Oh, shit. Did you go, Adam? You went, right? Thank you for that meeting. Just say, can I talk about this World Series? Here we go. Look at our hats. Well, I was going to.

I mean, I thought it was funny that Blake's also wearing a baseball hat. As per yuge. Almost always. Yeah, my Scarlet A. Mm-hmm. Went to the World Series. I gotta go twice, dude. I went the other night when it was 18 innings.

Yeah. And then I went... Oh, you went to the marathon. That sucked. You lose! I think three strikes, or the first three balls thrown, two home runs were hit. Yeah. It was garbage.

Yeah. Unless you're a J's fan. I'm finding out if you're a Js fan. That was very cool. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That'll relax you right out the gate. A little stress relief.

Well, how about the 18 inning game? But that 18 inning game was very fun, very epic. Did you stay the whole time? Do you want me to lie? I don't. I want to know. Do you want me to tell the truth to you? Yeah, did you stay?

Yeah. He left. Oh, no. You left. You left the World Series. We have a one and a half year old. We have half of a one-year-old. He gets up at 6 a.m.

Dude. It was getting late. It was going to be a nightmare to get out of there. You were there for history and you left. Am I frozen or are you guys frozen? I haven't heard anything anyone's saying to me for a minute. Everyone seems cool to me. I'm cool too.

Oh, there you go. It's saying my internet is unstable. So that is on me. I'm chunk. But yeah, so it was the 14th inning. They were playing, we were singing Cracker jacks take me out to the ball game once again yeah is that a remix well i think it's 14 so it's like seventh inning and then 14th inning stretch again and close like we have to leave our son is going to wake

up in like six hours wow oh so chloe was with me got it that changes everything if i was with a friend i would have stuck around but it was chloe was there and she's like we have to go i'm i need some sleep and I'm like, fine. Does she like baseball? She does not like baseball. Right. That was probably torture. The fact that it was going, I mean, it was very fun.

Jack Black was in our box, so that was cool. I guess I saw a pick of you two. I was super hyped. I'm like, whoa, this guy's spending 18 innings with this guy. They're probably getting to know each other. Well, I won't, I won't know a rad Jack out, but someone left even before me. Dude, these Hollywood motherfuckers, dude. He probably had a call time.

Yeah, probably, probably. Uh-huh. But it was so fun hanging with him, dude. I miss that guy so much. He is my favorite Uber celebrity that I know. A-lister. Of the like four Uber celebrities, I know he is my favorite. Right.

Who's your least favorite? I don't know. And Blake doesn't count. Just so we can get the clicks. We're talking celebs. No, Uber celebs, no Uber drivers. Come on. Hey, come on now.

Come on now. Hell. Burn! Yes, points. I got on the Jumbotron with Jack Black. We did a dance off, dude. It was very fun. Yeah.

Really? Yeah, it was very fun. I've never felt cooler because they put my name up on the World Series. They said Jack Black, and then it panned over to me, and then it said Adam Devine. And then it panned out, and it was the two of us, and we did a little dance off. What the heck? That feels like it should have gone viral. Yeah, no one seemed to care.

Mm-hmm. You're like, Adam Levine? Yeah. Who's that? Right. It did say Adam Devine with a question mark, which... Yeah. Maybe.

Yeah. And then last night, I said directly behind Charlize Theron. Oh, my God. I heard about this from someone. Oh, really? Ooh. I had a plant. Okay.

Had a plant in the thing that was in the stands. It was like, are you here? I was like, I'm not. Adam's there. And he goes, I'm sitting by him. He just photo bombed Charlize Theron. When they put her up on the Jumbotron, I was directly behind her. And then I creep out and was like,

And the crowd went making funny faces And the crowd went nuts I do love the idea of like a cameraman fucking being like Trying to like crop you out And you're like no bitch I'm getting in there So it was very fun

Way to get some screen time man Dude you have to When you're there you have to I love that But very very fun The Dodger games are always a blast But the playoffs I hate the playoffs

But I got to go to a bunch of games Because of that MLB commercial I did earlier this year. I did it's MLB commercial, which was the easiest. What was the MLB commercial? It was just me on it. I filmed everything on a green screen, but essentially it's like me walking up as Aaron Judge is like blasting a home run and I'm eating popcorn and I'm like, I'm like, this one

looks good, Judgey, or whatever. And then he crushes a home run and I'm like, what? And then it's like, I'm in the outfield and a guy makes an insane catch. And I'm like, no. Yes. And I go to grab. ball and he snags in front of this is the one we where you almost got hurt or did get hurt doing something yeah you were jumping a lot yeah yeah yeah which it didn't make the cut it did

I did a few jumps and right that's what it was that I did a few jumps yeah right and I was like pretty proud of myself that I was able to do all this stuff because of my my ailments and my body falling apart you say look Isaac yeah and then people really came after me dude what right yeah people were like no they were like how dare you not do the jumps. You said you did jumps on the podcast, and you did minimal jumps. Who's directing those? Who's directing that?

Somebody you know? No, it was, you know, I don't want to offend the person that did the commercials, but they are not a famous director, no. Okay. Yeah. Well, they did a great job. They did a good job. After that, I'm assuming they are now.

I'm assuming they're doing Barbie too after that. Okay. That seems like the pipeline for sure. Yeah, it might have been, actually, the more I'm thinking, Greta Gerwig, is that a famous? Oh, then it might have been her. It's possible as her. That's cool.

She's great. So those seats that you sat at last night. It's impossible. It was her. What are those real retailing as? Because these Dodger tickets are kind of an expanse. I don't know, but I was with our mutual friend, Scotty Landis. Oh, we love Scottie.

He said over 10 grand a ticket. Yeah, dude. crazy he said 10 to 20 grand because we're in the like the dugout club which is the fancy like most expensive tickets the fanciest thing yeah um that to me is shocking yeah it's crazy uh that's that's an absolute wild amount but it's the world series and you know i guess you know some people like that's uh that's end goal to go to the world series and watch your team so well yeah i think end goal for sure to go i don't know how many people's end goal is to go to the World Series and be down $10,000.

