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
Starting point is 00:01:40 talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important, you're butt naked, and now you need that little trim of hair around your asshole to keep you warm or else you might die. If someone pulls a gun on me, I will fist them. And it just, it really did hit the spot. It really did. My orgasms have become a little bit more groundbreaking. Let's go. Oh, well, how does it feel? I think I'd be a good Kyle. Yeah, dude. Would Blake make a better Kyle than Kyle? Hey, if you're wondering why my voice sounds so weird in this podcast, it's because I'm wearing a mask. Be safe and be smart guys. Damn. Well, there's all those Kyle memes that are actually like really hard to stomach.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Are there any old Kiles? Kyle feels like a very millennial name. Like I have a lot of friends named Kyle. Are there a lot of? No, I'm a millennial, Anders. No, we're millennials. But how many younger, how many younger Kiles do you know than Kyle? Oh, I'm saying it's a very our age range name, Kyle. And there's no dad's named Kyle. I don't know a single dad named Kyle. Well, my parents did name it off of a guy who was credited on Hill Street Blues. Like they saw the name in the credits and they were like, that's the name. Wow. And so, so there was an older Kyle, obviously, because that was in 84. Kyle Gass. Yes. Oh, Kyle Gass. Okay. So there are some. So just remember that later for some
Starting point is 00:03:11 apologies and take backs, please. Thanks. For whatever reason, Kyle took hold in the year 1980 to the early 1990s. A true grasp, yes. And we know why. It's because of Hill Street Blues. Obviously, Hill Street Blues took it over the edge. Isn't that crazy? Did you guys watch that Anthony Michael Hall video I sent you guys of him screaming at people while he's swimming in a pretty normal hotel pool? Yeah. And you know what, if he was getting his laps in and they were breaking a swimmer protocol, I got his back. Losing his mind. He was just like, fuck you, fuck you and your whole family. Yeah. I love when people just snap like that. That stuff is like, yeah, obviously he's being a very rude dude during the filming of that,
Starting point is 00:04:02 but I wonder as an editor of like, what was before the end point and after the out point? You know what I mean? What is beyond the clip that we get to see? She obviously wasn't an improver because she kept just going, you're crazy. You're insane. And I'm like, well, that's not a yes hand. But you don't want to have any comebacks because you're rolling on them. That's true. You know, and I just want to say this real quick. I in the year 2002 put a few bids on the black jeans that Anthony Michael Hall wore in Edward Scissorhands lost out when they went over $120. It was just a little too deep for my pockets. Wow. People that don't know who Anthony Michael Hall is, which none of us really knew who he was. And we had to ask Anders. He is
Starting point is 00:04:45 from Weird Science and along with other John Hughes movies. And he was kind of a nerd when he was a kid and he must have that must have like, weighed on him. And then he was like, I have to lift weights. I have to be a joked ass agro dude. Hey, look, some people have to do that. Okay. He's a fucking chill. He's from breakfast club too. Right? Yes, he was the nerd in breakfast. Yes. I snapped yesterday. I'll admit this. I was out riding. Oh, first of all, I've been riding my bike, bicycle a lot lately. I got a road bike with the skinny tires. I wear spandex shorts and I get after it. I need to wear more neon. That's what I need to do. But I got hit by a car two days ago. I got it clipped by a car where I was listening to a podcast because I'm a podcast boy now and it
Starting point is 00:05:34 ended. And so it didn't just start a new podcast, which it's supposed to do. And so I had to open up my phone while riding the bike, like 20 miles an hour and try to switch podcasts in this car turned right in front of me. And I like bounced off the side of it, like clip the side of it, didn't fall. So am I good at at cycling? Yeah, I'm okay. So but then the very next day, a similar thing happens with a car, I kind of pull out in front of it, it lays on the horn to me and was like, fucking flippy now, like honking at me. And I'm like, you're in a truck. I'm riding a bicycle. Fuck you. He's like, you want to do something about it? I'm like, pull over, motherfucker. And I like totally snap. He pulls over, I get off my bike, he pulls over like a block
Starting point is 00:06:19 up, I get off my bike, I unclip and then I'm like clomping towards them and I'm like, you want to go motherfucker? And then he just shakes his head like because I look like such an idiot walking in those shoes. Yeah, wearing my spandex pants, marching over to him like a psychopath. And then he gets in and drives away. But I'm like, Oh, you're scared. Yeah, scared or I was scared. He was, I was both. Obviously, he was a little scared. He got in his car and drove away. He was afraid of your confrontation. So you know, I think that's the move. If you have to go full bore, full steam ahead, and then let them balk. Because if you show any weakness, then then they they've won this emotional battle. It sounds like you grew up around a bunch of bitches.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Because that would never work. Well, no, no, no. Well, then you just had to fight a man. Exactly. Oh, is that like a race? That's a rage against the machine lyric. And then you just fight a man. And then you just lose your house. He just takes your house. Yeah, that's a tough one. Can you like what are those clip shoes? Do they have like spikes at the bottom? No, they're super slippery. If he pushed you, you would have like ate it. They would, I would have got my I mean, if he would have just touched me at all, I would have fallen over that, you know, I'm going to get my ass kicked. See, I'm I'm much more into that the vulnerable male, you know, say you're sorry,
Starting point is 00:07:43 and, you know, apologize for yelling and well, for sure. I mean, I didn't mean to snap. I mean, I'm just I'm vulnerable because I was almost hit by why I was hit by a car yesterday or the day before that yesterday almost got hit again. And then this guy was mad at me and I'm like, dude, you're in the truck. I'm on a bicycle. Right. You like already sold yourself out. You're on a bike, not paying attention, switching tracks and shit. The getting hit by the car the day before wasn't it is on me. He did turn into the bike lane, but I should have been watching. Oh, this was two stories. But this yeah, that was the day before. Oh, I never got that transition.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah. And then yesterday, that's why I think I snapped as hard as I did. Because this guy honked at me as if it's all my fault. And it wasn't that time. Right. And I was hit by a car yesterday. I'm like, I'm not trying to go two for two. I actually think that might be a pretty normal reaction. Kyle, do you remember way back in the day we were in the city in San Francisco and we saw a dude get smacked by a car very hard. And the first thing he did was stand up and be like, why are you hitting people with cars? Oh, yeah. That was his reaction. That's amazing. Right. So maybe that was freaky. That was like coming back from the strip clubs or something
