Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about what's the most important, bottom line, critical thing happening on this planet. today on this is important? That's how good of a life it is to have a huge tick is you get free haircuts for you and all of your friends. Get me on the gymnastics smats and I'm trouble. Wouldn't it be interesting to know how large Abraham Lincoln's penis was in comparison to Kubla Khan?

Buckle up. Yes! Just, oh. Oh, no. Watch it, bitch. God. God feeling good. Can we play that?

Are we allowed to play that? I don't know. We've been told. We've been told that some of the songs that we're playing, that we, you know, this word, Lucy Goosey stuff. And we'll play a song, you know, we're a topical podcast. We might ask, what does that ACDC song sound like? That's life. Would you say we just had our, we just had our hand slapped?

We did. By the man. by the evil empire. So back to the YouTubers, guys, guess what? Netflix isn't letting us play music. We're back.

But if you listen to the audio version, just wherever you find your podcast, you'll hear the music and all that stuff for some reason. Yep. But for whatever reason, Netflix, there's sticklers for it. They're sticklers. It happens to the best of us.

What are you wiping off the corner of your mouth there? Dude, I normally don't fuck with Trader Joe's. Okay. But they make these things. that are essentially big Fritos with essentially cool ranch dusting on them. And they are out of control.

So you're just eating chips right now? Yeah, I just had some chips. Who a bag? Oh, okay, okay. Wait, what are they called? What's the name of that item, if you don't mind? I don't know. I don't know.

Do you have it with you? Can you show us? Is it on your person? Long story short. They're in a fucking back. They're in a bag like that. Oh, Jesus Christ. What was that?

My God. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. This is left over from the Super Bowl party. Okay. You Ziploc your snacks? Hey, Blake. Shut the fuck up.

Whoa, rude, dude. The audience that is listening needs to know what the fuck you're holding up, bud. Hey, why don't you go pick some songs we can't fucking hear anymore? Let me explain myself. We threw a Super Bowl party. We dumped a bunch of fucking chips and stuff into like the bowls, right? everyone leaves our house after having a great time. Awesome.

And then we were like, we don't have the fucking bags anymore, so we put them in like zip locks. Wow. Yeah, I feel like this is kind of a normal thing. I don't think it's... Is that okay? I'm pissed now! I don't think it's way out of pocket to do that. That seems...

I don't know why, but maybe it's my childhood, but that feels like something my Mormon neighbor did. And we didn't do that in our household. What's wrong with some Mormonism? Yeah, sure. Look, I'm with you. the people who put the cereal right into the plastic container and then they just have it in the plastic things instead of the box. I know. That's weird. Fair enough. But people do these things. After a party, though, are you cutting me some slack? Fair enough. No judgment. You know what? No judgment. No judgment's here. Take back?

Yes. Well, you said that about Mormon and how you hate them. I didn't say that. Essentially. That was the vibe that we were getting. Why do people dislike Mormon people? Is it only because... It's problematic. They come over... They like... They come over to... your house all the time and kind of bother you. That doesn't help. I'll tell you that much. Yeah. No, that's Jehovah's Witnesses. That's not Mormons. Oh, and that's a different thing. I thought that that was the same thing.

It's definitely both of those people, but those are two different things. Sure, the Mormons have the helmets on. The Mormons knock on your door and they've got the sidebags. I was at your guys' house on Packard when they came by that one time. Right. And it was crazy. At my house? They thought you were off duty. Your guys, where you guys lived together, yes. Us. We were roommates.

You don't remember? We were real me. No. What was that? But I had never seen it in person. And they rolled up with like the sidebags and they tried to rope us in. They were like, you know, you want to fucking be Christian. They're like, we know you guys are heathens.

Yeah. We know you're heaths. They came in like this. They're like, oh, smells like a little reefer in there. Why are, why are Jehovah's Witness? Why are Mormons problematic? Because every Mormon I meet, they're super nice. They're just really nice people.

They are nice people. I remember seeing, and I don't know, I haven't fact-checked it or anything, but there's like some like old video from like the 80s or the 90s where it was like explaining Mormonism and there's some very racist undertone. There was some like, yeah, like they were trying to explain. Well, they're very white, all the people. They're all like blonde. Yes, exactly. And they try to explain like other races and the explanation was bad. Bad.

Yeah. How would you explain other races go? Explain other races. I don't know, what does that even mean? Like in the video, it's like, and people like from Africa are like the seed of the devil. And that's why their skin is like that. Oh, and if we could just clip that sound like that. Yeah, it's bad.

It's bad. It's not good. Yeah. So I don't know if that's what they still teach kids, but at some point that was part of the. So this is the fundamentalist church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that I'm reading. And it ends. Is that different? This is the mid-200.

The FLDS has come under increased scrutiny for allegations of child sexual abuse, child marriage. Okay. Human trafficking, child labor abuses, fraud, and ostracizing of members. I feel like this is every religion though. That's bad. Yeah, that sounds, that's all encompassing. I don't want to single them out. What haters going after them?

Yeah, this is the whole thing. It's a fucking pyramid scheme where they're like, there's a dude you'll, never meet who does everything great for you and I'm the guy who can talk to him. Adam, you good? Right. No, I'm not good. I don't know. I don't understand what's happening. I think I know what's happening. You're talking

poorly about the church and I think it's... Satan? Hit him with it. Did you just have a stroke? I had something's happening. What is happening right now? Oh, God, this is the... This is, this is, this is they're going to be funny or the worst day of our lives? It's not funny. It's not funny. I think I'll be fine.

I don't know. Is this like heartburn or There's this like, you're beating fast. If he just power washed blood out of his mouth and was like, Jesus Christ, Latter-day Saints. Oh, no. That's what happened. Died on Netflix. Yeah, that was, that sort of felt like I was having a heart attack, but then it passed,

so I don't think I was. But for a second, I was thinking I was having a heart attack. Bhopal! I think that maybe something is still happening. Yeah, I don't know. It's still sort of happening, but it's... Is it like a french fry stuck in your throat? You know, when you have like a French fry?

