Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered

a terrible secret. I saw it in a folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom. Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about

what's obviously most crucially important. Today on This Is Important… When's the last time you saw a fucking owl, you prick? The strip tacos must be an aphrodisiac, because I want to fuck everything. Where is a vagina located on a chicken? We're wearing kilts. Steve doesn't have anything on underneath. Let's go. Yeah, guys, and we're in it, baby. Oh my god, I felt good. Here we are. What's up?

Hello to kick us off. Thank you. Thank you, Blakey. You're welcome, guys. I'm so happy to see you. I love my friends. Uh, guys, we should all take a group vacation together, and I'm dead serious about this. I was just in Mexico. Chloe and I were looking for wedding venues because our wedding venue here in California just up and canceled all events for 2021. So that's sick, sick butthole. And so we go down to Mexico. Nobody's there. It's a fucking empty resort. There was like 170 rooms at this resort, and there's maybe 10 rooms full. And it was insane. And everybody's like, it's the most socially distanced I've been

since this whole goddamn thing started, including inside of my house. Where in Mexico? What city? Yeah, what part? We went to Punta Mita, which is beautiful, and no one knows about it, which was awesome. And then we went to Cabo, and that was a little more crowded, but still not bad at all. Is in Punta Mita in Nai, N-A-Y? No, it's right by Punta Vallarta. Yeah, I thought it, when I looked it up on the map, it looked like it was by Sayulito,

which is, I've been there and it's fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, it was super, it was super gorge. So we're, yeah, we might get married there. We might get married in Cabo. We don't know, but it was, I was like the whole time I'm there, I'm like, why is anyone in LA? Just fucking escape from LA. Right, great movie. Get away, like the rest of the world, you can be away from people. Oh yeah. And you could be in paradise.

Financially, some people can't, some people are just here. I think a lot of people are working essential jobs. Yeah, but a lot of people are working just off their computer. You can do that anywhere, dude. Yep, thank you. Find your beach. Digital nomads. The last vacation I went to was Sayulito right before they locked us down in America, and it was like...

We're locking ourselves down, Kyle. It's not they, we're all in this together. Not Kyle, Kyle's out and about. I love it, the verbiage, we're getting into it. Let's get into verbiage. Yeah, yeah, no, I agree with you. My point was that it was cheap as fuck, so it was the best. Uh-huh, yeah. I know, that's what was cool about Punta Mita. It was like, I'm at a nice resort, right? Like it's a nice...

Yes. Quality resort, it's a St. Regis. It's a St. Regis. Yeah, and beers were $4, American. Yeah. Yellow. Like from the resort bar. Four bucks?

Yeah, four bucks. I'm like, this is a fucking steal at a resort. Yeah. Well, that's at a resort. Yeah. If you go outside of the resort and do the Airbnb thing or that thing, it's... It's free, dude. They pay you to get drunk. It's pesos, baby. Yeah.

They pay you to get drunk. Could you get me a nice drink? Who's that? That was me for sure. I want to say that the Four Seasons Maui, like at the beginning of the pandemic, they were like, you can come here for a month and it would cost the same as it would be like for a week, which is like a week is expensive, obviously. But like if you stretch that over a month at the fucking Four Seasons, not bad.

Yeah. What's up with Hawaii? Can we go over there now? Hawaii's green light. It's green light. Yeah, but they're not fucking around. You got to stay pretty locked down if you're in a hotel. Is it one of those quarantine situations where you have to stay in a hotel for like 14 days before you can even go out? I believe so.

That's what I'm doing up in Canada right now. My parents went, they didn't have to 14-day it. Oh, really? They told you that? Yeah. Uh-oh. Yeah, I think we're spreading some false information. I bet podcasts are going to fucking flag our asses.

Flag us? I love to be educated. Flag me, bitch. I got a friend who just moved there and she said she had to lock it down for two weeks. Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought that was the case. But maybe she was talking about like a dude. She locked down a dude really well. Oh, it was a love lockdown situation? Yeah, I had to lock it down.

Yeah. I had to lock it down for two weeks. She's like, I went there. I had to lock it down for a couple weeks. Adam, I would love to go on a friendship vacation. Honestly, Mexico is kind of my retirement plan. I'm trying to be a Mexican, brother. I told Chloe on more than one occasion how much I think Blake would love Mexico.

Oh, yeah. Specifically Punta Mita, because it felt, it didn't feel, Cabo just felt like Southern California. Right, right. I was like, oh, this is like Newport Beach South. It's a vibe, which I'm down for. And let's go. Nueve Porto.

Sure, which is very nice, but Punta Mita felt like I'm like, oh, this is Mexico. This is cool. Oh, I'm so jealous. Yeah, it's the best. It's not Naya, it's Naya Rite is where it is. Salirita Naya Rite, that's where I think it is. All those words that you just said sound real to me, and I 100% believe you, Kyle.

It's the best. And they roll off your tongue, and you are speaking my language, baby. Let's get there. Yeah, get your bum down there, man. It's so sick. As long as they understand Margarita. I might not come back, brother. I'm just saying.

I didn't want to. When I went down there, I was down there for three weeks, and it was like I had my wife, my kid down there, and it was like, nah, man, I'm on the internet. I'm doing fine. I'm doing notes on cuts. Like, yeah, I don't need to go anywhere. Yeah, it's great.

Did you eat shrimp for every meal? Was it just shrimp? Well, I made the mistake when I went down there, and then it was like this awesome taco stand on the beach. So we're at the resort. So we're sitting there, and it was like, it's beautiful. The sun's setting. The birds are cacoying.

And I was like, they had just this monster Margarita list, and I'd lock eyes with Khloé, and I'm like, yo, let's take down this whole list. Oh, right. And she's like, let's do it. Like two straws per kind of situation? We're like, you guys are taste testing? Like, we each have one, and then we like kind of trade.

Oh, damn. And so we marched down the list. I was like legit, maybe almost 20. We didn't do it exact count. It was just I in it. Oh, I'm getting so excited. 20 Margaritas? How?

We were so fucking drunk that you guys. Diabetes, dude. I'm still going to send it. Like, ruin the next day. Like, the next day, I was like, I was like, oh, this is the most hungover I've been. My head was just like, when Kyle said a few podcasts ago, like why he quit drinking is because the hangovers were so bad.

We want to take like an ice pick to his skull or whatever he said. Yeah, man. He's the base. I wanted to drill that shit. I've never experienced that. Normally, I can shake off a hangover within a couple hours. Yeah, you're a chooper. It was like a day and a half.

Oh, bro, it's catching up. Yeah, it's catching up. That's my guy. Yeah, the age is starting. Give me a hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. And you're one of my best drinking friends, to be honest. You are great at it.

Thank you. Put some back. Thank you. Yeah, I do pride myself on how much alcohol I could throw in my system. So what happened on that hangover day? Did you have shit that you had to do or was it just a wash? No, I went and did all kinds of shit. We went and we looked at another property and toured the thing.

And then I just regrouped, regathered, and hid it again. Yeah. Hey, nothing like, don't do what we did last night. Wait a second. Well, it was the only, I was like, well, I don't know. I did a workout the next day to try to shake it off. There we go. I puked in a bush.

I did a body weight workout on the beach and was just like, so sick. Yeah, he is so sick when he pukes. He's very sick. No, that's rad. It's poisoned. Yeah, he's in fact poisoned. And then I was like, you know what, I need to,

maybe if I have another drink, it'll make me feel good. Yep, yep. And Chloe's like, that's an insane thing to say. And then of course I had one drink, felt great, had three more, felt really great. Yeah. My boy. It works like that.

