Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to him, right?

Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro. And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off.

And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to Season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. June is Black Music Month, and on the Drink Chams podcast, we're speaking with the hottest names in the culture, like Sway Lee. Do you realize how legendary you are? I appreciate that. I'd be seeing it, but I'm like, man, I still got, like so much more to do. Like, Prince, he dropped like 30 albums. We dropped like five right now.

Like, that's the rate we got to be going. Yep, that's a good attitude. No matter the era, Drink Chams brings you. the biggest names and the most unfiltered conversations.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.

Getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the Iheart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of Iheart Radio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on this is important. It's getting harder and it's only

going to get harder. And I'm only going to get harder. Build it and I will come. I don't understand why all the AI porn, everything has a dick. It's that time again. Welcome back. Hey, everybody. It's time to go big.

It's time to go big. Again, two episodes in a row? Man, big, it's not stopping. This is a lifestyle for all my big sippers out there. It's time to go big. It's time to go big. Interesting. Okay.

Another day, another sips with a Z. Still not getting paid. Still not getting paid. Go big, everybody. Everybody keep going big, okay? Oh, my gosh. It does it for the love of the art and the children. What flavor?

That was good. I know you're waiting for someone to ask you what's going on over there. So I guess we'll get it out of the way right up top. You look very anonymous. What's going on? Are you? What's going on? You're starting to hack people's computers?

Actually, didn't even need you to bring it up. It's science. I guess it's too late. Yeah, what is going on? Are you good? Are you good? Are you just like trying on the mysterious vibe? Sometimes you just got to switch things up, you know what I mean?

Honestly, Ders, I feel this. I feel this. I've been thinking I want to start to pivot to a little more mysterious. Like, I feel like I'm too out there. It's like coming off a little dorky. Maybe get a little... We agree. Yeah.

Maybe like introspect a little bit. We're right there with you. Yeah. Maybe it's time to just say less, you know? But like... No, Blake, you're saying... You're saying so less, okay? You hardly ever talk.

I'm giving you a chance. Well, you talk, but you don't have opinions on things. So you'd be like, oh, that's fun. Yeah, I talk way more than I would like to. I'd like to be very mysterious. I'd like people not to really know where I'm coming from. you know, like really. I guess, I mean, for a podcast, I think the whole point is for people to know where you're coming from.

I don't know. I might take a oath of silence. Who knows? Here's a lot. Okay. So it's just, it's just your two. Anders, what, dude, please explain. You can't just keep doing this.

Goodbye. I just, if you're watching this on Netflix, maybe you understand what's going on. I'm watching it right now and I don't. And if you're listening, you have, you truly have no idea. Well, it's... He's fully hooded. And this is just a perfect example of Adam just not having control. He doesn't understand it.

He has to call it out. He doesn't allow us to be mysterious. Why do we have to be so opinionated and out there? How about I be me, you be you, ba-a-bing-bada-boom, forget about it. That's true, dude. Well, he does have a point if all three of us... I just put on a fucking windbreaker. I'm sorry.

were you wearing the other day with the chain fucking hat. I just have the hood up, because I do. Yeah, but you're very quiet. You're being all mysterious. I just wanted to know, like, is there a backstory to this mysterious complex that you have? He's just vibed. No, Mr. Hollywood executive, it doesn't need a backstory.

It just is what it is. He's just vibing. There's no mythology. But Adam is right. If we're all mysterious, it will be a pretty boring podcast because it is audio. Unless you're watching on Netflix. which we support that. In which case,

it still might be a boring podcast. If we're all just kind of quiet. If we're all just quiet, being mysterious. Sort of brooding. So do you need the hood down? I don't need the hood up. No, no.

You can keep the hood up. I just didn't know if you were doing like a bit or a character this episode or like what you were doing. I had a character, but forget it now. That's right. It seemed like you had a character and we're ready to go with something

because you catch doing like this and like, I was like, oh, is he a box? I think I just was here. That's what it is. Yeah, you were like not showing your eyes, but then you kind of were doing like little jabs. And also, yeah, you don't wear hoods a lot. You're like not really a hoodie guy.

You kind of just like collars or windbreaker, no hood. All right. See, guys, this is the mastermind behind. We got to talk about something. I put up a hood Now suddenly you guys can't shut up And we got 10 minutes in the bank Gotcha bitch

Okay Wow thank you Ders Thank you for that premium content man This is real much You're welcome This is what Netflix Why they shelled out the cash for us So we can be on their platform

They're like I hope Ders puts on a hood And then doesn't say much This is important God damn That shit's important. Adam, the brilliance is Adam, they would have never thought of it. Yeah, that's true. Oh, God, of course not.

This is what I bring to the table. The algorithm would not have thought of that. It would not have thought of that. The goddamn algorithm. And by the way, don't you kind of want to watch a podcast where a guy looks like this the whole time? Like, Sia. Fuck it. Wait.

You know, you know, Sia, her hair just is like this? Yeah. Oh, yes. You're speaking of the artist Sia who had like that huge, like, the crazy thing. Yeah. What happened to Cia? Yeah, I'm talking about freaking see you. Well, she was just on an episode of company retreat.

Wait, what? Of jury duty company retreat. Oh, did she pull up? Freaking see ya. She pulled up in an episode. Yeah, dude. I haven't watched the new season. Oh, you got to watch it.

It's great. You loving it. Really? You're a fan. I actually, Jake Samanski, who directed every episode. Yes, we love him. He asked me to host there for your. consideration.

They're like Emmys campaign. Okay. A brunch or whatever it was. Yeah. It was sick. It was like at the roof of this hotel and it's really nice and I hosted it. Were there big sips there? Big Sips had to have been there.

I didn't see them, but any great establishment has big Sips ready to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool, go off. But yeah, so I watched, I binge watched all of it. And then there's also like behind the scene stuff that you. can watch on Amazon. It was really, it was cool. I don't want to give anything away.

Because it is like a, it is a, it's a fucking marvel what they pull off. Yeah. It's hilarious. So the premise is jury duty was the first season on Amazon. And it was essentially their jurors and they, everyone's in on the bit. Everyone's an actor, except for one guy. And so the, the, the, even the judges. an actor.

