Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered

a terrible secret. I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom. Listen to Freeway Phantom 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, four dudes at home, and they work there, too. All right, mate, you got any Jimmy Caps? I think we've all had a pocket rocker from time to time. And he's a runner up for best video this week, be sure and vote. Strap in. Wow. Yeah. Friendship. What's up, man? Friendship. Finish me. What's up, my best friends? Hey, best friend. My motherfucking best friend. What's up, best friends? My best friend. My best friend. My motherfucking best friend. He's my best friend. I wish I had my tambourine for this. He is my best friend. That's my best friend. Oh, that's great. Remix. Megan Thee Stallion comes in.

Good job. Do you think Megan Thee Stallion stole that from us? Do you think she works for SNL? Heard our other bits, and she was like, these guys are onto something, and then took that bit from us from an old sketch that we made more than 15 years ago. Yes. 100% she did. She used to be Megan the Comedian. She did. And then just changed some letters. Yes, I remember that. She was very funny, too. Megan Thee Comedian. That's not bad. That's tight. Have we ever played the best friends track on the pod? Should we throw to it and come back, play it for the people? Yeah, yeah, let's play it. Early music for y'all. If you're waking up, here's some music for y'all. This one's for all the best friends out there.

If you're waking up, or even if it's in the afternoon, or even if it's maybe post-workout, whatever you're doing, we feel you should think about your best friends. And after this, if you're not currently living with your best friends and seeing them all the time, give them a shout, give them a call. That's what I love about this podcast, I get to see my best friends all the time. Okay, roll that beautiful bean footage, Blake. Even if it's at midnight, have fun. Yeah. Friendship. Looking out my window, watching rain fall down. Waiting for my best friend, but it's nowhere around. I can't wait until I can see you. I picked up some specs, we can have a barbecue.

You, me, and you shall be bound until the end, because you're my motherfucking best friend. You're my best friend, my best friend, my best friend, to the day that I die. You're my best friend, my best friend, to the best friend, to the day that I die. Looking out the window, watching cars drive by. Just thinking about you, and it makes me wanna cry. I miss you so much, since you've been away. Other people start to think that I might be gay, but I just think you are a really cool dude. Sometimes at night, I see you in the stars. You're my best friend, you're my best friend, you're my best friend into the day that I die. You're my best friend, you're my best friend, you're my best friend,

into the day that I die. My best friend, my best friend, my best friend, to the day that I die. You're my best friend, you're my best friend, you're my best friend till the day that I die. And we're back! And how bout that song? Man, I have a lot of fond memories of that song. It's given us a lot of mileage. We've performed it on Conan. Conan O'Brien.

We did. Well, Conan played the guitar for it on Conan O'Brien. Can we do this? I almost did this on Instagram yesterday, and then I just got busy and forgot. But like a Conan O'Brien appreciation day? Yes. We should.

Into it. Holy fucking shit, Conan O'Brien. Yeah, he's the best. The absolute man. Well, he was the very first person that gave us a shot on late night, the first ones that. Is that right? Yeah.

I'm not even talking about like associated to us and like the favors he's done for us. I'm talking about like this dude wrote on SNL way back in the day, influencing us in ways we didn't even know. Then writing on The Simpsons. I wasn't a huge Simpsons guy, and I respect the fuck out of the show.

And then his talk show fucking blew my mind. I watched it every night in high school and college. Unfucking real. Yeah, the dude is great. I would stay up very late to watch his show just because like the sketches were so insane. And also I felt like the guests that would come on knew that you could get really wild.

And that was what was cool about us going on his show is, you know, he allowed us to do whatever the hell we want. We did wizards there, we did best friends. I showed, I actually showed Chloe the wizard clip not too terribly long ago, because I was telling, because she like honestly really likes the wizards. The wizards is, it's not us,

but it's our friends from an alternate realm. I think you had to mention them before. Yeah, that they've opened a portal and they kind of look similar to us. If you look in the eyes and look past the beards, but yeah, there's similar vibes to us. If you look past the elastic straps holding the beards up. Yeah, if you look past that, it might look similar to us,

but it's not. But they're not us. And I showed Chloe the album, she loved it. And then I was like, yeah, when we did it on Conan, just said it briefly. And she was like, say what now? And I played her that clip and she was like, holy shit, this is absolutely insane. We had dancers.

You guys were super famous rappers? And I said no, it wasn't us, it was the wizards. Well, one of the coolest things about that performance is we asked Conan if we could have like a flame throwing dragon. And they were like, we're gonna see if that's possible. And sure enough, watch the clip.

It was a reality. It was awesome. And he like, didn't you say the guys from workaholics last minute couldn't be here? Yeah, yeah. Because we couldn't. Because we couldn't. Because we couldn't be there.

And so our friends had to come in from the alternate universe and do the song. I still think one of our greatest ideas that we haven't done yet, but it's still on the table, is asking the wizards to do a up and smoke-esque type of a hip hop tour. It would be very cool. A stage show with the wizards.

So the up and smoke tour was like several different acts, right? Like different rappers. So who is joining the wizards? Well, the thing about what he's taking from the up and smoke tour is the theatrics. Everybody had their own set. Everybody had their own.

That's what you're taking from it? Well, we could also ask Chuck English if he wants to come on a track, do a beat for us. I say, here's what we do. Here's what we do, guys. We ask Chuck English. We have to ask the wizards first. We ask Eminem.

