Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about what's the most important bottom line critical thing happening on this planet. Today on This Is Important? We've got freaking dumb. Dumber on the pod today. My goodness.

My spine is going like this. I didn't know movies did it like that. Buckle up. Okay. What is happening here, Jersey? What is going on? Modern Durs Fair over here. What the hell? This is how athletic you are.

You're one of these guys that runs around with you. Weighted vest? Listen, it's time to take it to the next level. I podcast with a weight vest on now. So this is, you work out with this thing. At least. Why did you decide that mid-40s is when you are going to get absolutely shredded? Bucky-ducky-ducky.

Because you're going to maybe take some human growth hormones. Are you in a Marvel movie? As we all know, your dick shrinks when you get older. Yes, I'm well aware, aware. The only way to combat it is to, get smaller. Oh. I just want to party.

And I'm really just trying to maximize. I don't know if you guys are maximizers who take advantage of every opportunity. Are you guys that? No, I wish. Is this about to be a paid, a paid sponsor? What are we talking about here? Maximizer? What the hell?

Yeah, is this a paid ad? Do you know that guy? Am I that guy? So you do work out with this? And what do you do with this? I do. I just thought it'd be funny to be like. I love it.

Because look, hey, man, I'm sitting here. I'm sweating. You know, it's a little extra. I only use this for, like, doing, like, light jogging on the treadmill or jumping rope. I love that. Okay. You need another four inches. If you jump rope with a little extra 20, 30 pounds, it's a different ballgame.

I actually did see on Amazon there is, like, a weighted, it's not a vest, but there's weights that you hang at the end of your penis that is supposed to, it's supposed to, like, elongate you. It, like, stretches you out over. time. Blake Anderson, ladies and gentlemen, how do you do this? How do you even do this? Like,

his algorithm is only pushing for his cock to get bigger. It was texted to me. It was texted to me by a friend. Do you ever wonder, but you don't even have to bring it up. Their algorithm pushed it to you. It was very interesting because you'd think

there would just be like one weight system, but there's several ways to elongate your penis without the use of substance. It's with the use of products like weights tied to the end of your penis. Yeah. I think that that's been around for a while, right? Yeah, but does it work?

TIA Nation, go into my D.S. It works, but when you walk around, you sound like a reindeer with a zingle bells and shit. Let me know if you've been hanging weights off the end of the head of your penis, and if it helps. I think that's such a specific type of dude that would, I mean, your dick has to be so small in order for. Yeah, you're at, you're, you're grasping for straws as they say. I mean, but like, if it's so small, don't you already know? like there's no turning back. But if you're stuck,

if you're stuck at like five or four. That's what I'm saying. I mean, four is really small. That's not bad. Four is very small. What? That seems clutch. If you're stuck at five and you're like,

I just need one more to be like able to sustain a life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't blow my brains out. It's fine. But if you could go, if you're four and a half and you could make it to five and a half, you need another four inches. You're going to find, you're going to find someone to love. love you. But you're going to go to a fishing

store. You're going to get some weights that usually go at the end of a rod and you tie it to the end of your rod and you get a couple more inches out of the deal. Smart points. And if you're driving around listening to this podcast right now and you've got a nine... Yes, points!

I'm going to hold for that. If you've got a nine inch dick and you're driving around listening to this right now? Good for you. That's great. That's great. But we're for you. We're a little busy talking about the rest of us, okay? Mr. High and Mighty, we're talking about the every man or a little less than average man, okay? And if you're driving around and your significant others in shotgun and you're looking at him, like, you hear this?

You hear this? I wonder how many guys drive around listening to the podcast and their wife's in the car and their wife is like, I am so horny right now. Ooh. These guys get me going because we're always talking about small cocks. And this guy, maybe he just has an average cock. He's got to kill balsam. And again, we're not going to say out loud what averages.

Seven inches. But it's got to be the average. That's a monster. Come on, bro. From the back, from the back, from the back. It depends on where you measure from. You measure from your asshole. Absolutely.

Absolutely. I will say I see so many moms walking around in weighted vests now. It is bananas. I like nature's waded vests. Like I lived down here at the, at the beach. And there's a lot of just absolute jocks running up and down the beach with a weighted vest. And that, the old me, I would have been all about it. Now I look at that and I'm like, man, I'd be, I'd be so crippled if I'd put on a weighted vest and went for a run.

Even a walk. These people are going for walks. I would, uh... They're in zone too, bro. Come on, wait a chest. I love it. I love a zone too. I was at the Orange County Fair yesterday.

How? A beautiful place. I love it there. Oh, it's the best. It's the best. We've been damn near going for like 15 years now, maybe even more. I go, I go every year I can. And there was a guy that, you know, recognized me.

I took a photo with him. He listens to the podcast. Awkward. And he kept saying, you look really good, bro. You look, no, bro, you look really good. You look good. Because I know, I know all about your issues and you look really good. And I was like, kind of floating on this.

I'm like, thank you, man. No, thank you so much. And I'm like hugging him. I'm like, thank you. And then my dad is standing right there. And he goes, what the fuck is that about? Yeah. That shit's important.

And he was... I'm with your dad. He was really taking it back. I'm with your dad. Well, it's cool that the community cares. And it was very nice. Yeah, that's super nice. I met the guy at a urinal.

And when your dad says, what the fuck is that about? What is he about? What's your dad talking about? Well, he, he, I mean, he is, he's assuming that I have, like, a sexual thing going on, a gay following or something. And you do. Why'd you make him come? You got to go, Hey, dad, gay people by my cologne, too.

Absolutely. Come on. Gay people buy my clone, yeah. Yeah, that's a big deal with some. Divinity. Gays laugh, if not harder than anybody else, just as hard. Gays laugh hard. I will say, my first manager.

Do you remember him? Eddie October? Sure. Yeah. I think you guys, I don't know if you ever met. Ah, real fake. I met him when you did your taping at the, at the Abbey. I met him.

Yeah, okay. Remember the bags in the basement? Absolutely. When he got out the, what is it, the cat of nine tails? Mm-hmm. I kind of blacked out, but I didn't remember meeting him. Eddie. He's a great guy, gay gentleman, and he was kind of, he was like, oh, the gay community is going to love you.