Starting point is 00:09:00 like that. I thought he was dead. I mean, that's what road rage is. Somebody just put your life in jeopardy and you fucking lose it because you you're like, whoa, hey, it's you're scared. It's it's a scary moment. So then you go into freaking fight mode or flight mode, but most people go into fight and then, you know, there you have it. Pick a fight with them. I mean, snapping. I remember one time I was out by the Whole Foods on Fairfax in LA and I remember like this guy honked at me for something and I just snapped and I fucking get out of my car and like, you want to go motherfucker? And then he gets out of his car and he's just jacked as fuck. Like this guy's a UFC trained badass. He's just look like he could
Starting point is 00:09:46 kick my ass. And then I go, I scream, you have no idea what kind of day I've had, which by the way, perfectly normal day. I think it was like noon. I was going to get a coffee. Like as my first outing of the day, I haven't done shit. And then this guy and then for whatever reason, I just snapped. Then I get in the turning lane and he pulls up next to me and he goes, Hey, man, I just want to let you know, I'm a big fan and I'm like, like ultimate deflator. And I was like, sorry, man, just really, really rough day. You just reminded me that when I was a PA, and for those of you at home that's a production assistant, you're basically like a gopher on a production for real time. Not an actual gopher.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Thank you for that. Not an actual gopher. Just for those outside of Hollywood. Great joke. Anyway, it's crickets, bitch. So I had like a designated parking spot next to our trailer. So I could like get groceries and like not have to deliver them across the lot. I get back from getting groceries and Terrence Howard had just parked in my spot and like was getting out and I was like, hunked at him. And I'm like, Hey, you can't park there. He's like, I got to go to meet who's Terrence Howard. Terrence Howard. Hustle and flow. Hustle and flow. Crash. Okay. That's called being the viewer, the listener. Okay. I was asking for them. I know who
Starting point is 00:11:15 Terrence Howard is. Obviously, I'm a huge Terrence Howard fan. I'm just for the listeners. Okay. It's for the listeners. I'm like, you can't park there. And he's like, I got to go to my meeting with his fucking dope voice. And I'm like, Terrence Howard, I don't want to argue with you, but you got to go. He's like, I'm running late, man. And I go, dude, I got groceries to get in here. I'm gonna get fired. Do you want to be the guy who got me fired? And he's like, damn it, man, I'm gonna be late now, man. And I'm like, dude, I didn't tell him I was a fan. Of course I'm a fan, but like, but you had halo top melting in your truck. I was toe to toe with Terrence Howard with
Starting point is 00:11:58 melting groceries. And I'm just like, dude, I'm getting paid $0. Can you please move your sick BMW? Damn. Terrence Howard has an awesome music album out as well. I don't know if you guys knew that. Yeah, it's hustle and flow. It's a whole soundtrack. Yeah, dude, it won a Grammy, brother. Oh, no, no, no, like it's hot out here for him. All right. Check it out. What do we think about his Iron Man move? He was like, I want some of that Marvel money, man. And they were like, no, we're going to get Don. We're going to get the Don. Who did they replace him with? Don Cheadle from Boogie Nights. Was that a money move? Is that what it was? He was like, I need more money. I think he wanted more money because they were like,
Starting point is 00:12:38 you're going to get a war machine movie at some point. And he was like, okay, cool, pay me for that. And they were like, well, not yet. This is all here to say. Who knows? Allegedly, this dude wanted more money. And they said no. Well, that's where they blew it. That's where they lost me on the Marvel movies. You were out once Terrence left. You know what? Me too. As a huge Terrence Howard fan who knows who he is, that's where they lost me. Allegedly. I do. I do love Terrence Howard, but I love Don Cheadle. So I was like, yeah, Don Cheadle is off the charts, man. He's the best. Yeah. Don Cheadle is the shit. I disagree. I mean, I hope maybe I'll work with Don Cheadle someday.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And if that's the case, I'll lie to his face and say, I like you better than Terrence Howard. I will lead off with that. But weird lead off. All right. Hey, man, how you doing? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Terrence Howard. Shit. You're the king. He doesn't do it for me. I don't, I don't. Who do you think's worth more? Oh, for sure. Don. The Don, baby. By the way, Ders has like a little remote control written by that thing from, a little remote control thing that has sounds. Waco soap store on Sunset in Los Foleses. Oh, the Boulevard. And you bought something from the 80s? The sound machine is like primitive. I don't know if they're primitive, but they're pretty good.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Okay. I'm pretty sure we're working on getting an actual soundboard. It's going to be amazing. It's also going to derail every conversation, but we're looking forward to it. Hey. Oh, that's taken a little too long. And I don't know. Oh, man. You should see the smile on my face, guys. Guys, we're going to get so good at podcasting, like 10th or 15th episode. We're going to be so good. Yeah. Takes 40. Takes 40, I think. It takes 40, but we're, by 15, I think we're really going to have it dialed in. Yeah. You know what I keep thinking about? I keep thinking about Anders losing out to somebody else on Michael C Hall's jeans. Dang. I mean, so I'm in college. I'm not dropping over $120 on like used jeans from
Starting point is 00:14:59 Edward Scissorhands. Can't do it. I went up to... I think I would drop that money now. What's that? That's a lot of money to be dropping on. I bid I think 99 and somebody went up to 120 and I was like, I can't do it. And they were black. They were black jeans, Levi's, in the era of like, you don't rock black jeans, like 2001. Damn. But they were his from Edward Scissorhands, man. This is pre-Kyle era. This is before kids were named Kyle. Yeah. Oh, man. Before they were getting baptized in monster or all those memes. That's kind of weird because like, I feel like Kyle is the Karen of, uh, of men. I did see that they were doing that. Like, they were like, who, what should we name the male Karen? And like Kyle was always on the list.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And I'm like, oh yeah. Fuck no. It's the hard K. It's the sound that is. I thought Chad is a better choice. I honestly thought Chad is the one. I talk about Chad and Derek's for like 20 minutes on, in my standup special. Todd. Todd's good. It's all Todd. Yeah. I feel like Chad is a bro. Well, Todd, to me, sounds like a dumb guy. Like, oh, good one, Todd. Yeah. Todd's an idiot. Good one, Todd. But that's who these people are. These people are idiots, right? That's, that's the whole thing. Yeah, for sure. Chad is more aggro. Chad's young from, in my mind, or at least he's a young soul. Okay. Oh, wow. Interesting. Chad is a young soul too. Oh, wait. Were we not talking about souls? No, no. I actually want to transition to souls. That's why I picked up on this. That's
Starting point is 00:16:28 the thing with Hondurasie. She's always talking souls. Yeah, I don't have one. So I just like to talk about. Heart and soul, baby. Come on. Give yourself some credit. You got a beautiful heart in there. I actually didn't think the name Karen was correct. It's not fair because I have an aunt Karen who's just a really lovely lady. I feel like Barb is like a closer to what that is. Susan? Susan? No, I disagree. Susan. Susan's pretty good. I think Karen is Slam Dunk. I have a friend named- It sounds made up already. I don't know. You're lying. Named. Yes, I have a friend. Well, I didn't know if we should- Kevin Hart, but not the famous Kevin Hart. My white buddy who is just a fat man. Your white buddy, huh?
