Welcome to This Is Important, a production of IHeart Radio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important.
Today on This Is Important.
If you're not mentioned in the files, you're a loser.
I bet Goofy just walks around in a towel, dude, with his fucking hammer.
Life's hard, dude. Stay hard.
Let's go.
Kumbaya.
What, what, what, what, what.
Go a man.
Go ahead.
Fuck it.
We'll do it in life.
Kumbaya.
That is my favorite addition to the soundboard.
Kumbaya.
It's pretty powerful.
It doesn't sound real.
It sounds like a voiceover actor.
Yeah, your dad's good, man.
Kumbaya.
He could do it, right?
Hilled it.
Stuck the landing with it.
Has you thought about hooking him up with a voice?
Agent?
Agent?
Well, it would be a very specific.
voice are listening for.
Isn't that good?
Yeah, but I mean...
Kumbaya.
Yeah, I mean, with that voice, you're selling anything, dude.
A new pickup truck?
A lot of anti-smoking campaigns.
A lot of anti-smoking campaigns.
It would mostly be monster jam.
Wherever the current monster jam is, he's hyping it up.
Coming to the Anaheim pod.
Yeah, coming to the Angel Stadium.
What's the one that the girls like, sparkly?
Sparkle something?
the one monster truck that's just like sparkles.
Oh, well, I remember Medusa.
Medusa was kind of the OG.
She was like a pink monster truck.
She was fired, dude.
Medusa was the OG.
Fucking Bigfoot was the OG dog.
And Grave-Digger.
No, I'm talking OG female driver was Medusa.
Oh, newsflash.
Bigfoot was actually a lady.
What?
Tumbaya.
All Sasquatches are female.
You didn't know that?
No, wait, Bigfoot was a girl?
Oh, yeah.
She had a huge clit hanging off the back.
No.
Dad, no.
Those tires were tithies, bro.
You didn't know that?
Bigfoot monster truck had a clit hanging off the back, like where the, like truck nuts would be?
Yes.
Damn.
It came before truck nuts.
Somebody was like, what if we made those nuts?
It came all right.
It came all right.
Do not come.
Have you guys been to Monster Jam?
Of course, bitch.
What do you think?
I would love...
I think we missed it.
I think we missed Monster Jam.
I think it was just in Orange County,
and then I think it was just in L.A. County,
so we missed it.
You lose.
Those are the two counties at him.
I ain't leaving.
Well, I mean, are you traveling to go see Monster Jam?
I'm not.
I'm going to stick within a county or two.
If I drove to Santa Barbara County,
that'd be about as far as you drive to L.A. County from Orange County.
It would be...
It's much further.
It's much further.
I go to Santa Barbara County all the time,
and it's an hour away.
Oh, is it?
Okay, but what if you followed Monster Jam, like, Grateful Dead?
Like, you were just, like, at every monster.
Well, if you called me, if we talked more, you'd find out that I do.
That's fucking cool, dude.
Yeah.
The monster truck I was looking for was Sparkle Smash.
Sparkle Smash is the new star on the scene that all the kids are into.
I am unaware of Sparkle Smash.
How did Sparkle Smash get on your radar?
I don't know.
Because he's a fucking Hollywood elite.
Whoa, Sparkle Smatch is sick, dude.
It's a unicorn.
Why would that have anything to do with my eliteness, dude?
I'll let you answer that question.
Yeah, I mean, it's a unicorn.
He's in the files.
No, no, you're in the files, motherfucker.
You're in the files.
Interesting.
You will talk about files? You're in the fucking files.
Mommy, daddy, stop him, please.
Oh, dude, I wish I was in the files.
What?
What?
We've been over this.
If you're not men,
mentioned in the files, you're a loser.
You're a loser, dude.
You're a nobody.
If you're a rich, we're not rich enough, we're not elite enough.
There's no way we're in the files.
Okay.
Like, there's plenty of people who didn't do anything damning or gross or illegal that are in the files.
And they're like, kind of sick.
What the fuck?
Yeah, I don't know if they like it.
No, no, no, no.
Deep down, if you're in the files, if you were affiliated, you're like, I guess I'm everywhere, huh?
Damn.
And I don't know if you could tell, but.
You know what? I'm starting to look at
and I hate
and I hate to get off the files and back on
to Monster Jam, but there's a lot of...
There's a lot of Monster trucks I've never even
heard of. El Toro.
Who's Bailey Circuit? It's like a dog?
Well, dude, Blake, you probably haven't looked
at Monster trucks.
Don't. You have two girls.
This is the guy who said, of course, when I asked
if they've been, he's like, oh, do-gul-d-d-do.
Oh, what? Girls can't like Monster trucks?
Get the fuck out of you.
Man.
Well, no, yeah, you're right.
I guess you're a bad dad then because you're not taking your daughters to Monster Jam.
It is bad.
My son has been to Monster Jam.
He's two years old.
It's so loud.
He probably went too young.
It is a little scary.
It is a little loud for the kids.
Oh, that scares you?
They got to wear the ear, the ear muffs.
It's too loud.
It is pretty damn loud.
I'm going on record as saying it is too loud.
Nah.
Yeah.
I, uh, Bo took the earmuffs off and I said, or, and I said, good, you keep them off.
You're a man.
I said, you're a man.
And then I said flex.
Hasn't started talking yet for some reason.
Can't hear people speak.
He has tintanitis.
Is that what it is called?
Tintanitis.
Tinnier?
Tinnitus.
Tinenitis.
Tendanitis.
It's where you got the ringing in your ear.
It's like a terrible affliction.
It's a good time.
They flip cars.
Todd just put it in the chat.
Tinnitus.
Tinnitus.
I don't know.
Tintanitis.
Tintanitis.
Tintanitis.
No, I take.
That is what was hanging off the back of Bigfoot.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Damn.
I don't...
Guess where I just took
Young Bohard.
My son.
Wow.
Okay.
Wait, hold on.
We need a big point for that one.
Yes, points.
Yes, points!
Okay, that is fire.
I'll take him.
If he goes by Young Boehard
the rest of his life,
he will have a good life.
Yeah, dude, he's a beach kid.
He's a young Boehard.
Hard part's weird, kind of weird,
but go ahead.
Young Bo Hard.
No, it's not weird.
You're a boy.
Stay hard.
Life's hard, dude.
Stay hard.
It's weird.
It's weird when no.
Adults say it.
No.
When the girls at the high school start referring to them?
See, only someone that's in the files
would take offense to that.
That is true.
Because they're always thinking of stuff like that.
When regular people, they just think it's a cute, cute nickname
for a young boy who goes hard.
Everywhere.
Blake?
In the files.
I didn't do anything.
It's just how you responded to that.
I'm looking at Monster trucks.
Guess where I took them.
You were pivoting.
So what about them?
Where did you?
take them, where'd you take them? I don't know. I want you guys to guess, and I think you know the
answer, but... Hustler. Yeah, I took my son to Hustler. What does that even mean, dude?
The Hustler's... Like, to the porno shop? To the, like, sexy... What is that... What else would
mean? What do you... The Hustler store isn't a porno shop. It's like a lingerie store, isn't it?
Oh, have you been inside of it? I remember going one... I think I went with you in Hollywood one time.
If you look this way, it's lingerie. And if you look this way, it's...
