Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important. Live from Whole 7, it's me, the caddy with the fatty kids. What if your pants didn't fill down?

Because they go over your shoulders. Hey, actually, you come downstairs. I got the real stuff. Let's go. Yes, sir, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah! We're back.

Yes, sir. And I'm feet too here on the flicks. We're in the flicks, baby. We're back. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. You know, I was thinking about you, Blake. I was thinking about you. Oh, I love it when you think about me, baby.

I was thinking, I was thinking about you, Blake. Because I was at a party this past weekend, and it was Nina Dobrev's birthday party. And we love her. And fan of the pod, she's not. Maybe she is. Yeah. But. Great episode of Workaholics.

We love her. I was at her birthday party. And I go outside and there were, the inside, it was like at this little speakeasy on off La Siena. It's a cool bar. But it was pretty small on the inside. And about midnight, I'm looking around. And there's like only 15 people there. And I'm like, what the fuck?

Like, Nina's friends, like, are we this old that we go home now before midnight on a birthday party? Freak to see you. On a Saturday? This is whack. And then I go outside. Uh-oh. And the tiny smoking area packed wall to wall.

100 plus people stuffed, stuffed in this little smoking corridor. And then I come out and I'm talking to somebody. I'm like, what the fuck is going on here? Why is everybody out here? And then they go, oh, yeah, smoking's back in L.A. Darts, baby. They said that like officially.

Smoking darts. Yeah, as if it was actually real. And by the way, from this person, I believed them. I just want to party. And looking around, I believed them. Smoking darts, baby. And then I'm like, trying to get a gauge on, like, what's going on.

Yeah, yeah. And I'm going around to people and I'm like, oh, you always been a smoker. And they're like, no, actually, just kind of started back up. And then the next person, they're like, yeah, my husband doesn't even know I'm smoking, so don't tell them. And everyone's

just getting back into it, which seems absurd, but you... When you think about Blakey, he's got his finger... He's got his finger on the pulse. Right. Yeah. It's a blessing and a curse. And he goes along with the crowd.

Yes, and I... Yes, I'm a follower. And he's a follower. He's a follower. What is that, Blake? Because you recently have started to smoke cigarettes. No, that was purely... Well, a little bit, but it was purely a Winnipeg thing. It had to be done to warm...

my soul, my chest, my lungs. It was very important to stay warm. Your bodily chimney. I don't know if that's exactly true. Dude, there's... I don't think it works that way. I'm telling you, brother, there's nothing like smoking a dart outside in Winnipeg, man. Okay, well, guess what?

It's back in L.A. It's back, dude. There's a lot of... I don't know what happened. I think it's because in the 90s, there was such a... And even into the early 2000s, there was such a strong... strong push too. No more smoking. It's very, very, very bad for you. But I think that the message has kind of worn off and people are just like, fuck it, dude. This is fucking smoke. They're feeling

really good. But why aren't they drinking? I don't understand. I mean, I hear your logic, but at the same time my mom was like, there's billions of bottles of hard alcohol just sitting on warehouses because no one's drinking. So we're smoking, but we're not drinking. Well, Drinking gets you inebriated. It gets you out of your mind. And also it gets me feeling. It also has calories. Cigarettes is a very skinny, man.

It's the game. I'm telling you right now. Everybody always claimed it was like an appetite suppressant. Remember when that was one of the things they said on the table? I remember. Sure. I remember. Yeah, remember on the table?

You remember the table. Yeah, talking on the table. What are you talking about? An appetite suppressor. But yeah, I do feel that that, yes, I think that that is the case. Yeah, you don't eat. You just smoke sicky. And it's very terrible.

It's very bad. And I'm here today as a smoker from Winnipeg. And now that I'm back in California, the habit is over. Are you back? I'm back. And I'm not smoking anymore. I didn't like the way I smelled or felt when I was smoking cigarettes. They're not good.

They're bad. Okay. So you're not. I'm not going to see you driving on the 101. The doors open on your Jeep. Smoking a sick. There's always a chance that on an off night, I might, you know, smoke a siggy. But the fact of the matter is, I'm not going to buy a pack of cigarettes ever again.

Do you have any cigarettes? Do you have any cigarettes left over? I have no cigarettes on my person, not in my household. Isaac actually got me some little bubble ones. So if you're at Chachah, so if you're at Chachaw, which is a bar there in Silver Lake, I believe. Correct. and someone's like, yo, Blake, I have a dark.

Hey, you want to go nibble on a dart dog? Yeah, should we go burn a dart dog? I just want to party. Are you burning a dart dog? Absolutely. I'm not. Not if you're inviting me out like that. No, sir, I'm not.

Here's the one way. Here's those. Here's the scenario. No, no. See, for me, for me, there's judgment because I'm not a smoker. I've never been a smoker. And good, and good for you.

And please don't. You know, my father's dealing with a lot of, health issues because of his cigarettes. And Blake's out here willy-nilly with his lungs. No, no, no, no. I'm done. Unbelievable. I saw the light. I saw the light. I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore. You need a light. And you know, you know,

I'm done. Let it up. How many, like, I know, like a lot of my family has had lung cancer and my grandmother died of lung cancer. Yeah, yeah. My grandpa. But then, but then people were like, I've talked about this. on the podcast before.

And then I've had DMs of people being like, well, you drink, yada, yada, you know, and I drink a lot less than I used to. And we appreciate all those various reasons.

Yes. That's life. But they care. I'm like, no one in my family has had liver cancer or disease. I feel like it's much harder to get that.

Yeah, maybe. Than lung cancer. Why is lung cancer? You guys are invincible. Because I think cigarettes are that bad for you. They're very terrible for you. So.

They're that much. worse than alcohol. And everyone says alcohol is essentially poison. I also think there's things that alcohol does that maybe isn't directly linked. Like it's probably melting your brain and like affecting you in other ways.

