Welcome to This Is Important, a production of I Heart Radio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important! Today on This Is Important... As soon as I talk, you guys is shit on me, man. Come on. I would try not to black out. Is it legal in the land of Skah? Let's go! Is it legal in the land of ska?

Let's go My god you guys hey guys we have a new president Apparently and we're really happy with it. Are you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I just, yeah, man, lean into it. Are you? Yes, sir.

Hey, all I know is that person. That person rocks. Is my commander in chief. We're one week in. This is the best week I've had. I don't know if they rock or not. I think it's awesome. I don't know if they rock or not. All I know is they are the president. Right. Do you guys like when people

say it's not my president? I go, but it is. Yeah, I don't like that. It's your president. I don't know what to tell you. I don't like, uh, and I know I'm, I'm old-town. I don't like a lot of the verbiage. I don't like when someone and Blake does this a lot says my truth Like I hate I hate my truth. Yeah Yeah, yeah, you say I'm sure Todd can look up and tell you the exact episodes that you've said. Yeah, don't don't make him do it I mean he could do it right now, but yeah, it's gonna be a waste of time That drives me that drives me nuts.

And there's a handful of people who live their truth. Do you not live your truth? You need to live your truth, Adam. That doesn't even make any sense. What you just said makes no sense. That concept eludes you? It doesn't elude me. It doesn't make sense. So just be... If something doesn't make sense and you say it eludes you? It doesn't elude me, it doesn't make sense. So just be, if something doesn't make sense

and you say it eludes me, you're a fucking idiot. Oh, when you put it that way. Well, obviously, the president you wanted lost and the president I wanted won and we're one week in and they're doing great. Okay, and I love this. I do like the idea that we're like in a civil war and like nuclear weapons have exploded and gone off

and like this is never even gonna air. Thank you God. And we're still coming to you live from this is important, feels good. So if you haven't gathered, we are recording this before the results have been tallied. Yeah, I love you guys. So we don't know who the president is.

You know, that being said, whoever won, they are our president. They won. And I will follow. I don't know what your truth is, but the truth is they're the president. The truth is, whoever wins will win. That's cool. This is like a cool time capital. We have like a cool moment right here where we're sort of, you know, like we can- Keep going, keep going. Keep going, it's a cool moment.

That's it. Keep going and just describe how and why it's cool. Because you know, you just don't know. Maybe the world really changed in one week. Maybe it got really weird. That's kind of the premise of my joke about the nukes and the yeah. I know, I know, but this is cool

that we're living in this moment. Anything could have, the world could have changed so much in one week. Yes, it is cool to be like, whoa, wait a second, I don't know what's happening next. Yeah, it's kind of fun. Almost about everything always. Okie dokie.

You know what is cool though, is it doesn't even matter that much You know what I'm on that page. You know it like when everyone got so mad when Trump won Whenever he won 16 I want to say right when he won in 16 People were so mad and then it kind of you know it was kind of just whatever nothing really changed the abortion bans abortion That was the bomber that was the big deportation. I think that is kind of the only thing that I'm like well alright That's the bummer. That's the shitty one. We really like those well beyond that it was just like yeah

I don't know. I'm sure people got tax breaks You know what I like to think Adam? I think people got emboldened. Okay. We're gonna go viral with this one. Yeah. I just, I just, I'm sick of people getting so mad about stuff. Yeah. Adam, I totally agree.

I think about this a lot. I think that we empower this stuff a little too much, and it feeds into the beast. We almost create this beast. It's like, yo, just go about your daily life. There's gonna always be some dope as a president. But when did we start making it affect our every day so much? Or like, it is wild.

It's the 24 hour news cycle, man. People just sit and watch it. It rots their brains. Yeah. It's bad. It's wrong. And then this goes But just You can constantly be pissed Adam used to say I'm fake angry

Yeah, people are like this now angry constantly and they've been spank angry for so long. They're real angry now Yeah, now they're real angry. They forgot that they were pretending. Yeah, like it is wild. You know how like if you're ever in a bad mood, like when I was a kid, if I was in a bad mood, my mom would just tell me to smile and I'll be in a better mood. And it works. Like if you smile and you're just like, you know what, I'm in a better mood. Then you'll just be in a better mood. That's what I tell any woman walking past me on the street that looks like they're having a bad day. I go, I say, sweetheart, smile.

It's science. Instantly, and I'm like, you're welcome. I'm glad you're saying this. This is so important. Gotcha, bitch. For any of our male listeners, who I believe are 85% of our listeners. Yeah.

Freaking see ya. If you see a woman, it's your duty as a man to tell her to cheer up, to smile, to cheer up honey, sweetheart. A man of machismo. That's machismo. Yes, you have to say things like that. Sweetheart. They love them.

Doll face. Call her doll face. Hey, doll face? Why the small face? Yeah, smile. Smile for daddy. Yeah. Hey, doll face. Why the small face? Yeah. Smile. Smile for daddy. Yeah. Yes. Definitely a woman you've never met on the street. Definitely say smile for daddy in like a fun, high pitched voice. I'm a dude.

Smile for daddy. Right. Daddy has like three E's at the end of it. And then she'll think of her father who we hope is still alive. Which again, and there comes that which again and there comes that smile and there comes that smile there it comes and it blossoms right in front of you this is important yeah that shit's important yeah fine we're doing the we're doing the Lord's work speaking of blossom how was Jeopardy pal oh yeah I can't talk about it yet I can't talk about it yet. I can't talk about it yet Okay, when when can you talk about jeopardy dude? Do you know when you could talk about jeopardy? What is never?

I don't have an air date Don't have an air date. Do we talk about on the pod yet, or do we talk it off off the pod? We talked off. We talked off a little bit. Yeah watch me talk off. What do you mean? We talked off a little bit. Yeah, watch me talk off. Was it an embarrassment? Is egg on your face? I can't talk about it. I can't talk about it. Look, here's my- Adam, there's no doubt that it was, but-

Here's my pitch. I think that we should do like a episode watch-along. I think we should watch it together and I can commentate it along the way. If you organize that, I'll do it. Yeah. If you put that together. Todd, it's me and you, brother. Let's get after it. No, no, no, no, no. If you organize it, Blake, if you spearhead this, I'll do it.

Well, spearhead is different than being the one to organize. I believe Blake can spearhead and spearhead is him saying, Hey Todd, can you do this? I don't even know if he can spearhead. Yeah, that's right. No, I just need to know If you can carry the brunt You can carry the brunt. I definitely can't carry the brunt But I need to I don't know how to get it So we are watching along while we do the pod unless we're in the same room together Which I know Adam says we're not allowed to be for some reason I don't I don't get it but can you

figure it out dude I'm I'm asking to go to your children's birthday parties you're not allowing it to happen Durs is invited to your children's birthday parties me and my family we're not allowed but apparently it's just me and and a plus one Wow yeah it's intimate my mom's in town can't bring her I guess it's intimate. Yeah, sorry bud It's real real intimate. Yeah, we're gonna have a sit down. It's good vibes. Ateeb is going he doesn't have children But I don't hate hates children. He goes on though. He's well documented as saying he hates them. Okie dokie You know, okay with this new president, I guess that's fine. Allegedly.