For the youth of America, if you feel bad, just keep drinking, allegedly. Yay! Just cut it. Have any of you guys been to Mexico City? I have not. I think I want to do that. I flew in to there because we had to,

when we went from Punta Mita to Cabo, there was no direct flight. Weirdly, you had to fly all the way to Mexico City and then turn around and fly all the way. And don't go, man. Just from the little window, I was like, this is the smogiest city I've ever seen in my life. It's worse than flying into LA when it's at its smogiest. I'm like, oh, this is truly yuck mode.

I'm with you. I know that's gross, but I kind of want to see what's up in underneath that smog. You know what I mean? Like I want to go to New York in 77 and see what that was like. Yeah, I hear it's awesome over there in Mexico City. Well, it was gigantic. It's huge.

It's like 15 million people, right? Like when you fly into LA, you can see the outskirts of LA. I mean, it's far, but you're like, oh, this is a giant city. But you could see it. You could see the mountains. You're like, there are those outskirts out there, skirting. You can see the mountains and you're like, it's skirting out there. It's starting to skirt.

And with Mexico City, I saw no skirts. I saw no skirt, skirt. Did not even like mini skirts? Zero skirts. It just kept going. I haven't spent a lot of time in Mexico. I didn't know how much of it was really a thing. The car service that took us from the hotel to the resort was like,

do you guys want to go to the pharmacy? And I'm, I don't, you know, I'm like not a pill guy. So I don't even know that that's a thing. So I was like, and Chloe needed like toothpaste. She forgot toothpaste. So I'm like, I guess, yeah, if it's on the way, we'll stop. And, and so he's like, I got you. And he took us there.

No toothpaste. And it's just like a wall of drugs. And then they hand me a, a menu. And I was like, oh, do I get into drugs on this trip? Hell yeah. What'd they have to offer you? They had everything, dude. They had Xanax, which I've never really fucked with, but I know people love.

They have pain pills that I don't fuck with, but like I know people do. And then they had steroids, which I was like real close. How do they like label them? Are there like sections? Yeah, there was like painkillers. Like a picture of like a buff dude. So you're like, oh, this is the steroids over here. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Let's not bury the headline. What was up with them dick pills? Yeah. Yeah, they had dick pills. They for sure had dick pills. Yeah, they got that. Right. Chloe, go get in the car.

Let me get someone else's dick pills. Yeah. It's just like, oh, you know what would be hilarious if we got like a thousand dick pills and gave it to people as jokes. That'd be, that'd be hilarious. Prank wars. And then I give you guys each like two dick pills, like as a joke. Hey, what happened to the other nine hundred and ninety dick pills, Adam?

I don't know. Please touch it. It's going to explode. That'd be a cool wedding though. Everybody's just got boners all the time. Dude, bone tent. I'd be down for that. Dude, when I lived in Orange County, like that was one of the first things I did

when I moved down there was go to Mexico strictly for pain pills, because I just wanted, I loved them. I absolutely fucking loved pain pills and they sold them for nothing. Yeah, that's sad. Yeah. Yeah, I dug them. Yeah, I don't fuck with, I don't really fuck with pain pills. Remember when I broke my ribs, jumping on a trash can when we were filming

workaholics? Like I, or I cracked a ribs. We do. We do remember those. Super hurt and they gave me some big fat fucking pain pills. And then I like forgot to take them. I was just like. Because you're so fucking tough, dude.

You are tough as nails. It's not that. I just was like, I don't want these in my body. I only like them because I have had obviously a lot of injuries to my bodies. I don't, I only like them for the first few days when the pain is like intolerable. But then after that, I don't like feeling, I'm already a certain amount of dumb. And I feel like pain pills dumb you down even further. And I'm like, I'm not trying to go to like true ignoramus levels.

Right. I like to keep my level of dumb. I dug them so much. I mean, and I still really dig them that so much that I don't take them because of that. Because what? What's the like, what's, what does it answer? What's it tick them? I just love the way it makes you feel.

If you just get stuck to the couch, you feel like kind of like Vibro, like a little like and like strange and shit. And it's like, I don't know. I just dig it. Like when I was in high school, I broke my arm and I never took the pain pills. When I needed them, I saved them for after I was healed so that I could get the full feeling of the pain pills because I just loved them. I dug the way it made you feel.

You just started breaking your arms. Kyle's just taking hammers to his shins. That's what I, I broke them a few times in, in high school and I saved them and I would always get reloaded and stuff like that. And then my girlfriend had back issues. So she had a whole bunch of like solar and coding and shit and she would hook them up. You started kicking her in the back. You would specifically only date women who were previously injured and had pain pills.

Well, she hooked it up. Yeah. Kyle would cruise the nurses office being like, has anyone recently hurt themselves? You're looking real pretty today. You're beautiful. Yeah, dude. Let me carry you up those steps. Give those crutches a break.

So the main headline is it made you feel Vibro. Yeah. It made me feel Vibro. Like I really dug it. Yeah. Yeah. And we are quoting you as saying it makes pain pills make me feel Vibro. Yeah.

We got to get some merch, some like wraps, some like ACE bandages to just say Vibro. I went on a fucking family cruise to Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo and I bought fucking pain pills there too. And I put them in my jacket. I got a big old bag. I got them for nothing. Put them in my jacket pocket. And as I was walking back on to the boat with my family, they were like, they patted down

my pocket and I was like, oh fuck. Your family did? No, the fucking, the guys that were like making sure you didn't bring anything in. Oh, cruise control? Uh-huh. And they found this bag of pain pills. So what did they do? And they took it.

They just took it. They took it from me and they took my name and I did that shit on the slide. Like nobody in my family saw this happen. And so I'm like, okay. Shameful. Kyle, that episode did not get my pecker hard. I knew you were too Vibro on that, on that trip. Dude, son, I need to talk to you.

I was bummed because I was like, I couldn't get Vibro. And then I like, at the end of the trip, we were all waiting to D board the ship or whatever it is. And they call my name over the intercom. They're like, Kyle knew a check come to customs. Oh, did you win something? Oh my God. And I was like, and my whole family, my grandpa, my fucking, they're like, what's going on?

I'm like, mom, come with me because, because I needed, I knew I was about to get fucked. And so I like, I, on the way over there, I talked to my mom. I was like, look, I, I smuggled some pain pills back in. I have some pills that I thought were going to get my pecker hard. But she say, sweetheart, I know at dinner last night, you were way too Vibro. All right. No, she was cool, man. She honestly like vouched for me and got me off the hook and I just wasn't.

What did she vouch for you? Meaning like, oh, he needs pain kills this guy's. No, we came up because I was dating a girl that needed pain. At the time. And so we came up with a plan that was like, look, I'm going to say that I got this from my girlfriend and my mom actually might have not even known that I might have been lying to her and saying like, I got this from my girlfriend. Can you please help me?

I didn't know it was illegal. Kyle, I didn't like the podcast. Is it illegal? I think statute of limitations player. It's all good. It's all G. No, I mean, like, is it illegal to go and buy medication down there and come back? People do it all the time.

I don't think it's illegal, but I think you have to have some kind of proof that you need this drug to come back into America. You were also 16. I was 17 at the time. Yeah, you were a kid. So that's another thing. Right. Right.