Yeah, that sucks. Well, that part sucks. I wonder what the cheapest ticket goes for. I was told like $1,500. No, I had friends who were way up there. They paid $600. Yeah. I mean, it's still a fucking huge lot of cash.

And you're only like the last row, but it's the environment. Yeah. I mean, it is, it was electric until the first two balls were pitched. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. There's two pitchers. Until the first, like, literally people are sitting down with their peanuts and crackerjacks and crank, crank. $10,000.

Oh. $10,000. The 18 inning game, that had like. That was worth it. That felt like I was watching The Natural. We're like, a dude just keeps stepping up and doing things. I kept yelling at my children being like, this isn't normal. This is history.

What you're witnessing is not normal. I mean, it was just crazy. I do feel the second I turned 40 years old, baseball made a lot more sense I've always liked to play baseball when I was a kid but watching it I'm like I don't know

it's a little snooze fest then I turned 40 and then all of a sudden I'm like this is a nice game to just have on in the summertime you just turn it on the crack of the bat the announcers

the soothing sounds of those announcers yeah I used to love just listening to games on the radio I thought that was just a really lovely time But it was really fun, ran into our boy Adam Ray, ran into Anderson, Tino, and our boy Sean Malto. Just running into people in the stadium is really, really fun. That sounds great, dude. Yeah.

We're going to turn this around in Toronto? What do we think? We'll see, yeah, the game six. Game six is tomorrow. We're shooting this, or recording this obviously a week ahead of time. Yeah, this could be a sad listen. So I think the World Series will be over. We'll see two, I think Yamamoto's pitching tomorrow.

He's our ace. He's our stud in the hole. So hopefully we get the dub. And then we'll see about game seven. That's, that's, uh, I love a good stud in the hole. I love studs in the holes. Didn't you guys kind of hate when they just started walking, uh, show hey the other night where they're like, we're like, we're just walking you?

Because you're like, I'm like, why don't you just walk them for the rest of the series? Yeah. I mean, yeah. And how many are you allowed? That's a little... You're allowed to infinity. That's crazy to me. That's very bitchman.

People were saying they want to like put a rule in where you can't... It is a little bitchmaid, but it's kind of, it's kind of on the next, next man up. Like it's kind of on mooky to fucking make it happen. What? No, no, no, no. This is, this is people, look, play the fucking game. Well, that's part of the game, dude. It's like chess.

It's the strategy of it all. But the dude behind him got to step up. knock a run in but that it's a bad but but then you just make all you just I would just never pitch the best hitters that ever I would just never pitch the best hitters on the team ever you could do that why would I ever do that you could do that but then but then when the next guy hits a home run then all of a sudden you got he's not going to why not because he's already the worst he's going to feel the pressure and then he's not going to step up well yeah I mean you'd be a good skipper man I like this I guess the hat

yeah who's coming on the boat um I'm definitely be coming on the boat. I guess I'm just like, it seems like a fucking weird rule. Like, you could just be like in basketball. Actually, you can't pass to the point guard. It's like, what? Yeah, it is kind of interesting now that you break it down like that. I don't think there's another sport. Well, yeah, you can intentionally foul shack, hack a shack. That's like you're kind of breaking the game. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know. And so it's like, but you get, you can foul out, right? If you're fouling him, you can foul out. So you could, you want a rule where you can only be a bitch like, like two times, and then they take you out. They're like, yo, stop

you. Hey, you were too big of a bitch. I think you can't, I think you can do it to every player once. Okay. I like that rule. That's cute. I don't know. It just, it just seems like you would have lost. Shohei was on fire too fucking bad. You don't have him. The other team does. And also, people are paying to see this shit. Don't forget, this isn't baseball. This is entertainment like this is entertainment i feel the same way about when they bench players in basketball because they're like he's resting it's like someone just paid upwards of however many hundreds of thousands of dollars to come see this person fucking i'm getting pissed now come on what are we doing you're right that's fucked up people are dropping 10 000 dollars and you're walking showy every time

what the fuck dude and i like you call him showy you wanted to see the showy i understand if you want to elongate somebody's career for basketball, right? Like, it's, we're resting them so they can play longer and get another deal or whatever. I hate to break it to you, but every fucking year for 10 years, I pay X amount of dollars to go see somebody

to play, and they're benched because they're resting. Every year for 10 years, what are we doing? Well, that's why I got rid of my clipper, my courtside clipper tickets. Did you hear that, Clippers? Did you hear that? Because Kauai was resting too much.

Why are you resting so much? And I never got to see him play, and it's absolutely so. And the security's chasing you around? I'm with you. It's very, it's very bitch-made. Well, but Adam, this is another, this is a sports-heavy pod, but you like led the, what are they calling it? The brick in the wall or what? You were all over my Instagram.

I don't know where he's going with us either. Oh, have you not, have you not been on the gram lately? You didn't see. Do you not, I follow a lot of sports. Instagrams, and Adam was highlighted. Bleacher, Bleacher Report, ESPN, heard of it. Can anyone explain what we're talking about? Adam was...

Hi, Anders, I'm Adam. I'm an old friend of yours. Sure. Yeah, we created workahawks together. We're currently doing a podcast together. And then I'm also a big Clippers fan. Sure. Okay.

And do you have Instagram? Yes. Okay. So, and you follow me on Instagram? Got it. You're talking about how you were. cheer, like leading the cheer section. Yeah.

Yeah, well, they have the, it's called the wall. Yeah, just say leading the cheer section. No one knows what it's called. It's not a cheer section. Yeah, you're like the guy who's like, girls, let's do this. It's fine, yeah. Isn't that?

You had on gloves? You did. So like, let's keep it all the way 100%. And by the way, they didn't give me those gloves. I requested them. I don't tell them. Oh, I thought you brought them from home. My man's rocking low.

No, no, no. Everyone had the gloves. There was 500 people behind me all with white gloves. Got it. And then they gave me this white... Imagine I don't really know the things that are called that you do. But the gloves, kind of unforgettable, leave with the gloves. Absolutely.