No, and I didn't even, when you said heartburn on, but I'm like, what would give me heartburn? I had eggs. 40 years of eating steak. And Red Bull. That might burn your heart right down on the ground. Steak doesn't, steak doesn't give heartburn dirt. No, of course not. Dude for sure.

No doubt. I'm eating elk. I'm eating elk dick right now. Oh, what the hell? Like that. That's brutal. Sorry, I almost died, dude. That was crazy.

No, this is cool. This is actually good for the podcast. Oh, is it? Yeah. We needed something to really... That would have been cool. We were starting to dunk on religion and then you died immediately. That would have been fucking type bottle.

Yeah, converted. Well, I don't know if we were dunking on religion. I was just saying, what is the deal other than with Mormonism? Careful. Careful. Like, you're going to die. It's coming back. I'm serious.

It's coming back, dude. You're going to die. What's happening? I'm living in a nightmare. Dude, stop. Get a glass of water. We're joking. You got to stop.

Stop talking about it, man. Stop. What just happened there? You went to the water. Yeah, why don't you bring the water to your lips? Why did you take your lips to the water? Well, it's not, it's, people are going to be like, what's wrong with your water? But I'm mixed like, what is wrong with your water, brother?

That isn't water. Man of the people. Is that Red Bull watered down? No, I'm, no, it is, it's, it's not. It's me. It's monster water. Adam's, Adam goes like this to draw. drink water because the people are going to say, what's up with your water?

Yeah, bud. What is that? Because that ain't water. What is it? No one cares. I put a little Mio. I put a little Mio in the water. And how much caffeine is in that?

There's no caffeine in that. There's no caffeine. What is in it? You can get caffeinated Mio now. Oh, really? It's just a sweetened. It's like it turns it into like a lemonade, basically. But it's like no sugar.

I'm sure it's poison. I don't know what it is. Well, if it doesn't have sugar, yeah, it's probably like aspartine or. It's one of those things where they're like, we use it to clean windows. We also discovered you can drink it. Pretty delicious. Yeah. See you.

Yeah. Yeah, so sorry. I almost died. But the question was, I was like, these Mormons, what's up with them? People like kind of give them shit or like, ooh, Mormons when you hear them. But then every Mormon I meet is super kind, super nice. I'm like, I really like this person. That's how they get you.

And then you read about them. some dastardly stuff there. That's not the whole religion. I'm, you know, people are like, I'm Catholic. And, you know, there's our priests who are doing some. Wiki-wow, wiki-wawa, wiki-waw wild stuff. They're good at it. Pizza, pizza.

Driving from L.A. to San Diego, you drive past that super sick church. It looks like a rocket ship, right? That's a Mormon church, right? Yes, it is. That thing is a banger. It's very cool. And if you're listening, you'll never know what it looks like. But if you're watching, maybe we post it right now.

Post it now. And when did churches go from like just a church? Yes. Or even like it could be an ornate thing that was hundreds of years old, whatever, to now it's got to look like. Seats 500 people maybe. Yeah. Now it's got to look like an absolute spaceship or something fucking insane. And then it has to be the spectacle.

And I mean, I was on a show, The Righteous Gemstones that touched on mega churches. but it feels like every church is a mega church now. Well, Adam, but like, what about like Notre Dame and stuff? Like, those churches are the Sistine Chapel. Those are all churches, aren't they? Yeah. Those are super ornate. But they're not, they don't seat like 20,000 people, though.

Oh, you're just specifically talking capacity. Well, I was talking to it. Yes, I sort of walked it back when I was like, yeah, there are ornate churches, but they're not like this spectacle that, It has to be now that it is, it sits 25,000 people. It's in a basketball stadium, essentially. This is how I know Adam is dying. What are we saying?

That they went from ornate, kind of just regular-sized churches to... Yes, to an absolute basketball stadium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it has nothing to do the architecture. It's just like the size. I think it's population. I think there's more people. Oh, interesting.

I think there's... And you've talked about this before. Go ahead. Over population. I haven't. You think it's just because there's so many more people. They can't open more churches. They have to open larger churches.

Yeah, and you want one big party. I think it's all the almighty dollar. Yeah, I just think it's like it become, it's no longer cool to go to just the church down the street from your house. Interesting. That is, you know, the wooden benches and it kind of smells funky. And then now it's like a cool thing where you wear like a beanie

that's hanging off the side of your head. And you wear like a droopy shirt and you go there and it's like a C&B scene. Like look at you look at your cool shit. Right. What's that? What's that church in L.A., in Hollywood? The one that's like kind of sick and like everybody outside of it. Well, it was right down the street from my house, Mosaic.

Yeah. Right. And they're all hot. It's gone now, dude. It was the craziest. It made me want to go to church. I'd pass on Wednesdays and Sundays and I'm driving. And it's just like all the sexes.

Never went, but. Yeah. Look, I didn't go. Of course not. But there's like dozens and dozens, hundreds of beautiful. Binders. Some of the most beautiful looking people in all the way. Your boots are huge.

Right. Really hot. And it's a different kind of hot because it's like not nighttime skanky hot. It's like sun dress hot where it's like we're wearing our like and but the legs are still out. They still know what they're doing. They're going to hell. Hot, hot, hot.

Yeah, they know what they're doing. It's a different kind of dressing up that's still looking. It's actually good looking people. It's people who look good in daylight, not just... Yeah, it's every hot actor and model who are like from Kansas that are like hanging on to it still. I liked it. It made me... Guess what? They were forced out. Mosaic. Tell me more. They were forced out. By who? Tell me more. Because I think the rent was too high on that corner. And I'm like, that's wild that they couldn't... You don't have to pay taxes or anything if you're a religion, though, right? That's the whole thing is that...

I think you still have to rent if you don't own the building. I don't know church laws. The building. Isn't it, am I crazy? Isn't it a, isn't it a church? Thank you, God. No, it was, it was something else before. Oh, and they just, they rented it.

And then this church moved in and they rented it. And then they couldn't afford it. Damn. Oh my God. We lost one. And here's a conspiracy theory. Oh, my God. What?