Obviously the wizards. We reach out to Chuck English and Eminem. Eminem and MGK. And whoever gets back to us first, whoever gets back to us first, they get the slot. Do we hit up Macklemore, who announced he was gonna do a wizard album and then kind of just got the tie box on it?

That was so weird. What happened? I remember seeing that. He must have gotten like 10 tweets about it from people. And he was like, oh, there's no way I could surpass the perfection that those wizards that we know did. And he skipped it. Right.

When they did their original, their first album, Purple Magic. So what was Macklemore's wizard thing? I kind of remember it, but I- He like announced that he's like, yo, I'm moving on to some hot shit. Get ready for the rapping wizards. And people were like, it's been done.

And he was like, well, I don't know what he was like, but he must have heard. He's probably like, they're on to me. I just know when I saw that, I immediately hit the notes in my iPhone and started to write a little, little diss rap for if he did drop it. Really?

I pulled out a pen and a pad and a beat too. You mean Youngzel did, not Blake. I'm sorry, I immediately- Well, yeah, exactly. You hit up Youngzel. I went to the crystal ball. Right, right, yeah, you hit up Zeld. I went to the cauldron, dropped Zeld a line.

I hit up Toby and I actually, I got a beat too and I was like rapping on it, like listening to Toby rap on it. Right, yeah, you hit up old Toby, the wizard. And that made sense. And I was like, that beat is solid. I did not contact Bulldozer. He's kind of on his own shit right now.

Yeah, he's kind of down and out that poor guy. Oh, that's too bad. Lamal spells well. He was actually interested in like, actually getting on a track with Macklemore and like, and whoever, yeah, to like, actually be hurt by people. Wow. He was like, I think maybe more people would hear it

if we did this instead of just diss him. Yeah, Lamal has always been like the peacekeeper of the group, you know? Well, he spells well. He spells well. He does spell, he spells well. He is Jiggy Stardust, so. AKA Jiggy Stardust.

You know what we should do is contact the wizards and say, you know, it's like a Blues Brothers type thing. We gotta get the band back together. And come out with the ultimate album that will then change the world, like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, you know? Basically, a lot of other musical movies is what this will also be like.

Yes, all right, you know. Yeah, I think you could. And we're moving on from the Conan O'Brien appreciation. All right. Thank you, Conan. If you want to bring it back, was there something else you wanted to say to him? Tina Coco over there?

Me? I feel like I said it. And then everyone else was like, yeah, but we we wrapped, didn't we? I guess we're done talking about him. Here's the thing. You kind of look like him. You look exactly like him. Would you play him in a bio?

Would you like to play him? Man, I wish, you know, I don't know if I could do him justice. You gotta believe in yourself. Yeah, I think you gotta believe in yourself. Have some confidence in it. I think you can. I don't have to do a damn thing.

Oh, you're right. You're absolutely right. I'll slip my wrist right now. Whoa, whoa, hold on, wait, don't do that. Don't slit your wrist on the pot. Oh, on this podcast right now, unders. Hey, all right. Come on, come on.

You should believe in yourself. You don't have to. You should. Yes, video that somebody in the writer's room played of the politician who like got up and then just blew his brains out. And what did he say? Oh, that's the, damn.

He said, no, no, this bud Dwyer. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. Yeah, you can't stop me. Where was that? It's a video on the internet of a live suicide. If you're into watching that kind of stuff, I'm sure you can Google it, but it is very disturbing.

Sticks with you still when I close my eyes, I can access it. So anyway, I'm gonna do that. Okay, but it's gonna be audio only. It's audio, finish him. I've seen that video and I cannot even envision it even a little bit. I know I've watched that with you guys.

It's so disturbing. It's like this dude up at a podium, pulls a gun out, says he's gonna do it. And then like people like kind of come to stop him. He's like, no, no, no, I'm gonna. And then he, boom. It's very, it's like too realistic. Finish him.

Cause it is real. Right. There's like no cinema to it. It just is like over and you're like, hmm, there's real life. There's like no dope-ass camera shots. There's no music. There's no music.

There's no score to it. No score underneath it, no. It's actually like kind of older footage. So it makes it even creepier just cause it's kind of grainy and it's like. Eight of Max. You're like grandpa shot himself, poor guy. I mean, did you guys ever, when you were growing up,

did you ever get into the faces of death, VHSs? Yeah. Yeah. That was like pre. I have very little. Free internet shit. We rented those. It was just like people getting electrocuted

or like hitting, eating my animals or hit by trains and shit. I feel like that's the one I remember is like an alligator one where a dude got eaten by a fucking alligator. Yeah. This is from that, but I remember watching it and being like, oh, I just watched a man get murdered.

When like he's just walking down the street and just a tire out of nowhere, like this giant tire is flying across the street and just clocks him in the back of the head and for sure this guy's dead. That's on the internet too. I don't know if I don't remember that, but I do remember that from the internet for sure.

Yeah. He face plants onto the concrete after getting hit with the tire, right? Yeah. This tire like flies off a truck from the interstate or something and it's coming at him like 80 miles an hour and it just clocks him in the back of the head

as he's just walking down the street and you're like, well, what are the odds? Right. They're actually higher than you think. Really, give it to us. I just said they're high. Yeah, this is important. Oh, okay, I thought we were gonna get a number.

