You know what they say, if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.

And I feel like, well, I haven't got cast and a lot of stuff lately, so I haven't really been working, working. Yeah, you mostly chilling, yeah. This is it. a lot of stuff lately, so I haven't really been working, working. Yeah, you can all say chilling, yeah. This is it. A lot of chilling for you, for years. Yeah, a couple years of chilling. This is the way.

Like, I don't know which, I don't know the name of him, but you look like one, like when you were just, whatever face you were making, you looked like one of the where the wild things they are monsters. Oh, I wasn't gonna say that. I'm a dude. Okay.

I was gonna say you look more like like you're looking more and more like a Professional wrestler and I know that's what you are going for. No, it's not I'm going WW Where the wild I don't know. Okay Maybe a no We're flushing it out and by, I mean me by myself alone searching. I'm going more for UFC fighter, but I get that you went WWE. Right. Who's the guy you want to look like? Khabibi. I'm going for Khabibi.

By the way, those men are all atrocious looking. And I'm sorry. I mean, you know, I know America and the world loves UFC. Naked grandma! And I like it. I like it too. I just look from the neck down. Those guys all look like they've been punched in the face 1000 times, which makes you all look, they all look the same. Right. They have the same face. I think you've covered this. And then

they, I don't think so. They're grotesquely ugly. Okay. You, we've covered this. So that's, that's, that's what you want to go for? You said that they all get hit in the face in the same spots so they get the Cro-Magnum brow and things. Oh, yes, you get the hardened brow. I don't have that though. Yes, maybe. We've done a lot of these podcasts. I might have repeated myself once or twice.

I never have. No, not two. Never will. Not that much. Not that much, dude. You're a fucking disaster, my guy. But that's what you want to look like? But I do like when you say it as if you've never said it before.

Dude, I don't remember. You're like, you know what I think, actually? Well, that's the sign of a good actor as well, because you do take after take after take. You know, I think I'm just dumb enough to be a really good actor. Okay. Yes. I like this.

You know, like, a really good actor where they could just lose themselves. You said this before. I think you have. They could lose themselves in the role because they kind of forgot who they were for a minute. I think I don't do that. I'd yet to prove that, and I might not ever, but I know I could.

Yeah, but that's kind of the dance. That's the dance you're playing with the audience. And that's what keeps me coming back. Let's call this episode, have we talked about this before? But Adam, what role do you think, do you truly think would win you an Oscar? Do you got something in your fucking back pocket that you're like, this, if the world would let me

do this character, I got the gold. I'm a gay, I'm gay and also trans, and also I have Down syndrome. I'm not gay, I'm gay and also trans and also I have Down syndrome. I'm not gay no more! Okay. And it's based on a true story from someone. Right, there's gotta be someone. And if I could pull that off.

I'm with you, I love it, but are you still white? Yeah, I know what you're saying. Rain the trophies upon me. Because if you're still white, I'm not watching. No, no, no, I'm still white. You're albino. But it's a really fancy. It's such a fancy director.

It's such a fancy director that everyone goes, OK, OK, maybe we give him the benefit of the doubt. Do you know any fancy directors? Yeah, your ghost, something or other. Okey dokie. Is he fancy? Yorgos something. I think he's a UFC fighter.

Yeah, he might be. Those are still kind of like a little wild. I'm thinking of like the British posh directors. Who are they? Whoever did like the King speech. Oh shit. No, someone asked me a little while ago, like who would be, who's your top five directors that you want to work with?

And dude, I could not think of it. I couldn't think of a director. I was like, Well Spielberg for sure. Daniel Stern. George Lucas. Zucker Brothers. Russo Brothers. Wachowski Brothers. Russo, all the brothers, all the brothers.

Uh huh, yep. It's the Wachowski Brothers, right? Well, you see more. They're no longer no longer brothers Maybe I do their life story at the life. Yeah, there we go. You play both of them, too Yeah, oh, I know and by the way, we've covered this correct me if I'm wrong. They've both transitioned, right? Yes Yes, we have that shit's important and we've covered this we've covered this but can you imagine transitioning and then having your brother be like I'm gonna do it too yeah and you're like he's such a fucking follower dude oh my god yeah I'm going back I'm doing my I'm doing my own thing but you can't go back you did that you did the final snip and

swipe no they got money there They kept it on ice. That's right. They cryogenically froze their swings. So that's how it works. I don't know if the biomechanically, I think they just put it on ice. Huh, yeah. Encino piece.

It's science. That's the movie. Wow, good stuff, guys. Great start so far. This is why I love my job. You never were. Can you grade us and tell us why? I'm just thinking we're coming out.

We're coming on fire, as I love to do. And my... So no grades, Adam. No grades. I love coming on fire. I refuse to grade. I'm not a big grader. I don't like grading.

I think that that's an old school... Yeah, this guy doesn't even grade shoes. You know what it is why you're... Why you look so absolutely insane right now, Blake? And... Burn! You know what it is why you're why you look so absolutely insane right now Blake and It's because you have What appears to be like you've tried to grow a beard and it's really bad-looking and that's coming from someone who also Grows bad beards, so I know it when I see it

I thought your beard was okay, but your mustache was questionable Yeah, that that is true the beard was fine, the mustache, because that beard is really bad, my dude. Is it really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought I was fucking slaying this beard. Like I keep taking selfies of myself. You gotta stop hanging out with Ateeba,

who's always like, he's dapping people up, he's making you feel good, but dude. I feel like that is correct. Blake hangs out with Ateeba, and Ateeba's maybe the most positive. So a good friend, an encouraging person, someone who supports me. Someone who doesn't tear me down at every turn.