Yeah. Ike's dad. Eich Baron Holtz's dad. Which is so cool. He's such a cool guy. So then the crime, obviously, is all fake,

and they made it crazy, and it was really, really good. But then you're like, are they going to do, it's called jury duty? Are they going to do it again? So what they did,

which was smart, it's still jury duty, but it's jury duty company retreat. And it's this company, it's this hot sauce company, rocking grandma's hot sauce. They just sent me.

Dude, I got, I got it. I got it. They sent me a pack and it's actually kind of freaking good. Have you tried it? I did not bust it open yet. Yes.

I put some on some tacos the other day. There's four different flavors. I kind of like the smoky one. I'm like, this is legit. I will give up one joke and I hope it doesn't ruin it for anyone. But just watch the damn thing. But there's a rock and grandma. They're like doing this big presentation to the investors.

And the rock and grandma is supposed to like rock out on the, the guitar, but then it just looks like she's jerking off when the hand movement. So she's just going like, bro. Dude, hey, I already love it. I already love it. Dude, it's fantastic. I'm about to tap in the whole season. So for this, instead of a juror, it is an intern at their company retreat.

At their company. And they're about to do a company retreat. And they're going to be taken over by a larger company. And then they, you know, so it's, there's a lot going on. But it's much larger in scale than the jury duty. So it was cool. Yeah, but they, they switch out the whole cast, too. Like, everybody's new and all that.

It's got to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta be. They blew up their spot. It's like punked. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Or like even, like, before that kind of like this similar idea, do you remember,

what was it like the Joe Schmo's show? Do you remember that? Yeah. Yep. Brian Keith Etheridge. Yeah. It was like a fake. wrote it or co-created it or something.

He was in it, I think. Kristen Weig was on it? Kristen Weig was on it? Is it Weig or wig? I say weig. I think it might be Kristen Weig. Is it Weak? I think it might be Weig. It might be Weig.

Kristen Weig. You say Kristen Whig? There's two eyes, isn't it? Yeah. BKE.K.E. He was the showrunner and starred, who also, Brian Keith Etheridge, also a writer on Workaholics. That's right. That's right.

And he was the showrunner of the Jillroner. Shmo show. Yeah. Was that on... Spike? Comedy Central or where was that? Spike. Spike TV.

Yeah! They know dudes. Spike. Dude, that was... That was like old school reality show. I watched the first episode of the very first real world the other day. Sure. I just pulled it up because I'm like, what the hell was it?

Are you a drug dealer? Dude, it is crazy to go back and watch. Is that the first episode? We're her... She's got a pager and then she's like, are you a drug dealer? She's like, that's racist. You're from the country? Yeah, she's like, for...

Yeah, she's from Tennessee or something. Do you guys know how old I am? Yeah, Ders. I mean, the fact that Ders knows every, every part of those first few seasons. Dude, Heather B is a legend. It is wild that you just pulled that, like, out of nowhere, like. The commercial aired constantly where she's like, are you a drag dealer? It's kind of crazy, though, like, because reality TV has gone through such a, like, a evolution or de-evolution.

They want to do. I'm putting my hood back on. Even then, you can tell the shit was still pretty scripted. They're like, oh, like, let's plant this moment so that they talk about this or whatever. But, like, it's really cool to go back and watch that stuff because it's such a time capsule. What's a little white country girl's name? Eric Neese was about about her. Yeah, and I might have talked about this on another podcast, but I was a road rules guy.

Yeah, road rules rocked. I love road rules. Rocked. Just because it was sick. They're like all in this RV. They're on like a little road trip together. It was fucking cool. Now they're running our country.

Fuck yeah. Spencer Pratt. He wasn't road rules. No, he's not on it. Sorry. I wish. No, but the first time I saw Theo Vaughn. Oh, that's right.

He was in Road Rules. And when I met him at the comedy store like fucking almost 20 years ago now, I was shook. Yeah. I was like, holy shit. Oh, yeah. He was like a true star to me. And he was like a baby.

He was a baby on that show, right? He was 18 or something, right? Yeah. Yeah, he was a young book. It was him. It was the blonde dude with the big hair. Cat? Kit.

Kit, who's now a host on like extra or some shit. Dude, not everybody, but you'd be surprised. The Miz, I think. The Miz was definitely from there. Yeah, the Ms. was definitely from there. Was the Ms. Road Rules? No, the Ms. was um the miss was real world was he i think so he might have been real world real world road

rules all stars who knows i think he i feel like he would walk around a house in like the costumes that's all i can picture he was real world isaac sane yeah was lois in the first season of road rules where he's like i don't have to do shit but stay black and die i was like this dude's cool that is tight there's a lot of very legend And that was like when he said that, I remember when he said that, I thought he was the first person to ever say that. Right.

Oh, wait. He didn't write that. Because, you know, I was a kid. So you're like, oh, my God. Like, that's so cool to say. Like, fuck. It was Paul Mooney though. Yeah.

Yeah. And for sure wasn't. No. Yeah. So I guess that's the trick to go on a reality show and then you just sort of repeat really iconic. Really famous bits from stand-up.

Comedians. Somebody stop me. And then you're not saying you're the only one to ever say that, but you're just... I just want to party. You just do our soundboard. Loose butthole. Yeah. This dude's iconic.

What is the one that my dad says? Cowabunker. Kumbaya. How do you not know the most iconic drop? Yeah. You're right. You're right.

It is... This one is... Coombaya. Cumbaya. That one is... That one is... flame. Your dad is a human soundboard. It's pretty fucking cool. He is. He's nothing but soundboard bits with that guy. Trying to have a heart to heart is hard with him. Dad, I just want to let you know

that I love you so much. And having you and mom here, it means the world to me that you guys want to spend, kumbaya. Kumbaya. Tide blood hole. Okay. Adam, are you a resident of L.A. or are you a resident of Orange County? I'm a resident of both places. Hmm, go off king. Go off king. But who do you vote for? Like, what's your main residence? Oh, we're talking voting.

Let's go, bro. I think we split the diff. It's a house divided. Oh. So I think I am in Orange County, my vote. And I think Chloe's vote is in L.A. So she gets to put one in for our guy. Who's our guy?