And I don't know who it is, but. I think it's been a great week. Uh oh, the circle's out. Circle jerks. Damn, look at that thing. Oh, yeah, it's big. This is my big blue. Yeah. Is that why your arms are so big?

Have I already said that joke? No wonder your arms are so big. You're fucking lifting that circle. Adam's hitting the circle. It's kind of dope. The bummer about the stem cells, I can't work out. There's a lot of bummers. But I can't work out for three whole weeks. Oh my god. That's got to be one of the longest stints you've done. I think so. I went a month last year when I was thinking maybe working out is what's causing my body

to fail me. And it was just as bad, if not worse, during that one. It's not the working out. You know, I was thinking about that the other day because you were like, yeah, I biked so hard that like my muscles, but then I was like, do cyclists get the same thing? Ups, winning. I remember you thought it was from biking. Well, no, it's because I,

because one leg is shorter than the other, so I have like discrepancies. So certain muscles get stronger while other muscles sort of just turn off and don't work because the other. I didn't realize the discrepancies. Yeah, yeah. And how long is that third leg?

Eh? Wake up! It's like seven inches. Fair enough. discrepancies yeah yeah and how long is that third leg like seven inches my cock yes points no well that's it well yeah yeah it's about it's I wouldn't say I don't know if it's a full seven but it's it, it's, you know, it's there. It's close. It's science. I feel like you round up, you know? Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. I say, yeah. Round, round my shit up for sure. Yeah. I'm gonna need a round up. Right. There's no discrepancies there. That makes sense.

And so you took three weeks off of working out and you're going to, and it didn't work and now you're going to have to. Here's my question, are you going to ease back in? Because I always have a problem easing back in after an injury where I'm like, I could do this again. They told me that I need to, I could start to work out on the third week, but I have to do one third of the amount of weight that I am used to doing.

Oh God. And to me, I'm like, is that even worth doing? You need another four inches. Should I just not even work out that week and then actually start to work out again? You know what though, here's the cheat code for this, just slower movements. If you're doing the bench, do a third of the weight,

but just do it hella slow. Do 28 seconds up and down. Well, I'm just saying like three seconds down, three seconds up, like, it's just a different thing and it fucking sucks. And by that 10th rep, you'll be like, I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.

And let me watch. Okay. Yeah, come on. I would love a workout friend. Let me get that daddy sauce out. I'm gonna be up in LA the next couple weeks. I'm here, I got stuff to do, so I'll be around. Dude, let's go to the Dog Pound together,

me and you, let's do it. Oh, shit. I love that. There's an LA Dog Pound? Yeah. Cool. Yeah, they opened it a few years ago, actually. It's there.

Dog Pound is like the cool gym that you would go with Justin Timberlake and stuff? Yeah. Yeah, that was when I would be in New York working, I would go to the Dog Pound is like the cool gym that you would go with Justin Timberlake and stuff? Yeah. Yeah. That was when I would be in New York working, I would go to the Dog Pound and it was just like who's who of who's working out. That's crazy. Yeah.

It's just like hot models mostly, right? It's mostly hot models and then- Well, they have like a deal with Victoria's Secret where like those models- What? Like Victoria's Secret pays them and so the models can just go work out there for free. And then it's just like actors who are working out and then like super rich bankers. And like, yeah, it's a vibe.

It's a whole vibe. Yeah! But they destroy you. You show up there and they destroy you. That's cool, dude. And you were just hanging out there. You just were there sipping smoothies. Just sort of- I'm like, y'all swim?

You're like, why are you working out eight hours a day? This is a hell of a workout right now. Yeah. You know, the- Bro's still here. What's my little- this is my only claim to fame is that I worked out with a dude who started the dog pound before the dog pound existed so I'm kind of like an OG. You're a puppy. And nobody who works there now knows who I am except for Kirk

who's the dude who started it. Yeah Kirk I worked out with him the one time I think you connected. Kirk is such a strong name I love that shit. And he's great he's a great guy because he which I love people that used to be fat. It's one of my favorite. I love an ex fatty. Yeah, he was like a 400 pound high school dude who just shed and maybe not 400 because he's he's short but like big he was a big boy. Shed the weight, kept it off and has like a he's a real like you're like oh weird a bunch of Victoria's Secret models what's the guy who runs this place like he's the nicest person ever yeah and it's just like yeah I think that's why I feel like that's why

it works that's why it works yeah he feels when my my buddy Davo who went with me to Medi and he hooked up the whole thing for the stem cell treatment at Bio Accelerator. And he's sort of a similar vibe. He didn't used to be 400 pounds. Loser. He's just like the nicest guy. It's science.

He just knows every celebrity possible. Like he was just talking to Ric Flair on the phone and then Aza Gonzalez FaceTimes him and then Demi Lovato is calling him. That's the spectrum. This was all happening like right in front of me. I'm like, this is a wild, a wild Rolodex you have, homie. I do like the idea that he has an assistant and he's like, and then call me from the Demi Lovato album when I'm in the car with Adam, or from the phone,

and then call me from the Chuck Norris phone later. Yeah, and then Rick Flair. Follow up with the Rick Flair. It was Rick Flair. But no, Rick Flair FaceTime him like. Why is Rick Flair? He's flaring up. Man, fuck if I know.

Bumble sow! Rick Flair's just hitting people up. I have no idea. If this guy is dealing with like celebrities' health, Rick Flair's calling him a lot. Ex-Wrestler. Yeah, being like, there was a lot of like, can I, because we were posting a lot when we were down there, and people were like, how can I get down there? People actively want to go check this shit out.

So when he's there, people are like, this is the green light. This is a good time to go. He's kind of like the gatekeeper for the place or? Yeah, I think so. I think I think I think official bioxcellerator wants to get celebrities down there to help spread the word because they're the farthest clinic from America. So there's another clinic in Panama. That's another thing. There's another one in Tijuana.

That isn't Bio Accelerator, but they kind of do a similar thing. And Bio Accelerator is kind of far, you know, Columbia. So they want celebrities there to wave the flag. But that's cool because you got to go to Columbia. I wouldn't want to go to like Tijuana's right there. You know, I'll go there right now. But I want to check out Columbia. I need a good reason to go to Columbia. Yeah. And mostly the mall. You mostly want to stick in the mall.

Yeah, the log ride. Yeah. It's legendary. And with this new president, I don't know if I'm even allowed to leave the country. Yeah, OK. Yeah, we're not sure. We don't know.

We're not sure. Whoever it is. We don't know. Whoever it is. We don't know. If you go, you might not be able to come back. That's the problem here, as my guys sip their beverages after that hot take Yeah, we whenever you talk I go great

I can just tune out take a sip of my do cuz I ran out of well It's because Blake talks so rarely that I feel like you kind of want him to to wind up and tell the story So mean you can finally get a break do right? Mm-hmm finally get a break take a break. I and you can finally get a break, dude. Right. Finally get a break. Take a breather. As soon as I talk, you guys just shit on me, man. Come on.

