Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally. And I'm Hurricane Dabolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast, Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be.

I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves.

Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delaroach on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHart Radio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This Is Important.

I'm mainlining chili with the rest of the people of Generation X. This was an absolutely grotesque, wild smell. If you're woke, then I'm hitting snooze, okay? Let's go! We're back! Oh, dude, look at my hat. We're back. We're back.

We're back. The coaching staff is back. Whoa, what staff is back, dude? Who didn't get fired? We're back, bitch. We're back. Uh-oh. Are we?

That's all right. You all ready for this? Come on. If you guys had to coach a bunch of college boys, what team would it be? And you can't say gymnastics. That's my... Oh, you're saying... Oh, you mean what sport it would be.

What sport? I thought you were saying what team. What school? Go big red. Go big red. Nebraska. Yeah, I guess I mean what sport. And then you can say what's cool if that floats your boat.

I would love to coach ping pong, table tennis. I think that would be sick, dude. Okay, but it's also what you would be the best at, right? Is it? Well, maybe I just know the game. Okay. I guess you know. I mean, you're not very good at ping pong.

What? Dude, you're fine. I'm pretty good. I'm as good as I am, and I'm not that good. I think you're pretty good. Yeah. Okay, well, thanks Blake. You got it, man.

I think you're pretty smashing, baby. So Blake would do ping pong, a thing that almost surely doesn't exist. It's in the Olympics, so they're- You would really do that over, like... What? you want me to coach men and a football game? That's not going to happen. Yeah.

It's not going to happen. At Miami and just fly around the country with a bunch of dudes. Come on. I want to see you on the line. I want you charging for that ball, dude. Is that how you talk? You don't even have to talk like that. It is.

It is kind of how he talked. He was doing an impression of himself and it was pretty spot on. I'm like, why are you teasing your smell? That's not, you know, it's nothing wrong with that. I don't know. I mean, I feel like Adam, you're not coaching basketball. Not head coach. You used to be on the staff.

Oh. Like the hats. Yeah. Well, if I'm on the staff, then I'm basically a mascot, you know? Sure. So then it could be anything. I mean, college football, that's where it's at. That's the most fun.

We love it. And if you're just way down on the bench, you're the last chair, they're like, yeah, I guess we put another chair. You're basically like the down-sender kid they allow it to, like, do laundry, you know? Oh, okay. That's who I am. Do they even allow that anymore? Yeah, they do.

Or do they just dress them up like Batman and make them do laundry? Is that a thing? Who are we referencing? Did they ever do that? No, they like dressed up some kid like Batman and like for Make a Wish. Oh, no, I remember that. That was something cool. That was like this little kid who was like terminally ill and then they like let him pretend to be Batman.

It was fucking cool. No, we're talking about Down syndrome kids and their ability to do laundry, which, no, I'm talking terminally ill children. Yeah. Yeah. Right. What about being the guy who he like, there's two guys that are clutch. The dude who unspools the like headset line for the head coach, right? And then there's the guy who just holds onto the belt of the coach who like pulls him back. Oh yeah. I love that. Where like you kind of, I feel like that's who I would be on the sideline. It's just kind of holding onto the coach for dear life. Holding the coach's belt. That's sick. It reminds me of like like a chick on a motorcycle just. In the belt loops. Oh, so hot, dude. I love when a chick holds the belt loops on me when I'm on my bike.

Dude, I remember when I rode a motorcycle for the six months and crashed it 11 times. I remember I didn't even have my motorcycle license yet. I maybe have never driven a motorcycle, and I rented a motorcycle in Hawaii. Hell yeah. from Turtle Bay for the north shore of Oahu. They just let you take one. They were like, hey, can you ride one? And I was like, yeah.

Pull back. Well, you're famous. You got this. They're like, you got this. I crashed it immediately. But then Chloe. They never even found that girl's body. No, Chloe was with me.

She, uh, oh, wow. Yeah, we both fell off. She put her life in my hands and she absolutely shouldn't have because I did not know how to drive a motorcycle. She said, do you know how to drive a motorcycle? And then I said, do you know how to find out? Do you know how to ride? Let's go.

You said, we'll find out. We'll find out. And she got on. And she laughed thinking it was a joke. It wasn't. It wasn't a joke. Oh, you're so silly. And what are you guys, I mean, because it's Hawaii, I imagine you guys are like sleeveless.

We got a few mitis in the system. How are we going down? I think there is photos. I think I was wearing jeans. That a boy. T-shirt. They made us... That a boy. I think as part of the deal, to

give me the bike, they made me do like a full-on photo shoot. Oh, nice. It's science. This shit's important. The Instagram account will find these photos. That person is so damn good at finding deep-cut photos. Can we meet her? Investigated. Met her on the tour? Yeah, I think we've met her. Yeah, she was

cool. Shout out. Shout out to her. Hopefully she's coming on the cruise. I think she is. I think that's guaranteed. She's going to find these photos because they made Chloe and I like pose for a bunch of photos. I see you're already doing your posing face. Like for a bunch of photos. Yeah, you definitely.