So when I was, like, 21 or two years old, I was doing shows at the Abbey, and they, like, recorded it. they were doing a gay specific for like the logo network which I think is like Oh yeah I used to watch that That was the big gay sketch show Very funny They were doing like a very

Gay stand-up show And it's all gay guys And they're like we'll put you in In the middle in between the two shows While we're sitting up with a new So the audience sandwich you in between We're gonna Eiffel Tower you, bud

I mean absolutely And then I and then I did it and it was very funny I wish I could find that tape because it was it was me doing my stand up and then

just the gayest crowd loving it and it felt so good I love that the gays be laughing well you've always had a sexual you've always had a sexual set yeah that is I radiate sex

and I'm not talking about your nuts I was thinking you know because I don't know I was talking with Isaac about maybe trying to get back into doing stand-up and get my lazy ass off the beach. Okay. And he was like, yeah, dude,

you should do like a Napagazzi set so we can do clean material because he's making so much fucking money, dude. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't. He is very funny. He is super funny. Yeah.

I don't think I have that in me. I don't think I have the ability to be clean. Because that is not who I am at all. That's how my brain works is it's a very blue brain. You're nasty. And for those people that don't know, blue, blue means working blue. Working blue means, you know, cursing or talking about sex or doing things that are a little off color. Yeah, do-do jokes.

Bathroom humor. And why is it blue? I wonder what that comes from. Why is it working blue? Now I'm wondering why we call it blue. Where did that start? Hey, Siri, why is it blue? First question of the day.

Do you have a guess? Do you have even a remote guess? My guess would be it's off color. Okay. And blue is a primary color. It's my favorite color. Look at Blake. Loose.

Blake's acting like he was on who wants to be a millionaire drop in this. Are you giving me smart points for knowing what a primary color is? Kind of. I haven't watched our episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire quite yet. Oh, yes. Speaking of Smart Points. I haven't either because I'm, I'm so mad.

Oh, wow. I'm still angry. We've got freaking dumb and dumber on the pod today. My goodness. My boys come in hot against me. And Blake was our phone a friend, and we... Unbelievable. We've got a lot to unpack here.

By the way, there was a multiple times that I wanted to use it, and Durs was like, in the last question, I was like, we could ask Blake, and he was like, I know it, I absolutely know it. I know. And by the way, I've had multiple people send me messages that said, I googled it and Robert Redford was considered. But I think the wording was who passed on it. Okay. Okay. Okay. So for those who don't know, Adam and Ders were on who wants to be a millionaire. Anders. Who wants to be a millionaire? That's how it's pronounced. After shit talking the hell out of me about my celebrity Jeopardy. Jeopardy of. appearance. Hey, hey, Blake, keep going. Keep going, man. You are just sizzling. You're burning us. No. You get a shit about being dumb and then this is how you go about it. Honestly, just say words. That's all you have to do. And then we're cooked.

Listen, Adam and Dersh, we're on. Who wants to be a millionaire after shitting on my performance from Celebrity Jeopardy? and how many questions deep did you guys get before you were absolutely six or seven yeah six or seven something like that uh we got it to six i think we got it to like we were going for the hundred and twenty five thousand yeah i mean i didn't watch it back i so it's this is only from my memory which we all know is not to be trusted not great not good uh so yeah i think we're going for the $124,000 question or something like that. Something like that. And, you know, we lost. We lost. You lose. Did we beat the minimum, though? Yeah, we did. We got one more than the

minimum, I think. Did you get any money for your charity or was it a waste of time? 32,000 was what they say. They're like, we guarantee you you're going to get the 32,000 to your charity. So just for being here, we're going to donate $32,000 to your charity, which is pretty fucking awesome. That's great. But we did get up to that amount, right? We love that. Yeah, we got past that. We got 64,000, I believe.

Oh, so 32 each. That's a huge, that's a huge number. Great. I was told by my charity. No, I think 64 each. Wow. That's a big number. I think it might be split 50-50, because Ken Jennings and

Homeboy Matt Damon are not both getting a million dollars for separate charities, right? You are so dumb. Maybe. I don't know. This is big Hollywood, baby. Okay. This is big Hollywood. It is. I was told by my charity,

uh, I paid for 400 kids to learn how to swim. So that's pretty sick. What? That was your charity? Was a swimming? LA 2028 is about to be off the chain. Oh, that's fucking cool, dude.

So wait, how was, how was your guy's experience? Was it, I mean, it's a pressure cooker in there, right? It's, it's not easy when those lights shine on you. I hated it.

It's really hard. I really loved it. I thought it was so fun. And I thought we were pretty funny. I had fun. I had fun. You were funny. I just am like... I think you were funny too, Durk. You're asking me about the months now? Yeah, it really exposes...

Don't love it. Don't love it. It exposes how stupid you just might be. You guys are looking at me a little differently since I got 26 questions correct on Celebrity Jeopardy. And I'm not holding my friend's hand and bouncing ideas off of somebody. That's just coming from the old Noggin. from Blake's noggin. Blake, I was thoroughly impressed by you on Jeopardy. I really was. And didn't we say that?

Yeah, but... And we've given you props and then you just dunk on us when we're at our lowest. And it's really shows... Who are you Brian Dunkelman? Come on. It shows the character of a man

to kick someone when they're down. Thank you, Adam. Whoa. It really does. And Adam's never done that to you. Okay, yeah. I've never done that. That's true.

Well, okay. When he's down, I know my boyfriend. My boy's up. My boy's up. He has abs all year long. He's up. Thank you.

Thank you. And you're right. And I shouldn't stoop to anybody's level. Like, I want to uplift you guys. That's really cool that you guys, you know, made money for your charity. But. And that's what it's all about. Yeah, it's not easy when the lights are on, right?

It's not easy. Yeah, I thought it was pretty easy. I'm just not good at answering those questions. I'm not a smart man. It was those specific questions. The worst was, like, looking at Jimmy Kimmel's eyes and watching him go

oh this is funny they're doing a bit and then seeing the eyes go I don't think it's a bit it's not a bit yeah it's not a bit the one clip I saw was where he was at asked you guys like these months

with this letter these eight months with this letter are the months you can eat oyster yeah it was an oyster thing and I was trying to do the math with you guys because it was like J, R, Y, and something else. But you guys got that one, right? That was sick.

That's like a process of just sitting there long enough on a international television episode going, okay, so January. Right, yeah. And like, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. Like we were showing the work. Oh, my God. November has won. Okay.

Neither of us could just kind of go. It was fascinating, watching your mind's work live and in real time. It was cool. Yeah, it was. And it was really fun. I had a great time doing it. Matt Damon backstage. That was really fun.

That's worth more than $64,000. With a beard. He came right up to us. He said we were very funny, very stupid, but very funny. Yeah. Really dumb, guys. I got a chuck. He came to us like we were being silly, and I was like...

I really loved it. I would say Ders hated it. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was super fun. It's my favorite game show. I really like it. It's very fun. I mean, it's one of the...

of the, it's, it's an all-timer. It's your favorite game show? I can see that. Yeah, that didn't press your look back in the day. No Whammies, No Whammies, No Whamies. Another great, I used to watch that show a lot, too. No Whamies was sick. Yeah, I think Elizabeth Banks is redoing it.

