This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHart Radio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This Is Important. The more you say sniff my bag, the harder I give. She catches me staring, and then I go, I'm so sorry. I just think your body looks great.

Get yourself some knee pads. Get down there. Let's go. Woo! Fuck it. Illegalized comedy. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell. Is that what you're trying to do with those keys?

You picked up what I was putting down. I couldn't hear those keys even a little bit, but I saw what you were doing. I couldn't hear what you were doing. What is he doing? Still can't hear. What are you doing with that? He's jingling keys in front of the microphone, but it's, It's not picking up.

He was going to be a jingly or jangly. He's going for a jinglebell rock situation. Is this cool? Does this make me cool? Whoa, you got a tomahawk. Can I guess who's tomahawk that is? Oh, that's not from a figuring. That's an axe key opener that you have on your key chain or a beer opener. It's a multi-tool. Every man should have a multi-tool. And this is- That is sick.

This is mine. When it's in your pocket, not a good time. Otherwise- Yeah, you're almost slicing your dick off all the time. And also, you can't go to an airport with that. No, you can't take that on a plane. I have. You have. I think it is, I think it is plain okay. You know how like you buy something and if it's questionable on the website, they go like,

TSA approved. Well. Gotcha, bitch. Yeah, but the thing is, is then they're looking at that every time. And I don't want to slow down because usually I have drugs in my backpack. Right. Right. So I don't want to slow.

have them stop, look at my cool keychain when I have a duffel bag of marijuana on me at all times. I do love the idea of you like throwing a fucking tantrum fit at TSAB, you think, I don't have time for this. My backpack's full of drugs. It's full of drugs.

Ooh. Hey. Well, Chloe in the past has gone. I brought drugs out of the country. Okay. And then came back into the country with the rest of the drugs. Come on, Bo.

Shit it out, Bo. Shit it out, Bo. Come on. No, that's Prebo. This is Prebo. And then we come back into the country, and then there was a dog sniffing bags. Sure. And there was two lines that you could go through through customs.

So I went the line without the drug dog. That would make sense. And the dog came over and sniffed Chloe's bag. And then Chloe goes, Adam, Adam, the dog didn't sniff your bag. Come back. You lose. And I'm like, ah. And then the guy stops and now he's looking at me.

The cop is like, I can hear you. The cop is like, come back. Yeah. And so now I had to go back the, you know, this dog obviously. Even the dog was like, is she serious? Yeah, what the other? Hey, owner. The dog goes, ah.

Err? Err. But, you know, I don't think those dogs sniff for wheat. I think they don't care about the weed. They're looking for bombs, explosives. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. They're bomb sniffers.

Yeah. I believe so. I don't think it will. I mean, apparently, or else he was bad at his job because he snuffed my bag. That was filled to the breath. Once you got through the... The more you say sniff my bag, the harder I get. Sniff my bag.

Sniff my bag. Got my pecker hard. Once you got through the little gate, you're like, hey, your dog sucks. I got a hell of drugs in my bag. Sniff my bag. Bad dog. Adam. Bad dog.

Adam, seriously? Stop. Is that a thing? Bag sniffing? That feels like a pretty good. Everything's a thing. That's true. Everything's a thing.

I might incorporate that. Incorporate. Where were we were? I feel like as a group, we watched a video of a guy getting his bag. Boxed? Boxed. Like a speed bag. If I had to guess, it's probably the writer's room.

Allegedly. That's usually where. Allegedly. Research. Research. Sorry. Donkey! Oh, his bag.

as in Nutsack. Okay, I was putting... Yes, yes, yes, sorry. Allegedly! Yeah, no. I was asking a question in the chat that no one has responded to. That's cool.

We're on it. Yeah. Oh, I didn't even see that. I forgot. Adam, you picked up on the jingle bells. You're good. You're good the rest of the pub. Yeah, I'm good for the rest of the cast.

Okay. So next Thursday, so that's not a date. Tuesday. Tuesday. Okay. Are you asking if it's a new year? Yeah. New Year's, it's already past. The New Year's has already passed. Is January 6th? This comes out on January 6th? Oh, yeah. See, wouldn't that be nice to know? Is that the day? J6. Wouldn't that be nice to know? Jay 6. Where were we? Here. Goodbye. I'm always right here.

Happy J6 to all who celebrate. Yeah, does that become a new holiday? That's my father's birthday. Really? No joke. Now it is. Yeah. I changed it. I felt reborn on that day. I'd tell you. No, my dad is actually very liberal, almost to the point that it can be annoying. Okay. Like, he kisses black babies everywhere he goes.

Yeah, woke dad. Yeah, he can't stop kissing black babies. Two woke dads. I'm down, brother. He makes me call his person them. So that's strange for your father, but I'm doing it. And I'm okay with it and I'm okay with it. Yeah, which is nice because usually you flat out refuse.

Holding a black baby, we don't know where he got it from. But he says it's Somalian and he cares for it. That's cool, dude. Yeah, yeah, it's something. I'm sure there's some Somalian woman out there that's pretty bummed, but my dad's feeling good about himself. Grandpa is Tranpa. Just walking around Walmart looking for her baby.

No, because he then he lives in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, both my parents, too, obviously. And they... We just screened the address right across the bottom right now. And they, uh, they're surrounded by Trumpers down there. You know, they like the party out there. It's a big, big Trump community. And, uh, and then my dad's just always getting in fights with his neighbors and friends. Fiss fights.

Yeah. Not Fis fights, but just, just like, he's like, this asshole. But then they're the only people that they hang out with because there's no one else to hang out with. So it's just my dad and mom going to parties. And then leaving the party and my dad being like, that son of a bitch. And you're like, well, why? Your best friend you drink with two nights a week? Yeah, you hang out with this guy several nights a week.

I don't know why you hate their guests. It's contentious. That's okay, man. You know, that's the spice of life. Yeah. And can we talk about real quick? Sure. Here we go.

Yeah. And I think you know what we're going to want to talk about. I don't know. I have no clue. You're leaning in a little extra hard into the friends. I think you know what we're going to want to talk about. The color of your mustache. Yeah.

I think the answer is going to disappoint you. I think you're full on Enigo Montoya. Is that his name? I believe so. R.I.P. Rob Reiner. Great. Yeah. Let's circle back.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, you brought it up. I don't know if I want to joke about it while you were. God damn it. I'm going to sign off. You brought it up.

You named an iconic character. Yeah. Okay, so you're, what are you doing to your mustache? Why is it so much darker and thicker and fuller looking? Adam, this is. And I know that you got just for men hair stuff for the holidays for, was that a stocky to stupper? My, my mom got it for me as a gag gift, okay? Well, because we were, don't talk about my mom that way.

bro. Okay. Do not start. A gag gift. Do not. All right. Don't, Dirt. And you already did.

And I said don't. But that's about enough of that. Okay. It was a gag gift. And look, I didn't use it. This is an all natural mustache. I am combing my mustache with a bottle opener because it was just here and it's extra bushy.

Oh, you got one too. Yes. Yeah. Did I already show you guys my mouth? Um, but why is it so much darker? Adam, this is because I've been, I can't shave it. This is part of the project I'm on. So are your pubes just jet black?

No, I just shaved all my pubs. Well, Blake, you, you, you went from never shaving your mustache for a decade. Right. Then, you shaved it one time. And then when it comes back, suddenly it's 11 shades darker and much more thicker. and much more thicker and more beautiful looking. He's a different man.

I'm a man. I'm a man, dude. I'm a man. He's a man. I'm 40. I'm a man. Throw it down. Dude, this is just how it goes.

