Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important, it's the home of the testicle festival. My eyes kick fucking ass, and I'm really bummed on it. The bread looks like a dirty dick, but then it tasted like a clean one.

Let's go. Dude What's up gangsters? Gang stars, gang stars. We did David Chang Dinner Time Live The other day. He's getting right to it.

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy. And my tummy, tummy, tummy, I did shit my pants, though. You did? You did? Yeah, last night when I got home. I think it was the egg. I was about a long drive ahead of me. It took me like two hours.

to get home. Ruminating. Yeah. So you really were. It was really roasting. Well, you don't realize it, but when you do dinner time live, those entrees start coming out real quick. And by the way, they're not small portions.

You know how they, when you go to a fancy restaurant, it's like a 10-course thing. Yeah. Must be nice. I actually don't like them. What do you mean courses? Because it's, they come out and there's small little bit. bits, and the first few, you're like, oh, this isn't bad. Yeah, it's not, this isn't enough. This is tiny.

This is, yeah, this is tiny. And by the time you get to the seventh one, you're like, stop bringing me fucking food. Stop it. Enough is enough. This is out the gate. They gave us a full, gigantic cheeseburger. Hogi-style stretched burger. And it was the best. I'm like, crazying it again. It was really good. The spice was so nice. I wish we could go back and. What do you wish, Blake? Blake has a take. I wish we could go back. and get the burger again.

I want to eat it again. I want to reverse the order. That's what I said. And I did want to offend him in the moment. So I'm going to offend him now. David Chang. I'm talking to you. Listen up, bud.

Do us a favor. The soup should have came out first. That's a aperteezy. That's a first type of, that's like you're eating a, like a miso soup at a Japanese restaurant. Filled with meat. Right, right, right. Filled with meat.

I had one little, I didn't ask for one little rib. What wasn't filled with meat? Fucking things. There was a few. I had a ton. There was some crab. I had a ton. Okay.

Well, he liked you the best. You guys knew each other from before, so you got the most meat. Lottie-dottie. You likes to potty. But I got zero meat. He had to give me a steaming hot meat. But regardless, meat or no meat, I think, I think he had to give me a steaming hot meat. I think we should have starved with the soup.

Then, then we go to, what was the last dish? Biscuits and gravy, which were fantastic. And those were, I ate the rest that night. It was delicious. That's a breakfast banger. So I feel like that would go next. And then you end with the burger. Okay.

That's what I would have done. Okay. Here's what you're skipping. That might have been my favorite and it's kind of sad. The fucking pancakes were out of control. Well, yeah, those came out of nowhere. I was like, who made pancakes? And then I just took one and I was like, well, I'm kind of focused on this now.

And then they were like, it's over. And I was like, let me just... Yeah, the pancakes were pretty legit. Even before the show started, though, there was the whole... What did you call it? Apertite. What did you call it? I said Aperteezy.

I think it's a word I made up. Okay, I like that. The Apertizi was that big ass ham shank, just slices a ham just to kind of get your tongue, tongue ready. Yeah, salty. And I learned... Cured. Cured, yes. I was kind of hoping, Adam, that you would just grab that shank and sink your teeth into it and start nine.

Just take a million dollar bite. Fuck it! Yeah, I, you know, I did, you know, he's your close personal friend. I didn't want to offend him. Right. He spoke at your wedding, you know. Of course. Because that could be like a $1,000 ham shank for all I know.

I bet it was pretty price. I'm so fucking hungry. Is that how it works? Ham, ham gets expensive, guys. Ham can get expensive. Dude, I just bought, what's so funny about this is I just bought. I love to laugh. Go ahead.

I don't buy ham ever. I don't buy like that sliced ham ever. This is so off brand. Go ahead. This is shocking shit right now. I feel like you would know everyone at Honeybaked like on a first name basis. But I went to, there's this place called the Butchery in Costa Mesa in Orange County. And I drive past there.

all the time and I swung in the other day the guys working there were all very nice they're like I'm gonna give you some ham they looked at me

they knew I was a ham boy and they they're like human ham can I slice you some and I'm like okay and it was so good it was just like that it was like so good

jabon and they slice me some and then they're like hey you want to buy someone I'm like absolutely so I got a little plate that was just like that

it was like $30 for that little little plate Of like for like a charcutory board or for like making sandwiches deli style? No, it was charcutory board. It was like it was it was cut exactly like that and a very similar amount. So that makes me feel that is well over a thousand dollar ham shrap. That's how to get you by the way.

They're like up here comes pitch perfect. Well there's, have you heard of that? There's that ham. It's from like Spain. I think it's called like Iberico. Iberico or whatever. Oh, the Spanish ham. Yes, of course.

The Spanish hand. I was saying the Japanese, the Spanish version the other day. Was it Jebonne? What was I saying? Ja. You said hamoan. Hamon. But I believe French is jambone.

You said jamboan. Jambone, yeah. Jambone. Yeah. Hamon. It's a specific kind called like Iberico or a birico or something. And it's a very expensive ham shank that I think you. I think I still got the ham.

