Eating Mexican food at El Compadre, one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. That place is fucking fire, like the fire margaritas. Can we talk about how, what a pain in the ass it was? Cause I'm not drinking right now, which sucks by the way. If you're thinking, if you're like thinking about getting sober, don't dude. Cause it's way, it sucks.

Thank you. And I Was like there everybody's gonna be pounding drinks. It's a Thursday night classic party night

I'm still so the guys are gonna be on fire, and I'm gonna be stone sober. So I'm there, I'm like, well, I want a margarita. I'll get a virgin margarita, but I want it flaming. I want it flaming, because that's their thing. They light the little lemon with the, what's in there? They have a floating lemon wedge that's hollowed out, and then they put alcohol in it and light it on fire. And the guy's like, well, then it won't be virgin. And I'm

like, I know. I mean, I'm not allergic to alcohol. I'm not on the wagon or whatever. I'm just not drinking right now. So I can have one. And he goes, look, I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm a fun guy. Yeah.

And I go, well, come on. And I'm like, it's my birthday. And he's like, I'll see what I can do, but I won't be able to do that for you. It's against the law. Whoa. And I'm like, okay, well, see what you can do. And then it was like pulling teeth

and finally he comes over. Did you say, hey, compadre to compadre? Yeah. I'm pissed now. See, no, because I didn't really know what compadre means. That means like friend, right? My el compadre. Yeah. Oh well

I said you know what I'm on margarita five I've had five flames yeah okay I'm gonna give you one. I'm gonna give you a flame. And he gave me a flame. Just dropped it in.

And it really helped. No one's looking. Okay. And I whispered, happy birthday, come daddy. I'm your come daddy. He actually gave me one and made a big deal about it. Like, here you go. I was able to convince him and I'm like, thanks, man. It shouldn't have been a big deal to begin with.

And then later, like an hour later, you guys were on your eighth and ninth drinks. I was like, can I get a zero, like a, like a Heineken zero or whatever zero non-alcoholic beer you have, anything I'll take anything. And Blake's like, I got you. I'm going to go get it. And he goes to the bar. This is after we've closed the tab and he was like, I'm going to go to the bar and get us one last round, and I'm like, all right, cool. And then you came back and you said, what did, he was like, what did he say to you? I mean, he was very stern about just being like,

we don't have any more of those. Like, we don't have any more. I had one earlier. You had one bottle, he's like, we're out. I'm like, you had one on you Let me just come to the rescue of whoever I'm just imagine you eight margaritas in going to the bar and going let me get a 0.0 and he's like no no come on. I was super polite. I wasn't in like I wasn't in go mode

I was no I don't think he was full go mode I mean did you guys go out afterwards? Cause the T-Bot was like trying to rally the troops. He went. There was a squadron that went out, the road one squadron, I did not. I went home responsibly. It was chill.

I went home and just hovered over each of my children for five minutes looking at them going like, That's such a good daddy. What will you be? Who will I be you just lower your face on him and go and breathe on their cheek for a little like seven to ten minutes interesting yeah I'm a little disappointed that I'm not getting drunk around Bo right now because I feel like you got to kind of start them young to seeing you drunk right Drunk right now. Yeah you have to yeah.

It's gonna be real shocking when he sees me drunk as he gets a little older. Exactly. The way to do it is make it shocking when they see you sober. What is different about you dad? You're completing sentences that's really odd. And they'll be like you're completing sentences. That's really odd. And they'll be like, you're acting weird. Right. Dad, you're acting, I don't like it when you act like this. Yeah. Oh, God.

And you're just telling a full story. You just have jury duty that day? Oh, man. You're just driving in straight lines. In your lane. No sir, I don't like it. You're just driving to school. in straight lines. In your lane? No sir, I don't like it. You're just driving to school, just can't wait to get back home and crack one open.

Punk rock, getting radical. Hey man. Oh god, drinking's the best. Hey, you know, bringing up Thursday night, when you said that, when you're in high school, Thursday night's not really an option. For some people, sure, every once in a while while but then when you get to college and Thursday night becomes a whole new thing to kick off the week I remember being like this is great we don't even have to wait till Friday it's not just Friday Saturday it's Thursday Thursday Friday Saturday a

little bit of Sunday morning then Then it starts being Tuesday. I'm drunk now. I never went to a proper college, so I don't have that exact experience. Yeah, at Orange Coast Community College, every day was a weekend. There were zero days. There are no days.

There was no days. You literally never had to be sober. It all ran together. No days on. I do like that idea. Orange Coast Community College, Monday was a Saturday. Ders, you were on the swim team. You were on the swim team, but we were in the pool way more than you, brother.

Trust me. Okay. Do we used to roll a keg down to the pool and finish kegs by the pool all day? It was the fucking greatest. That was the best college experience. And also, I don't remember really going to school. I don't remember it. I was intoxicated.

I honestly don't. It was almost just like a holding pattern, right? It was just kind of like a holding, like a place to be for a little bit while you got a little bit older, learned how to live with homeless people, how to- Yes, how to invite homeless people to live on my futon. Yeah, and you go, wait, maybe not the best idea.