I saw online on Instagram or whatever. and someone said like, here's a cool website. It's jmail.com. So instead of Gmail, it's Jmail, and you click on it. And it looks like a Gmail account, but it's all Jeffrey Epstein's emails. And it's like, it says, hi, Jeffrey. And you're able to look at like, and it makes it easy to kind of scroll through all the emails. I thought you're going to say it was like Jesus.

It's for like Christians. And it'll say like from Bill Clinton or from Elon Musk or from Trump or to Trump or whatever. Blake Anderson. And how long did you stay on that site? No, well, I just looked, I just remembered right now, and I was like, let me go to jmail.com, and it redirected me to get this guys, put on my tinfoil hat to CBS.com. Huh? What?

Right. What the fuck? What is that mean? I don't even understand what this happened. What are the dots you're connecting here? What does that mean, dude? because you got to get your boosters. Is this about getting a booster?

Is this about getting booster shots? Is that what this is about? It's redirecting you. Or birthday cards? This is big COVID. Big COVID is everywhere. They got their tentacles. How many times was Fauci and me email?

Wait, let me take this walk with you. So where did you see Jmail.com? That was a porn hub. It was on it, it was on like a reel. It was on a reel. on Instagram or whatever. And I was like, wow. And the real was like if you click on this.

If you go to jmail.com, this is the site. And it's super easy. And then I did it. And it just redirected me to CVS.com. Check the chat. Todd said he went to, he got sent to CIT bank. CIT sounds like sit. Sit on my lap is something Jeffrey Epstein said.

Jeffrey would say. Wake up. Sheepo. Oh my God. Try it, Durs. Try to, see where it takes you. See where it takes you. Jmail.com.

I'm gonna keep my computer quite clean here. I'm not going to type that in. No, just do it. Just type in Jmail.com. What are you doing? Don't be a bitch. No, absolutely not. I will not do that.

Just type it in. I don't want to do. What are you talking? Why not? Well, because A, I'm not in the mood to unpack Jeffrey Epstein emails. And also, I don't want to be re- Gmail.com.

I don't want to look at it. It's cbs.com. Okay. Oh, God. What? Where did it take you? Where did it take you, Durs? No, no, no, no.

Should I be doing this? It just took me somewhere. No. Do it. Do it. So Todd tried it. She said, Todd tried it the second time. It said, are you a human?

I'm not. Or are you to answer? No, I don't do that. Because if it asks if I'm a human, you guys know I can't answer you. No, technically. The second time Todd tried it took him to CVS. Third time it took them to food 52.com, whatever that is. What's food 52.com?

I don't even want to know. Click on it. I don't want to know. I'm not going to click it. Why don't you? It's just a place to like eat food. Yeah. Just like, I don't know. I just don't even know what I, I don't even know why I'm even getting to these websites because you're telling me to.

Something ain't adding up to me. What? Something ain't adding up. What? What? Peer pressure. Peer pressure. What is not adding up to you?

Something. You started all of this saying it was through the, Jeffrey Epstein emails, and now I'm jumping over to CBS, Food 52, City Bank. That's what I'm saying. But why do I need to even have my record of this? Go down the rabbit hole. I'm with you, that's what I'm with you. I don't like rabbit holes.

Dude, you love rabbit holes. You're always going down. Not these ones. How much do you guys really care about like reading them yourselves as opposed to just like, I want headlunks. Waiting for someone who like aggregates it and goes, so here's like the worst parts.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Blam, blam, blam. That's all I want. And that's what I thought this J-Mail.com was. And I'm like, well, it'd be interesting to go like, oh, what was the correspondence between him and whoever, Trump or whoever it is? Sure.

Or Bill Gates sounds like a dog. Bill Gates, that fucking nerd. That total dweed Sounds like an absolute dog Fucking thing sucks More like micro hard Yeah Yeah microsophage is a plan on words

He knows we just do it Yes points That was his dick Yeah micro hard Yeah Microsoft He's like He knows who's doing

He's like I've got a tiny one And it's limp Damn that sucks Sorry Bill you piece of shit God damn Oh you know Bill's a dog too When you're coming out of the windows 69. That's why I'm saying

man, I'm on record. I think historically we should all have to reveal the sizes of our penis because I think it informs a lot of evil decision making. Yeah, I know we've talked about this at length. Yeah, just to you, people have to reveal it to you.

Line them up. Points? Who were they revealing it to? Yes. Yes, points. Thank you. Yeah, to me, yeah, if you guys want to DM me your nude penises so I know where you're coming from. Here we go. So, okay.

So, no, no, no. But this is, you think the smaller the penis, the more evil. I'm just saying, wouldn't it be interesting to know how large Abraham Lincoln's penis was in comparison to Kubla Khan? Right? Who? Who? Is Kubla Khan a person?

Isn't that a person? From Mario Brothers? Maybe. Vangis Khan? I thought there was a Kubla Khan as well. Cobra Khan? Kubla Khan Jr. Hey, what, okay, Cuba, Coobah Gooding Jr.

Omar Gooden? Cuba and Omar. Look up whatever the fuck Blake is talking about it, because he said it with such passion that I was like, well, maybe Kubla Khan. I'm thank you for calling him out on it because I was like. Yes, thank you. Kubla Khan. I knew that was a person. And now I'm looking at the MSTME files. What the hell?

See, the link took you to the Eftine files. What the fuck, dude. See, by the way, the internet's fuck. I hate the internet. It says, oh, all of a sudden I got a security. security alert on my phone. Yeah. My system is under threat.

And that's from clicking on Todd's link right now. Yeah. CublaCon. What the hell? No. Guys, this is weird. What's going on? What's going on here, Todd?

Kubla Khan is a poem. Yeah, that's weird. How the fuck did I... This is so weird. Is that even Todd? Todd, are you there? Are you okay, Todd? What is so weird, Blake?

You have to use more words, buddy. Kubla Khan is a poem. Yes. Why did I think that was like a... historical figure. I don't know. I don't think you're that as smart as you think you are. Yeah.

What the fuck is Kubla? You're right down here with the rest of us, but. I'm just wondering when Kubla Khan was put into my, my brain. Like where this is, it's in Zanadu, Kubla Khan, the poetry foundation. Like, what the fuck is? Were you thinking of GangusCon? Were you thinking of Comic Con? What are we talking?