But there's no way to truly like just point to like, oh, that's alcohol doing that. But it's very bad for you. It's all very bad for you. I think they did it. I think they did. I think they did figure it out. Because the doctor, because when I went to the doctor, he was like, how much you drink in a week? And I'm like, not that much. Maybe four drinks. And he goes, well, food and Association has a new number for how many drinks you should have a week and it's zero.

And I was like, huh? And that's the whole new thing. I'm pissed now. That's unacceptable. Because they used to say like a glass of wine a night is fine or whatever. It's like a glass of wine is good for your heart. Yes. And now they're saying no alcohol is the best amount of alcohol.

But by the way, those guys are nerds. And the people who said it was good for your heart were the wine companies. Oh, big wine? Yeah. Even the alcohol companies, somebody was saying the other day was like, They did a big study where they're like, actually alcohol is good for you because it makes you more social. And if you're less social, you're more likely to do self-harm. No.

Dude, I like that. Have a drink. Go out. Be social. Save your life and maybe somebody else's. I heard that from my doctor that two buzz balls a week is actually a really good look. Go ahead. That will.

He didn't say that it's healthy. He said it's a good look. And his phrasing is good. Yeah. He said, actually two buzz balls a week is a good look. And then he cracked one open for you. He's like, here you go. Would you like a cram blaster on me?

And I said, do you have a grapes gone wild? Then he said, you know it, bro. And then we broed down pretty hard. And he poured it right into his belly button and you got it. I saw this video online. And this drink, I do feel would be pretty good. But here's the drink. They sprinkled what looks.

like cocaine. I saw this too. I think we have the same algorithm. Yeah, we do. We do. I'm listening. Sprickled what I imagine to be cocaine. Then they poured in the green apple, buzzball. Buzzball. And then they poured in... You sure it wasn't Creotin? Tidos. And then they poured in, uh, like a red bull. And then topped it off with like a grapefruit juice and some fanta. And then they chugged it As a bagel First of all, I bet it's delicious

Yes, sounds terrific And secondly, that's gonna get you going You have one of those at the beginning of the night That's a party starter. So I saw that video and I looked at his page And he pours the cocaine powder in it a lot And I looked it up and I know what it is actually It's that fake cocaine stuff that

Every aunt is doing at Christmas parties now? What is that? No cane or what is that? that there's fake blow it's like it's like this fake cocaine stuff but like you snort it as if it's actual cocaine it just looks like you're doing cocaine and it's like funny but that people are like we're doing cocaine and i'm like this is fucking weird it's Thanksgiving and we're doing family cocaine ha ha we're all doing cocaine look the kids are doing cocaine and you're like i don't know man i'm kind of hyped on that that definitely as long as it's not the well then like the one uncle's like, mine's actually

eat. Hey, actually, you come downstairs. I got the real stuff. You got the drip. No one eats Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody's hungry. Everyone's just fucking hopped up. Yeah, everybody's just dancing. Yeah, this, yeah, this Thanksgiving's much different than, than our previous 30 Thanksgiving.

It wasn't the fake cocaine. It's actually, it's actually, um, like, drink glitter. You put it in your drinks and it makes them like glitter. glittery and shimmer. I don't know if you guys have seen this stuff. Kind of cool. Hmm. Well, I hate that. It's like rainbow.

I think if you guys got it actually for like the kids, it's kind of fun. Like you poured in milk and make the milk look like it shines. It's kind of cool. You sprinkle a bunch of poison. Go ahead and send me some. Yeah. Well, I don't have like a plug or anything, but the drink glitter. Well, we're on Netflix now.

You know they're listening. I feel like, yeah, yeah. I feel like we've talked about don't bring anything up unless you can send us whatever you're talking about, okay? That goes for everything. Yes, if we ever speak about it, we need it. So please send it our way. Some drink glitter.

And we are on Netflix. So look, Rolls-Royce, we don't need three. Just send us one. We'll share it. We'll figure it out. Yeah, we'll share. We're not under print. Here's the thing.

This is my stand for anybody watching on glitter. I'm willing to put any product here, okay? On Netflix, you mean? Yeah, what did I say? On glitter? Sorry. Sorry, I've had some fake cocaine. before the recording that is.

Yeah. To be fair, to be fair, sounds like a streamer. Did you download Glitter? They've got all the new shows. It's pretty good. My daughters love it. Yeah, it's actually free.

It's free service. You've got to listen to this is important on glitter. It's really good. Yeah. There's ads, but like not that many. What is that, Blake? Please explain. This is a Guinness World Record-Setting

popcorn receptacle from the Fantastic Four movie, AMC released it This was what you could order And get your popcorn in And it's the largest popcorn bucket Ever produced It's of course the head of Galactus

Now by the way I went to see Marty Supreme Yesterday Did they have one of those? No but Chloe I was like Let's just get a medium popcorn And she goes

Let's just get a large Just in case That's crazy That's crazy I don't eat that much popcorn You're a monster Let's get it Just in case

By the way Then she eats 25 kernels and then hands me the job. Then daddy. Then daddy gets the bucket. Oh boy. The bucket of... And so then it's me just... This is just during the preview.

The movie hasn't even started. God damn. I ate so much fucking popcorn. You got to hand it over and you go, get this way from me. Get this away from me. Colby can't understand that because she has a thing called willpower, which... It's beyond. Oh, sir, I don't like it.

I don't even understand. how she has this. Interesting. Because she's able to just go, well, just don't eat it. And I'm like, what? That would be a waste. What do you mean?

Don't eat it. Come on. It's sitting in front of me and is popcorn and I'm watching a movie. Daddy wants to gobble. Yeah. Well, and popcorn's impossible. And by the way, how large is this?

It's huge. I got a small popcorn the other day. It was the size of my kids' freaking Ned. It just made me kind of sad. By the way, and you seen that? Or saying that that is the largest, it makes me go, that's such a lie, because the bathtub of popcorn that they gave me. I agree. It's huge.

It was so huge. Massive. This is large, but not just where the amount of popcorn. Maybe this isn't showing up, but it has like an echoing. It's, it's huge, dude. It's massive. We agree. But it's skinny.