Multiple homeless people, literally multiple homeless people lived in my house. That's super accepting and giving of you. I always looked up to you for that. That was really cute. I did get my AA though, so there is that. I did graduate. What is get my AA though. So there is that. I did graduate. What is that?

Associates thing. Associates. Associates. Well, why is it called AA if it's associate's degree? Shouldn't it be something else? I think it'd be AD, but I don't know. You're the one who achieved this accomplishment.

I think it's like associates of the arts. Like a BA. Yes. Yes. That's exactly it. That's exactly. Are you sure that's exactly it? Okay.

We're getting it from the producers. That's exactly it. No, you should have noticed. I remembered. I remembered. I remembered, bro. You don't know. You don't know what you got.

That's almost cooler than being, what is associate? It sounds more sophisticated than just being like a bachelor of the arts. It's like, oh, you're a bachelor, huh? So what did you, Blake, I know you went to, that. Yes. I was talking with Isaac the other day and said how weird it is that you got your degree in theater.

Because you've never been in plays. I've never seen you. It's not like you then went and decided to be in a play. Yeah. You did high school plays though. Sure. I was in high school plays. I did a few.

Look, I did a few things at OCC. I did like the Christmas show. OK. I did Project Knight. What show was it? What was the Christmas show? Like what show was it was an original it was original written by there 20 years later. No, he was a teacher, bro Yeah, oh, okay. Yeah, probably most people go there for yeah, you never stop learning What's like the elevator pitch of this Christmas special? Um, it was like kind of like a throwback melodrama

So it was like, you know, it was like I was like wingnut Charlie and I was with my buddy Mike Cavender Put another log on the fire. I'll be downstairs. No, it was silly. It was for kids. You invited the elementary school over and they watched it. It was really fun. Cute. A mellow drama? Yeah.

An elementary school watched a mellow drama. Yeah, like a silly mellow drama. Like really heightened. Do I not know what mellow drama means? I don't think you do. You know what I mean? I don't think it's called a mellow drama. Are we mispronouncing it?

I mean, you know when you guys challenge me, I back down and I fold to thee, okay? But I'm pretty... I'm just asking. I thought a mellow drama was like a weepy, sad, like, small story. And you guys did that for elementary school kids. Yeah, but it was like silly. It was like a Christmas one. It was like really heightened, um, you know, it was really high. So it was like a spoof of a melodrama? Yeah, where it's like I don't think we're gonna have any presents this year. Yeah, and then it'd be like You'd stick your tongue out. I guess it is a melodrama. Okay

exaggerated sensationalized or over emotional. Yeah. Yeah. Mellow dramatic. So it was like, oh no, here comes wingnut Charlie-emotional. Yeah, yeah. Mellow dramatic. Yeah, so it was like, oh no, here comes Wingnut Charlie. And I'm like, hello. So it was tongue in cheek. It was tongue in cheek. It was a comedy, it was fun. Give me a hell yeah.

Okay, yeah, I was in a play at OCC too. I was in the giant rats of, Sherlock Holmes and the giant rat of Sumatra, which I guess is a real play. And I just remember... Wow, dude! Sounds real. Yeah. Mine is real too. I remember this smoking hot babe came to see me and it was so cold in the theater. And I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to admit this, her nipples were so hard, dude. They were so hard.

Let's go! Sorry. Wait, wait a second. Hang on. this her nipples were so hard dude they were so hard sorry wait a second hang on she came to see you on stage you were clocking this during your performance you were like okay this is a new story I think I missed a queue line I remember Alex Skolson our director was a little pissed at me. Oh, big Alex. Love him, man. Great dude. He was a little pissed. He was like, what, why, get your head in the game. And I'm like, dude.

Second row, third seat. He kind of hated you though. Yeah, it was a love hate between me and Alex. He was a little piffed that I missed the line, but it was well worth it, dude, because this girl's nipples, it was unbelievable. Tasty. It was unbelievable. And I went on a date with her and did I do anything with her? No, I didn't because she came over to my apartment and I lived in the living room on a couch. And so we're laying on the living room. Those

nipples went, she sucked it right back in. Just reverted. And the we're laying on the living room. Those nipples went. What were. You sucked it right. Just reverted. Oh, man. And the amount. Do you remember how many cockroaches lived in that apartment with us? I mean, and I'm not exaggerating when I say you're in Joe's apartment. I don't I didn't recall. See, I didn't clock roaches.

Was that really a thing? That's disgusting. Oh, yeah. Well, not not at the other the second apartment. The first. Yes, yes. When yeah. Well not at the second apartment. The first apartment. Oh yes, yes, yes. When we were across from, off Merrimack. What was that? Yes, what was that called? Merrimack Woods.

Yeah. And it was filthy and disgusting and covered in roaches. And I had blow queued up and it was fucking, it was on fire, dude. The movie. The movie. No, he couldn't afford cocaine. You came home and there were roaches doing lines. I definitely could not have afforded.

I could not afford any drug, really. Even weed was really burying me. Yeah, hard to come back. You were like, you want to hit the resin? You good? And then had a cracker. I know how you guys did it. Yeah, want to roll a resin ball?