Yeah. Okay. That's life. This is how, wait, the response to Adam is this is how it goes. Dude, I think it's, we discussed this a little bit. It's because I have shaved everywhere else, and this is beyond 40. 40 days and 40 nights of untrimmed mustache

This is what happens Biblical levels It's getting busier But Blake I know you weren't trimming your mustache Before You went a decade without No

Yes That thing that patchy See through thing Brother trust me I have a little like buzzer That I put like a You know like steps Don't they call them steps

When you buzz your head like Clips? I think it's a clip Clippers but you put like steps on them Right isn't that what they are called? No I don't know I mean maybe but I've never heard that. Well, the length, you know, the length of the clipper. And I have one that I specifically go over my mustache with to keep it, you know, closer to the face.

And this is untamed stash. But you've never grown up that wide, correct? Something's going on with it. It's wider than ever. Thank you. I'm just saying it looks great. And if you haven't been dying, which I do seriously think you have been. But if that's your story and this is the story.

we're sticking with. Okay, come on. Yeah, it looks grosser when you put it right in the frame. Well, it was very close. I haven't been dying it, I promise. Did you guys, are we at the age where you get nothing that you like for Christmas or even no thoughtful gifts or nothing even useful? Because that's the age I meant. You know, I, Emma's pretty good.

She's pretty personal where you're like, that's so thoughtful. Oh, wow. Oh, that's nice. A gag gift. Yeah, Chloe is not. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I think Christmas has fallen down to, like, fourth place for me in terms of holidays. Third or fourth.

It's just not. But that's just because it's now on your shoulders and you hate responsibility and any sort of... Now you're the one that has to pay for everything. Oh, you cut me to the core. No, but the other thing is, is just like gift buying now is so terrible. Like, online gift buying to me is the most thoughtly. non-romantic thing you can do. It's terrible.

Don't you feel that way at all? A little bit. I like to shop in person, though, but I do obviously blast Amazon to the last minute being like, in this, fuck. Even how children, like, write out their Christmas list, it's just they just search what, like Amazon,

like when we were kids in the 90s. The 90s. We had commercials that sold you. you the shit. You still, I bet you could do like three commercial jingles for toys you wanted. Do they not do they not still do toy commercials on cartoons

and shit? Not, not really. But the kids don't watch cartoons because they're watching Netflix, but if you are watching TV sure, there's cartoons. Remember when it'd be like pow, pow, pow, power wheels, and you'd be like oh, fuck, I need that shit. Yeah, and you're like, cool, cool, cool, cool tools. So you guys had rich parents and I bought you power wheels?

Never had a power wheel. I never had a power wheel. I never had a power wheel. But I did want one. Yeah, no, me neither. Whenever I saw power wheels, I was like, they're parents of drug dealers, which I think stands, right? The test of time. Power wheel parents. Yeah, whenever I went over to a friend's house and they had power wheels and we lived in the same neighborhood, it made me question everything about my family.

I'm pissed now. Being like, well, where, what are we doing? If we can live in the same neighborhood and our houses are the same. And it's not like they've got like the newest, nicest car. We're all driving used Pontiacs sort of beater cars. Why do they love their child more?

That's kind of where I was getting. They're saving up all day or all year to buy their kids a power wheel. Adam, can I tell you something? I think, and we've covered this a little bit before, but I do think power wheels are the they're the hot dog spaghettios. of toys.

So delicious? So the best? It's just, it just ain't right. A bicycle is what you want. Okay. You think they're cool. They can't go anywhere. They can't go fast.

They look rad, but they get, they're played out real quick. Yeah, that's probably true. But power wheels are a little bit before you are. You think hot dogs and SpaghettiOs are a good idea until you realize they're, they can't go anywhere what they're doing to your something. Well, hot dog, spaghettios, I find to be delicious, so that doesn't really, I don't really relate to that. We've covered this. It's not good.

When's the last time you had them, though? Well, I haven't had SpaghettiOs in, I mean, I had a hot dog like a week ago, but. Let me just cut out. Let me ask you this. Have you had meat in pasta as an adult? Yeah, sausage. Of course. Bolognais?

Have you had hot dogs in pasta as an adult? Well, all I'm saying is, this is the big question. This is the big question. Have you? Well, I don't, I mean, no, I don't think so. But now that you're saying it, maybe that's a special treat for my son. Yeah. Hey, knock yourself out.

Go for it. You're your son. Who doesn't know any better? Who's like, Daddy, show me the way. How dare you? Show me the way. I don't know anything. It was fun.

Christmas was fun, though, because Bo, he's not quite two, right? But he's stringing together to little sentences. He understands a lot. And I come up the stairs and I'm waking him up. And I drop a classic. Oh, whoa. Oh, ho! Merry Christmas! We-gutterall.

It sounded good. I was like, oh, shit, that was a bomb. I dropped a bomb. And it was right up the hall. Right. I know the sonic boom, creeped underneath his door. And I opened up the door, and he looked shook. And he goes, yeah?

And I go, what did he say? And he goes, ho ho, ho, Merry Christmas. And I go, yeah, I think he brought us, I think he brought you presents. And then he goes, yeah! He was so excited, dude. He's German. He's a little German baby. Yeah, that too.

I like my chocolate da Santa. I feel like, yeah, a lot of times he seems German. But his, yeah, he's like, yes. Maybe we all start out German. It sounds so, well, the first man. January 6th. Yeah, it didn't start in Germany. The first man was German.

Hold up. Was it the first human ever, German? It seems right. They're all tall people. I don't know if I know what's happening. It's science. Yeah, so it was truly amazing to see like the first, like, real Christmas spirit happened in my child. Welcome to the party.

I thought you were going to say he was a little frightened, but he was, he was excited about it. He was shook at first because it was like, we've been gearing him up all. screamed in the hall. He screamed all month long that it was Christmas was coming. Santa. We visited like four Santas. Oh, wow. He was seeing Santa.

Well, everywhere we go down here, there's a Santa. So you're like, okay, well, just see this Santa. Hey, look at this guy laying on the beach. It's a Santa on the beach. Here's 20 bucks. Your Santa. Here's 20 bucks. You're Santa.

It's Santa. So it was really cool to see him finally, like, get the day. Santa has a needle in a beard. Admittedly was a little shook. He was like, oh shit, he's here. That big bearded man that we've seen multiple times. He's in the home. He's in our house screaming, a home invasion, except for he's bringing toys. Oh, ho, home invasion. I like that.

Yes, points. And also, man, these grandparents, they brought so many dumb toys. Yeah. It's too much. It's too much. Oh, yeah. Too much. No, that well, that. Little, they're like, it's just a little thing. And I'm like, it's a, yeah, it's a little thing that we're going to step on that I'll have to put away. Do the grandparents, do they shop in store or are they buying stuff off Amazon?

Oh, it's Amazon. Then it comes here. They send it here. Then we, then we, Chloe, has to wrap it. Wrap it. And, you know, it's a nightmare for her. Dude, we did some wrapping. I would wrap like one gift for every five gifts Emma could wrap.

Oh, I'm terrible. She was like, I'll just do the rest. And I was like, how did you fucking do that? Just give it to me. I honestly don't think I would even know how to wrap a gift at this point in my life. Ever, never? You've never wrapped a gift? No, I knew in my younger years how to wrap a gift, but it's been so long since I've wrapped a gift.

Since you've given, since you've felt like you need to give someone something. No, I've given them gifts, but usually I'll just be at a store and they're like, can you wrap it? And I'm like, yes, please, please. Or do you please do a bag and tissue? That's always like... Oh, that's so clutch, dude. Hey, there's one way to tell me someone you don't give a fuck. Give them a gift with a bag and some tissue.

Dude, it's a bag and tissue. That's fine. That's fine. Everyone looks at it and goes, thank you. You think that takes the magic away if it's just a bag and tissue? I know that they care less. Oh, my God. I know that they care less.

Rude. Yeah, it is rude. Well, it depends on what you're getting something. You're always getting something that is. easily wrappable. A shoebox easily wrappable. Right. You get a lot. Sure. But I would I don't, I would not ask for shoes.