It's gaping buttholes.
Just a poster of gaping butthole.
It's science.
It's one of those gaping butthole magic eyes that the more you look into it, the more
gaping it gets.
I feel like Adam went once and they were like, do you want to become a member?
There's a point system.
And he was like, all right.
And then he had to keep going back because he's like, if I give up this punch card, I got all these punches already.
Yeah.
Well, they did used to have a.
I get a free chin.
Adam, I think the one time, I'm pretty sure the one time I went, you took
You made me go because I think you were buying your girlfriend at the time, like lingerie.
It was in Hollywood.
Well, yeah, that's where you go to get the lingerie.
But you said I can't.
You needed me by your side.
Welcome back.
Adam.
Adam, welcome back.
To go by yourself is weird.
What?
Go by yourself.
You're just creeping around.
Goodbye.
Creep it around a porn store.
It's like you go with your buddy.
It's less weird.
You're just an old get-hard.
You don't trust yourself alone.
I was there.
Trust.
What am I going to do?
porn?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
There's all the porn
you can handle online.
Well, yeah, but this is,
this is tactile.
You're touching it.
You're amongst it.
You're smelling.
No, no, no.
You're the physical media guy
in the group.
Absolutely.
You're the one who must
collect.
How physical.
There in your fucking man shed.
I see you.
If you pan the camera to the left,
it's just a stack of DVD pornos.
And what's with the head behind you?
Is there body that goes with that?
No, it's just a head.
You're in the files.
Give me head.
So, but I wasn't.
I didn't go to Hustler.
Any other guesses?
Okay.
Any other guesses?
To where you brought young Beau art?
Yes.
Romantics.
Disney Romantic?
Yeah, okay.
Well, God, it took you that long.
You guys knew the answer.
And Blake was going to have a guess here.
Blake, would you want to guess?
Even though the answer.
Didn't you tee this up on the last episode?
From what you talked about last, last episode?
We're all very aware of them.
Everyone at home is like, just saying.
Yeah.
You went to Disney world.
We don't need to guess.
Everyone knows.
dokey.
But we came back.
We came back.
So maybe I was hoping we would have a question about how, what that was like.
I'm not here for your hope.
I'd rather talk about Monster Jam, but yeah, go off.
Well, it's a Monster Jam is a thing none of us went to.
If you had just gone to Monster Jam, we would talk about Monster Jam a little bit.
For a little bit.
It's a thing that none of us went to.
Bullet.
So I just did.
Adam, you just went to Disney World.
Right?
Yeah, actually, yeah.
Oh, well, how was it?
I don't want to talk about it.
That's just boring, dude.
I'm fucking talking about Disney World.
T-em-up.
Take my Disney World.
Come on, man.
There's got to be some good stories.
There's got to be some good stories.
Well, the story was, it was super fun.
Bo had a blast.
We went on all the little kid rides, which was fun.
You know, what do I care?
I don't really care to go on.
Let's go into it.
I'm a grown-ass man.
I'm a grown-ass man.
I don't care to go on the rides.
But, dude, we had one of those guides, right?
That takes you and you get to cut the line.
and stuff and
they kept being like
Bo, his number one stunner
is Buzz Lightyear
and his work is
Tim Allen of course
loves him
loves Buzz Lightyear
we'll catch him in his crib
like he'll be in the middle of the night
and you like you get the little updates
that he's up and about
you check on him it's like 3 a.m.
And he's just looking at the camera
and going blast off
and jumping up towards the camera
he loves Buzz Lighteramus
A tremus! I love it
and so we're like
like, yo, can you see Buzz Light Year?
And you're like, actually, Buzz is really busy
today. We can't see Buzz Light Year.
And we're like, what the fuck? And I'm
going like, am I going to have to like split
this guy a few hindoos to like
get Buzz? And
he's like, well, let me see if I could do.
Then the guide leaves us for 20 minutes.
Not okay. And we're just standing here
going like, are we, what are we?
20 whole minutes?
20 whole minutes. What are you even supposed to do
with your lives? We didn't know.
Honestly, we didn't know what to do.
Up is down.
Like, did he park you somewhere?
Or you just like, he's just like, wait, hold up.
We were on the side of the little road in a Hollywood land or wherever we're at.
So it wasn't like, here's a churro.
With like the rest of society?
Like, yeah.
He didn't like a lot.
Fuck a man.
A bunch of normies.
Yes.
Yeah, and then he finally comes back.
He's like, guess what I did?
I got you, Buzz.
And then Buzz comes out a secret entrance.
He walks out, first of all, 15 security guards.
and I'm not exaggerating.
15 security guards come out.
Adam's never done that.
Go ahead.
Secret service.
It was.
It was like meeting the president or some shit.
It was like, by the way, these aren't president-level security guards.
These security cards, I don't think could take down many people.
Six Todds, four Kyle's, and a mic.
Yeah, that's right.
And they, you know, they block it off.
But as soon as they blocked it off and Bose having his little mean-and-green,
and I guess he was busy, so he had to, like, turn around and leave as soon as he was
You see people fucking clamoring on the other side of this wall of security guards.
By the way, all the security guards are like five foot two, so the wall is like very easy to look over.
Right.
But everyone is like, oh my God, there's boss, there's boys!
And people were losing their shit.
Kids were scratching at the security guard trying to climb through their legs.
It was fucking chaos.
And Bo's first thing, after we like fought to get him a meeting with Buzz Lightyer, was where's Woody?
And you're like, oh, homie, just be happy that Buzz is here.
That's like, when we're on the street and people are like, where's Dersen Blake?
Or where's Adam?
And I'm like, I think he, I don't know.
Let's FaceTime him, though.
He didn't pick up again.
He won't pick up, but we could try FaceTime me.
You guys should FaceTime me more.
Wait, now, is Buzz like a human in the suit, or is it like a plastic head?
Like, does his mouth move?
No, no, no.
They're all plushy with like a little medding so they can look out the,
I think they look out the mouth most of the time.
So you think it's probably just like,
I've been told they're all like five foot six Filipino men.
Right, of course.
Very shangaddling.
That's like what it predominantly is.
And I'm just like, this poor guy, like,
because we did all the character stuff because Bo's so young, you know?
Oh, yeah.
And so I'm like, he's getting assaulted.
Like Mickey, Bo grabbed his nose,
wiggled it around like this
poked him in the eyes
and kept going eyes eyes
and then Mickey's like okay
and I'm like trying to teach him manners but
he doesn't know manners
get your boy
get your boy get your boy
get your boy
he's got three more eyes
three more eye pokes
and then Mickey's gonna snap
I'm gonna call Goofy
you don't want me to call Goofy
I'm gonna call Goofy's a big motherfucker too
Goofy's huge
They must get a six-foot-five.
The guy in the goofy costume is six-foot-five,
because Goofy's pushing seven feet.
You're the tallest Filipino.
You get in this one.
There's no way.
They're shipping him in from like...
Go ahead.
Mother Russia.
It's like Dolph Lungren, man.
Okay.
He's Swedish.
I must break you.
Yeah.
You know, they're strutting around in the back,
like they're fucking lord king's shit.
Oh, yeah.
You know.
Oh, the backstage politics have...
gotta be just fucking crazy.
Blake, go. What do you think?