So it was a wall, it's called the wall. And the free throw percentage is, when you play at the Clippers, the opposing team, the free throw percentage is at the lowest in the NBA because of this wall. Right, right. Because it's a vertical wall. There's 500 fans that are, absolute psychopaths. We get the craziest people that wear all clipper gear and lose their fucking minds.

Yeah. Crackheads. The entire game. You guys are just bringing in psychopaths to stand in that section. Yeah, it's a psychopaths for the good of the clippers, and I am fully about it. It's science. And it was so fun, and they asked me if I want to do this thing called Divine Intervention for the opening home game. and that my head was floating on that giant

that huge jumbo tron that they have there at the game and this is like a blimp the blimp thing no they have a giant screen that goes all the way around right right uh and my head was like floating on which is pretty cool looking uh and then it's cool it's kind of cool it's kind of cool it's so they give me the they give me the microphone

and I'm allowed to yell and do crazy shit until the player gets the ball and then they cut the microphone. So people thought I was screaming as he's shooting but that wasn't the case. I'm screaming until the referee let's go of the ball and then the player gets it

and then they cut the mic. Because you're on a mic, but you can scream, you can scream, you just can't scream into the mic. And you could have said anything, right? I could have said anything. You had a lot of power right there. I sure did. Shoulda, what a coulda.

Damn. You did a lot of power. But it was mostly like bring the energy, you know, that shit. And then he missed the free throw. It was pretty cool. So now do you have to do it all the time now? No. I just did it the once.

And they gave me court side seats. Yeah. Yeah, it was sick. It was the best. And yeah, they missed it. I got a lot of hate for it. A lot of hate for it. The comments were brutal.

Who missed the other team? The other team. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He missed his free throw. It was huge. But yeah. They're like, how dare he do this?

What is the NBA? coming to, but then you look at what they do in Europe, and it's absolute mayhem. Right. They've got like smoke bombs and fucking, yeah. And you're like, that, isn't that what sports are about? It's like the fan experience of just being absolute psychopaths in the stands to try to get the other team to miss. That's, to me, that's what's cool about it. So, game on.

Adam, remember when you stabbed Monica Ellis tennis player? Yeah, he just got her. I don't know those words, Matt. She got stabbed. She was a tennis player, a fan stabbed her. I didn't know that. When did this happen? The 80s.

Oh. Topical. Topical. 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. 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 occur. 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.

My book The Big Short tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become,

and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Isman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie,

I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The big short story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics. Get the big short now at Pushkin.fm slash audiobooks or wherever audiobooks are sold. When people stormed the court or the field, what are the feelings here? Like during a game? No, no, no, like at the end of a game. Usually it's like college, right?

Yeah, I say in college, it's fine. Yeah. Because they're college kids and it's exciting and, you know, and then the players are also college kids. So they're like, look, my homies are running. We're all celebrating. blast. But in the NFL, those guys can then beat up whoever comes on the field. Right. I think in the, in college, it's fine. It's all funding games. Once it's, they're pro and

they're like, hey, if you tackle me and I twist an ankle and I miss three weeks, I'm missing five million. That's the case in college now. That's the case in college now. They're getting Millie. Yeah, but they still would get those same Millie. It's not pay for pay for play. It's not like you have to play a certain amount of games. If a guy gives you three million dollars to come on for the team, if you get hurt, you still get the $3 million. I don't know the intricacies of people's deals. And if it's like, hey, we're going to give you one to come here and we're going to give you one at the end of the season, I don't know the deals. But I'm just saying money is also a factor now in college. Sure. That is true. So you might have, you might see some football

players beating up some college kids. You're right. But I do know the deals. And that's not the case. Oh, I forgot. It's what I said, yeah. Nice. Are you guys pro-storming then? Is that what you're saying? Are you pro-storming? I don't know.

In college, I think it's fun. It seems fun. In the pros, I'm like, you know, chill. What about storming the Capitol? Stormy Daniels? Are you pro that? What about Stormy Daniels? Storming the Capitol?

Did she ever? He's all about storms, apparently. Did the Capitol just win something? Yeah, like an election. Yeah. Oh, yeah, if you're pro. If you're pro that election. Okay.

Fuck it. If you're in a celebratory manner, storm on, dude. Let me get this on the record. Let me get this on the record real quick. Yeah. Blake Anderson, do you like elections? I'm into him. I say like, if your guy wins, storm.

We got a storm. If your guy loses, he storm. Okay. Let's storm everything. Let's storm more shit. And you think votes are really counted? Okay. To a point, to an extent.

They round up for sure. Storming. And do you think votes? should be able to storm the field. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Okay, you heard of here? I'm just trying to make some clickbait, guys.

Rage bait. You know what I mean? You're doing really great. Well, you guys are talking sports and all that, but my Super Bowl was kind of a couple days ago as well. Did you guys at all tune into... We weren't talking about the Super Bowl at all. Well, we're talking sports.

Just say World Series. My World Series was a few days ago. Did you guys tune into the versus battle of the cash money millionaires and the no-limit soldiers in Las Vegas for complex economy? No, I did not. No, no, no. It sounds awesome. I feel like no-limit soldiers must have gotten mopped.

Am I crazy? And you think they would, but this is it. No, no, no, no, no. It was no-limit soldiers versus who? Cash money. Cash-money millionaires? Yeah. And who's the cash-money millionaires?

Juvenile, B-B-B. Lil Wayne, Birdman, Manny Fresh, and then, and then, um, no limit is Master P, Sope the Shocker,

He's in the middle of a I do like the idea of someone who's never heard mystical They're like, I think he's chunking They're like, no, actually this is how he rapsed No, that's actually just how he raps Shut the air Someone got to work out with a foot in my ass

Put in my ass Oh Gotcha bitch And I like the idea of them saying I think he's chunking And they're like, what? Like from this is important podcast Oh, nah nah no

The guys that are about to close a major deal that we can't talk about yet. We can't talk about. We can't quite talk about. Maybe next week. I will say, like, I don't know. Did you guys tune in any of the verses during? Like, it's the greatest thing that came out of COVID. Like, I was hooked to that shit.

