Today on this is important? The wheels were all the way off, but they were all the way on as well. Why would I even show up and do my job? I'm going to pretend like I'm drunk, because that's kind of the respect I'm getting. I got to put it on my TV chain.

Buckle up. Yes. Let's see. Let's see. Oh, my God. When I'm feeling. Good Is that true?

Hell yeah Hey guys Welcome back to land Holy smokes Yeah Landho We're on dry land baby Oh my God

Blake I'll say I was I was tone you off pot A second ago But you were really the MVP Of that cruise ship Mm-hmm You really were Oh my gosh

It took a lot out of me It took a lot out of me It was a blast though My God Have you guys Have you guys fully recovered From the cruise We went on

Like fully How long ago Full seven 10 days Yeah I have Yeah, I think we're about seven or ten days. Yeah. Yeah, it took four days, I would say, for me to feel like a real human again.

Real. Because we're old now, right? We're in our 40s. Yes, yes. We're no longer young men. Damn near 50. And I don't drink the way. I'm such a bitch.

I don't drink the way I used to. Come on. And it really, it put me on my heels a little bit. And if you're just listening, Adam's crying. Right. Those hangovers... It's a moment. But you had to start right back up.

That was the trick. That was the trick. Yeah. It was the trick of the cruise. I didn't have a hangover as much as I had like two mornings where I was like, hey, man, you're still drunk. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. We had to ride the line. Well, I did the IV for the first time. I did not like it. I did not like it. Yeah. I skipped. I skipped on that.

See, this is the crazy part is, and I did not part tape because I knew that was a no-no zone. Yeah. And I wasn't feeling well. Admittedly, I was not feeling that well to start the cruise. And so night one, we landed in Tampa. And I was like, I'm just going to chill. You know, I've got my whole family's living with me right now. My parents are living with me.

My, obviously, my wife and my son. So it's just a lot happening over here. Obviously. Not fully obvious. I guess it's not fully. But so I just took the night to myself. You did. I laid in bed.

I watched a film Red scripture I didn't read any scripture unfortunately but then You gotta read scripture And then you guys went out in Tampa and had a full on shots Noite

Yes what was the what was the town we were in Tampa? No no no no no there's a neighborhood No no no no Oh Yibor Ebor Ybor Ybor Ybor But it is with the YBOR

Yes it is Is it Ebor? That's what throws you I think it's Ebor People are saying Eibor And here's why we went there after going to dinner, which is great, and really already kind of getting things kickstarted. And then somebody had a local friend who was like, well, you could go to Ebor, but definitely don't be there after one. And we're like, all right, well, we're going there.

We're going there. Somebody help me. And I think we were there until three or 2.30 or something like that. Oh, yeah. I was so impressed. Because our pickup wasn't until noon to get on the ship. So you guys had plenty of time to recover. Oh, it was awesome.

I'm so glad we went there. It was a true. Wild bar. Yeah. Wild bar. Don't really, the revolution, the revolt. What was it called? It was like Chachaw 2000.

Explain Chow 2000. Explain what that means and explain what the vibes were. I heard a lot of talk about how it was basically, the French quarter in New Orleans. Yeah, yeah. Very similar. We were on our Shia ship for sure. And it's all pirate themed, right? Meets Vegas.

Meets Vegas, I would say. Because people were like actually dressed up. Whereas, like, New Orleans, people look like they might have just crawled out of the bayou. The sewer. So it's like that mentality with just like a little bit more intention. It's still Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's like Miami drainage. It was fucking cool, dude. Like there's lines for clubs and stuff. Right. And were you guys like, hey, what's up? Let me end the club. And they're like, you're old now.

You can't come in this club. No, you didn't go to the place that had the lines. Although, these lines were a little scary for me. Women were naked. Oh, what? Scantily. Like, lad. I don't know how you describe this.

There's a woman in line. wearing like I don't know if you call it like lace or what do you call fishnet fishnet right fishnet I just want to party But the kind of fishnet Full body fishnet suit

But the kind of fishnet suit That is like chain link fence Open Yes You know what I'm saying It looked like Okay So you could see her

And her Butthole So she was wearing just that And then a Like string thong And pasty Pasties up front?

Water trash. And she's just standing in line. And I'm like, you know, I didn't, I didn't look. I saw her from the back standing in line. She should just go in. It's cold out. Let her in, please. Sir.

Did you look over the shoulder to see the front, the front of it as well? You can't do that. You can't do that. But I didn't see a back strap, so I assume it was pasties. It's got to be. Okay. Real detective work. I feel like if she's dressed like that, you can.

You can. Yeah. Sure. because she's not being, she's not dressing like that and she doesn't want people to look at her. Are you, I don't know. I think like, I don't think, I don't know.

I think this is a, yeah, this is, this is an age old. I think this is, yeah, this is why we, this is why we have this podcast. If you're dressed like that, okay, want attention. You want people to look at you. Well, maybe, maybe she's just into style. She's into fashion.

Do you think that's fashionable? If you go to a nude bar, are you going there for people to look at your dick? Or are you going there because that's where you actually feel free of societal norms? You know what? Yeah. These are the questions. I guess, but this wasn't a nude bar, right? This was a clothed bar and she was coming in nude.

This was a clothed, a bar. It was a club. It was a club. Okay. It was a clothed bar. I think most people had had clothed. Yes. So I feel if you're dressed like that, like if a guy is just, if he's there with a borat thong,

he wants people to look at him and be like, oh my God, that guy's wearing a borat thorn. You don't think that's a societal norm? Yeah, that feels like a societal norm. Like at some point, we determined that dudes have to wear just trunks as swimsuits, but maybe it should be more accepted that we wear borat thongs. Right, right, right. I'm not opposed to it. I'm not opposed to, and I'm also not opposed to all women wearing these chain link fence fishnet outfit that, that dirt.

If that's where society goes, I'm all for it. It doesn't seem like that's where society's going. In fact, I think, that's where Tampa's going. That's where Tampa's going. That's why Tampa rocks. Dude, and so then I do think, you know, turning around is one thing. I think it's got, you maybe even have to make it more involved where you turn around and you go, Renee? And then she looks up and you go, sorry, I thought you were somebody I work with.

Enjoy your night. I work with is so funny. Dung-Nay. Because you assume, like, you want her to feel like normal. She's got a job and she's normal. But really, she's out there flapping cheeks. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. You know, because, and maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe she's trying to bucks a societal normal. I think maybe that was her job. Oh, you think she's like a cage dancer. I don't know if a cage dancer is much as. as a prostitute woman of the night. I figured she wouldn't have been in the line if she was hooking. No, no, she wasn't.