They are. I bet Goofy just walks
around in a towel, dude, with
his fucking hammer.
Just fucking...
Yeah. Hey, is this goofy?
What do you think about this? Is this goofy?
That ain't so goofy.
How goofy is that?
Hey, Pluto, come here.
I wouldn't mind seeing that daisy duck.
Get over here.
Who else is there even? I mean, I guess they got to go
Like Pixar.
Captain Hook?
You know why they call him Captain Hook.
Dude.
Damn, dog.
Dick takes a U-turn.
Go off.
Go off.
His dick take a U-turn, man.
You flip a bitch.
Okay.
Yeah.
And like Marvel characters?
Like Black Panther walks in as like,
what's up?
No, they fucked the game up.
They broke the game.
I don't know.
We didn't go to Epcot.
And I think Epcot is a little more adult.
We just went to...
Hustler.
We didn't go to Hustler.
There's not Hustler World.
I'm saying Epcot is the hustler of Disney.
Disney World, Magic Kingdom, which is like the classic with the castle.
And then we went to Hollywoodland or Hollywoodville or some shit.
Because that's what has all the Pixar characters.
And so he got to meet Sully, which he was stoked on.
Sully rocks.
Sully is the dog.
Monster, Monster, Inc.
Who's Sully.
Inc. might be the...
Sully is the big hobby from Monsters Inc.
Yeah, John Goodman.
John Goodman.
No, Monster Ink is like, is the shit right now.
I think they're, I think they might be top dog.
I think Monster Ink might be the one.
How do they, how do they do that?
It's over 20 years old.
Yeah, but I feel like they push it.
You know what I mean?
When they bring back like certain Jordans and they're like,
now everyone's gonna like the 11.
He was off in the corner.
I will say, Sully was off in the corner.
Really?
Well, that's because he was fucking high.
Dude, he was high.
Buzz?
His line was so long when we saw him.
And I was like, oh, that's going to take.
two hours to get through.
Or at least the light year.
That's because it's Florida and Tim Allen.
It's like a red state, man.
It's very...
It's very politic.
Oh, I didn't know.
It's very political.
I think it's a long line because it is actually Tim Allen.
He's in the suit.
He quietly, he's like...
That joke would be good if he wasn't extremely wealthy
and kicking it somewhere very nice right now.
Oh, he's so rich.
I guarantee he's that salsa and beer in the valley.
That's where he stays.
Oh, yeah.
That's his spot.
Yes, absolutely.
Did you see him there?
Absolutely one time and it was awesome.
Excuse me, long hair, you're in my seat.
I also, oh my God, I also saw him in North Hollywood at Arby's, dude.
I swear to God.
Well, that's sick.
He kicks it.
He's a man hero.
He's a guy con for sure.
He really is.
I stand with Tim.
And I like that he did a bunch of movies and then he just was like, you know what, let me just churn these sitcoms out.
Yeah.
Just be the last.
It's great.
The last man standing.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Oh, points.
Yes, points.
Didn't you almost get on that show?
Weren't you, like, going to do that show or something?
I really wanted to be the boyfriend character.
Right, who's like the wokester, yeah.
Yeah, like the silly stoner woke dad.
Yeah.
And then they looked at you and what their acting ability, and they were like,
nah, we're good.
Jesus.
No, they passed.
And Isaac couldn't get me in there.
Isaac couldn't close a deal.
I don't even know what the bit is.
It just wasn't good.
Just wasn't good enough.
What's y'all now, American Garage?
Oh, I thought that was the one they offered you and you turned down.
I'm sorry.
I was doing teases.
I actually don't recall.
I think I blocked that out of the history of my mind.
But, um, out.
Yep.
He's nervous.
He's nervous.
And then now it's a new show on ABC.
With Kat Denning.
Shifting gears.
Shifting gears.
Right?
Isn't Kat his daughter in that?
She's also a genius.
She's the same thing where she's just like,
Give me a sitcom.
Give me a sitcom.
They kill it.
Or give me a Thor movie, and I'll be the funniest best part of a Thor movie.
Is she in Thor movies?
I thought she was.
That's a thing.
I never watched any of the Marvel movie.
I, like, might have caught a couple here and there.
Yeah, which ones have you seen if you had to guess?
I want to say, I've seen the first Iron Man.
Great.
That one rocks.
I've seen a Thor movie.
I don't know which one.
They're all kind of riding off the Iron, the First Iron Man.
Yeah, the First Iron Man was sick.
And then...
You know, and you caught a couple, and then I would catch one, and I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
I feel like I had to do a ton of homework to even get to this point.
It got jammed up.
And then I just was like, I'm good.
I'm good, dude.
No, sir, I don't like it.
And then I said that shit on Theo's podcast, like several years ago now.
Oh, yeah, you got busted, huh?
What was it?
Where, I don't know, I just said, like, I think.
You're a DC man?
Yeah.
2%.
That is the number of people who take the stairs when there was also an.
escalator available.
I'm Michael Easter, and on my podcast, 2%.
I break down the science of mental toughness,
fitness, and building resilience in our strange
modern world. I'll be speaking with writers,
researchers, and other health and fitness experts,
and more to look past the impractical
and way too complex pseudoscience
that dominates the wellness industry.
We really believe that seed oils
were inherently inflammatory.
We got it wrong.
many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world are the result of stress.
Put yourself through some hardships, and you will come out on the other side a happier, more fulfilled, healthier person.
Listen to 2%. That's T-W-O-Persent on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying.
Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the Fourth. You might have seen that.
the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in
sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,
and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even
music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that
don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever
supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be.
Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your
podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.
Hey guys, it's Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and Anders Holm from the
podcast, this is important.
Woo! Hey, y'all, we're here to let you know that on Friday, September 25th at 8 p.m., we will be

You know it, you love it.
That's right.
We're bringing the chaos and Blake's soundboard across the border.
So get your tickets now at T-I-I-Tor.com before they sell out.
Can't wait to party with you guys.
Canadian style.
When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity,
the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about,
and they are experts at everything.
Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes.
What Coogler did that I think was so unique.
He's the writer-director.
Who do you think he is?
I don't know.
You mean the president?
You think Canada has a president?
You think China has a president.
those walk-thruzette.
God, I love that thing.
I use it all the time.
I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.
It's like the old Polish saying,
not my monkeys, not my circus.
Yep.
It was a good one.
I like that saying.
It is an actual Polish saying.
It is an actual Polish saying.
Better version of Play Stupid Games,
win stupid prizes.
Yes.
Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift
who said that for the first time.
I actually thought it was.
I got that wrong.
Listen to the Nick Dick and Poll show
on the I Heart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, I know I said that I thought that Marvel,
and I still kind of agree with it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talked about this.
Sort of ruined the comedy comedies in theaters because they're kind of funny,
but it's also a $200 million movie.
Right.
So when you go, would you rather go see a $20 million comedy movie?
That's funny, but there's no explosions.
There's no crazy shit.
Or spend the same amount of money and go see the huge Marvel movie.
Right.
The funny Thor movie.
That you have to see to be, like, part of the conversation.
Yeah, and people were so mad, dude.
You don't want to rock the Marvel boat.
I'm like, Jesus.
Well, yeah, I feel like the Marvel, the MCU boat is different from, like, the Marvel comic book boat.