I was like, because the list was fucking extensive. And if Chloe was like, you know, let's get out of here. What are we doing? We have Margaret. It was like right when we first got to Mexico. Now we're just in this pharmacy instead of on a beach and she's like, let's get out of here. And I'm like, hang on. I'm reading this.

I'm reading this list. I was like, you can get true steroids. I was thinking, maybe we all, I bring them back and as like a, you know, kind of a fun thing that we do on the podcast, we all take steroids for a month and see who has the biggest arms and limits. Friendship. No, we see who's got the smallest nuts. Yeah.

Whose nuts shrink the most. We'll all measure our nuts. And then at the end of one month of taking steroids, we measure our nuts and see who shrunk the most. We'll post and we'll have people vote on who has the smallest nuts. What do you mean? You measure them. That's not like a vote.

No, no, no, no. I do vote. I do vote. No, no, no. We measure and then we have people vote on like cuteness or like cuteness of the nuts. Right. There you go. Or we have people guesstimate how many wrinkles we have combined in our scrote.

Is that a real thing? Steroids shrink your balls. Is that real? Like a real thing? Well, that's, is that real, babe? I don't know. I'm going off of like 80s, like Saved by the Bell shit from AC Slater. I'm so excited.

Yeah, I don't know. Jesse in her diet pills. Damn legendary. Yeah, I bet they have some good diet pills too. Dang, I fucking blew it. I should have been buying it up. Yeah, you could have had some shredders. But guys, I think we found a venue for the wedding.

It's going to be, it's going to be kick butt. Do you want to announce it here and the date and everything? Yeah, address. Yeah, I'd like to tell everybody before I fully know. Yeah, before you've talked it over with your wife. We made a full decision. Cool. Baby, I already said it on the pod.

We have to do it. We have to do it there. We have to. Meundies is going to be pissed if. Is the wedding going to be brought to you by Meundies? It's, it's sponsored by our sponsors. It's manscaped. Bro.

It's brought to you by Beast Mode. That's smart. And do you, Adam, take Meundies? And now the ring presented by Tushy. Because your ass needs to be washed. And now the ring brought to you by Ring. Weddings are too damn expensive for what they are. You know what I mean?

Thank you, Kyle. And now finally we're getting into it. It's, it's a machine. It's a whole industry now. It is. Someone said it. Thank God. Ah, and the cakes?

It is. It's expensive. Ah, the cakes. The cakes. And you have to go to the certain people that work with the venue and they really just hold you over a barrel? Finally, someone taken the wedding industry to task. Thank you.

And the dick pills you have to buy for your entire wedding party? All the dick pills you have to buy for the entire, I mean, it will be fun when I buy us all dick pills and make us take them one hour before the ceremony. That'll be a ceremony. Oh, wow. Be your own way. Dude, I'm dead.

That will be tight just to fucking, and we're all wearing like kilts, like those super white, those white dude weddings are like, we're wearing kilts. Steve doesn't have anything on underneath. Fucking Steve. That would be so funny if you like orchestrated the outfits that we had to wear so we couldn't protect our boners

and then spiked our fucking, spiked us with boner pills. See now, this is a wedding. And we're all standing up there like fucking, uh, uh. Protect your boners. 20 margaritas. Make sure you lick the salt. Okay, okay.

You need us to lick the salt. And he made us wear these linen white pants. He made us wear these meandis. Yeah, it's a beach wedding, it makes sense. He really wanted us in all linen, everything. Bro, are you, are you hard right now? I've been hard all weekend. Something has made my pecker heart.

It's hurting. It won't go down. It hurts. It hurts. I just want to be flaccid. The shrimp tacos must be an aphrodisiac because I want to fuck everything. Hi, I'm David Eagleman.

and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark, she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me.

Was that the number one stunner? Like, was that the go-to? The tacos, there was like a dope taco stand right on the beach, and that was night one. And yeah, that was like a real banger. There was also some like cool local restaurants that we went to and put to meet you. We got a, you rented a golf cart for like $40 a day

or something, very reasonable. And you were able to drive it into town and shit. And yeah, we went to a few local restaurants. It was fucking awesome. It was so cool. I cannot wait to go back with all of you guys. Can't wait to be there. You know what, I'm going to turn it into a vacation.

I'm going to say for 400 extra days on the back. There we go. My guy. G-B-H, tight butthole. Good idea. Can I join you? Do you want to like entertain my kids or some shit? I would love to be the babysitter.

Thank you. I'm Plakes the Nanny, dude. That's cool. Oh, Mr. Nanny? Yeah. I'm down. I'm down. Oh my god.

You guys yesterday, I fucking divined it. Oh, you almost killed someone. You almost died yourself. Yeah, did you, did you almost fight someone? You almost died. I was on a bike. No, I was, I took like a pre-workout at 4 PM when I was doing a little workout

and I fell asleep at 6 AM. You fell asleep at 6 PM? 6 AM. Okay. Holy shit. It was one of those. Well, I will say things affect you a lot. Yes.

Like you don't like, you don't really smoke that much weed. You don't to do that many energy drinks because I think things affect you greatly. Right? Yeah. Is that a fair assessment? Yeah. I mean, I do.

But so I usually do like a workout around 9 AM, 9 30. So I'll take it then and I don't have trouble sleeping. But dude, fucking after 4, I was wide awake. It was a nightmare. Oh yeah. I worked out last night at like 8 o'clock and took pre-workout right before. And guess what guys?

You're doing your, your potion? No, I stopped. I'm three days, I'm three days without the potion. Oh my god. Oh my god. Good man. Good, good, good. Good job, man.

I get a lot of people like, they are like, hey, great job. The pot is so cool. But like, what's up with Adam? Is he serious or is that a bit? Like we're worried about him. Yeah, is he seriously kick ass? Yeah.

Yeah, he's seriously awesome. I think the, yeah, a lot of people are hitting me up going seriously awesome. However you want to spin it. Yeah, however you want to spin it. But a lot of people hit me up and say like, they're honestly worried about you. And why are they going through you?

Yeah, well, I think the Uruguloids are like. I'm just talking to them. They're kind of the bitch of our fans. So they're like the bitches of our fans. They're motherly. However you'd like to spin it, I'm just relaying the message and I'm happy that you've stopped.

He's still gonna spin it. Well, I have, I have stopped for three whole days. Message. So that's, it's been going great. That's good. Well, Ders, I can speak to like, I'm a good sleeper. I can fall asleep very well. I hate the feeling of being restless

and not being able to go to bed. That's why I, I will admit, I have tried cocaine once in my life and I absolutely hated it because I could not fall asleep. And it drove me insane. Right. Yeah. I mean, this was a step down from that.

Actually, it might not be. It's called like, it's this pre-workout that I grabbed. I usually do this other brand, but I ran out and I just went to G&C and got it's called Lit AF. Yeah. No, that's cocaine. That's, it's like gummy worm flavor. It's insane.

I fucking love pre-workout stuff. In another life, I feel like I would have been a cocaine. Oh yeah. Like I just, I, you know, I just don't like the feeling. If you were more in your prime in the 80s, you would be coke to the wall. Yeah, I'd be, I'd be coke to the max for sure. Well, cocaine also fucking rules.

It's so dope. Yeah. It's really dope. I don't know. Never done it. Yeah. I love that shit. Yeah. You've never done cocaine? Me? Yeah.

No. Wow. I'm so glad you haven't. Can you imagine, can you, my whole thing is like, I'm just not a hard drug guy, but I'm like, can you imagine me on cocaine? Yes. Have you seen American Psycho? You'd be Patrick Bateman.