Were they just let the hookers in? I feel like the hookers got a standing line like everyone else. I just want to party. No, the hookers are out and walking and they pull guys out of line. They're like, don't come on here. You might be true. But you don't know, maybe she was talking to a guy.

I'll stretch your dollar. Maybe she was talking to a guy in line. And that's what she was doing in the line. We don't know. You know what? We should have talked to Renee. Renee? Why didn't we talk to Renee?

And by the way, it's got to be a name like that. It's got to be a name like that. Renee. Isn't that what the Channel 5 guy did from in New Orleans? Wasn't that his thing before doing Channel 5 news, whatever that is? Just approaching people? Yeah. He just did the Shia LeBuff interview.

He did the Mardi Gras French Quarter. It was French Quarter Confessions. He was all gas, no breaks. Yeah. He used to be like all gas, no breaks. That was like his original. his original channel. And then he started doing deep, deeper dives.

Oh, I thought he was Mardi Gras or French Quarter Confessions. I thought that was the same guy. Yeah, maybe. I don't know, maybe. Maybe our producers can toss us some info in the chat. But he also would go to like crack houses or he would like go on like ride-alongs with gangs and shit,

which was kind of cool. That's kind of cool. We should pivot that. Yeah, it's Quarter Confessions, a YouTube series created by Andrew Calligan during his time as student at Leola Calahan. Aren't you fucking marry him?

Oh, Callahan. Callaghan, right? Callaghan. Yeah. I think that G... Come on, man. That's an Irish name, right? Yeah.

Come on. Yeah. I biffed it, dude. What do you watch for me? Calaghan. Okay, so then you guys had this wild night while I was in bed watching an old James Bond movie. Turns out pretty cool.

No, it was James Bond movie. Did you throw on, dude? Spires show on. Bagmere? It was... Octopus. No, it was one of the newer ones with... I saw Octopus.

With the blonde homie. Oh, Daniel Craig. Yeah, but you said old. Yeah, that's not old. Yeah, it's old. It was like 2015. I was thinking like Doctor... I was thinking of...

Whatever that one was. I forgot. You're 25. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, 2015, that's a long time ago now. We're talking about... Yonder. Yonder.

Years ago. Thunderball. Yeah. Which is nuts. Yeah. But, uh, but... Yeah, so then while you guys know Royal, is that what this is?

Great night. I was eating a Caesar chicken Caesar salad. Duncan! And watching this James Bond movie, pretty good. Yeah. Turns out they're pretty action-packed those James Bond movies. Oh, yeah. They're the best. Dude, what a night.

Yeah. It was fucking, dude, it was sick. I just laid in bed. I put it on a robe. Yeah. Oh, nice. I was busy fighting Atiba and Aco. I thought about taking a bath and then didn't.

Oh, you were, you were, You were about to sit in a bath? Yeah. That's like real, like, luxury. Real, like, solo dad in the hotel room, shit. Like, draw... I was ready, dude. You almost drew a bath, or is it just drawing a bath?

Is there... I think you could drew a bath. Can you drew a bath? Yeah. Draw... Drawn? Drawn? Well, what do you do in the...

In the process of drawing it? Right. You drew it. Right. You drew it. Have you drawn a bath? Have you drawn a bath? Do-doo.

Have you drawn a bath? You've drawn a bath. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I was about to take a bath. Sounds like a bath. Thought better. It's thought better of it.

Because, you know, I feel like nothing against the hotel we're in, I feel like it has to be the nicest hotel in order for you to get into a bath. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. If that makes sense. Yeah. And in fact, yes.

So I didn't. But then the next day, we kicked it off. We got on the ship and then it was full steam ahead. You guys were limping in. Isaac was legit mad at you guys. Isaac was like, fucking idiots. Yeah, he was mad. I was chill.

Yeah. I got the IV. I was like, I had pep in my step. I was ready to go. We were fine. I think you pulled it off. He was mad before you guys came down. Because he was like, yeah, you're the fucking smart one.

They were fucking idiots. They went out, partied all fucking night. Oh, wow. And he was, he was legit bummed. Had to set the toe. Had to set the toe. Punk rock, getting radical. And then it was full steam ahead.

Then we were on the ship. And I will say, thank you to our fans who are the greatest, I cannot believe the support and how cool people were. And because it could have been a nightmare, right? Oh, absolutely. I've talked to other comedian friends and they're like, so you're going to go on a ship with like 2,000 of your biggest fans,

presumably, your biggest fans. and you're stuck on the ship with them and I'm like... And 20 Rando Cruisers who just booked a cruise? Yeah. The old ladies that are just fucking stragglers. 20 people that are like,

ah, we just booked one. But it was awesome. And the vibes were so great. It was fucking sick. Met each and every one of them. We honestly, we did. I think I really did. We were out and about.

I want to say thank you to show up me this nice note. Okay. Thank you, too. She goes, Adam, my Midwestern rotissory loving, sit her down when he pees, brother in swole. You are a star and a night bringer? Light bringer? Light bringer.

It's got to be light bringer. Night bringers. What is a light bringer? I don't know. A lightsaber? Well, like you bring light to people. Oh. Right?

Oh, so maybe she's a hippie. Because night bringer would be like you're like a vampire or something. Night breeder? Nightbreed. Shout out to Nightbring. Okay, maybe a light bringer. I love you so hard, rock hard, underline, luggage talk for life, no takebacks. Please don't ever stop the music.

Love Aaron, aka Darren, which is drunk Aaron. It's science. And then she gave, and I know you guys got this similar necklaces, but this is my favorite. It's actually not a necklace, Adam. It's not a necklace. It's not a necklace, Adam. What is it? It is a belly chain.

It is a belly chain. You're supposed to be wearing that around your belly, bro. Yeah, you're supposed to have that right on your hips. What? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those hips don't lie.

But show the camera what is dang wearing off. My wife hates it because every night when we go to like watch TV as a family, my parents are staying with us now. I say I got to put on my TV chain and then I put this amount. It's a bagel. So there's a penis with a penis. like a cock ring. You're calling it your TV chain?

Does it have a cock ring? Yeah, I think it's a, yeah, it's on the back of it and it goes, root, root, root, oh no. Oh shit, I didn't know that. Oh, dude, I never even pulled the. Oh, wow, dude. That is so. That's worth doing it.

Thank you, Darren, drunk, Darren. She was sweet enough to, we all got one. Mine's in my ass. And then luggage, and then luggage for luggage talk. Whoa. Dude. And look at this. I got this shirt.