That's wrong. What do you mean? You don't ask for shoes. What if it was like a specific pair and you just send the link like, buy me these? No. You're not doing that. Why? Why? I just, that's that's for me. That's for me. Okay. That seems like such an easy gift. Hello! Yeah. That you want to give someone. Someone wants

to get you something and you're like, well, this is an easy gift. It's not too expensive. Wait, that seems like such an easy thing. But what do you mean that's for me? Only you can purchase your shoes. Yeah. Well, what gifts do you get then? What did I get?

Well, here's what I got. Yeah. I got a pair of sunglasses that I already own. Same make, model, and color. Like, on purpose kind of thing? Like, hey, let's re-up. Yeah, I think I lose sunglasses a lot, so they just got me the exact same one. There you go.

Ups. Winning. And then a pair of AirPods because I'm on my 13th pair. Okay. But I've recently found multiple pairs. So now I have four working sets of AirPods. This is the way. You can never have too many. You can never have too many.

Apparently not. I'm going to lose some. Yeah. You got to keep one in each room kind of thing. There you go. Yeah. That way I want to walk, carry these heavy-ass AirPods around. You should donate them somewhere and then just track them.

people whoever uses them track them that's actually a really good idea that's not bad at all that's the movie oh my god that's the movie you call mode oh my god can you sink uh can you replace one air pod with another or do they have to be from the same pack they have to be from the same pack believe me i've lost one before and then i'm like well i'll just uh i've lost one from multiple AirPods and but then i had the right and the left from different sides and I'm like I'm going to make them work together and they do not that's how they get you i think you have to go to the store because emma had one that like like hit the fucking fritz or whatever and she took it to the store and they had to like take it and then replace it okay so she had one like raggedy ass

earbud and one like brand spanking new god damn now you're now your cheese's all fucked up don't buy me shoes bitch freaking see you don't buy don't buy this guy's shoes yeah don't try buy me shoes with that raggedy ass earbud What do you get then? What is your go-to? What is your gift? I got gift cards. I don't see. Like, I got some R-E-I gift cards.

You talk about the don't care. You say a gift in a bag with tissue is? Come on. That's a don't care gift. Gift card. That's like I don't give fuck if you live or die. By the way, I do not want a gift card. The fact that you've got to carry these gift cards around.

You got to... Yeah, for sure. Then I have to go to a place. I don't want any of that. Internet. Well, I do. It depends. It depends.

What? Oh, yeah, you can use a gift card on it. Panda Express gift card. Always good for me. Always welcome. I keep that on me, dog. I keep that on me. That panda meat.

Give it to daddy. Santa snapped at this house this year. I'm coming you live from Santa's workshop, actually. Santa. I got my oldest kid a 3D printer. Oh, shit. How many guns has he made? Exactly.

How many assault rifles has he put together? He likes to make all these board games, and I'm like, oh, this will be sick. He could make his own, like, designs on pieces and stuff, whatever. So, Santa sent us the kit to build the 3D printer instead of spending $300 more on what's already a crazy kind of expensive gift to give a kid. So I got the kit So then you had to put together

Oh no Had to? I wish this was in the past tense Dude I Google how long it takes When it arrives Because I'm like maybe I'm built it that night Everyone online's like it takes 12 to 15 hours And then someone in the comment section

Chimes in it goes It took me 22 And I did not think I was working that slow Fuck it! So I'm building it with him And I tell But I cannot tell you guys, I'm learning, like, electronics. Yeah.

I'm working with circuit boards. Dude. I'm building, like, belts that, like, move motors around. Why is that even an option? I'm 12 hours in right now. Well, it's for people that like that kind of stuff, I think. Who likes that kind of stuff? That's insane.

I think people that are going to be engineers later in life. Legos. I like building, like, IKEA furniture. Like, I kind of like that stuff. So I figured, like, this will be a, fun thing that we could do together, right? Yeah. Yeah, no, I like that.

I'm into that. But he's already pieced out. He pieced out at like hour seven. Wait, you like, Blake. What? You like building IKEA furniture. Yes, I like to get a six pack of beer, put on a little country music, and put some damn wood together.

Yes. Oh. I told you I want to be a woodworker. And no one believe me. There's not even a small part of me that enjoys that even a little bit. Oh, I think it's fun. There's no part of me that likes getting on the ground. and trying to losing a piece.

I don't mind getting on the ground. It's getting up from the ground. I don't like. Get some knee pads, dude. Get yourself some knee pads. Get down there. But dude, so they think they're real cute. Like, half of the pieces are printed,

3D printed from like their printer. So they're like, you're using this stuff like you can make it. It breaks. You can print a new one or whatever. But like the screw holes, some of them are just not like fitted. So you got to like, dude. Going. Crazy.

No, that sounds like a night long. I'm like, how long is this going to take? You might have to buy the one that is assembled. And I could have bought just the, or Santa could have brought the one that's just assembled. You might need to call Santa. I fucked up. Yeah. Santa might have, uh, yeah, Santa, you should have talked to Santa.

I know. Yeah, I replaced, my dad and I replaced a speaker in my boat, a subwarfer in my boat. And, uh, it's so easy. Everyone was like, oh, yeah, no, that's a piece of cake. You guys could just do it because I'm at the store going like, can I pay you to come to my house and do it? And they're like, no, no, no, we don't have anybody. But it's super easy. It's super easy.

You could do it. It took us like four hours. It took us four hours to do it. Somebody help me! And by the way, it was so easy. It's just I don't have the right tools. You got to have the right screws. Sure.

Everything went wrong. I think the greatest thing I ever repaired in my entire life is... Your relationship with your parents? Yes, it took a lot, dude. Took a lot of therapy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, go ahead. Was there divorce your fault?

Is that what you're... Well, that's what I thought for a really long time. That's what I thought for a really long time. But we worked that out. And then you found out you knew it. Yeah, found out you were right. I think I had an inkling and then I was right. Well, the second, the second greatest thing I ever repaired was,

do you guys remember I had a Tales from the Crip pinball machine? Yeah? Uh, yeah, I do. I repaired that. It was fucking crazy. I can't even believe I did it. I had to go on YouTube and watch this, like, Russian dude, and he taught me how to do it. It was sick.

It's the best. I'm glad you're here and that you're enjoying it. Because I feel like I've been talking about it forever. Well, by the way, I'm never on it. The only time I'm ever on YouTube is when I go, usually it's when I'm at the gym. And I'm like, how do I do this exercise properly? Like, I feel like I'm not doing this right. Right.

Your boots are huge. I feel like I need like a 20-year-old lesbian who's jacked to show me. Yeah, I need a jacked female crossfitter to show me. Huh. By the way, I weirded out this very jacked girl that was in the gym because she was, I was staring. and then she catches me staring and then I go I'm so sorry I just think your body looks great no no no no no no no and then I said

my goal is to look exactly like you and she did not take that that well I'm cutting my dick off I mean she was like fine it wasn't like a confrontation it was like oh okay yeah thanks I'll give you my doctor's number but dude she was ripped. She was

ripped. You're that guy? Why did you think that was a... Oh, because you were caught. Well, because she caught me staring. And I'm like, I didn't want her to think that I was like, lusty and after her. Sure, so you told her her body is incredible and you want to be her. I want to be her, do you? I want to wear your skin.

In a way that, not cut it off of you and put it on me. It's, I want what your skin is, but mine to be that. And was she in any way your body type? Not like your type type, but like Was she a hulking Butterball?

Was she a hulking little butterball? No. She was much leaner than I think I could ever get. Yeah, you've kind of, you're on record to saying you think that female CrossFit body is the ultimate. The ultimate.

The guys are a little too thick with it. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think I'd ever get lean enough to be. a female CrossFit to have a female CrossFit body. Here's my impression of Adam going to the gym next time where like you scan your card to get through the like the turnstile.