I haven't watched the new version. Sure. Yeah, so I loved it, dude. And my assistant and I, she was like, you got to practice. And I'm like, well, you can't, you know, the questions are going to be brand new. and she's like, yeah, but let's practice. Yeah. And she was giving me the one...

Who's in charge? You're her assistant. The one million dollar questions. I was nailing those. I got like six out of ten or seven out of ten. And I'm like, oh, this I'm fucking crushing. By the way, obviously, we didn't get anywhere close to the million because I think once you get to the million, they want you...

It's better press for them if someone won the million dollars. Oh, really? They want you to get the million. So it's, I think so. I think it's, they get it. It's really, really hard. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I think so.

And then the million dollar question is a little bit easier. You're a stupid dumbass. It's really, really hard and then it suddenly is soft. Yeah, okay. For almost no reason. For almost no reason at all. And then you got to hang a weight off. You got to hang.

That's right. Once you take the weight off, it kind of, but put it back on. Yeah, that makes sense. They're like, we don't want you to win 750, but if you just won 750, You're getting the million so we can get press about it. Let's go. Get some press. Let's go.

So, Durs, did you not like it because you don't like everyone to actually know that you're a little dumb? It's science. Is that why you didn't like it? No, this is the history. We probably shouldn't have done 300 episodes of this podcast if that's the case. This is the history of my life, by the way, is that people think I'm smart for some reason, and then they find out I'm dumb. So this is not new to me. Sure.

This is old hat. This is true to me. this ain't new to me this is true to me who's is that whose lyric is that I don't know I'll have to look at that

No I guess I just am like Why why am I here Why did I do this And the answer is charity Yeah of course And you're with your friend It's fun

But other than that I'm like I don't know I wish you guys Would have lost on the first question That was so good Can you imagine And here's what I'll say

It was a good time But, like, I'm being like, whatever. Yeah, good radio. Contrarian of classic dirs. Not even contrarian. I'm just being like, like, if I had to check a box, fun or not fun, I think I would check fun. But, like, it's like, you know, you're trying to be funny also. Of course.

Yes. Entertainers. And banter. But bantering and doing the months or, like, knowing the answer, like, figuring out the answer. Like, it's just a lot of, like, plates spinning. It was a little. of a dance. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'd like to do it, and this is not an offense to Adam or anybody. I'd rather do it by myself. Oh, here he goes. So that I'm not worried about like, wow, Adam. So the reason

he didn't have a good time was because he had to hang out with you. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. And there's the curtain. And I will say, the craziest part was how like every time you'd get the answer right, the lights would be like, bam, and like the music would fucking blast. And you'd be like, yeah. People would class. As soon as we lost As soon as we lost It just goes Nope

There's no lights Nobody claps And then it's just Jimmy going It goes like dark And you're like Jimmy's just like Sorry man

Just trying to tell story Blake Do you know like When and where to do that Sorry go ahead I'm having fun over here It's just unreal I'm like

Wait for your spots Wait for your spots Fun over here man I'm still in love with the board After all these years The way Jimmy just goes, no, I'm sorry, that's not it. Yeah. And there's no other sounds, and you kind of go, cricket, cricket.

There was no, there was no, I thought like there was like a dumb, don't, boom, right, and then went black. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice. he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months.

The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your entire identity has been fabricated. Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace.

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Inojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal of News and Culture.

As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. from sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news. They're creating these narrative that immigrants or criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Imidavetes,

the trans community is going to push back on that. Colorism, all of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman, AOC. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. But I don't know. I remember when we lost being pretty devastated. Yeah, it sucks. I was so disappointed in myself. Because I was having, we were having a great time, and I feel like we were just starting to get on a little bit of a role. that's when you get a little too cocky.

And then Ders was very confident in the last question. And I didn't know it. So I was just like, it was about Star Wars too. And Ders didn't even seen Star Wars. But I had just seen a thing on Instagram like the day before or the week before that was talking about it. Yeah. The question you guys were asked was like this actor was asked to be. Yeah, passed on being Han Solo.

And your guys's answers were. like was it Robert Redford Redford Pacino Keanu Reeves and that was like obviously not and then and then one other one other guy

Dustin Hoffman Warren Beatty Yeah oh that would have been a sick movie Yeah He would just be fucking chewy Go ahead Yeah just fucking him And you guys locked in like Robert

Redford right or something like that I do I'm too I locked in I know exactly this one And then he even made a joke like Your writers must have the same algorithm as I do because I just saw this online. It's Robert Redford, and I don't know anything about Star Wars. I mean, neither does it. Oh, so he's getting really braggadocio about it.

But also, by the way, I, you know, I would have done the exact same thing. That sounds right. That sounds right. Yeah. And by the way, if we had done a phone of, we had phone a friend left and we had. Here's the behind the curtain to everybody. Guess who's waiting in his house, sitting by the phone, fighting his nails, nervous for my boys, none other than the phone of friend Blake. The Celebrity Jeopardy, 26 answers correct.

I know. And I'm just waiting for the call, baby. And I wanted to pull up for you guys so bad. I just wanted to talk to you on the phone because I missed guys. And what would you have said? What would you have said? What would your guess have been? Because it would have been a guess because you don't know, right?

I didn't know that and I would have I would have leaned towards Robert Redford but I don't know And then we would have just pitched that Because Al Pacino

And then you guys would have came down really hard on me Yeah then this episode Was it all about God blaming you God blessed me man He really blessed me on that one Thank you

Absolutely Thank you Jesus But then to answer the question Of who it was It was Al Pacino Was offered the role Of Tom Solo in Star Wars Which is crazy

which is an insane talk about knocking the entire franchise off its axis what the fuck would have that have been and why do you why why do why I know why I don't think I would have liked it why wouldn't you have liked it I mean Al Pacino he's just in my mind he's just like full on just a mobster I don't know I just I don't see that he brings Harrison Ford is so had he already done Godfather at that point yeah yeah the Godfather have been out. Yeah. Yeah. Chewbacca, I know it was you. Yeah.

To me, he's like a small, he's like a small like firecracker of a guy. Right, right. I see Han Solo as like more of a tall, like stoner. He's kind of a stoner to me. But that's because that's who he

was. Yeah, exactly. Great ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the interesting thing is it could have been like a little guy who you're like, oh, this is just like a fucking turd who drives this fucking shitty. You know what? I don't think Al Pacino is

lovable. I don't think he's a lovable person. Harrison Ford is like very lovable to me. Have you seen what's the most scent of a woman? This isn't a diss. I'm absolutely. I feel like he's just in my mind and this is going to sound awful. He just comes

across as so kind of like regional. He seems like very New York to me. Whereas like Harrison Ford's just kind of like American guy. That's a great call. It starts to feel like Star Wars is set in, like, Jersey, and you're like, whoa, what the fuck? I thought we were in space.