Leave me. Stop, bro. Is that how you, is that your truth? Is that how you feel? Stop. Finally, I'm able to take a break. Blake's talking. Stop, man.

Come on, man. It's not easy. Blake, you can shit on me. It's not easy out here. Go ahead and shit on me. No, I don't want to. I don't like doing that. I don't want to shit on you guys. I like you guys.

You're my friends. Well, Blake, I love you. Blake, I love you. Adam loves you. You're one of my greatest friends. So how does that work? I love you too. I'm not invited to your children's birthday parties,

but you're one of my very best friends, and I love you. Top 10 friend. And you know what? I'm running that up the poll, and trust me, you are invited and you are more than welcome to join the birthday party. So you get more than a plus one?

Okay. Well, you know, when you're invited late, it's almost as if they didn't remember you. And I think I saw on my algorithm, something said, like, if you're invited late, don't go. Ooh. I think like, maybe Elliot, maybe Elliot, On my algorithm something said like if you're invited late, don't go Like maybe Elliot maybe Elliot this psycho and the Elliot Elliot guy what he might have said that so what no, yeah, come on. Don't listen to Elliot Elliot isn't right about everything I don't think he's talking he's up there. He's batting pretty high pal. Yeah. Yeah, take your shirt off

Do you like how you look? I'm fine with it I don't a loser This is why I don't follow those accounts. That's what Andy Elliott does and dude it is brutal the guy's a absolute psychopath Maniac True psychopath. I did like one of his videos the other day. And I was like, is this going to come back to haunt me? Because I actually genuinely did like it. I was like, this is great.

Why? I love it. What was it? A guy making fun of fat guys? Well, what did you like about? No, no, I can't remember what it was. I can't remember what it was. I think the big problem is is more that other people will see that you liked it. And that's like, oh, dirt Ders fucking supports this angry person.

Oh, someone DMed me being like, I can't believe you're an anti-vaxxer. Like fuck you, Divine. Okay. And I'm like, what? Okay. And I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm not. Live your truth.

I got the vaccines. You want the floor? And if you don't want also, if you don't want to get the vaccines, what the fuck do I care? I don't care. Everyone should just do themselves. But apparently, and there's a whole thing on Reddit about how I liked a Woody Harrelson post that was an anti-vax post.

Okay. You just like Woody Harrelson. Apparently I liked it, but I think I just liked Woody Harrelson post that was an anti-vax post. Oh, OK. But you just like Woody Harrelson? And apparently I liked it. But I think I just liked Woody Harrelson. I don't even know if I read the... And I looked at it and I was like, I don't even remember reading this. I must have just saw Woody post in a thing.

Right. Because it doesn't post often. Sure. Sure. It must have just posted and I just liked it. And then now people were like going after me for liking... Oh, yeah. Here, Todd has it right here. and then now people were like going after me for liking. Oh yeah, here, Todd has it right here. What people should know by now is like,

what we're doing, not thinking about, we're not just thinking that much about it. I'm never thinking about anything. Hardly ever. Say it! Hardly ever in my thinking. Same, yeah. Like, that's what I'm saying, I'm like, would you think that this was like a statement?

Yeah, an automatic man's a cell phone killing time. Oh, so yeah is so goes is Adam an anti-vaxxer This is on reddit just saw he liked an anti-vax post by Woody Hurlson on IG My guess is Adam just blindly liking the post there. Okay from his friends. Okay, but this but he has been experimenting Okay, but this, but he has been experimenting, experimenting with alternative medicine. Okay. Taints therapy recently. Is this a chop? Backchops. So.

Is this a chop? He's been experimenting with. Okay, so no, most people are in the comments saying, who cares? Yeah, this is dumb. But then a couple people DM'd me and were a little polycharged about it. Who cares? Yeah, this is dumb. But then a couple people DM'd me and were a little polycharged about it. Who cares? Yeah, good.

Yeah, good. Come on. Yeah, good. Well, but are you anti-vax? Because with our new president, there is a wrong answer. Dude, there is part of me that says maybe the vaccine is what made my body fall apart, and I don't. There is a small

part of me that thinks that could be why suddenly I have spasms all over my body. Didn't have it before the Vax. Didn't have it before the Vax. But would I get it again? You know, probably. Probably do. You might have even gotten it the other day when you're at CVS and they go, you want the thing?

You go, okay. I got to go. But yeah, sure. And then you're like, could and they go, you want the thing? You go, okay. I gotta go, but yeah, sure. And then you're like, did I just vaccinate maybe? Fine, yeah. Also you had COVID a record number of times. Yeah, you did tons of COVID. You had so much COVID. My man was like, COVID.

No, I don't know, I don't know. Is 11 a lot? It's crazy, you're a survivor. You're dipping in the dubs. Getting COVID 11 times a lot. I don't know if that's a record or. You're a survivor.

I had a big squirrel outfit. Ders always, I always appreciated, because Ders doesn't seem like the type of guy that would go all in on Halloween. Like if you just were to meet you at a party. Seems like a Scrooge. Yeah, you seem like a little bit of a Scrooge McDuck. Mm-hmm. That's what I dress as.

Yeah. Oh, shit. But then Halloween comes around and you're down to clown, which I really, really like and appreciate that about you. And you win as a squirrel. Why a squirrel, buddy? Yeah, what's going on there? So my...

Big ass nuts. My middle, well, so I'll get to that. Okay. My middle kid wanted to be a beaver. I think I mentioned that. And so it was like, okay, cool. His favorite animal right now is a beaver. Brad.

Our youngest was a lemur. Emma dressed up as a koala. Okay. Oh, look at this. I mean, the lemur and the koala, a koala. Okay, oh, look at this. I mean, the lemur in the koala Australian style, and then I went and tried to find my animal, and I got the squirrel costume. And so then I bring it home.

These nuts. And I put it on, and it's got two Velcro strips right in front of my dick. Perfect. And I'm like, what is this? And then I go in the bag, and there's these two like nuts and you're supposed to like acorns and you're supposed to stick the acorns in front of your nuts because you're a squirrel and these are your nuts. Cool dad.

Yes dude. And my kids thought it my kids thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Yeah of course. And I was like yeah. So you put them on? Oh you have to. No I took the nuts off. No.

You what? You didn't walk around with the big nut buddy. No, come on. Come on Why not? It's Halloween. You could be a little naughty No, cuz you know what someone could have said like oh your nuts aren't big enough And then I would been just decimated the rest of the night I wouldn't have been able to like smile if someone walked past me and said hey, buddy smile and be like no I can't Yeah, can't do it now What is it? What is the protocol here for trick-or-treating? Cuz I was cuz we didn't go trick-or-treating Bo

Isn't old enough to go trick-or-treating cuz he can eat candy, but he can't trick-or-treat you allow me lots of candy though No, he can't eat candy. He can't eat candy. You give him like a hard candy Like a what's not there yet? No, no, no, no. No. He can't eat candy? You give him like a hard candy, like a... It's not there yet? No, no, no, no, no. Well, he only eats jawbreakers. That's the only thing. Lemonheads and jawbreakers are the only thing we allow him to eat.