Shout out. One of our fans gave me this. I think we all got one. Drink Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. Wisconsin was out and about. Donning that. A lot of mad town.

There was people from all over the place. There were people from Argentina. Australia. Right. Australia. London. A lot of Australians. Several packs of Australians.

Scotland. Was there some Scottish people? Scottish people? Or Ireland. Either Scotland or not. Hey, and I don't want to get between it, but it was either Scotland or Ireland.

I don't know. Some people from Omaha. Oh, yeah. From Omaha, from Omaha, of course. Omaha? Of course. Atlanta. I didn't see anyone from Concord.

Oh, there were definitely some 925. I don't think they were from Concord. I think they were from Antioch. That's close enough. That's close enough. It's not. You know what? Concord is so far from Tampa.

Wait, there were people from Concord, but not Concord, California. I think they were from Concord, uh, May, New Hampshire. That doesn't count even at all. Yeah, so that doesn't, that's not where we're from even a little bit. sister cities. Yeah. I guess so. Yeah.

And then what would you guys say? What would you guys say is your favorite part of the cruise? Hmm. Hmm. I did have fun. I hosted two things, or co-hosted with some other comedians.

I did. Oh, God. I went over to the beer mile. There's like a track on the on the boat. Oh, the Tour de Fronsia. Tour de Fronsia. Yeah, Tour de Fronzie.

They did a Tour de Fronzia, a.k.a. Beer, mile, but wasn't beer's wine because it's a Turofranza. People had to run I think three or four laps, whatever added up to a mile, and slam a glass of wine or a cup of wine every time. So like slam it, run your first. This one dude who won

it was hauling ass. Beautiful body. Okay, okay. And but then, and then the guy who got second, pretty far behind him. But I think the guy who won threw up later. So I just want to be clear about this.

That disqualifies him. Oh, he's a dude who got second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you vomit, you're out. Why is that the case? No, I like that rule, actually. What do you mean? If you can vomit, you can just be vomiting the whole time.

You didn't keep it down. You didn't keep it down. But you might as well not run the mile also. You got to drink it and keep it down. And then you win for seven days. Yeah! You can't go for seven days. And I'm just looking it up in an IOC rules.

But that was great. And then also the belly flop contest. The belly flop contest. I missed. I said I was going to go to it. And then I missed it like a fucking fool. It went from like, it went from like people with just amazing talent to a few guys and gals jumping in feet first for some reason.

Okay. Yeah. Just to say they were there. No, where everyone watching is like, stop. They did the pencil. What? Like holding their nose. See, what I.

What I used to pride myself on in my youth was my ability to belly flop off very high platforms. I could belly flop off a roof into a pool. I could belly flop off the high dive over and over. I would do a flip and then belly flop. So you really whack into it. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

And it was painful, but it was worth it. But this was just you're jumping off the side of the pool, essentially. wasn't a real platform there. I think like, you know, legally or whatever, they couldn't really do anything too crazy. Because there was a... People would kill themselves. There was like a balcony above.

That would have been sick. And they were told like no flipping, no like whatevering. Kind of neat. You just had to jump up. But this one dude, big guy. Also, big gay. Had hops. Got up and then just came down super hard.

Very impressive. Did he win? He won, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I saw the photo of him. It's like actually. epic photo. Like his form is insane. It's like Olympic look. It's crazy. Yeah. And I feel like in order

to win a belly flop competition, you got to be a big guy. You do. You have to have a mass. No, no, so this was a big guy. This was not an obese guy. Plenty of them. Plenty of big old boys is what I call those. Sure. Yeah. They're big old boys.

Not big man. They're big old boys. We know the difference. Boss hogs. Who was the arm wrestling champion? What was his name again? Do you remember? That's a big man. What was it? He had a really big man. Declan or something?

I thought it was... Gage. Gage. Oh, Gage. Strongest guy on the boat. I played Blackjack with Gage. Gage was the main. Oh, yeah.

Shout out to Gage, man. Gage, let's describe Gage real quick. Gage looks like the guy on the farm who, like, designed the equipment. You're a monster. Yeah. But also can throw a hay bale on his back. Yeah, he's a human tractor. Right.

He is a human tractor. Yeah. Big, beefy. He's the guy on the site who has like that hardcore laptop. You know those like tough guy laptops that have like... You know, when they do the commercials for Ford F-150s and they're like the laptop station, it's for that guy. It's for that guy. This is gay.

Everyone else is like, why don't I'm not going to grab a laptop station right here and it's for Gage. His name is Gage. I don't even think that's a nickname. I think his parents named him Gage. Yeah, that's a real name. That's a real name. Pet Cemetery. I've never met a Gage in my life.

The best thing, oh, by the way, this pen is from the Haven. That was our little zone. Our little kick-it zone. Oh, shit. Flex on. Baby Nuch was second place in the arm wrestling competition. That is pretty big time. And who is Baby Nuch to...

To the listeners slash viewers. That is Kyle Neuechek, who he used to be part of the podcast. See ya. It is his brother. Yes. We all love... More... More than...

Kyle, yes. He shows up to the cruise, to the crews. Yes. Which we would have loved. His girlfriend was a stand-up. Yes. Stelling. Very funny.

Beth Stelling. Very, very funny. Good singer, good singer. You know Roll Dahl, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been.

Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Dahl, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true.

I'm telling you, the guy was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids.

The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Marsh Madness is here. And if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people

are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On flagrant and funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament,

we got you. Listen to Flakran and Funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control. Okay.

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 life. 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 a chart-side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected.

My parents both were chugging Yeagermeister, which was crazy.

That shit's important. Your mom's tagline kept being like, don't touch the poop. That would be fucking unbreakable. That would be her. I said, you better kick those. I said you better kick Just keep those burgers cooking and don't touch the poo. And don't touch the poo. Give a fucking trip, dude. I would say the, I did not expect to get emotional at all. Yeah. But I got truly misty-eyed when we were in the theater watching office camp out.

And there's the theater's behind us. And there's, you know, the theater is packed. And it's us just doing commentary over the episodes. Yeah. And everyone's cheering every time a new character is introduced. And it was, it's truly incredible what that show meant to people. And, yeah, it sent me, dude. I was like.

I can't wait for my parents to watch it. They're not going to, dude. They're going to love it. I think as soon as they do, they'll be like, oh, cool. Nice. We'll do it live! Oh, okay. That was surreal, though.