And by the way, we don't know what space is like. It might be Jersey, boys. I'm flying here. I'm flying here, bud. I'm flying here. You never know. This lightsaber, you're waving this fucking lightsaber in my face. That's not an Al Pacino impression.

But if you cast him, why not cast a Niro? All of a sudden it's just. Just, you know, it's Godfather five. May the force be with me. May the force be with you. With you, bitch. Why don't I smack you around a little bit? Chewbacca?

Oh, fuck. Why don't you get a haircut? I think we had a great time on who wants to be a millionaire. I mean, what, I mean, Durs had less of a great time than I did, but I thought it was very fun. Yeah, it's a fun time. Adam, we get it. It was, we get it. You like game shows.

It was fun. I mean, it was cool. And then afterwards, the very funny part is the producer comes up to us. He's the producer of Who was to be a Millionaire. And also Celebrity Jeopardy and Regular Jeopardy and Who When Ben Stein's Money, he said he started with that show. Oh, great show.

Legendary show. And he was like, uh, Jimmy Kimmel. I'm so used to working with really, really smart, intelligent people that I've had this great idea for a show. and I was looking for the right host where we get two idiots and we put them on. They're the hosts.

And then it's like a panel show. You're like, uh-huh. And they're surrounded by really, really smart people. And these idiots have answered the questions beforehand. And then the smart people have to guess with a line of answers what the idiots guess the right answer

to this hard question would be. Right. That's pretty good. And you're like, and where do I figure? Yeah, I'm like, hmm, I don't understand. You're so dumb. No, no. We go, hey, we hope you find those guys.

Good luck. And we just went to our trailers. Yeah, they're right up the road. And he's like, I'm going to keep you right here, but I know who you are. Dumb and dumber over here. I'm telling you. Don't worry, Blake. He was like, and your buddy Blake can be in it too.

Absolutely. He did mention that. Well, the thing about Celebrity Jeopardy is it's three people teams. Or not Celebrity Jeopardy. There's a pop culture jeopardy. Let him cook. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, of three. So that'd be pretty cool if we

got on that. On each little podium thing? Mm-hmm. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And it's a lot of people. A lot of people. And who hosts that? Joe's that. Joe's? Jost. Mm-hmm. No shit. Colin Jost. Yep. So I think that could be pretty cool. I think that could be pretty cool

for us as a trifecta. Let's see where our brains take us. I think the three of us combined. That's why we work. It's 11 inches, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eleven inches on the stage. Maybe combined. God. I hope not. So we do have a big announcement here.

We do have a big announcement here. Oh, okay. Wait, hold on. Wait, wait, hold on. Not only are we doing the cruise, which I've been banging the drum for it. And they say those cabins are filling up. February 22nd through the 26th. We are leaving Tampa to Cozumel, Mexico.

Get your tickets at. this cruise is important.com once again that's this cruise is important dot com i had a little knowledge dropped on me uh about the cruise from isaac he actually mentioned that it's 60% girls and 40% guys right now so for everybody thinking it's going to be a real sea fest how do you know how do we even know that see the letter see how do they know that that staff they've got all the numbers they got all All the numbers, they're running, Isaacs, Isaac's personally checking on that. So we need to. I will say, I've gotten a lot of messages from women being like, I hope this isn't, I just bought a ticket, I hope it's not a sausage fest.

And I'm like, it's not, guys, right now it's not. And personally, I'm offended. I bring on the dudes. Dudes, get on this boat. Bring on the dudes. Get on this boat. It is weird. You know, I, you could see on your Instagram, like, who follows you.

Yeah. I'm like 65% women. I'm pissed now. What the fuck is that about? I don't know. We know, we know chicks. I guess we ended up knowing chicks. We might not be man heroes.

I don't know. What do you think we need to do to get men to think we're cool guys? I don't know. I think we need to lift more. With the cat's pajamas. I don't know. I think my thing on the cruise, and this, you know, this could change depending on where my liver's at, but I think if you hand me a full beer, I have to chug that full beer.

Yep, there we go. And I think that's a thing. But only if it comes from a guy. Well, I feel, no, I mean, man or woman, but I feel like... Are they, they, them? Chugging beers tends to be more of a man thing. Sure. Yeah, no, that's not controversial.

Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that's fair. You've all seen the video, though, of that one girl who slams it open and then slams it, and she's, like, standing on a table. Yeah, she's in the middle of, like, a frat party, and a beer comes out of nowhere. And one guy's just like, oh, my God. Like, it's his dream girl. It's like he just found his wife.

Yeah, that is in which, yeah, you've got to keep that one. I mean, you have to. You've got to lock her down. Yeah, that's your girl for life. Right. Almost too radical. You're going to lose her. Run a white bride, huh?

Jeff Bezos is going to see that clip and say he needs another, run it back. Your boobs are huge. Oh, right. She's too good. Some billionaire's going to swoop in. Yeah. Yeah. Bezos is going to collect you up.

Well, what's the second part of the announcement? I'm sorry. I had to let my dudes know that I need more dudes on the cruise. Not only are we doing a cruise, but we're also... Hello. You know, people were saying, hey, you know, I can't make the cruise. I can't. Do something stateside where we're not going in international waters.

Let's do something here at home. So we've decided we are going to do a show at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. And that's... Have you heard of it? Cosmopolitan. I don't know how anyone else is pronouncing it, but. Cosmopolitan. Have you heard of it?

November 20th. Yes. Cruise on over to the Cosmopolitan. Hey, and don't bury the lead here. This is F1 weekend, baby. You're going to be there anyway. I went to, I went last year. It's a fucking banger of a time.

Oh, yeah. It's going to be a blast. Very, very fun. So, T. in Las Vegas, F1 weekend, it's a gonna be a spicy meatball. It's gonna be a me.

Yeah, that's not be fun. But just to preface, there won't be any meatballs. No, no. I don't want. Well, there could be. Oh, well, okay. Yeah, it is a possibility to Vegas. I think you can get whatever you want. Okay, we just need to talk to our dealer.