Well, you're on a motorcycle. He can't even talk about taking pictures without changing his face. Dude, he's built for this, bro. You gotta look cool when you're taking photos. Oh, dude, Adam, that reminds me. Remember when we were in New Orleans and your photo was on the wall? What bar was that? Lafitte's.

Oh, Lefitte's Blacksmith, yeah. Oh, man, it's such a good photo, too. Oh, dude. I'm also black out. It's really good. That photo was, I think we've talked about this. We must have. It's during the red dress run.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's where everyone, like hundreds and hundreds of people run through the French quarter wearing a red dress. There's some significance to it. I can't remember what it is about. But we were there for a sad event. It was Chloe's grandmother's funeral. So we were there. And then this is after the funeral.

We're drinking the pain away. Freak me see you. Someone gives me... Where someone gives me... That's a rough funeral. Let's get some absinth. Let's have some... Let's have some absence.

This one's for grandma. They gave me a red bandana. So I tie this red banana around my head, like two bucks. Yeah, you look sick. So backwards then with the thing in the front? In the front, exactly. And then we go to Lafitte's. If you're at Lafitte's Blacksmith in New Orleans, it's at the end of the French quarter.

It's delicious. You'll see it. It's at the front, in the front right as you walk in. it says Adam Devine but then it says the name of the movie that you know me from, Pitch Perfect. It says Adam Devine, Pitch Perfect. No one else

of the hundreds of other celebrity photographs that are hanging up in this bar say the name of what you know them from. Nicholas Cade, you know what you know him from, man. Come on. Well, sure, but I think there's other...

You wish you were famous enough that they didn't have to? I kind of wish. Or just don't... Are there other people from Pitch Pitch Pitch Purcher. with their photos up that it doesn't say pitch perfect? I don't know if anyone else is saying. I don't know if she's hanging. Is she?

Does it say from pitch perfect? Not at all. I don't think it does. Yeah. Yeah, it was a bummer. It kind of was like, well, then don't hang me up. If you have to explain. Okay.

Well, I have my picture up at Kinder's Meets in the Bay Area. And I was. Is that where Kinders is from? It definitely is. Yes. Shout out. Local legends. Well, they have their barbecue sauce in stores.

It's very. Delicious. You've got to tell you. That's where I've seen. You got a shout out to Kinders, love them. But my picture is up there, and I was wearing a hat backwards. So evidently, that makes me unrecognizable. So they had to put my picture in the corner from workaholics so they know who it is.

Oh. But still, I feel very honored to be up there next to E40. Thank you so much, Mr. Kinder. Yeah, I feel like they could have just said Adam Devine. I do look insane in the photo. You do. It's very good. If you're in New Orleans...

Because I'm drinking like a purple drank, so my lips are all like purple looking. I was intoxicated. It might be like a believe it or not, that's Adam Devine. And they're like a different Adam Devine? It's like, no, Adam Devine from pitch perfect. Like, this is the one we're talking about. Yeah, they're like, oh, Jesus, he looks horrific. Durs, do you have your photo up in any establishments?

Or are we still waiting for the day? I'm up at Mustard's last stand in Evanston, Illinois. Okay. Shout out. Go off. That's big time. That's big time. I love that.

Local. That's all I want. That's it. We've been there. I'm up in some place in San Diego where I did this, like, photo shoot. It was one of the very first ones I think I ever got asked to do. I forgot about your modeling days. Yeah.

So it was like the first solo magazine I ever got to do. I think Isaac got me the gig in like every single one of the pictures. I'm like shirtless in like some kind of a suit. They're the worst pictures. I hate them. What? Shirtless in a suits? Yes, like blazer, no shirt, it's bad.

They're like plaid suits. It's bad, dude. It's terrible. Okay. So hopefully those don't resurface. No, that shit's important. It's going to dig those out the crate. No, yeah.

I think they're very readily available. They're terrible. Yeah, I think I'm up at Prince Street Pizza in New York. Oh, okay. Hell, yeah. That's my, they got one in Pasadena. I think I'm probably up there too then, Because I'm also, there's a Prince Street now in Orange County.

Hello. Go Prince. And someone just a month or two back said, Oh, you're hanging up at the Prince Street pizza. And I'm like, I've never been in that establishment. So I think they just took the photos from the New York. Scanned them. Scanned them in?

Yeah, Scand them. Pizza pizza. I don't order from anywhere else now. Okay. I mean, they're pretty great. They came to Pasadena and I'm like, go time. Okay. I like that.

Yeah, they're great pizza. I am a little bit like, then if you're the Pasadena location, you have the pizza, that's enough. You don't need to take the photos. You've got to start your own photos. Yes, yes, okay. You know, when someone comes in of note, of course. Then you take your photo and they came into the Pasadena location.

You can't take the New York photos and bring them out here. I like that. That's a cool stance. I like that. Yeah, it's a little fake out. It's a little bit of a face. Okay. Yeah.

Also, like, part of me is also like... What? I mean, I guess I do like some places hang up pictures of people who have visited there, but at the same time, I'm like, what is this for? Who cares?