I haven't watched those episodes in so long. Like, it's crazy. And they had it on, I don't know if you turn on your televisions in your room, but they had them on just 24-7. Stream them. The first two episodes were just streamed over and over and over. Perfect, perfect casting. Oh my God. Perfect.

Perfect casting. Dude, and it's so great that like Jetshead and Weyman and Homegirl and like a lot of our background. Talent, who then we gave lines to and made stars. Yes. We're there from the jump. It was so cool. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean... Was Bill our only late edition? I know Bill came on as an actor. Not necessarily a background actor, but Bill was kind of like... But that wasn't that late. That was still season one. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

But I don't think he was there since John. Wayman is the only person who was there since like... Dude, he was in... Wayway. Wayman... O.G. videos. Was in the old videos. Back in the day, the fifth year videos.

that we made that then sort of became the colonel that became workaholics. Yeah, we found him on Craigslist for like 50 bucks and he rode with us until the freaking wheels fell off. Yeah. RIP, Waman. RIP.

He would have had a blast on the bag. Blazer highlight? You know what? Was it Adam crying? Yeah, I was watching Adam cry while he ate a cheeseburger in front of every one. While we watched it in an episode. I forgot.

They were like, here's cheeseburgers. And I was like, I was so hungry. I hadn't got to eat today. Yeah. Because it was hard because you just had shit to do all the time. We did. We were, you know, different events to go to. We were busy boys.

We were busy boys. Yeah. And I did have a chance to eat anything. And I was like, can I just get a cheeseburger? And it was so delicious. It hit the spot, huh? Mm-hmm. And brother, we were in the front row.

Who care? It was dark. I was just eating, yeah. You know, a pound of cheeseburger. Like a pounded cheeseburger. Hey, dude. No biggie. No big deal.

No big deal. No big deal. Just pounded a cheeseburger. Blake was embarrassed. He doesn't like to eat them in front of people. I handed mine back. I ate 42, I ate 42 corners of PBMJ that were in the greener. See, I did BLT. Kept coming, going through that green room. And I would just, oh, those BLTs were cracking. I think that besides BLTs, I think the only other thing I ate was pot stickers.

It was pot stickers and BLT. And if you're joining us now, we're just talking about the things we ate on the cruise as we moved around. Okay. So my favorite part, because the pool, the pool was super dope. remember the deep throat competition or whatever when we were reading the ad reads back in the day? It was like, what is the deep throat thing? I don't. Well, it was a competition. I don't know.

I don't even know what you're talking about right now. Yeah. This is on the ship. There was a deep throat competition. You might have had a fever dream, pal. There was something that was like listed as like a deep throat, deep throat dive. And we were all like, oh, that's Isaac. Like, fucking.

He's trying to find some. talent or something. It ended up being fucking cool as hell, dude. What you had to do was like dive down to the bottom of the pool, grab a beer, come back up, chug it, and then get out.

And it was like a timed thing. And then Chad and JT were the ones that were... Oh, also Chad and JT. We... Yeah, they were doing the commentary while people were doing it. It was fucking hilarious. It was so fun.

And people, were going for it. What pool? This was like the back little pool where they did the belly flop? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that like main pool on like the the deck. I did a belly flop in there. My eyes were on fire for like two hours. I don't know what was in that water.

I'm not joking. On fire. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It was piss and come and shit and diarrhea and all that. No, no, no, no, because we would like to do the cruise again. It wasn't piss and shit and coming. Yeah. So that was part of the This is Important Games, right, Blake? Yes, yeah. The deep throat.

Okay, got it. See, because when I showed up, it was just people like playing Cornhole and I didn't make it over that direction. And then it was just doing keg stands. No, yes, no, that was a different time. This was like a separate thing. This was the deep throat dive. It was a sanctioned event. But what you're talking about was like the drinking game.

And you went to that for what, you didn't. know what it was, but you thought, well, I should, I should go to that. I go to that. I like diving. Isaac's like, you got to go this with me, dude. You got it. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. No, it, well, it's people, it was loud and it was right outside my window. I'm like, I'm going to go check it out. It was really, actually very, very

funny. So that was your favorite part. Yes, I did, I did enjoy it immensely. Yeah, that was sick. I also liked my karaoke night. I hosted a karaoke. Yes, that was a black. And that was a fucking banger. I think when we do another cruise, I would say maybe we do that every night. Every night. There should be karaoke every night.

Yeah. Because I feel not enough people were able to get up. For sure. Because it's only two hours long. Yeah. Yeah, I think we joked about it on stage. But like literally, I think you could just make a karaoke cruise. And people would be so stoked.

Mm-hmm. People get fucking juiced. And so you mean a karaoke cruise where karaoke is every night or we're like from 8 a.m. To 4 a.m. All fucking day. All day, dude. What do you mean by karaoke cruise? I think it has to be a certain time, maybe just once a night.

I don't know if it's all karaoke all the time. I'm saying it's for a breakfast show, a lunch show, and a dinner show. Like three karaoke. That might be too much. I do like the idea of a breakfast. I do like the idea of like eating breakfast and just. watching somebody like, I mean, that would be amazing. Yes. That's like a drag

breakfast and you're like, hey now, I'm drunk now. Get your game on, go play. Absolutely. There was some, there was some banger, there was some real talent at the karaoke contest. I will say I was very impressed. It was sick.

What was the most impressive song? This girl did Celine Dion and she Oh, shit. Murdered. And what's like, what's, I was like, What's going to send it? Life will go on. Is that one?

Dude, I don't know. I don't know. It wasn't Titanic, was it? Titanic? No. Was it in French? So, it wasn't in French. She was, I, I honestly, I don't remember what the name of the song was.

But she crushed it. Why can't we even? It's probably if you asked you to. I think it was if you asked me to. If you asked me to. Oh, that's a banger, dude. So get. Selention is.

underrated. Yeah. Stiff person syndrome. When I thought I had stiff person syndrome, I was looking at Celine. But she seems to be doing okay. She like canceled a lot of her tour dates and then has started to pick up some of the dates. She's getting back out. Great ass.

Pre limber to me. Hey, shout out Celine. Okay. Immortal legend. Stiff person. I mean, when she wore that backwards jacket, fucking sick, right? I'm unaware. I'm not sure what you're.

The backwards white suit Do you think Celine Dion was in Criscross? Dude, look it up. She wore like a backwards white suit with a crazy Spy versus spy hat. Oh, yes. Yes, I remember.