That shit was off the fucking hook. Somehow, it's off my radar now almost completely. I kind of have lost sight of it too. So you don't like, you don't like sports then? No, I love sports. I love sports. But you said this was your World Series. This was.

So the World Series. You know Halloween's coming up? This was his giant pumpkin packs. Dude, these are two of the most influential, important, like, hip-hop groups for me coming up. Like, there's so much music in between them that is just so fucking rad. So I was just hyped. The master pee make them say, music video is unbelievable. It's the tank dogs, man.

It's so sick. I will say I'm a master pee. I like that crew a little more. You're no limit. you're a no limit soldier um i'm a no limit soldier personally um but if you told me that they all were no limit soldiers i would i would believe you if you just if you told me that little wayne was a no limit soldier i would go oh yeah okay that makes sense he doesn't have much many limits yeah he's a no limit soldier yeah they seem like the same crew they don't seem did snoop come out

he did he did at the end he did he did uh you know what you know what But maybe I did see something about this. Yes. But that's why, Adam, and this is why it should be very important to you. Both rap crews are very much New Orleans representatives. Yes. That's why they feel like they're the same. Yes.

So it was a very... And that's what people were kind of clowning about it. Like, it was at Vegas and it wasn't so turned up. But I think it was... I think if they did it in New Orleans, it would have gone a little too... Complex. It's cool that it was at Vegas, not in Vegas. That's a cool thing.

Yeah, yeah, it was around. It was at, it was kind of at there. Yeah, why not, why not do it in New Orleans? I just think it could have got, like, a little too spice. You just said they packaged it as part of ComplexCon, right? It was. You know how my dad says New Orleans, and it drives me crazy every time? My dad says New Orleans, New Orleans drives me.

Yeah, I think that's common for people his age. That shit's important. It drives me nuts. Even, no matter how many times I tell him, I go, actually they just pronounce it in New Orleans and he's like, no, no, they don't. Chloe's from New Orleans and she goes no, they do. It's New Orleans.

My wife. It's New Orleans and he's like I don't think so. I've been. Does he say Oregon? You know, probably that would check out. Yeah. Fuck it. Yeah, I think that it's like how we, some people say Iraq now. Oh, yeah. People that age, they say Iraq.

They're living under Iraq. There it is. What they're doing. People say Iraq? That's how it's correct. Iraq and they say Iran? Yeah. Because that's how it's pronounced. But like in the 90s, it was definitely Iraq and Iran. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. For sure. We were hard, hard A. By the way, for me,

still is. I didn't know. Now you're just acting like your dad, dude. Yeah. Well, I didn't know. I didn't know. Now, now, guess what? You're going to change? No. Probably not. No, never. Probably not. This. My God. I am my father. I'm my father's son.

You know, my son's son. Well, maybe you should flip back. My father's keeper. What does that mean? I'm my father's keeper. I guess it's brother's keeper. brothers you're not your father's keeper again just trying to get clicks you're trying to get clicks these guys don't know what father's keeper is click here to see if they actually do rage bait i will say rage bait you're living rage bait dude it's uh it does bug me like i'm starting to see some shit that i'm like this actually pissing you off pisses me off and i know it's just to get people pissed off right like i saw one about

The guy was singing, and it did not seem like AI. It was a guy singing a song about how much he doesn't like his kid and how cool he was compared to his son at his age. And his son was sitting next to him, like rolling his eyes, being like, oh, dad. And I'm like, he for sure coached his son. Like, I'm going to do this insane song. It's not about you, but sit here, roll your eyes, look a little mad.

And I'm going to get all these clicks. And like, what's the point? Adam, don't knock it until you try it. How far are we from you just busting out this song to your kid? No, no, no. Yeah, you've got a mouth it. All right, hey, I was just dog ear this one, everyone listening. So, wait, you, you, that doesn't seem like rage bait.

You were just mad because it was obviously fake. You thought they should have acted it better? Well, no, I think it was rage bait. It's to get people upset that this guy was being a blatant bad father. Like, shitting on his son in front of him. Right. Like, you can shit on your kids, but you do it to other adults when your kids aren't around. Sure.

Right. And you can put it to song. You can put it to song. Just don't let the kids listen to that song, you know? Hey, and you can post it. Yeah. You can post it. Yeah.

You can post it. Just close friends. Just don't have your kid sitting on the couch next to you in the music video. That's kind of cool, though, to, like, release a whole album about how much you hate your son. That's like a new dynamic. The kid makes the beats. I mean, Eminem kind of did it. about his, I guess that was his ex-wife.

It was his ex-wife. She wanted to kill the bitch and show her where the ocean is. Right, right. Haley was the one who said my dad's gone crazy. Ah, yes, of course. Where's my snare? Where's my snare? I think my dad gone wrong.

God, we're so old. Mm-hmm. Wow, dude. So old. Haley's 30. Haley is a grown woman. Right? I mean, I don't fucking know, but graduated from college.

How old is Haley? She's always going to be a little Haley to me. Okay. How old is Haley? Isaac get on that. Don't demean her. Who's Haley? What am I looking up?

I see dead people. Haley Mathers. Haley Mathers. Dang, I never realized. The little Forrest Gump. So I'm talking because she's going around Isaac, because Isaac isn't getting back to her quick enough. The woman, she's 29, so you were close.

She's almost 30. Okay, keep it tabs, a little weird. The woman who's putting, who's producing. She's beautiful. The cruise. She's 5.7. Yes. Isaac's not getting back to her.

So she's DMing me. Okay. Yeah. She's like, I'm having a hard time getting a hold of Isaac. So can you answer some questions? So I'm like, I'm talking with her. Punk rock, getting radical. The key that everyone's going to use, they were like, hey, we're thinking about a few

funny things from the podcast, maybe Kermit the Frog like puking in a toilet or something. Oh, that's cool. Or a few other ones. Yeah. And then she pitched, or we can put Isaac shirtless, with a pierced nipple. And I'm like, done.

