Over the last couple years,
didn't we learn that the folding chair
was invented by black people
because of what happened in Alabama?
This Black History Month,
the podcast, Selective Ignorance with Mandy B,
unpacks Black History and Culture
with comedy, clarity, and conversations
that shake the status quo.
The Crown Act in New York was signed in July of 2019,

And at Morehouse College,
the students make their move.
These students, including a young Samuel L. Jackson,
locked up the members of the Board of Trustees,

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the unpurposed podcast.
On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas,
singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
I went blank.
I hit a bad note, and then I couldn't kind of recover.
And I had built up this idea that music and being musician was my whole identity.
I had to sort of relearn who I was,
took this thing away. Who am I?

Welcome to
This Is Important, a production of
Iheart Radio, the show where we talk
about what's obviously most
critically, crucially important.
Today on This Is Important.
Bo Jackson gave my mom a
in 20 seconds.
It was the warmth of a
other man's ass. And it was hot. They're about to release a 20-inch hot dog.
Let's go.
Oh, yeah. Is this our theme music for the whole week? Yeah. This has been an unbelievable Super Bowl.
60. 60? Not quite nine. Not quite nine. The joke that keeps on going.
Never stop. We're a little late. Hey, I'm not feeling great.
You can tell by the sunglasses.
Oh, power move.
I'm just not sleeping.
I'm too excited.
There's too much hustle and bustle happening outside.
I know I know I could go out and get my freak on if I wanted to.
But instead, I just kind of toss and turn in bed and then absolutely butcher my performance at Marriott.
Well, we turned it on.
We're coming hot off the set of New Heights.
New Heights podcast.
As Travis and Jason Kelsey heard of them?
He's the thing.
Yes, we were in the room with the big boys, and it was feeling good.
And I thought you performed very well on that.
Thank you.
Right.
We stuck to the script.
We nailed our lines.
I didn't know the whole thing was scripted, but, you know, just like the NFL, just like the NFL.
Oh, oh, Roger Goodell just breaks through the wall.
I was texting with Trump this morning, and he was like, what?
Hold on.
He was like, let me know what you talk about on the podcast.
I'm going to come.
That's your Trump.
No, that's what he really sounds like.
Wow, he sounds like Bill Cosby.
You don't know him.
Yeah.
With the yellow pudding.
Yeah.
Let me talk about the podcast.
Let me talk about my son Barry.
It's crazy, right?
Yeah, that is actually wild.
But those guys are great.
Those guys are really good dudes.
I don't know about you, but I liked doing their podcast.
I did too.
Thought you were about to pick one.
Fuck it.
Honestly, it's hard to choose.
It's a toss-up.
They're both great in their own ways.
Who's a better kisser?
Traff.
Trave.
Yeah.
For sure.
There's no.
He's a hand on the face kisser.
I'm not a, I'm not a kiss a bearded, like, too big of a beard on Jason.
I like a shaving face.
I do feel more feminine.
I don't kiss guys.
It is, it is nice to talk to those guys because we were at a party the night before, right?
And we were hanging out with them.
And it was nice, but we were in a loud bar.
Sure.
And I feel like I cannot communicate with giant men when I'm in a loud bar.
You're closer to their height.
So it's a little easier.
there to kiss them.
Yeah, you just,
shut the fuck!
All right.
Okay.
I'm pissed now.
And then I feel like
even you're there
to where you can
still hear each other.
I'm just a few inches.
Wouldn't you just
too short to where
the sound can't travel
that far down to me?
Would you guys call me out
if you noticed
at every single party
I was on my tiptoes
the whole time?
I don't think so.
A long time ago,
someone sent me
a super cut of me
on red carpets.
That's rough.
Standing on my tiptoe.
Really?
But not my tiptoes.
The issue is my right leg is shorter.
So sometimes I'll be up on my little, my little ginky.
Oh, that's cute.
My little gifty right leg.
I have noticed you doing that a lot.
Yeah.
And by the way, whoever puts you together this, get a fucking life.
No, no, no, no.
I like it.
We like the content.
Keep it coming.
Well, sure, there's that.
Content is king.
Absolutely.
But what are you?
Who gives a fuck?
Let my guy work on his calves.
Thank you.
You're just always working out, I think is what it is.
I'm trying to work on my calf.
You're saying it's done as like a tactic to out our boy.
It was like a little hurtful.
There was some hate behind it.
And I didn't like that.
Okay, yeah.
Well, then Ders, I stand with you.
Leave him alone.
So this is the last day at the Super Bowl for Radio Row.
Ders is going home.
He's going to go running.
I'm running a race.
He's running a race.
I'm running a race.
We're raising money for the five.
Firefighters, the big fire last year, running from Alta Dina to the Palisades.
It's going to be a good time.
Almost is fun of staying here and going to Shaq's party.
But when you sign up for something, when you sign a blood oath.
Yeah.
And your wife is like making you do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She might have said don't be a bunch of them.
I heard that there's actually a 5K in the city tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
That rapper Pilo, my friend.
You got your EvoS.
Are you going to wake up and go running?
That does not seem like the Blake Anderson that I know and love.
Here's the deal.
Wow, dude.
I haven't done any form of working out at all since I've been here in these three days.
I know it's not a lot of days.
But I feel like kind of like shit.
Like I need to breathe hard.
Well, you've just been guzzling alcohol for three days.
Rum, yeah.
Well, we went to the win in the Tonga Room.
Yeah.
Dude.
If you're in San Francisco, do yourself a favor.
Go to the Tonga Room.
Yes.
It's at the basement of the Fairmont.
Fairmont's a beautiful hotel.
Gorgeous.
I, I, uh,
I, uh,
lived there for several months when I shop the seminal film.
Drop it on them.
The seminal film.
Drop it on it.
Sexy baby.
Jackson.
Jacksonie.
Came out, hey, came out in theaters.
Didn't make any money, but guess we're really shy.
Boys.
Dada dang.
Hit us with it.
Okay.
Hit us with it.
Hit us with it.
Netflix.
Yes.
Netflix.
number two on Netflix.
Did the world clamor for more?
No, they didn't.
They didn't.
Went all the way to the top.
To number two.
There was a,
wait,
an actual good movie?
Who beat you?
Who beat you?
Who beat Jackson?
It was like a Mary Kate and Ashley Olson movie.
You lost to an old Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.
I don't know.
He was Airbud for four or whatever.
Brother for sale?
Yeah, it was an earnest scared stupid.
