Blake has a CD somewhere. I could dust it off. I'll burn it for you, dude. Please, dude. Even though I have no CD, CD-ROM, but. I got an external.
Starting point is 00:56:22 He had the joke where he was like in bed with his girlfriend. And he was like, he's like, tell me what you like. And she was like, I like when people do this. And he was like, people. Like how many people? Yeah, wheel. Right. Hey, guys, like I said, crushes.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Well, that's one of my favorite Jeff Ross jokes that made me laugh so hard, where he goes, yeah, so I got a date with a porn star. And, and she says, well, I have to work Tuesday. So how about Wednesday? And he goes, how about Monday? Yeah, so good. Yeah, that's good. Hey, let's end on that.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Yeah, that's good. That's good. Hey, I say, what if our podcast is us doing other people stand up jokes? That's kind of an angle. Yeah. Kind of cool. Other people's jokes. The appreciator.
Starting point is 00:57:20 This is Mencia. I am, I'm getting a little itchy though. I've been asked to get up and do stand up lately. And I'm, it's been a long while since I've done it since my special. I really, I haven't gotten back up since then. That's pre COVID. So now I'm, now that I have some time on my hands, I'm going to hop back into the stand up world.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Yes. That's awesome. That's a pandemic material. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. That's great. Oh, so much, so much pandemic. I haven't even been to the clubs.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I bet they were overrun by pandemic material where audiences were like, Jesus Christ. I'm, I'm here to get away from thinking about the pandemic. And every comic just goes on stage and talks about it for 20 years. You know, dip right back into your love for life, Adam. And I think you're going to have some winning jokes out there, baby. Yeah. Yeah. Are you hitting the note?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Gorilla as far, just do some gorilla as far and let's go. Do dust off the classics. I like the classics. Play the hits. Dude, I'm here to see Gorilla. I'll probably write some new ones. I'm here to see some juicy couture. Shit.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Juicy. I want new material. I want some new divine material. Yeah. Thanks, Kyle. Damn. Yeah, shit. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Even when you're working it out, I'll be there to watch you work that shit out. That's my favorite part of watching you do it. Oh yeah. Splinter dick. Don't be gay. He's still doing that one. The, the, the fumbling. Yeah, do splinter dick.
Starting point is 00:58:45 No, that was, that was a real, or that was one of my first, first bits, I would say. You want a mate? That was, what was the bit exactly? It was like a gay guy. Oh no. I'm going to go. No, it was, it was, it was a piece of shit. Is this part of one of your take backs?
Starting point is 00:59:04 No, it was like a guy trying to, a guy bench pressing and, and he's like, don't be gay dude. As he's like teabagging his eye socket and like doing all this super gay stuff. He's like, suck my dick. Don't be gay. It was like, it was an early, it was an early, it was an early bit. It's a strong premise. An early bit.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yeah. Yeah. Early. It was an early bit. It's, it's been finessed. A very homophobic man that is obviously very closeted. Right. That's the joke.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Or not, not, not that closeted. He's also all this time. Which is my life. Hey man, I just want to take back that. I said B rabbit was Eminem's character. Yo, I know eight mile and I just like, I know eight mile. I have. You don't evidently.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Who was it? Wasn't he B rabbit? He was B rabbit. What are you talking about? Yeah. Eminem was B rabbit. I thought B rabbit. No, he's friend.
Starting point is 01:00:00 No, that's Cheddar Bob. His friend is Cheddar Bob. His friend was B rabbit. No, he is B rabbit because he's white like a rabbit. His friend is Cheddar Bob. Okay, Adam. I would like an apology immediately because that's been eating away at my soul.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Oh my God. Okay. Well then I, I evidently don't know eight mile, which I'm fine with. Dude, now you have another take back. Well, I, I'm sorry that I, I hopped on, making fun of you for not knowing eight mile. Wow, man. Uh, but.
Starting point is 01:00:32 But what? Apologies never have butt in them. You, you must. No, it's true. That's a therapy, bro. That's a fucking therapy. Backed up. So you immediately retreated.
Starting point is 01:00:44 And because I offended you. No, no, good. You, you. Wait, you're going to take back your apology because he immediately retreated and decided not to fight you? What? What? No, I'm saying that Blake needs to stand up for himself.
Starting point is 01:00:57 He needs to stand up. Well, I need to do a lot. I need to throw out fucking 4,000 CDs too, but whatever. We'll work on you next time. Okay. On this. This. This.