Starting point is 00:17:18 Yeah, he's not the famous one. So anyways. And what race is he? Just so we're clear about it, what are we doing here? I don't know. And so he- We called him Karen like five years ago. We would call him Karen because he would just complain to me bitchy about stuff and someone came up with the nickname Karen and then hilariously this thing is caught on nationwide and people call people that are acting like fucking lunatics Karen. So let me just get this straight, your friend named Kevin Hart who lost his personal name to famous Kevin Hart was then nicknamed Karen and now has lost Karen to an international phenomenon. Oh boy, that's fucking sick. Can't catch a break that guy. Thuff break. Damn, feel bad for him. Good thing he's a total maniac.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah, but he still has that awesome nickname Wine Mouth, doesn't he? That's true. That only stuck with our close friend group. I don't think that is spread. Wine Mouth is a great name, man. That's a great name. Hey, Wine Mouth. Do not call him Wine Mouth at the office. He gave up the box wine, I think, because the whole thing was is that every time you saw the dude, he just had a purple mouth. His teeth were just always purple. Oh man, that's unreal. That is always such an insane look. The purple teeth. It's like the Joker, bro. For anybody. For if you're at a fancy party with parents and stuff and they're asking you like, so what's it like in LA? And they're just teeth are just red? And
Starting point is 00:18:53 we're like, yeah, that's what it is. That's just the deal. At what point does, because me and Chloe last night, we put a bottle of wine, drank the whole thing, no big deal. We're wild. And neither of us had Wine Mouth. Yeah, when does Wine Mouth kick in? When does it kick in? It could be two bottles. If you're drinking like shitty wine, I want to say. Maybe it like leaves a film or maybe it's a sign of great wine. Yeah, that's the good stuff. It could also be like a blacklight for brushing teeth. If like the Tarzan Listerine guy hasn't swung through that mouth. It's a gingivitis indicator. So you're always going to get rim shots? Oh, hey guys, how to avoid Wine Mouth. Brush your teeth before eating, not after. The tannins in
Starting point is 00:19:44 the wine cling to any plaque on your teeth. So technically, if you've got more plaque on your teeth, you're going to get more Wine Mouth. This just made it so much worse. This motherfucker doesn't brush his teeth. Wine Mouth is the blacklight of oral hygiene. Yeah, so now when you see your aunt Karen with the Wine Mouth, you're like, listen, lady, brush your teeth. Go brush your teeth. You're disgusting. Go brush your fucking teeth. Yeah, and maybe floss too. Flossing is more important than brushing. So do them both. How long do you guys brush your teeth for? How long? Yeah, and how much toothpaste do you use? 30 minutes. Just a solid 30 minutes. Just a solid 30 every night. I destroy my toothbrushes. My toothbrushes are absolutely
Starting point is 00:20:28 insane. So does my wife. It's like crazy. So does my two year old. It looks like fucking, it looks like Giles hair from Street Fighter II. My, yeah, my, my dentist was like, yo, you cannot use your rubbing the enamel of your teeth off with your toothbrush. What do you do? Because I would scrub in the shit out of a man. He's obviously getting out a lot of anger. Why? So this is me circling back to how long you're doing it. Like how long? Because I see like commercials that are like, you do 30 seconds this side, 30 seconds that side, 30 seconds bottom side, 30 seconds this and I'm like, two minutes. I do not brush my teeth for two minutes. I do. I brush my teeth for two minutes. For two minutes? Well, my,
Starting point is 00:21:05 my electric toothbrush has a timer. Don't you guys have electric? Yeah, it tells you when. No, I just fucking, I'm old school. I'm throwback. Oh, bro, you got to get a son of care. No, I go myself. I make the noise. It's so much work. I put the batteries right about my, huh? What? I like to put in that work, that little elbow grease right before going to sleepies. Obviously, you're damaging your mouth. This dude's like, oh, another workout. Wait, got to get all this pent up energy. I might snap on somebody. But what's up with the flossing? Who, who, who out of here is flossing? Who's doing that? Never. What? I'm flossing fashion wise, almost daily. Yeah, hell yeah. As everyone knows. He
Starting point is 00:21:44 stays flossing. Yeah, hell yeah. I never floss my teeth. That's wild. I don't do it as often as I should. Only if I get something stuck all up in it, will I floss it out? If it's a beef jerky day, you guys. If it's, yeah, from jerking a little hard that day. I have to floss every day. I'm not very, I mean, I'm getting better at it, but I'm, I'm supposed to because I ruined my gums from smoking for 15 years. And so I have to take care of everything. Can we play a piano on this, please? Soft piano, please. Thank you. All you smokers out there, just know that it's going to hurt you. What a nerd, dude. Smoke them if you got them. I don't care. You know it kills you. Bro, what? You don't smoke? I'm not saying I do. I'm saying if you want to smoke, go smoke,
Starting point is 00:22:24 read the packet. You go smoke. Not you, people. You go smoke. So you're encouraging the youth of America to go smoke? Yeah, why would you do that? I'm telling everybody to do what they want. It's on the packaging. Remember when we were in Australia? I'm not telling anybody to stop. Excuse me? What the fuck? I'm saying people know it's 2020. Smoking your lungs is not good for you. If you want to do it, it's called population control. Unless it's weed though. I do remember, I do remember the packaging in Australia and it was out of control and people were still pulling the cigarettes out and smoking on it. They're like black lungs? Yeah. So the photos on the packets in Australia and a lot of other countries, I believe, the packages for those of you that are
Starting point is 00:23:13 listening in America and you're like, I don't travel. Guess what? Get out there. Explore the world. It's beautiful. And when you go and you try to buy a pack of cigarettes, know that it's going to be fucking disgusting because the package just shows like a disgusting blackened lung or just like someone with their throat missing and just the grossest shit you've ever seen. It's like a nine inch nails album cover or something. And they're like $25 a pack. So you're paying more than like a dollar per cigarette. Crikey! Crikey, Mike. Crikey. I didn't realize it was that expensive. That's nuts. Yeah, it's like, it was elitist. Like smoking was like for the elite over there. Oh, that's what they should do here. I'm rich and stupid. The Kardashians just are smoking like
Starting point is 00:23:57 30 packs a day. Look at us go. They can't do it. Yucky. Bad for the image. You know, it's funny. I'm showing my kid all my favorite movies from childhood. And in every movie without fail, somebody is smoking. And like the first time he's like, he's smoking. I'm like, yeah, people used to do that. And now he's just like, I'm waiting for the smoker. And it always, it always happens. It's amazing. Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, smoke looks good on camera. That is something that I think. It looks good in person. Smoking's cool. It does. I mean, dude, I smoked for a very long time and every time I felt cooler. And you were cooler. I was cooler. It does not smell great. It smells bad. Do you remember when you almost started our house on fire multiple times, Kyle? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Because you had, when we were living off Packard, when you had the butt bowl where you like bulgers can where he would put all of his butts when he was done smoking. Let's see. That's cool. I never threw it away. I just kept piling butts on top of butts on top of butts. There was like a thousand. And so the, the butts just all caught on fire. And we came home one day and the site of our house was on fire because is that how it happened? Did we come home or did we come out? I think you came outside because I remember editing inside my room and you were just like, fire, fire, fire. I love those moments when you just, when you're like, it's kind of like snapping. One is just like pure panic mode when you're just like, and I mean, it was a big fire. It did. It like,