I don't know what was number one, but we went to number two.
So anyways.
Congrats.
I lived at the Fairmont.
And in the basement of this hotel is where it was the old pool in the 1920s.
It was just a pool.
But then in the 1950s, they got a bright idea to deck this baby out like a, like a Tiki bar when Tiki bars were all the rave.
And then there's a pool in the middle.
And then there's a little like boat, floating boat that kind of they just push out.
And it's pulled out.
And then all of a sudden there's like a Bruno Mars little tiny.
I think you're just calling the Filipino people.
No.
They're not Bruno Mars.
They were singing Bruno Mars songs.
Maybe Aw?
Maybe Aw.
Hey, when I'm in the Tonga Room, it's all Bruno Mars, baby.
Everybody's coming.
24-carid diamonds in there.
They performed Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson.
And those are Bruno Mars to you?
That's not Bruno Mars.
Also Bruno Mars.
Did you see that Whitney Houston that was up there, too?
We're just calling people of their race by the most famous person of their race now.
So who are we then?
Am I Larry Bird?
Yeah.
We're three Larry Birds.
We're all Larry.
It's just one person.
I like that.
Hey, Team Larry.
Yeah.
Larry Bird's the most famous white person at the moment.
God, Larry Bird has such...
When's the last time you looked at Larry Bird's face?
He looks like a bird.
It's weird when someone has a last name that they look identical to.
Yeah.
Like, I don't look angelic.
Well, not today.
No.
I like how you picked a name that's not your last name.
Just say you don't look.
look divine. There we go. Well, sure, but
I don't look like a
like a cherub. I know, but if
your premise is that people look
like their name. Hey, and this is why we have you around
to punch up my jokes. Thank you. The rules
are this. You said the rules. Thank you for that.
I do kind of look like Anders Sun, though.
Yes. I could see that. So that
looked at you and I looked like a hole.
We'll do it a lot.
I look like the hole.
Yeah, so we're at
Andrew's hole. I like that.
We were at the talk room last night. And
We also went and did, or I did a barstool sports trivia night.
I was asked, I was asked, drunk.
I wasn't nervous.
I just was saying I shouldn't be chosen to do this.
I'm bad.
There wasn't nerves.
It was just like, this is a, and I was right.
I wasn't that great at it.
But then you were talking about how you were shitting blood, and I was like, you're nervous.
And you were like, this is unrelated.
Yeah, I was having nosebleeds.
I'm not nervous, dude.
My hair was coming out and in, and clomping.
in clumps.
It wasn't nerves.
It wasn't nerves, guys.
Well, you came out saying that, like, if they ask MBA questions,
you're going to knock them out of the park.
And I don't think you got either of those ones.
Well, the one NBA question they...
He didn't do well.
And he didn't...
Someone's going to make a super cut of it.
And am I projecting?
Because, yeah, you guys went on who wants to be a millionaire?
Hey, I got the face.
I got the face matchup.
You did do that.
The face mashup.
Nailed it.
I just...
I didn't know how triggering it would be to watch you do trivia.
It sent me right back to when you guys.
guys didn't call me on the phone a friend at who wants to be a millionaire.
I'm sorry.
I don't, I'm sorry.
I literally sat by the phone.
How many times can I say, I'm sorry?
Honestly.
Well, what happened was is Ders.
I know.
He's a,
he was a little cavalier.
He was a little cavalier.
And he said that he knew the answer.
He had just seen it on.
He had just seen it on Instagram or whatever.
And he knows this without a doubt.
And I'm going, well, do we, maybe phone Blake, maybe.
He seems pretty cavalier.
Yeah, and I'm like, you seem a little cavalier here.
And we didn't, and we lost.
It was embarrassing.
But I thought we did pretty well on, so.
And by the way, you last night told me I did surprisingly well on trivia.
So you were lying.
And then when you get on the podcast, you decided to dump on me.
And also, you weren't watching.
So what are you basing as long?
I saw like the first two questions.
And by the way, the NBA questions that the other team got, I knew it was Chris Cayman because he's a clipper.
That's true.
Which I was unaware that Chris Cayman was an all-star.
That's crazy.
When's the last time you looked at Chris Cayman's face?
Don't say that about Chris Kamen.
Why are you obsessed with basketball players' faces?
It was 2008, I think.
These are very specific faces.
I think everyone has a specific face, dude.
It is their face.
No, Chris Kamen face is a different level.
Yeah.
Yep. So note for the editors, put Chris Kamen's face just floating right here if you can. If you can, if you can, do anything of that.
If you need us. He looks like a cave man.
All right. Anyone else you want to insult? Who cares?
The best streaming platform I'm aware of outside of Apple TV?
Not really. I'm ready to be nice.
What was your favorite party of the week or thing that we've done so far?
Little roundup. But that's what this is, Blake. This is the last day of the pod.
here at Super Bowl 60.
Should we go through some highlights?
Should we go through some highlights?
I would love to.
I mean, this guy, the guy that catches the food in the mouth?
Is that him?
Yeah, that is him.
I wonder if he's over there.
He doesn't leave much of the imagination.
He's over there like trying to get something caught in his mouth.
What are they doing?
I don't know.
There might be a fight.
There's some physical specimens here.
These guys are grappling for what.
reason? I don't know. And Troy Aitman's over there. He wants to come on the podcast. He's
cross-legged. We might not have a guest today. Sorry, Troy. This is, this is just time for us to
reassess what happened this week. To recap? Best party. What party? First night. Sushi dinner.
Oh, yeah. Bang and sushi dinner. We might have eaten too much sushi. It cost Isaac $6,000, I was told.
Really? You might get fired for that sushi dinner. Was it really that much? Okay.
Whoa. Wow. We put up...
Oh, only 2000? Okay.
That's a lot.
I mean, that is a lot of sushi. It sure is.
But it was a nice sushi restaurant.
It was delicious.
It was nice.
Was the name Uzo? Is that right?
Give a shout-out.
It was very good.
I believe it was Uzo. Was that the name of the sushi restaurant?
Maybe that was our favorite night because that's the night where we really just got to hang out with each other.
Yeah.
And, Trey, my buddy Trey Cool.
And Trey, Trey, he came.
He lives up to his name.
Yeah, very cool guy.
You guys know he was in Green Day?
Yeah.
I only recently found that out after hanging out with him.
Every time I hang out with him, I go, I think I know this guy from somewhere.