Yes. So the announcement, August 18th, so this is going to come after, afterwards. So we are good to go. The artist pre-sale, so you can get the, using password, important, you can get the pre-sale tickets on August 19th

at 10 a.m. So you're going to want to buy your tickets then, and then it'll go on sale to the Gen Pop, August 22nd at 10 a.m. So get your tickets. That's going to be fun. I'm looking very forward to that. Will you explain the artist's

pre-sale to me, Adam? So that's our close fans, people that are die-hards. They can go use the important password and then get tickets before they go on sale to everybody and everyone else. And then you also can get the good seats that way and you can sit where you want to sit. And I think you get to, I think you get a kiss from Isaac.

Yeah. And then I always do a kiss from Isaac. Which is worth. That's worth the trip in itself. That's worth the trip in itself. And everyone, bring your weighted vests. Long be walking around. Absolutely.

Be a little wary. Sheesh. Oh, my God. Hey, well, we're going to be in Vegas together. When's the last time all three of us, the trifecta, was hitting the strip? It might be that from that photo that I took, I took 20 years ago. Oh, yeah. That's damn near 20 years ago.

And that's at the Burgerville, Margaritaville. Yeah. Murder in the building. We're all having a hard time talking today. Murder kill? That's where we murdered that girl. no it was in the margaritaville yes about 20 years ago oh blake was joking no no no that's that's just a joke that's just a joke that's just a joke we didn't murder anyway we have yet to murder

anyone together that's true not yet not yes it was while we were filming um the the hidden camera show i think that's the last time we were no no i went with adam had a birthday party there no you had a birthday party there no your 30th birthday party i was there celebrating andrus holm for his birthday. What? Why would Ders ever choose to go to Vegas? He'd go to like Wisconsin. There's no way.

No, you did. Oh, was it was double. It was double dragons. Oh, it was. You're right, Adam. It was double dragon. And this is why you guys lost fucking who wants to be a millionaire because you listen to Durs when you should listen to Adam.

That's correct. I have a homie who does not mind Vegas and he was like, let's just go. And I was like, let's just go. And you had a great time. And it was... Vegas freaking rocks. Vegas is a good time. One day to two day tops.

Mm-hmm. It's great. Yeah. We're G2G. Yeah. We're gonna have a blast. Oh, yeah. And I've never been...

I don't think I've been to the Cosmopolitan. That's the MTV Suite, right? I think so. Yeah, you've been to the Cosmopolitan. It's sick. It's a very nice hotel. Yeah. It's got a wonderful theater.

Oh, absolutely. The acoustics. Every seat in the house is the best seat in the house. Absolutely. It does, actually. I know a lot of standard. up's performed there that's what i was saying i feel like i saw like too short there or something like or young buck i don't know it was a blurry time but it was very fun trying to act like you're cool dude i'm

seriously i was there at the cosmo i went from the pool too short young buck i was pretty old yellow yellow was was partying in there suddenly susan it was i can't remember it was crazy it was crazy though it was a really good time 50 cents was there it was It was unreal. Do you like that 50 cent? Because it is 50 cent, right? I think it's 50 cent. I refuse to say it that way.

I refuse to say 50 cents. I don't think it's 50 cent. I think he spells it, or the record label, however you want to say it, spells it 50 cent. Am I crazy? With D's? I think you're crazy. I don't think it's 50. I've heard it said that way, but I don't think grown men have to say it that way.

I don't think you're required. It's not like when... Of course, no one has to say it, but if you want to pronounce somebody's word, their name, right? No, sir, I don't like it. Let's see, Fiddy. So apparently it's just Fiddy. I don't think he goes by Fiddy.

Yes, 50. Yeah, it's 5.0, but I'm looking it up here and people say Fiddy is a nickname for rapper Curtis, James Jackson, the third. Of course. I've heard Fiddy, but I don't think we're required to call him Fiddy in the way that Diddy said I'm Diddy now. Blake, I understand that there's no, like,

death penalty if you don't pronounce it correctly. But what I'm saying is that how... Also, Juris, why why are you going off on this right now? Why is this derailing the podcast here? Hey, come on man, we were marching. De-rail? I'm re-railing it.

You want, while we're in Vegas, we should blow rails, bro. Let's be coked up the whole time. Okay. No. Maybe. Maybe not. You know, it would be super funny.

If you did it. That'd be funny if you were. That'd be funny. We're just doing TII live and I'm just hitting the board like a fucking maniac. Just. What else is now? Well, you know how Blake gets that like nervous energy before a show and he comes out in the first like... I just have to poop.

The first 15 minutes, he's an absolute rocket ship. And then he bottoms out and falls asleep. Wait a minute. Check the tapes. Check the tapes, bro. Do you fall asleep? That's Chicago. And that's the Mallort talking, brother.

Other than that, I held it together. Come on. The Mallort was cracking. That was a bad. That was a really, really crazy learning curve for me. Blake took a nappy point. That was a learning curve. I think why that.

stuck with me is that Chicago shows because that was only like the second show of the tour. It was number two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we still were finding our footing of how to do these live shows. And show one was rad. Oh, yeah. Medford was sick. Method. Method.

Method. Yeah, outside of Beantown. But that was kind of in a sort of, no shade, but kind of a shittier theater. And then the Chicago theater. You know that's shade, right? That's shade That is shade

I know when we were there I'm like oh this is cool This is cool But then the Chicago theater is gorgeous It's like regal Yeah but that's the Chicago theater Big class And I was like oh god damn

It's like a regal theater It's like it's basically like going to a regal theater You get your Galactus head popcorn bucket It's off that chain baby Yeah in Chicago theater it's stunning I did someone sent me like a review of our show and they're like hey I don't know if I should go. Oh boy. Because the

review was someone, an older couple who walked past the Chicago theater and were like well let's go see a show tonight and they just bought tickets to our show went inside and then saw whatever the fuck we did. Saw Blake

fall asleep on stage for 17 minutes. Did not say a word. I was looking at the internet. I read the review, and the review actually said the couple loved it, but then they were offended when Kyle tried to break dance. Oh, the tour was funny. I love how Kyle's like, I'm not doing the fucking pot.

Okay, I'll come on the tour, but I'm not, okay, actually, I'm going to break dance. And it's like, hey, man, bring that energy just to the regular pod, or even a third of it or a tenth of it. It was a funny tour, man. It was that, but Chicago was especially funny. That was a funny tour That was a funny tour One day we'll be able to look back And just giggle about it like I am

What was your best and what was your worst? Do you guys remember enough of that? I can't even... I can't. At this point I have to sit down with it And really, really remember. Yeah. I remember off the top of my head

I remember... Next episode. I remember Chor Globis being kind of cool. Sure. Yeah, that was good one. I remember Chor Glumbus being kind of Kind of cool.