Just like, meh-me-b-the-fuck. Oh. Can somebody, uh, there he is, go get him. Tell him he's not allowed to hear anymore. Dude, I finally started, they finally caught me. I finally started to pay at the gym. Why were you getting about? I went about a year.

I went about a year. They're like, hey, we've noticed you've got four sets of AirPods and we checked. haven't been paying year and we think maybe you can handle it. Who are you? Yeah, I finally started to pay. They did get... What happened? You were going for free because were you there with a trainer initially and then you kind of...

No, I initially went there and I bought like three months and I knew I was going to go to Charleston to shoot. Right. So I got the three months. And then when the three months ended, I was in Charleston. So then I didn't re-up. And then when I came back, they were just like, look who's back. And they just waved me through. And so the next day, I'm like...

I'm like, hey, I'm back again. And they're like, all right, keep it up. And then I just kept coming back and never scanned in. And it was just high fives and like, happy to be here. And then I just was like, I guess I'm just like, they're letting me come. And then it went on for almost a year now. And finally, the guy who was like kind of new. Yeah.

And but he was a big fan. He was like the guy that was always like, hey, you know, I think he listens to the podcast. So he's going to hear. Oh. I've been talking about him. What's up, Troy? He was the one that was, went like, hey, I noticed that you actually don't have a card on file right now. And I'm like, what's that?

And he's like, yeah, it's been like almost a year that you haven't had a card on file. Yeah. So I'm going to need that card. And I'm like, and I was just caught. And I was like, okay. Looks like I'm finally having to do it. And this is a gym that I'm guessing, oh, two, three, four. 100 a month? What'll be talking? I have no idea. I don't even know what I'm paying. I just gave him the

car and backed away. What is the average gym membership? The average gym membership? Yeah. Like what a, what is a 24 hour? I mean, planet fitness is like $19 a month or something, right? Or $9.99. That's not bad. That's pretty cheap. That's not bad. No, that's, that's the whole thing. Their whole business plan is there's, there's like cheaper gyms and then there's. Yeah, yeah. But the plan of fitness and 24 hour fitness, their whole thing is just get them paying because it's an automatic thing on the credit card and they're never going to come back and then they make it impossible for you to cancel.

Oh, it's, right? Because I remember... If you go in person, there has to be a manager there. There's never a manager there. And then they'll get their most jacked male CrossFit manager to intimidate you to not. He'll be like, what if it's just $3? What if it's just $3? Right.

And you're like, oh, that's fucking $3. $3 a month. You're going to quit this gym with that body? Okay. Why, are you moving? Come on. Believe in yourself. Come on.

And he'll guilt you into keeping it alive. Yeah, you say you're moving and they go, we've got a location there. And you go, I don't think you do, bud. Next thing you know, it's a gag gift. But then, of course, yeah, there's their equinoxes, which I'm guessing are probably two or $300 now. Are there equinoxes in every city or is that a, is that an L.A. thing? Major Metro. I think that's a larger cities.

Yeah. No, but my gym is, it's a, it's a chain, but it's not that huge of a chain. I don't know, maybe there's 10 locations or something. Mm. What do we call that? Is that, what do we call a smaller chain? Smaller chain? It's still chain, small chain.

But isn't their word, like, do they call it, like, it used to be like a franchise, but then... It's still franchise. That's a whole different business model. I don't know. Loose, butthole. I do, I don't know. Dude, why are you asking? Todd, nothing?

I don't think there's any way to even, like, find out, like, what is a small chain called? That, like, what's a small chain? What determines that? How many locations? Oh, yeah, dude. Ten. Did you hear that crack? Couldn't even hear your, your keys jingling, but you heard that crack.

I heard that crack. That's that crap. A branch, Todd. A branch? Todd. Todd, you can go back to doing whatever the fuck you were doing. The Isaac's just. Well, now it's.

See, this is why people don't... A branch is just a, like, a heart of a... It's a arm of a larger piece. Right? The branch. Dude, so I hurt my shoulder, like... Just now. No, like six weeks ago.

Five, six weeks ago. At the gym. Weeks. I think I tore something. I think I tore something. Oh, no. You're a fucking disaster, my guy. I'm going to Curlin Job, orthopedic center.

Okay. And if you don't... don't know. That's a good one. And I'm going there next week to find out if I tour something, because I'm doing a celebrity golf tournament in two weeks. But, but you. I don't think I will be able to. So Adam, I'm telling, I'm warning you now. Did you not see, Nazi? Did you not see, um, was it Nelly? Who was it? It was a jaw rule. It was some fucking rapper from yesteryear who just sliced one. Because there's spectators, just like pro golfing, they line up spectators like along the way. And if you shank it, it hits them. You kill somebody. Yeah. And somebody just, like, hit somebody the other day.

Really? Yeah. I guess I'm going to say that. I'm going to say, hey, just so you know, it's very possible that I could murder someone right now. Jaw rule. Jaw rule hit a golf ball into a crowd. Oh, my God. If you say that, then you're financially in the clear, legally in the clear.

Dude, you got to go on this, hit the link that Todd just put in the chat. Well, I definitely want to watch that. But Adam, so, okay, you're, you're, you're, you have a hurt shoulder plus what, like, have you, have you golfed at all in recent days? No. No, I've golfed maybe, uh, well, there's no video here. Oh, here's the video. Oh, my God, right in the shins. I golfed, uh, oh, Jesus.

That's bad. Yeah, that was really bad. But people are laughing. People are really having. a good time with it um you have to you have to no i think i've win about three years ago was the last time and then before that you're ready i think i've went maybe eight times in my whole life you're so you're going you're going to be like terrible uh yes i'm going to be terrible i'm the face or i guess one of the faces of children's miracle network hospitals now so children's miracle network hospitals

180 hospitals from across the country you're the face or the people people who are the children of the face. He's the face. I love it. Well, I'm like the forward-facing figure that is going to go on. And the children are forced to show them back. No, and then I'm just going to go and talk about how I was spent time in a children's hospital and I'll go on talk shows to raise awareness.

That's awesome. Yada, yada. But, uh, that's great. Yeah, it's cool. But part of it is like they want me to go do this children's, uh, hospital sponsored celebrity golf tournament. Right. And now I'm going to have to go do this.

It's called the ace shootout. If you hit one of these kids, if you hit one of these kids. I really don't want to hit one of these kids. If a kid, like, lost one eye and then you hit the other eye. And I would be a bummer. I would not like that. Wow, dude. Wait, are the kids, the kids are going to be the ones lined up around you as you hit it off the tee? I hope not, dude. I've never been. I don't know.

You're going to, like, hit the break on a wheelchair and a kid's going to go back into an alligator and fit. Pond. Did you warn them? So I think maybe I'm going to be paired up with like Drew Bledsoe. Sure. Well, that's cool. Yeah, and you know he's going to be good. And Drew Bledsoe is the guy who was on the Patriots before Tom Brady.

Is that right? I think so. That's a really good pull. Yeah, I think that's right. He was like the man, he was pretty good. He got injured. That's my bad. I thought you said Drew Brees.

No, no, no. That's a different person. No, no, no. Yeah, I liked. I like hearing him talk because now he's just like a cool farmer, right? Yeah. And he constantly is the guy who everyone's like,

fucking Brady replaced you. He's like, I know. But he seems like he's pretty cool about it now. I'm sure it fucking really bothered him. And now he's like, fucking what are you going to do? If you get replaced by a scrub and that scrub just burns out

and then he sort of replaced you and your career fizzled out, I think that sucks more than getting replaced by the greatest of all time. Yeah, exactly. And then you go, yeah, the greatest of all time took my place. Filled my shoes.