I like that. He's not eating candy. So we took some photos and then Chloe and I, we got, I said last week we got Quartzide seats to the Clippers, which was so dope because Intuit owns TurboTax and did a TurboTax commercial and it's the Intuit Dome. Right, how many times do you have to say TurboTax so that this deal's over? Thank you God! Dude, the deal is over apparently.

I mean, Isaac might chime in and say we gotta cut this segment But you think he's listening dude. They pulled the commercial why? Because the whole thing was it's a tax breakup You're breaking up with your tax accountants or your tax guy right and also Eric Griffin's on a watch list or something. Yeah, totally the like tax Accountants Union came after turbo tax The like tax accountants union came after TurboTax. Oh my god!

It was in Forbes magazine, came out with an article and it was like this whole thing so they just shelved the commercial. And you were the face of it. Oh my god. But I was able to get four tickets courtside which was very dope. Yeah, hey, it all comes out in the wash. Yeah, it was totally fun. Yeah, dude, you did that right. But I went to the game and that was our Halloween.

That's perfect. And you dressed as? I was a wizard, I'm always a wizard, dude. Oh cool, you just had a wizard costume lying around? That's crazy. No, I did. Well no, I'm saying you a wizard costume lying around that's crazy. Uh, no I did. Well no, I'm saying you had a costume lying around. I had a wizard costume that did look very similar to Bulldozer.

Uh, cause he's my favorite wizard. But then, you know what the cool thing? Is right as I was about to take the photo, a portal from another dimension opened up. No shit. Yeah, a portal from another fucking. Oh, no Yeah Another fucking dimension opened up. Yeah bulldozer himself came through the portal. Well, it was like yo Actually, give me a wife and kid. I'm gonna take righto and I'm like homie I was trying to take a nice Halloween photo with my family and he goes, take the picture bitch. Through me. Yeah, like through the phone at me. He's from another portal, culturally it's just different.

It's a different portal, yeah. And I think he was being nice, but he was kind of being aggressive. He grabbed Chloe really hard by the hips. Oh my God. Smile. And kind of pressed himself into her. He was kind of aggressive.

Smile for the camera. And Bo loved him, Bo was like, he said dada. It was his first word. He looked like and Bo loved him Bo was like he said dad. I was the first word Loser and said dad are you sure a spell wasn't cast on your son? What that's very possible? Yeah? Yeah, I didn't see him do it, but that's very possible and did he take your family to the game No, he said you go to the game. Oh, okay He said I got this it go to the game and he said I'm more of a Laker fan And so did went through the portal and fucking the portal closed.

Hello to you! Wow. Oh my God. That's crazy. Oh, cause the purple, purple magic, Lakers. Okay, yeah. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you didn't go to the game in a wizard outfit? I did not, no. You did not, okay. I'm in the front row and wearing a wizard hat hat. I think that's I'd be a little rude right yeah were people dressed up though There were some not a lot there were not a lot of dress dress them ups But there were there were some that's kind of a bummer because that's I feel like that'd be fun to go to it like a fucking Arena where everyone's dressed up, but what do I know? That'd be really cool. Yeah.

Yeah. I think you're not wrong. You're not wrong. There were some, but I would say maybe 3%, 3% to 5% of the crowd. I'm pissed now. That blows my mind. This is Los Angeles. Yeah.

It's true. It's Los Angeles. You got to look cool. I know that. We're trying to look cool. But isn't it in, where is it actually? Where is that stadium? Inglewood?

Inglewood. Always up to no good. And they're up to no good. That's a real compound they have there. How do you think they feel about that line? Yeah, it's like now it's SoFi and then the Forum. Forum and then now Intuit Dome. Yeah, it's like a real sportsman's row.

So that's the move. This is what I just heard on some podcasts. What's the guy who owns the Mavericks, who's from the Shark Tank, who was in Game Over Man? Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban's like, yeah. He was like, I don't like, I don't really wanna be an owner anymore

because now it's just like a real estate game where instead of like having a team and improving the team and building the team and managing the team and like getting to the championships and making money that way, he's like, it's about building a stadium, buying all the land around the stadium and developing that and making your money that way.

And he's like, fuck it, I don't want to be in that business. And I was like, yeah, that doesn't sound fun. That's fucking cool. I like that, that he's like, this isn't what I want it to be in that business. And I was like, Yeah, that doesn't sound fun. That's fucking cool. I like that. That he's like, this isn't what I want it to be anymore. I'm out. I didn't know that was his explanation. So he's out?

Oh, he's like partially out, right? Yeah, he's still a partial owner, but he's just like, what do I want to like build buildings around a building for? I want to make a team. That's cool to me. Yeah.

And that's less of the focus now because you make more money developing real estate. What's so tight about the best owner in the league, Steve Ballmer? Okay, go off. He sits courtside. Yes. He stares at the game. He doesn't look at his phone. He doesn't even talk really to the people next to him. He's so intense. Cool. He screams every play. He's so into it. Do you love him? And he built the best stadium using all of his own money. He didn't ask the city to put up any money. He didn't ask taxpayers to put up any money. He did it all himself. Right.

And just dropped two plus billion dollars on this incredible stadium. It feels like you're in a video game. But you've been blinded by what I was just saying, which is that they buy the real estate around there. The two billion to build the stadium, he's like, yeah, because I'm going to buy all of it around there, develop it, and then own like the town. But he doesn't care. Yeah, but I also think that Ballmers, he seems to come from a pure place. Maybe. Dude, he doesn't care about buying all the other shit to then make

more money. He has what is it? What is Steve Ballmer worth? I think it's like $40 billion. So I'm sorry. So you're telling me that people who have billions don't want more billions? Maybe not Balmer. I think Balmer is truly content on owning this basketball team and making that great. Based on just that he's a basketball fan. Because he's yes, he's such a huge, huge basketball. Yeah. Ballmer has one hundred and twenty six point eight billion dollars. What? Yeah. And I said 40 and I thought that was a lot.

One hundred and twenty six point eight. Goodbye. And he just dropped to to build a stadium. That is so much money. That. Goodbye. And he just dropped two to build a stadium. That is so much money, that's incredible. I feel like, how old is he? Is he 60? I wanna say 60s. Is he married? He's 68.

If I was his age, I would give away a billion dollars a year to somebody for the rest of my life for fun. Yeah. Ooh, that would like just one person? That would be so dope. That would be crazy. There'd be a lottery every year

where I would give someone a billion dollars. Yeah, that'd be so dope. That'd be so dope. That would create a bit of a shit storm, but that would be... Why? No, then you're just, you're a lottery. Just a lottery.

But a billion, has there ever been a bill, there's never been a billion dollar lottery. Yeah, no, no, the dude, that young dude who won it here in LA, he won. He won a billion dollars? He won more than a billion, and then you end up pocketing, like, obviously, way less because of taxes, yada, yada, yada.