I'm assuming you were thinking of GangusCon. And then you said Kubla. I did. I thought maybe KublaCon was next in line. And then when you said KublaCon. I was like, oh, this is like from a video game or it's like an Avenger because I don't watch that shit. I'm like, is it that? I don't, dude, I wonder why I know this.

You're making me change the color of my fucking light, dude. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry I said those two words together. I got to switch my whole mode. I truly will have to look at this off pod to six through. What was the point you were trying to make before you said the dumbest thing? No, what was your point? Let's just switch it to Genghis Khan.

I would like to know how big Genghis Khan's dick was. Why was he so, because he was a pretty crazy general sweeping through like Asia, like killing people. And then we're thinking and like on record people are multiple of these victims. We're saying that Jeffrey Epstein had a small egg shaped penis. You need another four inches. So we're thinking is that like the more. The deviled egg. Damn, okay, hold on, let me give you some points.

Yes, points! In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story?

The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy's.

And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.

He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, and different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart-side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside.

This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S.S. officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.

NLP, aka neurolinguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune, and sold it to guys in suits.

He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's my question. So are we saying that, like, people with micropenuses are more likely to be, like, bad guys as opposed to somebody with, like, a real hog? That's what I'm saying. Maybe we could gather the information.

and notice something. The more we talk about it, the more I think it sort of checks out because you have a... Life is harder. Sure, you have self-doubt. Then that, it shakes your confidence. So you don't think there's any nice guys? You don't think it's a 50-50? I don't know.

About who you are as far as your dick size. I don't know. You think that every, not everyone, but let's say the majority of people with small, tiny dicks are like just because they got a bad shake, they're bad guys. There's like a nice guy. I think it's if you have something in you that could be like a crazy, you're a crazy psycho lunatic. This is the thing that's sure. This is the thing that would tip you over.

Because if you got to, if you have just a regular size dick or you're hogging. Yeah. Things are a little easier. Life comes at you a little easier. I know. I know. I know that. Look, it's a fallback plan. Like everything's going bad.

The bank account is a little low. You know, you just got fired. But then you look in the mirror. and you got a freaking anaconda. You're like, hey, it could be worse. It could be worse. Could be worse. But here's my question.

You don't think that a lot of those guys are using it for evil? I think there are those people, too. I think there are evil hoggers as well. I think they're too busy fucking. Too, too evil stuff. What do you mean they? We, we, guys, we, we go to that. I'm talking about us.

We're a little too busy. Like they can, I. They can always, they can just never work because they know they can just call up like Cindy, the manager at the bank on the corner and like crash at her place because she'll be like, I'm about to get some hog. And they develop these patterns where they're just, they're not good guys now. I'm about to get thunderstruck by my boy. Well, I will say my friend, Sean Daddy, who used to live with us, didn't pay rent.

And he was a 40-year-old man who would buy us 40 ounces when we were 19 years old. That's awesome. I've told the stories about Sean Daddy many times. Legend. How was the hog? I'm a dude. He didn't have a place to live. But he was hogging so fucking fiercely that we, that he would like joke about it, about his huge hog.

And we're like, eh, he's a black guy. Like, it might just be like a joke, you know, like. But then he wore sweatpants around you and you're like, Jesus Christ. It is not a joke. I do like how you guys would congregate in the kitchen and be like, it's not a joke. It's not a joke. Did you see his wet pants?

It's not a joke. Jesus Christ. But this is how he had so much confidence that he had any night of the week, he just had a different woman he could head of go spend the night at their house. They would give him some money. They'd be like, give him some walk-around money.

So he's like, yeah, she gave me, she gave me 200 bugs or whatever. And I'm like, this is the way. Walk around money. He fucked this girl so well that she came over to our house and gave us all haircuts. Right. That's how good of a life it is to have a huge dick.

You get free haircuts for you and all of your friends. God damn. And so I guess what I'm saying is like, there's two sides of this where you're like, oh, he's walking around and doing all this stuff, but not really doing anything for himself. But he did get you guys haircut, so he is a good guy. He's a great guy. He gave Dick so good that you had trickled down haircut. It's great.

No, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying is it's, he might have had some problems. Like, he was doing meth, I think. I don't know. You think so? Yeah, I think he might have had some problems. Yeah. But his problems weren't worse because his dick leveled the playing field.

It leveled everything out. That's so cool. Right. I love that there would be a, I'd love that there'd just be random knocks at the door. And it's like, fellas, I'm here to give you a foosball table. Like, what? It's like, your boy dicked me down so well, I would love to. So well.

I work at dick sporting goods and I'm going to give you a food. I would love to deliver you of a foosball table. So here's the flip side of that. So if someone commits a crime and they have a hog and they don't have a small dick, like how do we view this? Like do we give anybody who's got a small dick who commits these sort of crimes? Not a pass, but at least an acknowledgement of understanding of like,

we know where you're coming from. Well, we know. But here's what happens is I think the big dick crimes are different. small-jerk crimes. I think big dick crimes are like, they might have stole a little something. Dunkin. They might have taken a little something that isn't there. Stull some hearts.

You know, I feel like it's something. It's drunk and disorderly because you're at the bars. You're kicking it. You're out with the people. So your dick is out. Oops. Is it? Small dick crime?

That is building a pedophile ring on your private island with weird tunnels. And, you know. That's real small dick energy. That's super small dick. Yeah. And tell you what, Sean Daddy, he's not doing all that. No, he's too busy fucking the woman that comes over and cuts our hair. It's a lot of effort.

Yeah, it's, yeah, there's a lot of, you got to go above and beyond. And when you start going above and beyond and you're planning things out, that's when the shit gets skeevy. Yeah, you become a mastermind. As opposed to letting your dick just take you where you go around the world. I think that's right. I went out, I went out dancing. Fly by the seat of your dick. Flying by the seat of your dick.

You went out dancing one now. You met somebody. Hello. It's over. You did that. As opposed to like, you went out with your tiny dick. No one talked to you. You have to go above and beyond and create all these things.