You would be up for a week straight. You would, you would just see a bag of cocaine and all of a sudden just start sprinting somewhere. Yeah. Oh man. You got to try it, dude. No, I don't think there's needs to. I'm not really interested in.

I wonder what drug I would want to do. I don't know. You should do some micro dosing of shrooms. I think that might do you. Yeah. The silly cybern, bro. Oh, you've never done mushrooms either, huh, Jersey? No, no. Oh my gosh.

Yeah. Mushrooms are my favorite drug. I will say, I haven't done like all the drugs, but I've done a fair amount of drugs. I handle. And mushrooms are for sure my favorite. It's awesome. Yeah. They rock. And that's just you just,

you're just hallucinating and going, wow, look at that possum over there, but really it's like a cuckoo clock. No, it's not that psycho. No, it's not. It's very rarely. You're very rarely seeing shit, but you have to take a lot.

Yeah. But I mean, I used to do a lot of mushrooms in high schools. Hey kids, if you want to get ahead in life, allegedly. Yeah. Yeah, I probably did like 25 times in high school. Nice. 20, but who's counting? Yeah, like, I mean, dozens, like a couple dozen probably.

And it's, and then less as I've gotten older, just because, you know, you just kind of do less drugs. You got to be somewhere. Yeah, you have things to do. But it's just the fucking best. It's you laugh so hard, colors are more vibrant. And I just started, not just started, but I've, like two years ago, I went to a buddy's birthday party

and we all microdosed and out in the desert. And I'm like, well, I was like, I don't know if I really want to be on mushrooms right now. This is more of a party atmosphere I'm trying to do. Is that the Friday that you were there and I came on Saturday? Yeah, exactly. You came the next day. And I was like, I don't know if I really want to do this.

And our buddy whose birthday it was, he was like, it's microdose. It's not the same. You're not going to trip balls. It's just kind of the fun effects where everything, you're just giggly and everything's like in super focus. Vibrant. Everything's vibrant.

The colors are on and popping. And I'm like, all right, I'll give it a go. Vibro. And I was fully vibroed. Fully vibroed. Vibroed. And so then we took it. I was like, oh, why am I not doing this every day

right when I wake up in the morning, allegedly? Well, that was the thing. I didn't do shrooms until microdosing became like an idea because before it was like just fucking take the 8th to the dome. And it's like, I'm so scared of doing that because I already have a vivid imagination, very nervous as to where I'm going to go. Yeah, you're talking about colors.

And I'm like, I feel like colors are, they're doing their thing already for me. Yeah, that's why I stayed away from the hallucinogens and all that because I'm like, dude, I'm already like fucking pretty vibro, like just walking around. Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind about that. Yeah, you are a vibro.

Yeah, but the microdosing was something else. Like that's like, it's cool because you can just take a little tiny drop and then like, you're like, oh. Do you think that dude, Mike Rowe, has his own line of microdose? I hope so. It's a dirty job.

Dirty jobs. Hey, it's me with the hat. I got microdoses that'd be fucking sick. Damn, you're on to something. I'm on something. Well, I feel every time I've ever done mushrooms, like a real amount of mushrooms, not just like a little microdose,

I always think like that you've, you haven't figured out. Yeah. Like the universe. Shit becomes clear to you. Right. You're like, yes, you know what, I understand it now. And then as soon as you get sober again, like six, eight hours later,

you're like, what the fuck did I have figured out? Yeah. Son of a bitch. And actually, me and my homie Austin, who you guys know, we actually, back in the day when we were like 19 years old, we filmed ourselves tripping so we could look back and be like, well that,

then we'll look back and kind of know, hopefully maybe we said something to where we could figure it all out, the universe basically. And then we just went back and looked at, it's like an eight hour tape of us just like touching the popcorn ceiling on our shitty apartment and being like,

whoa, you've got to feel this too. It's a state of mind, man. Jesus. Just children poisoned feeling walls. I got to see those tapes. Dig it. What about LSD? Have you guys ever fucked with LSD or?

Oh, that I've done a ton of. Yeah, dude. Yeah, that's, that's, that's regular, brother. Ders went right to acid. Spinal tap? Well, that's what, I mean, I was tripping, like my pops was like, LSD was my favorite drug. And I was like, oh, really?

Well, that was a more of a 70s drug. I mean, people still obviously still do it, but like that was big in the 70s. I've never done it again. That feels harder to control than silly side, but it just feels like it's not going to be. Well, with a mushroom, mushrooms, you see how much you're ingesting

and it was just grown from the earth. Like with acid, like when you do, if like they put it on a tab or I've seen people, I've never done it myself either, but like they put it on a gum and you're like, you don't know how much they accidentally squirted from their little, uh, droplet. Right.

It feels much more of like a medication laboratory thing than anything else, you know? By the way, this laboratory you're imagining is like some fucking dank, funky ass kitchen where they're like pulling it all together and you might die, you might not. Yeah, this isn't Cal State Berkeley, brother. Just put some palm olive in there

to give it some texture, a little slickness to it. Yeah, put some dye in it. Yeah, my dad said something like, he was like, when you were born, I was so worried that I had been doing too much acid and I was going to like, you were going to come out fucked up. And I was like, oh, okay.

And you did. Yeah, you did, dude. I'm going to give him to you, just for fun. That's what's going on. And you did, dude. I think he's on to something. Burning others feels good. Bro, he made me a cake for my birthday this year,

like right before I came up to Toronto. The cause of diarrhea. And it says, happy birthday from your aruguloids. And it's a fucking like cool ass confetti cake and he put arugula on the outside of it and he put it on the icing and shit. And I was like, wow, you put arugula on the cake. That's really cool.

And my mom's like, yeah, I had to talk him out of like, actually baking the arugula into the cake. And I was like, really? And my dad's like, I wanted to do it. That's a great idea. It would have been fantastic. The cause of diarrhea.

The cause of diarrhea. Yeah, exactly. That is really sweet of him. Big shout out. I forget your birthday is days away. Yeah, your birthday is coming up in just a few minuties. Yeah, like four days.

What are we going to do, bro? You're like, should we? Paintball. Yeah. Oh, dude, I'll have to do it when I come back because I am currently in Toronto in an apartment quarantining by myself. How long are you up there for?

I'm up here for about three months. Come back in April. That's not too bad. I have to quarantine for fucking, this is day two. Canada makes you quarantine for 14 days. Yeah, that's rough. With like arm guards out there, no?

No arm guards, but there's a hefty fine if you get caught. So like, I think the personal fine is $1,000 or whatever, but the company's fine is a million. But isn't that worth the rush? That's worth the rush if running around out there. The company's fine is a million dollars. Yeah, so you don't want to be that guy

that like fully just fucks the production up because you had to go get a cheeseburger somewhere. You know what I mean? So you're not going to send it? I'm still going to send it. I'm not going to send it. I'm going to ask somebody to send it to me via Instacart, bro. Come on, dude.

Yeah, that's a lot. I'm going to Charleston here in about a month now, and I don't think they make you do shit. Like, I've been talking to people that are like, it's fully open. You can do whatever the fuck you want. You got to kiss this dog. Just don't catch COVID, basically.

But I'm going to be out there for six months shooting the Righteous Gemstones. Oh, my God. Oh, boy. I know. I want to come visit. I don't know how you guys are doing out there, but we're like taking tons of breaks.