Right, it's how people land skateboarding tricks. They have to have that. Yes, you have to have unearned confidence. Hold up. It's kind of how everybody does everything in life. If you want to excel, you need people in your corner who actually uplift you. The world will crush you.

I completely disagree. I was raised by everyone who said you couldn't do anything. Yeah, and we could tell that about you. Burn! And I persevered. Yeah. You did it. You're evil.

Dude, I'm the king. Blake, I'm the king of unearned confidence, without a doubt. Without a doubt. But you also need someone in your corner to tell you, Hey bud, Throw in the towel. Hey bud, maybe this isn't it. Maybe the shaved mustache, really patchy, bad, scrappy,

looking like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo looking motherfucker isn't the moo. Shut the fuck up! Huh. So you guys think I look bad. You think I look bad. Atrocious. No. I think you look like one of the Where the Wild Things Are monsters.

Great book. We'll find a comp. But tell me about the care here. So you're letting it grow underneath the chin, but you are shaving your mustache. Yeah. Yeah, I took the mustache down. And are you shaving anywhere else? Like, are you, is this groomed?

No. This is groomed. But where? Wait. No, no, no, no. Sorry. Yeah. By groomed.

You don't know what that word means? Obviously. That is a new, that's a new concept? That's a new concept in my life? Groomed in... You thought it was just a green room. My bad. I thought you were talking about the groom. The groom.

Here, you get out. I guess. No, I thought by groom you meant shave my mustache. And I did do that. And you did notice that. So this is as groomed as your boy gets. Also... But are you doing anything under like here? Like bottom lip? Like your flavor saver?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I take the stinger down. I take the stinger down. Stinger. Well, why? Why? Because that's part... when you grow a beard, it has to be full all the way through. And by the way, explain yourself. There should be a mustache attached. I love your leech a mustache attached we're letting Adam off the leash yeah I love my job man I don't know well by the way cuz I think I mean I think Blake is a very handsome gentleman you've said that you besides his face the rest of it beautiful no I beautiful. No, I think Blake is a very good looking gentleman. This beard isn't doing any favors. Really? It's much like you told me, you told me that my

mustache wasn't doing me any favors because under most lights it looked like I had a Hitler mustache. Because the rest of the hairs came in weirdly blonde. Yes. During the tour, you had a weird ass wispy mustache and like bad chops, and it was bad. It was bad. It was the worst I've seen you. It's the worst you've ever looked. Well, also, I was obese during that time. Yeah. It was a whole bit, Blake. It was a whole life bit I was obese during that time. Yeah. It was a whole bit, Blake. It was a whole bit, a whole, it was a life bit I was doing.

Your boobs are huge. Where I was morbidly obese and... Thought he was gonna die. Thought, literally thought I was dying and from... Got a grossy chops before our keel over. I liked it. That was actually, even though you did look bad, that was my favorite version of you. You were very humble. You were very like

You made us like wheelchair you everywhere and stuff. It was cool, dude. I like seeing you vulnerable I like to see me fat and injured cuz then I wasn't competition to you. Okay, and like it's not all about competition, buddy Right. You keep stealing rolls from me. Ask Isaac. He keeps handing them off to you. Name one. Punk Rock, getting radical. Okay, well, I mean. I just like Adam Fortmore. Circle? Circle came to you first? No! What to... I gifted you buzz balls. I was like, I don't want to fucking want that shit. Thank you. Thank you. Bless you. What made you decide to go down this route? I know it wasn't your girlfriend.

I know she wasn't really pitching this one hard. She definitely didn't say shave the mustache, grow the beard. She could have been a motivation in a different way. Piss him off and I was like, oh yeah, check this out. Now you got an ugly boyfriend. Tell me to not be playing my music

wildly loud at 4 a.m. Now you got an ugly boyfriend. Sorry. Take me out, show me off. I haven't been, also I haven't been playing loud music since we talked about it on the pod. I've been very respectful to my neighbors because I am saving it up for the 4th of July, baby.

Come on, we're gonna let the good times roll. We've covered this, but it's my favorite holiday. We have, and you stand by that. It's never gonna not be your favorite holiday. I thought Halloween was your favorite holiday, Ders. You wish. You wish. You thought so.

You're a monster. Yeah, I thought so. No, I'm almost positive I said July Fourth because that's how I feel right now. It's just a good time. Yeah, I love the Fourth of July. I love the Fourth of July. It's hot as fuck, so you could just drink so many beers.

So many beers. It's allowed. You're not even drunk. It's so hot. You don't even know where your kids are. It doesn't matter. It's the Fourth of July. Go burn something.

They don't know what the fuck they're doing. Of course. It's true. Of course. It's true. Of course. Yeah, kids are probably fine. You're hearing fireworks. You assume everyone's okay. I love it.

You got big plans for the fourth, Blaze? I do. Well, you know, my block is pretty cool. So they do like a, I think we've covered this, but they do a little like, people make pies and you try them and say who made the best pie. And this does sound crazy. A little parade and just, you know, just. A parade on your block?