That's a skinny amount. I mean, it's large. We agree. It doesn't seem like a world record setting size. It seems like. I'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying it doesn't seem like it. Can I just speak?

Can I just speak? Your truth? Look, it came with a diploma. It said. It honestly seems, it seems like 30% bigger than I, than a regular large popcorn at any movie theater. Okay, but can we at least say that what AMC is? I wouldn't give it that. And are we talking about, are we talking about, like, the vault, like the ears on that thing?

Like who? Not ears. It's a helmet. These aren't his ears. Galactus doesn't. have ears. Come on. I think you're talking, yeah, the largest meaning. And what is that guy? A fucking moose from space?

What do we look at at? I like that. I like that. Is that Rocky? That's a great addition to the board. Okay. It says it's, it's, the Galactus popcorn bucket is massive

measuring about 20 inches wide, 17 and a half inches tall, and 9.6 inches deep. holding over 300 ounces around 9 liters, making it a Guinness World Record holder for the largest commercially sold popcorn container. Yeah, I honestly feel like it's not the amount of popcorn that it's able to hold.

It's how with the ears. Sorry. They're not his ears. It's his helmet. They're antlers. Bullwinkle. Helmet. Antlers, I'll take that.

Todd, can you look up the, how much popcorn, a large popcorn at one of our, largest theater chains is. Like, just for comparison here? Do AMC. Let's do AMC. I feel like you know something. Do them all. Do AMC and Pacific. I haven't been to a movie in a while.

Going to the movies is the best. I like watching from home on Netflix, but yes, you're right. You're right. Well, I hope my favorite corporate overlord Netflix buys Warner Brothers. And then they get it to do both.

Okay, that's what I want. I like that. But Marty Supreme, I really enjoyed the movie. Yeah. It's an insane movie. It is all over the place. Really? It's crazy.

Have you seen it yet? So it's not just like a straightforward narrative. Oh, no. I mean, it is, but it's, it's kooky. It's all get out. That makes me want to watch it. That makes me really want to see it. You should watch it.

It's fun. I had a great time. And what does that mean? Is it surreal or is it like real and it's just kind of choppy and crazy? Or is it like wacky? It's real, but it's, So all over the place. Does he do timeout like Zach Morris style to the camera?

I wish he did. I wish he did. We need more of that. Maybe in the sequel, they'll do it. Yeah. That'd be too supreme. So, yeah, I went to a regal theater yesterday. And the regal large popcorn holds 85 ounces.

That's a lot. And what is that? And that was 90? This says it holds over 300 ounces. That can't make sense. That can't be right. That's not right. 300 ounces.

This, I'm sorry. And I did pay $80 for it, but there's no way that that holds that much. You paid, you paid $80? Yes, this is an $80 purchase. You paid $80 for that. Yeah. And I would have...

Can I say something? Upward. What? Worth it? Worth it? Yeah. So worth it. Well, by the way,

have you guys seen that they do that at AMC is they do these specialty popcorn things? Like they did one for Mission Impossible. That was like a briefcase. And then they're fucking cool, dude. They're cool. By the way, they need to find ways to make money because no one's going to the theater.

So the people that are going to the theater are movies. This is a great step. Who will buy the extra stuff? I totally get it. This is a step in the right direction because this is fucking cool. Or if you're just a working man,

you need a briefcase. Honey, I'm going to the theater tonight. I'll be back. I'm going to go to the movie. I'm going to watch something. I watched a few trailers, came home with a briefcase. Full of popcorn.

Go in the office. Absolutely, man. I love that idea. They have had some really cool ones. And it makes me want them to re-release old movies with new specialty popcorn buckets because I would pay for that shit. Okay. All right. What's on your mind?

What's one movie? I want Game Over Man with Adam's Butthole and you over it. And there's popcorn. And if you haven't seen it and you're on Netflix right now, go on over to Game Overman and check it out. It's one click away. What about just the Chihuahua, but the head is missing? and inside the body is where the popcorn goes. Brilliant.

Durs? See? Brilliant. 1969. Malcolm and Martin are gone. America is in crisis. And at Morehouse College, the students make their move. These students, including a young Samuel L. Jackson, locked up the members of the board of trustees, including Martin Luther King, Sr. It's the true story of protests and rebellion in black American history

that you'll never forget. I'm Hans Charles. Minnalick Lamomber. Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru.

And back then, I lied to my parents, I lied to police, I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years.

I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around here in my wife. Boom, boom. This is The Red Weather. Listen to the Red Weather on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This show contains information subject to, but not limited to personal takes, rumors, not so accurate stats, and plenty more. What's up, man? This is your boy, Navring, from the Broken Play Podcast. Look, it's the end of the season, the playoffs are here. But guess what? It ain't the end of your season.

You can always tune in with Broken Play Podcasts with Navu. on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Not a team who ain't going to the playoffs. They're cheese. Well, it's a rap. It's time to rebuild. Who's your MVP right now, then? Drake May up there, Josh Allen up there still.

Oh, my boy, Matthew Stafford. Where did his own Knicks at? He ain't too far behind. He did all this talk about. What Matthew Stafford is doing statistically, bro, is crazy. Bro, you know I ain't no Josh Allen fan. But Matthew Stafford got better weapon. Caleb Williams.

Hey, he should be in that conversation. What conversation, NPD. You should be in it. Listen to Broken Play with Navgreen from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or whatever you get your podcast. I actually drop better when I'm high. It heightens my senses. It calms me down.

If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself, If you feel different, you drive different. So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

Okay, I'm looking at an AMC mega bag. Here we go. And it looks like it says it holds 400 ounces. Well, that's 100 more than mine. Yeah. What the fuck? You can live in it afterwards. And it holds 400 ounces, but it's just a giant bag.

and by the way, doesn't even look that huge and looks about the same size of a large regal popcorn. But regardless, there's too much popcorn. Dude, it's too much popcorn. It sounds like, and by the way, I don't want to uncover something. I don't know what we're stepping into here as far as big popcorn goes.