That's done. Sold it. On every key for the cruise. And I feel like that's an easiest. Yeah. And that's good. We got to do that so that in like a thousand years when aliens land and we've all bombed each other, they just find one of those keys and they're like, I guess this was

society back then. This guy looks. And it says on the key that this is important. Yeah. Holy shit, we've found something here. Yeah. Because I'm excited for that. That's a real keepsake.

Is that what they are? Yeah, it's a keepsake. Yeah. Cool. I got the word right. Hell of yeah. And you're going to collect it. Like, you collect all weird little things.

I mean, I'm still just sitting on this thing, Twin Peaks. Thank you. Collecting things is kind of your Olympics, right? Yeah, well, I would say. Is it your Super Bowl? It's kind of your winner Olympics, man? Yeah. That's cool that you catch that.

I was like, I was going to keep that, the Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks. Show it, show it. So they sent this to us. I think we showed this on air. Yeah, we did. It's beautiful. But I don't have a mouse, so I don't need a mouse pad.

I don't either. You don't need one. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. It comes in handy. Yeah. If you know what I'm saying. Blake keeps his on the center console of his car.

Yeah, dude. Just for a little extra. I'm like, doesn't it just take up space? Like, what are you doing? I threw mine away so fast. I'm literally always resting. wrist on it right here. Like as you're talking to me, my wrist is resting on. Because your wrist is always very sore from... What? From what? I don't know. I'm asking. I don't know. It's just

like fatigued. Oh. From... Isn't beating off kind of your March Madness? Who what? I had carpal tunnel as a, as a high schooler. I don't doubt it. So... I believe that. Well, it wasn't, it wasn't from anything malicious. No one's saying it is. Something delicious. Malicious. It was from something delicious. Why'd you make him come?

I got it from bowling. It was from bowling. Oh, sure. It was from bowling too much. And sweeping. The large company that we are about to maybe close this deal with is going to listen to the podcast this episode and say, Nah.

Huh. Yeah. We're good. A lot of sports up top where nobody knew what the fuck they were talking about. And then it's. devolves into malicious stuff about coming. Delicious, delicious, delicious stuff. Delicious and delicious, baby.

That's great, man. Who's ready for Halloween? Are you guys dressing up? Oh, hell, yeah. Let's talk about. Well, this is going to be post- Halloween. Halloween is tomorrow. I'm very excited.

What are you guys going to be? Well, I'm, you know. Besides great dads. I'm going to dress up as a good father. Yeah. it looks nothing like how you dress I'm actually a good father oh okay

well why didn't you dress normally because I'm dressed as a good father it wouldn't be a costume yeah because I'm dressed as a good father yeah that's a great costume really good I'm gonna dress as part of Lightning McQueen's pit crew

okay because Bo is Lightning McQueen the hell yeah he is yeah that's dope Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm gonna be, uh, I'm gonna be a rodeo clown. Yeah. Pretty excited about that. I see that. I see that for you.

And it's because your, what child is going as a, see, that's the thing. Why do we have to, like, bring our kids trick-or-treating? I know. Why do we even have to be there? Like, why do we have to bring up the kids, man? Like, I just want to go trick-or-treating by myself. I want to dress up as... It's because you're 42 years old.

Oh, damn near. Yeah. I'm not 42. bro, don't tack years on my life. In the handful of months, you're 42. I might not make it, brother. I might not make it. That's fair.

You're like three months away, four months away from 42. I'll be 42 in a week. Really? Yeah, 42. Jesus. That's right. God damn. How are you already 42?

I'm still 44, aren't I? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That mustache. I thought we were the same age. No. Sorry, I thought we were.

What? I thought I was, sorry. Oh, no. This day's going off the rails. I thought I was three years older than you. I think you must be two and a half years older than me. Oh, that's crazy. There's no way to know.

There's zero way to figure that out. Yeah, we need Isaac to Google our ages. Yeah, so in one week, I will turn 42. And I feel when you're almost turning 42, and you are currently still 41, much like you, Blake. You sort of get dressed. as if your kid's going to go something, you sort of go like,

well, I'll just be a conduit to his joy. And this is all about him. And I know you make Halloween all about you and into your rodeo clown. It's the Blake show. But guess what? Halloween is, I'm dressing as a good father. I'm dressing as a good father.

And that good father is Lightning McQueen's pit crew. All right? Who? Blake is a, Blake likes to make a, a costume. He does. Halloween is my Super Bowl, all right? And I'm going to enjoy it how I like it.

And nobody... No fucking three-year-old is going to tell me what to be, all right? All right, yeah. I can pick my own damn costume. Thank you very much. So your daughter is not dressed in any way part of a clown or a rodeo or... She can dress. She's not getting out of the house. He said fucking booby traps. She is also a clown.

Yeah. Okay. We're all clown. We're all. Okay. So I was taking you for a walk. I was taking you for a walk. I,

but I am kind of mad that I am giving in to this whole thing because it didn't. My mom never dressed as what I was dressing as. Yeah, yeah. Did your mom dress? Absolutely. She put on a witch hat. She put on a little witch hat. Okay.

That's what I do. I just put on a witch hat. I've literally done that with you, Blake. And I don't mean to dogg on our parents. But I truly feel our generation are better parents than their generation by, I think, a long shot. Here's what I'll say. That shit's important. Okay, I like this.

Here's what I'll say. This is a hot take. It's wild. They're like, hey, they're going to be back from the field trip in about 15 minutes because, like, they're tagging them on, like, the bus route back. Right. Even though, like, the school says, hey, we'll text you when the buses are going to be, like, five minutes away.

They're like, the text chains are wild, dude. I don't trust. I don't trust it. We're scared. We're all very scared. Our parents didn't give a fuck, dude. I'm not that scared. I'm like, what are we scared of?