Yeah, just chumming around with neighbors. It's a full block party. They lock down the street. Is that how it goes? Full block party. I love that. The horses, not literal horses, what do they call those saw horses

to block off cars from coming in now? Yeah, well, I hope they're up today or on the holiday because it could, yeah, we need somebody to block off these streets. Blake. I'm not sure of the protocol with the sawhorses. Blake, that's what a block party is when you literally block off the streets. It's a block party. With the sawhorses.

Well you could just like park cars in those. No, no, no. You gotta have a sawhorse. I guarantee you police will show up and it'll No, no, no. You gotta have a soft horse. You can't. I guarantee you police will show up and it'll be a thing. And then there's gonna be a lot of ICE agents and they might steal a neighbor or two. Oh, look at this guy. Look at that guy's beard. I don't want that for your neighborhood. I'm just saying I don't want that for your neighborhood.

So maybe do things by the book. Maybe you should make a call. I know you're not the guy but maybe call the guy who is the guy who's in charge. Yeah I'm hoping that will all be sewed up. How full is that guy's beard? That's all I'm saying. How full and connected is that guy's beard? Probably more connected than mine. But I don't know. I don't know. I feel good about it. Okay well that's the most important. I do like that the beard is an indicator. Like, you look like someone who would say, yeah, you guys, you could just park some cars.

It is. And they go, mm, I don't know, judging by your beard, I just don't, what do you think, Mr. Goodbeard? Judging by the lack of the beard that you've grown makes me not trust you. Yeah. You know, and for everybody who's now tuning in on YouTube You're gonna see this it's really not an offensive beard It's actually well move the microphone out of the way and actually let's see it. Let's see it. Let's see it

I think it works for you. Oh, buddy. Oh Oh Buddy, I think it does exactly what you wanted it to do. What's that? Yeah frame Frame my face define my jawline. No, no, no. Your jaw, you have the largest jawline. Largest jaw. You got a Crobe Magnum jawline. You don't need... We all wish we had it. Dude, you don't need it. You're hiding it. You're hiding the jawline. It's covered. Is that what you're trying to do? Is you're trying to actually dull the jawline? Maybe at this point.

I don't know. There's not a lot of thought that goes into it. The hair's looking good though. The hair looks, it looks like a good color. Like is that summertime kicking in or what? Yeah, it's falling down. He's sitting by the pool. Also, yeah, thank you for noticing.

I kind of did like a middle part. I don't do that a lot. I'm testing that out. That's where the wild things are. Thank you, thank you. I was kind of going like 80s Metallica. This is some old school Blake is what this is. I'm kind of in my rocker era for this summer I think.

And what rocker would that be? I'm going like Cliff Burton. That's what I'm going for at all times. RIP. Yes, always, always. And now do we see the where the wild things are monster that looks like Blake? That's what I'm going for all right at all times all right yes always always And now do we see the where the wild things are monster that looks like I mean, I know exactly who you're talking about. It's got the beard and the hair parted down the middle two horns No, no, I know no no no no no no what it's literally brought up in the chat, and you could look at it Oh, sorry. I didn't have my chat on.

And it's, he has no horns, but it has a middle part. And the underbeard. And an underbeard. Friendship. Actually, that beard is much fuller, by the way. He's working on it. Ders, this is a great cult. He has bird legs. This looks exactly kind of like me. You're right.

This is what I'm going for. Great pull. I'm a visual learner. When's the last time you read this book? I mean, within the last year. Now, I love the illustrations. I don't remember as a kid really tapping in with the story. Me neither.

Me neither. Like the fact that a movie came out, I was like, yes, because visually I want to see it come to life. But then I was like, wait, what is the book? Michelle Gondry. That's a fancy... That's who I would do my movie with. There's your guy.

What's he been up to? I don't know. That's who I would do it with, Michelle Gondry. If you want me as a black trans person with Down Syndrome... Wait, now you're black? A black trans am? I was black the whole time. I was a black trans person with Down syndrome. Wait, now you're black? A black trans am? I was black the whole time. I was a black trans person with Down syndrome.

Okay, all right. Michelle Gondry, hit me up. Good luck. That will be an interesting film. I feel like you could just plug all those prompts into like an AI and it will just make that movie and it is gonna be really good. Yeah, it'll be a banger.

It's gonna be awesome. Real banger. Dang. You lucky duck. It's gonna be really good. Yeah, it'll be a banger. It's gonna be awesome. Real banger. Dang. You lucky duck. It's gonna take our jobs. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president?

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never forget.

I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies. I'm Danielle Robay and this is Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, the new podcast from Hello Sunshine and iHeart Podcasts.

Tune in on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean,

but the most unforgettable part, our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.

His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Hey, that movie though, the Where the War... I remember seeing that movie and going... That's a thumbs down from Ders. Yeah, I was hoping to get a thumbs down through the Zoom, but I guess it's all... I don't think people liked it. I don't think it was critically acclaimed. It looked dope. I think it's Spike Jonze, who usually knocks it out the park. He's a very visual director. Everything he does is pretty cool.

I thought it was going to be a wham bam. I thought it was Michelle Gondry. I thought it was Spike Jonze. It's by my trip. Oh, is it? Oh, OK. Yes, points. Thank you. And dude, Adam, I'm sorry to tell you, if Michelle Gondry, when he hears this, hears that you got it wrong, he's not doing your movie. You're off the.