Because we were talking, we just came from the Cleveland Steamer, and we were like, what was Columbus called? It's just the fact that we were sitting in front of, like, thousands of people saying the fucking Chor Columbus. I don't know. I'm telling you. I know, but the reason is, because we were just like, we were at Cleveland, the Cleveland Steamer. For those, hey, give them the sound for people that aren't familiar with what Chorg, Chorg is. Give them the sound of a good old-fashioned chore. Oh, yeah.

You got it. Give me a second, actually. That's a Gaggak, $10,000? That's a Chorg. There were so many fun dates. I had a great time on tour, and I'm very, very excited to get back out there. Vegas is going to be a blast, dude.

It's going to be a freaking blast. I hope TII Nation pulls up. It's going to lube us up for the cruise, baby. Oh, yeah. We're going to get a little drunk. And I'm going to be standing like this for the rest of the pod. Oh, yeah. You're going to have a weighted vet.

We should wear weighted vests in Las Vegas. We should. We should. We should. guys wouldn't believe how hot it is. Very weighted. And F1 weekend is absolute mayhem. Yeah, you did it last year, right? And you had a good old time. Yeah. I mean, I went.

And what, what makes it mayhem? Well, it's just, uh, chaos. There's just like, it's just busy. Hundreds of, yeah, and there's like hundreds of thousands of people that come in for the F1 race. Mm-hmm. And then there's just celebrities everywhere. There's, you know, it's kind of crazy. What do you guys think of this bitch? go ahead

what does you say what do you think of this pitch we start F2 oh shit it's more smaller smaller cars

no no no a little bit actually just a little bit yeah yeah that's what we say like how much four inches like hey

it's the F2 it's just a little bigger I will say it's not the most fun thing I mean it's fun being there and like drinking

and seeing the car it's like because it goes past and you're like, you couldn't, you don't even really see the car because it goes so fucking past. But it's not as much fun because you don't, you don't know who's winning. You don't see. Yeah, it's like going to a Cubs game.

You're just drinking and you know baseball's happening, but you're not really paying attention. You should be falling along a little bit. Go to a Cubs game. I feel like baseball is a little easier. It's just background noise. You're, it's a, it's an open air bar where people are saying, hey, foul ball. Yeah, baseball, you can really just kind of check in every now and now and then. I'm just specifically saying Wrigley.

I would love to go to a Cubs game as well. That would be a blast. Good time. We should go. We should do the throw the pitch out or something. Yeah, that'd be fun. I'd hope they'd let me. Yeah, they wouldn't let you.

I don't know. I have no affiliation to the city or the team. I feel, I would feel pretty bad about that. Well, we did it for the Diamondbacks and we have no affiliation there either. Yeah. They've asked me a bunch of times. That was spring training, though. that that's a little different and game over man was was hot the brass and that was spring training

and that was dope yeah okay well you're not about it i'll go with you durst great out of your sense the millionaire guys what would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth unfortunately for mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline,

physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program. and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your entire identity has been fabricated.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Inojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal of News and Cultura. As the longest running Latino News and Culture Show in the United States,

Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating these narrative that immigrants or criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Imidavetes, the trans community is going to push back on that.

Colorism, all of these things like exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman, AOC. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I remember for my first communion when I was like eight years old or however old you are,

I went to Chicago with my aunt. She got us tickets for the Cubs versus the Montreal Expos. And we traveled. Expose them titties. Okay. It's with my aunt. And we traveled all the way there. And it was her and her friend in the back.

And I was in the back of a Honda CRV. Yes. Or CRX or what? Is it the like small SUV? The little hatchback. The hatchback. That's a CRV. CRTitties.

CR Titties. And I'm with you, Blake. Points. I had the worst, worst sunburn ever because I just. Through the glass. in the back for six hours. We were cooking like a hot dog. Just cooked.

I looked like a rotissary chicken. You looked like the girl in the beginning of Big Trouble and Little China just in the back of the fucking trunk. You look like a hamburger big bite at 7.11. Damn. Hang. Cooking. And then we go and they're selling all kinds of merch like outside, like probably bootleg shit.

The best. The Bart Simpson ones. And my parents got me some money to, you know, buy some stuff and I'm like man I gotta caught me something cool hey we got you some money we can't tell you how we got it but we got you some money yeah so they got it for me and have fun you're not leaving town because we're in trouble you're going to a cubs game for fun with your aunt with huge milk missiles and my dad's like yeah just get yourself a cool hat or something and then i got just a bright pink neon pink cubs hat oh boy that i thought was sick and he was very he was very

disappointed in me. That's what it all started. That's why he's asking you about that guy. What was that about, Mr. Pink Hat? Yeah, I bet he wears the pink Cubs hat, doesn't he? Jesus Christ. Why'd you get that? I bet he's got some pink socks, if you know what I'm saying.

Why'd you have to get that one? Wow. Nice hat. Was it like neon pink? Yeah. No, neon pink in the 90s. That's the era. That goes.

It was very tight. That goes. Did you say, hey, Dad, that's the era. I was like, you don't even understand eras. I don't give a shit. I'm eight years. old and I understand eras, okay? And this is the era that we're in.

You were just matching your sunburn. That's not a big deal. Same color. And I don't even remember the game a little bit at all. This is what I just said. Yeah. It's an open air bar. You were drunk.

I was our first time being drunk. You and your aunt were fucked up. I got some allure. I remember seeing Lake Michigan and thinking that we drove too far and we hit the ocean. Oh, damn. It'll do that. I was like, I woke up and I was like, what the fuck? What just happened?

You kept going. We're in California? Holy shit. It's a fabulous body of water. I tell you. The other way, it would have been the Atlantic, Blake. Oh, my bad. I didn't realize which way you were traveling.

Yeah, from Iowa. Fuck. Of course. Well, me too. So I'm very familiar with what surrounds Iowa. And that's my bad. Bitch, spell Iowa. That's easy to remember because when I went to Nebraska, they dropped the idiots out walking around.

Idiots out walking around. and I was offended by that and I was offended by that and I had never heard that before and I didn't like the way people in Nebraska were saying that about them. It's easy to remember because of this thing. Yeah, it's easy to remember

not because you just know how to spell. Some four letter words are hard like iron. I-R-O-N, but it doesn't sound like that. Adam, what else about F-1? What else about F-1? Smart points. Yes, points. I remember having a good time. I can't wait then.

I can't wait. F2. Especially after seeing the movie F1. Oh, I haven't seen that yet. It'll be fun. It'll be fun to have a full, and also like, my body's feeling a little better. Like, I feel like I'm a little more lubed up than last year. Last year, it was a big test for me to go, and I was hurting a little bit, but I powered through, and I did have a good time.