I'm not, Blake's a bitch. I'm not scared. I mean, I'm pretty scared, but I have daughters. It's wild, dude. It's a little different. Yeah. The game's a little different. Yeah, I would say that's, having daughters a little scarier.

My kid is the only kid who just bikes to school on his own. I love that, dude. That's amazing. I love that. My kid's going to do that. Everyone's shocked. I'm like, I wonder if people are like, you know, he bikes by himself. Well, he's parents.

And they're like, what? It's weird. Have you seen his mustache? Yeah. I won't let my kids near his dad. Did you see what he dressed up as for Halloween? Yeah. His joke was.

He was his good father. That was his joke. And, you know, they haven't even closed the deal yet for the new thing. They wanted to talk about the, their manager said they can mention it, but the deal is not closed. I don't trust a guy like that. They haven't sold out the cruise yet. Have you listed? So, where's the hat everywhere.

Dude, you guys, I went to a Halloween party last weekend and wore the most, I've been working all day. You guys already left for the party without me, and I need to show up wearing something. I put on fucking like wide leg jeans and like a big hoodie and a Darth Vader mask. Oh. Oh, so what were you? And I skateboarded over to this fucking house and rolled up carrying a skateboard and people were like, what is going on? You know what I mean? Wait, first of all, I didn't know you could skateboard any amount of distance.

Yeah, what the hell? I can't. Yeah. I mean, I skateboarded five blocks. That's actually. an insanely far distance for what I could imagine you. Yeah. Is this a longboard?

Yeah, this was a longboard that we got from, all right, okay. From like Mountain Dew sent us these a long time ago. Oh, thank God. Oh my God. You still have that Baja blast longboard? Yeah. Wow.

Dude, that is the one thing I gave away. I just put it in our like sports cubby. It's never been used until the other day. So if anyone out there listening, wants to guess ahead what I was. I was dressed as a skater and had the Darth Vader mask on. So I was...

Darth Skater. There you go. Yes, points. That's very cool. And you know, I'm not a big fan of those, but I literally was like, I went into my kids' like costume drawer. The Darth Vader mask was right there, and I was like, great. Well, I would say that's a pretty

elite level costume to pull together that quickly. Yeah, that's beautiful. Because I would have gone as a professional baseball player and just worn this hat. Right. Or just a good dad. I'm a good dad.

I showed up. Are there still hot dogs? What are we doing? We all. 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.

My book The Big Short tells the story of the build-up and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely, but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding.

Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short Story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, it is as relevant today as it's ever been,

offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics. Get the big short now at pushkin.fm slash audiobooks or wherever audiobooks are sold. My dad never dressed up, not one time. My parents never dressed up. Not one time. Not one time.

Maybe my mom dressed up as a jeep. Gypsy, which was the thing you could do in the 80s? What's the hell? Your mom was brown face? None. I don't know if gypsies are a certain color. I think it's just kind of... I wasn't necessarily tagging onto that.

Nomadicness to a gypsy. She just had like big earrings. Well, what is wrong with dressing as a gypsy? Is that not a thing? Well, I don't think the word gypsy is a good word anymore. I don't think you're supposed to say the word gypsy. Why? I think that's a derogatory term.

Why? And look, I'm just speaking historically. I believe, I think the word comes from like, connotation. Yeah, it's not, it's just not good. Gypsy. Yeah, but you don't know why. I like how Blake goes, it's not good. It just says it for no reason.

You're so uncomfortable. I just, by the way, have you ever met a gypsy? I don't think they exist. They were a thing. They were like, they were like, people. People, Thebes, they were... Hey, listen, let's ask, Gemini says Brown. I don't know how

brown they need to be. The only time I've ever seen a gypsy is in Peeky Blinder's. And what? It was definitely not good. And half of his family they come from a long line of gypsies and they travel around.

Exactly, it's a nomadic thing. And they're tricksters. They're tricksters. They're tricksters. They might trick you out. of some of your hard-earned cash and read your palms and that kind of shit. They're savvy. They're con artists. I think they're kind of cool.

Gemini AI says you can say gypsy, but it depends on the context, as the word can be considered both a legitimate and an offensive term. It is best used as a specific term. The fuck? Who cares?

Romani, Roma, Traveler. Roman. Romani. Somebody who roams. Are they roaming? people? No.

Were they Roman? With an apostrophe at the end. No. Well, you shut up. What, dude? I'm just thinking... God, dude, you're so dumb. Where were gypsies from?

Where are they from? The point is they're not from anywhere. They are nomadic. Yeah, they roam around. That's what they do. Everybody's from somewhere. Everybody's from somewhere. You're so...

Your mind is so narrow. Do you really believe that? In Picky Blinders, they were from England, and they were would just travel around all over and you could never quite find them you know because they're always in their wagons who are some of famous examples of gypsies aladdin he was a gypsy right what wasn't aladdin a gypsy no i think he was a homeless guy he's just a homo riffrapped you know i was a i went as Halloween as a hobo classic yeah it's classic little

hobo every i think i did too you just put like dirt on your face and then we're like your oldest clothes. Very offensive. Bo, I'm going to dress him as a hobo. That's kind of funny. Hobo-bo? Yeah. Like a little hobo-bo. Hobo. That's pretty... Okay, wait. That's points. Yes, points.

I got nothing for trick-or-treating tomorrow. I'm kind of scared. I'm going to have to... You have no candy? Well, A, nobody comes on our street for... except for me. Nobody comes... Yes, points. On our street for trick-or-treating. You come on your street? Yeah, just to like...

You know, feed the birds. Yeah, Mark Territories. Yeah, I get that. I'm going to come. Just so everyone knows you're a good dad. Yeah. Check me out. Look at all the comments.

Oh, all right. Have at it. He must be a good dad. Oh, look, they hung spider webs for Halloween. Did I? Darth Skater. And, guys, the deal did fall through. The deal is not closing.

The deal, yeah. Uh-huh. And it fell through. We can mention it, but the deal is not closing. It's getting worse. It's cool. If we do mention it, oh, you'd rather we did it. Oh, okay.