Because, like, OG comic heads, I don't think they get that mad at that comment.
They don't give a fuck.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, there's 11 of them, so, yeah, maybe all 11, they weren't on the internet that day.
At the retirement home.
Also, they don't have it.
So they're mostly reading the paper and doing doodles.
Yeah, they're in an attic.
It's just the dude from The Simpsons who's like,
the page is bent, I'm not going to read it or buy it.
Yeah, I mean, it is looking back now,
now that we've kind of got a little more hindsight on Marvel,
like I think we're, if we're not out of it,
we're close to out of it.
Yeah, we're coming out of the whole fucking...
How many movies did they make, like 30?
Yeah, Todd, give us a number.
So many.
And how many?
And how many of them are legitimately great or good or very good?
Like seven?
But that's, it's still a numbers game, right?
Like even if you were like, hey, they made 25 comedies last year.
They didn't.
They made maybe like three.
But how many were good or great?
It's like a numbers game, even with this shit.
Yeah, but to your point, those comedies cost $20 to $15 million and these each cost $200.
And they're all the same story-ish, right?
Whereas like, you're talking.
about 20 different comedies with 20.
I saw Black Panther. That one was kind of tight.
Black Panther was good. Black Panther's cool, but it's not a great movie.
Like, fucking Iron Man's great.
Yes. I thought that was a great movie.
Iron Man, great.
I think that the... Winter Soldier.
I think all the Captain Americas are great and pretty good.
Oh, I haven't seen any of those.
Those are to me the good. Those are the best ones, I think.
Those are worth of watch.
Oh, okay.
Are we counting Spider-Man? That's Fox.
but all the Spider-Man's are pretty fucking sick.
Well, Spider-Man into the Spider-verse
is an absolute banger.
Dude, this is why I'm out.
Just even conversations like this.
I'm like, what the fuck?
What are we even talking about?
And Adam, if you could be any Marvel character, which one would be?
Jesus Christ.
I'm like, this is so stupid.
Shut up, bitch!
You know what are dope?
The X-Men movies are fucking...
The later newer X-Men movies are fucking great.
Ian McKellen kills it.
Wolverine was sick.
Logan.
Some Wolverines are good.
Logan, right? Logan, fucking great.
Logan was tight. Todd, how many
Marvel movies have come out?
The Wolverine Deadpool? Super tight.
But those are Fox.
I don't like, I don't really love the Avengers
movies. I think the Black Panther
movies are alright. Okay.
All right. See what we're doing? This sucks.
Even talking about
this is... I'm a
I'm a like comic book
head. I love that shit.
And like, I know, I know you pretend to be.
I don't pretend, bro.
You want to see my physical media?
Yeah.
You want to see my comic books, bro?
That's a euphemism.
That's a euphemism.
That's a euphemism.
I forgot, we're not on the laptop.
Yeah, that's a record.
That's a record.
There was 37 films released in the Marvel, Marvel,
I can't even say it.
Marville.
Marville.
Cinematic Universe.
Your fucking disaster, my guy.
Beginning with Iron Man.
So since 2008, there's been 37 Marvel movies.
That's crazy.
37 is insane.
It's wild.
That is insane.
That's a lot.
And like, what are we even forgetting about?
Hulk?
Ant-Mans.
The Ant-Man's.
Ant-Man.
Yeah, the Hulk's.
I mean, that being said.
Doctor Strange.
They're cool movies.
I'm glad that they do them.
I'm just like, I wish they still were making comedies at the same time.
What do you think are cool?
Which ones are cool to you?
You just say you don't watch them.
Well, I saw Ant-Man.
I thought that was cool.
I like small shit.
If you go to them as a dad, if you sneak out at the very, for the very, for the very
last showing.
You bring like a vape.
Okay.
They're fucking tight, dude.
I'm talking like 1040
with a vape.
It's just you.
Buy some jelly beans.
Shouldn't you be at home
cooking breakfast for somebody?
No, this is at night.
This is 1040 p.m.
So you're gonna be...
This is dad's midnight showing.
As soon as they go to school, yeah.
Adam, you'll learn.
You'll learn.
You'll learn.
As soon as you send your kid to school,
then you go to the movies.
No, I'm saying you go...
Midnight showing.
Midnight showing.
You're going to be in the theater until 1.30 in the morning.
Blake will also learn.
How are you going to wake up to get your kids off to school?
Not gonna.
I'm going to the movie at 1040.
I'm not going to get out at 1.30.
These movies are like three hours.
30 minutes of previews.
Yeah, and 30 minutes of previews.
So the movie's not even starting to 1115, you dumb fuck.
And then they're three hours long.
My God, man.
How are you going to be?
How are you going to wake up and cook breakfast for somebody?
Well, I only cook breakfast on Fridays.
But other than that, it's a cereal pouring situation.
That's fine.
What do you making on Fridays?
Mickey Mouse, Waffle pancakes.
With peanut butter.
What's a waffle pancake?
It's pancake battering a waffle iron.
So it's like a crispy pancake.
I thought that was the only way to do it.
That's the same thing, though.
Biskwick is just you just pour, it can be one or the other.
I thought that was the same thing.
Yeah.
But isn't the whole thing about like waffles is your,
You're grilling it from both sides.
As a pancake, you're griddling it one side at a time.
But you just said you put pancake stuff in a waffle.
And I'm saying it is the same thing.
It's not, well, now we're splitting hairs, but like that's all that.
No, we're just splitting the conversation that you just had.
We're saying it's the same thing.
A waffle is what you do with it, a pancake's what you do with it.
It's the same stuff, though.
The best way.
What do you do with it, bitch?
Bend over and I'll show you.
I'll show you my pancake.
And how you do Mickey Mouse?
They have the shape of it?
Of the Waffle Iron?
Yeah, it's a Mickey Mouse pancake iron.
Oh, yeah.
Woffline.
We have one too.
I don't know.
Someone had gifted it to us, to me at least.
And the fact that you have it, maybe they gifted it to all of us.
But Chloe in her very, very smartly, years ago, saved it.
This is before we were married, before we had kids.
She was like, I'm just going to tuck this away.
Because someday we might want this.
Because I'm not going to make Mickey
Mouse pancakes for ourselves.
But now we have
it and I'm very excited to
bust it out soon for young
Bohart. This is the way. She refused.
Maybe we make some of these Mickey Mouse
Get your fucking hands off.
She locks the cupboard.
I'm surprised Blake didn't keep it for
physical media purposes.
Well, he's like, I have to save
this. It can't be used.
I don't, I don't, I'm not a Mickey
Mouse guy. I'm not a Disney guy.
So even the fact that I'm letting you talk
about Disney World and all that.
It's very boring to me.
It's very boring.
And if you guys are listening or watching,
Blake does have a mute button for all of us,
and it's kind of up to him.
He's the lead character of our friend group,
or whatever they call it.
I'm not, like, Mickey Mouse has never moved by...
Did they say stuff like,
I'm the lead character of my friend group?
Who's saying shit like that?
Isn't that the whole thing?
Yeah, no, main character.
Main character syndrome.
Energy.
Yeah.
Energy or something.
I definitely have main character energy.
imagine being in a friend group where one of the people says,
I'm the main character.
Everyone hates that person, right?
You know what?
I bet you'd be surprised.