True. Theater chains might start knocking on our doors. True. I don't want to get in trouble. We should be careful. Well, that is where the theaters make most of their money is the popcorn and the soda. I told you guys about the, It's this thing called CinemaCon.

And when Mike and Dave came out, they had me and Zach and Anna, Kendrick and Zach Effron go to CinemaCon in Vegas. And they sort of, all the studios sort of parade their big new movies. They showed this on the studio, the show, correct? Yeah, that's right. And it's crazy. Because they come out and like the CEO. of AMC and Regal and whoever else, they come out and they're like,

this was a huge year for the industry, ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for popcorn. Yeah! And then a giant popcorn bucket comes out and starts dancing around. They're like, we've sold $2.6 billion worth of popcorn.

Oh my God! And then it's all these AMC... Orville Redenbocker starts fucking. And Regal like franchise? owners in the in the in the in the stadium it like the stage or not the stage but in the crowd they're applauding they're standing up like hooting and hollering about how much popcorn they sold and and then they're like and we sold four point six billion dollars worth of soda and then the Coca-Cola drink comes out it was wild yeah and it makes me go like oh this is like the movies are just a way to

get people in the door so they can sell them the popcorn soda and the just And the soda and the giant head of Galactus. Some kind of Galactus, whoever that is. What kind of nerd shit is this, Blake? It's a bagel. Silver Surfer. What is this? He's in the Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four movie.

Correct. He is the main bad guy from the Fantastic Four. He eats planets. Seems scary. Seems like a scary guy. In the Fantastic Four movie, for what it's worth, you know, I thought it was good. But Galactus was fucking great, dude. They killed.

Would you love? love it if they were like, he eats planets and they just gave him a giant cigarette. Oh, okay. Took one drag and he's like, appetite suppressed, solar system saved. And he just walks away. No, you know what? I think I would have liked it maybe if Silver Surfer was a dude and not a chick, okay? I don't know why they did that.

All right. Come on. Adam, let it hang there. Let it hang there. Let it hang there. Let it hang there. Oh, wow. That's an interesting take.

Who cares? Anything, Adam? Have you guys seen the trailer for He-Man? Dude, yes. Yes. Which, it's kind of a bummer now. I feel like AI fucked everything up

because now you go like, that could have just been like an AI moment. We kind of get it now. You know what I mean? No, I don't. Please explain what you're talking about. I know what you're saying. But I think you feel that way

because the trailer didn't say anything. Right. It was just a... Yeah, the trailer was fucking stupid. It's just like a visualization of He-Man as real people and they can do that with AI so easy now that a trailer

has to have, yeah, a different kind of hook now because it's like, oh, I've already seen what He-Man would look like if he was a real human. I've seen Beavis and Budhead. I've seen... But this is every... This is every bad trailer. Every bad trailer like shows you all the big crazy stuff and like a few jokes and like a dog that talks or whatever.

But if you don't get the like oh, this is the setup of the movie, you're like what did I just watch? I don't need to go see this, which makes me scared about what the movie is. It's a delicate balance. And also, I feel like He-Man is cool for people that are our age and even a little older. Or older.

I know. Because we were more of the Ninja Turtles generation, and He-Man was, like, just a little older. Even though weirdly, my family exclusively bought me He-Man and refused to buy me Ninja Turtles. And I'm like, give me a fucking Ninja Turtle around here. Here's what I'll say in defense of He-Man. as someone who went back in later years and recently watched He Man

Back to Eternia? And jerked off to what's that? It is one of the coolest cartoons ever made Because it is so fucking weird, dude They just made odd decisions It's like set in Well, Eternia, but like it's like It's not medieval

It's not sci-pot It's like a merging of everything It's like swords and lasers And like just really strange characters because evidently the way the characters were made were basically just for like to produce toys. So it was like

what would be a cool toy and then writers had to write to that. I feel like that was the era. You don't think that was just the era where like they mixed space with everything. Yeah but like wasn't there some like space cowboy one? There was. I forget what that was called like Lone Star or something. Then there was

like the Silver Hawk, Lone Star Silver Hawk was like space and whatever. Yeah, it was it It was the era of just like mashing two things that shouldn't be together. It was like street sharks or whatever that one was. Ninjas and turtles. Yes. But just rewatch He-Man.

What a time to be alive? Thundercats. The episodes are fucking weird, dude. They're like honestly strange. They're strange to watch. I was kind of hoping that it was going to be cool because Shiro was my sexual awakening. I remember being like a little boy And then for whatever reason

She wrote it was like I was like oh what's good What's good girl? Yeah my mom caught me like trying to take off her clothes Sure was there clothes to be taken off? Is that the end of the story? Yeah All right yeah you got anything else to get off your chest She was like a little the little

Figuring and I was like trying to like I can figure out how your boobs are huge I could just take off her like shield plate You're just taking the plastic toy and just scraping it against the side wall. I was trying to like rip off the little part so so like you see you're naked and you know turns out you can't do that so

my mom's just thinking I'm disfiguring this doll right she's like oh he's a psychopath he wants to rip her head off you're just painting your painting boobs on it yeah very shagodeling yeah so you know I was like oh I hope I hope that movie's cool and it doesn't look that cool and then

Jared Letto apparently is is Skeletor oh no but then when they show Skeletor it's just Skeletor. I'm like, you could have had anybody do that then. Dude, they got Frank Langella or whatever for the OG with Dolph Lundgren, right? Oh, yeah, that movie rocks. And he was like a, like, real actor. He's like one of those people who's like, all right, I've done real movies for like 20 years. I need to cash out and just be Skeletor.

He's one of those guys that if he worked with us, he would hate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a real actor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be in my travel. But like, the CGI, it's getting tough.

It's getting tough. We're bailing, we're doing so much CGI that you're like, and I don't know. Maybe they like dotted up his face so you can see his performance, Jared Lettos. So it's like the performance is there, like motion capture, whatever the face it is. But like, I just want maybe some prosthetics and then you can actually see him. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.