After hanging out with him for maybe once a month for the last five years,
it now is dawning on me that he's the drummer of Green Day.
For me, it was always like, I think I've known this guy's face since I was 11.
Yeah, yeah.
He's been around.
But Trey's a great guy.
He is great.
And he ate sushi with us, and that was very fun.
and then what do we do after that?
I mean, that was only like two nights ago,
but dear God, is it all blending it together?
The days feel really long out here, too.
Right.
Like, we take naps every day, I want to say.
I have not.
I try.
No, we do.
We do.
Oh.
It's in his hotel.
And that's the difference between us.
And you can start at the penis.
We take naps every day, right?
I try.
I try.
And I will say, oh, dude, if you're at,
if you go to the.
Marriott Marquis.
Marriott, please.
My God.
And I saw the Marriott woman walking around here.
Marriott Marquis.
Is that what it's called the Marquis?
Marquis.
Marquay.
In San Francisco.
Marquay.
Their gym is unreal.
Okay.
You haven't even been in their gym.
I haven't.
I thought you were the, well, that's why he's the natural hard body.
He doesn't even need to go to the gym.
My body is giving me signals that it needs to.
Your body's giving me signals.
Okay.
It's giving me signals that I need to get some sort of like a sweat in.
What are those signals?
Weird poops.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The poops are not regular.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I need them to get back to a regular place.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're welcome Netflix.
Yeah, that's always when I know I've maybe punched the gas a little too hard.
Yeah.
It's science.
The body keeps.
The body keeps.
It's science.
It's science.
The body keeps on this rate.
you're going to, are you going to try to run it pretty damn fast or are you going to kind of roll down?
I don't know. How many K's is it? I'm doing, I think, 10K. It's a relay race of five people or six people all the way from Altadena to the Palisades.
So you don't have to run 10K? No, I'm, I run 10K. Someone else runs 10K. Oh my Lord. It's across LA. It's going across LA. So I'm going from like, I'm going from I think like Silver Lake to Hollywood. There's some hills that I think I'm going to end up hitting. I got to get the like,
That is seriously too many Ks.
You're going to go from Tonga Room to running a heel, a 10K?
Yeah.
Well, I called it early last night.
You did.
You did.
I was actually really impressed when you called it early.
And woke up looking like hammered shit.
Yeah.
You didn't look great for calling it as early as you did.
I don't understand.
I think maybe I shouldn't have slept.
You know what kind of bothered me is that we called it fairly early.
We're back in the hotel room by like 1 a.m.
And then I fell asleep at like 1.30, but then I woke up at like 5.30 or 6.
And then I couldn't go back to sleep.
And then I was like, well, I wish I could have just stayed out later.
And then maybe I would have slept in a little bit.
So what are you doing at 5, 6?
What are you doing in your hotel room at that time when you're just kind of...
I don't want to talk about it.
Yeah.
I don't want to talk about it.
No, did you put on a film?
Do you read a book?
No, no, no, no.
Because then all of a sudden the brain gets cooking.
What do you mean?
I'm trying to go back to sleep.
I'm trying to...
Yeah, I bet you are.
Yeah, you're not just...
What helps you get back to sleep?
Read a book, watch a film.
No, I'm not reading a book or watching a film.
I'm just rolling over.
I'm trying to get...
How do you relax?
How do you...
I know you guys want me to say that...
I know you want me to say that I jerk off in order to go back to sleep.
And I just thought of that.
How dare you?
Yeah.
I know you want me to say that, but that is not what happened.
I just realized that's what it could seem like.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
No, what I do is I take...
What I do, guys, and this is hot content.
What I do is I try a new pillow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I try a new pillow out.
I go, man, maybe I get a cold pillow over here.
Maybe that.
Oh, I love a cold pillow.
I got a bone to pick with hotels.
All right.
Let's do it.
Let's flash it.
This is hotel pillows talk.
They're too big.
Too stuffed.
Two stuffed.
You're sleeping uphill.
What the fuck is going on?
I have to call, depending on the hotel.
if you can or you can't, whatever.
But sometimes I'll call the front desk and I'm like, do you guys have like flatter pillows?
Older pillows?
And they got them.
Really?
You got to call down.
I would never do that.
Tell you what?
That's the difference between us.
The Marriott Hotel pillows.
Mm-hmm.
Wake up.
Chef's kiss.
Perfect.
Nice pillows.
I personally can't sleep on them.
Right.
And I don't know why.
I do know why.
You drink Celsius and air.
I don't drink Celsius.
Lots of Red Bull.
I drink.
come up four to six.
Espresso martinis after midnight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You kind of round out your night with espresso martini.
Yeah.
And I did, I did have a Red Bull leaving the party last night.
Did you really?
I did.
Adam, look at me.
Look at me.
Yeah.
No, look at me.
I am.
Start at the beans.
Stop.
Yeah.
Stop.
Gung-Nay.
Well, you know, I was drinking in vodka soda and I wanted a little mix.
But what?
Put some lime in it.
Yeah, cranberry or like.
Well, see, that, that, that, that.
That's not the issue.
The falling asleep isn't the issue.
I fall asleep.
I just wake up four hours later.
That's not the issue.
Pizza, pizza.
But no, that's your body.
That's the red bull hitting your bloodstream.
There's a civil war inside your body of alcohol versus tarim.
And the tarings win at four in the morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess when you break it down like that, maybe I shouldn't have had that Red Bull.
But that's on.
Yeah.
Oh, so your blind spot for this?
is unreal.
It's concerning.
And slide into Blake's DMs
and commiserate with Blake.
Because I've had enough.
Bullitt. Yeah, so
last night, I don't know if
you didn't come in that back room, but
Michelle and I, we saw that like
a back VIP room.
And I go to the guy and the guy's like,
no, you can't come in. You don't have the right wristband.
And then I look in and I think I see Justin
Bieber. Yeah. And I go,
I go, is Justin Bieber back there?
I know Justin Bieber.
He, I would like to say hi.
And then the guy goes, all right, you can come in.
And I think I'm going to see Justin Bieber.
It's just a guy.
Oh, yeah.
It's just a guy that looks absolutely nothing like Justin Bieber.
It wasn't Bebbs?
It wasn't Beeps.
And the security guard was like, I'm going to watch this happen.
He's like, this motherfucker.
And by the way, it was just like just a bunch of dudes.
Yeah.
And it wasn't, and one of them was my old agent.
It wasn't like a.
Yeah.
I'm going to say this.