Starting point is 00:25:25 it made the side of the house. It charred the side of the house. It blackened the side. Yeah. It's those moments when you really find out what you're made of. Right. Do you panic? Do you fight? Do you fight? Thank you. What do you do? Well, I grabbed a bowl of water. That's what we did. That's pretty sure. Now that's called using your noggin. Pretty sure I did. You might have. I might have just screamed fire. I was gonna say, you wouldn't grab the bowl of water, but was there like a hose right there and you just ran inside for a bowl of water? No, the hose we kept on the back to, to mat down the flies. Yeah. Oh my God. That house was fucking disgusting. There was no AC. There was like thousands of flies. We had that horrible dog
Starting point is 00:26:04 that just shit on everything and ate our couch. Not a good dog. I just want to say hated that dog. Well, it wasn't exactly the dog's fault, Kyle. You did find it in a nuclear desert in the middle of California. Yes. He was raised for 11 months on the chemical borax. Yeah. He was a what? Well, out in Toronto, where I got the dog, like that's their whole, but yeah, give a little backstory. I was a grip on for much of my life before we got workaholics and I grip is a grip is someone that works on a film set that basically shapes the light and works with the lights essentially and pushes the camera or connects the camera to cars and does all that sort of like the construction worker of a set 100%. Yeah. The real cool dudes on the
Starting point is 00:26:52 set in my opinion, smokers, usually smokers, almost all of them. Okay. Yes. Yes. You're you know, I smoked a lot. Okay. But you found this dog. It was a puppy when you found him, right? Found him on a film set. And didn't Danny DeVito tell you you should keep the dog? Well, yeah, there was a I was working on a star studded film. Danny DeVito, Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Michael C. Hall. Really? What is this? No, it was called just add water. When I worked on it was called one part sugar, but then they changed the title to just add water. Yeah, this dog just kept hanging around the grip truck. And so I named him gripster and brought him back to my hotel room, which he destroyed. And I was getting paid nothing. And I remember
Starting point is 00:27:37 half my paycheck went to just the destruction of the hotel room, which for sure keep this dog after it destroyed your hotel room and then bring him back to our house where he destroyed our house. I remember we were gone one day. You know, we all had work and he had to stay inside for a couple hours and we came back. And there was just half of our couch was missing. And then there was just like 50 puke piles in our house where he obviously eaten the couch and then kept puking it up around. I know, I think it was one of those things where it's like, I want to prove to myself that I'm responsible. So I get a dog, but it just really highlights how irresponsible I actually am. It's like being the one to take care of the electric bill when
Starting point is 00:28:22 with your group of roommates and then you just never pay it. It's the same type of thing. And the lights kept turning off. Hey, Kyle, we got a shower outside. As an outsider, I just want to say like you might have not been a great dog owner, but this dog was just fucking bananas. It was crazy. It was all scatterbrained. It might have been blind. It would run into the walls all the time. It wouldn't come out of the pool. Remember that? It would not come out of the pool and just drink fucking gallons of water. And then finally when it came out, it would piss for like three minutes. That's right. Just standing there. You remember that? Rooster was a fucking party animal, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Yeah. When we played beer pong, you would just drink all the beer that fell off the table. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gripster rocked. RIP. Yeah. Gripster's RIP now. Yeah, rest in peace. Gripster. Oh yeah, I heard about that. You know what video I get sent every once in a while is, uh, who gets the dog? Oh, man. Oh, damn. Who gets the dog? Dude. We won a dog, me, Kyle, and our old roommate, Teddy. We won a dog on a TV show called Who Gets the Dog, where three groups of like family or friends, three different groups, battle over like who the
Starting point is 00:29:51 dog likes more and who they feel would be the best fit for this dog. And then we ended up winning. And I like, I got on all fours because I'm a fucking cheese dick ham and acted like a dog to like win. I was like, whoop, whoop. Yeah. It was really a testament to our acting, like being like, we want to win so bad that we'll put on whatever, we'll say whatever we have to say, hold the heartstrings of America. And you won the dog? Yeah. Won the dog. And then they, we have this, this dog, Rocky, who now lives with, uh, with Teddy's family, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Rocky and Grifster were the same one to me. Yeah, they kind of worked together. They look similar, right? Yeah. Rocky was a little weird. I don't know if Rocky's still alive.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I think Rocky might have just passed away. Oh, good run. God damn. He had been like 15 plus years old. Yeah. When we filmed that reality show, I remember that was my first like, because we had to do reshoots. We had to do, like we shot it once and then we had there's some reality for you. Something happened. I know something happened with the cameras and they're like, we got to come back and shoot again. And that's when we had time to really know what we had to do to win the dog. Right. But it also was me being like, wait, this is a reality show. You can't, what? Reshoots. It just felt so weird, man. Hollywood, bro. It's freaking weird, dude. Hi, I'm David Eagleman.

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.

Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington DC. It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. It's a freeway phantom. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother. That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people. I thought that they would catch him.
Starting point is 00:34:02 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. Guys, I didn't hit record. Are you kidding me? That would be so tight. Of course he didn't. I can't tell. He didn't. I can tell because it's not funny. Oh man. No, I did. I hit record. But I would be the one to not hit record for sure. But let's just circle back for a second. For a second, you thought you didn't hit record, right? Yeah, for a second. I looked at it and was like, is it? It is. Damn, I really thought that you got me on that one.
Starting point is 00:34:54 He got himself. That's what I'm saying. We would have done some re-record. This was not a prank. This was a, oh fuck, oh wait, let me get them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I got you. I got you really good. I'm a really good actor. I've won a Teen Choice Award, so. He was joshing ya. You just got joshed. Your boy got joshed. Here's a quick question, guys. What sort of elective procedure would you guys get?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Like, as far as like something that you feel you would get, if no one ever found out and you could just do it and you could add something to your life, air plugs, calves, you get a. Oh, like a plastic surgery? Is that what this is? Yeah, an elective surgery. I was thinking when COVID hit and they're like. Oh, I know mine. They were like, you could still go in for elective surgeries. I was like, I wonder if people are spending this time to like go, you know what, I'm going to be home alone. I'm going to get that new nose that I've always wanted. I'm going to, yeah. And then just playing COVID be like, yeah, like it just, my whole face collapsed.