Okay. Fair enough. And that's because it did fall through? Okay, we'll try to get it back. We'll try to get it back. Nobody trick-or-treats on our street. Because it's wide too dark. There's come everywhere.

Of course. Yeah, they're going to slip. But I got nothing. I haven't thought of anything. So I'm going to have to come up with. Maybe I'll just... Do you want us to help you? Use the mustache.

I'll carry a lightsaber and throw up everywhere and I'll be a pukke Skywalker. I don't know what we're doing. Okay. We'll do it a lot. Maybe you talk to... Maybe you open a portal to another realm, talk to Lamal's spells well, and see if he can loan you a costume. Yeah, maybe whizz it up.

Or you know what I like about Halloween. But then I got to go buy a beard because his is real. That's true. And you would have to buy a beard. What if you just dress in female clothing? Why don't you go just in like a dress? As the world's tallest woman. Yeah.

Classic. And just bleed real. blood. Halloween's a great day to wear a dress, I think. Yeah, I agree. I mean, every day is a pretty good one. Yeah, go for it. Knock yourself out.

I'm not going to do that. I'm going to dress as a good dad. I'm going as a good mom. Yeah, you go as a good mom. Best mom. And what is a mom? And, you know, my kid wanted me to be a clown, but daddy's going as a good mom. And how would you describe what a mom is?

Yeah. I'm happy you have daughters. That's your daughter in the water. Takebacks, send the apologies. Is it already that time? It sure is. Sad. This was fun. I hope we continue this

convo on the next one. Wait, what are you dressing as, Blake? Me? I'm a rodeo clown. That's right, that's right. Yeah. I'm looking very forward to it. I love clowns, personally. Makes sense. We have Paw Patrol happening in our family still and some gladiators.

And I'm like, gladiator. What? Yes, points! I guess. That was an old workaholics. Writer's room. Yeah, we are... Bumpy fuck.

Yeah, we're going to go trick-or-treating super, super early. The start time for trick-or-treating over here, 4.30. Holy moly. If that's not the earliest trick-or-treat time, I'm like... But that's for the littlest ones before it gets, like, dark and super scary when teenagers are just running around with, like, head wounds. Oh, it's the best. That was so fun. Dude, I don't know.

Bo has been outside at night maybe five times. Damn. He is not, he is very much in the house by the time it gets dark. What's up with that? He just goes to bed every night. He's got to be drinking his baba in his room at 7 p.m. Right. So, yeah.

But what about on like a Friday in the summertime? Yeah, 18 inning game. It's still light out by 9 o'clock. Well, now it's starting to get dark. Is this his first daylight savings time? No, no, no. He's almost two. Hmm.

Yeah. You know how that works? It's okay. None of us know the age of anybody. You guys, the deal's back on. The deal's back? They just heard that and they were like, there's no way he's that stupid.

We need to hear more. You cannot announce it. Maybe I just did. But the deal is indeed back on, potentially. Okay. Celebrate. Celebrate good time. I'm having a blast with you guys, man.

Well, I can't wait for him to see darkness. That's going to be great. I remember the first time I saw darkness. He's, uh, hello darkness, my old friend. I remember my first, yeah. He gets very scared. Um, he's been, you know, he's been outside in the backyard and stuff, but like out in the wild at night. Not, not that often.

Right. He gets very scared during the cars, in the movie cars, when it gets dark and he, and the, and the car gets lost. Oh, dude. Sure. He will run. He will run and find you, even though you're like eight feet away. I thought you were going to say that during the combine, does the combine freak them out? What's the combine? When they go cow tipping, they go tractor tipping and then the combine comes out.

My kids used to fucking lose it. Very scary. Kids don't know scary. And then I'd be like, Daddy's a combine. I'm going to get you. Kids don't know scary anymore. We grew up with scary-ass movies. And they got the combine at the ride at Disneyland or whatever the fuck it's called over there.

California land. I'm excited to take them to all that stuff. Just being at the World Series, I was like, man. And I wish Bo was eight. So I could take him to the World Series and have him be like, whoa, this is the coolest thing I've ever done. Careful what you wish for. I'm just going to say that, careful what you wish for.

Yeah. Why? We've all seen Click. We've all seen it. I mean, I'm just going to say, look, Aladdin, we all know the gypsy story of Aladdin. You had three wishes. Let's just be careful what we're wishing for.

Oh, you're saying like a monkey paw scenario. That's what you're talking about. I don't even want to say it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're absolutely right. It's almost the devil's day. And we can't be wishing things. Yeah, you're right. We can't be wishing away our lives. You got to be very careful. I feel like today is actually devil's night in Detroit, where they like light shit on fire and stuff. Isn't that just in the crow? No, that's real? No, it's a real night. It's a real night. It sounds fucking cool. So in Detroit, Devil's Night, explain more, because I've never heard of this. They just burn the city down. They just make that pizza?

I think they, like, go and, I mean, I don't know. I've never participated, but I think they, like, burn abandoned buildings down. Or, like, that was a tradition. Dude, this is, like, when you go to, like, a new school and you're like, there's gang fights on the roof, someone got thrown off last year. Like, what are you talking? They burn buildings now? Yeah.

I think. I think that's what it is. A fire was set in 88, and we're still talking about it. No, I think this is exactly, Durs said it right. This is when you go to a new school, some kids are like, I was punk the new kid. and they're like, actually, like, don't go down that hallway. Kids get stabbed if they go down that hallway. And then you spend the rest of the school year being late to class

because you have to walk all the way around and to never go down this one hallway. Right. Because you were a scared little bitch. Well, I know Devil's Night's a real thing. That kid over there leading the cheer wall? The night before Halloween, it can be associated with widespread arson and vandalism in Detroit.

Is that right? And what are you reading? You're reading something. You didn't explain what you're reading. I am reading historical significance. I'm reading. Sounds like rage bait. No, it's real.

Well, real what? A real article generated by AI? Yeah, it's AI. Thank you. It's AI, yeah. Okay. But that's the first thing that comes up. I'd rather ask Ti.