No, Austin refused to not come in the living room. Cracker. I know how you guys did it. Yeah, what a roll of resin ball. No Austin Refused to not come in the living room. I kept taking it cuz he I had a roommate he had the bedroom I slept on the couch Yeah, he had a long-term girlfriend who was never there who he's now married to I was a single man trying to score Chicks, right and I have to take them back to a couch, to a grimy couch. One Sherlock Holmes show at a time, baby. Was this a one, this was a one bedroom? This is a one bedroom.

Did I miss you just saying that, yeah? Yeah, it's a one bedroom. And so he kept coming out. And you guys wouldn't share the room? You guys couldn't share the room style and like, like have bunks? Well, we ended up sharing a room later when we lived in a two bedroom with five dudes. But yeah, yeah. But this time I just, I just slept on

the couch and then as a trade off, I got the garage. Austin didn't get the garage. Parking was horrific and he got towed multiple times. He got multiple tickets. Nice trade dude. I didn't have to deal with any of that. Nice trade. Did you ever go smash the garage? But also I didn't, I didn't get laid in there or any, any amount of action. I didn't have to deal with any of that. Nice trade. Did you ever go smash the garage? But also I didn't get laid in there or any amount of action. I guess that's kind of tough to like, the move I guess would be to like pull into the garage and then just spit some poetry about how hot, like I can't even wait to get inside. Can we just do it here? And then she's like, whoa.

She'd be like, she feels taken. Let's she's like, whoa. She feels taken. Let's go into your gross apartment. She feels taken with you. No, no. And you go, no, no, no, no, no. Please. It smells like gas. Please, please don't go in there.

Please don't go in there. I don't know. Your car isn't that clean either. Can we watch a movie? Yeah, I have two options. The Beach and Blow. Those are the only two movies I have. Let's sit on my trunk and watch people

walk by the open garage door. And maybe the second Lord of the Rings. You got the two towers ready to go? Okay, I've never seen the first one. Will I be lost if I just start on the second one? Yeah. Yeah, you will. So let's do Blow, the movie. Yeah, don't, so. Yeah, you will.

So let's do, let's do Blow, the movie. I feel like they do a previously on, don't they start that movie with a previously on the lost? Previously on Lord of the Rings. You know, it's been a hot minute since I watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That shit was a showstopper. Dude, they're good.

I just watched the two, I watched the first two, I gotta watch the third one with my kids. Well, cause you're probably aware they're filming it. You just watched the first. I watched the first two I got to watch the third one with my kids. Well cuz you you're probably where they're filming it You just watched the first two. Are you a real? No, no, no, no, I'm rewatching with the children Oh, that's a good call They're awesome. They're epic and like still good Jackson like puts his stank on it in a way Like you don't realize when you're watching it back that that PJ I go I go, you smell that?

That's Peter Jackson. That's Peter Jackson stank. And then I was like, actually, that one was me. OK, hey, dad joke. Yes, points. That's a fun age that you actually get to show them cool movies. I rewatched it just myself, not with children,

during the pandemic, I believe. Okay. Great time. I remember the first movie, I was like, are these graphics gonna be horrific right at the beginning? Because it's telling the story of the ghosts. Yes, the rings being forged. Yeah, the rings being forged, yeah. And I remember the graphics were a little suspect.

Yeah, a lot of shadow play. But then it just got better and better and better. When they fight the giant bull looking dude with the horns that go down. A ball-rog. And he says, fly you fools, I think, is that moment. Yeah. Oh, man.

Dude. I was like, I don't know if we've beat this. Look at Blake Goh. He's getting rock hard. He's getting his's getting rock-hard. He's getting his Oh, man. I love this fantasy shit brother associates of the arts hard on so, you know how like in movies now There's just these humongously giant unbeatable Entities now these giant like galactic sized creatures. I don't know if we've beat that one that one just looked fucking cool

He had that like cat anion tails. It was mad like fire He looked unbelievable when he opened his mouth like the heat radiated out like oh, yeah, I don't know man I think we're all trying to do that. I remember the first time they showed The orcs the first time they showed like the big ass orcs that was practical effects, too That was makeup man. That's sure pretty terrifying. That was was that that was just all Kiwi locals to by the science. Yeah, they were going off Everyone was like like the unemployment line They were like you want to be in this movie and put on this stuff and it became like okay The thing that employed everyone for like whatever two and a half years however long they took those movies

That's so sick. You gotta all come together like on the anniversary and just work out and have a fucking orc party Yeah, I wonder if the how many orc babies we got That's a great question. We met on the set and now we go And what's cool is that movies now what? 22 years old so it's getting up there. Yeah. I was working at Brandon. Yeah, maybe, so those orc babies could kick our ass. You know what I mean? For sure. Oh yeah, there's no doubt.

Like if your parents were orcs in the movies, they're giant. They're giant, beefy people. And now you're 23, just all yoked out. You probably go surfing every day, eating nothing but whatever the fuck they eat down there. That Ders said earlier that I immediately forgot bad cheeseburgers Kiwis they eat kiwis. Yeah kiwis kiwis and bad cheeseburgers. Yeah kiwi on a burger. Yeah, I'll try it

Yeah, they're probably just jacked as fuck. Isn't there also a bird called the kiwi do they eat those? That's right. Um There is right There's a kiwi bird and a kiwi fruit. That's kind of confusing. I actually never thought of that. Right. Like you're like, hey, will you slice up a kiwi? And then someone comes in with blood all over and you're like...