No one talk to you. You have to plot. Yeah. You have to plot. Yeah. Tell you what big dig gentlemen aren't doing. They're not plotting. We're not.

There's no plot. We aren't. Okay. We, we, we, we, we aren't. Now, we've walked down that path, but here's the inverse. Now when you guys. They can be inverted? Absolutely.

Here's the inverse. Cubla con to you. Cubla con to you. I'm saying Let me show you guys the inverse. When like saying you guys don't have really large, you know, penises, allegedly. Let me just like imagine that. Yeah, imagine yourself.

Allegedly. Maybe you have to develop other sides of your personality. And you actually do become like a very nice guy or you become really funny or you grow your hair long and curly. there's other aspects Right, right, right, right. There's other aspects to your personality besides this big hanging vine between your leg. Yes, Blake, see, I know your dick is small.

Allegedly! But it's not so small that you're going to be a mastermind. It's not that small. There's no way. It's not that small. Right. Hold on. I don't think I've ever seen it, but I've seen you in underwear or speedos and stuff.

Yeah, that's also where I know it's small because I've also never seen it. I've also seen him in some tidy. Whitey's and you're saying there wasn't a lot of junk the garbage man came. I've never seen it. Well, you know, I'm probably more of a, more of a grower not a shower, but sure, sure, sure,

sure, sure. But I mean, yeah, I'm not like suffering. I'm not like sobbing in the mirror. And I don't think you are. I don't think you are. You're not plotting. We don't think of them. You're not plotting. No, no, no. You're not scheming. But maybe that is what I developed to my sense to humor a little bit. Maybe, maybe that. Yeah. Maybe. Why did you guys

become so nice and funny. Nice? I don't think we are. Nice. Interesting. Tough thing. A couple assholes over here.

Funny for sure, because I hung out with only smart people and then they'd be in study groups like and it works like this and you remember that thing and this plus that and the square root of that. And I'd go square root of this and they would laugh and they would laugh. I think Ders and I have the exact same come up. Do not come. Where I was okay at school. Sure. But I wanted to get good girls.

I did want that. But I knew that I wasn't going to be the one to get me there. So what I would do is anytime it's a group situation, I'd be entertain them. They do all the work. Then I do the presentation. I'm the salesman of the group. Oh, like in class, you do the presentation. In the class, I do the big presentation.

Yeah. Because you're not, you're not intimidated by the crowd. Not intimidated. Got the personality. That wasn't even an option. I don't even remember having to present like. Oh, that was always, it was either like you can write. this like 10 page report or you can give a speech about it.

I'm like fucking what are we even talking about it. You can wing it. I have to write a whole thing or I can just have some bullet points. Gorilla ass juice. Have my, have my smarty pants there. Give me some material. I remember getting invited to these study groups and it was, it was like the way it happened just seemed like charity. They'd be like, and you can come. I'd be like, thank you. I'm a dumb ass. All right. I mean, I think at some point I was like, guys, it's okay. Go to Wesleyan or wherever the fuck you're going. I remember my smart friends would have study groups.

And I was like, okay. And I rolled over there thinking we're going to smoke weed and play video games. Who's ready to study? That is not at all what happened. And being so bummed that like now I've like committed like three hours to like hang out and study. that now I'm like, I have to do this studying. I really thought we were going to play video games and smoke weed in the basement. And they knew how to do it.

They were like serious. Like they were good at studying. They were like for real. Yeah. And they'd be like, and also they're going to bring this up. And I was like, how do you guys even know this stuff? And also I was like, who cares? Oh, you hit him with that.

You are so dumb. I'm like, who cares about this? I do like how Adam just gave speeches. And he's like, we're kids. We should just be out there running around free. And they're like, all right. I feel like we're just, I feel like we're describing why kind of our country is going to shit. Like, we have the person who doesn't have the knowledge of the books.

And it just can give the good speeches. There is a power to that. But it's nice when you have a little bit of both. I'm going to hit pause. I'm going to hit pause on good speeches. But go ahead. Yeah. He's just got those bomb speeches.

He could talk for a long time. Sure, sure, sure. Charisma of some sort. Riz. Riz. It's the Riz. What he's good at is saying exactly what he's thinking, and you can tell he means it, and there's something that's uncalculated that people love about it because they're like, he's not

reading a script that someone told them to say. He's saying what he thinks. Yeah. And that's attractive. It's almost terrifying. Like, he might just say the craziest shit in the world, and World War III will start. Yeah. So it's kind of crazy.

People kind of like seeing somebody who's not just an amalgam of things that they're supposed to say that they want, that they think they should say instead of what they probably think. He says exactly what he thinks. When he's talking about like, can we shoot the protesters? People are like, you know, what? You're talking to the guy who's in charge of the military and he has to say you can't. And then there's the bro on the couch like, exactly. Why can't we just shoot that motherfucker? You're like, oh, well, that could get a little weird, wild stuff.

It's wild. But yeah, no good speeches. You were saying good speeches. Go ahead. Yeah. I feel, yes, the people that actually, like Chloe, is so good at studying. It's unbelievable. Yeah.

She went to Columbia, never got to be in her life. Yeah. It's off-putting. When she, like, her grade point average is like a 4.3 or something. I'm like, I don't even know. We talked about this a little just, I think, off-off, off-pot. just how crazy I didn't know you could get better than 4.0. Dude. So I went back home to my high school and gave like a graduation speech that was like just kind of ridiculous, stupid, da-da-da-da.

And I talk about how I graduate a 2.6 GPA, right? That was bad. Perfect. And everyone laughs. I'm like, okay. Well, that was actually the setup to the punchline. But anyway. You lose.

And then, and by the way, I'm in the bottom half of my graduating class, right? Just awful. Just awful. Yeah. Big dick, though. Big dick, though. Yeah, nice dick, though. Then they go, okay, everyone, stand up if you had a 3.5 GPA. And everyone, these half the place stands up. I'm like, Jesus. So no wonder, they laughed.

Then they go, who had a 4.0? Almost as many people stand up. And then they go, who had a 4.5 GPA? And more people than ever stand up. And I'm like, what? How does everybody here? have a 3.5. I don't even understand this. What's the deal? Chloe's is the only one that's real.