But this dude is just like buying all sorts of real estate. That's insane. Yeah, he won over two billion. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. And he's like, and he was like 28. I want to say he was from Van Nuys. Am I crazy? Gungnay!

Oh, shit. Hell yeah. That is unreal. Van Nuys getting down. But yeah, you just give away a billion every year. I think that'd be really cool. I think that's really cool. And also, would you do my idea of buying a ton of land

and flying planes over it and shooting them down with rocket launchers? Toasty! No, but I wouldn't tell the people that I gave a billion dollars to that they couldn't or shouldn't do that, you know. Yeah, right. Do what you will. Yeah. Yeah, I mean through the years you'd probably get a few people who were pretty evil billionaires. Would you feel bad about the money you gave those people?

Not saying Adam's idea is evil, but... It's a lottery. It is what it is. Evil? What do you mean? What's so evil about it? No one's in the planes. It's a drone-operated plane. No, Adam. Someone is in the planes now. Someone's like, someone's gotta be in the plane or else I don't get the... Yeah. It turns out you have to have a pilot so at least one person will be... No, no, no, no. You know who I wish was in it? Our president. Whoever that may be, I wish they You have to have a pilot so at least one person will be. No, no, no, no. You can fly the plane. You know what I wish was in it? Our president. Whoever that may be, I wish they were in that damn plane.

Whoever that president is. Yes. In one week, they've done a lot for this country. I wish you'd stop saying that because this president rocks. Yeah, that's true. They did. That's true. I forgot. On day one, they did that thing and that was crazy. That was crazy, dude. That was cool. That was crazy, dude. That was insanity. Ballmer.

But the stadium was incredible. Ballmer is hands down the best owner in the league. Yeah, I'm excited for you guys to go to this stadium. It doesn't feel, it feels different than any basketball stadium you've ever been in. Yeah. Are they there this weekend? Maybe I'll go.

That becomes sick. Yeah! I gotta take one of my kids to a basketball game I promised and then I'm leaving town. So You're out of here back to Australia might well, I'm gonna invite you guys the the agents Just asked if I wanted the box soon. Oh so I'm gonna I'm gonna

Invite at least Saunders I don't know Blake's on my shit list right now wasn't invited to his child's birthday. Yes, dude. Come on, bro Yeah, at least Saunders will get that invite. So pull up I'm gonna take Kyle to maybe his second basketball game ever. I oh, yeah, he's gonna fly in just just for Kyle I'm lower than Kyle. I feel like shit now. God damn. Remember when he was part of the podcast?

I'm looping him back in. Not really, not really. Yeah, it's been so long. It was a long time ago. I hope he's doing well. Dude, the fact that, I think he is. The fact that he's still on the poster though, like the thing that we used to promote the podcast,

this is false advertising at this point. Freaking Sia. Didn't they make one where he wasn't on it and we used that for a while and then we went back to it? There was one. Oh yeah, no, I think it was when we did the Atlantic City show. I think we had one.

Right, so what happened? Let's get that back. Yeah, let's just use that. Water trash. I'm pissed now. Yeah, let's just use that. Yeah, maybe that'm pissed now. Yeah, let's just use that. Yeah, maybe that's a good idea. Let's switch it up because it is false advertising.

It is false advertising. What do you think Kyle would do if Kyle got a billion dollars from Steve Ballmer? What's the first thing Kyle does? I feel that's a great question and can I pivot that question a little bit? Yeah, whatever your truth is, man. Can I speak my truth right now? Speak your truth. Yeah. Whatever your truth is, man. Can I speak my truth right now? Speak your truth. Absolutely. Who do you think out of the four of us would make the worst billionaire? The worst billionaire? What does that mean? What does the worst

billionaire mean? You're shooting planes down so I'm gonna go with you. No, no. Well, Blake, no one's on the planes. And by the way, you would love to do it if you came over to my ranch. You would love to do it. I know you would. I don't... It's not getting my pecker hard, but I mean... Finally. It might be pretty fun. It would be very fun. But Adam, what does that mean, the worst billionaire?

I'm the worst billionaire. Like, evil or boring or... It would go to your head you'd be like you it would change in a bad way you know yeah yeah shit I don't even know what I would do as a billionaire yeah it's like a burden yeah yeah I don't know I I do think for me I think it would be Kyle Kyle. I think yeah Because remember when Kyle was nominated for the Emmy when yeah It wasn't and it kind of already went to his head and yeah, he's coming. Yeah

It was kind of being a dick about his Emmy nom. I Yeah, I think a billion dollars would go to his head real quick. Oh, yeah. I think Kyle is the one out of us who would use it to create a little kingdom, right? Yeah. He would have a kingdom. Yeah. Right?

Yes. Where you would have a kingdom. It'd be a thing of a control, where it's under the guise of opportunity for everyone, but a, you know, like where he's, it's under the guise of opportunity for everyone, but really they're working for him, you know. What a trash. Did you ever watch that documentary on the Renaissance Faire? Yes. No.

That was like cool. He would be the king, who's just like kind of a megalomaniac, and he like liked to call himself the king and would like wear a crown and shit. Is fdom the right word King Kyle yeah yeah King Kyle was his Microsoft name so maybe the writing was on the wall yeah it was on the wall King Kyle was his Microsoft name oh sorry sorry sorry is my space name my yeah yeah wow did not know that yep pretty and I wish he was here so I could Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, his MySpace name. His MySpace name. Yeah. Wow. Did not know that.

Yep. Pretty crazy. And I wish he was here so I could ask him about that, but... Not yet. Maybe someday. It was weird. Water trash. Even during the time that I was like, that is a weird thing to call yourself the king.

Yeah. Yeah, but never really got into it. No, the writing was on the wall. Yeah. Kyle, do you think you are a king? Do you think you should be a king? That's what scares me. That's what keeps me up at night Well, we don't have kings here. We have we have a president. We have a new president great job Yeah, great to Blake to Blake. They're good. They're bad. All I know is they are my president. They are the president

Leave your truth brother. It feels pretty darn good. Billionaire. I feel Durz would be a pretty good billionaire. I don't think you would use your money in fun ways in a way that I would. A cool, fun... Well, yeah, no, I think I would use it in fun ways. I just don't know if it would mirror exactly what you're doing. Like what? What are you doing? I would be walking the earth, boy. I'd be everywhere.

I'd get a private jet immediately. Yeah. Okay. And I'd be like, where are we going? I would take everybody who wants to go. I would have like every couple months, I'd have a set trip. And I would put out feelers. I'd go, do you guys want to go here? And whoever wants to go, you hop on the plane we all go

Okay, you just have to pay for dinner one night. I got everything else. Jesus Christ. How many people are on the trip? No, but you know it's the gesture of paying for dinner one night. I would just appreciate Okay, you get a little irked when people don't do the gesture No, even if you reach for the wallet, then I go, they reached? It's okay, I got it. Guys, remember? Yeah, it's a gesture thing. I think that would be most of what it would be, is travel, going places with homies, experiencing

things with homies. I like that. I think a good thing to do would be to immediately give all of your close, close, close homies like some real paper. And I don't know what that amount is. Is that 10 million? Is that 20 million? Is that 50 million? That seems like very real paper.