And he's the only one that could. Yeah, he filled my shoes just fine. He's the only one that could. And he's like, oh, I only made a bunch of millions of dollars and I'm kicking it on a farm now. Like, it could be worse. Yeah, and he's doing Ace shootouts. And he seems like the man.

Do you think that Tom Brady kicks him down a little cash or like hooks him or at least sends him like a Christmas card? Or maybe some Christmas card maybe, I don't know. It's kind of fucking cool that he got her. and Brady replaced him because there's a chance that Brady never ever plays. So you're saying he owes him everything. Well, cool to Tom Brady. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what you're saying. Yeah. No, so I'm saying Brady, do you think he like kicks back a little bit? Like, hey, dude, that's fucking cool. If I know Brady, there's no way. No way. And I don't. And I don't.

And I don't. And I don't. Dude, how about all these backup quarterbacks playing right now? Yeah, I like that. I love hearing these names. Well, like, the dude who stepped in for Green Bay the other day, Willis, was just on fire. What was you talking about? I was waiting for it.

Okay, let's go. It was like two backup quarterbacks versus each other the other night, and they were both snapping. I think I'm having an allergic reaction. Why is my face so red? Are you guys noticing this? Are you drinking? No. Yeah, but it might be, you got a niacin situation happening?

No niacin. Yeah. Do you have red, a lot of B-12? your camera sucks no no no this is how my face was i noticed it this uh last night i was like why am i so red looking i haven't been out in the sun are you nervous well what did you face wash you nervous to see us again yeah are you just excited i don't think so i think i might be dying oh that's where i might be dying well what did you what what have you used on your face recently just regular the regular shit i'm always using if you anything you can tell us that's changed at all no yeah yeah you look

like you've got a VR goggle redness around the size. Is there by chance you've taken your load boost to the next level? That's a full bottle of load boost. Oh, nice.

No, I don't know. I don't know what's happening. I think maybe it's just too much holiday spirit. That could be. Didn't I tell you guys, I did like a month of the load boost? Yeah.

Didn't see any difference, but it just felt like really good to take a piss. You mentioned that. I don't see. And maybe that's worth. it then because taking a piss already rocks yeah but to elevate that experience that's pretty oh yeah do you ever hold your piss in to the point of like hurting so that when it

comes out it feels way way way way yeah adam i don't know what is wrong with your face that is crazy oh my god i'm just asking no no i don't okay i don't okay I'm doing something very fun for New Year's Eve. I am going to Viva, Las Vegas again. Oh, dear. I'm going back for one day. Wow, dude. For one day.

Why? Because Nebraska is playing in the bowl game earlier that day. Oh, yeah, buddy. And then all the girls, I'm going with my Nebraska crew, all of our wives, are coming with us later. We're going to the game. They were going to do spa days. We're meeting up afterwards, going to do dinner at Carbone Riviera,

right there at the Bellagio. And then we're going to go freaking kick it with Bruno Mars, I think. Yeah. Is Bruno in town? Bruno's in town. He's performing. That's awesome. Okay.

That's going to be very fun. Vegas. Dude, remember when we saw Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl? Yes. It was Bruno Mars and the chili peppers? It was the Bruno Mars and the chili peppers. And I am a chili pepper. head, you know. Yeah, you are. I'm surprised

I don't have a dumb Chili Peppers tattoo on my body. It's not too late. It's not too late. It is. It's way too late, actually. It's way too late to get a chili peppers tattoo. You just catch out on the blood sugar sex magic around one of your

nipples, maybe. Yeah, or I just get the Indian head that Anthony Kitas has on his chest. He has just like a yes, absolutely. Dude, it's too late. You are. Get Anthony Kedis's body from the Under the Bridge video when he's running. Get his chest and abs tattoo onto your chest and abs. I like that idea.

Or hear me out. Maybe I get absolutely sculpted just Anthony Kedis's body and then get his same tattoos. Yeah. And then that girl who's working out at the gym looks at me and goes, I like your body. I wish I had your body. Oh, yeah, I'm a bitch. Maybe a little reversal. I don't know.

But when we saw Bruno Mars at that Super Bowl, I was shook. I didn't know anything about Bruno Mars. I was like, who's this guy that they're partnering with the chili peppers? The chili peppers are good enough to just do their own thing. You were a bit offended by that. I was a little offended. I remember you. And then Bruno Mars fucking blew the lid off that place.

I didn't expect him to be as great as he was, as talented as he was. He could do it all, man. He can do it the fuck all. I remember you guys, and I could not join you where you were, but... Which is crazy. You weren't shocked by the electricity coming out of that. I don't respond to the talent to Taurus. I, Adam, I recall that too, because that Super Bowl was a blowout,

and the thing I walked away with as well was that Bruno Mars was a real, a real standout. Oh, yeah. He just moves like James Brown. He's got a hell of a voice. He's just born to entertain. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree that he can entertain. He has unlimited energy.

Unlimited. Yeah. I bet. Possibly that's cocaine, but. Fuck it. Allegedly. I think he's on record. But, yeah, I'm excited to see him.

Allegedly. He's like a fun time. Absolutely. In that little club that we saw Luis Franzi or whoever. Yeah, that's right. I think that's his name. Yeah. And that little club, you know Bruno Mars is going to bring that fucking house down.

I guess I just don't even like one of his songs. What? I want to say that you have to. Come on, dude. What? So like Uptown Funk is the one, right? That's a classic banger. I mean, it was good live.

No, he's got, he's got good one. Well, play, play a little. Well, his one that's really trending lately is his, is his duet with Lady Gaga. Oh, now I'm in. No, na, no, na, na, na, na, na, na. Feeling good. There's a burner. Yeah, that one is fucking.

Hey, feel free to play a little bit, Blake. We don't necessarily want to hear you try to sing. I've never heard of the song. Oh, Bill. If the world was the thing, I'd want to be next to you. Come on, that's powerful. That's good, that's powerful. Is it weird that I've never heard that song in my life?

You've never heard that song? No. Goose bumps, dude. I just got goosebumps all over my entire body. See, Adam's goose bumping. Adam's ready to bring bumper back. I think after Neo's Year of the Gentleman, I think I just checked out. I was like, it's not going to be Year of the Gentleman.

Okay, hold on. That's so weird. That's so weird to me, dude, because you like this type of music. I feel Blake and I like this type of music. less than you like this type of music. And yet, Bruno Mars, we're going to find one.

We're going to find one. I think therein lies what I'm talking about, is that there's something undetectable that I'm just like, I don't get down with this. And yet it permeates the greater population more than most R&B, I would say. And why is that?

Yes, and you like, like, you love Neo. Yeah, that's great. Maybe the biggest Neo fan. I will mention Neo kind of a lot. Constantly. throughout the it's a constant in our lives like you've you've never talking neo and they're not i wish they were and they're never talking neo and they never were talking neo you've stood by your love for neo it has never wane but to me i'm like bruno mars laps neo in every way possible you're the gentleman there's so many hits

on that album and i think that you're right i think that he has become bigger but i'm just saying he's definitely worse. And I want to know what it is. Okay, what about this song? This is my favorite Bruno Mar's song. Are you ready? And then let's play a Neo song. Is this the one with, what's his name?

Well, it's Anderson Park as well. Yeah, that's with Anderson Park. So, Adam, if he plays that at the club, you're going to be having sex with your wife. on the floor. That's interesting Pack. It just seems like it just seems like

it's cosplay. It just seems like hey let's do one of those 70s songs. That's all. It doesn't feel natural. I hear what you say. He takes styles.

He morphs into certain styles. I hear that. I hear that. He's borrowing. I'd rather just throw on like fucking Donnie Hathaway or some shit. And you go, Oh, this is the real shit.

Let's play it. All right. A neo song. Play a classic Neo song. so I can't even remember who the fuck Neo is. Hey, just go to Year of the Gentleman and go from track to track and you'll go, oh, that's amazing. That's amazing.