Yeah, and I'm like, what the fuck? Not exactly what I'm at. What up, mate? Come on, man. What up, mate? I'm so fucking hungry. By the way, the music from Lord of the Rings is next level. I'm just going to leave that there.

I think I actually got you confused with Thomas Kellogg because he really hated Thomas Kellogg, the genie from Workaholics. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, he hated Thomas Kellogg. Our genie from Workaholics. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no. He hated Thomas Kellogg. Our teacher, Alex Goulson, I did not remember him hating me. So when he said that, it did throw me a little bit. Sorry. And I was like, oh shit, did he have some intel that I didn't?

Right. That's my bad because I remember clocking in my brain during Orange Coast Community College during improv class. I'm like, Adam Devine is very funny and Thomas Kellogg is very funny and Alex hated one of them and I thought it was you in the moment but he saw great things for you. He's like, you will be on Saturday Night Live. It wasn't right there but he was right that you would succeed. He was not right about that, no, they have not called me. They refused to return the phone calls.

But yes, he hates Thomas Kellogg. Even the faxes go unread. Unread. Nothing's going through over there. SNL. What's up with that? Your writers must listen to the podcast, but we don't get the call to be on the show every once in a while. You know what's funny?

This past week they had a funny sketch on where it was like these guys calling their dads to talk to them. Okay. And I was laughing and I explained it to Emma cause I was watching it without her. And I was like, oh yeah, SNL's pretty funny. It was like these guys calling their dads

and the dads like not being able to talk about their feelings. And she was like, didn't you guys do that on the podcast? Oh yeah. And I go. Yeah, we did. Also, by the way, Emma listens to the podcast. That's incredible. Oh yeah. That was like that was like episode nine or something. That was a long one. A long time ago. I don't I don't know where she is on this planet. But she pointed that out and I go, oh yeah, what the fuck? I'm not going to say that's like, not kind of like a universal joke that we can all pull out of thin air, but.

Sure, now that one feels like it's pretty universal. When it was Ratatouille having sex, that was so specific, and it was like literally the next week. So that one. But then I guess someone also had done a sketch like that at some point. Really?

Oh, did they? So maybe we're the thieves, who knows? Gotcha, bitch! Yeah, maybe it's us. I could see that. Saw the substance, speaking of showing kids movies. Oh, no spoilers, I wanna see that. There's a lot of movies I wanna see right now

and the substance is way up to that. What is that? It's the funniest movie I've seen this year. What? I laughed harder in that movie than I don't know what. Okay. I haven't heard that it was a comedy, but that's... Dude, if you're not laughing by the end of the...

If you're not laughing out loud... Okay. By the way, no one else in the theater is laughing. Hello, Eileen. And I'm like... I'm like... I'm audibly laughing. So it's like you when you saw American Psycho

and you're like, ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, but that's also very funny. Yeah, this seems like for sure. I mean, Ders is a little bit of a psychopath. Sorry, sociopath. Sorry, didn't mean to offend you, sociopath. Yeah. Somebody help me!

Don't offend psychos. I don't wanna to offend you, sociopath. Yeah. Somebody help me! Don't offend psychos. I don't want to offend psychos. You are, have a little bit of a sociopathic tendencies. So maybe this is it, cause this does not seem funny. No, no, no, no. I'm looking at it right now. Well, I'll say a few things.

It is for sure the most shocking movie I've ever seen in a theater. Really? Oh. Okay. You've never seen it? You've never seen it? You've never seen any Lars von Trier in the theaters?

That was all home theater stuff? I saw a couple of Lars von Trier movies, but this is... This is beyond that. This is... I'm not going to... No spoilers, but Lars von Trier movies are shocking in some ways. This is shocking in all sorts of other ways. I don't even know who that is. I'm getting excited well I have an associates of the arts so I know. Yeah you do. And it's just kind of like an assault of the senses but like it and by

the way I was saying that like if my mom saw this movie she would think like society is over. She'd be like, well, that's it. We had a good run. This clearly indicates the end. Perl! Right. But man, it gets so over the top and funny by the end

that if I, it has to be funny. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like you can't be like, oh my God. You could be actually. I mean, I think that's what everyone in the theater was, but dude, howling, like out loud. So, and you're watching this alone

because you're just in Australia? Just in Australia bored out of my mind. All by yourself, maybe the lone American, and you're just howling, laughing at this movie. You've seen Cape Fear? I'm smoking a cigar. And I'm just laughing maniacally. Like okay so like for instance we all here's a reference like Human Centipede that's a pretty disturbing movie but some could find it actually pretty

hilarious too like but it is like a torture in a lot of ways but you're like pooping into people's mouths it's a ridiculous premise. a ridiculous premise. So you can laugh at something like that, but some people might look at you sideways in the theater. But I think this was made with a little bit more of a comedic lens to it than human centipede. Human centipede kind of threads that, doesn't thread, I don't think it intentionally thread that needle of like shocking and taking itself seriously, but also like kind of so bad, it's funny thing.