You'd be shocked.
You're a monster.
That how often that happens?
It depends how they handle it.
It depends how they handle it, you know?
Well, if it's a joke, then sure.
But if it's not a joke and they're saying, well, I'm the main character.
I promise you, it happens more often than you think.
Or the other fuddy dutties are like, yeah.
I mean, hey, all right, but hey, okay.
Like, all right?
I mean, it's not until later on in life that they realized that they actually hated that person and they were a bitch.
It probably, if you're in your early 20s, I hated them and I'm a bitch.
So whose fault is it?
No, hated them.
They are bitch.
Well, it's, they are.
Who's the bitch?
No, I was saying that you're the bitch because you were subservient to this person who says I'm the best person in your friend group.
Exactly.
That sucks.
So you should have left.
You should have left.
Or you should have just been like, hey man.
You hear that, Blake?
Don't call yourself the main character.
Yeah, Blake, are you listening?
I'm listening.
Uh-huh.
Cumbaya.
Yeah, Blake, you're here.
Honestly, I do think in elementary years, I think I was the main character.
And then in later years, I started to take a back.
Yeah, but you weren't saying.
Sure, dude.
I, you know, I think we all were probably leaders of our little friend groups.
But we weren't saying shit like that.
You know, we're not in elementary school.
being like, I'm the best one.
Follow me on the jungle gym.
You're just saying, yo, follow me.
Let's do this cool shit.
You're not saying I'm the best.
Or were you?
Right.
I'm not really stamping it.
I don't think you were.
I don't think I was stamping it.
But I do think...
Maybe I was.
Yeah, I actually was saying it.
I would just end the sentence.
I would end the sentence with right.
Hey, boys, we're going this way.
Right?
Right.
And then he looks back and no one's behind it.
Yeah, no one's there.
Where they go?
Oh, y'all are crazy.
I guess we're going that way.
Huh.
I'm such the main, I'm giving such main character energy.
Right?
Quietly to yourself.
I'm a main character on a solo journey.
I do think I recall as a kid, though, like having a moment.
That's what Blake says quietly to himself.
I'm main character on a solo journey.
You know who thinks to the main character in a friend group?
The one who thinks of their friend, the main character in their friend group,
I feel like every.
friend group as
as as
you know no you grow
every friend grope
group group he's in the files
I feel like every young dude friend group
suddenly like there's one quiet guy
who's like I bet I can pick you up
yeah that's
there's always a dude who's like
he just starts picking people up
and you're like a very quiet very strong
member of what is that
why is that? That's true I had I had him
I think there's just it's a way
of asserting a quiet
dominant.
Yeah.
And those guys rock.
It's so strange.
Those guys rock.
They do.
They're usually good people.
This guy, hey, this dude can, I'd go to summer camp.
They'd like, this guy can pick anybody up.
And I'd be like, I'm, nice, sick, dude.
I'm good.
Stop right there.
Yeah, please don't.
I believe you.
That guy was me.
I believe you.
Hey, bet you can, but we're going this way, right?
Yeah, right?
I told you, dude.
We're not picking people up anymore, right?
Right.
We're done, right?
Right.
We're going to archery, right?
Yes, so then we got back from Disney World.
Oh, okay.
Dude, violently ill.
The sickest I've been.
Oh, yeah, because we skipped on Friday.
We were supposed to do this Friday.
That's right.
We skipped a podcast.
We're going to podcast on Friday, and I was so sick.
Finish him.
Is this norovirus, like a 24-hour?
You were in Florida.
That's that, Orlando.
It was about 48 hours, and it hit me like a fucking Mac truck.
like a cement truck.
It hit me so viciously hard.
We were there.
We were actually in Orlando,
not just for Disney World,
but I hosted the Children's Miracle Network
had their giant gala
called Elevate,
where all the sponsors
for the Children's Miracle Network
come in, and I hosted the talent show
and it's very cute and it's very fun.
I think,
maybe it was either there
or just the World
that I caught this super virus.
But you think you...
Yeah.
Wait, you, wait, where were you?
Jesus Christ.
I was in Orlando.
I hosted this giant event.
Were you not listening?
What happened?
He just got to, just went to Monster James.
He can't hear anything.
I'm sorry.
Did you hit the mute button on me?
No, I'm just blown away.
I've never heard a cracking or just get her done too.
So that's crazy.
But where was this?
What is happening?
I don't know.
I think I'm getting sick through.
what you're talking about.
The Tremus.
Okay.
So I was in Orlando hosting this giant event for the Children's Miracle Network.
Marie Osmond's there, dude.
My mom always said that Maria Osmond is her doppelganger.
And everyone said that when she was younger, she looked like Marie Osmond.
So I don't really know Marie Osmond.
You know, I'm just a young boy.
I meet Marie Osmond.
She's exactly like my mom.
Okay, dokey.
She's the same size.
as my mom. She talks
the same as my mom. She got the poof. She
has the poof. She's had some work
done. She looks really good. Dude, she looks
unreal for her age.
My mom is very jealous because
she's like two years older than
her houseman or maybe the other way.
And
she looks great.
But my mom was like... She's a little pornoe.
They look... They look...
They look...
But they look great.
She looks great. She's looking really good.
She looked... She was so nice.
and like made a nice video for my mom.
She was a wonderful woman.
Met Tatiana Ali,
Muhammad Ali's wife.
Sure.
Her daughter.
Daughter.
Daughter wife.
Of American Gladiator's fame.
She did a thing for Children's Miracle Network as well.
So it's cool.
It's a cool event.
But I think I got deathly ill there.
And this cold was unlike anything I've ever experienced.
I was so tired for two days.
I could hardly open up my eyes.
the first day.
It was a cold or a fever?
I don't know.
There was no fever, but, and I wasn't, like, not really snoddy, not really a sore throat,
just, like, so tired that I couldn't wake up.
I slept for, like, 18 hours.
You're growing boy.
Maybe you, did you get mono?
Did you kiss Buzz Lightyear or something?
Like, what?
Well, I kissed, I, I kissed everything.
Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson's going to get to the bottom of there.
Cumbaya.
It's got mono because I feel great today.
It was like a two-day thing.
And then, and then yesterday, I, I feel.
felt a little better and then today I'm back baby
I'm happy were you were you pumping yourself full of vitamins what were we doing to get
ourselves over literally nothing literally no reds water some reds or anything just water just water
I had a bunch of chicken noodle soup so that rocked okay that's not nothing science
that's not nothing that's not nothing that's really good where do you get your chicken noodle soup
that's a good name for a podcast you know they sent uh
The children's miracle network were people, they're so nice.
Oh, boy.
You know, obviously, all they do is help sick kids.
Because you sent a really mean email.
I was like, you got me fucking sick.
Which one got me sick?
One of these cold.
One of these kids got me sick.
Wait, so they sent you soup?
They sent me soup.
How did they even know you got sick?
Because he wrote a scathing email.
No, they hit me back.
They were like, hey, thanks for everything.
How are you doing?
And I was like, I'm actually sick right now.
And then within hours, there was all the soup at my doorstep.
It was unreal.
I don't tell, I wouldn't, I'd be like, I'm good, it was great, thank you, bye.
I wouldn't be like, actually, I don't know, I'm like, who gives a fuck?
Yeah, they asked me how I was doing.