That's that's why he's not going to do your movie. And now Spike Jonze is going to do it either, so I'm kinda... I really back myself into a corner. We can figure it out. Maybe Blake goes and he goes, Hey, look, I'm the guy from your movie. I can be the guy. Wasn't the voice of the main dude James Gandolfini?

Am I tripping? That's fucking cool. And again, I was like, cool on paper, and then you see the movie and you're like huh He sounds like he's from New York. Yeah, what was he doing like his Tony soprano? Yeah, I think so, but it was still like a little bit hey You're talking to my guy Are you a monster no, I'm a buffongoolee.

What the? Get outta here! I like that. That would have been a really cool movie. If Where the Wild Things Are was a movie. Get back on your boat and fucking sail across the ocean back to your mom and fucking apologize. That's your mother. Get the fuck outta here. I think my mom's trying to kill me. I'm gonna kill you.

Hey, look, I fucking went through it, okay? If you don't get the fuck out of here, you're a bofenguul. What is the... I don't even want to say it. The whole book was trying to get them not to read the book. Yeah, I love it. Get the fuck out of here. Go talk to your mother. You're a gabagul. Chad, are you screaming at me? I can't read yet. I will say I've watched it since having kids, and I guess it hits a little harder as a parent. It's different. Where you understand it but it becomes a total

fucking snooze when you get on that island. Huh. Perfect. Which is crazy. I don't remember the book and I did not see the movie so I'm really lost. I remember thinking the art for the book was off the fucking Richter scale. I also remember that. But then never read the words. What else is new? Yeah. But the visuals of the book were so cool that... Arresting. You were kind of... You were making up the story in your mind as a child, but the story on the page didn't match how cool the story in your mind you were making up was. You know what I mean? Yes. Do you follow? Do you track? Yeah, I'm tracking.

No, Blake knows two words. You see a lot of stuff in the background where you're like, wow, I'd love to explore that and all that. It takes you on a journey visually and then the words just don't match. You want me to stop talking? Yeah.

You're a stupid dumbass. Did you guys ever read any Mori- the Maurice Sendak books that were like little tiny ones and they like all slid into a box together? The hell? I don't think my mom- My mom didn't buy me books. Uh, okay.

She was like, read this Snickers wrapper! And- and I- you think I'm joking but- Hey, look at this joke on Laffy Tap! Here's a Lemonheads box. But she didn't- I- I don't remember having books Hey, look at this joke on laughing tab. Here's a lemon heads box. I don't remember having books. I don't remember them reading to me. I truly don't. She says it happened.

I do not remember it. Alrighty then. And in fact, when I would ask for books, I was told... She literally told me, well, what are you going to do with them? Bitch, spell book. And I go, well, read them. I would read them.

And she goes, you wouldn't. And then they would sit there. And then later I found out my parents were fairly poor. But there's no such thing as a library. Read some books. Yeah, that is literally what libraries are for. I know. We would go to the library.

I don't remember taking any books until I got a little older. Really? But I remember when I was young, like really young. I don't remember taking any books until I got a little older I remember like when I was young like really young. I don't remember taking we didn't have the where the wild things are I just remember getting into The bearstein bear books that was my big shit You never went to the library, it's so fun. They all smell different. It's like interesting. No, we would.

We would go to the library. But then it was always just like some old lady reading to you. And you're like, this is kind of boring, dude. But you wouldn't get books to go? I don't remember. Check a book out. I think then maybe my mom was like, I'm going to have to come back here and drop these books off.

Do not come. Yeah, but then you get more books. I feel like going to the back here and drop these books off. Do not come. Yeah, but they didn't get more books. I feel like going to the library way back in the day, super young, it was like your first way of expressing yourself by being like, I'm getting this book, I'm gonna get this one on paper airplanes. I'm getting this book about polar bears.

Yeah, I don't remember doing that. I don't know, it was like the first kind of like, cultivating your like,eez personality. Oh, dude Yeah, you're kind of you kind of just unlock something. I do remember I got really into cheetahs That was my shit cheetah cheetah. There you go. I wanted to know all about cheetahs Oh, by the way, not a lot to know they run very super fast. That's kind of that. Yeah. Yeah, they're hella fast That covers how fast do you even remember? How fast cuz I know exactly

60 miles 60 miles an hour. That was 72. I've heard 80. I've heard 80 on some forum I thought it was 72 Todd. Oh, I thought it was I think 60s right Todd. Can you look up? Can you look up that cheetahs can only run? I think we came from an era where they were gassing cheetahs can only run 72 miles per hour? I think we came from an era where they were gassing cheetahs up, but they have 50 to 80. 50 to 80. Okay, all right. So a fast-ass cheetah.

But Todd, can I tell you something? Not helpful. Not helpful, brother. Doesn't help Ders' point of view. Yeah. And then mostly getting the National Geographic to see the titties, you know? Allegedly! I have a similar thing. I remember finding a zone in the library where it was this book called ElfQuest.