This is really important, let's go. No, I just remembered those VHSs though, being like an urban legend at school where kids would be like, have you seen it? Have you seen it? But I never, I can't watch that conversation. I rented it thinking it was a horror movie because you know, like when you're 10,

you could rent Faces of Death. Video adventure had it. Oh, no, you know what? No, no, I'm sorry. I think Neeland Brothers videos had it. Here we go. But we had already finished all the Nightmare on Elm Streets, all the Friday the 13th, some Halloweens and shit

and we were like Faces of Death and it had a cool box and I think there were like three movies. I will say if you go on, say eBay or Etsy, Google or search for vintage Faces of Death gear, the shirts are pretty sick. Their merch was top notch, top notch. But you're gonna pay a pretty penny.

It's just smut, it's just death videos. That's crazy that that's what's getting passed around. We didn't understand it. We were like waiting for the narrative to kick in and all of a sudden it was just like accident after accident and you're just like. Yeah, it's kind of like America's Funniest Home Videos but what happened, the actual results.

Because a lot of times you would watch AFV and be like, oh, that dad for sure died, right? Death by getting his nuts kicked a hundred times. Right. He got killed by the Jackalope. Those were the craziest Funniest Home Videos when you would, it was the craziest Funniest Home Videos when you were like, oh, that guy like for sure

it really hurt himself. Like a dad who's like fixing the lights on the roof for Christmas and then he just slides off the roof and you're like, he's paralyzed, he's paralyzed. He fell 30 feet. And then it just cuts to a super 90s audience like. And he's runner up for best video this week.

Be sure and vote. They would fucking play that sick music while everyone's doing their little punch pad. It'd be like. And Bob Sagan had the last laugh. Yes, he did. Bro, they were doing voiceovers on like all those clips, man, they would string out.

That's right. Can we just do a Bob Sagan appreciation? Dude, let's start it now. I mean, think about it. Okay, stop the pod. This guy's trying to appreciate today. Thank you, Ders. I love that.

I love that about you. Hey man, give them roses while they're here. Thank you. There you go. Yes, you got him. I'm with you. Bob Sagan. Thank you, bro.

Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Bob. You raised me, man. DT, Danny Tanner. For all those little voices that you put underneath people getting hurt. That shit was funny as hell. I don't think that was him.

I think he brought Dave Couillet on board to do those voices. What do you mean? Dave Couillet had his own show. Dave Couillet had his own show. But Dave Couillet did the voice of the Jackalope for sure, because it was the same voice. But that wasn't AFV.

That was on his show. That was America's funniest people. I think that he started on America's funniest home videos. And then they were like, this guy is a genius. No way. Getting six-year-old Alanis Morissette, we got it from his own show. Wait, you think that Bob Sagan had a show,

and then he got Dave Couillet to do the voices, and then Dave Couillet was given a spin? Have you never been on a show that Adam created? No, I'm saying then he got his spin off from that, because I thought Bob Sagan did the voices, and Dave Couillet did the voices. I thought it was the same format, two different people. I'll piss now.

I don't know. Neither do I. There's literally no way to tell. But I'm looking at the cast, and it's Tom Bergeron did it for a while, Bob Sagan. That's new, that's new. And can we stop the pot for a second

and give Todd Bergeron his roses for a minute? No, we can't. Todd Bergeron is killing it. We can't give Todd. Well, actually, let's give Todd, because that might be Tom's younger brother. Right, or his dad. Who didn't get a lot of shine.

Check it out, see who he's related to. Yeah, Tom Bergeron might have had a relative named Todd, and to be a relative of a super famous guy like Tom Bergeron, and your name is also pretty close to Tom, it's Todd, I'm assuming that it was kind of hard for him. So big shout out, and let's appreciate him. Tom Bergeron, appreciate you.

Well, their father, Dom, was a huge influence to me as well. He's the host of Prancing with the Stars. Tom Bergeron, I love it. I will say that America's Funniest People did have a low-key banger theme song, and that, I feel like not everybody knows that one. Was it the one that ends in America, America, this is you.

That's America's Funniest Home Videos. No. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. I had the same thought, Blake. That's not. You go look it up, and I'm gonna be over here, maybe being right.

Strangers from the friends next door. Da, da, da, da. That was the Dave Coulier, and I love that we're deep diving. Yeah, hey, here's a poll for everyone at home. Do you love that we're deep diving? They said, are you ready? Let that snow.

It can't roll, because it's the red, white, and blue. This is America's Funniest Things You Do, America. This is America's Funniest Home Videos. America. Kyle and your voice is just fucking good. Oh, this is you. Not only is Kyle my favorite actor, he might be one of my favorite singers.

I just like how he goes for it, and he's not afraid of what he sounds like. Thank you. You're welcome. I hope to do that forever. I hope to go to make you smile. This is right. A real bright look at each of you.

To capture all that stuff. Yeah, this is sick. Listen to that scratchy voice. We'll find out. Thank you, thank you, thank you. America, America, America. Hope this is you. All right.

I apologize. I will be apologizing at the end of the show. Just wait for it, all right? But I am sorry right now. I am sorry about what I said. Do you think that's the same woman who's saying on, was it the step-by-step that had the woman singing theme song? It could have been the full house theme too.