I'm like, but I know, but now I know, free soup.
Yeah, he's, uh, he's just being honest, but that's fucking cool.
Well, because I didn't respond to their text like eight hours later.
And normally I try to respond to them.
Oh, you ghosted him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, because dude, I was falling asleep.
Like, I wasn't looking at my phone.
Yeah.
It was a crazy.
It's a beautiful thing.
I would like, I would like be watching.
TV and then I'd wake up
and it's two episodes later and I just like
slept through it and I'm like huh
it was wild it was like I was
11 beers deep
yeah and like I was stumbling
I was falling it was
we all know the film are you sure you weren't
just hammered? Very sure
I didn't drink anything
damn it was like a trip with kids
I wasn't like drinking you know
they don't got beer at Disney
Disney World I was gonna say
except I was he's waiting for the accept
I wasn't just drinking
A beer with buds?
I had a beer at lunch.
Okay.
That's my boy.
And then I had a beer or a mixed drink by the pool.
Like a hurricane?
Like, what are we talking?
No, like whatever, a blended.
Like a peanut colada.
Drunk now.
They called them Miami Vices or whatever.
I love that shit.
That's off the chain.
It's good, dude.
So where did the...
I had like two drinks all weekend.
Where did this, um, this chicken noodle soup come from?
Like, was it an elite batch?
I wish I knew it was.
It was an elite bag.
I really like chicken noodle soup.
I saved it.
I wish I knew the name of it because that'd be a hell of it.
Dude, we need the plug.
Probably one more person would order chicken noodle soup from them
if they heard it on our podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would be sick.
I'm just wondering, like, do they have a network of chicken noodle soup places
where they can just, like, send it out to anybody in the country?
They've been doing this for years, dude.
Have you ever heard of...
It's just Uber eats.
So you just get it from a grocery store.
I think they have, like, everything dialed.
Who has everything dialed?
The Children's Miracle Network.
Durs, we're talking about the miracle network.
Like, they probably have the most elite chicken.
Oh, so you're saying they make miracles?
Yeah, they probably have the most elite chicken noodle soup in the world.
Like, they're literally giving it to sick children.
They probably just hit up Arawon and then just had it delivered.
No, it's better than Aeroon.
It's better than Aeroon.
It was better than Ereone.
It's probably like a team of like grandmas.
You know what?
I'm going to text, I'm going to text, Klo.
Have her go look for me.
Hey, hey, I need you to go down there right now for the podcast.
Pizza pizza.
Right?
I guarantee it's going to be.
Could you please tell me what the name of the soup is?
Don't yell.
It's for the podcast.
I need it right now.
The world needs to know.
Don't yell.
This is important.
Thank you.
I love you.
All caps.
All caps.
Was that a voice note or was that, were you talking?
Was that a phone?
Dude, I don't even know.
How do people send where
you can just talk?
I hope you don't do that to me ever.
I don't know how, but people will do it to me
and then I don't know how to do it back.
I find it to be the clearest violation
of like you thinking
that to me is people who think their main characters.
That actually...
Where they're just like, I'm thinking out loud
and I'm going to send this to you.
I'm not going to take the time to type it.
And I expect you wherever the fuck you are
to play this out loud.
and listen to it. Well, you could read it too. I never, I never play it out loud. You could just read it.
You could just frame it!
I'm never read.
2%. That is the number of people who take the stairs when there is also an escalator available.
I'm Michael Easter. And on my podcast, 2%, I break down the science of mental toughness,
fitness, and building resilience in our strange modern world. I'll be speaking with writers,
researchers, and other health and fitness experts, and more.
to look past the impractical and way too complex pseudoscience that dominates the wellness industry.
We really believe that seed oils were inherently inflammatory.
We got it wrong.
Many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world are the result of stress.
Put yourself through some hardships, and you will come out on the other side a happier, more fulfilled, healthier person.
Listen to 2%. That's T-W-O-P-Prescent on the I-Hart Radio app.
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care what you're saying.
Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions,
my journey from basketball to college football,
or my career in sports media.
Well, somewhere along the way,
this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement
to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw,
unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,
creators and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
One week I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,
and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations,
stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger.
So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream,
this is right where you need to be.
Listen to the Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcast.

Wow.
He's just not on my radar.
What, like, his last special wasn't that good?
The one where he went in on the slap and all that?
Tamborine was the shit.
Yeah, I thought that was fine.
I thought that was like, okay, he's still good.
He still got it.
I thought it was awesome.
I thought it was fine.
Chris Rock rocks, dude.
He's my number one.
Hey, I love Chris Rock.
I think Chris Rock is, like, one of the best, if not.
No, I'm saying, like, doing it right now, though.
That's that what you said.
You said Chelsea, Per-
Currently.
He's doing it right now.
He was at the improv.
the other week.
I would rather see Chelsea than Chris Brock, for sure.
Okay.
Here's my question.
And Adam, I want you to weigh on this as a stand-up.
I always hear people rank comedians, like, oh, this is my favorite of all time, Richard
Pryor.
And is that based on, or here's what, let me rephrase this.
I like the idea of ranking best specials ever.
Okay, yeah.
That's over being like, who's the greatest comedian of all time?
Because, like, I don't know, man.
Because there are comics.
There's comics that have done it so right when it comes.
Like Jeff Foxworthy, I don't find him to be the funniest.
But if you look at his career and just like how he did it and how many books he put out,
like the comedy books and the specials and the tours, he did it.
Are you smarter than the fifth grader?
I mean, honestly, he did it.
The exact arc of what a stand-up comedy comedian can do.
That never blew up in was a movie star.
Sure.
He's a pure stand-up comic.
Yes.
Now, I don't find him to be the funniest guy.
He's not really prolific.
No, that's exactly what he is.
He's prolific when it comes to stand-up comedy and just comedy, churning out comedy.
You might be a redneck is elite.
Oh, yeah.
It is.
I mean, he's a go.
If you think it's hacky or, like, hammy or whatever about you might be a redneck.
I'm sorry.
He invented it.
It's so fucking good.
And they're funny.
Yeah, he created a game, dude.
Yes.
Yeah, no, he's a killer.
But he doesn't really, like, make me, like, think.
He just makes me laugh.
He doesn't make me think.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm like, there's different levels to it.
There's, like, there's a, there's standups that have, like, everybody's loves Eddie Murphy's
couple specials.
His two specials.
Yeah.
I understand why.
They are really, really funny.
And he just came out like a lightning bolt and people were like, oh, my God.
God, he's the greatest, he's the best.
Yes.
But then he didn't keep doing it.
So you can't rake him the greatest or the best.
But what I'm saying is couldn't you because of those two specials?
Like, aren't those two specials?
Yeah, I think that's, there's different ways.
Yes.
There's different ways of looking at it.
You look at like a whole career, like Foxworthy or someone like that, their career is, as far
as just stand of comedy goes, is better than Eddie Murphy's career as comedy.
Right, but maybe Eddie Murphy has a funnier special than Jeff Boxworth.
Yeah, absolutely he does.
I went down a YouTube rabbit hole just Paul Mooney stand-up special.
Paul Mooney's hilarious.
Unbelevable.
I never loved Paul Mooney.
I never loved it.
Yeah.
Unreal.