But afterwards, I went to an after party. Seelow Green was performing. Oh, my gosh. Are we talking Narls Barkley? Azza Gonzalez dropped an espresso martini on the on the ground I remember you telling us about that

yeah some cool some cool shit was going down I can't wait I can't wait to And you were just like I can't walk This is the way Yeah I'm like in my My back is killing me And I wasn't drinking either

That was the funny X factor That's not true good Wait Adam did you see the movie F1 I haven't yet No I was so bummed There's a lot of movies in the theaters. I'm trying to see. There's nothing like, when you go see

F1, the movie's fine, but you're like, oh, so F1 is really a lot about just tires. Okay. It's just a lot of like, hey man, you should come in because your tires are a little thin or like

you've got at least two more laps because of those tires. I mean, it's most it's mostly tires. It's the thing that's touching the ground. It's so much tires. Tired based. drama that's what that was what the movie was about i couldn't believe i've actually heard that the show tires is a spinoff of f1 so you have to watch them both it's same universe and who did you hear that from oh i just seen it on my algorithm Shane himself he goes well we just saw the movie we thought

fuck it Shane told me you know a movie you guys have to watch that i watched last night you have to tune it don't tell you to do okay okay have you been hearing any of the press on war of the worlds.

The new one with Ice Cube. Oh, this is not what he's talking about. For Amazon. No, yeah, what are you talking about? Unless Oli's taking a really... I think there's a TV show called War of the Worlds. No, this is a new movie on Amazon Prime with Ice Cube.

And it is a trip, dude. I just say you've got to watch it. I know that writer. I know that writer. It's very interesting. Yeah. And it's a trip. meaning it's that bad or is it is it better than or should we give them a little no blake these words you're using aren't helpful no no it's it's not it's not good but it's like it's fucking weird because the whole movie is i didn't know they did it like that i didn't know they did it like that the whole movie is ice cube acting into like what would be like a computer monitor camera like we're doing now so he was given an impossible task

But also he didn't do it very well But I saw a cool movie that did that with Fuck, whatever that young black actresses name is And she was just like Looking at the monitor the whole movie Kiki Palmer No, no, no, younger, younger She's in Storm Reed

Storm Reed, thank you Oh good, hey, yes points She was in Adam Devine's house party Okay, so she pulled it Because I was about to say I would like to see this movie redone, like, every year with a new actor and see if there was somebody who could... Like fucking

Hamlet? Yeah. To me, it's modern Hamlet. Like, if anybody could make that movie, like, enthralling and, like, really capture... Well, it is hard to do... It's hard to act opposite nothing. Nothing. Yes. This is what... Hang on. I'm sorry. Let me reiterate

here. My brother goes, have you watched War the World? Not the terrible new movie, but the series from 2019 it's really good and scary I'm pissed now it's got Gabriel Byrne from Okay well shout out that show I'm sure it's great

The movie is worth a watch because it's just like Even from like a perspective of like getting Movies made and like You just got to watch it. It's very like it's all after What do you mean perspective of getting a movie made? The easiest way to get a movie made is to be like so It's just a computer screen So Blake you have to when you are explaining

something or you have to have a take you can't just go yo you this is thing man i don't want to i don't want to what's up you got to check it out because that's what's up and you're like well what is up well i don't understand i don't want to but i don't i don't want to like i don't want to give you your opinion i want you to form it i want you guys to watch it i don't like if we all had seen it i would come with takes but i want you guys i'm not going to watch a spend my time i have You know, I have a young baby. I've got family in town. Sure.

I don't want to spend my time watching a really bad movie. You know this. Somebody help me! Yeah, I'm not big on that either. You know what I mean? Like, I'm going to choose to try to watch a good movie. No, but that's what I'm saying. Isaac told me it's the worst movie that's ever been made.

And he's like, I don't understand. No. I don't understand did Ice Cube forget how to act? Because it's that bad. No. Isaac said that. Shots fired, Isaac. Isaac said that.

No, I don't think he's going to represent Ice Cube anytime soon. I think it's fascinating. No, I think it's fascinating. Like, you have to watch it to really understand what I'm saying. Okay, so what is fascinated about it? That's what we're looking for. Yeah. Articulation.

It's all done in like after effects and it's just like it's a dude talking to the screen, but then like a lot is going on around him, but it's all something that someone programmed. So it's just, it's just weird. you're kind of bad kind of bad is that what you're saying i'm going to try and find the storm reed movie it's got to be better i mean you could say something's bad if it's bad blake it's not great it's not great but i did i i was entertained i was fascinated i was fascinated by the by the film blake uh you're such a nice guy and i love that about you um thank you

besides when you uh called me morbidly obese and said i'm disgusting that one time i didn't do that i didn't do that in oklahoma city i didn't do that that yeah you remember exactly where we were i didn't do that i do think what blake's talking about is that it does kind of like is the word encapsulate modern times where it's like everything goes down on the screen like you can go through some serious drama on a text where you get a text from somebody and go holy shit how do i text back i text back or do you text someone else and then they go don't worry about it blah blah and then you text them like whatever the thing is Blake, is Ders actually explaining what you didn't have the words to explain?

No, Ders is like actually, now I'm feeling like the executive and Ders is pitching the movie and I'm like, dude, he's right. We should make this movie. And I could see like that's where they approach it. That's not what I took away from it. But, okay, so even if I'm pitching the movie, you think I'm pitching the movie, but you watched the movie because someone else pitched it, sold it, filmed it. Well, that's how they definitely sold. that they're like everything like emotion everything is through text like we will be able to convey everything and no shots fired against ice cube because i do think in certain certain projects

ice cube is great yeah america kkk's most wanted higher learning i don't know if you would be the actor that i would pick it's an interesting choice be the guy that acts opposite a computer screen that everything you you try to get daniel day lewis or someone it's got to be the guy from girls who was also like Darth Vader or whatever. Yes. I want to see that guy's face. Adam Driver. He's got a lot of face.

He could do stuff. No, that's what I was saying. I would love to see this movie. I'd love to insert actors into it because I don't know who could captivate me through this film. Because it's a lot of Ice Cube watching like people die on the computer and going like, oh, oh. Okay. Hey, never mind.

I'm a big fan. But it happens. Dude, I'm going to go watch it now. I got to go. Like you can only go like, oh, shit, oh, so many different ways. According to who? Again, I don't. Blake, just stick to it to save me.

You got to watch it. I'm not willing to completely run it over because it's, I think it's like, you know, throw it under the bus. Hey, Blake, it's fine, dude. You're a nice guy, but also this fucking vanilla, there's nothing that you're giving us. No. It doesn't make for good podcasting. No, you say that all the time. You say you have to take these strong, like, like, a take, a point of view.