He keeps a year of the gentleman, and it is a great name of an album. It is a great name of an album. Okay, I'll play the first track off of Neo's Year of the Gentleman. Do I need to start it later in the song? No, because I think you'll just know it. It kicks off right away. Okay, here we go. Go ahead 20 seconds. You guys all know this song.

This is a huge hit. Look, I love the... I think I do. Of course, you could not miss this song when it came out. Okay, yes. Dude, I'm sorry, Bruno Mars. You don't have a song this good. Next track.

That is a great song. That is a good song. We're going to go through the whole album. Go to the next track. We're not... You can skip this one. Okay, just a little Justin Timberlakey. It's probably one of the same producers.

This might be... Timbalin or Farrell, yes. Okay. You don't want that one? This was on the radio. You could fast forward into it, though. Yeah, don't know this one even a little bit. And why do I...

It sounds like... I don't know that one. No, no, no. Hey, that's worse. That's worse. That's worse. Then Bruno Mars. Yeah, I think...

Go to the next track. Okay, this one has a star by it, so it means it is a radio hit. Here we go. Okay. Who puts the star by it? Let's skip ahead a little. Ders, it's very... It tells the story, guys. Okay.

Now, it's very... It's like Michael Jackson adjacent. It's very validate. It's Michael Jackson adjacent. What are you saying? It stands beside Mike. I'm saying... What's a better compliment?

No, no, no, I'm saying what could be a better compliment than Michael Jackson and Jason? I know, but you were just dogging on our boy, Bruno, for sounding like something else. And I'm saying... I didn't say sounding like it. I said, imitating is different. Because even in the video, they, like, dressed up 70s style.

And I was like, oh, I get it. You're not just doing you. You're imitating something and dressing up like it. It'd be like if we dressed up as the wizards. Like, we just wouldn't do that. That would be ridiculous. No, we wouldn't do that. Everyone would go, well, that's weird.

That's, that doesn't feel correct. Sure. That's true. When you break it down like that, that does make sense. Miss Independent is on this album. Okay. Well, hey, it doesn't stop. Guess what?

I mean, maybe Neo's going to pop out and do a surprise guest set with Bruno. I don't know. I'm just excited. Wouldn't that be something? You guys went to that club. It's called the Pinky Ring and the Bellagio. It's a great club. You know that there's only like 300 people in this club.

Anything can happen. Like, it's a fun. vibe. It's very fun. And by the way, I hope that I'm allowed in with my motley crew of dudes I'm bringing. And by the way, I think Neo does live in Vegas. What's that? So anything's possible. I think Neo does live in Vegas. I think he grew up there. Do you think or you know? We did Mindy project together and I was like, um, huge fan. Wait, you know Neo? I met Neo on set, yeah. Okay, so then you know Neo. You didn't take a picture with him? He calls me Dergio. Would Neo remember you if you ran into Neo?

Based on our interaction, for sure not. Okay. So he wasn't very hard. I've met Ludacris now maybe four times. And each time, it's like he's meeting me for the first time. And he couldn't. What's up, guy from Goonies? How are you?

Couldn't care less. Yeah, what's up that guy from Goonis? And this isn't a diss to Neo, but I mean, Ludacris has a lot on his plate. I feel like he's doing a lot. He's everywhere. Well, I think you guys don't know this. Neo's got allowed this way to. I think he has like three or five lives or something crazy.

Well, when you make music like that, there's some, there's some situation where he's got like a stable or something. Pizza pizza. Ludacris, I just saw the other day. He's doing, Todd, try to find this. He's doing some commercial that I was like, oh, I didn't realize he's at that phase of his career. Is ludicrous's name, Todd? What's ludicrous's name? It's Chris.

It's Chris. Isn't it? Yeah, it's Chris. Yeah. Chris Bridges. Yeah. Does he know Todd Bridges? He's doing some kind of commercial that I was like, oh, it's like a diabetes commercial or like a.

Yeah. Like a. Can you imagine the money there is for that? Fuck. It's not State Farm. It's like for a vitamin or something. He pops up on it. Yeah.

But it wasn't like a known brand. Do you know how like every once in a while you'll see like when a star starts to fall. a little bit, and then they go from doing like a big State Farm campaign, which I think he also has done, to then all of a sudden he's doing some like, he's like selling coins or something. He's like,

silver, it's actually worth a lot. It's those weird national commercial like AARP commercials kind of thing. It's something like that that I was like, wow, I didn't, and he might not even be at that place in his career. He might just be going, how much you paid me? Yeah, fuck it.

That's fine. Dude, the pharmaceutical Ludical companies, I'm sure they fucking stack it. I was kind of stoked because I did see him on Instagram freestyling. And I was like, oh, it's been a while since I'd seen ludicrous. Luda, huh? Yeah. Rap. And I was like, hey, he still got it, dude.

Yeah. Him and Will Smith still have it. Will Smith, oh, his album was so good. That was probably my 2025 album of the year. Dude, the way kids went after him rapping on Instagram, wherever the fuck it was. It was like, I mean, he was definitely feeling. himself a lot, but they just like ate them a lot. What was the song?

It was like, I love women. I love women. Like, it was like a strange song that sounds like a banger. Well, but Will Smith's singing it, it seems like maybe he's having trouble with the divorce. Did they divorce? Okay, so

apparently the ludicrous, the commercial is extended warranty. Right. Yeah. Like I said, I'm like, what? That warranty cash. That warranty cash, man. Very shaggedelic. Yeah, all right. Endurance, baby. Coming up in the world. Somebody over there was just like, we have to get ludicrous. And money is not

an object, but we got to get ludicrous. What if ludicrous, like, reached out to them? I mean, maybe. Could be. No, remember how, like, who's Captain Kirk, the old dude? Huh? What's his name? Captain Kirk, you know, Star Trek guy. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What the hell is his name? He went to space. with Bezos. Exactly. And then Bezos, like, didn't want to hear him.

Come on. How do we not know this? Remember, did you see that video when they... Shatner. Shatner. William Shatner, yeah. So Shatner, obviously, world famous, been working forever, like, crushes everything he does somehow.

When... Not price line. Was it price line? Yeah. Priceline. Price line was like, hey, we would love you to do commercials. And he was like, absolutely not. And they're like, we can't pay you what you want as far as, like, up front.

but we'll give you part of the back end, like a piece. Oh, shit. And he made a zillion dollars, like hundreds of millions, price line. Yeah, that's brilliant. What was it for again? Priceline, which everybody, it's kind of like the default thing when you plug in fucking... He made hundreds of millions because he got in early on price line. That's really.

Do we even hear from Priceline anymore? No. Yeah! Like, did it become booking.com? Like, what happened? He stopped negotiating. Yeah. Well, he's super, super old now, right?

Yeah, William Shatner then went to space with Bezos on that, like... And he's like 90, right? Yeah, and he then came back down. I mean, this is old. It happened a while ago now, maybe a year ago, but he came back down and was like having a moment, and he was trying to talk to Bezos about that. And then Bezos, like, wasn't listening to him at all. And then Bezos's wife was, like, popping champagne.

Have you seen this video, Blake? No, but... It's heartbreaking, honestly. Because what they just... Because Shatner's like literally crying. He's like, it's when you see the world. Right. And it's so far away.

And you did a little... And he's 90 and he's lived alive. And he's 90 and he's crying. And Bezos is like, we're going back tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. It's, yeah, it's crazy. And he keeps looking over his shoulder where his wife and Katie Perry are like popping bottles of champagne. And he's like, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Shut the fuck on. And then he grabs the bottle of champagne. and starts spraying it, and then you just see chatting her, like, alone with, like, tears coming down his face, having a moment. It's heartbreaking, dude. Bezos's wife, she's a demon on earth, right? It's safe. Yeah, she seems like it.