I mean, yeah, you know, because even when you think of like Dave Chappelle, like he was such a different comedian earlier in his career.
He was like very, I just listened to an interview with him.
He's always, you know.
That NPR joint?
Yeah, he's always very thoughtful and it is very intriguing to listen to him because he does, he's not a, he's not a bozo, he's not idiot, he thinks about everything and he is a prolific person.
Yeah, he's very smart.
And then when you think about his like early specials, they were so silly.
Yeah.
They were like so silly.
Like the bits were about like stoner Sesame Street.
And those are the ones that really stand out to me.
That's like, for me, that's peak Chappelle.
Well, that's because that's the level of intelligence you're working on.
Yeah.
He's like, I like to think.
When he did the Stone Sesame Street, I was like, oh, shit.
You're a stupid dumbass.
I mean, and Blake, I'm with you.
I like the silly shit, too.
To me, I like, to me, like every comment, yes, I think he can talk on more political topics.
And do it.
Do whatever you want as a comedian.
But to me, the funnier, clever bits have nothing to do with that.
It's just Stone Sesame Street.
Or it's just the baby smoking crack on the corner.
Yes.
I mean, but I do like people.
I mean, I like a comic that makes you, you know, really think
and really like analyze society and the way we...
And also makes you laugh while you do it.
I do like the...
Yeah, I love the total package.
Right.
They got to package it.
I mean, dude, to me, that's why...
Care top.
Both of the two, what is it, bigger and blacker
and the other Chris Rock special that came out,
where it was just like
Bring the pain
Talking about society
And packaging it
And packaging it in jokes and stories
That were unfucking
believable
Just so good
Amazing
Chris Rock to me is
I saw him
He followed me once at the improv
Because it was like an open mic
And this was like
05 or whatever
And it was an open mic
And then he goes up
And I'm like fuck
He's gonna crush
And he didn't
And it was awesome
He was working out
brand new material and he just had a notebook and he's just sort of rambling and it was like the first
like a couple of minutes are super exciting because it's Chris Rock but then you're like oh he's just
like figuring stuff out yeah and even said on stage he's like he's like uh y'all gonna go home and
say you saw Chris Rock talk uh talk about dentistry for 35 minutes yeah and and you were like yeah
he was just like working out a bit and then two months later I see him doing a Saturday night
set talking about dentistry and it was crushing because he took the material and dialed it in
and it was it was so cool to see it i think that i think that's one of the cool things about still living
in l.A. and hollywood is you're going to see those sets like i saw chelsea that's because like the
netflix is a joke thing is coming out you know the festival is starting we're at it
we're in it troubadour troubadour get at us doing the troubadour show when is it when is that
May 9.
If I recall it is exactly on 5A.
May 8.
May 8.
Be there.
We're going to have a blast.
It's sold out.
It's sold out.
It's sold out.
It's be there.
If you bought tickets.
We'll meet you outside.
Like Buzzlight your style.
But it is cool because you can see comedians like work out their stuff.
You know, you're not at a casino or wherever in America where the set is polished.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you do get to see.
And it, I mean, it's a person who considers them.
A comedian of sorts.
It's really fun to watch a comedian's mind work and see them stumble through that stuff.
It used to always come with me when I was doing open mics all the time.
And it was really cool to see, like, you'd see Lucy Kay jump up.
And, I honestly, I've never seen Louis C.K. not crush.
I've never been around him.
I don't know.
I would always stand next to him and say, I'm a potted plant.
I'm a pot of.
Did he jerk off in a potted plant?
I think that was you.
That's Weinstein.
That's Weinstein.
Oh, that was Weinstein
Off.
That's life.
You shit in a potter plant?
Weinstein jerked off in long.
But Weinstein jerked off in potted plants.
And Weinstein had a pretty strong hour.
It was a confusing time.
It was a confusing time where like
it all came out within like a week.
Harvey Weinstein, the prolific movie producer,
was jerking off in potted plants,
which seems like a weird thing.
He was doing more than just do that.
Yeah, I mean, I think he's in prison.
Yeah.
Prolific movie producer.
Convicted rapist movie producer.
Oh, was he a convicted rapist?
I mean, isn't that why he's in jail?
Madfuck if I know.
I thought maybe it's just the plant.
The plant union came after him.
Allegedly, I don't know the thing.
He's in jail for being not to him.
He's in jail for a thing.
Allegedly!
Lucy Kay got in trouble for, like, jerking off in front of people.
Yeah.
So then I got those two things conflated, you know.
Dude, is this, are we...
Have you the, like, gooning?
Gooniversary, the guy who like drove through the drive-thru
of like a bikini coffee thing with his pants off
and then like got filmed and they released the video
and then the guy was like, oh fuck
and he killed himself and now
there's this unbelievable
league of gooners.
There's this ironic like we stand with the gooner
and they have like a gooneral like a funeral.
They all showed up to where the guy blew his brains out to
have like a fucking...
Yes, points!
No, no, that's not my points.
That's what they call it.
They call it that.
I know.
I'm giving them points.
I'm giving them points.
They deserve points.
And the whole thing is a bit.
It's bizarre.
They're dead serious.
And the guy's dead.
Is it a bit?
They're not dead serious.
They're not dead serious.
They're like...
They're dead serious about the bit.
They're tripling, doubling,
quadrupling down on the bed.
Yeah, it's...
It's gnarly, dude.
It's insane.
It's another Channel 5 interview.
I kind of heard about...
Goonin?
That, about...
Well, Gooninin is just where you cross your eyes and jerk off?
What is Goonin?
Gooning is apparently beating off a lot.
Yeah, gooninin is now means like, yeah, you masturbate a ton.
Okay, so Kyle.
Yeah, you're just looking...
You're just looking to goon.
You're looking to goon.
But a dude killed himself, and now there's all these dudes out there, like, pretending
like they, like, he was a martyr for, like, guys who would jack off and need to find places to do it.
So this guy was jacking off driving through...
He drove through a bikini...
You know how...
Yeah, you know how in like Portland and where...
Like, you can get those...
It's like a drive-thru coffee shop
where the baristas are hot babes.
Dude, they're all hookers, right?
I don't...
I don't know.
I wouldn't say that.
I think that they just wear bikinis.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know the protocol.
It's like hooters.
It's like hooters, but it's a coffee place.
Yeah.
It seems a little more...
nasty than he'll let you go down that rabbit hole i don't know i truly don't know the protocol of bikini
like drive-thru coffee coffee shops i don't know if adam's just adam's veering towards like
well maybe i don't know if you ask for an extra creamy latte and and then you get something else
but this dude rolled through the drive-thru with like apparently like pants off you know his
dick in his hand or his pants off okay okay and the the barrisis
was recording it and he was like kind of realized he got caught.
It's like a new harambe, a new like there's a leprechaun in the tree where people are pretending to get a new got to wake up early cooked breakfast for somebody.
Bub rub.
No, that's not that's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is it's like a bandwagon thing for people to pretend to care about.
Right.
Yes.
Because you're like in on it and people who.
who don't understand being in on it
are driven crazy by it
so you're like, it's trolling.
It's just like another level.
It's epic troll.
Well, it really sucks that this guy
committed suicide.
I mean...
Yeah, he had a wife and I think he'd...
Oh, buddy.
I mean, he was so ashamed by his horniness.