Yeah. Like I remember the doctor being a pretty not good performance, right? Right. Yes. And so like they kind of go, yeah, no, we know, we know it was a joke, right? But like somebody wrote a serious screenplay about maybe the worst thing possible, which is having three people sewn together, ass to mouth. Oh, so that's what the movie, I kind of knew. Human centipede?

You never saw human centipede? No, dude, I don't watch shit like that. Oh. Oh, you got to. Say it! No, I don't have to. No, you actually don't. I don't have to.

All we have to do is tell you that what it is, is the doctor se shows like three people together and then basically feeds them and then they... And feeds the first person and then the first person shits into the second person's mouth. They eat that. And then he's like, he's like, it's got to go to the next person. It has to go to the final person. So it's like shots of them going, oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.

It's a lot of, no, no, no, no, acting. So then it's just like a lot of that. Then it's just waiting days and days, because I don't know, I mean, I have no problem shitting. I could shit anywhere, whenever, wherever, but I feel like a lot of people. Diarrhea.

You're a prime candidate for the doctor. Either you have diarrhea or you don't. If you're the doctor. I feel like a lot of people are scared're a prime candidate for the doctor. Either you have diarrhea or you don't. I feel like a lot of people are scared to poop in public. Like Blake, I'm sure Blake is scared to poop in public. And so here's the deal. In the movie, the guy's like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Like I have to, I have to shit.

And she's like, no, no, no, no. Like the dude in the front. We talked about this before I feel. So Blake, would you, so let's say if we were to get sewn together, and I'm the first one, and you have your mouth on my asshole. Zero hesitation for Adam. What? Your mouth's on my asshole. Yes. I'm eating your bussy. What else is new? Would you be able to shit into Dyrs's mouth? Because I don't think you could. I think you would. Your body would you would just die. Seize up.

You think out of politeness, he would die. I don't think it's even politeness. I think Blake wouldn't be able to shit in that moment. You get diarrhea too. Out of like just stage fright. Right. I feel like a lot of people wouldn't. But I feel like at a point, doesn't the human body hit a place where you can no longer stop it? It's called an impacted bowel. I feel like a lot of people wouldn't but I feel like at a point doesn't the human body hit a

Place where you can no longer stop it. It's called an impacted bowel I believe you would have that and Adam just had that right there in the chamber Yeah, I did how and I know you don't have your AA So I'm wondering how you got that information and maybe we'll uncover that word of the day impacted phrase of the day, impacted bowel. Phrase of the day. Yeah, but this movie's done on a whole other level of like artistic merit or whatever you want to call it. It's getting a lot of good buzz. And Demi Moore goes for it. I love that she's back.

So what is the basic premise? We talked a little bit about it. Give us the basic. I don't want to really know though. I don't want to fully know You know what? I won't tell you because I didn't know anything about it. We talked about it for ten minutes I know but I feel like the audience might want to know here's what I think it's about It's like a kind of like a aging actress and she's doing anything that kind of maybe stay young So like a death becomes her sort light on that? That is true. That's actually the comp I thought of at the very end. I was like, oh, this is Death Becomes Her

meets Black Swan. Okay, look it, sold in the room. Academy Award winning film. Meets, back to Peter Jackson, meets Dead Alive, if anyone's ever seen that. Very shaggy. Hollywood. Which was on the box, on the box it says

the goriest movie ever made. Back in the day. Yeah. Kinda was, right? That's the one where he lawn mowers the whole family at the table, Dead Alive. The big giant titty zombie whatever dragon lady. Yeah, that's a great flick.

If you're like a fan of Evil Dead 2, Dead Alive is right there. What's he say? I kick ass for the Lord. Yeah, that's right. What movies is? Dead of, Dead Alive? Dead Alive, yeah.

I've also never seen that. It's got two different names. It's a Peter Jackson movie before. I gotta watch some movies. You might not watch horror movies though, Adam. Yeah, I don't watch a lot. Yeah, but these ones are like action horror. They're very cool. They're like nerdy gore movies I just went and did a crazy thing that thing in DC the American Valor a salute to our heroes your back It was wild dude, first of all, I did not know what I was getting myself into.

I thought I wasn't hosting, and then turns out I was hosting, and I got like 80 pages of host copy like the week before. Gotcha, bitch! It ended up going pretty good. Of course, the only part that we biffed was when I'm talking to the Holocaust survivors That's the only part that we fucked up. Okay Okay, I could go a lot away. They said they they brought the people out in the wrong line. You watch a survivor on CBS That's pretty that's pretty tough. It's about the same, right?

How did this... I was supposed to ask this one guy a question, and so I'm saying his name, and I'm looking... Nice suit. What's it Holocaust? I'm looking right at him. So I'm saying this guy's name, I'm looking right at him, and I ask this like, what was it like? What do you want the American public to know about your time spent in the camps? And then this other guy starts talking. And that wasn't the guy that I asked the question to,

but they had lined them up in the wrong line. So it's just me. And then he goes, the other guy's like, wait, that's me. And I'm like, who? And he's like, that's my name. And I'm like, oh. And then they're like, yeah, we don't have a mic on the other guy. The producers are screaming at me and I'm like,

well, you lined him up wrong. And now I feel like an asshole. And then, so I asked the, the, the guy, the first guy, the question, and then he starts talking. But I think then he got nervous cause he was thrown off and like, you couldn't understand him. Cause these, these people are all over a hundred years old. So then you couldn't understand him because these these people are all over a hundred years old so then you couldn't really understand them and then I just Looked at the crowd and go. Thank you very much, and then that was it dude. It was miserable I felt so bad it I dropped the ball. I'm sure They're gonna edit it, and it's gonna look great. It's gonna be right. I mean God I hope so. Are these guys in wheelchairs? They were, they had people holding them.