School. Well, that, Chloe's was from, you know, university. Decades ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, weren't we coming to the conclusion that school got easier? I think it's way more standardized testing and, like, school, the curve is easier. But I'm like, they want people to get better grades kind of thing. Yeah.

They're like, just, just don't shoot the school. Because there were certain teachers in my high school that did not want you to get good grades. Yeah, I mean, honestly. There was a legit, I think every grade had like a one-to-punch teacher combo where it was like English and social studies, like they were paired up. And there was like the track where people were like, I'm taking them because they're the hardest. And I was like, isn't that a bad idea?

Yeah, what the fuck? Don't you want the easy teacher? And they'd be like, well, I'm going to Northwestern, you fucking dumbass. And I'd go. Oh, okay. Well, their swim team wasn't that fast Yeah, so fuck it. But then they were.

They actually got really fast, actually. But I was like, why would you want to take these hard teachers, but like, they're smart? I could see Ders being, because you are a smart guy, but you are, when you don't understand something. I think it's been covered. Blake, didn't you say you like Donald Trump speeches? Oh, good for you. You get very mad. Was that you in high school?

Were you like, if you were like, this is fucking stupid, then fuck this? No. No, I know that kid. I was just like a... Like if you didn't understand it, were you like... No, no. I think I've told this story before, but like got a math test, sat down, looked it over, wrote my name on it. And after like three minutes, I just walked it to the teacher.

And she was like, how are you done? I'm like, I don't know any of this stuff here. And his dick crew one inch that day. She was like, meet me in the bathroom. No, she was like, just sit down. And like, big dick energy right there. Look at it again. I actually want to see you after class.

I think we could figure out a few of these answers. Work something. She urged me to look at it again. She's like, it'll click. Like, you'll, you'll remember stuff. And I was like, Miss Herbie, I don't get it. I don't know any of this. I don't want to know.

I'm telling you here. Did you not study? Did you not study? I was like not studying. I was not sleeping. Because I was joking, like, I didn't know, but there are kids that were great at studying. I wasn't one of them. No.

But I was a bit of a tryhard where I just absolutely didn't want to get bad grades. Dude, my life was just drawing all through class. That's what I was about to say. And not listening at all. How long was math class? It was like an hour and a half? Two long. Two hours.

How long were these books in? It was three drawings. It was three drawings long. Yeah, but like, yeah, I'm trying to remember. Yeah, there were an hour and a half. Because we went, we moved from like, hour and a half. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, we went from 45 minute classes to an hour and a half long class.

Like, and then you'd do blocks. We were 50 or 52 minutes, 50 or 52 minutes, something like that. Yeah, it was something like that. How long was your guys passing period? Wasn't it wild to punch in, to clock in every single day and not absorb any of the knowledge? Because I'm trying to think, because I was terrible at math too. And I just didn't, like I wasn't getting anything. I wasn't even trying to learn.

it. Like, what the fuck was I doing for 50 minutes? Drawing? Thinking about you were naming wrestlers and shit. You were like, I was not dreaming about Kouplican, dude. I was so bad at math that when I went to our community college, OCC, go pirates. They made me take more math. Yeah. You got to do more. I had to when I got to college.

Just to get to a level. Yeah, but you went to a real college. I went to the community college where they're like, before you come here, you need to take more math. If you're going to come here, you have to take math. I was like, oh, Jesus, I suck. I was just telling Emma the other day, like, when they would write, you'd be in some class where they're like, the teacher just writes the stuff on, like, the projector, and then you just have to, like, take down, and, like, that's how you absorb the notes about the story. I was like, I felt like I was

just writing letters. She was like, what do you mean? I go, I was just, like, going, like, B, B. It was like hieroglyphics for you? Yeah, and then she was like, what do you mean? and I go, it wasn't even words. It was definitely not sentences. I was just copying letters down onto the thing. And so when you looked at my notes, it was mirrored what was up there. It was there. Yeah.

But none of it was ever absorbed as to any concept. And none of it clicked. It didn't make sense. Yeah. What is that teaching style? Is it just they think it's going to- Well, I'll tell you what it is, Blake. Some people can learn that way. They write down the sentences.

And as they download the sentence and they write it out, it's like, it's a better way. of like memorizing it. But you have to already be thinking of it as a sentence, whereas I'm looking up going like be. Just copying. Just copying things. Not not retaining the information. Exactly.

I get that. Those old ass projectors, yeah. And they would just do like sheets upon sheets of words. And you would just copy them down. And it's like, what the fuck? Why not just read it out of a book? Why do we have to write it? But I guess you're saying that that has connective tissue in your brain somewhere.

Yeah. I think even Gillian told me once. I was like, how do you memorize lines? Because I just can't. That's right. Yes. And she was like, I write them down. And I go, okay, cool.

I'll do that. And in my 30s and 40s, it seemed to land a little bit more. But back in the day, when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore. Sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again. Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant lines. And I just sat down with a mini driver. The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men.

Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives. And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people. sleeping in different rooms, on different houses and different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want to chart-side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his

his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty.

But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy. Lettby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult?

NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka neurolinguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted.

The biggest mind game of all, NLP, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, I think the reason I was bad at math is you can't give a speech. Right. There's no, there's no presentation. Well, you wing that.

It's just it don't add up. It don't add up. Don't add up. Not at all. Yeah, you can't talk your way out of math. Math is... And Adam, what did you get for the answer? It's a good question.

Let me speak on that. That's okay. You can sit. We wish you wouldn't. We wish you wouldn't. I have a question. Did you ever memorize your multiplications? tables. Is that something you have in your bag?

Yeah, but that's kind of easy. I think I think I was pretty bad at it, but now you're in? Just being an adult, I know, I know most of them. What's six times eight? What's six times eight? 68, masturbate. Sam, nailed it. Hey, front of the class. This guy's not banging razors. Come on. Gotcha, bitch.

Come on. What six times eight? 68 masturbate? Oh my God. Is it 48? Is it 48? What is it? No. Six times six is 36.

Actually, yeah, I think it is 40. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Literally. I got it. Well done, bro. Well done. No, I am terrible. No. Yes, points.