Yes. With the open back. If you can help me out with a picture in the chat. Dude, the backward suit. Dude, she's so sick, dude. She showed up to the damn. She looked like the ice queen. She showed up to the damn Grammys

with her suit on backwards and played it off like she meant to do it like my dress it's not the dress it's a suit yeah I'm looking at the photo now I meant I meant to do it and also this hat that she's wearing is fucking Peter Pan's dress up hat it looks like a piece of paper

this is Peter Pan going to a wedding right now it looks like lined paper it looks like she pulled that out of a damn suit suit riot riot dude the 90s were so fucking I miss him I miss him now more than ever I just miss him now more than ever I just miss him now more

ever. The 90th. Legend. Celine Dion is a true. Look at that though. I've never seen that photo. Saline with it. It's actually a good. Pop up these photos when we're talking on the flicks. Please. Much appreciated.

Her hat looks like a paper airplane, dude. It's unreal. I would like to apologize real quick. An early apology to our fans for not being able to show the fans on the cruise ship. I guess we couldn't legally not do that. This is the way. Which sucks. You know what, though?

Half of them called in sick to work. So we don't want to blow up their spot. You guys are safe. Don't worry about it. Dude, everybody was so... Like, you were touching upon it, Adam. But, like, that cruise could have been, like, a fucking nightmare.

But the fact... The people make the cruise. The people on the ship were the reason it fucking rocked. Everybody was so awesome, dude. All the other communities. comedians and other musicians were like, the people here, the fans are super cool, super

good vibe. Nobody was misbehaving. I just want to party. Nobody really crossed a line. I never felt like I was like in danger except when Adam started doing that with his linchworm.

Bro, I didn't know it had motion. No, that's what... But you didn't know it's a belly. Hey, with our fucking powers combined, dude. We could do anything. We figured. things out. Pizza pizza. What a goddamn genius. Everybody was rad, dude. I wonder who like the

drunkenest person on the cruise was. Because remember that dude had the bell? I'm sorry. Wait, what? Bacca. Besides the people we brought. There's no, there's no wondering at all. It was Atiba and Akko. It was our friends, Atiba and Akko. This ship

themselves. I'm drunk now. Old Isaac that we have to get them under the control. They got cut off. It wasn't. six man who was the production company who put put it on who all their people were great and they were the people that you would see running around it was the ship and the ship security

that was like they can't drink anymore now I'm wondering if we do another cruise we want them to come we want them to perform will they be allowed to I was intoxicated will they be allowed well is are they on a hit list for Norwegian Jewel they might they're like

no they're not these these two are not allowed we play the race card if that's the case We go, oh, really? Oh, is it because they're half black? Two of the few black people on the cruise. Can't come back? That's interesting. Let's look into Norway's history.

I also, there was this Asian guy that came up to me. And this was like... And let's talk about everybody by race. Everybody's race. Because we were clocking it. We were definitely clocking it. I'm always clocking races of people. Hey, how are you?

I'm talking about it. How are you white person? Hello. Hello, my Asian friend. Shout out to Fellow White. We also got to We'll circle back,

but we got to talk about jeans. But go ahead. Okay. Got it. So then this Asian guy, it was during the middle of the TII games. And that I think was the drunkest people were. Yeah.

Well, the sun came out. It was a beautiful vibe. It was the nicest day. So everyone's out on the main deck. Right. And we're pounding beers. We're doing beer bongs. We were doing cake stands.

It was sick. And by the way, all of us are 35 to 45. You're all just like clinging on to that part of our youth where we're like, we used to be so cool and we used to party so hard. And this is when we're gonna fucking wave that flag once again. And it felt so good. And this sun was hitting and this, people are pretty sloppy.

And this guy comes and he just goes, hey, I want to let you know, I came on this cruise by myself. This podcast means so much to me. I did not know the show. I started listening to the podcast. He didn't know workaholics. He didn't know workaholics.

And then I went back and watched workaholics. And he goes, I wish I had friends like you guys. Wow. And I want to thank you. And this means so much to me. I don't even party. I don't drink.

I don't do any of this stuff. I don't even party. I'm having a blast. And I mean, and he was sober or he was drunk or what? He was sober. He was sober. He was like, I don't drink.

I don't party. And I just want to let you know how much your podcast means to me and I'm having a blast on the cruise. Because I was like, are you having fun? Yeah. Like, I hope you're having a good time. I was like, are you having a good time?

I just did a 38-second kegstand. Actually, you know. A karaoke. Get a phone. Dude, I tell you what, I am so good at kegstands. I'm so good at Keg stands. You had to like stop because you were hogging the whole cake. Yeah, I was just like, oh, fucking 38.

All right, put me down, I guess. Yeah. I was like, I've had enough. I've had my fail. I remember I did one in Hawaii when we were doing house party in Hawaii, the stand-up show. And it went out like, it was like a minute 20 and people were like bored of counting. And then finally I was like, I don't just put me down. Like it's just, because it's, you're just drinking beer.

And you can just keep drinking beer. Sure. You just keep swallowing. Somebody help me! Yeah. You just keep swallowing and swallowing and swallowing. It's easy to do. I felt like that's when we really got to shine.

Like you were saying, like it was back to the glory days. We were on the deck. We were all just chogging bears with the homies. It was, the vibes were immaculate. Oh, and shotgunny. So many shotgunning. A Teba split his finger open because he kept just. I wish they would have arrested him.

How does he not? not do that every time. He's so elite at putting his thumb through the beer. By the way, we call it renegating. Well, renegating, that's a cool term. I've remembered that term before. He told me how to do it. And the first time he showed me, I did it.

And I was like, oh, I'm going to be able to do this. It was at our house with the dinosaurs on the roof, Blake. And he showed me how. I was like, oh, like this. And I did it. And then I was like, I'm going to be able to do this absolutely. This is going to be your new thing. And then I've never been able to do.

Joe Biden. It's science. Everywhere you go, no matter who you meet. Dude, Joe. And now you can't do it? No, I can't do it. I've tried dozens and dozens of times. And this is the same as using a key, but he just uses his thumb.

Yeah, it's not a strength thing. It's physics for sure. It's a, you have to, it's when the bubble goes, so you tip the can. So this is a Coke, so this won't work. But you tip a can like this, and then it creates an air pocket. And then you're supposed to be able to... And you have to have a little bit of a thumbnail. That would ruin my life.

You do have a little bit of... Yes. I'm a gnar. Yeah. I'm a little bit of a gnar as well. You're saying gnaar. Nah. Yeah.

NAR. Yeah. So Atiba and Akko were elite level drunk, which is very fun. Yeah, dude. I actually, like, approached them. It was like, hey, guys, can you slow down? And then Atiba proceeded to shotgun in my face. I was like, hey, we all have to DJ.