Yeah, to me, Jared Letto sucks. Okay, I like that. That's a good take. He just sucks. Yeah, he kind of does. So he's a shitty Skeletor. Yeah. And then to even have him as Skeletor sucks.

And then to have him as Skeletor, but you can't even tell that it's him. Yeah. But then you know that it's him. It somehow makes it even worse. I didn't know it was him and it doesn't do much for me. You're like, then just get an extra to like get like a martial arts guy who can be badass underneath the Skeletor costume. Why are we even putting Jared Letto in this fucking costume when just knowing that he's underneath there makes me like it less. Yeah.

I want to like Skeletor. Skeletor rocked. I had Castle Grey skull. Who do you want to be Skellator? Let's do it. Who's Jack Black? You know who'd be good as Skeletor? Speaking of, we were talking about one battle after.

another Benicio del Toro as Skeletor would be fucking amazing incredible and you know he would be great dude but guess what but guess what he was busy kind of just playing some guy in one battle after another oh god

and he got nominated for an Oscar you know who should have played Shaya Shia could make any rule better yeah Shia Labov as Skeletor but then you'd be like God I wish he was he man as both of them dude oh on a Michael be Jordan. He wouldn't make a good he-man.

He-man has to be kind of a basic vanilla bitch. Does he? Who is He-man? Just a basic, basic vanilla bitch. But Prince Adam, he's like Prince Adam during the day? Just like a, I mean, just a good-looking white guy. I don't know. I don't think he's that known of an actor. I don't know. As long

as they don't make it She-Man, all right? If it's he-man, then I'm fine. It's just keep it. Let it. Let it hang. Let it hang there, Adam. No, no, no. This is a group. There's a group conversation. His name is Nick. Nicholas Galazine. Galazine.

Okay. Sounds like a hot boy. I like that. And yeah, I think he's a good-looking, strapping, strapping white boy. Was it a different guy before? Was there a recasting? I thought it was that big, jacked, brown-haired kid who was, like, new on the scene. I don't know.

I don't know who that is. I don't know who that is. I know they got big shoes to fill because if you've seen the old movie, it is dull. And, yeah. Well, they didn't do that. This guy's like a big kid. And he, you know, he dyed his hair blonde, I think, for this. I think he did have dark hair.

That's cool. And he is in good shape, but he's not like Dolf Lundgren. Wasn't it Noah Centino? Did they, I thought it was Noah. Isn't that his name's Noah Centino or whatever? I think you're right. There must have been a recasting. And did they do a recasting?

They must have. Because I had, I had these dreams. No, forget it. Go ahead. Yeah. No, sir, I don't like it. All right. Go ahead.

Fair enough. I used to, I used to work out. in the same gym as him. And he was a very, very nice kid. Noah Santino. Okay. Check out. Yeah, he replaced the actors attached to the project such as Kyle Allen.

Don't know who he is. And Noah Centino. I did not get the call for that one. I feel like Adam would be a great he man. Yeah. It would be a much different. Adam is? It would be a much different movie.

I do like the idea of Adam getting the script to like read it. like, so when is Shira coming in here? I got some wardrobe ideas. Well, I told you, did I tell you guys about this story? This was way back in the day. And it was after Pitch Perfect. And I think I was like in the talks for Mike and Dave. So things are like kind of heating up for me a little bit.

And my agents call me and they go, hey, we're, this is back when they delivered scripts to you. They would not send them over email. They would deliver a script to you. By crew. And they go, okay, Adam, we have a script. It's going to be delivered to you around noon or whatever. And then I get the ding-dong and I answer the door. And the guys, the kid that works for our agency is standing there with a giant wooden box.

And he hands it to me. And this must have been before Mike and Dave. but it was really early on and he gives me the wooden box and I open it up and it's the new Indiana Jones movie that Shia ended up doing and I'm like

holy fuck God everything always coming back to Shia doesn't it though? Doesn't it kind of? I'm like are they offering me because the ages are like it's just an offer they want you to read it it was in like the box like they kept the

Ark of the Covenant in yes it was like it was like a thing that they're giving me like an artifact. And I'm like, holy shit. And I'm opening it up. I'm like shaking. I'm like, oh my God.

Am I about to get it at the fucking... You know who didn't shake? Shia. Go ahead. Shia. Adam's like... I didn't shake. I was geeking, dude.

I'm a boss. Dude, immediately, like within three minutes. Ding dong. The kid's there again. He's like, I fucked up. I'm so sorry. I fucked up so bad. I need that back right away.

Oh my God. Right away. I gave you. Here it is and it's just in a fucking Manila envelope and it's just some script I ended up passing on because it sucks. I was hoping this was a Jexe origin story brother. That would be a fucking time.

So he was delivering many scripts when you were supposed to get one script and he gave you the Indiana Jones. And he gave me the Indiana Jones script and I was shook. Oh my God. I've never heard that. You're like this is hand delivered from Spielberg himself

dude. Dude, I was so excited. I was fully geeked. And within minutes, the kid was like, I'm so sorry. I need that back right away. I will be fired. The fact that you even opened it, I might get fired. Because it was like sealed.

It was like sealed shut. And I'm like, okay. And then he hands you like a fucking cartoon Scooby-Doo remake, but there's no Scooby in it. Yeah. It's just called. It's just Scooby. I don't remember the movie. It was a movie that I passed.

I don't even know if it was, yeah, it was like the emoji movie. We'd like you to be the shit emoji. Yeah. Huh. You're perfect for the shit emoji. Oh, thanks. Gotcha. We love you for this.

Oh, man. That is a heartbreaker, dude. Yes. That's great. Yeah, this industry will take you down a pick. Yeah, it'll really humble you. I'm about to be humbled again. And I'm about to go to Hawaii to do a celebrity golf tournament.

You're doing that. I've golfed maybe maybe 10, 12 times in my entire life. And two of the times were just this past week that I went on the local, like, shitty nine-hole course here in Orange County just to like get some reps in. By the way, horrifically bad there. Oh, there's no way. I'm like, oh, it takes me nine shots to get it in three. There's no way. So what am I going to be in Hawaii when it's a thousand yards away?