Or no, that was a dude. I think that was a dude. There were so many good theme songs. What's the last show that had a good? Do we talk about thematic? I haven't talked about that. Do we dip back in our own shit again? Well, that is that scratchy voice is reminiscent

of all those 90s sitcom openers, and we do have a dope ass video. Yeah, thematic is one of my favorite sketches that we've ever done. I thought that was a banger, a classic banger. We did a sketch several years ago before everything where I was like a recording engineer looking for the next hot talent to record

a sick 90s theme song for a TV show because theme songs were big back then. And this little roub named Andy, I think. I think it was Andy Bovine, wasn't it? Andy Bovine, yeah. And it's Adam as like this fresh new talent, and he just fucking blows my mind. And he gets hooked on cocaine.

And then heroin, and then. He gets a manager, his manager, Chuckie Gay Wagon. Right, Chuckie Gay Wagon. Chuckie Gay Wagon, that's Blake. Chuckie Gay Wagon, how are you? And what song did you die recording? He like, step by step, I'm gonna say, step by step, day by day.

Yeah, and then he closes my eyes when he goes, a second time around. And we're gonna play that right now. Dude, that shit's so good. Welcome back. I don't know how any of this works, but. What is the most recent show in memory that had an actual good theme song?

I'm trying to think of any shows that had a, like. I mean, I like the offices theme song. Oh, do do do. Yeah. Look at you, yeah. It might be workaholics. When did we stop summarizing the premise? Because that was cool when theme songs had lyrics

and they actually told you what was going on in the show. That's dope. We don't do that anymore. The Brady Bunch and like, Small Wonder. Yeah. Can we just shout, can we just give appreciation to Small Wonder? Bro, the Adams family, can we give appreciation

to Adams family while they're still here? While they're still here. All right. Yeah. So what you're saying is we shoulda took the beat from the skinny boys. That's the people that do the group that did the workaholics theme song.

And kind of explained what our show was. Have them re-record it like, four dudes at home and they work there too. They don't work at home. And there's only three. The fourth one's a ghost and you never see him. And there's three of them. Blake forgot our show.

Blake's on a different planet sometimes. You idiots. But yeah, it would be something like that. Like, boo-doo-doo-doo. I was just looking at four people on the screen. I assumed Kyle was one of the roommates. Well, I was there the whole time. Yeah, but for seven years,

didn't you film that TV show? Yeah, weren't you there for 86, 87 episodes? Yeah, but at this moment, I'm looking at four people. I was there on a crowded street, I'd say the show with 89 roommates that also work together at a grocery store. Parking lot. I'm sorry, guys.

I'm out of the street. I just saw 89 people. I just... Your eyes are in charge of your brain. I love it. Hey, baby. That's what I'm talking about. It's our microphone, a computer,

and four pictures of people. It's this podcast. Your eyes are in charge of your brain. Oh, my God. You're a stupid dumbass. Dumbass. Dumbass. Oh, man.

Can we just shout out Beavison, but... Bro, give it up for Mike Judge, all right? Let's appreciate Mike Judge for a second, all right? Huge appreciation now, we're living legend, mate. Oh, man. Yeah. I think he's a surfer, and I like that. Do you think maybe that could be the documentary we make?

Is like tracking down the skinny boys and seeing what was up with them? Because I don't know where those guys are. The skinny boys are the guys that made the song that ended up being the workaholic soundtrack. And we, or theme song, not soundtrack. Theme song. But theme song, and wasn't it, we were looking at...

Gotta be fresh. And stop me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure I will be, but we were looking for... We wanted some sort of beatbox thing as our theme song, and we wanted... Should I stop you? Yeah. Stop.

We wanted to get Bismarcky to create a song for the show, and it was gonna be too expensive. Okay, well, you shouldn't have stopped me, because that's what I was about to say. But we didn't want just any beatbox, we were like Bismarcky. Yeah, but we knew we wanted... Bismarcky's known for doing beatbox and stuff,

and we wanted beatbox, so we're gonna go out to Bismarcky. It was gonna be way too expensive. Yes. And we ended up, I think, was it Blake? He was looking at iTunes, like, if you like this, you might like this kind of thing? Yeah.

I had cut together the images, and I was trying music and Blake threw me that song, and there's versions of it where it was like, even the other parts of the... Like... We tried, like, there's so many different versions and parts in that song that it's like... We shouldn't have said you'd do it.

Wow. Yeah, you're a true talent. Can we just take a minute to appreciate Kyle's beatboxing? I never stop. Fair enough. Love the guy. Thank you very much. Thank you, it was a rendition.

It was just a rendition of Skinny Boy's Jockbox, but yeah. By the way, the album, Waitless, has got tracks. That's not the only track. And then we were going on, we were doing some kind of tour or big live event, and I remember we reached out and we were trying to find the Skinny Boys, and they were unreachable.

We could not find them, we put feelers out, we contacted the label, they were like, we have no idea where these guys are. That song came out 30 years ago, and we were kind of shit out of luck. I don't think the people who own the song were doing us any favors. You know what I mean?