But he might also be a demon. Great ass. There's not even a might there. Like, for sure, Bezos, look, I'm not even, like, Mr. Anti-Billionaire, like, but, like. I don't know. You stand by your billionaire. Yeah, love the best billionaire. You're just like, what's going on in Jeff Bezos's mind?

Like, what is the motivator? Like, oh, dude, going to space. I just don't, I'm like, what's the plan? How are you? I get gifts 10 minutes before Christmas Eve. It's beautiful. I love it. I need it.

Bad dads need Amazon, right? Sure, sure. Absolutely, we do. We do, we do, we do, we do. That's our, that's our commercial. But the space travel thing, like, is that going to be for everybody? Is that what he wants? And then what do you?

Yeah. I think I love the space travel. Some people hate it. I'm like, yeah, dude. Why did we give up, like, trying to travel in space? I think it's sick. I don't think we gave up. Yeah.

We did. We kind of did. I think we realized that it's kind of not super valuable. Like, I don't think we found anything on the moon that made us go, we got to get back up there. and we need to mine for whatever and whatever. Sure, it was pretty boring. Yeah, but imagine, imagine what they're saying, like what Elon's crazy ass is saying about, like, being able to fly around the world in 20 minutes. Mm-hmm.

That's kind of tight. Like, just going like, but this is the thing. I think we're forgetting that if you can fly around the world in 20 minutes, things just stop mattering. Jam's saying, like, you have four AirPods. that's crazy. It's science. They essentially don't matter. You know what I'm saying?

Whereas somebody's like, dude, I got AirPods for Christmas. Holy fucking shit, I'm never going to leave. Like, there's just, you get to a level where things are so easy that they just don't matter anymore that like, so it doesn't, to travel. I mean, it makes it easier to travel, but also at a certain point, it's like, like music. Yeah, but it's sort of the thing of, uh, you just click on any music. You don't really care anymore unless you're Blake and you buy a CD. Thank you. If you love horses and then all of a sudden you see a car and you're like, well, fuck that.

Yeah, then it won't matter. Like you're able to get somewhere faster via the car, but the horse is better and the horse is alive and the horse is yada yada. I love the horse. You know, it's... Well, the technology should unlock things. If we can fly around the world in 20 minutes, then we're going to be able to get further in space. So maybe we could get somewhere that will make life more interesting. I just want to go back to trains and yo-yo's.

This guy had to put together one 3D printer. For the guy who, like, loves gadgets and loves all this stuff, suddenly he's like not wanting to travel. I personally, I mean, who knows what it would do to like our environment? Maybe it would be the worst thing in the world. I don't care about the environment. What the hell? I'm just kidding. I guess no.

part of me is just like what's the plan? Because like I think I've even brought this up on here before, but one of these dudes is creating AI. What are we doing? The woman interviewing is like, so what do you think someone in like 10 years? Like what's it going to be in 10 years? And he's like, I can't even imagine what it's going to be in 10 years. And look, people are going to be, it's going to change the world so much that people are going to think our lives are stupid and that we're here. And they're probably going to be piloting a rocket ship to Mars and think we're pathetic. And it's like in 10 years. years, no, we're not going to be doing that. But, like, I just want to hear, like, the game plan. And maybe they can't give it up, but maybe they also don't know what the fuck they're doing. So, like, they don't know. Well, also, AI is so confusing. I feel like even the smartest AI people that are working, that are, that are making, like, they're signing these, like, 20-year-old kids that are building the AI for, like, they're giving them, like, $100 million or $50 million deals, uh, as if they're LeBron James of AI, which, they very well could be.

They don't even know because the AI is going to teach itself and then in 10 years from now, we're all working for AI. The craziest part, and I think we've covered this. We'll cover it again. I think Zuckerberg Zuckerberg said that no one will have to work and working will be a luxury

that people will want to do. It's just a thing to do. You won't have to. And AI is going to make you so much money. And I'm like, you can't. It's going to make the billionaires to trillionaires. and the poor people are still are going to be extra poor.

That's what's going to happen. But it won't matter. I guess there were more more billionaires made last year than ever before. And I know inflation, but I guess more billionaires became billionaires last year than ever before. But what does that mean?

How many people is that? 10? How many people became? I think it was 74. 74 people on this whole big ass motherfucking planet. That's not a lot of people, dude. But that's a lot of money.

But Blake, that's the point is that like there's just probably a few thousand billionaires and there's a many billions of people. That's what's crazy. Yeah. Wait, was I just going to fucking Oh, I might be misquoting this dude

but the Peter Thiel guy. Neo? Neo? Teal, is that his name right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Who is that? Is this what he's saying about AI where it's like he's saying that if people want to AI is going to become all powerful, all knowing, essentially become God.

No way. And so whoever wants to stop AI God, which is what he has a company of, they're the Antichrist because they're like trying to prevent God from like coming to Earth. And I'm like, hey man. Whoa. That's what he's saying.

Can we get this guy off off the steering wheel here? So there's so there's over 3,000 billionaires in the world. That's a lot. Holding a combined 16.1. trillion dollars in my god let me get let me get one billion guys yeah oh my god what can you

do baby is it wild to you that like if you asked elon like can i just get one billion you've got 500 okay one he could go yeah and and not even notice it that's going to start happening right and and by the way if you if so if he if he gave you a billion he wouldn't even notice and then you as a bill as a one billionaire could give somebody a million and not even notice it million change their shit up oh yeah i know it's crazy bro number eight math is crazy break us off bro break us off bro break us off i feel like that i feel like shit like that's going to start happening When, like, streamers become billionaires? Yeah, Mr. Beast. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Beast mode. Yeah, Mr. Beast is, right? Yeah, when just, like, I show speed or whatever, when he's just like, okay, I'm a billionaire now, I'm going to give you 10 million.

If this video gets to 10 million likes, I'm giving you 10 million or whatever. That's when the world will end. That's when the world will just crack open and eat itself. Truly, that's kind of sick. I'm ready. Truly. You guys, I had, maybe you'll, I can't tell the jokes are just going to start popping off or not on this. But yesterday, I'm pulling out of my alley and there's a woman who's like waving like kind of kosh, like weirdly.

And I'm like, what's going on? She goes, weird ways. Do you have a, like a red or like an orange cat? And I was like, no. And she was like, someone's cat just got hit. And on the side of the road, dead cat. And I know this cat. I've seen this cat through my backyard, and I'm like, I text some other neighbors.

I'm like, do you guys have this cat? Whose cat is this? I always see it. I knew it. I knew it. Did you kill this cat? Shut up, bitch. Hang on.

I find out whose cat it is. You were backing up. It's this older woman. She's probably in her late 70s. I ring the doorbell. That's rough. And I go, do you have like the copper colored cat? And she's like, yeah.

And I go, so I just got flag down. by a woman who saw it get hit by a car, it's, it's dead. She was waving weirdly. It was a weird way. It's toast. Her face goes from like, nice old lady smile, like, oh, some visitor, right? Yeah. To gnarled.

My cat just died. And then I have to, like, walk her down the block to the end of the alley. And then she scoops it up. Oh. Old lady style. With her hands? Ben's over. Picks it up.

Oh. With her hands. And then just, like, puts it in with her face. And so, I'm sorry, let me just say this. Let me just preface this. The cat is... What do you mean in her hands, Blake? What do you think she's going to shove?

Yeah, no, she picked it up with some devil sticks, Blake, and then she started fucking... Jesus. You pick up a bloody, nasty, dead cat with your hands? It's your cat, dude. But its intestines are coming out of its asshole. It's not. No, no, no, no. I should preface the cat just was dead and probably broken back or whatever. It was just there.