Yeah. Well, it's for children. Is it? Yeah, it's something to look at. Yeah, children are like, look, there's James Gandalfini in 1997. Well, no, it's for people like me, too. If I see that John Claude Van Damme has been there,

I'm going to go back. Like, that's going to get me there. Yeah, that's kind of cool. I think I like when they have the drawings of the people who've been there. Oh, that's cute. They do like the caricatures. Uh-huh. I don't know.

That's a little more fun for me than just, like, some crazy picture where they're like, we have to explain that this is Blake Anderson and Adam Devine from Pitch Perfect. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Dry cleaners is really cool. Dry cleaners, it's funny. Dry cleaners, it's funny.

It's usually like news people and then Jeff Gold. Yeah, Jeff Goldblum. But like, I feel like LA does that a lot. You'll walk into like a dry cleaners and there's just old photos. You're like, oh, okay. So Sid Caesar used to come in here. Right. Huh.

Wait. And Adam, I know you, I already know the answer for you. But like, when you moved to L.A. and you saw like headshots up in dry cleaners, were you like, someday, motherfucker? Someday. Someday. I have something worth dry cleaning. I mean, I'm sure.

Were you like, yep. I can't wait to be up in four seasons. cleaners on Laurel Avenue. I can't remember thinking that, but yeah, absolutely I did for sure, without a doubt. I'm a psychopath. You were like, you might want to make a little room over there. Yeah, excuse me.

They're like, dude, all you do is dry clean one snap button flannel every 10 months. We can't put you up. You're giving us $5 a year. Yeah, I don't wash the snap button flannel. I just keep wearing it until I dry clean. me guess. You got another gist saying on the Lucky You jeans. It's not coming out, pal. I'm sorry.

Hey, guys, is back. He's back. He's back. Lucky you. Yeah, so you're going to want to move the fifth lead from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dallas reigns, the weather guy here in L.A. Can you put me next to Mark Brown, please? Thank you. Be right there. Thank you.

Dungay. No, I remember seeing it at that Ambrose Liquor that was Oh yeah Right down the street from Blake and I's home in Lake Hollywood We did build a home We had a home That was our home.

Yes We built a home together Man that was such a fun house I was talking about that house recently It was the house that Blake and I moved into Right after we left the workaholic's house And we rented a truly dumb like young TV star pad

It was silly It was very fun a sunken fire pit with Shag carpet. Yes, that was filled with fur. Yes, it was white fur. Andres puked on it the very second he

laid on it. The stain never removed. He even got the thing. I got a thing from like Home Depot to like shampoo it out. I felt bad. Well, it was it was literally Ders came over. He's like, we got a christen the new pad. And by the way, Mike

By christening it, it just meant Durs was going to crash. He was going to blackout drunk. And the three of us were going to get blackout drunk with no, it's not like we had a party or there was like we had girls. No, no, no, no. There was nothing fun or cool happening. Yeah. It was us getting blackout drunk. It was just Blake DJing from an iPod.

Yeah. Yeah. And Ders puking next to where he's laying, which seems to be a thing. Yeah. He's kind of a sleep puker, which is very dangerous. Yeah. To you, bitch. Very dangerous.

That's how Jimmy died, man. Pute can't get me. I hope that doesn't haunt me. And that house, that house was truly fucking sick. That was such a fun house. Yeah, it was tough. It had dinosaurs on the roof. I remember one of our proudest parties we had a Panda Express.

We got a bunch catered. And we had so much orange chicken that it fucked with like my sinuses. That's balling, dude. Yeah. That's real baller shit. Wow, dude. I'll tell you guys when I peaked. Notice me, Sempai.

Notice me. I mean, it is kind of downhill from there. Yeah. Kidding me? Remember when Goons, my old assistant and best buddy, he had a birthday party, and he wanted oysters. So I got something like six dozen oysters, and we shucked them there. Oh, yeah.

At the beginning of the party, and we're all eating oysters in the kitchen. And then we all get so drunk, and it's a huge party. There's well over 100 people. We just leave the oysters and the oyster juice out all night until the next day. And that next morning, when I walked into our kitchen, it smelled like a whorehouse. It was like, it was revolting. It was really foul. You know, like sometimes the next morning after a party,

Oh, fuck, it was gross. It was like beer. It smells like somebody threw up in the shag carpet. Yes, it's a little sticky or something. This was an absolutely grotesque, wild, wild smell. Yeah. Oysters shouldn't be allowed at parties where you get that drunk. I feel like that's a little more refined.

Who's in charge of that? I think oysters should be allowed at a party when that party's catered and they're taking it away. And someone's just going to say it's got to be someone carrying it and passing them out. Yes, and it's clean. Someone's passing out, all right. It can't just be the random homie. It's gone. It can't just be at one of our degenerate, dirty parties.

Bro, I just scrape these oysters off the fucking ground, dude. Let's get at this. Well, we did, we had a hookup at, like, it came from a proper place. And they were our eyes. But, uh, but, uh, but we did not clean up after ourselves. And so I know you eat oysters like. they're like when you shuck it that's when you like pop off the top

is that what we're saying? Yeah when you use the little what's the little knife called the little special knife oyster. Shucksters. Oyster shucker. Do you, how do you eat a

clam same way? No, you steam them and they open up. Yep. Okay. And then, but I don't think you're supposed to eat raw clams. Look the cats. Is that right?