Yeah, they absolutely didn't care. They were like, yeah, go fuck yourselves. Well? Yeah, they're like, just pay us. But shout out to the Skinny Boys. If you're out there, we'd love to get in contact with it, because I think if we ever take the podcast out on tour, which we would like to do at some point,

we would love for them to come on and maybe open up the show for us. That'd be so fun. That would be insane. Yeah, let's fucking, let's get some money, and you guys don't even have to talk to us. You can show up and say, hey, what's up guys? Fuck you, perform, kill it, and then be like,

all right, we're out here guys, we'll see you at the next city. For sure, yeah, you don't need to talk to us. The Skinny Boys are, in that story though, the Skinny Boys are like, dick. Pretty rude, yeah. No, I'm just, hey, I don't know how they feel. We took their voices and put them

on a fucking TV show 30 years later. I don't know if they're stoked on it. Yeah, I wonder how, they have to have someone in their lives. This is why it's a good documentary. Yeah. They have to have someone in their lives that showed them or told them, they're not completely ignorant right now, right?

They have to have known that their song was the theme song to. Yeah, I wouldn't assume they're completely ignorant. Yeah, I would think they'd know. You would think so, yeah. Yeah, for sure. It'd be a great dog. It's a good, now I see the hook, Finding Skinny.

Sending love their way. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the Skinny Boys? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Searching for Skinny. Let's do it. They were kind of a commercial response to the Fat Boys. Yes. And we just lost a Fat Boy.

And I don't think I'm young enough to remember that dude's name, because I've never had their stuff. I do remember my friend Ray Weaver had like a mini tape. You mean old enough, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, I'm not old enough. But my homie had a little, they were like these mini tapes that they sold for these like fake Walkman, what?

Really? Do you guys know what I'm talking about? And they would have like one song on them. No. I mean, this is like 87. Oh yeah, we were true children. This sounds like a, what was it called? Tiger or Tyga?

Not the rapper. Tiger with a little tail. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Electronic device. Yes. Fuck, what was it called? That was like a, what would you do prize? Like Tiger, like Casio and Tiger were kind of.

Yes, your keyboard and a Schwinn bicycle. Yeah, yeah. And whistle blow pops. Oh yeah. Whistle pops. Whistle pops. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University and I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities.

Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident? Or can we create new senses for humans? Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet? So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception and your reality.

Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband

set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark

she feared for her life. She was like, oh my God, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this, he's going to come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're looking for someone to help you unpack

Listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, Thursdays on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or anywhere you get your podcasts. Whistle blowpops were a problem at my middle school.

I loved the rings, the blowpop rings. Yeah. Oh, ring pops? Ring pops. Dude, can we just fucking appreciate candy? Those are still fantastic. Ring pops are so good. Like, few suckers capture that.

That's what I'm most looking forward to of having kids is like having a reason to be like, you know, let's go down the candy aisle real quick. Because I don't really fuck with candy as an adult because I'm worried about jawline. But as soon as you have a kid, you're like, well, I have to give them some high fructose corn syrup. Yeah.

And it's all good if I gain some weight. I'm a dad now. Yeah, it's all, it's okay. I'm a dad. I can strap some on. It's fine. When I was a kid, I remember I would, I had all kinds of weird side hustles.

So I would then take that money. And that's what you called them? That's what I called them when I was robbing the neighborhood kids. Whoa. And I would take that money that I got from my illegal paper route and also robbing the neighborhood kids.

And I would get all the ring pops, baby. Dude, it was a ring pop mob. I walked down, I'd lower the seat on my bike and just roll with all ring pops up on the handles. Ooh, wee. Here we're flashing. Ooh, wee. Let them know.

That would actually be kind of a cool flex. There should be somebody who gets a ring pop that's an actual like bejeweled ring pop. Oh yeah. That's a cool look. Right, that would be great. And walk a red carpet with it or something. I could see someone doing that.

Do. A quick little circle back real quick. It's called a Conan O'Brien. We love him. It's just. We love him. He's underrated. It's called a pocket rocker.

That's what mine is. Hey, hey, okay, okay, okay. We've all had a pocket rocker from time to time. Is it real? Oh my God. A pocket rocker. That's a tiny tape. Yeah, tiny tape, pocket rocker.

Don't. Yeah, that's what it is. I don't know. What else is it? I'm not following. Hey, you want to see my pocket rocker? Excuse me? Yeah.

Oh, it's a thing I got off eBay for my childhood. Yeah, right. What else would it be? I'm just running lines. Just running lines. Just running lines over here. For a product that's been dead for over 30 years. Yeah, I'm in this scene with like 89 people.

I'm just running lines. Yeah. This show takes place in 86. It's tough, it's tough. Sorry, it's for my show, Workaholics. Haven't you guys been done with that for like four or five years now? No.

Oh, there's 89 new stars. We do it every week. It's like, it's a big ensemble. Like, that's the whole thing. It's all I have, though, so. To me, this is still Workaholics. I still call this Workaholics. I gotta go.

I think legally you can't. Yeah, legally you can't say that. Can we expunge that, please? Can we redact that? Redact that from the record? Yeah, sorry. Strike that? Sorry.

King I-heart's gonna come down swinging on us. Pizza, pizza. Oh, that would be a problem. Tiger beat. Did that have anything to do with Tiger beat? That magazine? Tiger. No, no, but Tigers have always and will always

just be something we talk about. Yeah, people love Tigers. Can we just give a shout out to Tiger? Does Tiger beat exist? Because that seems kind of creepy. So that was like teenage boys in magazines, right? In girls, I think, but I think it was, it was like a magazine for young people

and young stars specifically. Right, like JTT. So then people would cut them out and put them on their walls, but I think it was geared more towards little girls. It was just like Will Smith and River Phoenix and fucking. It was Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Zachary Ty Bryan and anyone with three names kind of got on the cover.