I think you start them off at 1 million. 1 million? That's nothing. In today's economy? Well, actually this Million dollars would be pretty good for a lot of people in this economy Not in California, I don't know about all that All that these groceries are insane. At least they were last week, but this week it's better I would say ten million million to the close friends.

That's a lot of money. 10 million's a lot. 10 million, you're doing, there's nothing you're not doing that you wanna do, essentially. And that's right. And that's why you give that to them, then they can buy dinner.

Bits of pizza. You want them to be set. You want them to be set. So they're set. So then when you go out... So you give it to them to just get it back. This is smart. This is smart. No, not to get back. I just don't want them... No, you don't want them feeling weird around you. Yeah. I don't want anyone to feel weird.

You want everything to be level playing for you. Like if they want to buy drinks or they want to do this, they can. It's not... They're not strapped or they're always feeling like they're sucking on my titty. You know what I mean? I love you guys. But it's your money, you do what you want to do, but like... They're not sucking on your titty.

You gave them $10 million, but there's going to be a weirdness there too. Yeah, but then that's theirs now. That's theirs. And you say, as soon as you put the money in their hand, you're like, and you don't got to suck my titty, man. This is you. You made this by being such a good friend. No, and then you say, you grab your titty

and you say, you can unlatch now. Here you go, daddy's letting you go. You can unlatch now. Now you can unlatch. Yeah, you might be the bad billionaire, I don't know. I think I'm sticking with my initial thought. So here's my question. What's like if you gave your friends $10 million,

what do you think would be the one thing, and it's their money, right? It's their truth, they can do whatever they wanna do with it. But what is the one thing that if they did it, it would kinda drive you crazy and you'd be like, I can't believe I gave this guy $10, and this is what they're fucking doing uh Well, I think it would drive me crazy is if I gave them ten million dollars, and they never And I don't even know if they need to what like you like going to dinner

They they don't need to and it's I'm not talking about a dinner with 50 people. I'm talking about me and my wife, you and your wife. And my wife. But what's the hard number, though? Eight? What? You said it's not 50, but what's the hard number here? Eight people at dinner?

Let's not be wishy washy here. Sure. No, I was saying it's not 50 people, it's not 20 people. It's like literally foursome. Okay. Four. Okay. It's four. Yeah! Yeah, so you and your wife, them and their wife,

or girlfriend or whatever. Okay. It's a hot date, mistress. Yeah. Or sure, let's say six or eight, sure. But nothing that is out of- Wife and mistress, okay. But nothing that's out of control. Nothing that's like, it's not gonna be a $20,000 dinner

or anything, you know? That's insane. Yeah, you know. But that's what it would be if it was 50 people. Like those NFL dinners that they would have were- Those are the best. The ones that rookies pay for. You never had it so good.

Yeah, that they make the rookies pay for. Yeah. If they wouldn't at the rookies pay for. Yeah. If they wouldn't at least offer to pay for dinner sometimes, that would kind of drive me a little nuts. I'd be like, well, buddy, I gave you the $10 million. You can't pay for dinner. You're not getting this one. So what if you had a homie who you gave the money

and it did not make them happier? Because that would be the first argument. OK. Not the money. It made them worse. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, started getting crazy plastic surgery. And they wouldn't and couldn't have afforded it before you gave them the $10 million. And now they've got these crazy blue eyes that you have to look into every time you talk to them. Finish him. They have a nose on its fifth. Can you even get plastic surgery on your eyeballs? You could get blue eyes?

At this point. Stop, you're ruining the whole thing. You get $10 million. They've got a nose. You can get plastic surgery on your eyeballs. You can get new eyes. At this point. Stop, you're ruining the whole thing. You get $10 million. Sorry, sorry, sorry. They've got a nose. You can get new eyes. They've got a nose that's on its sixth operation and it's MJ status.

It's just not getting better. It's not getting better. It's brittle, very brittle. They're botoxed like crazy. They got their earlobes connected because they like that. What? Yeah, that's a look.

Oh, God. And they got trap implants, and so it's just. Well. Yeah, it's kind of tight. And they look like a monster now. Yeah. And they aren't happy. They're never going to be.

But the $10 million you gave them, if one of my friends started doing that, I would feel like I would have to say something and be like, come on, man, don't please don't do this with the money, please. Well, yeah, for some people, I think the money could like ruin their lives because then they they like, they leave their family. Yeah, they take off, they're done.

They take off, they left their family, they are now getting weird plastic surgery. They're doing like some crazy shit or they're just like, I couldn't afford all the I got my dick sliced down the middle. I couldn't afford all the cocaine in the world before and now I can or something. That would suck. Right. Wow. Wow. Right.

That would be a nightmare. Yeah. I think you got to really choose which friends you're giving the money to. And it would be hard. That cutoff would be hard. Imagine you're giving the money to. And it would be hard. The cut off would be hard. Imagine you're the 11th friend. Yeah, you give 10 friends 10 million dollars and there's an 11th friend. You get the call.

What's up, Adam? How you doing, man? All right. All right. How are you doing? Well, big dog. Hey, what's up? You want to go golfing next weekend? Oh, yeah. Just go golfing, huh? Yeah, just go for whatever you want. Oh Yeah, there's nothing that the there's nothing at the pro shop at the end or what's going on? No, nothing. I'm sure no Just golfing. Yes. Okay

Let me let me I could let me check Essentially if you do that off you kind of have to go, these are my 10 friends now, and I'm not, I have no other friends. Yeah, well, that's the other thing. Your homies who didn't make the cut now probably don't fuck with you, or, well, they're still getting some trickle down. Oh yeah, no, they're spite, they're spite.

But that's how you find out who your friends are. That's how you find out who your friends are. Maybe there's some kind of diabolical thing We're like you give one friend 10 million But your plan is to give several and you see how they react to it and it's all in writing you do a video that Goes if you freak out and treat me like shit. I'm going to not give you 10 million dollars This is some real Willy Wonka shit. Yeah is some really good documented. You thought this out. It's not some crazy like here you go, here you go, here you go.

If in 30 days you're being a real bitch about it, you're going to get bitch money. Okey dokey. And I was going to give you 10 million, but you're being a real bitch about it. I'm sorry. And it's in writing. I'm holding up the newspaper. Something I'm just coming up with right off the cuff. This is says, it says if you're being a bitch. I feel like I would make a list

and whoever invited me to their children's birthday parties is who is it. That's who's gonna get the 10 million. God damn! You've never had it so good. Okay, let's go. Adam, just to circle back to this plan, you're giving, let's say you're giving five, six people $10 million. Is there then a round two where it's like, and then 10 people are getting five, and then there's like 30 people you know That you're gonna give 50 grand a million dollars or whatever a little boost a little boost mobile. Yes, sir Well, you know what? Yeah, I don't know if it's free money like that

And it's a lot of free money like if you win if you win the lottery cuz a friend of mine's dad won the lottery But he won six million dollars a friend of mine's dad won the lottery, but he won six million dollars. A friend of mine's dad in high school. Wow. That's insane. He won six million dollars. Okay, let's go. He shouldn't give any money to anyone, right? Because six million, that's enough that you can, like...