It's like an old comic, but I remember you flip a few pages. Yeah, ElfQuest's alright. There was some like illustrated nudity. It got pretty horny. They know what they're doing. Oh. I remember being in the library, hugging, sitting in the little lane or whatever,

looking through elf quests, getting so horny as a kid, dude. Holy moly. So horny. Wow. Like it was everything I wanted. It was like fantasy, elves, and then it's just me in a quiet place getting a freaking rock. Checking all the boxes. Wait how old were you? 16. You were 16 years old

reading ElfQuest? No, no, no. I must have been like 11. Yeah. 11 I would say. That's when that's when it was really yeah, I don't remember being I mean down No, I guess I was horny even then but yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, absolutely Yeah, I think maybe I'm just in a negative mood right now. I'm sorry guys. Yeah, it's okay. Go for it We can handle it dude. We're here for you. You know what? Yeah, I love my job. Maybe I'm just being negative Yeah, and by the way Blake Blake, your beard looks fine. Thank you. You think cheetahs can only run 60 miles an hour, dude?

Come on, give cheetahs a break. Yeah, maybe they run 80, I don't know. Oh, they run 100, what do I care? I also remember going pretty psycho on Australia. I loved Australia. I'd read all the Australia books. That was kind of... When you just had a thirst for knowledge,

now I don't give a fuck anymore. Now, you guys have kids that are library ages. Like my child is too young to go to the library. Now, when you go there, is it just homeless people jacking off or? Yeah, they've got this fantasy section. Yeah, it's an ElfQuest. There's a line out the door for ElfQuest.

Excuse me, where's your ElfQuest section? Sir, can you please leave? It's just a bunch of fucking mutants next to the ElfQuest section just going hard. I've only kicked it in the children's section of our local library, so I haven't seen, I haven't ventured towards ElfQuest or any other. But it's popping. It's popping. Librarians are still doing it.

Yeah. The library is still very sick. So, but real talk is there, cause I remember when I first came to LA and I had to print something out and I was like, maybe I'll go to the library. Sure, of course. And yeah, it probably was MapQuest. And I'm like, I'll go to the library, print something out, get a library card. And then Blake Polari remembers this. I've just got a giant book about JFK.

And I just learned all about the Kennedys. It's such a flex. How fast does he run? He was 12 miles an hour. About as fast as a cheetah. OK, that's what I also read. Yeah. Very shagadelic. Yeah, and just looking around, I was like, there's a lot of unhoused, sorry, Blake, unhoused men.

Be sensitive. It's seeming like they're there to look at porno. Like a lot of eyes. On the computers. On the computers, kind of looking around. this is this is 2002-3 right yeah this is yeah this is 2002-3 yeah they're like no no no no I'm not hold on just let me click off of this huh oh my bad oops the internet was full of possibilities and even even the unhoused want to get in on that. I don't even think they had blockers yet.

They were like, it was just wide open spaces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They thought who would do that and then they found out. Has it changed now? Because that's what the library was in LA at that time. I promise you it's changed. Well sometimes, there's still homies there kicking it at the computers. Yeah but you can't watch porno. No no no no no come on the

what would we call it the blockers or what yeah what yeah that's the blockers yeah that's there's a better term but yeah they're the the internet shields there's a better term. The firewalls? The firewalls. Whatever the term is. But yes, we know what your term is. I don't know. What do you need? What do you need? Yeah. Those are very complex and honed in. I don't think people are really pulling... Unless they're looking at breastfeeding videos or... Dude, you could just go to chatgbt.com and then... Or can you look up naked women on ChatGBT?

No, it doesn't really do it. Hot, hot, hot, hot! I knew I was gonna ask Anders and he would know. Your boobs are huge. Well I just put together a pitch and I was doing it over Zoom so I wanted to add a bunch of slides to help illustrate the pitch and the fucking guardrails are insane. Good though. Where you're like, hey I need there to be blood and they're like, mmm. I had one where it was like a white male character who starts dating a biracial ex girlfriend of somebody. So I was like, this guy with

his arm around the biracial girl, he looks like he's like annoying and a jerk and she looks uneasy. And it was like, can't do that because it's a woman. It was like also racially insensitive. And I so had to type back to it. I go, I think you're racially insensitive for even bringing it up. I'm just describing the picture I want for these characters. And it was like, very sorry. Again, these are delicate issues.

And I'm like, I can't wait till Ders being just as an old man, just getting in arguments with chat GPT all day. That's exactly what's gonna to happen. All day. It's like you're wrong, but wearing some screen like, I can just show me black titties and his chat GPT like knows who he is. So it's like, oh, God, here he comes. Here we go. Oh, you again.

I should. Are you there? Hey, yeah. Loading, loading. Well there has to be a some sort of, I don't know anything besides ChatGBT. It's the only one that I know. There has to be other platforms that you can

make pornos. Because porno rules everything around us. Priem? Priem. Because porno rules everything around us. Around me? Yeah. Prime? Prime. Okay.

They do sometimes replace the testicles with a vagina Wow Wow man this is important and again I'm like look you got my attention

that shit's important I click and I go is that what I thought it was and it was but then I'm gone I never work a day in my life it's good to know that I had the question and it was so easily answered immediately. Immediately. Yeah. By our boy Todd. He just typed that into Google. Who already had the tab open.

Yeah. It's like we got through all the, all the, are you 18 or not? I was like, it has to, it has to exist. Click, click. It's right there. I knew. At a moment's notice. Horn balls are undefeated.