So they're walking, a lot of them are walking. Because the move, the move, if someone's ever like wheeled out to you on stage, is you take a knee right next to them and you put like your hand on top of their hand right there and you get down on their level, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, hey, Dyrs, you're hosting next year. I'm gonna throw your name in the hat.

You're hosting next year. Oh my God! Absolutely. I mean, if those dudes are around, I can't wait to... But it was really cool. It was a really, really cool event. Besides the one flub, yeah, I met Rudy, and I mean, he was badass, dude. Actually, shorter met Rudy and I mean he was badass dude

Actually shorter than me. I I kind of thought really I kind of food that I We're gonna be the same size or maybe a little bit bigger, but oh it also made me go Could did I have a shot? Did I not try hard enough to play at Notre Dame you mean yeah, I Don't know you didn't graduate OCC, so, you know, we'll see. Well, I mean, that's not about football, dude. That's not about athletic abilities. I met Marcus Luttrell, Marcus Luttrell. Marcus Luttrell.

And he was one of the Navy SEALs, he was the lone survivor that Mark Wahlberg played in the movie, Lone Survivor. Right. Oh. And I met Taylor Kitsch, who was there. Sure. Who played Michael Murphy, who passed. I met Michael Murphy's dad. And then I met all these amazing Navy SEAL guys.

And Michael Murphy, for those who are listening, who don't know who that is. Who's Michael Murphy? He was the Taylor Kitsch's character in Lone Survivor Lone Survivor okay got it yeah got it I guess I didn't know Taylor Kitsch was in Lone Survivor oh yeah yes I thought it was just about one one guy no no no it starts off it's a group of them and then they get ambushed I remember seeing oh yeah it was a great movie it's uh I believe the story is and I don't want to fuck this up it's like ten guys rolled up on 150 dudes, right?

No way. No, they rolled up there just on like a scouting mission. And then like some goat herders are there. Oh, they like are like, what do we do? Like these guys could ride us out to the Taliban and they voted. And they're like, we're not going to kill these guys. Right. Because essentially they were either going to have to kill them or let them go down the hill or whatever. Because if they were to just tie them up, someone would come looking for them.

And so they just are like, let's just let them go. They go down these motherfucking goat herders. They ratted them out to the Taliban members. So the Taliban, it comes after them. And then it's a crazy shootout. And when I say that I've never met anyone like Marcus Luttrell, the guy was 6'6", stone cold eyes, the strongest. I went down, I shook all of their hands.

They're all like ripping my shoulder out of my socket and I don't think they're, I mean, they're not just doing it to do it. I mean, that's just their handshake. Yeah. You know, you meet someone and you're like, all right, buddy, you're trying to like big dick me, these guys, obviously their, their dicks are bigger than me. You know, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you trying to big dick me right now? Sir, are you trying to big dick me?

Well, you know, when you meet someone and then they're squeezing the shit out of your hand and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, okay okay chill buddy these guys They're their hands were so fucking meaty dude. Yeah, I just asked to meet the manager at Chipotle You don't have to try to crush my hand all right right? Yeah, that's the scenario wait Why are you asking for the manager? Oh cuz it was a really good day really good chicken a compliment absolutely Yeah, I like that for you But it was it was really cool seeing these guys, I'm like, you know how, I mean, I was kind of thought like, maybe if I was going to be in the military, I could probably be a Navy SEAL, you know?

Like if I'm going to go for it, I would... Yeah, you've got like mental fortitude. Yeah. Or at least I think I do, you know what I mean? At least I, and I also have delusional confidence. Okay. Right. I think that all these guys have a little bit of that. Yeah. And I think you have to in order to be able to do those sort of things. So I think maybe I could do it. And then upon meeting these guys, I was like, nope, can't. Not happening. Right. I can't. Cause they're all 6'4". Yeah. They're all absolutely jacked. They, I mean, they're like dresses like cowboys or like,

I mean, they're all the coolest motherfuckers you've ever seen in your life. I'm like unreal movie characters. They're dressed like cowboys. In other words, they're the coolest motherfuckers you've ever seen. Yeah, got it. You know what I mean? Like it does. It didn't seem fake.

It seemed like they they were walking the walk. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's what it is. You're actually in a room with a bunch of people who aren't fake. They are real heroes who really put their fucking lives on the line. It's crazy. It's very commendable. Do you guys ever watch those shows where they put people through the ringer? Like the training ringer of what it takes to be like these guys. And it's like, I don't know, a couple of weeks of like intense shit.

And like they start with like 100 people after day one, it's down to like 22. Right. Just after like the first thing drop out. And it's like physical, obviously. And then the mental stuff is the crazy shit. Yeah. They're like, so we're going to put you in a box for 12 hours with just babies crying, blasting on speakers. What? Wait, sorry.