It's odd that you're being asked to do this, Adam, because you really can't golf at all. He's not being, they ask everybody, and then it's odd that he's saying yes. Yeah, you shouldn't have said yes to it. That is bad on your part. Okay, so the CEO of Children's Miracle Network, which I'm working with. You're going to need a miracle. And it's basically almost every children's hospital in the country is part of the Children's Miracle Network and we help raise funds for these children's hospitals. It's an awesome thing.

I'm working with them. And she said, Adam, we really want you to do this because I'm going to be an ambassador for them for this next however long. And she's like, this is our big event. We want you to do it. It's called the Ace Shootout. We want you to do it. And I'm like, count me in. And then I said I count me in

And that was like four months ago Now it's actually happening And now I realize I actually have to go golf You can't pivot and be like You know what? I'll be like a funny caddy And I'll kind of like go around That's a great idea of theirs Great pitch and even better

You're a catty with a fatty You do a fake dick down your leg It's humongous And you're like live from whole seven It's me the catty with a fatty kids Oh that's fun Does that work? Yeah.

I don't know. And by the way, this is just me like, I don't know if you could tell from the top of my head. No, I feel like. I'm just coming up. I feel like you were good with the catty thing. I don't know about the fatty part. But like having Adam there is like a funny little catty dude who like makes a little joke. So I think I was wrong about who I said the other week.

I mentioned someone and it wasn't that person. So the people that I will be golfing with are Drew Bloods. Hey, sure. Okay. Yeah. Donovan. We interviewed him after the Super Bowl,

which we are going to the Super Bowl next week. We'll talk about it. We are. Yeah. Justin Reed. Sure. Fuck, yeah. I believe a wide receiver for the chiefs.

They're all football players. They're all football players. Yeah. And then Rob Regal is going to be there. And then Chris Cellios. Hockey player. The NHL hockey star. I believe he's a Wisconsin Badger legend.

He's also a Blackhawks. And Black Hawk. And you know all these guys, these NFL guys, they're great. For sure, Cheleos. I feel like a lot of hockey players, it just translates. Yeah, it's thick. Oh, yeah. And then a lot of football players, I feel like any athlete on their off time, they still want to compete.

And golf is like a way to still do that even when they're not. Football has the longest off season, right? Yeah. Is that right? I think you're right. Shortest seasons. So you would say you would think they're golfing the most, right? Probably, probably.

I'm going to get fucking smoked. And it's not even about obviously I'm going to lose, and that's fine. I just don't want people to be like, oh, God, I can't. This is taking all day long. He's ruining the whole game. Here's my question. Do you like golfing? Yeah, I have a good time when I'm out there.

It's not like a badge. It'll be fun. Just be the funny guy. And then maybe just play like three holes. Don't tell him what to do. Adam, do what you want. You told him to be a fatty with a caddy and have a fake dick down his thing. I suggested it.

I didn't say you had to. I have to play 36 holes. We're doing it's two full 18 holes. Yo, that's a nightmare. That's a nightmare for me. Loose. Golf? I finally go.

I find golf so long. And I'm bad also. It is. So it's the worse you are, the longer it feels, right? Because you just are agonizing and literally playing longer because it's more shots. That's insane. 36 holes. That is insane.

That is so much golfing. That's going to take you four days. Yeah. Are you guys playing like the best ball or whatever? We're like whoever hits the best shot. He don't know. Suggest that. I know.

Just constantly suggest that. How about we do the best ball? Adam, they're going to see how bad you are and they're going to like update the rules. And they're going to tell you like, yeah, you can skip a few. Well, one of the days, like the winner of the tournament, they win $25,000 for their charity or for their children's hospital. Yeah, I mean, sorry. Sorry, Children's Hospital of Omaha. I'm not winning shit.

Daddy's not bringing home the bacon. Yeah. I'm not bringing it home. 1969, Malcolm and Martin are gone. America is in crisis. And at Morehouse College, the students make their move. These students, including a young Samuel L. Jackson, locked up the members of the board of trustees, including Martin Luther King's senior.

It's the true story of protest. rebellion in black American history that you'll never forget. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Mennelick Lamouba. Listen to the A-building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents.

I lied to police. I lied to everybody. There were years right in where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend?

They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around. My wife. Boom, boom, this is the red weather.

Like, what would you, if you could, Blake Anderson. Darts? I could probably. What would you most enjoy and flourish at? No. I've played darts with you. particularly great at darts.

I'm telling you, I think I could put together a pretty decent dart game against other celebrities. Well, can I tell you something? That seems like the easiest thing to, like, get a bunch of people together to play. Why don't you start your own thing? You don't need a golf course. You just need a weird bar in fucking Burbank. I guess, like a celebrity dart tournament?

Yeah. Yeah. And we're not talking cigarettes, pal. Yeah, so what, you don't care about charity or like you don't love the kids or what's the deal? Smoking darts, boy. Yeah. No, I just don't, I don't want to, I don't want to organize it.

But yeah, if it's like Blake's Darts tournament sponsored by fucking American spirit and it's like you get cigarettes, you goes to a good cause. It's fucking comic to the reservation or something. It goes to lung cancer association. Yeah, that's fucking cool. I'm all in. We bring Joe Campbell back. I feel like what I would flourish. I think I'm a good pool player.

I'm not great. I like that. I am D's. I'm better than I would say 95% of all celebrities at foosball. Oh, Fuzball.

Fusball is the thing that I can do that I'm much better than any others. I love that idea. I love Fuzball. Fusball's a... I feel like that could be televised in a fun and exciting way.