Yelling. Mark Paul Gosler. Mark Paul Gosler. Dlish. Is it Gosler or Gosner? It's Gosler. You nailed it. I second guessed myself.

I thought it was Gosner. Wrong again. And can we kind of give him his flowers right now? Cause he's still out there working, right? Let's give him his flowers. Who, we talking about Mark Paul? Yeah. Yeah, he's working.

I can test for that. Ders, you got a little story. Yeah, I was. He kind of swooped my boy. He did. He did. I was on a pilot for something called Mixedish, a spin off to Blackish.

And they were like, oh, I don't like you. Hey, cut me and replace me with Mark Paul Gosler, who's killing it. But here's the best part is that in the end of the movie, Game Over Man, Mark. The number one movie of all time on Netflix. Check it out, Game Over Man. Everyone loves it.

Check it out. The number one movie on Netflix of all time. Huge. We are approached by Mark Cuban who goes, we love your guy's story from the movie. We wanna turn this story in the movie into a video game. And we're like, oh my God, that's gonna be so cool when we're in a video game.

He's like, yeah, but we're gonna replace you with better looking, well-known actors. And I said Mark Paul Gosler for me. Really? And the end of the movie is like us, I'm doing air quotes, but we're replaced with Sean Aston for Adam. That's right. Cara Delevingne for you and Mark Paul Gosler for me.

And he had to have approved that, I think. Yeah. And then he fucking really replaced me. Yeah, he for sure, I'm not crying. He's not crying, he's not crying. You can't see it, but he's not crying. He isn't crying. If you think he's crying, he isn't.

Since it came. I mean, that's like, what the fuck is that? That's some higher level shit right there, right? That's how you know God is the funniest one out there. Thank you, God. Well, that's weird because actually I was supposed to be the enchantress in Suicide Squad. Is that who Cara Delevingne was?

There's no way to tell. What the fuck? All right, and now we're back. I'm glad we took that one. And now we're back. And now we're back. Have you ever been fired off anything, Blakers? You ever got shit cast?

Other than the McDonald's commercial, I got cut out of that. Well, you were just cut out. But have I been recast? Yeah. Not to my knowledge. I feel like, I do. I've never watched anything I've ever done,

so anything's possible. To my knowledge is the funniest thing you could have said right there, Blakey. Not to my knowledge. When I did the one little, I did a little part in Entourage and it was a scene with Jeremy Piven. And I remember I was like, I was hell nervous.

And I was kind of like, kind of like biffing my lines a little bit. And I remember Piven being like, bro, you don't sew it up. You're getting axed, dude. He shook me to the bones, man. That's so cool. I love that he thinks that's his job.

Wait, what did he said? You were getting cut? Dude, he's like, come on, Blake. And I'm just like, oh, shit, dude. Jeremy Piven's about to kick my ass. What were you doing wrong? Because he just wants to get out of there. For sure.

By the way, that's gonna help. Like, that's gonna help you like, oh, for sure. Thank you. Now I'm less nervous because you're yelling at me. Yeah, because the script, like, you know, they really stick to the script. It was one of those like sets where you have to hit every word.

Don't add nothing. Well, dude, the jokes are solid gold on entourage, you know? I mean, just like... Yeah, grammatical masterpieces. I know you're kind of, you know, making fun of it, and you're saying that sarcastically, but... Wait, who? Now you're crying.

I guess part of what I just said was a joke. But, I mean, it was a generational comedy that a lot of people stand by, and it's kind of how I live my life. Right, I don't disagree. A lot of people stand by it. Whoa, why didn't you cry about it? I'm not crying.

He's crying. Because guys, I'm actually part of the entourage universe. Yeah, you really are. I'm jealous. Did you come back in the movie? How? Did I not see you in the show? Were you in the show?

You did make it? Yeah, you were someone's roommate. Is that correct, Blake? Did you make it onto the show? Yes. You, like, knock on a window, and you're somebody's roommate. Yes, so Jeremy Piven, I believe, is dating my roommate.

She's kind of a younger girl, and... And this is in the later seasons. I have no idea. It is. Later seasons, he's going through, Jeremy's Ari Gold is going through a breakup, a separation with Mrs. Ari, because they never gave her a name.

Really? Yeah, it's part of the jokes. That's why it's so funny. Grammatical masterpieces. He's going through a separation, and then starts to date a younger woman. That is Blake's roommate. Okay.

Yes, so I'm that girl's roommate. I knock on the window, and I'm like, hey, bro, do you got any condoms? Because I guess I'm, like, blazing somebody. Did you do, well, maybe that was part of it. You, like, used a voice that isn't your voice. Right. You were like, hey, bro.

Was that it? Let's go, Blake, come on, man. Do your voice work. You were, like, trying to do too much of a thing, and it kind of threw you. He came in with his accent. Yeah, he was like, hey, bro. All right, mate, you got any Jimmy Caps?

Was that it? I don't... I think it was more just me going like, uh, uh, uh. Right. And they're like, you have to, you have to hunch down and get in the window. And I kept being like, my eyes above the window, and they're like, dude, you're just not in frame.

This isn't working. Just couldn't hit your mark. It's not much of the delivery. But you didn't know how to put your head in the window? It was hard, dude. I didn't want to, you know, intrude on Mr. Piven's space, man. And this wasn't, this wasn't season one of War Galax. This is like, we were like season three or four, I think.