Starting point is 00:36:01 And you're like, COVID did it. Yeah, it's COVID. It's a good time to do all this shit because then you, you're not seeing people and you could just go like, sorry, COVID. I, maybe I have COVID. I better stay in my house for six weeks and not come out. And then when they come out, they just got this super shiny, beautiful, beautiful, trim nose. Beautiful trim. Beautiful, trimmed top.
Starting point is 00:36:27 What is it? I'm asking you, Kyle. This is, I'm, I'm, this, it's called volleyball, baby. Hit the ball back. Mine's going to be a hot button topic. All right. Okay. All right. Uh-oh. Are you, are you going through with the skin lightening? Okay. All right. All right, Blake, let's start with you. What would you get? I really love myself. I have really no problem with any of my features.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Beautiful. I, uh, I guess, I just, yeah, bigger dick. Is that, is that a real one though? Can you get a bigger dick? Is that a, I don't think that's a real extension. Yeah. I think you can. I don't know if that's a real thing or not. No, there is, I think there, I think there's a way to just like snip something so that when you're flaccid, it's bigger.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Okay. Yeah, that. He's like, whatever it is, all of it. I'll risk it all. I think that's, isn't that more important that you could just be like in a public wherever and you're just like slapping your thigh and then you're like, done, my work, my work here is done. I'm pretty sure that's just a snip. I mean, I remember looking into it. But I think they can fill it like with fat, right?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Can't they make it thicker with fat? There is penile enlargement surgery and it's $15,000 with an upfront $1,000. Is that it? That's a deal. That's seven, eight inches. We should make a bet and whoever wins the bet, we all pitch in and get that person a bigger dick. That'd be fun. I like that.
Starting point is 00:38:00 But do we do it percentage wise or like you automatically have to add four inches? I think it's you're going to work with whatever they say they could give you. Is that what it is? I don't think they can say, I don't think you could go, I want four inches. Right. They kind of take pieces of skin from your body and add it all up into a pile. Okay. It says that it can increase length and girth, measurement around the penis, which is girth, of about one and a half to two and a half inches while flaccid and erect.
Starting point is 00:38:32 That's a lot. An extra two and a half inches. I'd have like a 14-inch dick. Okay. All right. Two and a half inches done. That is crazy. Adam, what about you? What's your surgery?
Starting point is 00:38:46 You know, I don't know. I think for sure, Dick, but also beyond that, I feel like all of us want that. I think you say it's dick and then you get, it's a twofer. It's a twofer. You get, yeah. If you get the dick, you get the other one for free. If you can get an extra two and a half inches, that's a jam bone right there. I don't want it.
Starting point is 00:39:07 This motherfucker had our call back. I don't know. Probably, I say I'm not losing my hair yet, but I know I've seen my father and I see all the men in my family and they're all pretty fucking bald. Mother's dad was bald? He died when he was like 40 and he still had hair. Like the photos, he still had hair, but I'm like, is that just how he's combing it? I don't know. My mom said he had a full head, but there was not a lot of photos.
Starting point is 00:39:32 I just want, what's cool is that you're like, I'm worried about my hair falling out, but my mom's dad, he died at 40, but I'm not worried about the genetic health implications. I'm worried about the hair. It's an elective surgery. He had a heart attack because he was like an alcoholic, you know? So I'm not stopping drinking, man. Come on, baby, let the good times roll. Yeah, wow, but you're not worried about that, no way.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I'm not worried about that. No, I'm worried about my dick and my hair. Probably my hair. That's my guess. I did get complimented on my calves the other day, so I don't have to worry about those. It's weird that some men are so worried about their calf muscles. Yeah, I don't give a fuck about that. I think it's guys who have everything but the calf,
Starting point is 00:40:17 and it was a very buff man who was like, hey, bro, what do you do for calf workouts? And then, you know, I have scars all over my legs. So I was like explaining, I was like, oh, no, it kind of looks like, but I do have big calves because I ride a bike so often. And I was like, well, it's kind of scar tissue. It looks more ripped than it actually is. And he goes, no, I was talking about your other leg that isn't scarred up. He did not give a shit about my scar tissue.
Starting point is 00:40:42 He was just talking about my calf muscles. That's awesome, though. That felt pretty good. That felt pretty good. Good job. So don't have to worry about that. But my hair may be. Did you guys swap cons, contacts?
Starting point is 00:40:53 We didn't swap any cons. No, it was in a weed store. So I didn't really go fully down the path, no. Yeah. Oh, I shoulda. Honors, what's your surgery? Oh, man, if I could change everything. Can you get a new body?
Starting point is 00:41:13 A liposuction. Liposuction is one. Maybe liposuction. I don't know why you're suggesting I should do that. Why don't you zap some of the moles, bro? That's a health thing. That's not really elective. Where do I have any moles?
Starting point is 00:41:25 I don't know, bro. I think. What the hell, Blake? I think, I guess my neck is kind of long. Is there a way to like, I don't want to be a shorter person if I could just shorten my neck. That's going to make you a shorter person. I hate to tell you.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Then can they just bring the rest of my body up? That'd be sick. A shoulder enlargement? Yeah, I don't know. I'm not too mad. I already did this. I already changed my teeth back in the day. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I lasered my eyes and I did my teeth. So this ain't a hypothetical. You've had a few electives. All right. Yeah, I've elected to have some.
Starting point is 00:42:03 What about laser your hair off so you could swim faster? You know what's funny? I think we talked about this before. I don't know if it was on the air. By the way, welcome to This Is Important. Welcome. And it is. This is important.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So important. Everything that we talk about. I said that like, I think I said after season three, I was going to get the hair around my asshole lasered off. Mmm. I remember that. Because like, we just don't, we don't need it. And like, I feel like you get like toilet paper
Starting point is 00:42:31 and remnants there. And I'm like, get it out of there. Yeah. But that is to, that's to protect your asshole. Yeah. If you're running through the fucking woods away from like wolves, we're in 2020. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:44 But what if you're, you're the plane crashes like in a book? Oh yeah, true that. Yeah. You're wearing pants and underwear, right? Yeah. But let's say it's hot. Those, it's, it started on fire and you come out and you're butt naked and now you need that little,
Starting point is 00:42:59 little trim of hair around your asshole to keep you warm or else you might die. Hey, you're not wrong. I'm willing to take that risk. I get that. It's kind of like with a gun, you know, with butthole hair, it's you rather be caught with than without. Because when you do need butthole hair, it's super important.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I guess I'd rather be caught without a gun in this situation. I don't know, brother. That's your choice. That's your choice. I'll tell you, my weapon of choice is right here, pal. Oh, the fist. Oh, the fist. You raised this fist.