Should I go get the ham? I'll eat some ham. I mean, I'll be right back. I'm getting the ham, boys. Sure. Yeah, that's good for... Okay. He's bringing some ham.

He's gone on a... Yeah. He has a problem, is what it is. Once you mention ham, he has to get... He's like playing this whole thing like, oh, I go to the butcher and sometimes I get ham. He's a fiend. Here's what I... I was like, oh, this is a nice little salt vehicle.

Right, right, right, right. Like, it could have just been anything with a saltiness to it. Like, it could have been a wet nap, soaked in salt. And I'd go, remember that wet nap, though? How about that wet nap? Okay. But are you a ham boy like, like Adam? Are you like?

I'm not a ham guy, actually. You're not devastated. I love a good, I love a good, I love ham. I love, I mean, my mom, it was, it was my title card for Dennis and Penny's son. When I did house party, my title card at the end, you know how we had like, nice. That shit's important. For workaholics, for mailover comedy. My title card at the end was my mom going,

You want a ham sandwich? It's her love language. And because my mom, it's all... So this just takes you back to the womb. This is a psychological humdinger. Oh, really. Well, by the way, we would have that, like, really, really, really not good ham that now I kind of crave, that budding.

Do you remember budding? I do, dude. It was hell of cheap. It's like in a tub. Dude, it's like the absolute cheapest, grossest. But I know what you're saying. Sometimes you kind of want it sometimes. That now I kind of, yeah, sometimes I'm like,

I wouldn't mind getting the absolute shit. That chemical. Budding. Yeah, budding ham. Where do you buy budding? Like, is this like an Aldi specific? Or like a... No, no, but it's like anywhere.

Anywhere, but you got... It's the cheapest. Cheapest delus. Budding, I remember that. It was so goddamn cheap. I need to see a lot of. label. I think it's just red lettering. Yeah. So that that hamshank was

damn expensive. Yeah, for sure. But the whole thing was, it was a really fun, fun gig. I'm like It's a blast. And I'm assuming we got paid for that. No, we paid him. We got paid in meat. We bought every dish. Yeah. That was an expensive lunch. I mean, that would be

appropriate if we paid. We should have probably paid, but I think we got paid. Did you guys know it was over when it was over? Like, when the music started playing? Yeah, I kind of just was still eating and, like, vibing. As you guys know, I like to do a lot. Dude, you were vibing, yeah.

You were vibing your ass off, dude. I was almost like, Ders, this is live and you're vibing pretty hard. Put yourself on vibra. Yeah, what? Did you guys watch any of it back? No. I have not seen it yet. Yeah, my, uh, Chloe was watching it, uh, when I got home because she thought it came on at seven.

Mm-hmm. Um, but it came on 7 p.m. Yeah. Eastern time. Right. So she was confused. So she turns it on thinking that I'm going live now, and I just came through the door. And she's like, oh, I just started your, why are you here?

She was doing live it. It doesn't know what's happening. She freaked the fuck out. Who are you? Flies off the handle on you. I will ask, when do your kids start to see you on television? He will. And know that that's like not just a normal thing.

Because now my kid, because my, those price picks commercials are airing all the time. Right. And also, he was watching the, you know, dinnertime live with Chloe. That's cool. And nothing. He just kind of, you're like, there's da-da. And he goes, dad-da.

Right. And you're saying, and you want him to give you what you need. There's dad. He thinks Marshawn Lynch is a dad now. I feel like it's different now because, like, all, you can throw anything on the TV, right? Like the TV, you can watch YouTube. You can watch, you post.

People do, like, slide shows of their shit on their TV when you're, like, at their house. It's, like, watching their video. So it's like, a little less like, whoa, daddy in the box on the wall. Do you think anybody like programs their children to think that they're on TV and they're just kind of like playing something off their phone? And they're like, this is daddy's TV show. 100% is. Absolutely.

You trick your children into thinking your celebrity. That's fucking cool. Yeah. There's no doubt in my mind. Yeah, there's absolute sociopaths out there. For sure. That's fucking cool. Why not build out this cool universe for?

for your kid where you're like the biggest celebrity in the world. And then they go to school and they're like, actually my dad is the biggest celebrity. Yeah, you don't know my dad? You don't know my dad? He won the Emmy last night. I don't think so. And like, you can upload anything on YouTube. If you're like a Fixit guy, you're like, my dad's actually,

you know, Andy the Fixit guy, that's my dad. And no, and everyone goes, no, don't know that person. Let's beat his ass. Honey, I got 300 likes. Nerd. We're cooking. And I, and the phone. 300 likes.

That's like basically a bill. yeah it's true and like being on your phone and like having videos so it's like you're watching instagram you're watching actual famous people non-famous people it's all kind of mixed together it's not as special to them also we know what these celebrities do we do we need them oh fuck i know i've had enough i'm so sick oh boy fucking cancel they need to be knocked down a peg cancel culture is coming to get down i hope so It's about time. Adam, for your sake, I hope one day he just loses it and hugs you.