I don't know that. I don't think clams are to be eaten raw. I think oysters are clams you gotta cook. I don't know how real that is, bam. I'm also guessing. Yes. Give me that raw clam.

But I've never heard people eating raw clam unless they're talking. Yeah, you're right. Thank you. Okay. You might be right. He likes his clams steamy. Hey, man. Wait, what?

No, no, no. Uh-oh. Jeopardy. Yes, you can eat raw clams. Huh? They are a popular delicacy in some cultures. What? But what cultures?

Yeah, these are like iron. stomachs. It says not the cool ones. Yeah. Is this like Antarctica? No, no, no. Raw clams. Yeah, yeah.

You can eat them. It says very much. Very much so. Raw clams? Served on ice just like, just like oysters. I'm just looking for any explanation. He's like, yeah, yeah. Raw clams.

But they're so small. Clams are small, right? Yeah, dude. How big are oysters? Oysters are big as fuck. Yeah. They're huge. But also they can be small.

You don't know shit. Blake, you're just talking to you. I do know shit. Oysters are big. Clams are small. Hey, and can I say real quick, what? I know. Hey, what's a rocky, what's a rocky Mount Oyster?

That's balls. Those are testicles. Okay. Okay. This is important. Thank you. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankawali. And I'm Hurricane DeVolu.

It's a new year. And on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about.

Sleep, stress, mental health and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is. connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help?

I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast. for you. Listen to Sacred

Lessons with Mike Dolorotcha on America's number one podcast network, IHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike DeLocha and start listening on the free IHeart Radio app today. Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast.

Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight,

and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy, and compassion. If you want to be very much, they're not in compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

Listen to how to money on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So Blake gave us so much shit on the last podcast. What? And I'd like to apologize for having to do a best of, but life, man.

You know, sometimes it gets in the way. Life comes at you. Life is a highway. It's a highway. We don't like to do it. We like to come with this hot, hot heat once a week. And we're sorry that we had to give a best up. But the week prior, when Blake was saying and giving us shit for how far we got in a millionaire, who wants to be a millionaire?

Oh, boy. Yes. I finally watched the episode. Oh, okay. You watched your millionaire episode? And we did great. We got very far. We got, there was four more questions to the million dollar question.

Mm-hmm. that's pretty damn far Okay And wait So four after We would have gotten that Because I only watched The last two questions we got

Why the hell didn't you guys just watch You guys were only on for like 30 minutes You couldn't sit through the fucking ep My kids and wife were watching it When I came in and I was like Oh here we go And then I watched those fucking knuckleheads after us Got the easiest questions in the world

What? Helen Hunt come on Helen Hunt was on Yeah She had easy questions. I love her. Now, do you think it was easy because you were sitting at home watching it? Yes, it's always easier from the couch. Come on. Everybody's a pro on the couch. No, dude. Listen to the complicated, look, I'm not saying that the month one with the oysters is a hard question.

Okay. But it takes, like, actual deductive reasoning of, like, going through all the months by letter to, like, do it. as opposed to just knowing a thing. Do you know what I'm a dumbest? Yeah. Well, I mean, some people know what months to eat oysters if you're super familiar with the oysters. Yeah.

But the question is, what letter? Which, by the way, I did know it. But also, that seems like a super easy question to me because you can deduce it. It's like simple. But that's my point. No, that's my point. But it takes, like, you need to do a bunch of steps

as opposed to just knowing it or not. Like a super easy question. Yeah. Like how many stars are in the American flag? Right. You should just know that. How much? You should just know that.

50, you dumb fuck. What? I thought we're at the 51. I thought we added one. We're not getting greenland? I thought we added one. Come on. You are so dumb.

You are so dumb. Trump is my star. You are so dumb. No, I just, and by the way, for sure, yes, it's easier to get from home in the comfort of your own kitchen. But the questions were, easier. Yeah, maybe they kind of... People were texting me going, why did they get the softballs?

And I go, hey, I got to watch it. I love this. Dude, I love doing game shows. I love doing games shows. I love doing games shows because you get... I feel like more than even when I'm on a show. Like, when it comes out, I get people in, I get a dozen

text right away of people being like, oh shit, that was a hard question, or I can't believe you didn't get that. or whatever it is, they'll reach out. But is it definitely over 40 demo? I mean, yeah, my friends, so we're right around there. But I mean, like, it was like my parents' friends were like fucking blowing up. Yeah, like I was talking to my aunt for the first time in a long time.

It was really cool. Traditional TV watchers catch it. Nobody younger than me reached out to be like, hey, I was flipping channels and came across a millionaire, you know. Yeah, but we didn't flip channels. We just watched it on Hulu. That's true. But TV, this should just turn off.

God damn. This is the way. Do you even know anyone younger than you? Yeah. Like, don't say your kids. How many, how many? What do you, I don't even understand. Like, do you know any 20-year-olds?

Do you have any 20-year-old friends in your life? Friends? Yeah, man. Well, I'm sorry. I realize you don't consider people friends. Well, I don't have, I don't have any. I don't have any, like, friends, but I've, like, worked. I've been, like, I've been in, like, casts with people who are young.