I do have a take. That's what comedy is. It's having your point of view, your hard take. You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. No, but comedy isn't just like, I am super anti or, like, I am super love. It's like you can, you can deal in nuance, which is where I'm. Oh, is that what that? Man.

Nuance comedy. Is that what this is? This is really pulling apart. And we say you have to watch something and we say why. And you go, you just have to, dude. I didn't know movies did it like this. And it's nuanced comedy.

Any take backs or nuances. For all my borders out there who really deal in nuanced comedy, thanks for hanging with me, man. And I can't wait to see you in Vegas for a little nuanced comedy and on the cruise for some real nuanced comedy. It's going to be so nuanced. Vegas, November 20th, 20th, 2025. Oh, yeah.

The Cosmopolitan. In Las Vegas. Oh, my God. It's going to be fun. You guys, can't wait. I have news. What? What's that?

I'm getting behind the wheel of another Volvo. Wow. At F1? At F1? Maybe I'll talk to Volvo. I'll snuck at it with the Swedes about it. Okay. It's very exciting times.

It's time to get back. I'm happy for you. Back to Basic. I feel like me again and I just wanted to let you guys know So you're you decided you're against electric vehicles finally, thank God, welcome back to the

Hey, he didn't lock in the wrong answer on fucking millionaire, dude. Hey, have you ever heard this? Two things can be true at the same time, Playboy. Not on Millionaire. Hey, that's my take back. My take back for the week. Okay, we're mining for those batteries.

Come on, the grid. We're going to, we're mining for the batteries, and then we're going to use those batteries to build homes. They're going to stack those batteries up in the future. Oh, that's tight then. I didn't know them. I will. By the way, I don't know if you can see the sheen on my face.

You're sweating bad. Is 100% from rocking this fucking fat. You decided... You're wearing a weighted vest. You decided to sit here and wear a weighted vest. My spine is going like this. That's how you started the show. Yeah, your screen went black and we're like, oh, did we lose durs?

And you are laughing. You're like, no, no, no, I'll be right back. And this was the big reveal. I know how it works. I've seen Blake put on sunglasses and you be like, hang out, let me get my sunglasses too. Oh, your shirt's off, my shirt's off. Well, let me reveal.

I was also wearing something weighted the whole time. And it worked, it worked. Let's just say, I've gone from four to five and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm feeling pretty good. You know what we could do at F1, we can. Put weighted shit on our dicks? No, well, maybe, I'm sure. You know, it's Vegas.

You can do all kinds of fun stuff like that. You dare him? You dare him? Hello. We can race or get in the cars and they will drive us around the track. Like, it's 200 and something miles an hour. Hello. Let's do that.

You sit on their laps or what? Yeah, I think so No, they did Or I don't It must not be in an F1 car There must be some other type of car Right, because Is that Lewis's Hamilton?

I remember the one Remember when we went to NASCAR And they gave us a It's a joke about a stick I don't know that one They gave us a They gave us a lap around the track And I think it was in a

I think it's something similar like that Of like the whatever car Is branded for the event But yeah But I know Last year I know my friend Nina Dover did that and she was like

it's actually really fucking crazy I'm sure it's terrifying bro how insane it is rocking yeah I mean you know me

I drive a Volvo it's terrifying bro unlike a NASCAR where you're like you're looking ahead and you see the turn and you're like okay this is like

whingo wingo oh now I get it oh yeah F1 they're like through the city right they shut down the city

those sounds spell it all out for me. That's the whole thing about F1, right? They build the track through the city. They shut down the streets. Yeah. It's like lots of turns. It's truly, it's truly nuts. It's going to be fucking cool, dude. It's going to be great. So that is in November 20th, the week before Thanksgiving. Just before Thanksgiving. So, you know, get it in.

I feel like any time my wife is like, hey, here's so, let's plan this thing for November or December or January or February, I'm like just fully zone out.

They're in 2027 and you're like. It's not this weekend or maybe next weekend. I don't care. Yeah. We'll figure it out. Boys will be boys, huh? That's all, yeah. Guys, come on.

If that's you, get on it. That's you. Get your boys on it. Tell them, buy the tickets now. We don't have to think about it when it's too late. Or if you're like the weird or. organizer guy of the friend group. You know, like, there's the leader, and then there's a couple guys.

But then there's the one guy who lines everything up. He was actually like, okay, well, Chad made the decision. Now I'm the one that implements the decision. And that's always the guy you got to kind of watch out for, right? He's a little too organized, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I like that. That's how we're talking to you, okay? Yeah, get your boys on board.

That is how camping trips get done. We need our bro. Which is why we have never been on a camping trip together because none of us are willing to, Be that guy. Yeah. Be that guy, pal. Any take backs, any apologies, any epic slams? I take back my answer on who wants to be a millionaire.

I feel horrible about it. That's big of you. That's all right, dearest. I forgave you immediately. I gave 400 kids swimming lessons, everyone else. They're drowning. And my, I guess I didn't call out the Children's Miracle Network. Okay.

And that was my organization or charity. And, you know, they are a network of children's hospitals that I've reported, and I am a brand ambassador for, so I love it. I love children's hospitals. I mean, it's nothing like the Pools and Hot Tubbs Foundation. Yeah, I mean, they got to work on that name. I think it's a worthy cause, but that name is... It sounds like you're selling hot tubs.

I think it's a legal thing. I think it's a legal thing. Because I was like, I have to say that, and they're like... And they're like, yeah. Anyhow, yeah. Yeah, so people don't realize that these children's hospitals are fully funded from donations and shit. That's the one we went to in Salt Lake City, right?

Well, that is one of them, yeah. Yeah, that was a great, dude, we had, that was an amazing experience. And they even sent me a, they sent me a Christmas card. They're really sweet. Like the whole, it's a great, you didn't get one, yours. You probably. It's just, just Christmas. Interesting.

Yeah, in Salt Lake City, we went to the Children's Hospital there and, like, I think we read a book to the kids and then, like, played some kind of game, I think. I want to say we did a game. show there. Yeah, we did some kind of game show. Oh, yeah, it was. It was like Disney trivia. Are you smarter than a fifth grader and we're not?

I think I lost that one for us. My bad. That was a good one. And we're not. I guess, you know, I guess I will take back my medium take on War of the Worlds and just come out and say that. Yeah. You're non-take.

All right. Yeah. I thought it was pretty good. Yeah. You like the movie. You thought it was creative. I mean, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed my time on the couch,

looking at my phone and having it on in the background like a Cubs game. Ooh, that's a trip. That's a real trip. That's a good way to watch a film. Yeah, don't see weapons. Watch that movie. Okay. Yeah, I stand by everything I said today.