But I think that's where there actually is...
There we go.
Like, there is a stance to be taken.
Like, these guys are going...
This guy shouldn't have been shamed into killing.
himself just because he was going through a drive-through.
But he wasn't shamed into killing himself.
He had shame.
That's why he did it.
Why do you think he did it?
Well, that's on him.
He chose to kill himself.
By the way, you should have some shame.
No.
Well, not.
Maybe not.
Shame is a right.
Well, shame is okay.
You should have some shame.
Okay.
Because you were jerking off while a girl is just trying to hand you a fucking
pumpkin latte.
You call her a hooker, dude.
You call her a hooker.
Oh, yeah.
What are we talking about?
Well, dude, even if she's a hooker,
if you're not paying her the money
to jerk off in front of?
Oh, he bought the coffee?
What that's just a coffee?
I don't think a $4 a cup of coffee
would constitute jerking off.
You want some cream?
Jerking off is at least $20.
Or $40.
It's science.
I don't know how much jerking off costs,
but it's probably fairly expensive.
He's setting the price.
Jerking off should be free.
Jerking off in front of a woman.
That seems like you would just.
cooning. You should be paying for that. That's a service. Okay, well, tell Louis C.K. that, bro.
Circle back. Circle back.
He was bringing him on tour. But yeah, the guy, nobody made him kill himself. He killed himself.
Posting the video of him and Blat, putting his face on blast. Right. You know what? I bet other dudes think twice now.
Who did that? Yeah. Like the manager of the, um, not even the girl who took the video. The manager was like, let's put this guy on blast.
Yeah, you know.
And I'm working with all of the facts.
Yeah, of course.
Okay?
This is, there's nothing, this is airtight.
This is why this is important.
It would be absolutely unreal if you showed up to those like gooniversaries and you were like the leader.
No, if we just saw, but it would be unreal.
It would be unreal.
That would be unbelievable.
He has like a, he like has one of those hats on that also has a wig of like long hair coming down the bat.
Yeah.
But it's just obvious.
Honestly, I'm just...
No, the golf ones where it's the poof on the top of the visor.
Dude.
I've seen people who look like that, and it's not even the fake hat.
Yeah, you're like...
It's the real deal.
Holy.
They go really moly.
I wish...
Dearest...
Deers.
I hope you do that.
That would be really cool.
We'll see.
Link up with the goons.
That would be so good.
I mean, for the way you're talking, I think you're their guy?
No, I'm too obvious.
You're cool.
Oh!
I got that lead character.
Hey, move over, guys.
We're going to stand here and we're going to...
Of the goons.
Like, I show up, everybody like, oh, Blake's here, like, oh, he's trying to get some shine or whatever.
We don't leave here until we get dragged away.
You're on Monsters of Monarch, dude.
Like, that's sick if you pull up.
That's true.
That is true.
Check out this monster.
You're hanging out with Kurt Russell, and then on weekends, you're in your Gooniversary.
I like that.
I wonder if our buddy Goons, who...
That's just a nickname.
I wonder if now that, because I kind of didn't put it together,
that gooning is a real thing and people talk like,
like actually say gooning.
Yeah, he probably hates that nickname.
Yeah, it has morphed.
Does he still have it?
Yeah, well, it's his Instagram handle.
He's still, he hasn't changed it yet.
Well, you know, then he probably's into it.
He's probably like, isn't that funny?
Yeah, well, maybe.
I'm gonna come.
He's leaning in.
He's leaning in.
I hope so.
I hope he has a good sense of humor about it.
Any apologies, any doppelgangers out there?
Dude, I don't think so.
I think we nailed it.
I guess maybe I could take back.
I'm not sure how strongly I worded what I said about Chris Rock,
if I said I didn't like him or what.
But I do think he's an extremely talented stand-up comedian,
one of my favorites of all time.
I hope I didn't...
Yeah, we just throw that around pretty willy-nilly.
That's why I was...
Just because you said that Chelsea is one of your favorites of all time.
Right.
She's now doing it.
I love, like, that is a name where, like, I'm like, yes, I will go see Chelsea perform
stand-up any time.
I think she's just hilarious.
Okay.
I really do.
She's just hilarious.
She's nothing more than hilarious to you?
Nothing more than that to me.
Interesting.
Okay.
She is very part of, and she's directed in me in a movie, and she's nothing more than
hilarious.
That's it.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, are you just trying to get put in another movie?
This is Blake politicking right now?
No, I'm not.
He's never not.
I find her very funny.
I do also think she's funny.
I don't mean to take anything away.
But we're talking about the greatest comedians of all time,
which is the list that you put her on,
she's not on my even top 10.
That's okay.
I would have to, I would have to reanalyze.
I'm very surprised.
The greatest of all time,
even though her special, one of the greats is one of the greats,
is very, very funny.
Is that where it cuts to the crowd that's not there?
Yes.
Yeah.
So good.
Very good.
Good.
To make a list, I would have to really, like, think about it and look at comedians.
But I'm saying right now, if I'm looking at Marquise, I'm driving past a comedy place and I see that name.
You don't have to do the whole thing.
That's one I'm pulling up for.
I just watched some of David Crosses.
I started it.
Love David Cross.
God damn.
He's so so funny.
You know who is so funny that, but, like, I just haven't seen it for a while.
It's me, right?
for a while? No, no, no, not you. Not you.
It's me, right.
It's Pat Nosswald.
Pat Nosswald, you said David,
David Cross, I feel like they're in the same
class, if you will, of comedians.
I will. Like, they graduated at the same time.
Yeah. Like the grunge rock.
Yeah. Where they're like,
yeah, they're like alternative comics,
you know. So, my
wife took the photos
of the,
of all of the
chicken noodle soup.
The soups.
Okay.
And it is, by the way, not just chicken noodle.
Drum roll.
Tomato basil.
Drum roll.
That's a yummy one.
You're unbelievable.
Two chicken noodles and a baked potato soup.
Oh, that's going to make you feel better.
It's called Spoonful.
Spoonful of Comfort.
The cause of diarrhea.
That's awesome, dude.
Shout out to Spoonful of Comfort.
If you're...
Send us some soup, Spoonful.
We would love to try it.
Send us some soups.
Please send us some soup.
I would drink it right out of the footbed of my reef sandal.
Which is almost impossible because I'm always wearing them.
So, fucking, we'll see.
And you didn't, you didn't want to take back Chelsea Peretti being your, your greatest full time?
I stand on business.
Why?
I let him, I don't let him.
I stand on business.
That's my goat.
I like how Blake's like Chelsea Paredi and you're like, that's crazy.
For me, Jeff Foxworthy.
No, I, well, we were talking about.
You have your points, he has his points.
Like, I told you, dude.
Yeah, I'm standing on business.
Let him have his reef sandal.
I'm standing on business.
Yeah, the wreath sandal still has the...
It seems like you didn't wear it.
It still has his sticker on there.
But that's impossible.
We've been wearing them.
That's crazy.
That's crazy talk.
I'm currently wearing mine right now.
And on business.
This is a long episode.
Should we end it?
Yeah, and this is another episode of...
This is...
This is.
Porch!
Perfect.
I love it.
You're unbelievable.
A win is a win.
A win. I don't care which I'll say it.
Yep, that's me.