Starting point is 00:43:29 If, if someone pulls a gun on me, I will fist them. Man, that makes sense. Uh, what made you not do it? After season three of War Collox. Yeah. I just didn't do it. I just was like, like, I just never like lined it up. I guess I, I wanted it.
Starting point is 00:43:44 And then by the time I like had. You were all talk, no walk. That's true. And you guys all know that about me. It is a funny, it is a funny discussion to say. I just didn't, I don't know. It was essentially like, oh, when I get that like butthole laser money, and then I just blew it on other things like fucking.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Butthole enhancers. Yeah, butthole enhancers. It's super hairy now. Like a house and kids college fund. Yeah, that kind of stuff. I'll do it. You know what? If we get, uh, I don't know what kind of like,
Starting point is 00:44:18 like some kind of podcast statistic. If we get X, I will, uh, get my butthole laser didn't report right back to all you guys and girls out there. Okay. All right. Well, we have to do a few things here. Can I tell mine? Oh, because it's a hot button issue.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Yes. He's been sitting on it. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead, please. Look, I've thought about this a lot and it also has to do with the dick. I've thought about this a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Well, obviously it's going to be about your dick. And we are going to need some soft piano. It's not what you think. Okay. It's not, you're going to, you want it to be smaller. Hang on. Let me get a drum roll. I want my foreskin back.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Okay. Now let's talk about this. You can stretch your foreskin. You can stretch it. There's a thing where you hook it up to your dick. It takes years. I've been thinking about doing this. So then maybe you really don't want it.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Wait, hold on now. I hear a real truth in Kyle's voice right now and I'm looking at him via Zoom and it looks like this is an emotional issue for you. Well, I mean, I had to go through this when I had a son and decide if I'm going to cut part of his wheat we off and I decided not to, not going to do that. He's never too late. Doing so, I realized that I want mine back. Like I didn't have that choice.
Starting point is 00:45:38 None of us had that choice. Are you jealous of your kid now? You weirdo? When you're changing his diaper? No, I'm happy that he doesn't have to have this realization one day that somebody else made the choice to cut part of his dick off. Yeah, okay. And I get that.
Starting point is 00:45:52 But isn't it weird that you have to like peel your son's dick skin back and clean his dick? I don't have to do anything. You just let it go. But doesn't it get gross? You got to clean it. Not at this age, not when he's this little, you don't do that. What are you talking about? None of you know.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I got two little dicks in my house. You don't know. Are they circumcised? Yeah, but they still got a little something. And I got to like go, hey guys, they're circumcised. You don't know what you're talking about. But they still got a little something. So I say you got to pull that back and get in there.
Starting point is 00:46:21 You're speaking on a false platform. You have no idea. I'm just saying none of us had a choice. So it's easy to defend it. Sure, sure. No. And when I initially heard the argument, I believe we've had this argument several times.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I thought it was a sanitary thing, but apparently that's a myth of sorts. No, it isn't a myth, but that's the same thing I'm talking about. It's a thing of the past like the butthole hair. Well, is it a thing where? Yeah. Is it a caught with then without?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Is there a time when you're going to need that foreskin? No. Well, all you guys are fucking talking about how you want bigger dicks. And when you cut your foreskin off, it does retract a little bit. Okay. Well, I need much more than that. Odds are if you didn't cut your foreskin off,
Starting point is 00:47:08 your dick would hang lower. So, but here's the deal though. If you have a little dick and you never got the foreskin cut off, you have no excuse. Now I know that like I can go home to my wife and go, look, do you know why it's so small? I got circumcised and it retracted. Yeah, lay off.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I'm good to go. Lay off me. Guys, with a quick Google, I found foreskin problems. Okay. Foreskin problems. Dryness, swelling, infection, irritation. Just like that. Just right away.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Foreskin problems. One quick Google. Dude, it's a campaign, man. He's dropping balls. It's a campaign from Christianity, dog. It's a Christian campaign. Big Christianity. Look at the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Look at the global statistics. I thought it was Judaism. Yeah, I thought that was... Yeah, which was adopted by Christianity as well. Oh, well guess what? They were right on the money as they usually are. I told you it's going to be hot button, baby. Dang, you weren't kidding, brother.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Yeah, let's get into this, man. So what do you... Told ya. Yeah. You know what I want? My elected... I want to get those nipple balls back under my nipples as possible, just to give me a little extra.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh, that'd be tight. But for real, if it's not having to do with the dick, I think I would do like a butt tuck or something, because I'm so sick of my saggy butt and I can't tighten it up. Well, dude, just do some of those police horse workouts. Yeah, do you do any squats or anything? Yeah, how about you just work out a little, do some squats and stuff? Is that how you get rid of it?
Starting point is 00:48:36 That's the start of it. Yeah, dude. I think I'd take mine back. I think I would full-on liposuction down to like 5% body fat. Just get rid of all of it, just like that. Over day, just be wrapped. Over day? This dude just said over day.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Well, I'm not doing it overnight. I know, but I love over day. I'm not doing it overnight. I'm doing it over the daytime. You go to like a store and they're like, we give you liposuction over day. 20, two for one. I'm not doing it overnight, though.
Starting point is 00:49:10 I'm doing it over the day. But that's cool. I'm not going in at night time to get it done. This is a daytime procedure. I'm going to start in the morning and they're going to work however many hours it takes and get done. Probably by lunchtime, I'll go home and have a shredded ass six pack and back. I'm with you, but I feel like you got to have
Starting point is 00:49:27 like 30 extra pounds to be doing lipos. Sure. Do you have to qualify? No, I'm not even saying like, I'm saying like, I wouldn't do it unless I got up to like 250 and couldn't shake it. Okay, money's not an issue here. This is for podcasts. This is just, we could do whatever we would like.
Starting point is 00:49:45 And it's just snappy, snappy, and we can be dumb. And yeah, so why would I do squats? I'm not going to do squats. I want my butt tucked. I like that. Well, you already chose that you're going to add four skin. Well, yeah, but no, I was just saying you could only choose one. You're not doing multiple.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Well, I was just going to the vanity. That one's like, I feel, I feel robbed of my foreskin. Right. You're, we're back to souls now. Yeah. See, if you really believe in souls, you know what I'm talking about. Okay. I like that.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Because when we talk about this in the workaholics writer's room, people were just like, I just want more feeling. Like that was like the huge thing. I guess like there's more feeling when you have your foreskin. It's true. Sure. I'm good with the amount of feeling I have. In fact, I'm trying to numb it down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Right. I don't need extra feeling. You notoriously have earth shattering orgasms. My gasms were, well, shake the house. Yeah. The gas man. I've definitely heard a couple when we were roommates and it was, it sounded like felt hella good.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh, man. I could barely make it out over you blasting red hot chili peppers every time. What is this? Stadium, Arcadium? Yes, that was his go to. That was weird, man. We would hear that all the time. Well, sorry, you guys weren't fucking.