Who's our guy? I think you know. Who's our guy? Who's our guy? Who's our guy? Who's our guy? Who's our guy? Pratt.

It's time for a Pratt fall. Brat. I watched the debates. Pratt needs to fall, bro. I turned on the debates. I thought the, I thought it was the roast. I'll tell you. There's no difference anymore.

It's crazy. His campaign videos are insane. It's just AI shit. And you're like, we need to bring, you know, the entertainment business back to L.A. And then it'll just be I agree. Agree. AI. Yes. But then it'll just be AI actors in the

video of him being like we got to bring the entertainment business back to L.A. It's science. It's an all AI video. It actually, it is crazy. Like you are right. Everything is so, like nothing is more elevated than the next, like the governor like all the shit. It might as well just be a roast.

Like it doesn't matter if it's politicians or comedians. Everybody is operating at the same wavelength right now. Nobody feels like smart or elevated on TV anymore. Like, it's kind of a bummer, I think, a little bit. Because there's no decorum. They used to... There's no decorum.

They used to, like, respect each other. Shout out, hey, points for decorum. Yes, points. And for extra points. Spell decorum. Decorum. Oh, I... D-E-C-O-U-R-M.

Okay. Todd. All right. Is that right? Todd? Yeah. Points. Todd? Todd?

D-E-C-O-R-U-M. I said U-R-M. I might have fucked it up. Hey. Yes, yes, points. You got them anyways, man. You were in the wheelhouse. I don't know.

I don't know if I said it right or not, honestly. There's no way to tell. We're not recording, are we? We're in a bizarre... Pull the hood up. Yeah, put the hood back on it. Yeah, we're in a bizarre time. But also, it's just like, when people are smart,

they're told to talk, like, dumb, like simplify shit. Yeah, that's it, Adam. Yeah, get it. And so it's like a lose-lose. You either have to, like, talk like an idiot from the schoolyard or you're fucked. No, man, fuck that. Spencer Pratt. By the way, like, I mean, he's so dumb sounding.

It's crazy. Polly charge, let's go. He just is. He would fit right in here. Yes, he's definitely us. Like, I know. It makes me kind of want to run and go, yeah, no, me too. You could.

Me too, but better, dude. Counselman, dude. He says he's going to do this. I'm going to do it better and faster. Yeah. You do a really good impression. You did it the other day. I look just as tired as he does.

That motherfucker looks hard. Yeah, and he's just like, no. It's always, he's a little out of breath when he's talking. Dude, because he's worked up. He's passionate. No, Karen Bass, she's an idiot. And I wouldn't be. I'd get in there and I'd fix the problems.

There's homeless people all over the streets. Just lighting fire. and injecting their eyeballs with supermen. Super meth was an eye opener. That's a robocop drug. If I were the mayor, that wouldn't even happen. Same. And you're like, well, how would it not happen?

It wouldn't. I'd fix it. She made it happen. But how would you change it? I'll tell you what I wouldn't do. What she did? What'd she do? She didn't do.

Yeah, dude. And then people that are like, finally, someone speaking the truth. And you're like, what? That's the wildest part. There's when I'll know we've hit the peak. During the debates, when Homegirls talking, Spencer puts the mic up to his ass and just goes, right in the mic.

Dude, and it'd be like, everybody would be like, oh. Oh. They would be like that. Gotcha, bitch. You know what it's like breathing air in Los Angeles right now? Well, that's funny, though, so he might. I know. I would vote off that viral moment.

Sometimes you've got to vote off the viral moment, dude. Maybe. It is wild. And I'm, I have no time for this, but it does make me want to do like a real-life comedy sketch going, I would actually do what he would do too, but different. And everyone would be like, oh, I get what he's doing. And Spencer does seem kind of stupid now.

Like the fact that nobody goes, what are this dude's qualifications? And look, I don't know what he's been up to. What's he been up to? Sure. He refuses to tell us. I don't know. No, I guess I just, I don't even know. I know he was on TV, but I just don't even know if he's had to delegate, like, any sort of responsibility to people working for him on any scale.

I don't know what he's been up to. That's my thing. He's got a sick airstream, and that's all I know. Is it if I had to get one of those, it'd be an airstream, but they're $200,000. I take comfort. I like when, like, people are smarter than me. I'm, like, hyped on that. When my leader's, like, I'm like, oh, shit.

So, you obviously, most people. You go to the grocery store. the manager at the grocery store Not even the manager The kid that you're like Hey man Where's the peanut butter No no no

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas? guys. I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Hey, guys. It's Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and Anders Holm from the podcast, this is important. Woo!

Mainstream media is full of crude depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We The Enhouse is the podcast that's changing that.

I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. Weyenhous is a two-time webby and signal award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Witcher, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to Weythian Howes on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Nobody likes when a question is asked and a politician goes, well, I, I can't say yes or no.

It's complicated and they get into like a 10-minute diatri that covers all their bases. It's a yes or no. And he goes, he answered yes or no, which is refreshing to people who just want a simple answer. Right. But that doesn't mean his answer's right. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Because there are questions that there are no yes or noes because it's too complicated. It's nuanced. It's nuanced. Nuisance is great. But I do this nuance.

There's a decorum. There's a decorum. You ask me to spell nuance. I don't even know where to begin. There has to be a decorum to this nuance. I don't want to get into the fucking nuance either. Like there's a certain scale where all of a sudden too much nuance. Looking at them now, I'm like, how?

Dude, why didn't we also run a three-headed monster? Can we run as three people? Dude, can we run the three of us together for mayor? and we'll call ourselves the super mayor. This is jury duty season three. It would be fucking tied, dude. Three-headed mare. Oh, shit.

We're one of us lax and skill, the other also lacks in skill. Yeah. My whole thing is like, our smart head is durs, and I feel like... And he can't tell time. He can't tell time.

Let's give it the old college try. Necky grandma! You could put all three of us together and we're as good as Spencer Pratt. No, I would say we're probably better than Spencer. You go toe to toe with him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

What are we doing? Here's what I'll say. He remembered, like, memorized, like, seven facts. Mm-hmm. I think I'm good for two or three. Yeah. I can't do numbers. It's science.