Like every like two weeks, they have like a week off built in. Oh, well, I mean, it's smart, especially if there's no real regulations of people coming in because you will get postponed. Because the new rules of the film industry is like, you will. But that's the dumbest thing ever. You're going to give everyone a week to go fuck around

and like be social. That's stupid. You're going to have things. You're going to get somebody's going to get it, right? So you might as well not have those breaks because you're going to have those breaks at some point anyway. Oh, I think all of this shit is insane.

We should be shooting in a bubble. Just know that for sure, we're going to try to get everything done in however long it three, three or four months. However long it'll actually take us to shoot 10 episodes. It'll take us four months. But just know that there will be at least a month of delays because someone's going to get COVID.

For sure. That's what I'm not looking at. They've already delayed production for two weeks. So I came out here two weeks later and I'm like, I can't really do the whole postpone. So we got to be fucking good. Yeah. You're 14 days in the box.

Personally, I have set a new personal low. I just dumped a motherfucking 3,000 piece puzzle over at my house. So what are you doing to kill the time? Whoa. Yeah, it's bad. Damn, 3,000 piece puzzle. That's amazing. You know, and if I could just take a little time

to talk to our listeners about jigsaw puzzles, I know it's a hot topic out there. God dang, this is going to hit a lot of people over the head. Hit them with it, Blake. I'm a big puzzler. Give me a hell yeah. Hell yeah. I've done about 12,000 piece puzzles in the quarantine,

but this is my first time ever dumping out a 3,000 piece puzzle. That's amazing. How vibrant are the colors? Are they vibrant enough? Are they vibrant, bro? Well, what sucks about a 3,000 piece puzzle is if you really don't like the image, it's basically torture.

So right now, I don't even have a kitchen because there's just puzzle pieces everywhere. It's bad. That's fantastic. It's terrible. That's a lot of patience. How long does it take you to do that? I mean.

The thousand. Just go on the thousand. The thousand? That'll take me about two to three weeks, probably. Damn, bro. Didn't you grow up kind of having puzzles out around Christmas time? I remember coming over to your mom and stepdad's house and there was a puzzle out.

I remember being like, these are puzzle people. Yes, yes. They're figuring the puzzles. I did grow up in a puzzling family, which also brought me to ask you guys a question. What up? Did you grow up on, and this might be some oaky stuff, did you guys ever grow up with puzzles glued together

as a piece of art in your house? No, absolutely not. I mean, my mom has like hilariously, you know, not shots fired against her, but like very Midwestern style of art that she thinks is awesome. What does that mean to people? That means she likes like wooden things

that have words on them that is inspiring. Even from way back? Or like, I know she, I know the whole crib is decked out now, but like. Well, now it's like that. It used to be just like kind of watercolors of like a river or something. And it just, it looks, it was like,

oh, obviously this was sold at like a TJ Maxx. Right. And that she was like, I gotta get that frame. Like did you have, did you guys ever have, like did you know what precious moments were? They were like those little like dolls with the eyes. Oh, little figurines. Yeah.

And they'd be like with their little sister with a teddy bear and stuff. Yeah. Precious moments. My mom had tons of them. I had one of those in my workaholics' office that I had, I got from my grandma's like garage and put up in the workaholics' office.

I remember that. I remember that, Derz. Just precious moments for days. We had like Viking ships and stuff around the house. I shit you not. It was all just like Norwegian long boats. I love just the Nordic theme. You just had cool death metal shit all over the place?

No, just the boats, just like paintings of boats and ships and Vikings. You know what? It starts with boats. It ends with burning churches. Yeah. I wonder like what our weird shit will be. Because you know, I mean, I look at like my grandmother

and like her, her decorations, she got in, she like loved birds. So like as soon as you are old and like people are like, well, we have to get something for grandma, for her house, because she loves birds. And she loves birds. Then you're like, well, she loves cardinals. So her whole fucking house was just,

it was a fucking atrium in there. There were so many cardinal. It's so true. And then she like got into painting, but specifically on porcelain plates that she would paint. And at first she wasn't that good at painting. So you saw the progression of her like shitty bird paintings. And then like she got pretty decent.

We're like, actually, this one does look like a bird. That's cool. You can hang that one up. Yeah. But then they're all hanging around the house. And then you're just like, it didn't even dawn on me until much later that it's such an insane thing to just have hundreds of pieces of bird art

in your pretty reasonably small home just decked out. That's a trip. It's a trip. My nana had fucking spoons on wooden cutout things that were just like spoons were all over the living room. And it's like, why are there spoons everywhere? She was a heroin addict. It's like she's cooking.

She's free-basing dog. My mom had hot knives on the wall, bro. I mean, a lot of people, you just pick things up from your travels. Like I think my parents had some fucking sick hunting moon that they went on way before they had kids and shit. So they had like, I think they went to Russia. My mom was a stewardess.

So she had unlimited miles. And they just fucking walked to the earth. Oh, that's awesome. I mean, there's only a few things you can collect. They see their spoons, shot glasses, magnets. It's whatever's in the airport. My mom did shot glasses. My mom had magnets.

My mom did shot glasses as well. We had a fuck ton of those. Sometimes you have them all. My dad had acid. My mom had shot glasses. I came out fine. Bro, yeah. My dad was hella worried.

He's like, I just did fucking 300 tabs of acid over the last couple of years. Whoa, whoa. Yeah. I'm here. I'm good. Now my mom is big into like wooden signs that say shit, specifically about like the,

she just moved to a lake a few years ago. And it has so many things that just say like lake life. And yeah, she's like hobby lobbied out. It's absurd. And I've tried to talk to her and I'm like, this is a lot. And she's like, well, no, there's hardly any pieces. Was she like, it's a bit, you fucking idiot. It's a bit, dude.

It's funny, dude. You fucking idiot. I thought you're into comedy. It's hilarious. What is that? Is that like an Amazon addiction that she's just like constantly looking for new fucking accoutrements? No, no, no.

It's she's not buying a lot of this stuff. Where's it coming from? Yeah. I think it's she like had one or two things. And then she tells people like, I like having wooden signs. And then people are like, Penny likes wooden signs. Penny likes wooden signs. So when they come and stay, they bring one.

And then she's just gifted so many signs. And I'm like, you don't need to put all of them up. It's an insane amount. Because there's, I mean, it's in my Instagram story, like a highlight because I went around and I'm like, mom, this is a lot of words all over your house. And she's like, no, there's just a few. And I'm like, I bet there's 60.

And she's like, no. And I went around, there's like 50 or 60 things that just say shit all over. Just keep you entertained as you walk through the crib. But I'm like, wonder what my shit, like our shit is going to be. You know, Blake is going to have the wackiest fucking house of all time when he's. He already does.

I don't know why we're saying what it's going to be. Like we all have homes that aren't bare walls. Like Kyle has a ton of paintings that his wife did. Blake has a fucking like Peewee's Playhouse. Yeah. What is yours? Didn't like your wife go like wild on lizards or some shit? Wild on. Great show.

There was like lizard art all over. Oh yeah, she did. We had a whole bunch of like a bunch of lizard art. Yeah. And put it in our room that was like the lizard room. And it was insane. It got to the level that we're talking about. And I remember I was like, I didn't really have the heart

to I was like, this is your art room. You do whatever you'd like in here. That's fine. And then you guys came over and you guys roasted the room and then like. Not yeah. I remember walking in and being like, holy shit, there's a lot of lizards in here.

And you're like, I remember you get it self conscious. Like, yeah, yeah, there is a lot, a whole lot of lizards. It's cool. Lizards are actually cool. No, it was so perfect because it was one of those moments where I was like, all of a sudden I had a new fucking angle where I'm like, you know, the guys came over and they were like, don't throw us on the boat.