You retire, you do your thing, however old it was. You retire, you... He was a... I think he worked construction, he had like a blue collar job in Nebraska. This in Nebraska. Yeah, that'll get that'll get that'll run. He took care of his family and I'm like, that's the way to do it. Yeah. Like you can't, but if you are gifted a billion dollars and like we already, in

our position, we already have good high paying jobs. So it's not like we're not living in comfortable lives anyways We can live a little bit more comfy Yeah, look at Durs' fucking sweet office. Pretty nice. His wife makes him work in a shed out back next to a washing machine I got this for free from Skinner. That's cool. Okay. See you know artists. So you're living a pretty cool life Yeah, I do you're right. You're right. You're right. Thank you Notice me senpai notice me. If you were poor if you're poor they wouldn't fuck with you, okay? No, so we're already living these good lives. I then would give

money away But if you're it's if you're giving like a billion dollars, right? Oh, but if it's just a small amount then then I don't think you should give Oh, but if it's just a small amount, then then I don't think you should give Feel obligated to but if it's a billion dollars, you should give some of that to your homies. Yeah and charities No Get there. Yeah, but this president don't worry. They're getting our money. Yeah Yeah, this president the charities are taking care of they're getting it whoever it may be wait Adam be. Wait, Adam, speaking of the president, didn't somebody shout out Runsas? Did Tim Walz...Waltz?

Did he? Walz? Did he? From the window to the walls? Did he talk about Runsas? Yes, obviously. He talked about Runsas, Blake. He's from Nebraska. Oh, he's from Nebraska. Oh, you don't know anything. You watch the news less than I do. I thought he was a Minnesota guy. I don't think he's from Nebraska. Oh, you don't know anything. You watch the news less than I do. I thought he was a Minnesota guy.

I don't think he's from Nebraska, is he? Yes, he was born and raised in Nebraska and moved to Minnesota as an adult. Wow, that's fucking cool. I couldn't believe Runza's was getting shine. I was hyped on that. Oh yeah, dude. He walked into the Runza, he was all hyping them up. It was sick. That's kind of tight. I'm kind of confused as to why Adam is so kind of even keel about this. Like you're like, yeah, he shouted it out.

But yeah, come on. Are you stoked about this? I don't give a ho! It just is whatever. Is this your truth? I'm sorry. I don't want to stomp on your truth. Yeah, my truth. Is it any, it's not a big deal? Do you think he was pandering?

Well, because I think I've talked about this on the podcast. Oh, did he steal your shine? Is that what's happening? And you're kind of mad? Was he pandering a little bit? No, no, no. I've talked about this on the podcast. Oh, did he steal your shine? Is that what's happening? And you're kind of mad. Is he pandering a little bit? No, no, no. I've talked about this on the podcast. We've already covered this. I see what's happening.

I got it. I see what's happening. I don't remember that. Adam used to be the runs a guy. Now Tim Walls is the runs a guy. I see what's happening. No, we covered this on the podcast. I'm pretty sure because at the same time,

JD Vance went into some restaurant and they immediately said that they didn't want to be filmed and they tried to kick him out. That was a donut shop. I love you guys. Yeah, it was a donut shop. It was when we talked about that. And Tim Walz went into the runza

and they were so hyped that he was there. Right. This just reminds reminds me the other day I was texting in the chain and I was like has anybody ever Brought up the fact that Nebraska ends in the word ska like music. You're right. Yeah Yeah, how was there not a Nebraska festival? There's be. That just feels right. Should we start it? I don't think there is. And I think the reason being is people didn't fuck with ska music that hard. I think there was, there's some people that like ska.

But you're my friend who likes ska the most and you're from Nebraska. Oh, for sure. And I feel like Omaha is the perfect sized city to like host a ska fest where it's like it's not that big Yes, but it's big enough. I'm not opposed to it. I'm not opposed to it guys. We'll get less than Jake We'll get out the whole crew. Yeah, do it on Adam Divine day Oh, get a ska festival what November 10th, November 10th. Let's do it November 10th. It's coming up

It's coming up coming up the mighty mighty boss tones Let's get them out there. It might even be today while you're listening. Do we do this? It might be November 10th right now. Now that I think about it. No, it's not. Hey, knock on wood that it happens.

Is it not? I feel like it is. I think it's November 10th right now because we've had the president for a week. It's November 12th. It would be the 12th. It would be the 12th. Yeah.

Well, Adam Devine Day, do you think it went off? It definitely went off. When was Adam Devine Day? Is it his birthday? No, it's the 12th. It would be the 12th. Yeah. Well, Adam Devine Day, do you think it went off? It definitely went off. When was Adam Devine Day? Is it his birthday? No, it's the 10th. It's when I filmed my standup special. They gave me a day in Nebraska. Oh, got it, got it, got it.

Yeah! So tight. Yeah. So tight. Yeah, I don't think it goes off as much as I want it to go off. Well, it has to be a Nebraska festival and then it will go off. I need to get my ass back to Nebraska. I haven't been.

I'm going back to the hunt. Okay. I go on a hunt once a year with some of my friends or my dad's friends. There's 15 of us that go up every year. That shit's important. It's going to be a full house. It's very exciting stuff. So I will be a full house. It's very exciting stuff. So I will be in Nebraska soon. Who made the list on that? This is pheasant hunting?

Who made the list on that? We got Austin in the building. You know, Austin's gonna be there. You know, I got a whole crew. This is pheasants, right? Pheasant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we cook the pheasants and we eat the pheasant? Yes, and how do we prepare the pheasant? What's like pheasant burger? Pheasant stew? Well, there's a pheasant stew. There's a pheasant Like that you wrap it in bacon and put a glaze on it. That's really good Okay, like that. And then there's like pheasant chili. Yeah, it's like a stew And then we we cook it that way but there's all and you you don't mind the pheasant the taste of pheasant you're you're cool with it or it's not my it's not the best

I don't love it it's a little gamey and you don't you don't know what even what that means until you taste it and you go, and you taste the game. That's a little gamey. Yeah. Yeah, it's got a little bite to it. But some people in the cabin love it. So, mmm. My roommate in college from Iowa, he brought pheasant back after the holidays

and cooked some pheasant for us. And he was a good chef. He was a good cook. So it was pretty good. So it wasn't bad. Yeah. All right. It wasn't bad.

Yeah. All right. It wasn't bad Yeah, it's just like it's it's it's like if chicken had a little zestiness to it Like chicken if you like rubbed it in dirt a little bit Crunchy But it is great. You'll find like the bullets you'll find like the the pellets of the bullet shot Yeah, the bullet shot. Yeah The bird shot in and that's that's good doesn't chip your teeth or that's yeah, it certainly can Yes, so you gotta be so you're eating this too, and you're kind of like it ginger. Yeah Okay, fair enough the bummer about this hunt is I can't walk yeah, so this is year two of me, I drive around in the Gator.