Yeah, you are really bad at memorization, which is your main job. So you might have to work on that improv. Like, is every debate this year this? Is all the, like, people, like, trying to become mayors in every county, like, fucking this cool? No, no, no.

This L.A., this cool? Like, SAC? L.A. one is... Rock and roll? Extra nuts. Yeah. Right. But, like, is it?

I mean, dude, the New York one had a... There's the memory. A Guardian Angel dude. Oh. Who I actually thought made some sense. Which what... I was like, this guy kind of is... fed up and he gets it in a way that's even like he makes Spencer Pratt like or Spencer Pratt makes

him seem like a genius right that's just wild so the other guys like been around lived started Guardians Angels that's kind of sick and Guardians Angels remind me they were like the guys with the red jackets in the subway the berets no they wore like red berets and like tank tops and shit they looked like it basically looked like the Warriors movie yes if you have any trouble in the subway system in the 80s when it was really dangerous in New York. They were essentially like vigilantes who were like, we walk around and if people are fucking around and like

hassling you, we'll fucking step to him. Yeah, we'll fuck you up. Curtis Sliwa. Sliwa. It was Jojo Slewa's uncle. Jojo Slewa. Hold up. Fucking Jojo Slewa.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. No, she's cool, dude. No, she isn't. But like that dude had lived a life. had done a thing. She's not.

She's the worst. Loved it. Well, that's dope, yeah. Also, I don't know. I don't know if he should be the mayor, you know? I just want some... Where's our just smart old guys? Or women.

Well, dude, this is what's so fascinating to me is that we shit on the guy who makes all the malls so hard. Because we're like, fuck that guy. What do we want? Fountains everywhere. I'm like, fountains have been in L.A. long before his mall. Yeah. But now, that guy seems kind of good.

This is what happens. We push away people who are, like, kind of not our favorite. And then we end up with absolute fucking knuckleheads. And then we go, where's the mall guy? And the mall guy's like, you think I'm going to fucking do this again? He's like, I'm not, I'm not running. What do you mean? I made up Dave and Busters and fucking Torrance.

That is what he said. That is what he said. Yeah. It's wild, dude. Spencer Pratt also had a video where he's like, I'm talking to engineers. I'm talking to like the smartest engineer. And he has a crew of like 15 other engineers. And they left L.A.

because it's too hard to build here. I'm going to get rid of all those restrictions. By the, while he's doing this interview, there's an AI video plane. Hold up. And it's of a futuristic city of L.A. Of like buildings that maybe can't even be built because they're fucking from the future.

And he's like, and we're going to do like really cool stuff that you won't see anywhere else and you'll be like... It's just... It'll be like, people will come here. and be like, this is the most beautiful city in the world because of our cool architecture. And then in the comments, it's like, way to go. Yes, make our city beautiful again.

And I'm like... It's wild. It's science. It's an AI video, you dumb fuck. It's like all my parents who it's, you know, it's like my dad will watch a video. All my parents. It's my... We know how he was raised.

Right? They watch these videos and they can't tell it's AI. Yeah. My dad will watch like fishing videos and it's just like, a guy catching a megaladon and my dad's like Jesus Christ look at this I'm like yeah dad that's not real obviously well this is where it gets dangerous because like now like my stepdad's kind of getting getting hip to it so he's like now when he watches videos he's like that one was AI and I'm like I actually I don't think that one was AI right right right they try and get ahead of it I think

that one was real dude yeah it was real I think I think that was a true life thing happen in there. Well, what's crazy is my mom can't tell. It'll be like the kind of AI where they're like, their mouth never really shut, you know? And you could, you could just tell when they're talking. And my mom is like, I'm like, Jesus, so AI. And my mom is like, how can you

tell? And I'm like, because their mouth doesn't shut properly. Because they have 800 T. Because they're looking into the camera like this. Yeah. No, it's getting, it's getting harder. And it's only going to get harder. It is. And I'm only going to get harder. I'm going to get, now we're talking.

Because when you get the AI AI porno. Tyco, one. The future is going to be, if there is one. The future is NAR. It will be so NAR. It will be so NAR. I just don't understand why people want this so bad.

What, AI? Yeah. No one wants AI. Only the people building AI want AI. The rest of us are going. Everyone wants it. People are all using it. Because now that it's here.

If you don't, yeah, exactly. Exactly. If you don't want it, why do we use it? But that is this, that's what happens nowadays. It's like, we all are like, I don't like it. But then, like, people still use it. You're buying it. We're buying into it. Like, you're using it.

You have to say, I don't like it. I'm not going to use it. And then the theory is, well, if you're not using it, you're going to get left behind because everyone else is going to use it and get whatever work you're doing done in 10 minutes instead of 10 hours. Yeah, but fuck that. And so it's, it reminds me of the pandemic. It reminds you of boosters. It reminds you of boosters.

Sorry, not boosters, but the vaccines where it's like, the idea of our vaccine is that everyone has to do it. And some people were like, I don't want to do it. The idea for combating AI is for no one to do it. But everyone's like, well, I want to do it. I'm going to. I'm going to do it. It's like a reverse vaccine. Yeah.

The one, the ones that, no, I like it to like ask a simple, ask a question. Put your hood up there. It can really answer you like a human would answer in a way that Google sometimes you really have to get in the weeds and like, that's not exactly what I wanted. It gathers all the data at once, right? That to me is helpful. What I don't like...

Googling. You mean using it like a Google? Sort of, but it would really break it down for you in the way that it's like you're talking to a person as opposed to asking Google. I don't want it to talk to me like a person. I think that's fucking dumb. Yeah, like what about like research and finding

is important, like you have to... Great question, Blake. But what I don't like is the video component. I'm like, who asked for this? Like a bunch of, like, fake... Video? Oh, slop stuff?

Yeah. Yeah, but that's... But now it's getting, like, real. Really good. Cumbaya. Yeah, but that's the most fun thing for anybody anywhere, especially if you're 10 years old,

you're like fucking slop, slop, just making slop. Sure, like imagine... The fucked up thing for me is that we're basically, we're letting these search engines, just farm all the intelligence that humans came up with. And no one's getting paid on that back end, right?