They were like, wow, this is a lot of lizards. And I played it nice. It's a big room. It was a main room in the house. I think was the the shock. It was tight. We had like all these weird, like 3D bumblebees and shit all over the place too.

It was like, but it wasn't great art. It was like outdoor art. It was just like, yeah. You had some cool ass shit, like some cool, like native beaded art that was like, whoa, this is actually a super dope piece. And then it would be right next to that. Yeah, that like you got it from Marshall's on the discount rack.

And it was like, exactly. Well, yeah. Well, that's the thing is once you start to go down like, I like bumblebees and you have like one piece of like cool bumblebee art or some shit. And then people and then all of a sudden you're like, well, I'm the bumblebee guy and then you need a fucking 85 bumblebees in an eight by 13 room, you know what I mean?

And then and then that's what it looks insane. If you like just have one or two bumblebees and you're like, oh, that's cool. And then you do other shit, then it's fine. It's when you go way too hard on one specific thing. Yeah. And that room was a product of Amazon. That's why I asked because she was just like, boom,

let me get that. Boom, let me get that. Right. I think our duty as a podcast to all our 55 plus listeners out there, just be careful what animal you identify with because your grandchildren. Also not 55, you know, they're in their thirties. It can happen early. Oh, us.

Yeah, be careful. If you're like, I love giraffes because next thing you know, they're going to be some giraffes in the crib. For real. You're all raft out. You're going to be raft out. Dude, my aunt loves fucking Tweety Bird, man. The whole house is filled with Tweety Bird.

Yeah, that's too much. I love Tweety Bird. That's crazy. Like unreal amounts of Tweety Bird, everything. What is to love about Tweety Bird? I don't know. She's loved Tweety Bird like since I could remember, since I was born, since the 80s, since 84.

Yeah. Is that the worst Looney Tunes character, Tweety Bird? What's wrong with Tweety Bird, you think? I'm trying to remember what Tweety Bird's vibe is. Tweety Bird, right? Is it a girl? Is Tweety like I taught I taught a putty tat? Isn't Tweety that?

Yeah, I taught I taught a putty tat, yeah. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University, and I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling

unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities. Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident, or can we create new senses for humans? Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet? So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception, and your reality.

Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret.

I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh, my God, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this.

He's going to come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible. I will admit the others when you catch me, if you can.

Signed freeway fan. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that day was a very, very long time. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car, it's thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother. That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people.

I thought that they would catch him. I thought it was just a matter of time. Is it possible that the killer is still alive? Listen to freeway phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. First of all, all birds kind of suck. Whoa, chill, bro. Yeah, calm.

American Eagles are so tight. The crane. No, dude. Owls fucking rock. No, dude. American Eagles are not tight. Blamingos are super dope. Owls are so sick. Owls are so not sick at all. First of all, fuck you.

Hey, fuck you. You are wrong. Yo, you're about to get old. You better chill. They can they can hear you. No, fuck you, dude. Hey, Adam, fuck you. I beat you to it.

I beat I just beat you to it though. You asshole. No, I already said it. Fuck you. Owls rock. When's the last time you saw a fucking owl? Are you prick? A few, a few years ago.

I moved when I moved into my house. A few years ago. You're such a fucking dumbass. There was a owl that lived in the tree that like refused to let me move in. He was like a total fucking dick. He'd swoop down. Yeah, that's right.

They're super territorial. You'd come out on the balcony. He'd he'd he'd hood the shit out of me, scared me to death. Fucking terrifying. Oh, well, you're a weakling. Yeah, they're scary fucking terrifying. They are predators.

You're a weak ass. No, I'm not, dude. I'm strong as hell. No, you're a fucking weak ass. Hey, no. And I think you know that that is not true. I'm not a weak ass. I just can't believe this.

He's scared of birds. I'm not scared. I just don't like them. Oh, you just said it. Scared the shit out of you. And that's why you didn't like it, bro. Well, if you're standing on a balcony and all of a sudden something's like, that will scare the shit out of you, dude.

OK, so you're a weak ass. And that's why you don't like owls. I wouldn't stop my stride. I'd go owl and I would keep walking. I just think you're dismissing the wisdom of one of the most majestic birds on planet Earth. What other birds are amazing, right? What other birds are amazing?

Other birds. A hawk, a red tail hawk is fucking cool. Hawks. Oh, a peacock. Hummingbirds. Hummingbirds. I mean, they're cool when they're flying, but I'm saying. Woodpeckers.

They make that noise. Woodpeckers. They have a cartoon. Woodpeckers are the worst. Like my parents' house, there was a woodpecker right outside. It was the absolute worst thing because they started at like 4.30 in the morning, just pecking the fucking wood, dude.

I'm pissed now. You should be up making breakfast with somebody. And I'm just saying, I'm pissed now. Fuck birds. And that's a t-shirt. Print it. Fuck birds. Dude, I'm pissed now.

Fuck you. Dude, you need to watch some documentaries on owls and shit because they got some really cool attributes. Hey, I don't dislike animals. I like other animals. I get that. I'm talking owls specifically. They were to my owls.

I mean, have you watched the opening credit sequence of The Labyrinth any time and recently and not felt something? When that owl is. Thank you. Will you please be quiet? Thank you. Hey, guys, I think I know my takebacks already for this episode.

Go for it. No, I'm going to save it. But what? I do say fuck birds. Owls are mean animals. They're not cool. They're not like. Owls protect you from all of the fucking rats that are trying

to get into your house. Do you know that? You know they swoop down and do something for you? You know they're serving you because they respect you? Hey, guess what? Don't hate rats. Don't hate them. Are you having a laugh?

Oh, you're a rat guy? No, I'm not a rat guy. What? I dislike owls. There's evidence of you killing rats. You dislike owls more than rats? I dislike owls more than I dislike rats. Wow.

This is the most controversial episode yet. Owls versus rats. You're so dumb. Hey, I've had a pet rat before. I've had a pet rat. I would never allow an owl into my house. It wouldn't want to be in your house. You are so dumb.

Thank you, Blake. Really? Even when they pull up the feathers, you can see how jacked they are? Dude, you can't trust an owl. You cannot trust an owl. Absolutely not. That's what makes them savage.

You're going to stand by that? An owl will fuck your girl. An owl will fuck your girl. Rats? Nah, man. They'll scamper off. What the fuck? The owl said, owl will fuck your girl.

Owl? Owl will fuck your girl. That's tight. You're going opposite. Like, a fucking rat is somebody who is something that would fuck your girl. Dude, the owl will give you wisdom. There's a joke there.

No, a rat will tell on you. A rat will be a bitch and tell on you. An owl will fuck your girl. No, an owl, you, dude, no. If you, an owl doesn't trick, because if you go up to owl and you're like, hey, man, was there somebody here? He's just like, who? And you're like, okay, I see what you're doing here.

Oh yeah, he pleads the fifth. Was my girl with somebody or not? Who? Owl fuck your girl. Owl fuck your girl. Hashtag. Don't leave me alone with her because I will fuck your girl. Hey, did you fuck my girl?

Who? Did you fuck my girl? Who? Owl. Did you? Owl. Knock knock, who's there? Owl, owl, owl, fuck your girl.

Owl, fuck your girl. Who? And also, I'll say, I know eagles are beautiful, majestic creatures. And I also enjoy, when I see an American bald eagle in a tree, I'm like, whoa, that's pretty legit. But those guys are a fucking eagle maniacs. Well.