I don't know how this was the VIP section of this.
party. As we're kind of like, you know, wrapping up the Super Bowl, a lot of saying it was a bunch of dudes.
That's kind of what this week has been. It's like a, it's a, it's a, it's quite a dude fest.
And I am shocked. Yeah. It's a football game. Except, we met one of the coolest girls. What's her name?
The rugby player that we ran into. Oh, yeah. I saw her. She was at her party.
Saw her. Oh, you did last night. Yeah. She's so cool. Yeah. And she was wearing
this backless thing and her back was easy elana mayor elana mayor mayor mayor mayor mayor mayor mayor mayor mayor may not be
what the fuck we don't know by the way i mean maybe i i it may be my dream body is easy is no longer a female crossfitter
right in her 50s and this is clarified this is for yourself for myself yes maybe my dream body
She's like, what they say?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Rugby player.
Yes.
That's, I mean, because she was so jacked, but it wasn't off-putting.
No.
No.
No.
It looked good.
It never is off-put-er.
This is like peak human.
Well, bodybuilders.
Female bodybuilders, I feel like, are a little, it's a little much.
You don't like that?
It's a little much.
I guess I could see where you're coming from.
Yeah.
You don't watch a body-bodybuilder porno?
I don't.
When they just pick people up and, like,
Walk around the room with them?
I mean, there has to be bodybuilder porn.
There is.
You went down that rabbit hole?
I mean, just to be like, what is this?
I think I watched the documentary on bodybuilders, and that's like the whole side gig.
The whole side, this guy's nodding.
Catch a bitch!
This guy's over there like, it is.
It is.
It is.
Lucrative.
Yeah, the whole side hustles that they don't make any money.
It's expensive to upkeep the whatever.
And so on the side, they just go like wrestle,
men and they're like, here's $200.
That was fun.
Okay.
I like that.
Okay.
That makes sense.
They just wrestled them.
And only wrestle.
I, I, when I was sleeping last night and doing, and doing nothing else, right,
I had a kind of a realization and it shook me to my core, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
It shook me to my core.
Kyle's been off the podcast, dude.
Yeah.
Kyle's not even here.
Do we have a chair for him?
Did not realize?
Kyle hasn't been here for a long time.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
My realization is in a generation, which it's coming up, there will be no porn stars.
Porn stars are gone.
They're all going to do only things.
You make more money.
It's more secretive.
It's not just out there.
They're not going to do porn anymore.
Because they don't make the same amount of money.
And they're going to do and they're going to just only do it behind the paywall.
He's crying.
They're only going to do behind the payroll.
Here's what I need.
Here's what I need from you.
I guess I need like your definition of a porn star because if you're doing only fans,
which is pornographic.
It is, yeah.
And if you are a star of that, how are you not a porn star?
Yeah.
Would that make sense of criteria?
But you can't.
There's no, uh, there's no like class left to it.
There's no backstory about how their stepbrother and sister, different parents and, you know,
the stuff that really makes.
Your boobs are huge.
Engorged.
Really makes.
There's no, there's no backstory.
about how like maybe she got stuck in the laundry machine.
Is that what you're saying that there's no more,
there'll be no more just, there's no more like Pornhub
that you can just click.
There's, the, I mean, the old videos will be there.
Yeah, but we'll have those forever.
But now it's just going to be behind the paywall
that is only fans. But no.
69, dudes!
Cover this, I feel like super recently.
At length, you can just, you just go to a different campsite and there,
see, I don't have, I've never looked at campsites.
I don't know that.
that world and guess what? I'm gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm an old man. I'm an old man.
I know what I know. I know. Uh, speaking of, uh, fear not, you can see them. Yes, and NFL, thank
for having us. If and when you want. This is our NFL round up. The parties we went to. The,
the porn star industry, all the good stuff. In a generation, the Super Bowl's going to be on fucking
only fans. That would be incredible.
What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you?
I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation.
Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks,
and we go deeper than the polished story.
We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope.
We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize,
yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind
won't slow down, faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out.
If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can
hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Menalich Lamouba. It's 1960. It's 1960.
Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
had both been assassinated,
and Black America was out of breaking point.
Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale.
In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College,
the students had their own protest.
It featured two prominent figures in Black history,
Martin Luther King Sr. and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.
To be in what we really thought was a revolution,
I mean, people were dying.
People will die.
In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone.
The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago.
This story is about protest.
It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.
Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on-purpose podcast.
On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
The thing I would say to my younger self is congratulations.
You get to marry Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
And also, you know, your daughter is incredible.
That's beautiful, man.
Yeah.
Thank you.
That's so beautiful.
I can see that got you a little.
Yeah, for sure.
Our daughter, she came to the world under sort of very intense circumstances, which I'd not really talked about ever.
Growing up on Disney in front of a million,
how did that shape your sense of self?
I went blank.
I hit a bad note,
then I couldn't kind of recover.
And I built up this idea
that music and being musician
was my whole identity.
I had to sort of relearn who I was
if you took this thing away.
Who am I?
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty
on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is Ryder Strong,
and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather.
It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea.
In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune.
It was hard to wrap your head around.
It was nature and trees and praying and drugs.
So no, I am not your guru.
And back then, I lied to my parents.
I lied to police.
I lied to everybody.
There were years right where I could not say your name.
I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California,
to interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened.
Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend?
They have had this case for 30 years.
I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around here in my wife.
Boom, boom.
This is the red weather.
Listen to the red weather on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Oh my God, guys.
Bo Jackson is 20 feet away from us.
Where is he really is?
He's right there.
He really is.
He's right across from him.
Is that Adam Devine?
Please don't stop the music.
Yep.
Bo Jackson Devine.
Very Shaghan.
Devine.
Oh yeah.
There he is.
It was almost my son's name.
How are we even going to keep podcast?
It's going to be hard.
It's going to be hard.
I'm just going to do this.
Excuse me.
A true cameraman.
A true hero.
Can you get the out of the way?
He's not going to like that.
Yeah.
Anders.
What if he just goes?
Anders.
And I go,
Mm-hmm.
That would be awesome.
That's what it is.
That would be incredible.
Kill that 10K, brother.
Are you Anders?
Yes.
I wanted to take a moment to uplift.
Are you Larry Bird?
The city of San Francisco, the Bay Area.
Shout out.
I think they've been doing a wonderful job with this Super Bowl.
I feel like they deserve Pepsi, but okay.
Yeah.