Yeah. No, they're not. Like, if you have a farm and someone's like, hey, we need corn, you go, great, I'm going to work and you're going to buy my corn and then people are going to eat. People are just eating your corn and you're like, well, I don't understand. They're like, people are eating over here. And I go, well, yeah, but like, it's my corn. Not anymore.

Gotcha, bitch. No. So, like, how does that work? My sister works for a giant tech company. Demon. And she's training the little robot dogs. She's training AI to take her job. Right.

I'm living in a nightmare. Like every day she's like feeding the AI information to take her job. This is what I would do and it goes cool. Great. Good to know. She's like, any day now, I'm going to be let go because AI is just going to be like, okay, thanks, Brittany. We've got it. And you're like, mm-uh.

But even then, my mind goes to, okay, are they fucking cashing her out? Because she's, she's the prototype. Like, she is the brain that they, they drew from. Like, no. No, not at all, exactly. No, Blake, they're not cashing her out. I know, nobody.

So why are we, like, letting go of all of this just to the robots for no, anything? Because it helps me schedule. It helps me whatever. Because someone is getting cashed out. Someone is, you know, yeah, it's the fucking, it's terrible. I don't know, man. And like, throw the hood up. I wish I had a hood, dude.

We should have hood it up the whole time. They keep talking about, I'm saying, dude. Bro, we're going to dark. They keep saying, like, you're going to be able to travel and, like, you could just paint all day. But people need shit to do. Yeah, people need jobs. People need to feel in demand. Like, well, that is what.

Do you have any plants? That is what Zuckerberg said. He was like, well, this will, this will. this will you people won't need jobs that they'll they'll be able to have all their times to spend how they want to and you're like no no no no people need people need to pay for shit dude people have mortgages and their kids need to eat and right that's the part of the equation like and also if you don't have a job we're running in theory you're alcohol running yeah in theory not having a job is great but not having a job means you're going to drink big six you either turn into an alcoholic

or you get absolutely shredded. Now it's feeling a little targeted. It's pandemic, where you just are like, got nothing to do, what am I going to do? And then you turn into something. No, wait, the pandemic was sick. The pandemic was sick. I know, but the pandemic was...

A lot of people were sick. They died. I know. People died. It lasted a year and change, right? This is for the rest of humanity. And that's just the short end. The short end.

I did so many puzzles. Sooner later, the rest of the rest of the rest of the world. robots, the AI is going to build robots. They're going, this is Terminator 2. I know. I just watched it with my kid. It's happening. The AI is building robots, and then the robots are going to fuck us, and we're going to let it.

No, no, they're going to have that out there. No, we're not going to let them. We're going to give the old college try. And then they're going to slit our throats. Everything is building towards we are going to go to war with robots. And everybody's going to be stoked, and we're all going to band together and be like, Humans. Hell yeah, dude. Finally, we're all friends again.

And the robots were fighting an enemy that doesn't have to eat or sleep. Yeah. The robots are going to fucking annihilate us, dude. In ways we thought in the back of our mind that they extracted and they're like, oh, I know what would really hear. If we just like peel their butt holes off like stickers and they're going to do that to us, it's going to be bad, dude. See, but the fact that you just said that, Blake, the fact that you just said that into a podcast, This can now be mine, and now it's part of their greater brain trust.

Brain trust. They're going to have us lined up, and they're going to just start peeling our butt holes off, like, scratch. You will be Anderson. Scratch and sniff, bro. You will be Anderson. Well, I was like, okay, so I was like, I forget how I got down that road, but, like, Vlad the Impaler, right? He would, like, cut off. Does the guy who interviews rappers?

No, no, no, no, no, no. like really old school Vlad the Impaler. Who was Vlad the Impaler? I don't quite. I don't fully know. You should just... Is he the guy who put people's heads on the walls? Yes, but he would basically, like, cut off the whole army's head, like, of his opponents

and then, like, put him on stakes so when, like... Vlad the Impaler, Vladimir Guerrero? No, that's... He's a... He's a baseball player. He was a... Dominican former professional baseball player. No, no, no, not him.

16 years. He was the guy that was Dracula was based off. Right. Oh. Yeah. And he would basically like wipe out opposing armies

and then just cut their heads off and put all their like, or not even cut their heads off. He'd just put the steak like through their butthole, through their mouth. So when you entered a town, it was just like,

Oh my God. What the fuck am I going into? That's what robots are going to do to us, but peeling off her buttholes. This is what happens when we let you talk. But in the meantime, like AI porno, it seems like it's going to be cool.

In the meantime, allegedly. Goodbye. Yeah, but like, I'm not going to click on it until it's available. Like, they try and make you sign up for a whole website and make it a whole lifestyle. Hey, guess what? It's not a lifestyle. It's not going to be my lifestyle yet. It's not a lifestyle.

It can't be. It cannot be your lifestyle. When they try and make it a lifestyle, I'm like, guys, this is a pastime. This is a hobby. This is a... It's a bagel. And this may me the ships talking. This is a...

Well, I'll take a peek. I got 20 minutes to kill. Let me take a peek here. Yeah, if the video was already available. But what they want you to do is like build your own super... No, you build it. I don't want to get in the weeds, dude.

This is like when I go into subway and making my own sandwich. And this may be the sips talking, but I'm not trying to do that, man. I'm not trying to get in the weeds here. How about AI? You know what I like. You know what I've clicked on. So just make an amalgam.

Build it. Build it and I will come. Build it and I will come. Yes, points! And do not give it a dick. Do not give it a dick. I don't understand why all the AI porn, everything has a dick. Everybody's coming.

Agreed. I don't know. I want to see one. I got to see one. We'll see. Preferably with pagroney. See, you're laughing too hard. Sorry, sorry.

It's okay. Sorry. I'm back. It's the Sips talking. See, they must, the algorithm must know something that we don't know. That's why they all have dicks. The algorithm knows. No, no, no, but they're fishing. They're fishing. They're fishing. I don't know. You've got to have a worm to fish. And I click on something because I go, whoa, that demon and that elf look like they're getting it on.