Okay. Now, that's a verses I would love. What was Tiye's wife's name? Tiny? Tiny, yeah. Right? Is it? Can't spell Tiny without TIE.

Right. Okay, is there any takebacks? Tiny Harris. Thank you, Todd. Tiny Harris. Thank you. Any tapebacks, any apologies, any epic slam? I mean, I guess we just want to slam ourselves for not talking about the dang...

Dang deal. Vegas. Oh. Oh, yeah, Las Vegas. Coming up. We have a live show in Vegas. It's at the Cozapolitan. Yes.

The theater's called the... Viva. Viva. Is it the Chelsea? What's the theater called? What is it called? Isaac, Isaac clocked out. Yeah, Isaac...

He must be on deck. We needed him so bad today. So bad today. Well, you know, he clocked out because I mentioned the thing about his nipples. He did not know about the nipple cards. It can't be that. I have to be a good dad.

But it is. Now he's... And by the way, Now he's clocking in about the Detroit thing. No, no, no. Oh, that's not even about what we're talking about. No, no. And there's more.

The Chelsea. What is this? I was asleep at the wheel today. I needed you, Isaac. He is copy and pasting straight out of chat cheap with those bullet points there. Absolutely. He's going to accidentally post the link for the website he was looking at instead of being. Okay, so let's talk about mischief night.

That's what it's called. The tradition of Detroit version of Mischief Night, which began in Europe. And arrived in the U.S. in the early 30s and 40s, the escalation in Detroit. The night's activities escalated for minor pranks like egging and toilet papering. Dude. Love it. Do you miss egging in toilet papering? That was my shit.

Still do it. Dude. I heard they would egg entire buildings on fire. Damn right, dude. Ders, I could see you never egging in toilet papering. Were you an egger in a toilet paper? For sure. Don't know if I egged.

Definitely did toilet papering, but it wasn't on Halloween. It would be like... yeah we would just do it on like a Tuesday there was like a swimming thing when like the girls whoever qualified for like state you would TP their houses they would TP yours it was a big deal I love that when you when you finally achieve like a lifelong dream other kids come and vandalize your house yeah that's pretty tight that's cool for the parents yeah some parent this is what's crazy hey there are two things to this story okay I got dressed down by some dad who's like you didn't fucking come to my house and fucking TP my daughter now she's all sad because everybody else got TP and she doesn't feel like you belong and I was like, oh, I'm sorry, the police rolled up on us because we have fucking two black teammates

who somebody was like, there's some black kids in our front yard. Oh, okay. And I'm like, so step back, please, sir. We almost got arrested and they're like, you're on the swim team? We're like, yes, these guys are on the swim team. I didn't do.

They're like, they're on the swim team. We're all on the swim team. We're all on the swim team. Okay, so I understand that you're on the swim team. swim team. That makes sense. They're on the swim team? The ones we've already put in the squad car. They're on the swim team.

Sir. Yeah, but that was the extent of my T-Ping. And you'd get like shaving cream and right shit on the sidewalk. But yeah, fully like, they were like, okay, go home now. And we're like, all right, fuck it. And then some dad was like, what's the big who are you behind this? I'm like,

who are these dads? You're talking to a 17-year-old. Who are these dads? It sucks to get in trouble for not tee peeing. Crazy. We got paintballed one time. Sure. We would just kind of go around and look for good trees to teepee.

So we just hopped out, found a house. We're like, oh, this is a great tree to teepee. Yeah, you guys were like artists. It was like an installation. Yeah, it was like this is. It was actually even before we had cars. So we was like we would ride bikes around with backpacks of toilet paper. And then we would teepe a tree.

And then this guy came out with a paintball gun and just. Love it. Lit us up, dude. Love it. That's sweet. Yeah. My friend got hit in the throat. Yep.

Like, thought he was going to die. Like, we drug him away as if he was hurt in battle. Right. This is Forrest Gunt. Yeah. It was like, Leave me! Dude, a pink ball to the throat is no joke.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, and we're like 14 years old. It was pretty rough stuff. Damn. I wish he had a deep voice after that. It was, uh... I'm good.

Yeah, all of a sudden he's like, I'm good. Was a payball situation, Mama? We're good. Do you remember in middle school, though, when someone would come back with all of a sudden a deep voice and then the girls started like Lycamore and people were the like whispers, like, I heard his dick is huge now. You guys remember that? I thought it was balls.

Who started the whispering? You would whisper it or you heard? It was mostly me and my friends being like, I think he must have a huge dick now. And actually it was more, I was like, dude. It was just more you in bed at night. I think he must have a huge dick now. I can't wait for my voice to drop. Someday.

Someday. My voice never dropped. No, it didn't. All I remember about people who ended up having deep voices was that they were the kids who had the most like, like the vocal cords were like really doing work and then got deep. Well, I remember when my voice started to change and I was in eighth grade, I was still calling in every day for the radio station.

Yeah. And I used to call in. the radio station, do different characters, do different voices. It was my thing because I couldn't play sports because I was crippled. Hello. And so I would do that every day. And then, but I never, up until later, I never told them my actual name. And I would just only talk to them in the characters that I'm doing.

And then they'd put me on air. And I go, no, and then I went down to the station. They found out who I was. They're like, you're a child. We can't pay you. But they'd give me free concert tickets. and, you know, cranberry CDs and Marcy Playground CDs and shit.

Oh, cool. It was sick. And then, so then I call in, and my voice all was changing. And I start to do my character. And they're like, this isn't Adam. Sorry, we're not going to put this on the air. This isn't Adam. And I'm like, it is me.

No, it's me. And they didn't believe me. Look, my dick got bigger. And I was devastated. And then after that, I couldn't really, they wouldn't allow my calls. Wow. Yeah. Well, you'll find somewhere to perform. Yeah. I still believe in you.

I ended up finding something, but it was pretty devastating in the eighth grade. Yeah. And they're all dead now anyway, dude. Yeah, you got them. I don't know if they are. Pizza pizza. I don't know. They will be.