I'm going to me and all that. I'll get lunch every once a year with a few people who I've worked with before who are in their 20s or early 30s. Wow. That's cool. That's actually better than I do. Well, I just throw on my wide leg jeans and I say, let's go get a breakfast taco or something cool, a kimchi sandwich or something. I don't know. I put on my baseball hat backwards.

Oh, man. That's pretty sick. Young go hard. I like that. And I say, hey, let's go. to a vegan restaurant. Yeah, that's real cutting edge stuff. Yeah.

A little vegan Rubin. I'm mainlining chili with the rest of the people of Generation X. Hell yeah, dude. Remember when we, for Kyle's birthday, Kyle was in town and it was his birthday and we were all like, hey, let's go get breakfast for Kyle's birthday. Like, you really like that. And I drove up from Orange County to just for this birthday breakfast. And we then went to a vegan restaurant.

And after we all ordered their garbage, disgusting vegan food that left my bowels a wreck. It's pretty good. Water trash. Kyle then goes, oh, I'm not, I eat meat now. I'm not vegan anymore. We could have went to any restaurant. Dude. That was devastating.

I know. But did he suggest it? No, this is a Blake maneuver. It's a really good restaurant. I do remember us being like he's a vegan, Blake going, let's go here, and you going, fuck that shit. And we're like, but it's his birthday. Yeah, it was his birthday. It was really good.

But then, yes, to just throw in our face that he's no longer vegan. That was rough. We don't know anything about the guy anymore. And that's another reason why he's not allowed back on the podcast. I'm sorry, dude. It's not that he's not coming back. It's that we're not letting him in. We're not allowed.

We're not. We have. The close the gate on the arugel lord. I think we announced this, by the way, because the arugelords were like flipping. Have we been doing the podcast longer without him than we did it with him? It feels like we have. How would you freaking see you? I don't know.

There's no way to tell us. There's literally no way to know. There's no way. Oh, a crazy thing happened to me. Okay. I mean, it's not even that crazy. Like I say, I've said that in the past and I shit out a rotissory chicken stream. Yeah, so we're bracing ourselves.

I'm like strapping in, brother. It's not like that. What did you kill, man? On the scale of maggots in your hair to rotisserie string in the poop. Yes, yes, I did. There was no maggots in my hair and no rotisserie chicken string. Boring. So I met Diddy's house.

Go ahead. So the other morning, my parents, they were here. They visited for two weeks. My parents were with us. Oh, hell, yeah. Yeah. It was great. And they were leaving.

My dad is on oxygen now. So he has an oxygen. He's got the little, like, does he have a tank or that new school, like, thing where it makes the air? That's super light. What's that? Well, he has that. But, of course. So sick.

So guess what? He forgot it. Oh, no. That shit's important. At your crab? No, he forgot it in Missouri. Oh, fuck. He traveled without it.

And then he gets here and he's like, all out of breath. And he's like, I need oxygen. And I'm like, how did you? Yeah, man, breathe it in. Welcome to Beach. I'm like, how did you forget? The thing that you need to live. Yeah.

Are you like blowing in his face? What's happening? It's absolutely insane. So we had to like, wow. Get an oxygen tank here and they could only have like the big rolling one. So he has this oxygen tank. We get a we get an Uber.

We scheduled one or my mom scheduled one for the next morning. Mm-hmm. Of course she spends like the absolute cheapest amount you can spend to get the car. Absolutely. And it was like, I mean. it literally was like it was tucked it was like the

the bumper was duct taped on I'm not making this up it was duct taped on it's called Uber Dare Donkey It's like I dare you to get inside Yes punch And then we get out there And I'm like dad where where is it

And he's like I don't know I we said it for this time And I'm like okay I'm like well you know I have a bunch of stuff to do this morning or else I'd be driving you And he's like, no, don't worry about it. We got this Uber.

It's nowhere to be found. I look up a block. A block and a half up my street. There's a light, there's a car that's held together by duct tape that looks like a piece of shit. It has its blinking lights on its hazard lights. I'm like, I bet that's it. My dad's like, why would he be a block and a half away? And I'm like, fuck if I know, I see the lights turn off.

He does a Ui. he comes back to us. He slows down and he goes, I was waiting for you guys. And I'm like, what do you mean? Right. You should be waiting in front of the house. And he goes, he goes, I just canceled the trip.

I was waiting for you guys. And I go, well, you got to wait in front of the home. There's plenty of parking right here. No, I don't. Yeah. And my dad goes, well, are you going to take us to the airport or not? And the guy goes, he sees my dad. Yeah.

With an oxygen tube in his nose. Right. With an oxygen tank, holding luggage. I'm holding luggage. My mom's out there. My wife's out there. I'm holding a baby. Bowe's on the roof.

Yeah. And he goes, well, not with that attitude. I'm not. Oh, no. And I go, what attitude, man? You just canceled the thing. You were all the way up the street. And he goes, I don't like your attitude either.

And I go, and then, of course, I'm like, well, I don't like your attitude. Oh, no. This is what happens in two Scorpio's meat on the street. the streets. Here we go. And I go, I don't like your attitude. And he goes, I don't have to deal with fucking, I don't fucking have to deal with this. And I go, oh, so now we're cursing.