The Bay does not deserve Pepsi in my mind.
There's,
for people that aren't currently in the Bay Area and know what the fuck they're talking about,
there's signage.
Pepsi is the official sponsor of the NFL.
I guess.
See you.
And the slogan they landed on that's in every window.
On every storefront and every bus that passes is the Bay deserves Pepsi.
And it sounds like a slam.
Knowing damn well that Coca-Cola is obviously number one.
But the Bay?
The Bay, they deserve it.
Deserves Pepsi.
I told you, dude.
The next best.
Well, maybe, you know, add.
As a Bay Destrian, I switch over to...
Baydestrient.
Yeah, I switch over to Pepsi.
And you sold that from E40, that...
Baydestrian?
Yeah, or did you just make that up?
It's the name of a Mr. Fab album.
Okay.
Yeah.
That sounds like a fun shirt you probably have.
I need to get one, be honest.
But I am wearing one of my favorite shirts right now.
That says puff daddy?
No, the buff dad...
No, this is not a puff daddy shirt.
I mean, can you understand...
Do you understand that that's what looks like it says?
For anybody who's listening, I'm not...
We're wearing a puff daddy shirt.
That looks like it says puff daddy.
That would be really hard.
And he looks like he would be at those parties.
You're wearing a puff daddy shirt.
I'm wearing an R. Kelly shirt.
And Ders is just wearing in Jeffrey Epstein.
Yeah.
Great ass.
They're like, these guys.
We have it.
We don't watch the news.
I'm wearing a Jeffrey Epstein lay from his island.
What?
These guys are really trying to be.
We actually don't watch the news.
We've never watched that.
We're completely uninformed.
Yeah.
What happened?
Well, I don't even, because on the Google News Feed, it's just stuff that they think I know.
So it's like, did you know Volvo's updating its operating system?
Meanwhile, a city's burned down and I don't know.
Right.
Well, that's the other thing that's a trip about being out here.
And what it was similar at New Orleans is when you're surrounded by all this, like, NFL stuff, you don't know what's happening in the outside world.
I have no clue what's happening in the last couple days.
Well, let me tell you something.
In a generation, give me no more.
Yeah.
This is important.
It kept me up.
It kept me up.
Yeah, but you weren't jacking off to go back to sleep.
I wasn't.
Great.
Yeah.
This is what you were thinking apropos of any sort of internet connection.
I know you want to put that on me and you want me to say I was jerking off in my hotel room.
That's not what was happening.
I was trying to sleep and I couldn't.
And I had these thoughts.
And I want to tell you at this point, Bo Jackson is within earshot.
So he might be hearing everything you're saying.
I mean, he still looks great too.
He still is like, you can hand that man a football.
Yeah.
You could hand him a football and you could hand him a baseball bat.
You could hand him anything.
I bet it can still take a baseball bat and just over your head.
Oh my God.
I would let him do it.
Hey, will you crack this?
He just goes, you die, but you go, my skull would just cave in.
Yeah, it would melt to putty.
Oh my gosh.
It would be gone.
Now I'm going to go beat off.
What else?
What else?
Did you guys enjoy your time in San Francisco?
I have.
And this is the cleanest I've ever seen.
Right, because you're on record of saying, like, the Bayer is very dirty, nasty, gross.
Well, I think it's a beautiful city.
And I have said that.
I think it's a stunningly beautiful city.
But they did allow people to smoke crack on the sidewalks.
Well, it's called getting hyphen hyphen.
Injectureen into their cocky, their vancocks.
Cocky, vaingcocks.
I'm just going to say that.
But there is also weird odor.
You've seen maybe a half dozen people smoking crack.
Yeah, not.
I feel like the...
Which is a pretty low number.
Yeah, yeah, they're doing good.
There are pockets of the city that are interesting.
It smells like they just, like, soaked it down.
It's like when someone shits on something, and then you have to spray something to remove the shit.
Right.
And it looks like it just got cleaned.
But then they, you know, when you go into a bathroom where somebody sprays Glade?
Oh, yeah.
It makes it worse.
You smell shit and glade.
you don't not smell shit.
Right.
That's what it smells like to me.
In pockets.
You're in there.
In pockets.
Not everywhere.
But you do hit little vortexes where you're like,
whoa, whoa.
But I also will say,
Hey.
I don't feel like I've felt the personality of the city this weekend.
Like I felt the personality of New Orleans when we were there.
Okay.
As far as like the specifics, like New Orleans,
we drank like we were there.
As far as the drinks that they served.
Oh, yeah.
ate like we were there as far as the food that they served.
Here, it's like, I'm drinking beers.
We went to the Tonga Room.
Sorry, last time I checked, last time I checked, last time I checked.
We're not in Polynesia.
Okay.
Well, there's a lot of Asian culture.
Yeah, yeah.
But we are not in Polynesia.
No, no, no.
Okay.
I am not seeing the news.
The last three days, I don't know.
Guess what we do this afternoon?
Guess what we do this afternoon?
Get really bay with it?
Yeah, maybe we get a high fee.
Maybe we take a trolley car and go to that restaurant where they serve Irish coffees.
Okay.
Or they say they invented the Irish coffee.
They invented the Irish coffee.
Let's go to Girideli.
And then these waiters or the bartenders have burns all over their hands because they're just...
Do you know the restaurant I'm talking about?
Yes, I know what you're talking about.
And there's just covered and scarred hands.
hands that are just callous because they're they're they're making the coffers.
So we go there.
We do that.
We walk the wharf.
We see if I love walking the wolf.
The wharf is the best.
It stinks though, right?
It's fishy.
Well, it's just a wharf.
Yeah, there's seals like they're out there shit and seagulls.
It smells like a wharf.
It smells like a wharf.
I like the smell of the wharf.
I say, I say let's go do that if you want to feel San Francisco because I'm, you're right.
I love to.
We're in the middle of the hubbub right now.
And it just feels like very NFL-y, which is awesome.
Yes.
But, yeah, you want to see the culture.
Yeah.
Also, I'm a little, like, we haven't gone to, like, a Baycentric event yet, like where E-40 or two short is performing.
I would love to stumble into something like that.
But we are going to go to a show tonight, right?
A show.
Aren't we going to see Green Day play?
Yeah, I believe so.
The Bay Area.
Oh, yeah.
They sure.
They sure are.
That counts.
They sure are.
Yep, Green Day.
and then we might see Shaq
DJing with
T-Pain
DJ Diesel
T-Pain, man, that guy has just a
wall of hits. You kind of forget how many hits
he has. How many does he have?