And then like the little. Can you shoot? Can you shoot from the Gator? Yeah, that's what I did last year. I would just drive around. So you kind of just, you whip it and just. That's kind of sick. Is there anybody you could like pay like a large man

to like kind of piggyback on like a saddle situation? Oh yeah like like total recall. And Nebraska is a good place to find a large man to carry me around but yeah I haven't really looked into that. Absolutely. Yeah just say hey you want 10 million dollars? I got you. I'm still gonna send it.

Carry me around. It's kind of fine. It'll be I did have one funny doctor who in Colombia who was like cuz I'm not supposed to drink or drink Drink alcohol or smoke weed or any of the fun stuff that I do up at this guy, right? And you're not doing that right you're not doing that right? I'm not doing that He told me I'm like I got this big trip plan I can't like just have a couple drinks and he goes yeah, you could you could party on that trip Just don't party before or after and I'm like so I can like drink and he goes goes, yeah, you could party on that trip. Just don't party before or after.

And I'm like, so I can drink. And he goes, oh yeah, you could drink. Just don't drink before or after. And I'm like, but when I drink, I'm saying I drink drink. And he goes, I would try not to black out. Right. See ya. Wait, you keep saying before and after.

Yes, I would try. Now you should try. You keep saying before and after. You mean like before the shots and right after the shots? No. I mean from the time I got the shots to the hunt, don't drink. I could drink during the two days I'm there. Like he's saying do that and then go back to not drinking again.

And then go back to not drinking for the rest of the three months. And then... Because the hunt won't hit the same if you're not having some beers with the boys. It will be a... I mean, I've never experienced the hunt this way. Yeah, I don't think you should. I don't think anybody should. And what about weed? Weed is the same thing. It's inflammatory. And there's a lot of weed smoking now at the hunt.

So... Yeah, baby! Is it legal in the land of Skye? Can't finish! It's changed through the years because it started when we when I was 18 years old and we've been doing it for over 20 years now. All right. I think this is the 19th year, I believe. That's awesome. Because we skipped a few.

Adam, you got to get shirts made. You got to get started getting shirts. Oh, yeah, we do. We have shirts. There's shirts. I've never seen the hunts shirt. Oh, yeah. Mike Lovos brings, makes shirts some years. Oh, okay. Wait, is Livanos going? He always goes.

Oh, Livanos is a decade strong. Hell yes. This is the way. Maybe more than a decade. Blake, do you know your friends? Yeah, just saw them at the, we watched the Dodger game together. It was great to see the guy.

Did he get the invite to the birthday party? No, he did not, he did not. Unfortunately, I'm sorry. Exclusive, I'm feeling the love. Sorry. Exclusive, yeah, you're lucky, Anderson. What did I do? Adam, you're more than welcome.

I didn't get an invite, I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what happened here, where the communication breakdown was, but come on, man. Come on. I think it's that you had your, why aren't you organizing this? Girlfriend partner my partner why you should be in charge of inviting your friends yeah I get it though I put Chloe in charge yeah you know what with this president I'm not

surprised but I'll tell you what happens is she shows me the list, I approve said list, and then she does the thing for, because I think I'm having a little birthday dinner at El Capadre. I'll see you there. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to inform you, but I was invited to that. I know you were. And I appreciate you.

Oh man, yeah. That's why Chloe was a little butthurt that we weren't invited. I'm so yeah. That's why Chloe was a little butthurt that we weren't invited. I'm so sorry. There's nobody I would rather have at this child's birthday than you and Chloe. Ambo, you're all invited. What did you just say?

There's no one? No, Ders, you're in. It's fine. I'm just like, I'm out. I'm off the project. I don't know what mindset I was in. I don't know why it didn't happen. I'm so, I'm apologetic.

I'm offended for you. You need a stem cell shot in your brain. And guess what? I would like, hey, let's start take backs, apologies, and epic slams right now. I would, I would, I would love to take back the fact that you and your family was not invited to my daughter's birthday. I feel very, very, I feel bad. Okay.

And, and I, apology not accepted, still offended. Fuck! Yeah, and that's fair. Fuck! That's his truth, Blake, get over it. That's my truth, dog, that's just my truth. Get over it. Son of a bitch.

Yeah, apology, apology accepted. And I actually think Chloe did make other plans, she does have other plans, So I'm not sure. I think I will end up swinging by if I am invited. Oh, that would be great. That would be great. Because you are in town. But Chloe did make other plans.

So I'm not sure if she will be able to or not. Okay, but maybe little Bo will be able to pull up. And I was given a plus one, so I'll be there. Oh, must be nice. Hey, wait, before we get off the pheasant thing, is Zach going on the hunt? Is that going? No, Zach doesn't, because he does. He doesn't go to Nebraska during that time of the year. He goes at another time of the year and can't afford to do both both times.

Mm, because I was just saying because our buddy Zack, he's great, dude. He's an excellent pizza craftsman. It would be kind of good to have like pheasant pizza. That might be pretty good. It would be great. And we've tried that on a previous year with less capable chefs. Yeah, right. But we do have a guy who is a great chef and he's taking over responsibility. He took over responsibilities last year Yeah, and the the food game was was through the roof. Thank you, Jake Swanson. Okay, I'm excited I'm excited. I'm late to this. Do you guys watch?

I think he's critical. He knows what he likes. Yeah, he says how he feels. He's pretty good at it. But there's an app. There's an app. Yeah, he's made it a big thing. He's made it a genius thing.

Those barstool guys are pretty good at blowing up their things. They're genius marketers. Yeah, they're very good. He just goes to a place, and now he can make or break a place where if he gives it a six, people are like, I'm not going to eat pizza there. Yeah, I remember that was kind of the thing. Some dude got upset.

But if he gives it a seven, eight, nine, then it blows, you know, it goes. Oh, hey, make pizza. Good. Make it well. If you're going to do it, let's make pizza great again. Thank you. And he goes places.

And with the new president, I feel like pizza is tasting a little better. You think it's going to make pizza great again? I feel the new president is going to take the new slogan. Let's make pizza great again? I feel the new president is gonna take the new slogan, let's make pizza great again. No points there, Billy. I'm gonna come. Do not come. It has been a while since I've had mind blowing pizza.

I kind of do want like. Can I say an unpopular opinion? Uh oh. I don't like pizza. Fuck it! That's been another episode of. You don't like pizza fuck it that's been another episode of I don't like pizza period and statement or you're just yeah I don't know what those Colombians wouldn't you my man I don't know what's going on I don't love I don't I won't say I don't

Because you get barbecue sauce on everything. Then you get on pizza, you think it's cool, second slice. You know where barbecue sauce is really good on? Rotisserie chicken stock. Yeah. You're not wrong. You know what pizza sauce is not good on? Rotisserie chicken.