And I go, get out of here, you dusty motherfucker. And I don't know why Dusty said this guy off. And he goes, Dusty, Dusty. I'm pissed now. I'm not a dusty motherfucker. Fuck you. Fuck you. And by the way,

Hey, bitch. I called him Dusty. He was, he was. Dude, we're five feet away. We're screaming at each other through his open window of his Nissan. You won't see Dusty? You won't see Dusty? And then he drives away so slowly.

Like one mile an hour. Just drives away, screaming curse words out of the window. I'm out of here. So then I had to cancel the things I had to do that morning to take, to drive my parents to the airport. God damn. I was hoping you said you had to cancel that Uber. and then re-get it Uber, and then he just had to come back. Yeah, you guys changed shirts real quick and put on like an accent.

What's up, man? We're going to the airport. No, my mom was devastated. Oh, man. Devastated that she had to, because he canceled, so she had to pay the $10. Oh, fuck. And she was devastated. And it took her the 40 minutes it took to get to the airport to figure out how to get her $10 back.

And she was like, oh, thank God. Oh, thank God. And I'm like, well, maybe if we didn't. From the back of the Uber Excel that you put them in to finally get to the airport? No, I had to drive them. Oh, man. You drove. I canceled my shit because it was just too late.

Yeah. You couldn't get an Uber XL? Dude. Those aren't cruising? No. Well, just kind of down where we live, there's not like Uber's that are just cruising around our neighborhood, really. So it usually will take another 15, 20 minutes for them to get there.

So it was just a total shit show I'm living in a nightmare I've never had an experience like that where I think he must have seen once he accepted it and was there must have seen that it was going to go to the airport and he didn't want to go to the airport Yeah is that how it works

They accept it and then find out I think so yeah and then find out Yeah and you know I think that's kind of like Against the code I thought they saw where it goes and all that But yeah that's kind of a bummer No, I was told that after you fully accept it and you're there, that's when it shows you where it's going. That's probably better.

That seems, no, no, no. That seems that's unethical because then someone's going to be like, they're taking me to fucking Indiana now. They said, no. That could be true. It can't. It has to be, they have to know where they're going. Otherwise, they're going to end up in Long Beach from like. That's what I've been told what it is.

Or else if you're going somewhere that they don't necessarily want to go. They refuse your trip. Then they refuse. so you can't get a ride. But I think that's what happens to me. Sometimes like Uber's just will not pick me up because they don't want to go where I'm going. No, that's no. Yes, that happens a lot.

That is because you're rating. No. Yeah, I know it happens to you a lot. It's because your rating is so low because you get. No, it is not. There's without a doubt. Give me the ox. What are you talking about?

Dude, give me the ox. It's, give me the ox. It's being so drunk that you like will put your feet on the roof of the car. Where are you from? What are you talking about? I am a good, I am a good passenger, dude. You're, I'm like a, I know that, but you're, but also you're, you're very drunk, I bet 95% of the time that you're in an Uber. No, half the time, the ride back, the way back.

But the ride there, I'm very sober and I'm very kind. So, yeah, so I bet I bet you do on the ride home. I bet you have a low. I don't. You're tripping, dude. I used to have a I used to have a row That doesn't mean I do

I have a good rating I'm at a dusty ass rating You're a fucking dusty buster Dude But also to Just to finish that story Put a bow on it Just a piggyback

Let's put a bow on it Let's piggyback I don't know why I called it Well just because he seemed dusty Everything about this guy Just seemed like he needed to Take a shower and put some lotion on it He seemed dusty

And that's the first thing that popped out of my head I'm like, you dusty motherfucker He's heard before And that, he must have. He must have been called dusty. He must have been called dusty. Yeah. You mother.

He must have been called dusty in the past. Yeah. Maybe he was a mummy. And it sent him over the, he went from, he was pretty hot. I would say he was 70% and then he just went 250.

He was pretty hot. Like pretty fuming. Yeah, you get it. Yeah. Full on. Damn, dude. Yeah. And by the way, this is 7.30 in the morning.

Yeah. This is not, this is not like, he probably hadn't slept. Is he the end of his shift or the beginning? Yeah, that sounds like he was probably like delusional. He's on lack of sleep. He thought you said dusky. And he's like, that's right. I've been working.

It's a tough. Motherfucker. I'm tired. Motherfucker. Punk rock, getting radical. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyank Wali. And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year.

And on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest. honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about.

Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow.

It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we, we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Dolorotcha, host of Sacred Lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit, but don't have to repeat. Here, we slow down. We listen. We learn how vulnerability becomes strength and how healing happens in community, not in isolation.

If you're ready to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the year with clarity, compassion, and purpose, sacred lessons is your companion on your healing journey. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delo Rocha on America's number one podcast network, IHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike Delocha and start listening on the free IHeart Radio app today. Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken?

But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, I'm going to preface this by saying, I've texted and driven that's out there. Okay. Okay. That's brave of you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for telling your truth.

man. No, but I'm just saying, hang out. Okay. When you guys are in an Uber and the driver's just fucking driving and texting, are you cool with that? I've never seen a driver text ever. Really? No.