My daughter has already surpassed me on multiplication tables. Yo, but they're teaching math different now. And what's weird is they're teaching it how I used to imagine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not our fault. Short. You have to show the work. And I go, it doesn't look like how you want it. But the way they do math now is how I would see it in my head to get the answer.

But multiplication tables, that's something you have to do independently. Like, if you're not good on that, you need to go home and do it outside of your homework. You have to know that shit. I feel like most, that's how homework works. You take it at home and you do. What's seven times seven? It's 42. 49?

Yeah, I don't know. Or is it? I think it's 49. It's 49, right? I think it is. I think it's 40. Yeah. Okay.

Got one. Thank God. 68 masturbate. What's negative five? What's negative five times negative five? Negative. I mean, you have kids. You're doing this, dude.

I'm not doing... But, dude, what are we calling each other out? We all said we're so bad at my... I pull crazy shit out of my ass. It's positive. Positive 25? Exactly. Because I'm like, a negative times a negative is a positive.

And I'm like, oh, I'm like, where did that come from? Two negatives make a positive. I know that. Look, I know some of the... rules of math, but as far as like multiplication tables, I never truly lock that in. And I regret that. And there's still time. There's still time.

Well, you had the state capitals. We've covered that. I have those. I have those. Of course. And the state capital of Michigan is? Lancy. I think that's right.

We'll never know. There's no way to tell, but I think that's right. There's no way about it. The capital of Nebraska. Lincoln. Nailed it. Capitol of Iowa. He said Winket.

Vermont. Vermont? Is that Montpellier? I don't know. That doesn't seem like a place in America. I don't know. Vermont. That one's tough. That one's tough. Oh, Todd says it's correct.

Todd's saying, it's correct. I guess you do know them. That's pretty impressive. Thank you. Yeah, what was your that you just, your class that you knew you would just get an A? It's like not even like. Jim. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Big dick. And his dick grew one. that day. Me? Get me on the gymnastics smats and I'm trouble. Donkate. Theater.

I used to love Jim. Jim was the shit. Yeah, Jim was rad. Run a mile. I know that sounds like the cliche answer, but I loved all Jim across the board. Not just like hooping and fucking dodgeball and all that. I love being like,

oh, we're going to like swing from the rings now and like jump off a pommel horse or like do fucking archery. Like, I love that shit. You had archery? Yeah. Your school had a, archery. That is fucking cool. That's sick. That much been sick being medieval times, bro.

Fucking rich-ass school. Badminton? Like, I'm all about it. I want to try it all. We did have fucking, we had like eight gems. We had hella gems. We had a climbing wall. My senior year, they built on. Dude, you're saying palm horse? We did not have a pawn. We had like wrestling mats with that. Everybody's like, there's definitely. Watch you jump this dude. There's ringworm as hell in that. That's what you touch the wrestling mat, you get ringworm. Instant ringworm to clean that shit.

Oh, you couldn't even clean ours. It was part of it. It just became. Well, I mean, obviously, that's a cop-out because everyone's favorite class was a gym. Like, if you're going to take your class. I know, that's why. But I enjoyed the spectrum. You want to, like, kick it with your boys fucking playing a sport or something.

You asked me what I got an A-in. Yeah. Architectural design, I got an A-N because I was into that. Okay. Go off. That's cool. That's a thing. Go off.

That's a thing, Dersie. Learned autocad. Shout out to all my auto catters out there. I mean, I guess I would, that's tough. It all, none of it came easy. And I meant, I'm not saying an elective because obviously I like doing like drama or forensics or. You did cooking. Oh yeah.

Homecats. Yeah. Or photography. Yeah, cooking rocks too. You're just in there making some cookies. You ever take soup? What? Um, you ever take soup class?

You ever take that soup class? I mean, English, but you had to write book reports. I hated writing book reports. You give a speech about that bitch. I like how Adam thinks... Adam thinks everyone had the option. I'm pretty sure they were like, special case situation. Your parents went in and talked about...

He was in a wheelchair. Just let him talk. He was never going to walk again. The teachers met and the math teacher's like, look, straight up. I asked him what six times eight was he said 60. We got to let this boy cook. We got to let him cook. All right.

I do like how the teacher said we got to let him cook and also straight up. We got to let this boy cook. That was the home back teacher saying that. We just got to let him. You have to cook. You have to cook. Thank you. Why?

Wait. So Adam, what was your like you're getting an A for sure class? I mean, it depends the age, obviously. like I loved like American history when we had history class I feel like history always did they ever just

center around US history? I feel English I feel like English class I liked when they would give you a book to read I would like to read but then I would read 40 pages of like the 200 pages and then be like

give me the complete dumbies guy to... Right. The sparks notes. What do they call those? Clif notes? Yeah, the sparks. Yeah. The sparks, cliff notes. Yeah. You give me that and I'll figure it out. I think I told you guys I wrote a report on like this Braveheart book, but I just watched the movie. My teacher was like, you just wrote the scene by scene of the movie.

He's like, this isn't even what the book is about. I was like, I'm like, dude, give me a fucking break, man. This book is big as hell. I'm a dumb ass. It's a big ass. Crazy. school is one big ass book school was like wild dude when Mel Gibson when Mel Gibson had the face paint I was just like I just need to live through this and get out the other side are you like now when you

when you send your kids off to school are you some I cry I go because they're they're getting they're getting older daddy's waiting a little older and they're going to like real school where they actually have to learn shit yeah are you just like what? They're about to go through so much today. And I'm going to do like three hours of a small amount of work. I love my job. And then like kind of bang my head against the wall to like think of some jokes and then be like, well, that was good enough for today.

And then they still have like six hours of learning science. Yeah. Well, you've got to do that. You've got to put in the real work so that when you're not. you get to this level, it's like you really appreciate it. It makes me go like, should I still be like learning science? Yes.

Imagine how much smarter I would be as a person is if I just kept going school and learning. I think we should have to tap back in. I think we should have to go back to school. Just like you re-up. With science, a class that you guys were good at at all? Because I was not. Science and math. I was better at science than math.