They will not stop in their quest of horniness. Mm-hmm. It goes without saying. Yeah, do you ever see a future where the world is not horny anymore? I feel like Gen Z is marching towards that. Yeah, I think they want that life for themselves. No, dang.

And as I picture them marching, pretty hot. Yeah, okay. It's turning me on. Wee- marching, pretty hot. Yeah, okay. It's turning me on. Wee, ooh! Oh my. Okay. Yeah, what is going on with them? But here's the deal, it's just that they're not fucking. Right? They're still horny, they're just not fucking.

Yeah, yeah, I think that's right. Right? Really? And Blake, Blake, are you talking about when we're not horny or when we're not fucking? I'm kinda talking about like, yeah, we don't leave the house to fuck anymore. So the best of both worlds. We're here.

Yeah. I think that's marriage. Doritos. That's marriage. I think we're living that. Yeah. Whoop-ah! That is currently what's happening

with the younger generation. They're not going out to fuck. They're going to mixers. They're going to run clubs and shit. What is that? You mean like running clubs? Where you go running together? Those are sick. I'm hyped on those. But didn't people...

You used to go running together to end up fucking, right? Afterwards you're like, she's pretty fast. I think running together is a fairly new, maybe within the last decade or 15 year thing. No, not within the last decade or 15 year thing. No. Yeah.

No, not in the way run clubs are so popular nowadays. Sure. No. I don't disagree. Adam's correct. But running clubs have been around for quite a while. Not like now. Like Nike used to have a running club in like 2005 that would leave from the Grove store.

Yeah. That's still pretty early in terms of running. Running's been around since the dawn of man. Like. It's still pretty early in terms of running. Running's been around since the dawn of man. Like... It's still pretty early. Is it early or is it late? What are we talking here? I...

Maybe I... So run... Anyway, run clubs. Run clubs. People are doing run clubs instead of fucking. Sure. They're just running. They're just being...

They're trying to get as sexy as possible for Instagram likes into their TikTok page and to sell their protein bars instead of fucking. Wow, dude. And that's the difference between us. You could start at the AI penis. Right. And I will. I think, would you do a run and train club? A what? Run and train club.

Yes, points. Blake, is that the best of both worlds? Prima. I don't think I would. That doesn't excite me. Yeah, you'd get exhausted. You'd get killed by all those guys. Oh, yeah, I guess they're just not going out. People are saying that bars and nightclubs are closing. I have heard that, yeah. And, like, I don't get it. I don't know. What's going on? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I have heard that. Yeah. And like, I don't I don't I don't get it. I don't know what's going on.

Yeah. I mean, there's so much of me that just wishes I was a little younger or I could go to bars and nightclubs on Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays. But who's not going? Are women not going or are guys not going or are both not going? Well, I don't know. I feel like you got a knock on the door of Scottsdale, Arizona and see if it's affecting that place

because I feel like that place is still going off. That's at one end of the bell curve. Yeah, I feel like that is at the one end of the spectrum. Well, I think it's you know, and it's it's what it's what everything we've been talking about. It's all kind of gathered around one idea, but like libraries, nobody's really going anymore. like libraries, nobody's really going anymore. Clubs, nobody's really going anymore.

Think about like, I used to go to record stores and see people. Nobody really goes to those anymore. And what's the idea? They don't even exist. Right. All you have to do is stay home and, and J.O. to AI porno. You don't have to leave. Put on your Oculus Rift and, and J.O. in the metaverse.

Right. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News.

It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley,

sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February, 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died.

I'm like thanking you, but then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you remember when people were buying land in the metaverse for like real amounts of money? How they have to feel like such fucking assholes right now.

Because they're like... Adam, you're going to regret saying that, okay? I mean, maybe. But right now... Cut to 10 years from now, pal. Yeah. Right. Todd, tell us what was the most expensive sale for land in the metaverse?

You got to imagine it's somebody with fuck you money who it doesn't matter They just did it to say they did it and promote probably their own company No, what kind of land are we talking are we talking about like they bought an island or like land to farm on? I don't really remember this wave I remember it being like the street to be on prime real estate is 4.3 million and who what what was it? Maybe get a list going. I know Nike had their store there that they bought and then they put a store there. They probably got in for free.

Whoever is creating this universe probably went to a bunch of places and was like, hey, will you create retail spaces for our population or whatever? Our citizens? This is how I know I'm going gonna be like a really goofy old guy. And it's just like, I don't even care to even learn about this shit. This kind of shit, Bitcoin, I know maybe it's the future or whatever, but I just don't wanna live in it. I'd rather just be in the library looking at ElfQuest.

Like, that's what I'm like. Say less. My future is very retro. I want it to never change in that way. I like that. I mean, I definitely think at some point, I'd rather end up in a fuckin' shack next to a little river than on top of a 200-story skyscraper

with a robot sucking me off while I like watch 10 movies with some goggles on 69 the way you explained it though That kind of sold me hang on. I mean the little shot by the river. I've got some pleasant, but then The robot the robot it can do what now? He said the robot part. It can do what now? It can do what now? Wait a minute.

This future doesn't sound half bad. Not so bleak. I stand by it. Well, we do need to learn some skills. I think we need to get busy. Well, I feel like you're in, Blake. You like to go farming via the internet. Didn't you do Farmville or whatever?