It gives you a big hug and goes, I'm proud. I hope you earned those kisses, brother. I was, admittedly, I was expecting a little more because he saw me in the price of pick commercial. You come through the door like, and I was like, well, it just came on to the TV. We were watching football. And I'm like, oh, look, look, there's Dadda. And he's like, uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Cars. You good? I know, I know, Dad. You're a Hollywood elite. Yeah. I'm going to be too. The end.

Call me when you're a. Tractor. All right. Come. Yeah. Okay. If you are ever a trash truck, then I'll respect you. Okay. Then maybe we can talk. But these commercials are boo-boo. All right. It's not happening. I do like that you try and get a John Deere ad like that night. You're like, Isaac, here's the deal. It didn't land. It didn't really land. Please get me a sanitation commercial. A local sanitation commercial. I don't cherry-picking commercials. I like that. Blake, are those fashion you're wearing? What's going on? I have several choices. If you guys, I, um... Like, one is not to wear anything. I mean, I have these. I could go with my, my Oakley's. It's just like a... Well, those are sunglasses. Thank you. Those are sunglasses.

Yeah, I've got the, I've got, of course, I got the blue bloggers. Those are sunglasses. Yeah, Adam, I know what you're asking, and I'm wondering, too. Yeah, yeah. Oh, are these are, these are actually Teddy Spencer, my good friend from kindergarten on. Are there lenses in there? No, no longer. Did he die? No, he didn't die. Here's the lens. It's very scratched.

I couldn't see out of it. I'm down to one lens. Okay. So you're going for a look? Yeah, I am. That's what I love about you. You're not afraid to go for a look. Okay.

Well, here's the problem. My eyes kick fucking ass, and I'm really bummed on it. Like, I want my vision to start to deteriorate. Deuterarate, because I want to be able to wear glasses. I really want to. Why? Because they look fucking cool, dude. It's like kind of like,

Jeffrey Dalmer Sheik, I'm like, into it, man. Yeah, you did always have a weird affection for serial killers. Somebody help me! Yeah, you read books about them, right? Yes, yes. Well, it comes from when I was a young child, my aunt, I actually have the book. My aunt Arlene. I used to hold squirrels underwater.

I used to kill squirrels. Now, let me get this. Let me get this. Yeah. It comes from, oh, by the way, my, I think my mother-in-law ate my, my hem-owned. Oh, oh. And devastated. Because she just ate $15 or the pet mom.

It's a community ham. That's one way to die. She was like, it was all right. So this is the book I grew up. My Aunt Arlene had this book in her house, the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers. And, you know, when you were a child and you're in your aunt's house and you have a lone time, you start to snoop around. Was your aunt a man that wore a woman's face? Not that I recall.

Not that I recall. Go ahead. It was a little loose skin, but. And when I would like kind of search, snoop through her book case, I would find, she had like a lot of serial killer stuff. And this one just spoke to me. Like without even opening it? No, there's pick. There's always pictures, you know? And there's like. Do you see pictures there, Blake? Yeah. Like, and I don't know. It just like, it was just like. I don't see anything. Dude, those, okay, those photos by the way. There's our boy. There's our boy. J.D.

Yeah. Our boy. He's a terrible man. He's an evil, evil person. These are all very evil. It goes without saying. By the way, that stuff does it. I don't understand your affection for this. Because it doesn't speak to me even a little bit. Because serial killers aren't cool. No, they're terrible. But we've covered this a little bit.

A little bit. And Jers got very angry with me that I am like, my affection is for like thieves, like bank robbers and monsters and stuff like that. Right. who just kill people, like, willy-nilly. Yeah, they're just part of the, part of the crime. They're, like, background. They're part of the crime syndicates.

Yeah, it's just collateral damage. My killers are, like, getting off on it, dude. Yeah, they're, they're, like, horny, killing little girls. Like, really. That, uh, that my killers, my killers, they would kill your killers out of, because they have a sense of morality. Yeah, okay. Because they'd be, like, not in my neighborhood.

Right. Right. We don't do that. Not here. And then your killers also would just go next door to the bank and kill anyone who looked at them cross-eyed. Well. And take the money. Yeah, like, that's not, not, that's not, not my killers. Sorry, we're out of money. You are right. They would kill the killer out of, like, morality.

And then their sense of morality. Their sense of morality also sends them next door to be like, b'bang. Okay. Well, not my killers. I think you're putting something, something. on to my killers because my killers they'd go to the bank if everybody's being cool they're just taking the money they don't want to kill

they don't want to kill they have no problem doing it they have no problem doing well they're stone cold there's stone cold right yeah and those are my killers Durs who are your killers should I play the song I was just going to be like are they

human or are they dancer who are my killers yeah I don't know Like, I guess, like, people who just drive the wrong way on the freeway. Oh, see, I don't like that. Dude, that happened to me. I swear to God. That happened to me yesterday.

No way. Okay. There's in my neighborhood, there's a, uh, they're one-way streets, right? Mm-hmm. And this car, I'm in a golf cart. This car is going the wrong way on a one-way. Huh. I'm, I stop and I go, you're going the wrong way.