You're DJing in an hour. I'm like, just take it easy from like, if this was at 10 at night, I said, just let's not have another beer until 1.30 on stage. And then we can start to drink again. Bit o'clocking for work. Yes.

So when I did karaoke, it started at 1230, right? Yeah. So it was, you know, it's not early. It's past daddy's bedtime. Honestly, dude. I go to bed at like 10. PM now. I'm like, such an old fucking man. And so

I was like, oh, fuck it. And by the time, it was like 11, and I'd been drinking all day, and I'm like, I have to stop. You start to draw bath. I have to bridge the gap where you want to stop drinking, but then if you fully stop, oh, you shut down. Then all of a sudden

you start to get tired. Yeah, the power down. So then I'm like, I'm like drinking a red bowl. I'm drinking a soda. Yeah. And then I was like, okay, here's what I want to do. Just a splash of rum. Oh, yeah. Not a whole drink.

Not a whole drink. Just enough to keep daddy going. Keep it jiggling. It felt good. It felt good to just be back in those days when we were just, when we were full-blown alcoholics and we were just living in the workaholics house. And it was expected and it was encouraged. And we never got to grow up.

How great was that? Yeah. It's really, yeah, we had to, everything we learned in college we used on the cruise ship. That's right. That is true. It's like a final little skill. I took Adderall. Okay.

I'm not prescribed Adderall. Was this from the Pharmaccio? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A friend of ours, so it's not like a random person. A friend of ours, I was struggling. I'm like, so tired. I was like, dude, I could just go to bed. And they were like, doing it at arboral?

And I'm like, give you a little one. And by the way, tell you what, I went, did it work? Did it work? Yeah. What was your guys like, what was your guys like, did you, not that I had like a pattern that I was trying to stick to, but like after five beers, I was like, I need like a seltzer to just kind of hit reset here, get that little out of my mouth or then just do like

a jack and coke or then get one of those like mixed slushy drinks that tastes like a peanut colada type thing. Do you guys have a... This is me when the Adderall hits. Shwing. Does it make your dick hard? I soon figured out that like being like, what would you call? Like in the haven, like kind of like the artist area.

Like I stopped drinking there because I realized when we would go out like amongst everybody, we're going to catch like stray shots and beers like that. Oh, interesting. That's where I... See, that was an elite level move. I did not do that. I liked drinking in the have. and I like to relax back there

and have a cocktail or two. And a pot sticker. The pot stickers were hot. I just said no to shots. Treat yourself to some beef Wellington. When they pulled out the beef Wellington, I'm like, Jesus Christ, I was like, dude, what if my, you really want me to take a fucking nap right now, don't you?

Hey, shout out to Jeans. I said I'd bring him up again. Jeans, he was like my boy. He was my guy. He was my confidant. I don't know who jeans. I don't know either. You guys didn't know Jean.

Maybe Jeans was just like my personal, like, homie. So on the cruise, we were given butlers. Okay, so you got to use more words. Your personal, oh, was it a butler or? I think he was. Yeah, we had like a person that attended to each of us. He was amazing. So you had jeans.

Yes, which I was like, his name was literally jeans. I'm like, did you just pick the most American thing possible and say that's my name? Yes. Because he was from, like, the Philippines. He was from the Philippines. A lot of those guys are from the Philippines. By the way, dude, I've never felt like more of a celebrity walking through the bowels of the ship.

Oh my God. They loved you. Whenever we had to like walk through the like underground of the ship to get to a different part. Oh, yeah. The kitchen. Bro. And the kitchen or whatever. Because in the Philippines and I think like that whole area,

Indonesia. They love Indonesia. They love pitch perfect. It's the biggest shit to them. So I'd walk through and then be like, where's fat Amy? Where's fat Amy? They did not give a fuck about me or dirt.

It was like when you were coming through, it was like roll out the red carpet. It was fucking crazy. I wanted to put a backward suit on and just strut through. Like I'm Celine, motherfucking deep. A paper airplane on your head, dude. God damn, bro. The next cruise, the next cruise I don't even go up and mix with the people.

I'm just in the bus. balls of the ship, just making sandwiches and dyes. Doing a script read. Doing a karaoke competition. Please don't stop the music. Fuck it. You know Roll Doll, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy?

Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either.

Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever?

and what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote.

I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back. to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger

to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much. I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Wag Agetten change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

One day at Cozumel, if you got off the boat. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, I could have stayed at Cozumel for three days. I fucking love Mexico, dude. Mexico is so... Mexico's the best. And also they were...

It was the... The cartel, all the cartel shit had just happened where they had caught the big cartel boss. And so then the cartel was... I didn't catch them. I think they killed them, bro. Oh, they killed him. Yeah.

They caught them. Then... So then the cartel, who by the way is fully militarized... Yeah. They're like... Have their own army. Then they started like bombing shit and blowing stuff up and killing people.

Allegedly! My family's hitting me up being like Should you leave the ship But my sister's boyfriend Is a Mexican man And he As we stated Adam She said Adam knows what everyone is

And he categorizes I have to I have to know Well he was like He was like That's on the other side of the country We don't have to worry about it And Cozumel

It's an island And I'm like okay All right Oh yeah That's cool But then we got to send your frogs And we broke down With the cartel super hard

Dude they were sick Shots. I didn't even get a hang out with you guys because my family's there and, you know, they're like, hey, come have dinner with us. I'm like, yeah, okay. Yeah, you blew it. I know. But, I mean, it was fun.

But then my sister's boyfriend, he's like, I have, he's like a foodie and he's like, I know exactly where to take you for dinner. And we're like, senior frogs. Sick. Yeah. No, he takes us to an Italian restaurant, which was actually very good, but an Italian restaurant, when you're in Cozumel and you're there for an afternoon,

you don't want to go to an Italian restaurant. No. The cause of diarrhea. And then the Italian restaurant is called Guidos. What the hell? And I'm like, how I'm like not? I'm like, offensive.

But the food was good, but I was like, man, I just wanted a fucking taco, honestly. Damn. So are you kind of beefing with your sister's dude or what? Uh-huh. Yeah, he's dead to him. Yeah, I'm salty. I'm a little salty.

Damn, yeah. Hey, well, shout out to him. Like, that was literally the first time all of us met him and it was on the cruise. That's like, that's kind of elite. To roll like that and meet us on the cruise? Oh, come on. Elite. Well, I understand what I know Blake's using.

We're very protective, very protective. Well, Blake's using like a teenage, like terminology. Now he explains things. This is all I know. But, yes, we never grew up, like I stated earlier. Had he met your family before? No, he had not met my parents. He had not met me.