Dozens, dozens.
Yeah. Everything off a rapper
T-Penka is really good.
T-Pain or
Bruno Mars?
Oof, that's hard. That's hard.
Honestly, that's a tough one.
I think T-Pain.
I think it's a tough one.
too. I think it's T-Pain.
And what does the T stand for?
His name?
I'm sure.
Terrence.
Terrence or something.
Terry.
Terrence.
Terrence Payne.
Yeah.
You don't think it's Troy.
Troy Payne.
Troy Payne.
No, because that's a cool name.
Like, go with Troy Payne.
Troy Payne.
Yeah, Troy Payne.
It's hard to say, kind of, though.
Troy pain.
Troy pain, Troy pain, Troy pain, Tropey, Tro pain, Tropey, Tro pain, Tropey.
Yep, yep.
See?
This is good.
This is good.
Thank you, Netflix, for giving us a show.
Thank you for inviting us to the Super Bowl.
Real man of genius.
I mean, Blake, do you want to do a little bit of the board?
It's been a while since you.
It's hard.
It's hard being in the same room as you guys and doing the board.
Usually we're a Zoom podcast.
But being here, I like get lost in guys eyes.
I just really, like, I don't want to look at this.
Because my eyes are, feel like they're about to fall out of my skull.
But like just being here and able to touch you guys and feel your presence.
This has been a powerful.
week for me. Wiggle. Just wiggle it. Okay. And Bo Jackson can see that. That's in his. Yeah, Bo Jackson. I see, I see Anna, like, really
pitching us to Bo Jackson. Yeah. And it seems like Bo Jackson's handlers or the people that, that work for.
When he came over and he was like, it's a no Jackson. Yeah. I would love that. Well, then he would get it.
It looks like they're yelling at Ann. They're like, there's no way in hell. Yeah. There's no way in hell Bo's going to do this podcast. Well, look, I've been listening in.
They've talked about jerking off a lot.
Yeah.
How porn stars are going to disappear and they're only going to be only fans.
And that makes Adam sad.
They talked about poop.
They talked about poop.
I saw him this morning on Dan Patrick.
Uh-huh.
And he was like, man, don't talk about this kind of stuff enough.
And I'm like, it's all we talk about.
Talk about what?
Like our bodies and our dicks and like, proud.
Because he had prostate cancer.
He'd be prostate cancer.
Oh, yes.
Love that.
Yes, points.
And so he was kind of talking about that.
He was talking about men being outwardly
Well, I don't know if we're talking about
prostate cancer.
We kind of do. Like, we were speaking about
how I didn't go to the doctor
and your doctor stares at your butthole.
My doctor does stare at my butthole
too often. Where is the...
And what does Bo... What would Bo say?
Hey, looks like we'll never find out.
Where is the... Although she is running,
she's fast. She's being very phonetic.
She's pain then. Yeah, it looks like
she has a lot of money that she's slipping
bills to them. That's crazy. And
Meanwhile, Troy Aikman's over there, just eating a vat of nachos.
What the?
He's got, he's wearing his jeans on backwards.
He's trying to look young.
Chris Cross.
Why?
He thinks Chris Cross is still moving the needle.
Sorry.
Why is very strange?
We are the least qualified group of guys to be in this room right now.
You are so dumb.
It's possible.
Biceps are pretty big, dude.
Hey, we've been hanging out with a lot of football players.
It seems like we're getting along.
with these guys. I feel like we're hanging
pretty tough with the bros. And you know what
I think it is? CTE.
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's they've had
old teammates. They've had a lot of hits
to the head. They think I'm Joey Palomalamalu.
Yeah. And they
yep. And they
dove for men. You know,
they've taken a lot of hits to the head and
were their brand of comedy.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which I
appreciate. Thank them for
listening and watching. It was, I will say
It's very cool that in the New Heights podcast.
How just cool Travis and Jason are.
They're legit, chill, nice, cool, normal guys.
Very much so.
And Travis is just like, he almost just feels like a homie.
Yeah, I know.
Feels like we actually might be friends.
And then he is also engaged to the most famous person alive.
Yeah.
Larry Bird.
Exactly.
A lot of people call Taylor Swift the female Larry Bird.
Yes.
How famous she is.
She's the goat.
Yeah, the goat.
Greatest of all time.
She's our person.
Yeah, no, dude.
It makes me like Taylor Swift even more.
It really, after meeting Travis and actually hanging out with him a little bit.
Yes, I will give his hand in marriage.
You have my consent.
I finally give my blessing.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Will Jackson is full.
He's getting closer.
Bo Jackson, big fan.
Big fan, Bo.
We love you, Bo.
I almost name my son after you.
Almost.
My wife didn't allow it.
Adam, you got to shout, I named my son after you and then quietly say almost.
Almost.
I almost named my son after you is something that's not going to get a paternal.
Yeah, you're right.
That was such a fake out.
You see he came.
That was such a fake out.
And I know people are, we've done the Troy Aitman bit, and I think the audience is maybe thinking he's not there.
He is. He's right there.
But Beau was even more right there.
He was literally in a weird way you could say he was actually just right there.
Can we count that as a guest on the pod?
Can we?
Yeah.
He walked.
He walked so.
What we should have done is just turned to camera.
Yeah.
Just turned to camera.
And you're joining a union.
And you know what?
Oh, that girl just got a hit with the football.
What the hell?
You know what?
I loved that.
When I said, I love you, Bo, he just raised his hand and continued walking away.
He caught the kiss that you boom.
Over the shoulder.
Like, basket caught it.
Just, boom.
I'll take that.
Go Jackson.
That was crazy.
I really did.
I was a little shook.
I thought he was coming over.
Yeah.
And then, and then we just go, go, goes down and goes, so what?
We just go.
I would tell my Bo Jackson story.
Oh, good.
Because everybody wants to hear it again.
I would tell the story for the whole time.
Might be the fifth.
And then you tell it.
Then he goes, almost.
Yeah.
And then he throws his headphones at me.
I break my nose.
Yeah, you're right.
And then he goes, Bo knows.
And he mule kicks me.
He 300 kicks me off the stage.
Yes, punch!
I would like to have a one-one hundredth
the amount of physical abilities that he has.
He could do anything.
Yeah.
He can do anything.
It is crazy.
The documentary on him.
On him is incredible.
It was like his childhood friends were like he jumped across a 30 foot ditch.