Wait, what? I'm curious what you're... What are you talking about? I remember back in the day you were like, you were playing this game and it was like, No, it's cool. Like Fruit Ninja? I'm working to make money so I can like buy a beach house. And I'm like, just work in real life and buy an actual beach house.

What are you doing? I'm living in a nightmare. Adam, that's stupid. You're talking about when I was, during COVID, I was deep into Animal Crossing. Okay. But that doesn't transfer to actual life skills. Is that just like Frogger?

No, no, you're taking like literally an Animal Crossing the road. This is just a game called Animal Crossing. I'm sorry. It's just the title. Name it better. What are we talking about sorry. It's just the title. Name it better. What are we talking about here? It's just pretty much an RPG,

but I don't really gather, like get real skill from playing that game. I'm saying we need to get our hands in the dirt. We need to plant some gardens. And we can do that with pornify.cc. 69, dudes! And Load Boost. Brought to you by Load Boost. Yeah, I think you can drop huge loads

like in your soil and it'll help your tomatoes get huge. I've heard that. I heard if you play music to them and if you fuck the soil they're planted in, they grow really, really, really big. Only in the metasphere. It's all just Jill Jill Scott

If you give your tomato oral so some company called Republic realm, which Sound good. They say I you know that they're the biggest asshole alive Republic realm that sounds evil. It sounds evil super evil They bought a plot of land in the sandbox metaverse for a record 4.3 million dollars by the way that is a Very nice house. They don't know what the fuck they're doing We don't think this is like an I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine situation We're like the people were like hey, will you just buy $4.3 million in our fucking metaverse or whatever?

That's how rich people work. Yeah. The headline will be there and then we'll buy whatever the fuck you need from us. I do think that's the way like wealthy people, rich people work is like they see other people buying something and say, wait, I don't even fuck with it. But if they're going to be buying it for that much money, I want in as well, just to get my dick on the table. So the record was broke, it was 2.43 million at the time,

I mean, and the land is set in the so-called fashion district of Decentraland, an online virtual-only environment. See, I don't even know how to get to this place. It almost feels like a dead video, like online games that don't exist anymore. Have you ever been on like an online game that nobody plays anymore and it's just no one is there? It's just like a barren... Oh yeah, I tried to play old Call of Duty, the World War II version.

Which was the first game that got me into Call of Duty, what, like two years ago now. And there was like nobody there. And it was like kind of spooky. It's just me walking around. Dude, it's kind of like a bit of a horror movie. Like you go to these old games and there's servers that are still up and there's literally maybe there's two people there

It's like what the fuck are you doing on this game? Yeah, it was just me and the same guy killing is such other over and over and I'm like this is kind of boring He's like, yeah, I'm out. Oh my god Well, I'm gonna just stay That's how we're gonna make friends what is it's World War two it was a Call of Duty World War two And then now I I'm playing the new Call of Duty. It's very fun. Very fun. That's my game.

What war is it? A new one. It's a new one. It's just a war that hasn't even been started yet. You wait. Shit's gonna go off. It's us bombing Iran. Sounds topical.

Seems topical. They made that game. That's out now? Yeah, yeah. You guys, they just drummed it up. Have you guys heard about how Ukraine took out a bunch of shit in Russia and how they did it? Oh, oh yeah. I watched that YouTube video.

It's fucking insane. What is the name of the thing? So sick. It's literally just a bro. Here, let me guess. Okay. They sent the Russian operatives, people that were in charge, link to pornify.cc. Not far off.

And then all of a sudden they were MIA. And they go, sir, I don't like it. They walked right in and fucking just. They were JOI. Hey, preem. They got preem. They hit him with the preem bomb, baby. I'm preem. Close, Adam him with the preem bomb, baby. I'm preem'd.

Close, Adam. Very close. They essentially sent a, what do they call it, like a shipping container. They sent a shipping container on a truck into Russia. Now we're talking. Regular-ass truck, just a guy driving a truck who's like, yeah, I got this shipping container.

I'm just a dude. I'm just a dude. I'm just a dude. Hey, uh, which way is Kyiv? Which way is Kyiv? Where's Kyiv? That's in Ukraine. Hey, where's that damn missile silo? So he's leaving that and he's in Russia.

I'm trying to get back to Kyiv. I just left Kyiv. I'm trying to make my way to Moscow. Moscow is what I was looking for. Where's the missile silo? Yeah. I heard if I turn around in Moscow, I'll get back to Kiev. They're like, sir, no, you cannot be here.

This is nuts. And then he says, hey, do me a favor and click this link. And the guy's like, wait, what? Oh, oh, why do you have American accent? I'm from here. You're from here as well. This is where we truck driver. I'm from a real mountainous part of Ukraine.

Don't worry about that. 999. I'm a truck a real mountainous part of Ukraine. Don't worry about that. 999. I'm a truck driver. OK. Doodoo! Yeah, OK. The truck is on route because the truck driver is just a delivery guy taking it out there.

When it gets to a certain point, the top of the shipping container opens remote control style. And a shit ton, like dozens of drones with bombs on them Yeah, go out as programmed fly over to the military base. That's nearby and then just bomb all their planes. Yep On some like fucking mission impossible type shit It's fucking crazy and then they what they couldn't stop them because there were so many drones Because I know they have missile defense No, dude. These are like there's no missile defense for a drone

That's flying like 30 feet off the ground a little yeah like it's crazy It's literally like the road nearest the the the Air Force by the way do not quote me Right near the Air Force base, where it just opened up, and then they just zoomed over there in under a minute or so, and dropped bombs on all their bomber planes. And yet I can't even get a package delivered by Amazon via drone. Like, what the fuck?