What is this? Oh, this is for Navy SEALs training. Yeah. It's like a reality show where they put, there's all sorts of different reality shows where like they put people through Navy SEALs training or like the equivalent and the physical shit's tough tough obviously, but the mental stuff is also like crazy and they like interview these guys and ladies and they like get down to the nitty-grit of like what's the most painful thing you've ever been through?

Because like a lot of these people have come from some sort of background where like something devastating happened and it's it's like that's why they're able to send it so hard yeah they're like this isn't as bad as when my alcoholic dad would beat me and my family in front of me you know what I mean yeah well're like, this is not pain. Like how every comic needs to have something in their life that, like the great ones had something in their life that was off in order for them to tap into that gear, you know? I'm living in a nightmare.

Like Pryor grew up in a whorehouse, right? In a whorehouse, yeah. And his mom was a prostitute. Yeah. That'll do it. mom was a prostitute. Yeah. That'll do it. You're gonna be funny. Yeah, so either you become funny or you become a fucking sick killing machine.

That's pretty cool. Cool pimp. Or a cool drug dealer or a pimp or actually it can be kind of a lot of cool things. Yeah. Yeah, rapper. But the mental stuff, dude, I was just kind of like, whoa.

Oh, I would fail immediately. I don't know, like doing a bunch of chin ups and running or whatever the fuck. Like sure, you can train for that, but like training to just be stuck in a box for 12 hours with your mind and it's hot as fuck. And you're like sweating and like, it's just. Yeah, dude.

The baby's on top of it the box alone is art Yeah, I read the Rob O'Neill book and he's the guy that he was the Navy SEAL that the SEAL Team 6 guy that killed Bin Laden mm-hmm and got him got him got him he wrote this book and I mean it kind of goes into detail like Everything that they have to go through in order to become a nevus seal it's absolutely wild like what they have to put themselves through yeah got him by Rob O'Neill well they have like

the highest training of any military right yeah and I think it used to be crazier I think it used to be like a little fast and loose where it would be like, hey man, every once in a while, we need to beat you up because like, Oh my God! You just need to know what that feels like. What pain feels like. Yeah, you gotta get checked. I don't know if they do that anymore.

Or like, don't they put you through like, like torture to kind of like, Sleep deprivation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like sleep deprivation and all that stuff. Yeah, where it's like, if they catch you and they put you through torture, you need to be able to like keep your lips zipped or whatever. And you need to like memorize like, I don't know, 200 word passages or some

shit, I don't know what it is, but like, you need to memorize certain things so that when you're sleep deprived and they're like, okay, so what's that thing? And you just go is roses of red, violence from blue. Fucking, he's trying to big dick me from the back. You big dicking me. Give me a hell yeah.

Break on, break on. Yeah. Yeah, I think, you know, I mean, it's also you could have, he could have killed himself. He could have killed other people. That's the one. Like if you go to a sports game, like a football game or whatever, and you're you're rocking a Georgia gear and you go to Alabama and you're like, fuck Alabama. And then you get your ass kicked. That's just on you because you're just gonna get your ass kicked. It's science. I know, but if you punch somebody, they fall the wrong way. They're paralyzed or they die. It's still stupid.

Or you get paralyzed. But dude, now then. I'm a dumbass. Now you're getting the clips. Yeah, it's all about clips. Now you have a journey. You're gonna like, if you guys keep watching, I'll start walking. Then you're set.

Right. Brought to you by the fucking, I don't know what, Nike just sent these shoes, they're pretty cool. Can't run in them, but. I mean, has anyone done a comedy set in the world of influencers yet? Like a real, like, I've seen a few that were. Like a show?

Yes. What was it called? There was like a horror one about a dude. It's the guy from Stranger. Yeah, I don't want a horror I don't want a horror. I want a straight-up comedy. That's about influence. It goes west Yeah, but that was more of a thriller didn't they do like um like a house they do a house like but I guess that's put on By the influencers. What's that one house? But the thing is, I don't know. I feel like one of my favorite movies, favorite comedy is the last however many years, Pop Star, made fun of Justin Bieber type guys. And the generation that likes Bieber didn't like the movie.

They were like, don't fucking clown our guy. Make fun of him. And so I'm like, can you clown these people that essentially everybody likes well I mean yeah but I mean is the way that people that like NASCAR still like Teledega Knights you know what I mean right I gotta think yeah it correctly I don't think it's you're not like talking down to but can. But can you outdo, can you out social media, the social media? I guess, yeah, I would have to hear the take.

Like in Talladega Nights, they're outdoing how ridiculous NASCAR people are. Like it's a cartoon character basically. Can you out, I don't know. I know what you're saying. I would love to see this movie, but it would just be so obvious where you're like Yeah, that's it SNL kind of does it almost has to become it has to become a horror in a way because the only way

My mind goes is like it gets bad It's really dark like what's the happy version of it? Well, but it doesn't have to okay Use your associates of the arts degree, okay? It can be funny the entire time. I don't give a fuck! Even if a guy is paralyzed and he's like, if I get enough clicks, I'm gonna walk, you know? Yeah.