Yeah.
When he was like 11 years old.
He just jumped over a Volkswagen.
I was like,
what the hell?
He was just doing cool shit like that?
He used to his backyard wrestle.
They told the story about how he found this like long stick and he just dunked it when he was like
10 years old. What is this
30 for 30? It's an amazing
30 for 30 about BoJack. It's called Bo Knows,
I think. But why do you, what is the dunking
a stick? There's just all these legends
of him and it was before. It was a stick.
It was a stick. Dude, he found the
shiniest rock. It was crazy.
I actually don't remember the stick. I swear to God. I swear to God.
But what is it so cool about that? I also didn't
really know what was so cool about it. But he
like came down on the rim.
Like he jumped so high he was able to like
throw the stick through.
Oh.
Okay. And that made the cut.
I saw him be the slinky down some stairs.
Okay? Yeah, no God, I got it. They are kind of fast.
He wants pillow fought. Ten men at once and one at a sleepover. We didn't even sleep.
We didn't even sleep. We were all seven. And he beat us all up with a pillow.
I saw him rollerblade backwards down an escalator.
At one time, he had 15 roly polies in his pocket. He had found in my backyard.
I saw him eat a whole box of nerds.
That's it.
Bo Jackson gave my mom a perm in 20 seconds.
Yeah, Bo knows.
Bo knows.
The legend of Bob.
Bo Jackson pierced the ears of a horse.
He worked at Clares, weirdly.
Bo had a high school job working at Clare's piercing ears.
Bo knows he can do it.
at all.
Bo Jackson was the first person I knew that had a flip phone.
That's crazy.
He could do it all.
Man, it's unbelievable.
It's crazy.
What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you?

We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope.
We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated.

Adam, who are you?
Remember the boom guys?
They're like your guys, your friends.
Yeah, yeah.
There looks like they're here.
Oh, you see the boom?
Yeah, what is there?
The Rizzler?
Is that the Rizzer?
No, the Rizzler is a different family, but they do a lot of collabs together.
Yeah, they, you know, they are the Costco boom.
Family?
Yeah.
Big justice.
Big justice.
They go to Costco and post videos of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They like rate the...
And they rate the double chunk chocolate chip cookie.
Oh.
And they go, it's worth five big booms.
Boom, boom.
And then last year at the Super Bowl, I was in a suite and they were also in the suite.
And then I was like, hey, can we do a video?
And they're like, oh, yeah, sure.
And they're like, I don't, what do you rate the chocolate chunk chip cookie?
And I go three.
And they were devastated.
You're a stupid dumbass.
Because it's five booms.
Everything's five booms.
It has to be five booms.
That's it.
Yeah.
That, I, I, I, I, I,
your algorithm didn't, uh, didn't do that one for you.
Didn't get it on the algorithm.
But I was just going to say it's so funny that we like kill ourselves to like create things.
And then they do the booms.
But at the same time, we're here doing this podcast.
That's true.
That's true.
We're double dipping.
I will say I kind of have a controversial take.
Oh.
And now we said about porn stars and only fans.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Just one generation from now.
We mentioned Costco and Costco has an amazing hot dog.
I'm a huge fan of Costco dogs.
We love the price point.
Is it a good, I mean, it's cheap, right?
It's not a Vienna.
You're right.
IKEA hot dogs kind of a game changer for me.
90 cents, they have a plant-based dog as well as an option.
Like a power plant-based?
And they're about to release a 20-inch hot dog.
Yo, I'm about to release a 20-inch hot dog.
Somebody tonight is going to release a 20.
Some of these guys here, some of these big boys,
going to release some of these NFL players?
I will say, I will say, I've never smelled bathrooms
the way these bathrooms smell.
I don't give a phone.
Oh, dude. Oh, you're saying that kind of 20-1.
I was talking about a huge football player's penis.
Oh, no, I wasn't.
I was talking about an absolute bomb.
These giant men are taking.
I'm pissed now.
I went to the bathroom real quick.
quick. And I quickly did a number two. I'll admit that. It wasn't even that quick.
Yeah, it took a few minutes. Took a few minutes.
It took a few minutes. Fucking disaster, my guy. The seat was hot.
Oh, which you sat on the electric chair. You sat on hot seat. And it wasn't a toto or whatever.
Right. It wasn't a welcoming warmth. The nice. Yeah, no, no. It was the warmth of another man's
and it was hot. It wasn't even warm. Like, you jumped hot to touch. You thought you
sat in someone's lap.
Yeah.
And someone's like swampy lap.
And the smell was, you know, when you look
on a freeway and on a hot day
and you see the hot, the
heat vapors, the vapors were in the stall.
So a mirage to you
is just a toilet seat.
If you're stranded out in the desert,
you don't see water, you see a sea and see.
The cause of diarrhea.
And
and I'm saying that
That's happened a few times.
Yeah.
Not that exact experience, but these bathrooms reek.
They're on go mode.
I mean, they're.
And by the way, turn around.
By the way, I've stood in line for the bathrooms here.
Uh-huh.
I've stood in line.
Meanwhile, the women bathroom?
Empty.
There's empty.
No one's, again, it's a dude fest here.
It's a dude fest here.
It really is.
It's high-speed row bonding.
You know, like, at a bar or whatever, a woman will go into the men's bathroom.
And it's all like, here, here, I don't want to wait in the line.
and everyone goes, all right, whatever.
Sure.
If you were like going to the women's bathroom and you go,
here, here, here, I don't want to wait in the line.
You get arrested.
I'm arrested.
Also, maybe rightfully so.
Yeah, well, you know what Adam's going to do.
Again, the rules are the rules.
Okay.
You are a stickler.
I like you taking a stance on that.
Just saying.
Okay, so over the whole week,
what do we do a weekly take back, double down,
apology?
How do we wrap up in this whole entire process?
You just want to be done podcasting?
You can pick it.
Why don't you decide, bud?
Well, I think that this podcast is actually going to air on the Tuesday after the Super Bowl.
So is there any super bold predictions?
What do you think happened on Sunday?
I bet the Chiefs are going to win it.
Have we not done this yet, by the way?
I don't think we have.
We haven't.
I'm with him.
I think the Chiefs are going to win.
And you can see why not.
We aren't even aware of what teams are playing.
No, no, no.
I think...
Supersonics.
I think the Seahawks are going to take it.
Okay.
I do too.
And you know what?
I smartly did this time.
What's that?