They stop. There's this woman. She goes, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. No, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I go, you're going the wrong way. I don't know. Older or like, like 50?

I mean, probably about our age. Like late 30s, 40s. God, damn you're screaming. I don't know. And I go, you're going the wrong. You got to turn. And she's like, go ahead. And I'm like, right there.

And she turns. And it was fine. The car next to me is honking at her. And I'm like, that's not helping. She was wigging the fuck out. By the way, it wasn't just a woman. A guy was in the car, too. And he's going, I don't know.

I also don't know. right right we're from london this is where we drive on this we drive the wrong way all the time this is normal to us baby mental it wasn't it wasn't in the right lane it was it was a one way so they were just fully going the wrong direction well that sucks because what do you do at that point i don't know you throw on sublime the wrong way come on what are we doing guys that's what you do i blew it i should have put on sublime the wrong way uh and then 30 seconds later maybe like less than this, I'm driving. The lanes go from two lanes to one. I'm in a golf cart. One car speeds past me, because they're in the merge lane. One car speeds past me, gets in front of me. The other car behind me starts to speed past me, and I'm going, dude, there's not room here.

You're going to hit my little golf cart. They slam on their brakes to get back. By the way, this is a 30 mile per hour zone. These are two lanes merging to one? Merging into one. And I was in the lane that had the right of way. They were in the lane that were merging to get over. I'm drunk now.

And so one car speeds around to get past me. The other car is going to get past me. And then they drop back and get right behind me. So I'm kind of looking at him. I look up. That car had slammed the car in front of me, slammed on the brakes because there was a crosswalk right there. And there was people crossing. They slam on the brakes.

I slam on the brakes of my golf cart, which doesn't have the greatest of great. You know, it's a golf cart. Sure, yeah. It screeches to a halt. I swear to God, three inches from crushing the back of this Mercedes-Benz SUV. That would have been, you would have been ejected from the vehicle, right? I would have flown. I was wearing a seatbelt.

I was wearing a seatbelt. Oh, okay. Golf cars have a seatbelt now. Hell yeah. They do. They do. The nice ones for the streets. I love that.

Yeah, it was pretty chaotic. Yeah, that's scary because it feels like if you're in a golf cart and there's just cars around you, whatever happens, you're going to lose that battle. You're going to be crushed or completely annihilated. And it's crazy, it's been a while since I've been in a moment like that where you're like where a catastrophe is ahead of you or you're in the middle of an accident. I don't know if you guys have had this, but I've been in a few horrific accidents. yeah yeah yeah uh you have so much weirdly your what's your comb account again uh weirdly your brain has time to really think everything slows down yeah and i'm i'm slamming on the brakes i'm seeing it and i'm going in my head i have time to go like oh my god i'm gonna crush this car i'm gonna i'm gonna

fly eject i'm gonna smash into the back of it my child i wish they served the soup first yeah i wish for sure. My child, my wife. I, like, had thoughts. Should have done the John Deere. And then it happened within, you know, one second. Yeah. It's crazy. Adam, have you ever heard this saying your life flashes before your eyes? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's true.

I think that might even be. I think that that's what they're taught. I feel like that might be what they're talking about. Have you guys had that? Have you guys had that those moments? Because I've had that at least a half dozen times. I don't... Not enough that I clocked it. I don't know that I'm ever aware that I'm... You're not clocking it?

I don't think I'm ever aware I'm in really dangerous situations. I think maybe I'm blissfully like not aware that this kind of shit's happening. You're like a cartoon character where like all the... Like you're the baby from...

There's like wreckage behind me and I have no clue that I'm the one starting. The Roger Rabbit Baby from before the movie starts. Absolutely. Where the shit's hitting the fan. Yes. And so like...

and durs is thinking durs are you chunken or are you thinking this is pretty wild this is a pregnant pause I had a question about the car and then we switch gears and I'm like trying to go with it and not go back

and then I was like well this is actually getting kind of boring for me so maybe we do go back to the more exciting story okay let's get it what the car the engine's car

and now I can't remember that's all oh god Jesus Christ come on the ultimate yes no improver gotcha bitch No, it was more like the I shouldn't have stepped out for this scene.

Oh my God! You ever see somebody to step out for an improv scene and then they go, I'm the doctor, and you go, huh. Fuck. Yeah. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down.

Lenovo, Lenovo. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.

Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.

They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County. a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

I actually haven't been to an improv show in a long time.

It's kind of a bummer. I used to love going to, like, UCB out here on what's... Yeah. Yeah, it's been a long while, so I've ever have an improv show flash before your eyes? Dude, tell me about it. I mean, I will say some of my favorite good improv is fine. Yeah. It's fine.

I, it's not my favorite thing. I think I'd prefer to see a really great stand-up than, then fine, like, good, decent improv. Like, the best improv ever, sure, yeah, that'd be fun to watch. But what I really enjoy, even better than really good stand-up, really good improv, is really bad of both. That, to me, is my absolute favorite. And I don't know what that says about me. Really? You get more out of it? I like it more.