Starting point is 00:51:08 No, bro. It's cool. No, we're quiet. We're just, we're respectful. Yeah, you guys were making love, not me. I was blasting Stadium, Arcadium and going to town. You fuck, I'm like, coitus. It's the orgasms.
Starting point is 00:51:20 He's got earth shattering orgasms, dude. See, I'm not trying to have extra feeling. I'm trying to. Yeah, imagine that. I will say that once I moved out and I had privacy, my orgasms have become a little bit more ground breaking, not earth shattering. And I think that it was the privacy and it's a shame that I was worried about what you guys thought about what my orgasms sounded like enough to keep it quiet.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Adam, I got respect for you for just doing you, bro. Well, I, you know, I out of a level and I also respect you. And that's why I played the chili pepper so loudly. Right. It's the perfect music to play while having sex, because it's a roller coaster ride. There's some, they once stop, and then every once in a while, they'll slow it down. And yeah. So wait, you can go longer than one song?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Yeah, bro. We fuck on concept albums, bro. Yeah, that's what's up. Nowadays, back then, no way, man. No way. I got to skip some tracks. Oh yeah. There's a few, there's a few special tracks, definitely.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Wait for the secret song. Ooh, the crescendo. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

Starting point is 00:53:49 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.
Starting point is 00:54:19 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, DC. It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible. I will admit the others when you catch me, if you can. Signed freeway phantom. This child was laying on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:55:02 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. Is my mother small? That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people. I thought that they would catch him. I thought it was just a matter of time. Is it possible that the killer is still alive?
Starting point is 00:55:29 Listen to freeway phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you guys have sex to music or not at all? No. I don't at all anymore. I feel like I used to all the time. I go back and forth. We got the sonos, so it's like if you turn the sonos on, then it's on. Then it's on.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Otherwise it's not, but we're still going after it. What's your number one go to? What do you, is it, obviously it's chili peppers as well? No, I don't really set it up. My wife likes it. It's just to drown out your breathing. Yeah, we exactly. So she doesn't have to hear you.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Dude, we were in therapy and she's like, I really want to play music while we have sex. And I'm like, that's cool. I'm down with that. Like whatever you want. And she's like, stadium, marketing. I'm like, that's what's up. And you're like, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Like a couple of days later, I hear fucking Marvin Gaye, let's get it on. Come on. I'm like, no way. Like it's this literal. But I knew what was up. Dude, it does work. Yeah, so you knew. You knew what was coming around the corner.
Starting point is 00:56:37 The few times that I have done it, I have enjoyed it. And it was too very like typical love making music like Usher. And it just, it really did hit the spot. New Usher? Yeah. Confessions. Climax? Some climax for sure.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I'm just saying. For everyone listening at home, Usher is a musician from a long time ago. Yes, allegedly. So you guys didn't make like cool love making mix tapes that you would hand out at school? I didn't. Did you guys?
Starting point is 00:57:09 I didn't either. Blake, it sounds like you did. What was on these mix tapes? And who are you giving them to? No. Because I know you and your friends weren't fucking in high school. Yeah, get on. If there was no Jill Scott in there, you're disqualified.
Starting point is 00:57:21 True. It's true. I know, I know their whole crew. That wasn't a high school fucking crew right there. No, not at all. No, no diss there. That was a cold. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:57:29 We did go to strip clubs though. Lot of magic, the gathering. Yeah. Gathering something. I remember when, I think I must have been living with Teddy or something, but I remember at Camden when we lived together, he came over and like your friends came in town and I was like, oh shit, we're going to party and everything.
Starting point is 00:57:50 And then you guys played Magic the Gathering for four days straight. And I don't know how to play. And so it was just me kind of drinking, sitting around the outside of the circle, being like, does anyone want to have? Yeah, dude. Went trying to go do anything like, nah, we're, this mage is, I don't even know how to make fun of it because I truly don't know Magic the Gathering at all. So you found yourself knee deep in a booster draft, brother.
Starting point is 00:58:14 You buy a box, you make a deck, you go at it for about four days with your tightest bros, and you'd come out stronger for it. It's a bro bond. Let's see, yeah. I never could get into it either, Adam. I was up in film school working on that. I never could get into magic with these guys. I always said that I would build a magic deck and I have never lived up to that promise.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I wanted to get into it only because I loved all those guys and I'm like, I'm trying to hang out. Like they're in town. I'm trying to have fun with Blake's like childhood homies who I got to know really well. And then they all come into town. I'm like, oh, this will be fun. We'll like play some foosball, we'll drink, we'll, you know, go to the pool or whatever. And none of those things happened.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Just magic the gathering for four days straight. Right. That was the thing that I had trouble with too, was just the obsessive nature of the game. And it's like, we should go do something else during this time, right? I think that touches more on some of the issues that our childhood friends have. They do have problems just being around people. Talking to people. Talking to people.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Right, right. Getting out of there. That's true. I mean, respect. Respect to that. No respect. Straight up, straight up. Let me know when you guys are done on magic.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Yeah, I think we're done on magic. Okay, cool. I think we're done on magic the gathering. We'll be over here. That's a wrap on magic the gathering. I got no reference for magic the gathering. I understand that. That didn't happen at all in your high school, huh?
Starting point is 00:59:45 I'm sure it did. I just did. We just, I wasn't, I didn't run with those wolves, you know. I neither did I, but I would see it in some of my classes where like, I remember, because I was in, I like did theater in high school. I really downplayed all of it. I would like act like I'm not in theater until suddenly the play was happening and I'm in it. You were singing.
Starting point is 01:00:08 And they're like, wait, yeah, I'm singing and dancing on stage. You know, my homies are like, wait, so you weren't helping your dad build a deck for two months? You should just come see it. It'll be hilarious. Like I'm like singing in stupid shit. I'm like, yeah, it's so funny, dude. I'm like singing and all this shit. I wear makeup.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I know what it's crazy. It's so funny. I love my own makeup. It's so stupid. I love it. It gives me confidence. It gives me a place in this world like so dumb. It's so stupid.
Starting point is 01:00:36 I love it. Yeah. I remember being like truly embarrassed. I remember making up a lie about how like I'm helping my dad build a deck. So every day, like right after school, my friends would be like, you know, smoking weed in someone's garage or drinking beers in someone's basement. And every day they'd be like, oh, you're going to come over to Ryan's house or whatever. And I'm like, ah, no, my dad needs help with the deck again.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I got to go do this deck. And then, and then, you know, six weeks later, we're doing the play. And they're like, wait a second. Where's this deck? Right. Where's your dad? I have a new deck. Then we go over to my parents' house and the deck is just still old and shitty.