Bet on it.
No, last time, I'm a Chiefs fan.
So last time I was decked out in Chiefskear.
Red.
I was wearing my reds.
Sure.
And then they got their asses, came.
They did.
That was an embarrassing.
They got absolutely smoked.
And I wanted to go to the African Reds.
after party of the fun after party, which was the Eagles afterpart.
Of course.
And people were losing their minds.
And, you know, I see all the videos and like, you know, like Zach Ephron was there.
I'm like, I didn't even know the guy was an Eagles fan, but he's at the after party.
Yeah.
I couldn't go because I'm decked out in my chiefs.
You lose!
This year, I'm smartly.
I'm just wearing blue, baby.
You're going neutral.
I'm wearing blue.
You're going neutral.
The team of both.
Yep.
The color of both teams.
We, we were like the chiefs.
They're just the chiefs.
They can't.
B.
Yeah.
And every smart football person that we met or talked to was like Eagles.
Yeah.
And then the Eagles won.
So I think I'm going to say Patriots.
Okay.
Are the smart football players saying Patriots?
I don't know.
Our cab driver last night did, which isn't a football player and he wasn't smart, but he might have been.
He might have been.
I feel like the Seahawks just seem like a far and away better team.
Yes.
And that's what it seemed like last year.
Some of go Patriots.
I like that.
I like that.
I could see that happening.
I can see them, them sneaking up and taking it.
But my gut says Seahawks.
And you know what?
The Patriots, I've never loved the Patriots just because they were always too good.
And they had Brady and it was a little, it was a little annoying.
But remember when we met Robert Kraft?
Yeah, that's all waves above.
And he, uh, he's like, he just hates us.
And remember when we met Robert Kraft and what a nice guy that he was?
Yeah.
It was like meeting your grandfather for the first time.
Yeah.
You know, he's been, he was away somewhere.
He didn't see his old life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
You know, when you put it that way, I think I know what you might mean.
Well, he was a very nice older man.
And then, and then you're like, he goes to rub and tugs.
He goes to like random rub and tugs.
That's your guy.
That's kind of cool.
He's a man of the people.
I've never done a rub and tugging.
I think it would be pretty, pretty cool.
Pretty cool.
Come here.
What's up?
Come here.
Yeah, I bet it would be.
Come here.
Hey, Bo, watch this.
Come here.
It's crazy that Bo Jackson is running through all these tables to get to us right now.
He's like, I'm going to be a three-sport athlete.
I don't think it's happening.
I'm going to box your ass out.
We really reserved the entire hour for Bo.
I hope you can't see this.
He knows show.
No, no, no.
He no.
He no.
He knows.
It's in the shop.
So what do you think that says about us that every day we got less and less and
guests. I think word was out.
Word was out.
We burned, well, by the way, yesterday, we were like,
I mean, we were turning people away.
It was crazy. It was crazy. That was maybe
too many guests. We have Troy.
No, no, no, no. No, no.
Oh, no, now he's, now him and Bo are talking about.
This is crazy. They just waved us off and he's
finishing chili? It looks like he's got to finish his
vat of chili. Here goes to.
Chili dog. Look at Blake's doppelganger following him
with the camera. There's our guy. There's our guy.
We love it.
Yes.
Love you, Bo.
Love you, Bo.
The best.
Oh, my God.
My heart is racing.
We got now.
God, wait, but we should have just been like, Frank the tank.
Or what they call Frank Thomas?
Do they call him Frank the tank?
Yeah.
He would have.
He would have.
Big hurt.
If we went big hurt, then he would have come home.
He would have been hurt.
He would have.
He would have had a big hurt.
I think he's a sensitive nice man.
You know who had done that?
The guy who put together you on your tip-y-toeos compilation.
We're not that kind of people.
We're nice people.
We don't.
We're supportive.
People say, you got a nag.
Yeah.
Like when you're hitting on people or whatever.
I don't like that.
We uplift.
I don't like that.
I also don't like it.
We love Bob.
When people come and do that to you.
When, you know, when people like, when you're out and about, you're meeting people,
and then someone will say something mean to you to, like, put you on your heels.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
I don't like it either.
Just be nice.
Let's just have everybody be nice.
I like that.
Is there any takebacks and any opposed to the epic slams for the Super Bowl week here?
I think we did it right.
It was good to see you guys.
Yes.
It was.
It's been a while.
And do we talk about the cruise?
Yeah, the cruise.
Oh my God.
We're going on the cruise in just a few days.
This airs February 10th.
We start the cruise February 22nd through the 26th.
That's chaos.
That is insane.
Are you guys, I know Blake's answer, but are you going to drink absolutely every day until the cruise just to pickle your liver?
I'm going to do my best.
I'm going to do my best.
Here's what's cool.
I know Blake is going to go on a cleanse.
I'm finding all sorts of new things out of this cruise.
Apparently,
I thought we were going from Tampa to Cozumel, period.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm learning that it's Tampa to Cozumel and back.
Yes.
That's how cruises work.
They've got to come back home.
I thought you flew in somewhere, took a cruise,
and then it got somewhere, and then you flew back.
You lose.
Absolutely.
The go back sounds awful.
Well, no.
People like being on the cruise, the ship.
But let me ask you, the go out or the go back.
What team are you on?
Well, the go back's kind of tight because we've just all been to Mexico together.
And now we're like taking that.
We experience.
And I also learned that we're getting off the boat in Mexico.
In Mexico, yes.
I thought we were just going to be on the boat.
You can get off the boat.
I'm definitely getting off the boat.
Yes, we're going to Cozumel.
It's going to be awesome.
I've looked into this absolutely zero amount of time.
Right.
But what is there to do?
in Cosmo? Is that where, do I get to see
any kind of like Aztec ruins or
anything in Cosmo? I also haven't looked it up.
Look, as soon as we get back from the Super Bowl,
we're going to do a lot of homework. We're going to dig
deep. We're going to do a lot of homework.
But we are excited about it. We want to see you guys
out on the Gulf of America. We've ran
into a couple people who have
punched their tickets. They're going on
the cruise. That was pretty cool. So
we're going to see them. Is Cruise?com.
Please buy your tickets. And that was a hell
of a week. Super Bowl week
60.
All right.
And that's another episode of.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast.
On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
I went blank.
I hit a bad note, and then I couldn't kind of recover.
And I built up this idea that music and being musician was my whole identity.
I had to sort of relearn who I was if you took this thing away.
Who am I?