Dude, I've been in an Uber before where he's offered me alcohol. Somebody help me! Well, that's cool. That's five stars. But I'm talking about just your run of the mill, like, on the way to the airport, or is this on the way of the airport? Or is this like, you're talking about like nighttime thing, right? Like a dude's got like a side hustle where his hands.

Manning out fucking Bud Light Line. No, no, no, I don't think it was, I think it was maybe like 8 p.m. And he was like, yo, you want to polo this? And he's like giving you the cup he's drinking out of or he's like, I can sell you a beer. He had a cup in his cup holder. Yeah. And then talking about where we're going. Where are we going, bro?

I said, yeah, we had a couple drinks at the crib. Now we're going to wherever. and it was in Hollywood and he pulled out a bottle of like schnapps and was like, well, you want a hit of this and I was like, maybe and Chloe was like, do not take a hit of that man's alcohol.

You don't kiss me for 30 days. Yeah, that is... But texting and drive, sure, yeah. No shnaps for me either, but texting and driving something I've done I'm saying, but like when now I'm in a past What am I paying for? If my kids are in the car, I'd try and not text ever almost, right?

But if I'm just driving... Texting can be deadly. It's kind of cool. Yeah. Wait, what? It's not what I was expecting. I'm like, I'm more apt to do it if it's just me. If it's just me in the car, I will full on be a full...

I will text. Oh, I'm making Insta videos. I'm making videos. I'm having a full-on conversation with chat, GPT. I'm watching movies. Do you have any hard fast rules? I won't text. I don't text going through intersections.

That's my rules that when I'm going through an intersection, I'm eyes on the road. You put it down? No, no, I just have it off to the side. Out your window? I hold it up. I hold it up like this. Okay. And then I get right back to it.

But Ders, you are also a dictator, a text dictator. Right? Like you talk. You talk. Yeah. I speak to text. Yes. I don't do that.

That's, that's weird. Why? I don't like that shit. Why? Dude, by the way, I just jumped on the train. It's so great, Blake. Really? It's the best.

You have to. It's so easy. I don't. By the way, I don't know. Well, you're hanging on to your youth. You're clutching on to your youth. But is that the youth? Yeah.

Sorry, you're saying his own youth as opposed to like what young folks are doing now. Yeah. Because now people wouldn't know you don't know one fucking 20 year old, bro. I'm kicking it with 20 year olds. Dude, on the reg. Yeah, it's sad. Yeah, that's sad. Cool.

Question mark. Question mark. That's sad, Blake. I'm still going to say that. That's sad, dude. All my friends are 20. So that's not as cool. Hey, member of the bud.

Wise or commercial. That's not as cool as you think is. I'd be outside high schools, bro. Oh, yeah. That's not as cool as you think it is. Hey, the old guy's back on his lowrider bicycle. What's up, homies? What's up?

Who wants to race? So, you hear the new Tyler. the creator album. What's up? He's 40 now. He's 40. We're 40. We're all 40.

Ah, yeah. What's up? Wait, okay. Sorry, we were talking about the talking text. I get worried that

they won't be able to, like, how do they know when there's like spaces in the words? They're not going to understand me. It usually knows, but also if people see it's all fucked up,

they get it. They don't care. No one cares. But also, if you have a second, if you have one second, you talk to, text. You reread it. It might mess up a word. You go change the word. And it takes you infinitely

shorter amount of time than it would have if you just wrote all that out with your thumbs. We're also like post spelling and grammar. Like nobody gives a fuck. Sure. Nobody gives one fuck. But can you be talking as fast as we're talking now and this is my text send? And it would have got that. Yes. Why don't you try it out instead of wasting goddamn air time on the podcast? Jesus Christ. I don't even know how to do it. This is not what people tune in for. I turned Siri off because I do not trust Siri. I don't want my phone doing something when I'm...

Oh, and you think it's actually off? I... Yeah. I can't figure out how to turn Siri on. Hello. I can show you. Hello, baby. Great ass!

Well, we do have to be nicer to Blake because someone and I'm excited for them to crawl back of my DMs, because this person fucking crawls, a true basement. What is this guy? I could just tell. He has zero followers, zero posts. That's not real. He just, uh, DMs to get a rise out of people. And, and I love it. He said,

fuck you, you piece of shit. You woke piece of shit. This is how he starts as his DM. Fuck you, you woke piece of shit. Which by the way, I live in Orange County.

I would say out of the three of us, I'm probably the least woke. Okay. Although I am some amount of woke because if not, you're just an asshole. Sure. You're like waking up. Yeah, you're getting the, the boogers out of your eyes.

Yeah, I'm like, wait a second. Adam's like hitting snooze. I'm not fully woke. I'm like, uh, I'm going to hit this. Hey, I'm going to, if you're woke, then I'm hitting snooze, okay? Then I'm hitting snooze. Wake me. I just woke up.

I'm that in-between sleep where you're up, but you know that next alarm's coming. Yes. And for people who are not from the L.A. area, to move to Warren County says I'm not woke. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's what it says, yeah. Yeah, that's all. Well, it says I don't like, uh, diversity. Someone's shitting on my doorstep.