Starting point is 01:01:11 And you're like, yeah, what are we talking about? What's the show? Yeah, what musical? Little Abner. It was, uh, I believe it was Harvey about the talking. There's like an imaginary rabbit. Yeah. Charping rabbit.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Is that real? Harvey. I feel like that's an original by a drama teacher or something. No, no, no, no, no. Harvey's a classic. I don't know Harvey. There's an old movie of it, too. Really?
Starting point is 01:01:33 Yeah. Yeah. Goddamn. I'm like a theater major. I feel like I know that stuff. I'm just blown away. Yeah, I don't know about it either. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Were you like a shitty theater major? It's like, oh. I mean, OCC, brother. Yeah, that's true. OCC. Harvey, 1950s starring James Stewart. Ah, James Stewart. I did have Jimmy Stewart in my mind, but.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Oh, I thought she said James. I thought that was a wonderful life for whatever reason. Is that what it is? I think it was in that, too. I think it was in actors in a bunch of shows. He did a few movies. Yeah, yeah. But isn't Harvey like the same premise as it's a wonderful life?
Starting point is 01:02:06 Harvey is a lot of different movies. He's talking to like a imaginary rabbit. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Does that check out? Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Okay. Are you grocery shopping right now? Respect. You're like half in. Oh, that's the same movie, right? Do you guys have two percent? Sorry. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:02:26 I had James Stewart in my head, too. Skim. Skim milk. Okay? Soy. I need the soy milk. Do you guys have apple? Do you have apple?
Starting point is 01:02:35 No, Kyle. They're different movies. Okay. Okay, Andrew. Right on. That checks out. Yeah, different movies. Well, no, it's good to know.
Starting point is 01:02:41 You know, I don't know a lot about that stuff. It's. Are you out of toilet paper? Okay, thank you. Okay. Yeah, yeah. We'll get there, dude. Podcast number 80.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Well, I'll be just doing chores. I need an Android pay. Do you have it? Oh, my God. You guys, I golfed yesterday. Oh, what? Wow. I went and golfed with some homies
Starting point is 01:03:04 who I haven't seen for a long ass time. It's COVID safe. And they were like, we're going to Torrey Pines. Now, for you people at home, we don't know what Torrey Pines is. I didn't either. But it's like a famous golf course where they do the U.S. Open.
Starting point is 01:03:18 And it's like a public golf course. But it's also like on. Is it a fancy one? No, it's a public course. But it's all, but it's on the ocean. So it's like sick. And I don't know how to describe my golfing. It is the worst golfing you've ever seen
Starting point is 01:03:37 in the way that like it starts off funny. And you're like, well, you know, you'll warm up and everyone's like laughing. And then they're just like, you know, it's a tough sport. And everyone's just sad. Start to feel bad for me. I was so bad.
Starting point is 01:03:49 I was shooting like solid 9s and 10s per hole. Yikes. I mean. Yeah, golfing just really fucking sucks. It's not easy. As far as a sport goes, it's definitely more. It's just fun to get out there with your friends and get drunk and drive golf carts.
Starting point is 01:04:05 And then the hitting the golf balls is a thing you have to do. Secondary. I do like golfing though, how much people respect golfing. You could go like anything else. If you're like, hey, I'm going to go play video games for four hours.
Starting point is 01:04:19 So don't talk to me. And people are like, what an idiot. Yeah, they're going to get on your hands. This guy sucks. No, we have. But if you're like, I'm actually going golfing in the afternoon, so I'll be out of commission. And people are like, okay, golfing.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Respectable. Eight hours. That's all you need. Eight hours of golf. Okay. Yeah, it takes forever. After nine holes, after nine holes, I was like, we're done.
Starting point is 01:04:41 What are we doing here? But they were good. They were like hitting a couple of pars here and there. Well, that's the other thing. If you are really bad and it's taking you 10 shots, you're just making the day. I like, I skipped three holes and they were like, you sure?
Starting point is 01:04:55 And I'm like, guys, let's get the fuck out of here. This isn't fun. No, it's not fun for me. Oh, dude. Because they were just waiting on your ass? No, no, no. No, they weren't even waiting on me because like, we were walking, we weren't on cart.
Starting point is 01:05:08 So we were just like, we're hoofing it. So like, I would just hoof up to my ball, which would be halfway to where their ball is, hit it again, whiff it, biff it, fucking shank it, slice it. I'm like a fucking Daft Punk song. Yeah, yeah. Well, you have to put your time in.
Starting point is 01:05:22 I mean, when's the last time you swung a club? You got to go to the driving range, bro. Years ago at a bus. Yeah, no way. There's no way you're going to jump right back into golf with all of the mechanics needed to be good. I know. It just hurt.
Starting point is 01:05:34 I was like, God damn it. My dad's so good. Club champion, two years in a row. So it's in your blood. I remember a quote from your dad about golf. What was that quote? What was that? What was that when we got wizards up on something?
Starting point is 01:05:46 We got a... Oh, yeah. No, no. We sold the TV show and he goes, well, I got a hole in one. And I'm like, okay. That's right. But now you realize how fucking hard that is.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Fair enough. Yeah, now I get it. It's actually harder to get a hole in one. Us getting workaholics was our hole in one. A little bit. No, he's saying it's not. Does anyone have any takebacks, apologies, or... I know you do.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Or what was the other one? Is apologies, takebacks, and compliments. Compliments. I'd like to compliment Kyle on keeping it real, even when he obviously sounds like a true psycho about foreskin. And I want to say sorry for not taking back that compliment. So you're apologizing to the world.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Thank you. You know what? I'll take that. I'll take that very much. And I will also compliment Blake on his knowledge of magic. It's always been something of a wonder for me and his keeping it real when it comes to nerd culture, something that I believe that I am falsely attributed to.
Starting point is 01:06:49 And you are my rock when it comes to nerd culture. And thank you so much. He's a real nerd. I am. Thank you. Yes, and I love you. I love it too. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Thank you. I just want to compliment Derz's use of sound effects today. Wow, we've added a whole new element to the show. I was going to compliment Derz on that too. That was really, that was a fun extra layer. And I want to say thank you so much for bringing that literally to the table and spending those solid $6 on that little machine,
Starting point is 01:07:20 worth every penny. Absolutely. Even though some of them draw out a little too long, but you know, you got to fill air space. So thank you. OK, so are you taking back the compliment or? No, no, I'm just chipping away at it. It's still up there, but I've now chipped away at it.
Starting point is 01:07:36 You have to have a thousand cuts. Yes, thank you. Hey guys, this was important. It was important. It always is. See you next week. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.