And wouldn't you think I'm better than most celebrities? Lucky? wouldn't you say that I'm a good good football player? I think you're pretty good I haven't played you in a while but you're pretty good

He hit you with the tone That was unbelievable I just I just know I think you're pretty good I just know right off the rip I know players that are better than you That are in our immediate circle Who's the best actor

Who's the best celebrity Who's the best celebrity Sure but they're not You wouldn't call them celebrity They're our friends I mean Zach I wish I was pizza Is kind of a celebrity To me and nudge

He's literally my friend. He's literally just my friend. Oh, he's very funny. Yeah, he works at a hospital. Blake, do you know any celebrities who have played? Played? Blake, Blake, you play foosball with celebrities a lot. Do you know anyone who's better than Adam?

That's what we want to know. Yeah. Are we including, can it be nudge. Can it be nudge. Professional skateboarder. Don Nguyen. Yes, I would say. Nude.

Yes. Okay, Nudges is great. Nudges is fantastic. Nuge is huge. But, okay, we're talking. Talking maybe actors, then. Actors, musicians. Actors, musicians, athletes.

Zach Taylor Rocha, very good. Very good. I played on my birthday with him. Rage Against Machine fame. He's very good. And so then Adam... And do you think he's better than me? Pretty good, dude.

Because I would say I'm on the same level as Atiba. Oh, that's a tough one. And I would say I'm not quite as good as Aco. Okay, well, I need to see you play again. see you play again. It's been a minute since I've seen you at the table. I do recall you having skills, but I do need to see. Fair enough. And Adam, are we playing one on one? Are we

getting paired up? It's got to be paired up. On a Tuesday? We're getting paired up. I think you I think you're getting paired up. And that's kind of fun. Yeah. And I can see how the cameras are going to be pointed. There's one obviously on the table, but then you're getting the shit talking like, like, this we could sell. Netflix.

Are you listening? I think golf is a sport. You had to have a little extra coin. And I never had that. Right. Yeah. So I was mostly in the bars playing bar games. You were at the Boys and Girls Club. Yes. That's the Y. That is exactly right. I was at the Y. I was at the Y

quite a bit. Oh, dude, I got the best fucking, speaking of like after school at the Y or like wherever, boys and girls club, wherever you had to go, my kids got from Santa knock hockey this Christmas. Do you guys remember knock hockey? Is that the one you play on your knees? Yeah, you have, I bet you do. It's like a wood.

It's like a wooden table and you have these little wooden hockey sticks and then a little wooden puck and you like slam it off the walls trying to shoot on each other. Yeah. But in front of the goals like the little diamond that's drilled in. Huh. Oh my God. Hours and out with it. It might be super Midwest. I don't know.

Knock hockey. Sounds dope is awesome. Yeah. It's the fucking. Oh yeah. And now my kids. Oh yeah. It just gets off like the video games and like this is like if you had a church that was trying to recruit you off the streets.

They had this shit. Oh, yeah. Okay. So is this year a tournament, celebrity tournament? Celebrity knock hockey? No, we're doing swimming. We're getting ladies and bathing suits, dudes and speedos. That's half of it.

And then we're racing. Well, wait, you just got super geeked on knock hockey. Where did it go from there? It's just your kids love playing. No, I was just... Just the reindeer games of like after school, like doing foosball and like that kind of shit. I fuck with knock hockey. I was always like a mainstay.

Any like kids like here fucking go play that. Yeah, but it's a lot of 4 square and Tetherball. I remember getting a little bit of trouble because my next row neighbor was my babysitter. We go. And she was a senior in high school

when I was in we treat her like she read the third grade, the fourth grade and I remember I would play two square with her and I would always go real low and she would bend down dude

and then I would see down her shirt and it was unbelievable and then she told my mom like hey your son was perving on me really? She figured it out I know she ratted me well yeah dude I mean I was going low

every time and she'd go low and then I'd go yeah yeah she goes I could tell because he kept going garr-g-g-g-ha. How do you know? I was like nine years old, you know, I was just amazed. And then she ratted me out, dude.

She did. She ratted me out. And then my mom... She's dead now. Had like a real conversation with me about... Titties. Not staring at women's breasts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, it didn't stick. That's... That made you like... them more. Damn, son. I'm just gonna keep doing that. You went from 4 square to 2 stair. Never played 4 square.

I don't know why. I don't know why I never played 4 square. Did you play Steal the Bacon or Prison Ball or any of those? Steal the Bacon. Is Prison Ball and Steal the Bacon the same thing? What's prison ball? Prison ball and what the same thing?

Steal the bacon. Steele the bacon is just the eraser. Steal the bacon is the eraser in the middle. You call a number or multiple numbers And you got to go snatch that Before the person matching your number And then they tag you, right? They can tag you when you pick it up

But that's when you would both get in the middle And it'd be like who's gonna pick it up Because as soon as you pick it up I'm gonna tag you That shit was fucking dope Though the game that would get the most intense Is a Red Rover, Red Rover Oh, that was an arm breaker

Send this person over And the worst was I mean if you were like Blake you were like a tiny skinny kid Did this ever happen to you? I remember I would always feel so bad for the really tiny kids where they couldn't break the arms. They would run over and try to break through

and then they would just kick the clothesline. So will you explain Red Rover to me? Because I've never played that. I don't know what that is. What is it? They send like you're, you send this person over and you're in a line and then they have to run through.

You stand with your arms holding each other's hands in a line out like this and you have to break through their arms. Oh, this sounds brutal. Our line will go, Red Rover, Red Rover send Ders right over and you would come barely through and you try to break the chain. If you don't break the chain, you join

our line. So you try to get the whole line on your team. Oh, so it just starts with two people and then if they brought that one person, then you join the chain? Or what? No, weirdly it starts like seven and seven. Like you start equal numbers on both. side.

Do you get to choose where you break through? Yes. As a runner, you get to pick. And so then you would Adam just break through two girls would pick? Yes. He would just run straight. Adam would just be like, uh, I think I'm going to run between them, Adam. Your mom is on speed dial.

We're not doing this. Yes, points. Run through Greg and Noah. We're calling your mom. Adam would say Red Rover, Red Rover, sent Cynthia's big ass. He's on over. He'd be like, huddle up. Yeah, yeah.