I don't know the elf has a humongous vanity cock to. Right. And they don't show that in the thumbnail. So here, I think Todd just threw something in the chat, a 21-year-old Texas student builds an AI-only fans model using only $400 MacBook earns $43,000 a month. And by the way, this is the thing. That happens and everyone goes,

this is amazing. It's going to be amazing for 10 years. And then everything is going to be Mad Max. In a bad way. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Like right now we are like bearing the fruits of that, but it will sour very quickly. We're being lured. We're being lured.

See, well, this is just this, this dude, this 21-year-old dude in his college dorm room. I'm a dude. And he's bent over, like, look at like this. And then AI turns him into a very sexy chick in her underwear. Are you clicking on these links?

I'm a dude. Yeah, always dude. I click on every league I see. The fourth link? Yeah, which one was that? Which one was that? The guy bent over. The bottom one, the AI generated person only fan of it.

Set your choices, reject all. Yeah, why are we? And I'm in. Every time I click these, it's like, warning, morning. And so now this guy when he moves the body of this woman is there Like that's what you see if you're Oh yeah

You see it's him But AI turns it turns him into her So he could just be like yes yes I actually saw something similar I'm watching it's trying to sound down Yeah what are you So you could be jerking off to this woman This sexy woman

Yes It's just a dude in his living room It's AOL all over again I'm a dude Yeah, I saw something. There was a, I think it was a lady who was putting on, it's basically a filter. It's like a live filter. Yeah, and she was like this really hot chick, but then like something happened where it glitched and it revealed who was really behind it.

And then like she lost all of her followers. But not all of them. Not all of them. Not all of them. Some of them were like, yo. I promise you there's one guy who goes, I knew it. Hell yeah, dude. Perfect.

Hell yeah. Can't reach the mouth. Can't reach the track pad. Perfect. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart. IR. Radio. Canada's number one streaming app for radio and podcasts,

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey, Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one. Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something?

I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen. to me, right? Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. You know it. 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-I-Tour.com before they sell out. Can't wait to party with you guys. Canadian style. Mainstream media is full of crude depictions of the unhoused. Stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith.

We The In-House is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator. and host, and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. We'd be in Houses a two-time Webby and Signal Award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. a street doctor turned influencer

whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to Weythian House on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's going to get weird. It's only going to get weirder, dude. We might as well build little avatars. No, that's too much.

It's too much. Be a cool frog man or something. and just go, like, why not? Why is it even... He means, like, you make an avatar for yourself so you can walk around the virtual land as a frog guy. The fact that you didn't... If you were richer, Blake would have bought a bunch of NFTs.

If Blake was richer, he would have... No, I didn't... He would have got, like, a Borde A per... No, that never appealed to me. That had seemed silly. NFTs are actually... The interesting thing that I do think was cool about NFTs is that if you were an artist and you're...

you made a piece of art, every time it sold, you got paid. As opposed to you selling it for, let's say, $50,000 because you're successful. And then, five years later, as you get more successful, somebody sells it for $250, you don't get any of that money. You know what I'm saying? But what of that ever made any noise beyond the apes? Like, I never knew anything beyond that. That's a good question.

Would there be noise? What do you think, Adam? As far as the noise. Thank you guys. NFT guys. the B-Peeple guy that I met in Charleston, we went to his like

headquarters his fucking computer lab and the people he sold his he sold his NFT the one it was the one that went for like $67 million or 87 or something that

God damn and then six months later it's worth like $200 yeah right it's worth nothing but here's my question imagine me and the guy that paid the 67 million because you're like this is the future. Look, look up how much

people actually sold his art work for. What do you think don't you think smart people would go, hey, I'm creating this whole new world of art. Let's get in on it. You've got $67 million. Buy my art for $67 million.

I'll give it right back to you. But we've created the idea that this stuff is actually selling. And people go, I want to be, they bought $67 million. I got $5 million. Let me get into this. And now you've just made it. $5 million. Yeah.

That's probably... Yeah, I don't think that's what happened, but... Some dude lost a lot of money. I'm just saying, isn't that how art works? That's insider trading, dude. Yeah, but that's art. He sold it for $69.3 million at Christie's in March 2021. Yeah.

And then also sold another one for nearly $29 million. And then that's it. I talked with the guy. He was like, yeah, it's essentially dead now. But I... I was able to get mine, and so I was there at the right time. And I'm like...

And what's he doing now? I know I would be doing absolutely nothing. He owns like an artist compound in Charleston, and... Yeah, that's cool. And then I think just throws parties there and stuff. Yeah, I'm like, oh, so he, like, is actually down for the arts,

but he's really just raging. He's just kind of party. Yeah, no, he's down for the arts. He does all kinds of weird shit. I just didn't even... Yeah, I don't know. I didn't tap into that. He, like, makes...

those masks that look exactly like people. So you're just like... Oh, those are pretty cool. We're at this party and just all of a sudden, like Jeff Basil's is there, and you're like, fucking Jeff Bezos is here. And you're like this crazy. But why is his head like a little extra big? Why is he on a bikini?

It was really off-putting. Those are actually cool. So Blake, you want to be a frog. Just get one of those masks and walk around. Yeah, honestly. How much do you think those masks cost? They're probably like... I think you can afford it.

You're on Netflix. You're on Netflix now? You think they're five grand? No. No. I bet they're more than that. $1,500. Really?

You don't think they're like $1,500? No. For a really, really, really, really good one? Well, you just said really, really, really, really three times. Like a really, really, really good ones. Yeah, I think you're right. The really, really, really good ones are that much? I'm talking about just the good ones.

No, I want really, really, really good. Well, you don't want that looks like a, like a Halloween costume. Yeah, no. No, no, I want it to look amazing. If Blake is going to go in blackface as Whoopi Goldberg, he wants to look exactly like Whoopi Goldberg. When did I ever say that? No, I know. I know that's the vibe that you're giving.

I said frog. I want to be a frog. I'm seeing a Trump mask here for 1,200. Okay. Okay. Realistic. I typed in realistic Trump mask. Pizza pizza.