Anyone darker. And, uh, graffiti on my car when I leave for them in the morning. But so this person was like, fuck you, you woke fuck. Mm-hmm. Uh, you and Ders, I found out through listening to the podcast are unfunny, woke lib tards. Check out. Okay. Don't get.

Quit being mean to Blake. He's the only non-woke motherfucker on the pot. Wait, what the hell? That's verbatim. That's verbatim. Yeah. And I'm like, he was on a show

called woke. He starred on a show called woke. Yeah, what the heck? Yes. And I would say he is the most wrong. He refuses to even say homeless person. They're unhoused to this guy. I mean, I'm just trying to be sensitive.

Yeah, you have to. But that is really. Why did he single me out as the unwoke member of the crew? I don't know, dude. Well, that's what we want to ask you about. What does he know that we don't know? I don't know. Yeah, what are you saying on those?

Because I know you're on the deep Reddit sublogs. I'm in the crates. Fortune. I'm running a few rooms. Saying some real nasty shit. So that's what I was assuming. I'm just dunking on you guys. I just get all my payback in the Reddit rooms.

You guys shit on me, the whole pod, and then I just create my little rebellion in the Reddit room. So I would like to start off apologies, epic slams, giveaways, and whatever the else we say. By apologizing. Oh, so this guy got to you. Yeah, man. Well, I could see, I mean, he got it all wrong. Front to back.

But there is something about us making fun of Blake so consistently just because it's a low-hanging fruit, right? Wow, dude. And Blake, do you think we're making, when we gang up on you, on the podcast. Sure. Do you think we're doing it for fun? Yes. Or because we want to understand more?

No, I don't think you guys care one bit to understand about me. No. So we're doing it for fun. Yeah, I think, but, you know, we to do to do picks. I mean, it's funny. I like playing that role. I mean, yeah, I'm low-hanging fruit. I mean, everybody has to understand at some point.

that we've all been friends for a very long time and part of our friendship is dunking on each other. You think so? Yeah. I also think this is generational. I think a lot of younger people don't do this as much. Yeah. I think you're absolutely right.

That I feel like our generation and the generations above, this is how you became better friends with your guy friends. Very mean. You shit on each other. Ders is a robot. Blake is a basement person I mean, pick on me. Adams is a racist.

He's a bona fide. No. That is not what you say. I'm assuming I look like I have down syndrome. I don't say that. I've never said that. No one said that. I think you're handsome.

You call me a morbidly obese all the time. Never did that. And you pinch my fat. You did it in Tennessee. You did it in Tennessee. I'm nice to you guys. I don't talk crap about you guys. I like you.

We don't talk crap about you. You talk crap all the time. To other people. Just to each other. Yes. Yeah. We talk crap about you when you say dumb stuff on the podcast. I don't leave here and go the thing about Blake that drives me crazy.

Yeah. Well, and I appreciate that. I know this is all, you know, for the public. I know you guys really enjoy me in my company. And by the way, when I say something stupid, which I feel like is fairly often. Sure. Yeah. And you guys come from me.

Mm-hmm. I love it. I'm like, yeah, fuck it. Okay, sure. Fuck you. I don't care. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah.

You know what I mean? It's all fun in games, guys. We love each other at the end of the day. I love you too, dude. I like being taken down a peg. I like it. It's kind of my kink. Yeah, because you're so high.

You put yourself on a pedestal. I really do. I have really high expectation. Speaking of pedestals, I just want everybody to know that my pet of what? Pedestool. Peggesto. A pedestule? How do you say it?

Wallet. Wow. Hello. Hello, my rating on Uber. Not verified? 4.87 rating. That's, is that good? Wow.

I would say that's pretty good. Yes. I think that's pretty good. So maybe another apology is in order because I am very kind to people in the driving transportation industry. Mine's lower. I bet, I bet mine is lower. Mine used to be very low. I'm 4.73.

You're 4.73, so you're a freaking dick. Yeah, but... How do you do this? How do you do this? Go to Uber and then go to a count in the right-hand corner, bottom right, and then... When I... But to be fair, when I'm riding in an Uber, I tap on the window either to the left or right, and I go, no turn this way. You're doing it wrong.

Nice. They love that. They love that. And so I'm okay with this rating, actually. Adam, can you find it? No. Okay. It's not even allowing me to look at it. I think Dusty fucked you up and kicked you off the Uber app. Oh, five.

Bullshit. What are you? I'm 487. 5.4.7. What are you? I'm 473. You're 48. I'm 477.

Oh, so look who has the highest Uber rating. Yeah. The kind, the man of the people. Is this all you have? Yeah. Fuck off, bro. Fuck off. Wait, but I'm starting to realize this also encompasses like Uber Eats.

I'd never use that. I refuse. You don't use Uber Eats? No, I don't do any sort of delivery systems. I get it on my own. Why? That's true. Because he comes from, he was a delivery guy.

He harkens back to his old day. So you don't want, yeah, so you don't want to support your old industry or? No. I can do it myself. He is the industry. It's like, you know, if you know how to build a house, you build your house. You know what I mean? So there you go.

And that was another episode. This is important. Ohky-dokey. Woo! A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long?

to catch him. I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now.