Nothing crazy. She picks it up And you know it's still warm And dude, I'm like Devastating It sounds like the saddest thing both times And then she's like Yeah

I'm gonna walk back down the alley I'll handle this And I'm like You fucked up Just wrecked my day I'm sorry that wrecked your day No no no But you don't say

No but just that kind of like As we go through life You have a day You do this you do that You eat all your kids Well you got to eat too many chips whatever it is. You're just fucking,

you're doing the thing, right? Very few times in life do you have, like, an interaction with a neighbor you kind of know. Oh, fuck, I ate too many chips. Right, right.

I'm just saying, like, the ups and downs of life are... Daddy ate too many chips. I shouldn't have eaten all those chips. That's like the worst part of a day sometimes where you're like, yeah, can't believe I finish those chips.

That's life. And then you have something to do like that where you're like, god damn it. Oh, that's too bad for her, man Such a bummer That's a real... That was her best friend

Like, in this earth And someone fucking ran over it Does she have a husband around Or is there another person in her life Or is she solo-dalo? Worst part of it He died last year Oh no

What did she She didn't let off some like Fuck! Like did you see rage Or it was just total sadness No Blake It was just absolute devastation. And then

she's texting me like videos of the cat when it was alive. You gave her your number? She has it. Or she had Emmas and she's sending videos of the cat like massaging her dog like fun cat videos. Is she saying I know you did it? I know you did it. I know you did it.

I know you did it, motherfucker. Yeah. I will find a way. Part of me walking away was like, does she think I made up that I saw somebody and that somebody flagged me down? So I was giving like Extra details. What if she picked it up and she looked at you and she said. Right.

She goes, let me see your tires. I know you did it. I listened to the pod. I know you hate dogs. I know you. Let me smell your breath. But I did give like way more details than. You ate too many chips and killed my cat, didn't you?

No, no, no, no. You did. You got to believe me. I don't know the code. You're going to have to kill me. But just like a fucking... So anyway, I went and got her a cat this morning. No, you didn't.

Yeah, I just gave her a cat. What? The fuck are you, too! We sent flowers. I was joking that like, we should just get her another cat. And there was a cat inside. Get the exact same cat and get two of them.

I got you two more. And put them in her backyard. Yeah. Oh, that's a good idea. You just get a bunch of cats that look similar and release them in the neighborhood. And then she's constantly. seen her cat out and about

and TikTok it like, yo, dude, so this is what happened. Now I'm going to release 100 orange cats in her backyard. She gets like... Like and subscribe. She goes to like an insane asylum because she just loses her shit.

Backfire. Smash the like button. Every cat has a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars tied to its collar. Oh my good. Each cat has a thousand dollars inside its stomach. inside it said, can you rip it open and get the money?

Any takebacks, any apologies, any epic slams? We didn't cover this, but Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner. RIP. God, we're late on this, and we know it, but guess what? Guess what? And we're late. Still.

I'm sure it's going to be unfolding. Still sad. Still sad. Unbelievable. Unreal. Did you guys ever meet him? I met him a handful of dollars. Oh, I did not.

At the improv. I don't know who, if it was his daughter, a granddaughter, or someone, but Rob Ryder and Carl Reiner would come to the improv to watch a member of their family, I forget who it was, do, they did, like, stand-up comedy classes, and they would have, like, their little graduations where they'd get up and do five minutes. Right. And they came multiple times to watch their granddaughter, or great-granddaughter, whoever was, perform. And it was very cute, how supportive the whole family was for this little thing. And they were super nice. You call the daughter a little thing? The event.

Yeah, I was like, what's that little thing? And Carl, oh, sorry, Rob specifically, Carl was very, very old at this point. But Rob specifically was just a absolute sweetheart of a guy. Yeah. Like, would come in, was super polite, super nice to all the staff. Everybody was excited that he was there. Yeah, so, I mean, it's not like I was... It kind of seemed like there was literally zero people who had a bad thing to say about him other than the president.

No. So that was like, it just seems like he was a total just hero. Yeah, let's touch on this for one moment. Trump's post on his thing. Dude, he's, he's deranged. I'm going to come. Is a window into a mind that you just don't want in charge of anyone's well-being. yeah what the fuck are we doing here and he's our president bizarre world it was so scary dude i'm like

jesus could you even imagine saying that about anyone about anyone anyone who just died like even even is your neighbor who would always like light trash and throw it in your backyard so like a crazy person who's your neighbor who you're like i just wish this guy would fucking move or die already this guy sucks and then he's does die because his psychotic son murders him, you still wouldn't say that. And you wouldn't post that. Yeah. You wouldn't post that.

It's bizarre. You'd be like, Jesus. You might go, I'm glad he's not throwing the trash in my yard anymore. That's on fire. Sure. But you wouldn't post. Trump, any takebacks or apologies to Trump? God damn.

That's not incapable. He would never take back anything ever because he's a true loon. And since it is January 6th, I would like to have no more takebacks. That's what I'm proposing for the pod. We don't take anything back anymore. J-6. Oh, okay. You want to speak more on that or?

I'll just leave it there, kind of my thing. The whole Rob Reiner thing, though, we have to keep training into our 70s. You're not wrong. In case we have to fight our children someday. You're not wrong. Oh, geez, yeah. Physical health. Like, I know we talk about mental health and all that.

I'm talking about physical health. Yeah, you got to stay strong. You need to train. Hey, stay ready. Stay ready, dude. And apparently he was like a big dude, the kid. Or he wasn't small. I don't know.

Honestly, I have not looked into any aspect of that. It sounded so bad. I just don't, I don't even want to know. They said he was like 6.3.2.30. That's like almost a Kyle. And then, of course, I'm like, I'm sure that kid smiled at one point in a photo and didn't look like a absolute serial killer psychopath. the photos are haunting i'm sure he smiled in photos before but they didn't release a single

photo of him looking even remotely normal no but did you watch any interviews with him i had i haven't watched anything my feed my feed got fucking just full they're like ooh someone was brutally murdered durs will love this yeah exactly feed our boy but listen like obviously murderer but troubled poor guy fucking sounded like yeah not yeah doing well but you watch him in these interviews and you're just like, oh man, you're pretty disconnected from like what people are doing. From what it looked like and it looked like, you know, it appeared from what I've looked into like his parents like never gave up on him.

Like they really, really tried. Like they produced a movie together that was like a story about it. About a father's son and drug addict. Yeah. And they just knew it wasn't right, but they never gave up. Although I did see one moment where I'm pretty sure. We're like, so was your dad being in the business and gone a lot? Did that affect you as a kid?

And I'm pretty sure. Does that turn you crazy? He goes, well, yeah, but so yeah, right? So then he just goes, oh, no. Like, I think he was being sarcastic, but I don't think Rob picked up on it because he's kind of spectrumy seeming. Right. And Rob was like, oh, well, that's good to hear.

That's great. And then the interviewer was like, yeah, because sometimes, you know, and he just like looked away like. Really fucks you up. I guess no one knows that I'm being sarcastic here, but, like, yeah, obviously him being gone and being a giant star had an effect on me. Yeah, it's a tragic tale. It's a fucking nightmare. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, but you know how many celebrities don't have kids that end up murdering them because they were gone a little bit? It's only like seven. Yeah. It's only like seven people. Yeah, so. It's an elite list. Numbers are pretty, pretty low. Terrifying, very sad.

And that's another episode. Wow, bro, we've never gone out This was important Yeah, that was a very sad Sad way to end this one But okay, so I would like to say to our fans The cruise is coming up Oh yeah, here we go

On a lighter note We are very excited about that And it's really right around the corner It really is I hopped on the scale earlier today And was terrified by what I saw And I was like, man, I got to get in shape for this cruise. But then part of me is like, do I just let it go?

Let it go, baby. Just be slop in on this cruise. So I could swallow beers whole. So I have the frame to handle the amount of beers. I know I'm going to be drinking. Yeah. Hey, and didn't you guys see that thing where that dude made like a championship belt for the cruise that he's come? And it's dope as hell.