I'm not saying I would like to watch it all the time, but if I'm going to dip in to UCB, I hope it's UCB 201, where they have enough skills to have some confidence. Sure. But then they're really, really bad, which is, yeah. Their space work is just all over the place. You're like, oh, that's where the door handle is?

Because it was over there when he came out. Yeah, I'm fucking, I, I, I, stand-up is like, here's what I, obviously, good stand-up is fantastic. And I like when people are, they've just got a set, a really fucking tight set where you're like, this is, I've never heard this before, this person's vibe is great. Yeah, it's a fun take. I like his energy. Yeah, yeah, da, yeah. Differently for an improv show, I love being like, look at these people do this all together. That's fucking cool.

That's really what it's about. The passing the ball or whatever the fuck you want to call it, like of, we're all doing this and it's all happening. We're all creating this scene together in the moment. And when it's good, I just go, you guys, you fucking did it. You're in a little bit. It's pretty fucking cool. These guys are skilled as hell. But then also, don't you find it fun when they're all working together and they're like,

we're all working in the steel mill. And then one guy comes in, he's like, I'm Abraham Lincoln. And you're like, no, you're not. Yeah. You know, you're not, dude. Yeah, the burned down. And you're like, what were you doing? I instantly just go.

God damn it to all these other people I know what they're going through and I'm like To me that's so funny Because then you see the like Little side eyes And little like

Lances to the people That are actually trying to work together And then the one guy Is just Fucking blowing it For you Dude you are you are describing How I met like

Thomas Kellogg basically He was just like in improv And he would just come Give him a long shout out Oh yeah He would come to the table Just with his own universe I was in your improv class

Yeah Yeah, we were in the same class together. He mastered the art of it. Yeah. And you're going to see a lot. You'll see a lot of him on the cruise, people. Get ready. Is he actually coming?

Is he coming? Oh, he's coming, man. Oh, I love it. Right, Isaac? I will say the one person that was like that, who then got a lot better. And now he's a fantastic comedian is Rick Glassman. Oh, yes, yes. And I were in a UCB class, you know, over 15 years ago, probably.

and he was so so funny but he would come in and just take over a scene that it's in no way what it was about and suddenly you have to go with whatever the fuck he was trying to bring he out with you okay yeah I mean that's still sort of his lane is like a complete confusion attack

I just feel like he's mastered it much much more now yeah now he's great at it and then I told him after class because he was asking about stand up and I'm like I think you have to quit improv and do state of poverty. You out with him. Yeah. Remember how you outfled me in there?

I'm alfing you out here. Yeah, I'm like, you can't do this. You can't do this. I don't want to see you here. I don't want to see you here at me. Hand on the shoulder. And then to his credit, he did take my advice

and he owes his entire career to me, I think. Stamp it. I think. That's huge. But no, to his credit, he did, he was at the improv all the time in the comedy store. And now he's a real,

I find him to be a really, really funny. Check out his pod. Shoes off podcast. I don't know if I've ever seen him do Stanley I don't think I've seen him It's chaos, it's fun Yeah I mean dude is lightning fast

He was on Adam Devine's house party Season 2 in New Orleans If I remember correctly He like I forget he had me like bring out a note As if like someone passed him a note And he had to read it on stage I can't remember exactly what he offered you

He was like you're my bitch in this routine Yeah Gotcha totally but yeah it's just like off it's not like a straight ahead stand-up set which I think is it's fun fun for people I like that I like that I think I've seen him bring some puppets on stage too

that's pretty cool I'm always in a Did he use him or did he just have him? I feel like his move would be like having two puppets and then just doing stand-up and then leave you like wondering why the hell the puppets are on stage yeah no I think I don't know I feel like we used to do a lot of stuff like that too

when we would do sketch stuff it would be a lot of us, you know, being in the audience, being in the crowd, acting like we're part of the crowd, you know, having plants in the crowd. The funiest. You know, I think that stuff is just keeping the audience on their toes. On their tippy toes. I'm guessing. We're like the Cirque de Soleil of comedy. It's really.

That's so well put. Thank you. That is so well. Have you guys seen Cirque de Soleil? Oh, yeah? I saw Sirc de Soleil a few years ago. It's fucking, it's a little sexual. Oh, is it?

Come on, man. Were you getting chubbed? No, brought my boys, and it was like... Oh, were they getting chubbed? Uh-oh. For sure. And I always give a little fist bump when I know something's going on. I pause.

I didn't want to say it, but Blake went right for it. I mean, come on. That's okay. I mean, the serial killer book reader, yeah, we expect this. It's all right. He's asking about children's hard penises. Very cool. It was a lot of like grinding between fucking sword swallowing.

Are you sure he saw it? You just brought them to a burlesque show? Yeah, it was in this strip mall. It was in Vegas, but a little outside. Jerk me off gay. I saw jerk me off gay. It's different. Fuck.

Sorry. Yeah, it was in an alley, right? Yeah, it was in a strip mall. It was outside of Vegas in a strip mall. It's a thing where they jump up and down on like a mattress full of maggots. It's like a big blue and yellow tent. It's always in a tent. It shouldn't be in an alleyway.