Like, it can be silly. It doesn't need to be, I mean, that is sad, but it's all tone, baby. Yeah. Yeah. And also like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. That is sad, but it's all tone, baby. Yeah. Yeah. And also, like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. It's weird that it hasn't happened yet. Also comedy in movies is good. Oh yeah, fully dead. On live support. But yeah, how is there not a TV show that follows a person and then shows the behind the scenes. I don't know, cause it already exists.

You're already following. I think cause they already put it on their YouTube and they're like, well, why would I waste all this hot content for a TV show? Scripted. No, but I mean, sorry, no, I mean a show about it, like a scripted show about it. Oh, sure.

Just watch the real thing, maybe it's better. The TikTok. I think, guys, I Maybe it's better. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's TikTok. Yeah. I think, guys, I think we really tapped into something here today. Wow. Listen to us. We're speechless.

That felt good. That's a first. Wow. Huh? Wow, dude. It's almost like someone's trying to big dick me from the back. Is there any take back?

I think I just add bit to the back. I would like to say thank you to American Valor for having me out there to host that thing. I was in way over my head but it went pretty great and Besides that, you know, there was a couple flubs. You're the lone survivor, but it was it was pretty it was pretty damn awesome I said right right away. I'm like I'm going to mess up. Yeah, I had like a day to prepare They're like I don't want to hear any fucking excuses. There's a teleprompter so far away.

You're going to see how I can't read. Misfire. No, the crowd was actually fantastic. They were like, woo, the whole time. It was like a 3 and 1 half hour long show. And who was the crowd? Was the crowd like docked soldiers or whatever? Yes, a lot of military, a lot of veterans.

Servicemen and women? Predominantly that, and their families and friends. We're doing live! It's awesome, dude. I respect you for doing that, when I heard you were gonna do that. Yeah, it was really cool. Shout out American Valor.

Yeah, let's see. I'm trying to think if I have any take backs. I feel like I was on pretty good behavior today. You always are, dude. You never say that. We're kind of waiting for you to step up on the podcast and maybe say something a little outside of your comfort zone a little bit, dude. Show your butthole or something. Oh, well, you know, put yourself out there just a little bit.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a hot? Why don't you give us a hot take? Give us a hot take. Give us one hot take. Some that'll step on some toes. Some that the comments section can get after. I don't really know what would rock the boat. What would be a hot take? That's not for us to answer, Blake. It's for you to decide. Yes.

I mean, I don't... Don't ask us. I don't really have one, guys. I just go about my day. Oh, wow. Dude, and that's the best about... I don't really have one guys. I just I just go about my day. Oh wow, dude And that's the best about I'm out here telling an entire continent they have bad food. Yeah Dude, I love it and you can't think one thing And that's what you want from your comedians is just having no takes no hot takes no cold takes

Just sort of right down the middle Never really having opinions on things. Well, now I think about it. Yeah, you know, I don't really like. How about this, Blake? We're talking about the military. What the hell? Right. Wait. What?

OK, go ahead. OK, I'm sorry. We were talking about the military. Yes, we were. So Do we know the different branches? What do you think is the? Without the Coast Guard. Mm-hmm, because that's the easy answer. What is the weakest? Sorry, it's branch of the military. There's a hot take what you got. Yeah, why do we Navy Air Force? Marines or Army? Mm-hmm

That's a tough one. I'm thinking maybe I guess it's gotta be the army. Yeah Okay, the army that it has the it's the easiest one to get into is it I don't know. I don't know enough about the the pro. Wow. Did you guys hear that army? Fuck it. Burn him up in the comments. Dude, I do not like this. I don't like this hot take section. I don't like it one bit. I feel set up.

I try to write a neutral line. The fucking Rangers, are you kidding me? You guys, this is great. This is Switzerland of comedy, Blakey Anderson. Now I'm gonna get my fricking head shaved at a bar by some army brat. I'm going to Bratz now. That's actually not a bad idea. Oh, wow Children

You know what I actually ran into quite a few I might trip to DC people that were shouting out This is important. Okay. And just down in Orange County the other day, I was stopped on the street pushing Bo. Someone said how much they love it. And I just want to say thank you to our followers and listeners for supporting us all the way from Workaholics through Game Over Man to this. And I promise we're going gonna come out with other stuff that we try, that we're gonna try, unlike this podcast

where obviously we're not trying too hard. You don't want it to try, we don't want it to be too hard. That shit's important. I mean, I brought a fucking light to Australia. You did, that is commendable. Shout out to you, shout out to you. And I want to thank you guys for being along for the ride, for us.

Yes. And if I could just do a quick take back about what I said about the Army. Honestly, I can't choose. And I shouldn't have. And I shouldn't have. And all of our forces are equally important and awesome. So that's my take back for the day.

Yeah. Except for Coast Guard. And by the way, shout out to the people who listen to This Is Important who never watched Workaholics. And that's incredible. Because we know you're out there. I said that last week. I had a meeting and he said he went on a date and the girl had never watched Workaholics. came to multiple live shows. She loves the podcast so much unbelievable. Yeah, thanks for her And Blake if you could just play some cool like soldier music oh yeah to get us Oh, yeah, I don't know if that means soldier boy Can we do soldier boy? No, you want more?