I feel like I went to like DesignerCon in Pasadena and they had some pretty good masks. And it wasn't that much, but I feel like even then it's starting to, it's getting realer every. Yeah, well, if you want to be just like a random guy, you could, it seems like just for a couple hundred bucks, you could look really, really, really, really weird and scary. Which is scary. Okay, so wait, I'm getting confused. Maybe that's what we do for the next podcast. I think that's a great idea. That's great.

I think that's a great idea. heads. Let's just look completely different, but the mouth moves. The mouth moves. It's all about the mouth moving. For us, it's all about our mouths. This one's $600. I guess I'm like, if they're $10,000, I don't know who's buying them. Well, see, I want that one.

People. Who? People. Yes, people's doing it. Yeah, I guess you're right. Pets aren't really shopping like they used to. I'm still going to send it. I want the $10,000 because it's going to last, right?

Okay. You get, hey, do you know it'd be really funny? You get the 10 grand one. I'll get one that's about $10. That's from party city. Well, yeah. I remember finding out how much like real good wigs were and when I got into the business, the industry,

and shocked. Yeah, they can go for thousands and thousands of dollars. I wouldn't know I don't have a wig. Yeah, like $40,000 for like a legit movie star, for like if fucking Meryl Street, has like a, the devil bears prada, that's got to be a wig. And it's a centerpiece of the movie, right? That's a $40,000 wig.

Maybe more. That's, that's right. Well, because anytime that there's like a wig and it doesn't look, anytime there's a wig and it doesn't look good, then the movie tanks. Right. That shit's important. You know, then people are like, well, fuck this. The wig.

What movie is coming to mind? It's true. It's true. There's a Mark Wahlberg one where we had long hair. hair and I remember seeing the billboard and be like nah I'm good that ain't it I'm good what like yeah Dan Brown fucking those uh Tom Hanks movies I think they did well but I was like nah not gonna see it's a bad wig I ain't watching that nah you get your wig right get your wig right dude you better come correct with that wig Meryl Streep how much did you pay for that wig damn

we know we're talking devil wearer's product too let's see what Gemini says wait no we can't use See? You refused to look. I will say I did ask Gemini, Blake, during the Trubidor show, he sent us a photo of these leather pants and was like, should I buy these leather pants? And then the next day he goes to buy the leather pants. Apparently, they weren't good enough leather pants. No, they weren't tight. I know he just wanted me and Isaac to go pay for him. But I know.

It's not the case you saw. I sent photos of me wearing them. They were very baggy. They were not cool. And then I go, okay. I guess I'll take care of it, even though Blake was the one that said he was going to take care of it. Wow, Adam is shouldered something.

That's cool. I get the drums. Into my phone. Adam was fueled by rage. Get the drums. I'll do it. Into my phone, I asked Gemini, and it was pretty cool. I go, hey, Gemini, what's the closest rock and roll style pants, fake leather pants near me?

And one point... You're looking ripped today, Adam. One point... 1.2 miles away was a place called Rocktown. And they had all the, if you're ever in Hollywood, Rocktown has all the rock and roll stuff. Send me a picture of you in those pants. Did you guys keep the leather pants?

I believe Isaac kept all of my clothes for Dalton to wear on Halloween. Damn. You guys didn't take the leather pants home? I forgot. I feel like you could rock those. I did. I didn't keep mine, but I definitely kept the fishing. I will say,

Oh, I don't think we talked about, I truly almost passed out. Mm-hmm. When we stood up to when we were fighting and we're about to break out in song. Unbeknownst to you, break out in song. We stood up and all of a sudden the room goes, whoa, whoa. Yeah. And I almost fucking passed out. Because the clothes were so tight?

Their pants? I think that vest, the pants weren't really that tight, but the vest itself was. was denim and it was really tight. Like through my midsection, I think when I stood up, something, something shifted. And like, you really, really thought you're about to, like, drop and hit your head. You didn't have any mention of it. I didn't see, like, that look in your eye or anything. Well, afterwards, I told you.

After the show, we talked about it. I know, but, like, I would think I would clock it as, like, your fellow Thespian. Well, because I was trying to, I was trying to gather myself because I knew that Will Forte was about to grab that guitar. And if he were to grab a guitar, I would have to be the first one to sing. How cool would it have been if we had like a real medical emergency and Will had to be there for it? And it was like, we have our first guess and Adam's just like twitching. I do feel like he would have just kept playing and been like, this is part of it, right?

This is part of the bit. By the way, you're supposed to like go up on like a perch on the stage. And if you got up there and just fainted into the crowd. Nosedive. Oh, you would have killed somebody. That would have been a catastrophe. Well, that's why I didn't jump up there right away, if you notice. I stood on stage for a second.

I did. I go, go to your perch. I kind of re-watch it. Yeah, I stood there, like, just like, now I've got to watch it. Yeah. For a second, and then all of a sudden, forte starts, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

And I'm like, dude. Got to get to my perch. It's just in slow-mo Dude, well, you pulled it off, man That's why you're fucking A legend mate I'm a lesbian You really

I remember doing like a one act where like I had to like Pretend to be dead On a live stage show But I was like You cast you as a dead body I can No lines But I had to like sit with my neck cranked like that

But it was like cutting off blood circulation And I could start to feel like my whole body tingling like I was going to truly pass out so so you're like you're dead but you're dead but you're like kind of like slowly like I'm like if I like

really move slow I have to dude like I'm truly going to pass out and actually be dead so you're like kind of like making you're I didn't pass out but I was damn close dude you just reminded me that, God, this is crazy.

God. This is when I was like, I don't know, 10, maybe 11. I was in some play for like the Westing game was like a book. And so they were like, read the book this week or whatever. I just didn't read the book, can't. And so then we get to like, we get to the casting. And they're like, so who wants to play who? And they're like, Honders, we think you should play this guy.

And this girl goes, oh, yeah, you'd be really good at that. And I was like, I don't know, fucking, I guess she gets. She fucking gets it. And then it's like a dude in a wheelchair who's got like down syndrome and doesn't talk or something. And so I'm in this play and I'm like, Murr. Oh, no.