I saw like downtown L.A. in like a theater or something. Is it? It's not in a, a theater. I saw a big beautiful theater in Vegas and stuff. Well, I think the show I saw was called like Allegria. You could look it up when that year was. It was back. No, that's an allergy medication.

It's Allegra. I saw the Prozac show. It was like crazy. No, I remember it had like a dove. It was like a dove with like human eyes. I saw a blue show, I think. Yeah, absolutely. It's a good one.

But it was way back in the 90s. In the 90s. It was mad French, dude. It was like the most French shit I ever saw in my life. And maybe that's what I mean by sexual. I feel like French people, it's just... Oh, it's just a fuck fast, right? Yeah. It's fucking...

On Fromme. Oh, dude. It's a bagel. Like a bit... You carry around a bag yet. That's just a big dick. Everyone else is. I wouldn't mind shoving that down my throat.

Gobble, gobble, gobble. There's all those cats in the windows. That's just puffing in the window. What was the kind of shit they were pulling off? Because I remember, like, it was... Their whole thing was like, we don't have any animals at the circus it's all just like

what gymnastics basically yeah no the people with the animals baby what kind of stuff you know it's all the like there's like the trance the uh the seesaw where they like launch each other hella high in the sky

I'm just the one that goes around that's got the two circles up and top and they like run on top and whatever so essentially they're just do like circus shit yeah but like it's it is a circus I think cirque I know

I know, but it's... Is it real? But what is more than just regular circus? There's grinding. I feel like I said this. There's no animals. There's no animals. Yeah, it's just acrobatics.

The clowns aren't like, like, neon. It's like, they're French clowns. They, like, don't talk and shit. I do hate that now circuses are like... There's a faux paw to go into, like, to take your children to a circus. Because they're like, the poor animals. The poor animals, I'm like... Yeah.

You know, just turn into Ozzy, Osbourne. How fun was it when you were a kid to go to the circus? You see a giant elephant, stand on a ball, shit all over. It was the best? I don't know what I'm going to miss that. I mean, was it? I don't feel like that's what I. Did you not go to the circus as a child?

I went for Gunther Gable Williams' final farewell tour. Excuse me. This like Austrian blonde, like 80 year old dude and a blonde wig would just whip lions. And I was like, this dude's jacked and cool That's awesome I mean, okay, that is cool It's a lost art, like, for sure This isn't the 70s

He would like whip the fuck out of the tigers And like make them like stand up and shit, right? I believe it was lions Maybe most tigers, but It really, when you step it out It's kind of stupid It's not that cool Like I'd much rather watch flipping and shit

You like watching tigers get whipped What are you serial killers? No Yeah, let me see if you're in my book It's not about the whip I don't love the whipping. I'm saying there has to be a way. You just said you like the whipping.

You like you like prodding the elephants till they shit. So much that they shit. I did not. I did not say that. It's kind of what I heard. Putting words in my mouth. I'm just trying to figure out what the hell you like about these animals in captivity being forced. I liked going to the circus as a kid and seeing all the animals, uh, perform tricks.

Because at the zoo, they're just laying. The zoo's actually pretty fucking boring. They're laying there. They're shitting. they're laying in their shit it's like pretty disgusting i want to see him hey put a put a fucking show on for me and my child right you know i suck i will say that's one of the bummers of that uh of of where we've come as a society oh that's one of that's kind of the major one right now for me for me that's the biggest one is where are the circuses yeah i get that well they're

They're French now, and they're very artful, and you should go. Yeah, it's maybe too horny for my, for my little kid, you know. I think you're going to, I think he's going to like it. Or it's the right amount of horn. I think he's going to the zoo now. I'm like, what is the clock on this? This is over. These animals in here.

You think zoos are done? Yeah, dude. Well, some zoos are. And now, yeah, and you're like, man, people like hate zoos. You're like, this sucks. The zoos, it's. The Omaha Zoo is one of the best zoos in the country. It's always either number one or number two.

Between that and what? San Diego. And it's, it was, that zoo actually was the fucking shit. Right. But that has like a legit safari, right? Yeah, there's like a legit safari. Until the winter. And there's like, board them up.

No, it's all indoors. And the monkeys like, we'll swing on vines and we'll just like. It's all indoors? Yeah, because they keep it. it's this temperature of the rainforest so you go in and it's like hot and misty. Can you imagine living your life

all indoors? Yeah, biodome dude. Yeah, it's biodome essentially. It's one of the best movies of all the time. You love biodome. I don't disagree with that, but aren't they trying to get out? It's the Henry Doily Zoo. Yeah, the whole movie they're trying to get out. There's a zoo in India. I watched

a fucking YouTube video the other day that like some billionaire built that is in insane. It is like 10,000 acres or whatever like it's humongous and it's got everything and it's just some billionaire who's like I got all these animals and he's like

rescuing them from like other places and like so it's kind of a sanctuary or whatever yeah Todd just put it in the chat. So the zoo run by the Indian billionaire is called Ventara. Yeah. Sure. Why not? Yeah, might as well call it Ventara. That's kind of a sick. It's the way. A large

wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center owned by the man, the Indian man's and his name. Anat and Boni. Son of Mukesh and Bonnie. You gotta watch this video. Yeah, I thought I nailed it, yeah. I'm kind of on board with zoos that are like,

yeah, like rehabbing animals. Well, all zoos do that. That's like part of, you know, zoos. You're not all zoos. There's some zoos out there that are shit that are bad. Sure, there's Tiger King Zoo. which by the way kind of a cool zoo

how much fun would it be to go to a Tucker King's Zoo it would be so fun I went to the one outside Vegas for the MGM Lions and it is sad there was just a lady with like a beach bag

feeding ground beef through the chain link fence to these animals that were like it sounds like our episode of dinnertime live dude it was that

meat it was that In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down. Unlock elite gaming tech at Lenovo.com. Dominate every match with next level speed, seamless streaming, and performance that won't quit. And push your gameplay beyond limits with Intel Core Ultra processors.

All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people

and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff,

that you all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

Oh, dude, so I'm going to, Dillon, Ryan, to Changing gears here. Okay. Dylan Ryola, um, the quarterback. of the Nebraska Huskers,

the Cornhuskers. Got it. Let's go. Go Big Red. He's a fan. He reached out. He's giving me tickets to the game. So I'm going,

I'm not going, I'm not going this weekend for Michigan because I can't. I'm drunk now. Which is going to be such an epic game. Who do they? Yeah, Michigan is. Michigan.

So Michigan's ranked. We're not ranked. Wolverines. We're talking to Wolverines. That's right. God damn. That is right. God damn.

We are. Go now. But it's supposed to be a really tight game and everyone's saying that Nebraska has a real shot to beating them and in that case it's a real conversation on whether or not we're going to be in the playoffs

because of our rest of our schedule and look at this fucking hat that I got. What game are you going to? I'm going the week after is a bye week and then I'm going to the Michigan State game which also should be a good game. But all right here. Every week's a bye week for me.

Michigan State, they're slick. I always hate them. Whatever they play Wisconsin it's always a fucking barn burner. dude, it just goes down to the last thing and then they do a Hail Mary. What does he put it on? Oh, my. Hey, look at this guy. I mean,

I'm gonna come. That is one of the coolest fucking things. This is unreal. Adam just put on a, a stocking cap. A fucking sick is this hat. That's right. It's incredible, dude. Do you remember on all that there was like,

the pizza face dude? I do actually kind of remember that. It looks very similar to the, the pizza face guy. Todd, can you pull up the pizza face guy from all that? Yeah, that's amazing. Is this homemade or are these bulk? I saw this online. It was someone I think got Etsy making these

and so I think someone actually made this. This is how you need to rob a bank. And Zach, my buddy Zach, I wish I was pizza on Instagram. Please give him a follow. He is also wearing this. So we're going to look insane.

And I think they're going to do the thing that I've done before where they're like, I'm the celebrity of the game where I go down on the field and they film me, I think I'm going to wear this. You have to. You have to have a reveal. And they're like, Adam Divine and people are like, what? Is that? What is that? How do we know? What is this? Yeah. I'm gonna come. So I'm

pretty excited about this. I will say that opens up so many opportunities for you. You could have a whole alter ego stand-up career with this thing. You could probably start your own break-off pocket. Blake's always thinking of career moves. I like that. Always thinking of comedy career.

This is your glasses. man yeah oh thank you yeah uh do we even explain what it is it's a crocheted corn husk like corn head uh and it looks insane you look like an ear of corn i do i look like an ear of corn yes and if you're aware of um all that it's it kell had a character named pizza face it it gives me that vibe i'm looking at the photo right now and i feel it's a slightly different vibe but yeah but uh i'm hoping it's a little chilly and this actually comes has um has the family seen you in that yet or is it too terrifying uh oh by the way i came out i thought i was going to kind of scare bow with it a little bit congrats you came out thank you the water's warm it's been a while

so i i came out of my office wearing it i thought i was going to scare bow he ran up to me gave me a big hug and started laughing hysterically like laughing laughing laughing and i'm like this kid is the fucking man dude yeah he gets it he gets it if you needed to can it roll up into like what would kind of be a fine winter hat situation i don't know let me try well don't ruin it i don't like live a little pal i'm sorry i i well i don't want that thing is priceless no so adam you could just have it on and then just roll it up well his headphones were on well then he takes the headphones off it yeah there's my guy it also looks similar what is

Oh, my God. Get your ass to Mars. You look like Arnold from fucking total recall. That's totally... Wow. Honestly, not mad at this. Yeah. Sick, dude.

Get your ass to Mars. No, that's sick. That's sick, brother. So, wait, I'm sorry. I missed the info. Is this an Etsy purchase? Are these made in bulk? Is this official Huskers gear?