Adam was a, it was a problematic game. I guess I'm out. He stole the bacon on that one, baby. Okay. God damn. So, yeah, but I guess you would just run through, wouldn't you just run through the weakest link every time? Yeah, you try.

And then I believe if you broke their link, they joined your team. And what if you're just holding onto some girl's hand all hard as far? I can't remember the rules even a little bit. I just remember feeling bad. for like the skinny kids. You break their arms. Yes. Literally people's arms were like dislocated.

So, okay. That's why we never played. They can't be playing this game anymore. Outlaw. No, that's an illegal game. And Dodgeball is now no longer a thing, I think. Yeah, kids used to get smoked. I heard my kid, my kid was playing dodgeball the other day.

Really? I love that for, wow. He's a little renegade. And I said, I said, that's great news. That's a great news. So I'm just, Yes. Bring it back.

So they're playing it. I don't know what kind of ball they're playing with. It probably isn't that like red ball from like the 80s. A little fucking foam. We played with like the Nerf soccer ball. We did not play with the red ball that often. We had the rubber ball. We had the Red Rubber.

No, we had the rubber ball. And that was going through a Catholic elementary school. And I feel like we had all the old. Yeah. All that old shit that really hurt you. Right. No, I think spankings were done. Spankings were done.

Hot, hot, hot, hot. But it was an old church. It was an old church school. So there's like, that's where I kicked this, where my bully was bullying me at a top of the staircase. And then I kicked him down the staircase. And he dislocated his shoulder. And then later on, I found out that he thought I was his bully. And maybe I'm, maybe I was bullying him all along.

I don't know. Yeah. It was a real fight club ending. Yeah. And did anyone, did he push you down any stairs or? No. No. He just called him the name.

Interesting. Interesting. No. I don't know. He kept just asking you if you wanted to play. And you were like, God. Yeah. Bullying me into playing with you before I fucking kick you down the stairs.

300 kicked him in the chest. What? Dude, I was really violent. In hindsight, I was really violent to him. Why were you violence? Your parents never hit you. Who a bad? Yeah.

No, they don't. hit me. So where to come from? Watching he man. Well, my dad told me to hit him. Oh. Because he did, he, this kid, he, one day, we were all friends. And this, I think, was fourth grade. Yeah. And he comes out to me and goes, hey, I heard what

you did. We're no longer friends. Right. Right. Him in the posse. And so I'm like, what? And then all of a sudden, all of my friends are like, hey, we got to be friends with Brian. We can't be friends with you. We'll be friends with you if Brian's not around. And you didn't know what you did. Right. And I, yeah, it really, was eating.

And I'm like, what did I do? It was probably the four square. Go ahead. Or maybe you called his chick over. I read Rovered. You know, too hard? And for whatever reason, he just took all my friends. And I'm like, and then we'd be playing basketball.

And it would be like me and my two kind of doofist loser friends. And then all of my other friends are on his team now. And so it'd be like 10 versus two. And I just had enough. And my dad was like, he's fucking ass. Kick him down the stairs. My mom's like, only punch if he punches you first.

And then she leaves me. Legally. Is he bigger than you? Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, he's a lot bigger than me. And he goes, well, then punch him in the face as hard as you can and then run away. And I'm like, that's a great idea. So the next day I do love the idea of like that being passed down like generation to generation.

We're just saying, we as divines, we punch. And then we run. And we survive to see another day. Maybe run. And you hide. I was hoping he'd be like You pour a bunch of candy out At the top of the staircase

And when he bends over to pick it up You kick his ass down the fucking stairs And you kill him That's good And then you run That's good Yeah So then I punched him in the

On the blacktop And his friends formed a circle around him And he cried While they all like Had their backs to him And he hovered And I'm like he's a bitch Everyone will be on my side now

And then people are like I can't believe you punch Brian And I'm like He's the villain. He's the bad guy. No. I think you had the story all wrong, dude. You were a menace.

Apparently. Yeah, apparently. I remember seeing a fight. Maybe we covered this. But like, these two dudes just started going at it. And then one dude punched the other guy in the face and broke his glasses. And then like, the fight stopped. And it was like, oh, man, my mom's going to kill me.

And he was like, oh, let me help you pick up the glasses. Yeah. It just like superseded it. It was like, fuck, dude. We were just fighting. But now it's like, a whole other thing. And your mom's going to be mad. Yeah.

School yard fights are just socialization to the max. Is the best. Where it's like this is what we feel like we need to do. We need to fight. Yeah. You have to. What else can we do? We have to get squaw.

At my middle school, at the top of the hill was a circle that like overlooked the playground in the middle school and so that's where the fight totally and that's where the fights were it would be and it was like the main event and it was like I'll see you in the circle after school and holy shit there'd be like 40 kids up there just

who's the best dude we should still do that the best and then the kids that would go and would participate in those fights and you're like man they're so badass and then later you found out that they're just in horribly abusive homes and it's really sad.

Yeah, it's really, really sad. Yeah, it got dark. Fighting is not the answer. Smoking is bad. It's just like, come on. Reading the police report from back home in your 20s is raw.

It's like the top ten or top... 20 in 60 or 70% of these towns are in Wisconsin, including Madison. And it's just like, God damn.

By the way, how do they measure this? Drunkest is the stat, drunkest towns. And it's like, so is that most alcohol sold or something? Alcohol sold. Per capita. Or like drunk in public? Like, how do you know how it's drunk? Maybe it considers all of it.

Maybe it's a collection of all those stats. Maybe it's a really well thought out stuff. But the study. But like at that point, if you're a Wisconsin person, you've got to just be like, we got to uphold this record. Like, we're doing it. Yeah, yeah. But the darkest shit is that in Wisconsin, they don't sell alcohol after 9 p.m. in the stores and they don't sell it on Sundays. God, damn.

God damn. God damn. It's doing work. God, damn. Okay, so Todd put in the chat here study that I think you were talking about, number one is Green Bay, Wisconsin. Go get them. The percentage. of adults drinking to excess.