Eagle maniacs. Eagle maniacs. You've got it a little twisted because you're, I think you're thinking of like the majestic ones in the mountaintops, but there's bald eagles that kick it in the swamps of Florida that are hella down to earth. Right, they're like the people for Korea.

They're like just rhyming dudes. They just eat pythons. There's nothing majestic. Okay. Do you like snakes more than birds? No, I don't like snakes either, I'm, yeah. Do you like snakes more than rats? Or rats more than snakes?

What's cool is they all eat each other, all three of these things. Yeah, exactly. We got a cool cycle happening here. Nothing eats the eagle. Well, you know what? I feel like if, it depends on like, I'm thinking specifically like in my home,

like if a rat is in my home, I'm like, all right, I know how to like get rid of that. Like snakes, I wouldn't like that at all. And really I would like that less than rats. But that's how you get rid of the rats is you get a snake. And then you get that owl when you're done with the snake. Yeah. And then that owl gets your girl and she's done with you.

Dude, literally two nights ago, I have like an ice machine on my deck that I always go out and get ice. And I was going to get ice and I look out and this giant fucking possum, one of the biggest possums I've ever seen. So scary. Was so scary, they're hideously ugly.

And he was standing up on his hind legs, holding on to the, of my outside little refrigerator, yanking on the door, trying to open it. That's tight. I thought you were about to be like, holding on to Chloe's leg. You just have all these animals trying to fuck Chloe. Possum, fuck your girl.

Possum, fuck your girl. It's like Dr. Doolittle, but what are you guys doing? Instead of talking, they're all just fucking close. I'm sorry, they just love me. Possum, that is. Yeah, possums are freaky-deaky, I agree. They're a little weird. I don't know what's going on in their minds.

I yell at him, I go on the, and I'm like, hey, and he looks at me and like rolls his eyes. He's like, ugh, and then like scampered off. He was like annoyed that I'm like, he's trying to get in my refrigerator and looked like he knew how to get into it. He was holding it with two arms and like yanking on it. And I'm like, oh, this motherfucker goes backyard to backyard

in my neighborhood, trying outside refrigerators. Like this is how he gets fed. For sure. Definitely a raccoon could pull that door open. They have thumbs, right? Like for sure. Yeah, they have thumbs. They're like, yeah, they got like little human hands, man.

Oh yeah. I love that. I love that. Let me get some of those little raccoon hands on my back just rubbing. You're talking to Kyle, the five AM hiker over here. So you know, he knows. I want to wrap one of those possum tails around me.

Yeah, he's liking these owls a little too much. Raccoons are off the charts. I don't, no, dude, fuck off, you're such a piece of shit for like dismissing the wisdom of the birds of the sky. Well, you keep saying the wisdom of the owl, but this is obviously like a pass down myth from like, like there's no way to qualify the wisdom of an owl. That's just-

The majesty of it, the meaning of the animal, what it means to the world. The meaning of the animal. Have you looked into owls' eyes? Me, yes. You're talking totem poles. Yeah, what it can represent. I'm just, I'm just like, I don't like birds, man.

They're not trustworthy. Anyone that has birds in their house, it's a weird thing to just have a ton of birds. I agree. They smell, they're in cages, they're making way too much noise. Like it's a, birds fucking kinda suck. Like if you're good.

And also for you, when you walk into that house, you're terrified. I'm terrified every time. I mean, honestly, if I walked in and there was an owl there, just hoeing at me aggressively, I would not like that, admittedly. I don't like caged birds. I don't think that feels right.

Yeah, I mean, I have one. I have one. This is why it's hitting you a little hard. What if it's a chicken? If it's a chicken in the coop, we can roll with that. Well, chicken, at least you're like, they cockle-doodle-do you in the morning. No, that's a rooster.

Oh, okay. Well then, yeah, fuck chickens. I like roosters. But chickens are delicious. They make eggs. Yeah, no, they're, well, they're spitting out some eggs. So you at least get a like, you know, use something. Eggs don't come out of their mouths.

I know, they're spitting them out of their butts, right? You think it's like a Yoshi situation? Wait, that is a good question. Do eggs, do eggs come out of chickens ass or is there like another butthole? No, an egg is a period, just so you know. Okay, but girls don't have periods out of their butthole. Wait, do they?

How often do they, is it only once a month or how often do they give an egg every day? Ew. So they have a period every day? Yeah, well, it's like a non-active period. It's in an egg. Hey, and feel free to text us the truth about this shit that we don't know about.

No, no, I'm pretty positive that an egg is a period that is not being fertilized. That's tight. You sound like one of those astronauts that gave the female astronauts 50,000 tampons, who's like, is this enough? Are we good? This might be enough.

But Kyle, you didn't answer my question, dude, they have two buttholes. Do they have an egg butthole and a... I don't know how many holes they have, sorry. I don't know that. Vagina. It's a vagina. Oh, the egg is coming out of their vagina, dude.

Yeah, that's the period. They're not shitting out eggs. Where is a vagina located on a chicken? Bend over, I'll show you. Did I do that? What do you mean, where is it located? It's basically in the same spot as you probably think it is. Kind of the same spot that you would think.

Yeah, if you maybe drop some acid to get in there, you have super vibrant buttholes looking at you, and then some. I don't know, there has to be animals that have dicks and vaginas in really weird spots, right? Oh, for sure. You mean like Star Trek, where he kicks the dude in the knee

and it turned out to be his nuts? That's like when you kick Adam with his lap hog. I don't remember that, but I like that. That was a classic, what was that? That was the famous Star Trek movie, what's it called, Rathakon, where he's like fighting the giant dude and he kicks him in the knee and he goes down hard

and he's like, what the fuck? He's like, that's where his testicles are. I love that. It's on the chain. Did we write through Star Trek? What happened? I think we should. Yeah, I want to go check out some Star Trek now.

That just got me in. Good, heroes and icons. That was one of my favorite bits on set when we would like, hey, have a good scene and then we'd tap each other on the knee and then that person goes, ah, the middle of my dick, ah. You just hit the middle of my dick. It's got the middle of my dick, ow, ow.

Because the end of it's way down there. Bully. I had fun on that show too. Yeah, that show was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed that show, guys. That was a long time ago. You know we're done shooting the show? I don't know, let's talk about something with Khloé

and I was like, yeah, like two years ago when we started and she was like, it's more than two years ago. And I'm like, yeah, how long has it been? It's been four years now. Four years since we've been done with the show. Yeah. What was it like, August of 2016 or something?

I think it was. Something like that or October, November, so at the end of. Yeah, it was like October or November. Yeah, maybe the beginning of November. It was harvest season because y'all were smoking my weed on the roof, real weed. Yeah, hello.

It was harvest, baby. I don't wanna talk about it. That shit was so sick. You guys fucking smoked my first crop of weed on the roof in the last shot. I was mad high for that last scene of workaholics. Oh yeah, that was hilarious. No, I was higher.

I was higher. Isn't that? And I cried. Can I get my chaya? Was that, did you say that? Is that in the show where like, this is real weed? No, this is real weed. Something like that.

That was Blake saying that. Blake was going, and this is real weed. And I'm like, I know. We're acting and he's like, it's real weed. I'm like, I know. Obviously it's real weed. We're the characters. Rolling, huge crane shots.