That's what I'm wondering too, Adam. So I think you had done enough episodes. This is enough. This was a stunt cast? A little bit. This is an, you've done enough episodes of television that you should know how to hit marks and... To know the craft.

Not with Jeremy Piven though, man. Yeah, exactly. Not with Golden Globe or Emmy winning. I don't know what it was, but that dude was... He won something. He just was biffin' takes it. You weren't hitting your mark. Your head wasn't where it needed to be.

It was a whole nother animal, dude. It was a whole nother animal. It wasn't like I knew on workaholics. Can you look at Jeremy in the eyes, please, Blake? Can you look at him, like make this, like you're connecting with him? Is that okay? Can you bring your head down a little bit?

And he looks at you and he's just shaking his head, don't do it, don't you look at me? Yeah, that's the thing. He was fucking with you. He was one of the first celebrities that I... Can we take a minute just to appreciate Jeremy Piven? Yeah, hell yeah. Hey, Evanston Township High School.

I'm a man! Graduate, he's an alumni of the high school I went to. He was one of the first celebrities that I saw in Hollywood. I was walking running canyon with me and I think Christine and our dog Rocky that we won off the television show Who Gets the Dog. Check it out.

It's on the Fido Network. Let's cut to that now. Who gets the dog? And we're back. And then so I'm walking up running canyon and I'm walking up the steepway and he's running down the steepway. Nice.

Holding shirtless, holding a mountain bike over his head with like the 6% body fat or something. You think he stole it? I for sure he robbed him. He beat somebody on the line. I think it was just like that. That was peak entourage.

Entourage was still on. It was probably like season three or four at that time and he was like a fucking star at that point. And I think he was just like, yo, I gotta get out there. Let Hollywood know that I can carry mountain bikes above my head and run running canyon. Yeah, baby.

So this is a small world situation. My wife's mom worked at his parents theater when she was like in her 20s or something like that. Baby set. His parents owned a famous. Yes, his parents have like outside Chicago. They have like a kid's theater school or whatever it's called.

I'm not an actor. We're like teens learn how to act. Like the Q-Sacks all went through there. Jeremy obviously went through there. A bunch of people went through it. That's cool. And my wife's mom worked there. Like on the administrative side

and she would babysit Jeremy Piven. And I saw this for at like the gym somewhere in Hollywood, Hollywood. And I was like, and the trainer introduced me and I was like, hey, actually, we went to the same high school and I had the whole thing on deck to be like, my wife's mom, blah, blah, blah.

And he was like, that's tight, man. And just like walked off. And I was like, but I have. All right, hey, good to catch up. Cute dog. I'll see you around. He was looking swole though.

They stay swole. Stonewall. You know, if anything, he was looking swole. Good. And that's the most important part. Give him his flowers, man. Can we take a minute to appreciate him? Yeah.

Kyle, have you ever been fired off anything? Fired off of anything. Any Piven stories? Any job at all? Yeah, it could be any job. It doesn't need to be Hollywood related. It can be. Oh yeah.

I got fired from the pumpkin patch when I was a kid. Oh. Oh my God. Stealing pumpkins. Smashing pumpkins. Fucking the pumpkins. Seasonal job. It's just in the fall, obviously.

Amzanero just kept on. Well, I didn't so much get fired as I didn't get asked back for the Christmas tree farm, which was next. They were like, you could go home. That's what I also worked at a pumpkin patch slash haunted house. And me and Austin worked there. My good friend Austin Anderson.

And I wasn't fired, I just was not asked back because we both played two monsters. And I was in a costume. I don't know. We kept trading off and on, but one of us were in a costume that was like eight feet tall. And so you're this giant monster that comes out from behind this trick wall.

Are you on still? So your neck is long? No, it's like the head is kind of resting on your shoulders and it goes up from there. And we kept acting like we were fucking each other. Like we'd walk in the room. We'd walk in the room and I'd act like I'm fucking him or he'd act like he's fucking me.

And so it wasn't really scary as much as just like, oh, those two guys are just fucking shit out of each other. What's going on? 69, dudes! Would you call that a gay experiment? That might be an experiment. Yeah, I don't know. We had a fan ask if we ever had a gay experiment.

Maybe that's it. Well, I don't know. We might have to answer that in the Mint Mobile Smint Minute. Yeah, we might need to do a Smint Minute on that. Smint Mobile Minute. Yeah. Smint. No, I got fired off.

And I might have told this on the podcast, but I got fired off. Wait, do you want to know why I got fired from the pumpkin farm? Oh, sure. Of course. Yeah. Because I took two steak sandwiches every day and they weren't having it. They would give out lunch and I would always pocket two and they were like, dude, you got to go.

Did you say you were a growing boy? They wouldn't let me do it, man. They didn't dig it. And I sucked at parking duty. Like, I would not help people park. I just stood out there. So you stole and did a poor job. You were a thief and bad at the job.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, all right. This pumpkin patch had steak sandwiches? Or just every day the boss brought steak sandwiches from home? What is? No, it was like part of how they made their money. They like sold sandwiches at this place and they were bomb as fuck. So I would take two, maybe three and just like grub on that shit.

And they were eating three steak sandwiches. Dude, fuck, yeah, I was like, you were a growing boy, 17, 17. I was a growing boy and they 16, 17, 240, 250. Is it growing boy? Yeah. At that point, I remember I think I was racing to 200. I was trying to do that with a buddy of mine in high school was who could get to 200 first. Wow. Right.