Let me find. It's not official Huskers gear. I kind of thought it was Etsy, but... Did you get this on Nebraska.gov? No, Zach. sent me the link he he's my buddy he's the he's the one that finds stuff like this

he also wants us to buy matching a fedora red fedora hats yeah is that a thing they do that's brilliant that's brilliant so we might also buy that I hope he becomes your stylist because I love all the swings he's taking I can't

I can't find where he sent this wait is are the fedora is a thing people wear to games or this is his like I think the band wears him No, I think it's a thing that like Bob Devaney, our coach from like the 1970s, 1960s. He would wear a red fedora. And so is the rule like 10,000 fedores per stadium? And by the way, I don't think anyone wears the fedora.

I think I think Zach is just like this could be our thing. And we're having like a, it's me and him. It's going to be. It's just the two of us. So it's going to get back. off the leash. Oh, yeah, we're going to just go wild.

It's kind of like a two-hand bachelor. You have a son now. And, uh, and, you know, Zach was like, I was, I gave him the option.

I was like, hey, we could get our own hotel rooms, which was kind of my, my choice. Or we could share, you know, to save him a little bit of money.

And he was like, yeah, let's just share. And so now we're, everybody's coming. Sharing rooms. Uh, we're going to be there for two nights.

It's going to be absolute chaos. Oh, yeah. I'm so excited. We're, we're flying into. Oh, Omaha. Does he know you just came out? We're driving to Link, and it's about 45 minutes away. And they're in the middle of that drive, in the middle of the country, there is a giant barn that is a steakhouse that we're going to stop and eat at at, at like 7 o'clock at night.

And I'm so excited about it. You guys are going to have a great time. And Blake, what would you order at this steakhouse? At the steakhouse, probably chicken terriaki. Did they have that? That could be pretty yummy. Yaqui actually gets stopped at the border of Nebraska. It is not allowed in.

This is not coming in, buddy. Why don't you tear that at Yaqui somewhere else, okay? You can keep that in Iowa, all right, buddy. It's not coming across this border. I did see a funny onion headline the other day that was like, I don't know if it was Iowa, Nebraska boat. How do you know which ones are onion headlines at this point and real headlines? But go ahead, go ahead.

Fair enough, yes points. Thank you. And it was like Iowa leaves hot dish at the border of. Nebraska after making too much food. And I was like, that's fucking classic. We got it. Hey, points to the onion. Yes, points! Too good. The onion is still around? I thought the

onion was gone. It's just not a physical paper. No, they're alive and well. No, the onion is still around. They send me actual newspapers. There you go. So I get the onion delivered to my house. That's fucking cool. I didn't even know they gave that option anymore. I'm sure if you reached out or paid money, they would

they would give it to you. Tell them you know Adam. I'm going to. I know this guy. Any takebacks or appreciations or David Chang slams again? I'm trying to find the name of that steakhouse. Dude, oh, well, shout out David Chang. The dude makes really awesome dishes look so easy.

Like, I don't think we even realize, like, we're just kind of, like, chatting him up, and he's making biscuits. Biscuits are fucking difficult to make. Oh, yeah. Like, you can fuck Biscuits. gets up 10 hundred different ways and he just whips it out while carrying on a conversation. So the dude is a wizard.

And you know, I don't want to be this guy, but I was like, no dessert. Right. I'm like, I couldn't be more full. That is the first thing that you text. I couldn't be more full. And I was like, I do need like a

Pazuki or something. Like what a Pizuki? What's happening? Yeah. I will say it's very impressive. By the way, it would have taken me... Unreal. I mean, hours to make any one of those...

Yeah. Like, the fact that he very quickly... I mean, the burger is the easiest one, right? Sure. Grilled the burger. Yeah. But then, like, with the... He made the sauce.

Yeah, he elevates it. So good. Yeah, he made the bread. He made the bread. The bread was off the chain. And made the bread. The bread looked like a, like a dirty dick, but then it tasted like a clean one.

Yeah, it tasted delicious. God. Okay, so I would like to shout out. Shout out David Chang. And I hope I'm homies with him now. He was homies with Blake. I hope I'm homies with him. Yeah, you hope it's official.

I think you're in. Yeah. It kind of showed, though, he had never seen workaholics because he was like, oh, durs, do people call you that? I've never heard that. And I'm like, I almost left. Maybe he was being facetious. Maybe he's just trying to be cool about it.

No, he wasn't. I could tell. That's all right. And that's fine. That's fine. But, yeah, but I hope we're friends now. Yeah. And when we walked in, the person was like, you know, Dave's ready to go.

I was like, oh, so it's just Dave. Okay, it's not David. Are we allowed to say that? When do I get to be calling, baby? Then hopefully now. When do we? Yeah, hopefully now. Dave Chang.

And we got all the sauces and the spices and the little gift bag. I'm going to be cooking. I didn't know Mama Fouca was his thing. You know, I have Nike dunks that are Mama Fouca. It was like a collab that they did. Wow. Yeah, no, I mean, it's now he has, like, products in the store, and, of course, he has the restaurants.

There's the one in Vegas. Fuku. It's a fucking bomb. If you have a chance. A delicious time. Yeah, that's, I guess, your version of his being like, oh, people call you Durs. Something you should definitely have known about him. Yeah.