So that's kind of the thing that you mean. That's elite. And also like to go into the chaos that is. You said us. You said us, Blake. We are family. Yes, you guys. Copy that.

Copy that. My son calls you Uncle Ders and Uncle Blake. Sorry. I love it. I thought we were work friends. Forget it. No, man. We're family, bud.

We're family. You keep saying that for years that we're just work friends. Okay. We're not Ders. Okay. Oh. Go on, man. But it was trial by fire.

It was fucking wild to. And I don't even know. I don't think. My sister on purpose dates people that are not fans of mine. Because she has in the past. And then when people find out that I'm her brother and then they're a fan, it's weird for her. Which I totally understand. Totally.

And so I think this guy, I think he wasn't a fan. and didn't really know. And then to go on the ship. And then he goes on to the ship. Yeah. It had to have been a shock. Just bizarre. Just a bizarre world.

Yeah. Please stop the music. He's like, he kept screaming that. Please stop the music. And then the last night, so we have a little artist haven. And it's getting late. And we all like, I didn't want to go to bed. It's like one or two.

I don't want it to end. Yeah. Honestly. And like, we're, I'm still drinking, even though I'm, I know that we have to get off the ship in like five hours. Oh, yeah. Thank God for Nick Swartson because he was like the morning up, he's like, just so you know, they don't fuck around.

Like, when it's time to go, it's time to go. Yeah, he was digging his thumb into my shoulder when he said that. And I was like, okay, all right. And Nick is, shout out to Nick, who is sober now. I think it's been about a year. But to go on that cruise, that is very... And outdrink, all of us. Yeah.

That is very booze heavy And stay fully sober That was a very impressive I was like Dude we don't need We don't need him falling off the wagon And it's all of our faults That would really really suck

But he was He was fucking great But that last night We're there And then it was the saxophonist I think from the goddamn comedy jam Shout out to Josh Adam Myers And every Peterson

Who or Pearson Every Pearson Who from the goddamn comedy jam They rocked it. I just want to party. They rocked it. And flashback heart attack as well was our other band. Both the bands were rad.

They were rocking. But the saxophone player from that band, who I don't know his name, who was sloshed. He doesn't have one. He just came into the Haven area, which is the artist area, and just started like rocking the saxophone. So just to set the scene here, people are mingling. We're all hanging out. We're kind of all off the clock now. We're done.

We're kind of saying goodbyes and, like, bang. and whatever. And someone's got a Bluetooth speaker. Music's playing. We're all hanging out. And the saxophone guy is just kind of doing saxophone to whatever song is playing. It's like, glycerine. Don't let a day's go by.

If you've never heard glycerine with a sax solo, it actually works. If you're hammered and you've had buzz balls, it sounds really good. And no one is like, yeah, sax man. And sax man's not like, hey, by the way, really good to meet you. No, he doesn't speak. He's communicating by saxophone. By sax. He's not having any conversations.

I never heard his voice. He laid in the chair and you'd see him like kind of doze off. And then he'd like kind of come back to and just start ripping again on the sacks. It was the best. It was the best. So big shout out to that guy. The sax man. And the amount of buzz balls that we had on the ship.

was absurd. And no one drank. No one drank them. It was just Blake. Oh yeah, all the buzz balls that were set out in like the artist area back there because there were a ton.

Oh, yeah. Okay, I thought you were talking about the ones we tossed to the fans. I was about to say, they got some takebacks and apologies. No,

no, no, I'm sure if you catch a buzz ball, you get a buzz ball for sure. The, I think it was the first night we indulged in buzz balls like a few of us in the Haven.

Yeah, that was like the ice- and Atiba who got the drunken stuff. This is Blake in the bathroom in the mirror. Blake in the mirror. And jeans, me and jeans. Yeah, I bet. No, baby new Chad won.

Baby new Chad one. I'm so bad at using a concierge or a butler. Anytime I'm ever, you know, if you're staying at a really nice hotel, they give you like a, they're like, this is your personalized butler. I'm like, what am I going to use this guy for? Yeah, I just like, I guess we just take shots together. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, I didn't know.

My guy, his name was Parvich, I believe. I had two. Parvish and then Navine. Parvisha and Navine. Didn't use either of them once. I had him walk on my back. And you could just talk to them. You could just talk to them and go.

Yeah, I just broed down with jeans. No one laughed at my jokes on the pod. And then he's like, that's okay. You were very funny. I'm like, thank you. No, I laughed at your jokes. That's amazing. You wouldn't, you don't kiss me, you asshole.

I would not kiss you, dude. There's a picture of us not kissing that looks like we're about to. And I like to think that that's the story it tells is that we definitely did kiss and that you think about it often. You know what? You know what I didn't. Well, here's why. I know why. Because I wasn't feeling good.

Kind of the whole trip. Yeah. I would have every other day. I would have an odd day. Which kind of suck. So, like, it was the day we got into Tampa, I was like, I'm not feeling that good. I should just sleep. So I slept.

And then I'm also not sleeping very much. I'm like, I'm afraid I had made a little cold or something. And then I kissed you. I kissed you, Blake, because you wanted me to kiss you. You made him. And then I turned to Durs, and then I was like, I don't want to get, I already got Blake sick. Do I get Ders sick too? And then I bailed.

I'm still sick. Oh, yeah. I probably gave you whatever Nora virus. Adam, I hate to tell you, you might have not given me a cold, but you broke my heart. Ah. Son of my mom. Which is worse.

Fuck it. That is worse. That's life. Today's takebacks, apologies, and epic slams are brought to you by Simple Mills. Blake, I am so sorry. I said your hair looked crazy today. It is not like me to be so callous with my words. It's okay, man.

you really hurt my feelings there. You know my hair is my pride and joy. Guys, guys, guys, let's get into the real reason you're acting out. You're clearly hangary. No, you're right. You're right. I could use a snack right now, Dersie. Well, have you guys heard of Simple Mills? They have incredible snacks, including almond flour crackers and some pop-ums, which are the popable, munchable snacks that's cheesy, light, airy and secretly packed with wholesome veggies. You're right, Anders. These are delicious.

We got to have more of these around. Hey, Blake, dare we say, they're an epic snack. Yeah, let's do that. Okay, guys, this segment is officially called Takebacks Apologies and Epic Snacks. Find Simple Mills at your grocery store. Now, where was my box? I had them somewhere.

Anything we didn't cover about the cruise? I mean, do we even... There's so much. We cannot, or we can, talk about TK. Oh, yeah. TK. TK. Absolute weapon on the boat.