Yeah, what the fuck? And Adam, you've always got a funny, quirky way of seeing things. Where's my hand sanitizer I ordered on Amazon Prime, OK? They probably delivered it to my Metaverse house, OK? Yeah! Central Land. I didn't see that video, but there is a YouTube,

and there's a very specific name to who these fighters are or whatever. But basically, what it is is this dude just sitting in like a. I'm just a dude. Yeah, just like a tent outside of where the target is, and he literally is probably just the guy who's the best at Modern Warfare, the video game. He's just sitting there with a VR headset,

and he's flying these drones with low bombs on them, and he just, like, he's so good at it, he just, it's whatever target he wants. It could be just like one person, it could be a tank, it could be... It could be a dildo in your, yeah, it could whatever target he wants. It could be just one person, it could be a tank. It could be a dildo in your, yeah, it could be anything. What else could it be? It's just a dude just playing video games. It's just a dude.

It's crazy. It's modern warfare, my friends. It's insane. That is another episode of. It's depressing. Wait, what the hell? Wow, dude. I was like, yo, between that and the phone like the pager bomb one from a few months ago,

I'm like, what are we up to? Yeah, there's some really cool shit happening. Really cool, well, it also is. Really cool, well, you know, sad and insane, but inventive. Inventive. Can you imagine the writer's room for these, for these, what are they called, plans?

of the episode. Yeah, it's kind of cool. Yeah, it was the theme. Yeah, history repeats itself. I'd like to give a shout out to the- Pornify. Dozens and dozens and dozens, if not hundreds of people that signed up for the cruise Oh hell yeah, baby since the last podcast when we talked about it

We're getting near sold out and I want people to gobble them up before they all get sold out We'll do it live yes, because it is it's gonna be a true banger true banger of a of a time. Yeah I can't wait. I'm getting more and more excited. I plan on I'm going to be an alcoholic Yes on that cruise. I'm ready to go back just on that cruise I don't care if I spasm and my eyeball falls out a spasm hits me so hard probably had too many beers I'm ready to fucking send it on the cruise. Blake, what is the Too Many Beers from? What was his name?

Brett Kavanagh or whatever. We're very, we're kind of, yeah. I'm still gonna send it. We're kind of polycharged this app. Yeah, I guess we are accidentally polycharged. Yeah, the cruise is gonna be bonkers, man. The cruise is gonna be insane. Every time I think about it, I'm like,

it's gonna be a once in a lifetime, just you're never gonna forget it. Someone's going overboard. Someone's jumping. I hope not. I guarantee you. I hope not. What's the over under? I'm putting it at two. Okay.

We're not putting it in. We're not encouraging it. I'm putting the over under at two. I mean, I think we don't want anyone to go over. No. Yeah, so I'm going to say under, because I think even the fall is enough to kill you. Maybe you.

Maybe you. Anything happens on international waters. Maybe. This is the way. You know what? And I would like to do an apology to where the wild things are. Because, you know, we kind of shit on it as a story. But it-

What a bitch. Have a backbone. No, it has stood the test of time and it's for a reason. It's because it unlocks your imagination. It doesn't matter what the story is. If the illustrations are good enough, then it's an all-timer. I don't disagree. Okay, we didn't say it wasn't an all-timer

It's just amazing felt like we shit on that book for no reason and all books a Caldecott award winner say less Caldecott there you go, and it deserves it and it deserves it snow the hatchet by Gary Paulson, but it's fine Oh, it's fine. Not enough pictures for me in that one. Okay fair enough I'm saying there's nobody in there that looks like Blake in my opinion. That's fine. Not enough pictures for me in that one. Okay, fair enough. You know what I'm saying? Pizza, pizza. There's nobody in there that looks like Blake in my opinion. That is true. That is true.

Thanks, guys. And Blake, I would like to take back. I kind of was, I don't know why I was in a mood early on and was just dunking on fools. Had you had your naked chicks yet today? Your 30 naked wings? My feel free? Oh, my, oh, oh, you mean my... Maybe you were hungry.

Yeah, I am hungry actually. I have not eaten yet today. I had a mush this morning, an overnight oat. And that's 200 calories. Mushes are getting worse. I'm so fucking hungry. So that's 200 calories and it's 3 p.m. When mush came out, they were good, and now mush is bad.

What is mush again? I don't know what they've done. It's these little overnight oatmeal things. Yeah. They're delicious, but. They're not good anymore, they used to be. Do you ever make your own mush, independent mush? No, I'm not gonna, what? It's really easy.

That's the future I want. I want a cabin right by the river, I'm making my own mush. It's really easy to make overnight oats. I'm jizzing into the crops. Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna take the robot sucking me off while I'm in a high rise watching 20 movies at once. And you'll just have mush.

Hey, good luck feeling like you're in touch with Mother Earth. You're gonna have mush injected into your ass. I'll be balls deep in Mother Earth, I don't know about you. And that's another episode of... This is... IMPORTANT! -♪ HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING. -♪ Oh... I got one take back. I'm sorry, Mother Earth.

-♪ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING. -♪ So, what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