Yeah, like when we'd start to learn about like atoms and shit. Yeah, I was into that. I liked it. And biology. Biology always interested me. I don't even remember Blake likes cutting open a little bit.

Yeah. I remember osmosis, not osmosis, meiosis and then the other one. And like the words are basically the same. And I was like, you're fucking with us. You're telling me these two things have basically the same name, but they're different. See, that's the durs that I think you were in high school, where you're like, you're fucking with us. No, this isn't A's plus B.

We'll see. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here. That's not real. That's not real. That's what I imagine you were in high school. I didn't, I didn't, I wasn't, that was always the kid who like, I'm not that, I would just draw. I would just be drawing. Or like, bullshit with my homies. You just didn't care. You just didn't, you were a stoner that didn't actually smoke weed.

Right. Yeah, maybe. That's the vibe that, that I'm getting. Yeah. You know, he just wants to draw. He doesn't smoke weed, but it seems like he should be. I'm just drawing grateful dead bears. And they're like, okay, I think we know what's happening here.

Give me some of your hair. And then they test it and then we go, we don't know what's happening here. Come on, we don't know. Bro, I just had to swim my way out of there, man, off the streets. And then what was, what were you like, Blake? I, you're just the odd little walking fetus. Okay. Who's everybody's friend?

Adam just let him say what you already are saying. I think I was just kind of a class clown. I just was kind of goofing around. Were you class clown? No, I think Kyle won that. Kyle was class clown. Kyle beat you and class clown. Here's the deal.

You could only get one award. That is true. I obviously got best hair. Oh. So that's my story at least. Not to say, you know, Kyle was, it was actually just plain nuts, is what they called it. They didn't call it class clown. Oh, really?

Ours is class clown. Why would they do that? Why reinvent the wheel here? What are we doing? I don't know. Maybe like clown was. like a ming word. Oh, God.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm assuming. I'm assuming. You're like, actually, you know, clowns, that's offensive to people that are clowns. With red noses. It is a real profession. Bollet.

Yeah, I was class clown. I was the same thing between class clown and most likely to make it to the silver screen. And I chose class clown over that. Yeah. Because I won both awards and they were like, well, which one would you want to? The bar low. I'm like, class clown. Yeah, that's a badge of honor.

That's a claim to fame. That's forever. That's for it. Never, dude. You were also a time traveler who knew that the movie industry would be plummet. Yeah. Yeah. But you didn't, you, you weren't trying to give a lot of speeches or what's your deal?

I mostly was at high school trying to find ways to give speeches. I didn't give a lot of speeches. I didn't give speeches until college and speech class. And I got, I kind of got smacked a little. bit because I did treat it sort of like a stand-up routine and the teacher was like... Who hit you? The teacher did not like me.

Teacher hated me. What teacher? What class? Speech class. Oh, speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it took... I was in forensics in high school and forensics is competitive speech. That's where you look for a pubic hair after a murder scene? Absolutely.

Room Raiders. This bro was just watching Room Raiders. Adam kept me like, wait, when do we get to look for the pubs? And they're like, that's not what this is. But I was, I was, there was a dramatic. You had to do a dramatic, a comedic and then an improvisation speech. Dramatic? Cool.

The dramatic I was never good at because I'm all, I'm like just half smiling or like winking through it and people are like laughing. Like faking crying. Yeah. But tell you what, I got, uh, I was two points away in the finals for, from winning the state championship, and then the state championship winner gets to go to New York City

and compete in the national championship. And that same year, Josh Gadd won that national championship. Whoa. And if you think about it, Josh Gad is just a way better version of me. Just speech. Yeah.

You know, like more theatery. More polytory version. Yeah. Just better. Just overall. Speaking of more. overall better. We just did a full circle. Oh, wow.

Speaking of Mormons, great show. My gosh. Is it time for takebacks? I think it's takebacks, apologies, epic slams. I guess I'll take back my reference to... Or double downs? Hmm.

What was that? We discovered a couple new ones. The Kubla Khan, it's really, really bugging me, and I'm going to really dig into it. We forgot about that? We forgot about that? I didn't, because I'm like, what back part of my mind? Where did I hear that? What the fuck?

That's weird when that happens. Yeah, I'm going to have to really dig into that. I hope it's not something super problematic, but we'll see. Should we have Netflix recommendations? Any takebacks or Netflix recommendations? Blake is so worried about being problematic, dude. It's okay. Yeah.

It's all right. I mean, it's fine. But I would like, if I say something out loud, I'd actually like to know what I'm talking about. To know what you're talking about. Yeah. Well, then this podcast, dude, then this podcast, I don't want to be inadvertently offensive. If I'm going to be offensive, I like to know I'm being offensive.

And I don't like to be offensive. You want it to be advert. Advert. Yes, I want to be advert. Thank you. Advert. offensive. Thank you.

I'm going to say that I think this podcast drops when Monarch, Legacy of Monsters, season two drops. So if you don't have Netflix, get Apple TV and check it out. It's a fun, real wild ride. All right. And is, yeah, Monarch, Legacy of Monsters, excited for that, Dearest. That's going to be a fun one. Yeah, you're hot.

If you want to see me play young John Goodman once again, maybe I turn into old John Goodman at some point. Oh, that's going to be on the cruise when this podcast comes out. Oh, my God. We are currently at sea. Remember when I almost died just earlier on this podcast? Yeah, dude, that was crazy. It made the news. You were just excited about the cruise?

That might happen on the cruise. that's how exciting this cruise is going to be. My heart might stop. That's life. I'm actually really, really worried about this cruise. Your heart's going to be like, that's life. We're going to protect you. Don't worry.

Thank you. Thank you. Protect him from who himself? Yeah. Honestly. I want to do a, if you're going on the cruise, you'll be listening to this. I'm going to do a live listening party to this episode. We're all just going to be sitting around.

Oh, that's fun. And I'm going to go. I can't wait to do the J mails. I'm going to go. Hey, you guys, this part's really funny. I can't wait. Maybe we do a drunken commentary of our podcast when it drops on the cruise. I like that.

And then when we listen to this part, it'll be like, me, like, meta. All right, and that's another episode of this. This is an important job. Na na, na, na, na, na.