So good, so good. Perfect ending, dude. Yeah, for sure it's real. Like how it always has been for every scene of the show. Oh man, this is real. So I'm glad we did that. I'm glad. Well, people ask us all the time like,

you guys must have been high the whole time. It's like, I could count on like one hand the amount of times we were actually high shooting a scene. Because people don't realize that it takes 12 straight hours to shoot just a few minutes. Four minutes. Yeah, for like four or five minutes of the show. So if you were to smoke at the beginning,

if you were smoking all day throughout the day as many joints as we smoke on the show, you wouldn't be able to finish the day. You would just be like, and you wouldn't be able to improvise. Like I'm a dog shit improviser when I'm high. I'm just like, yeah, man, cool. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Wait. What was it? What was it? I just had it. What was it? What was it? I just had it. Did you say it?

Who said that? Who did say that? Did we say that already? Fuck owls. Can I say it? Fuck owls. I'll fuck your girl. Oh, God.

I will fuck your girl. Does anyone have any takebacks, apologies, or compliments? I remembered it. Nice. Well, compliment on remembering. Well, yeah, I'd like to take back my history with the American-Mexico border and just plug in the word allegedly

in there trying to sneak shit in. Sure. Because I do not know what the rules are. I don't know what that is, and I don't need nobody coming for me. Thank you. Yeah, I can 100% bet that they're not going to come after you for trying

to get 12 pain pills across the border. Right. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. Allegedly. All allegedly. I just forgot to say allegedly. And you have to say no.

I allegedly. They feel bad anyway. They're like, he was an acid baby. Just he's had a tough life. He probably needed the pills. His pecker is too hard. He needs something to soften his pecker. Vibroing at a high level.

This motherfucker says soften. Like it's often or often. I would like to compliment Adam and Chloe on their possible wedding location. I'm excited. I'm trying to get some shrimp tacos. Let's go, baby. We're all going to be some shrimpy takis.

I'm a shrimpy takis. Take-backs? Well, I take back saying fuck out. Yeah, good. Only because owls are fine. I don't love birds. But they're just how mad it made Kyle. I'm like, I want us to be in a good place

in our relationship. So I'm like, OK, hey, if he cares this much about owls, I'm going to step back my stance on saying fuck owls. Sure. Yeah, sure. Owls are fine. If Kyle loves owls, I don't want to be the guy saying fuck owls. So I take that back.

Do you want to take this chance to just real quick off the top of your head, favorite bird? Favorite bird? Well, I would have to go with my grandmother's favorite, and that's cardinals. Big shout out to Arvella, RIP. I know you're up there with an atrium of cardinals in heaven.

Thank you, dude. We're good. Yeah, cardinals are fucking. When you see a cardinal, you turn into a different person. You're like, that's a cardinal. It's a cardinal. I know. Yeah, I like all the birds that it's like even eagles

that you know they're bitches. You know they just want to claw your fucking eyes out. Like cardinals, I'm like, that bird's not going to claw my eyes out. Right, right. Beautiful. But a red-winged blackbird will fucking come for you. They will gun you down. Same with a fucking, same with a bluejay.

Bluejay will fuck you up. What? A bluejay will fuck you up. Yeah, bluejays are bullies, man. Are they? Yeah. You know what I've never seen that I want to see live? An Oreo.

Just want to put that out there. Oh, it's hard, dude. Yeah. I'd love to see that. My aunt does this thing where she takes pictures and she puts it on the internet and she calls it beak of the week. Whoa.

This is the Tweety Bird ant? No, this is another ant. This is another ant that just takes fantastic photography of. That's another old person thing of just being like a bird watcher. It's so cool. I could see, even though I don't fuck with birds, I could see getting into something like that where you just like, you got your camera, you're out there,

and you're like getting your exercise. But it's also double in as another thing, so you're not just exercising. I could see. Be honest, you're smoking weed. It gets crazy. Yes. I'm just looking for ways to get out of the house

so I can smoke weed for when I have kids and you can't just be smoking weed right in front of them. I'm going to be like, yeah, Dad's got to take a walk to look at birds. And they're going to be like, we heard that podcast about how much you love smoking weed and doing mushrooms. You're just doing that, right? And I'll be like, fucking get out of my house.

Birdwatch it down. I don't think I'm ever going to birdwatch. I don't see that for you anymore. You don't have to. You don't have to, brother. You have the look. I feel like you look like a guy who would be really good at it. Ders looks the most granoli, I feel like.

Well, of course I'd be great at it, Kyle, obviously. Yeah, you was crushed, dude. I feel like this could be the vacation that we started with. We could go do that. When I was in South Africa on my honeymoon, we went on safari and there were these birdwatchers that were in the ride with us. And they were fucking insane.

Just probably so annoying, right? Just being like, oh my god. Jumping out the window, trying to get the shot. And they were telling stories about shit I don't care about. They're like, every 30 years, you got to go to here because there's one time where they come and we went and we saw them. And I'm like, bro, nobody cares. Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, but what's the difference between somebody like that and just some fucking people going and playing Pokemon Go? Nothing, except for the fact that birdwatching sucks and Pokemon Go is probably off the chain. I'm sorry. No. Yeah, also fuck Pokemon Go, for sure. But if I'm going to be deep in finding animals,

I want an animal, thank you, Kyle. I want an animal that I'm like, oh, for sure, one roll. I'm like, I'd be like Grizzly Man, you know? I want to go find an animal that could rip my face off. I'd rather do that because that would be at least exciting and exciting thing. When you're looking at birds, you're like, OK, yeah, there it is. But that's the whole thing is that you get the book

with the checklist and then when you meet other birdwatchers, all they do is go, but did you see this? Yes, I saw that, but did you see this? Yes, I saw that, and they go back and forth. I mean, yes, but these are also all code words for fucking positions. No, is that right? This is code.

I think that's probably, I feel like birdwatchers also, it's kind of a underground, swinger organization. That checks out. They're like, what's up with your cockatoo, bro? Oh, I guess it's not easy to decipher. It's not that underground. Let me suck your blue bird. I will suck your wife.

Hey, can I lick your asshole cockatoo? I will fuck your wife while you suck my cockatoo. It all just ends in cockatoo. What's up with your cockatoo, bro? Can I lick your dickhole cockatoo? Show up your seagull up, my ass. Cockatoo. All right, any more takebacks, compliments,

or whatever, put down. I'm done. Ultimate slams. Ultimate slams. Kyle, you want to do some jump rope to send us out? I see it hanging in the background. Oh, no. Well, check it, dude.

I got jump rope, and I got a motherfucking rower. Oh, dude. What is that? What kind of rower is that? That's a concept, too. Is that a concept, too? It's not a concept, too. It's just a stamina on it.

Yeah, and that's important to have. Good. Let's trade stats, because I've been rowing like a motherfucker. Rowed to 10K the other day, 35 minutes. Why don't you ride each other? Hey, how about we do this off the podcast, and you can just fuck each other?

Bring it on. Jesus. I want challenges coming from people out there. 10K, what is that? What is that? 10,000 meters? That's a real row. Yeah, that's fuck.

I don't like rowing that much, but I mean, it's an awesome workout. And I feel like taller guys are better at it, so I bet you'd be pretty good at it. Yeah, and the way my clit is above my, it just helps. It rubs you just right. Let's do that. This is important.

We can go birding, and we could go rowing. Let's do it. God, this is important, guys. Oh, this was important. This was important. And I can't wait for everyone to tune back in next week to see how far Kyle and Anders rowed. Next week on This Is Important.

Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, DC. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom.