Sure. Weapon of destruction? What are we talking about? Drake McFadden. Drake McFadden. He was fading. So, Kyle's on the cruise. And the way it works with the Wizards is that if we're not there, they're kind of like, well, then why

would I even show up? Why would they even show up? Right. And so it gets, it's really touch and go. They already don't like us. They just respect us and think that we're like a big deal down here. Do not tell them. Yeah, don't let them know. Fuck it. So, so Kyle's friend,

old Toby was like, I'm not coming. Fuck this shit. So. Yeah. We needed someone to wrap old Toby's part. So we invited T.K. Who knows Sir Drake McFadham? Who knows Sir Drake McFadham? From the realm. Right. So then Sir Drake McFadden showed up. And we invited him how long

ago? How long ago? Months ago. Months. Months. Well, Isaac was giving a lot of pushback. Isaac was giving a lot of pushback. And Blake really pushing. He was like, T.K.'s going to come. That means Sir Drake McFadden will show, well, it'll come through the portal. And he's going to nail old Toby's rap. I'm going to go. He's going to nail it without a doubt.

And the way it works is that if TK gets drunk, Sir Drake McFadden's like, why would I even show up and do my job I'm gonna pretend like I'm drunk because that's kind of the respect I'm getting. It's like E.T. Yeah. And then Sir Drake McFadden

Absolutely butcher the wizard rap. I heard the Wizards had a plan to actually do three tracks. Yes. They were gonna do three. The Wizards were gonna unveil three songs, which would have been legendary on the cruise. Unreal.

But then Sir Dr. Drake McFade didn't know. Didn't know any of them. Any of them. And he just sort of... And the mall spellswell knew his shit, too. He was raring to go. Yeah. And he didn't...

He was raried. And he didn't even... He had months to prepare. Months. And he's just sort of used it as a free vacation for himself. Yes. Because T.K. was brought on the cruise as talent. Yeah, he was.

He was. Because it's contractually, that's just the way it works with the realm. And I can't get into... I know it's kind of ruining our story. No, no. No, no, no, no. That it all tracks. I don't want to get two inside baseball.

And as a takeback, I will not take back inviting TK. I thought he was an excellent presence on the ship. He absolutely. Yeah, of course. I'm just disappointed in Sir Drake McFade. Sir Drake McFade and kind of dropped the ball. Sir Drake McFaded. Yeah, I will say that.

But TK, he brought the thunder. He wrestled a lot. Pickleball? We won the pickleball championship, so we did, we did stand by that. Yeah. What, you and him won the pickleball championship? Yeah, yeah, we stood on business. Oh my God. That's great. That's great. Thank you. Oh, my God.

Thank you. Thank you. You know what? I wish I would have got out of the bath. I would have, if we did another cruise, I'm going to do it a lot differently. I'm going to game playing it a lot. I felt like I came in a little flat-footed and I wouldn't, I would have known exactly what to do. the fact that I didn't have a beer chugging competition because I am It's science Pretty elite

But there has to be someone that could Let me get this right Next time you're on a cruise You need something that you will win Well, Blake's doing pickleball You're like I didn't win anything This is crazy No no no I think people like to do beer chug competitions

Of course You could have gone to the arm wrestling competition You might have put up numbers No, you're not being engaged. You're not being engaged. I'm not good. I'm not good. My arms aren't long enough. It's all about you have to have long arm.

The lever. The leverty, Lordy. Because it's not about this. Here we go. Gage would have buried you. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Because he's got a long arm.

I think jeans could be you. Okay. Technique. Well, fucking Navine's going to kick your ass. I can't believe no one went overboard. Like, that's true. Crazy to me. Shout out to no deaths. Nobody got left in Mexico, to my knowledge. No even hurts, I think. Yeah, no real injuries except for Atiba's finger when he split it open.

Andy fell DJing and cut himself on the face or scraped himself. The wheels were all the way off, but they were all the way on as well. It was perfect. It was perfect. Love the cruise. Should we do one every two years, every year and a half? Two years. Give me two. Give me two. Give me two. Give me two. Give me two. Yeah. Because I legit, I do still have like the sea legs. Like, I still feel like I. That's crazy.

You guys said that? Oh, that's my take back. That's my take back. It's a syndrome. Dramamine from day one. I didn't do Dramamine the first day. And I fucking bombed. We were bartending and I had to literally go to the security who, where's the closest bathroom.

And I barfed and needed an hour to like reset and that end of my night. See, I barfed right before the bartending and it set me right. I did not barf, but I also did dromamine. every day. The first two days, but I was so tired. Remember how I was just like, I'm so fucking tired.

You thought you had COVID. You were telling us you had COVID. I did. I was like, I might have hung up on COVID or something. Because, well, also, like, I'm just going through a bout of insomnia. So, like, one day I'll sleep.

For 20 years. 15 hours. And, like, security was really worried about me. Yeah, yeah. And then the next night, I slept for four. And then the next night I slept for, like, a regular amount of time. time and then the next time I slept for four.

So I'm pissed now. So I was just all the fuck over the place. I didn't have the sea legs thing for more than a day. I think the next day I had it and then the day after that I was grounded. I truly, if I sit down and I read, I feel like I'm still on the boat. But Dromime makes you tired. So I thought I was like, oh, maybe if I stopped taking it. And I do think it helped.

I think I was just so fucking tired because I'm on the drama mean. They do have it less drowsy. dromamine so that's adderall yeah that's i think there's also probably something if you take dramamine and drink 40 beers in a day it's it's not recommended i think that you get tired yeah maybe that's it fucking disaster my guy i doubt it funny on that way but that was a legendary trip boys i'm such a blast i'm so happy that we get to do this um all these years later and we still get to and the fans showed up and they showed the fuck out and everybody had a blast. They rocked.

It makes me feel like the next cruise, all those people are coming back. It's going to be even crazier because we all know what we're getting ourselves into now. And I'm so excited. There will be dead. And I think it comes down to when people were like, like the other comedians and musicians were like, I can't believe you guys still have these fans and all that. And I was like, well, it doesn't hurt that we still like each other and hang out and see this, right?

Yes. Yes. Kyle's dead. Kyle's dead. But I'm like, the reason it still works is because like we still kick it. Yeah. We're still homies. I love you guys. I love you guys. I love you guys. I really do love you guys. It's great. Working with you guys is

just... I love you. You're my favorite work friend. I love you, dude. You're my favorite work friend. What are we just tricking each other off? Get the thing. Get the thing. Pull the chain, bro.