And it's not supposed to be funny. But, you know, you put a little extra on it. The hood was up. But then after I got cast, I go, that fucking bitch said what? She let me think I was like, Like something? Bro.

She gifted you, though. You could have been... That's rough, though. That was like your Oscar moment, dude. If you would have took it seriously. Come on. Good point. Could it would have shut up.

Hey, thanks, dude. I like to see how you live. I wish we knew each other. Let's run for mayor. So in the book, in the book, Christos, Chris, is a 15-year-old boy who uses a wheelchair due to a degenerative muscle disease. Oh, yeah. He didn't have Down syndrome.

Can I tell you something? Just the way you played it? This was 30 something years ago. I just remember he was like, he like couldn't talk and was in a fucking wheelchair. And was this like the lead or? No, it's like a ensemble. You're fucking disaster, my guy. Don't even remember what the book was about.

Yeah, I don't know, Christos. I don't think we read that. We did not read that over here. No, I've never heard of that book. What is the West. The Westing game. The Westing game. They need to start burning some of these books.

This should have been banned, I'll tell you that. Dude. I like, this is the kind of shit I'm into, though. Like, I bet this book is good. Yeah. I bet this book is fucking good. What book? The Westing game?

Why do you say that? Just because if you're reading it in school. See, this is what I'm saying, Blake. You've got to say more words. Okay. Because, like, I remember, like, there was a time when I, like, went on Insta stories and I'm like, because I found this book in a used bookstore where I'm like, This was the first, like, novel I read outside of school, and I posted it.

What book? It was called The Legend of the Blue Lights or something. But then everybody started to post the first books they ever read. And a lot of people said it was this book called The Giver. And I read it, and that book was actually fucking cool, dude. It was like an easy read, went right through it. But it was like... The Giving Tree?

No, it was called The Giver. Super is pictures and shit Right? Yeah, I believe you. Yeah, no, you said, you posted about it a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it was called The Giver. Yeah, I think you're right. I do love someone who reads books listening to us go,

books can actually be kind of sick. Dude, they're sick. Of course they are. I know, and you're like, it was actually a quick read because Well, it's a why is for children. Middle schoolers? Well, but it would, no, but it wasn't, it's not like, it's not like, you know, It's not like the stories you read at bed, in bed at night.

It's not fucking busy world. Well, yeah, it's not for like elementary school kids, but for middle school-aged kids that can read. It was kind of mind-blowing, dude. The giver has big concept. If it's not a Calde-Cata Award winner. It was a chapter book. So, yeah.

Yes. But it was good. It was fucking good, man. And it, like, ended. It had, like, the ending, like, kind of makes you think. And I'm like, what are more? books like this that are... This is exactly what I'm saying. Keep going.

Any reader out there's like... Dude, you have to run for mayor. I can maybe win. Yo, these laws are tight. I bet the Westin game is pretty good. I've got a feeling it might be pretty good. Check it out. It's not hatchet by Gary Polson. I'll say that. It's definitely not. Which is another one that was mentioned quite a bit. The hatchet, of course, is a goaded book.

You guys ever read White Fang? I'm real. White Fang is... I think I saw the movie. No, no, no. No, white thang. A white thing? White thing? You guys are re-white-thang?

No, that was only at your school. Who wrote that? I'm still writing it. Bullet. You are so dumb. Damn, white. White thing. That was my nickname was White Thang.

Anders Holmes released in a new young adult novel called White Fang. I'm going to have AI rewrite White Fang, and I'm just going to go, whatever you think White Fang is, Write it. Go. Please write it. Plug and play. Okay, maybe AI isn't so bad, and I am voting for Spencer Pratt. Every once in a while, AI will deliver something pretty funny.

No, it knows what it's doing. It's a good time. Any takebacks, any apologies, any epic slams today? I'm sorry what we said about Spencer Pratt. That's just not okay, dude. We can't do that. Yeah, why can't we? This was actually very politically charged.

You know, it's funny. It made me think when, when, Chappelle when Trump won maybe the first time and Chappelle went on SNL and he was like, you know I didn't vote for this guy but I wish him the best. That did not work out well. Depending on, hey, depending on where how you lean

But you know, the part of me that wants to be like, do you have political perennia? What is the penis disease? Paironi. Do you have political perroni? Yeah, which way do you lean? But the part of me wants to say like, I mean, hell, give him a shot. It's like, no, stop.

No. There's no shot. Do not give that guy a shot. He's just going to be like, can I go on ride-alongs and shoot people? You think I'm joking. You think I'm joking, but I promise you Trump's been like, if I could get into one of those tanks, I'd do it, and I'd fucking blow up a school myself. This is where I think it really, like,

spawns from is, like, as we talk about it, I'm like, what sucks is like, I bet if we collectively were like, yo, Spencer Pratt, what's up? Like, if you get in power, I bet we could do a lot of fun stuff together, right? and he'd be like, fuck, yeah, I'm bringing you with me. I promise you, he'd be like, you guys are fucking nerds. Everybody's coming.

I promise you. I bet. I bet. He was like an evil reality high school show high school guy. Yeah, and he was like a super rich. He wouldn't fuck with us. Yeah, I don't know anything about him, to be honest. And he seems like he wouldn't fuck with us.

Yeah. I bet he's, everybody's coming. Yeah. everybody's coming. All right. Well, I'd have nothing to take back. I have nothing to take back for this. Blake, you're the only one who gets to vote then?

Big mouth bass. Big mouth bass. That's pretty funny. How has he not called her that? The gift. Oh, and also, don't forget John Logsden. Oh, is that the guy who recorded the show? Yeah, who helped us at the Trubidor show.

He's running. Yes, he's running. Hold on the QR code if you have it right there. Holy shit. I don't. Fuck. He's running. We got to vote for him.

You could just run for mayor. Let's explain this. We did our show at the Trubador, and immediately after, the guy who like set it up to be filmed, who works in the film business and was part of the festival, was like, by the way, I'm running for mayor. He was run for mayor, dude.

I have to. I don't know what's happening, but somebody needs to do something. And he gave us, like, his brochure and a little business car with the QR code. Lost it immediately. But yeah, Todd, Todd just put it in the chat.