And now I've topped that. Now you're trying to race down. There's the documentary racing to 200. Now I'm now I'm racing back down. I got to go backwards and racing back down. Yeah, the big boy, the big boy coming boy. Boy, it's hard to shake him. Yeah, I fired from the cost for sure.

I got I've been fired from a couple jobs. I got fired a cow's camera in Costa Mesa, California. When I first moved out there, I worked there and I sold tripods. Didn't know anything about tripods. Yes. And so it would just be like, this is good. When there's three legs and that's kind of all you need. I remember I was jealous of you with that job. I'm like, well, should I get this more of this more expensive one?

I'm like, I mean, yeah, yeah, if you want to, you can. I mean, it definitely has the same amount of legs. Right. To your credit, though, like how is there a variation of tripods? Like, yeah, there are. I mean, yes, there is a monopod, gorilla pod, tripod. See all the names of different pods. And I should have learned that. But I got fired.

I got fired because I would drink too much water. That was why he fired me. He was like, you're drinking what? I guess you had to walk all the way across the store to refill your cup. So I was just chugging water. I was chugging water, so I wouldn't have to talk about tripods. I'll get a damn day. So I'm just over there. Can you help me out?

I would I would fill up my cup, chug it on the way back to my station, be empty and have to go back to fill it up again. And so I was never I was never there. And then you got to go pee. And then he fires me, Cal, from Cal's camera. You got fired. Nice guy. It was a family owned business. Super nice guy, super nice family.

And he was like, I have to let you go. You drink too much water. And I'm like, yeah, OK, I get that. And then the next day, what the fuck? The his daughters who help him run the business, they must have been like, hey, Adam's a good kid. Like, you know, give him a shot. Yeah, I was like 18 years old at the time.

Are the daughters your age or are they also? No, they're they're they're grown women. They're probably in their forties or fifties. Right. And he calls me back and he's like, hey, you know, I talked with my daughters and I want to give you another shot. You know, that was just something that was bothering me that you were never at your station. And I'm like, sure. But I told him that I can't because I need to concentrate on my comedy.

Which he laughed so hard in my face. You are funny. Yeah, he laughed so hard at my face. That's a good joke. And I was 18. I didn't need to I needed a job is what I needed. Like I was in Southern California, going to community college. Like I wasn't there wasn't a lot of concentrated on my comedy being done anyway. So I should have just kept the job.

But the Hollywood job that I lost was I recorded Ferdinand the Bull for like a year and a half and recorded, you know, dozens of sessions. And then one day I got a call saying, hey, we're replacing you. You're no longer Ferdinand the Bull, it's going to be John Cena. So well, it makes perfect sense. I was like, yeah, he's a better Ferdinand the Bull. Absolutely. Yeah, that's so wild. Yeah. I would like to hear the the divine cut, though.

I bet you killed it, dude. I bet you killed it. Can they release a divine cut? That would be cool. I don't know if Ferdinand the Bull made enough money to release another cut of the movie that didn't make any money. So but I'd love to hear it. Shots fired. Yeah, it would have if you were there. I hate I was fired. Fuck them. Sorry, John.

Nobody's seen it. Oh, damn. Points. No points there. Yeah, I should have had some points. Yeah, some points. I have a good getting fired story from Lacoste on Rodeo Drive, guys. Oh, money millionaire. The face of Lacoste, they can't fire you. You got fired.

It was a two part. You had too many callers. They were like, this is too many. Oh, dude. First of all, colors, they were so good to me. They were there were good people there. That's and the fucking discounts were next level two times a year. Not that I was there long enough for this, but two times a year.

You got 10 items for free and then you got 70 percent off. So that Christmas, I was like, whoa, a god. Hello, and then everyone got Lacoste polos and they're like, I don't wear. OK, thank you, Anders. No, no, I varied it up. Mama got a scarf. Oh, yeah. Eric got a polo because he's popping collars.

Yeah. Oh, only got a nice sweater, I believe. And what did Phil get? Can't remember. I think Phil might have also gotten a sweater pop them collars. Thank you. But so I showed up about 45 minutes late one morning because my homie, John, at this time, was friends with Tommy Lee from Motley Crew. Yep. And God, he was like, oh, my God, oh, my God.

Come on out to Tommy Lee's house in Malibu. I'm kicking it with him. He's got his like chef here. He's making dinner. We're going to get wild. I'm like, for sure. So I drive out in my green minivan that you guys remember. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I go in. He's got like a gate to the crib. And I'm like, this is next level shit, right? This is like you're going to a Starz mansion in Malibu in your minivan. And you work at LaCoste and I pull in, we kick it. We're drinking all night. We're having fun. We're making like music on his computer and shit.

I think I still have this. It is a proposal situation for sure. Right now we're going to cut to the track that I recorded with him. You have really? We have it? Yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

overt keyword Homies pass out, it's getting late, it's like four in the morning, and I think if you saw the Cribs episode, he had a bar with like a Starbucks in his house, right? And he had a Yeagermeister dispenser in his crib, and he like lined up a bunch of shots, and it's four in the morning.

I have to be at work in Beverly Hills at 10 a.m. Hey. I'm still gonna send it. He was like, let's do this. And I go, oh man, I don't know if I can do that. I gotta be at work in like six hours. And he's like pussy, and you're like, no, I'm cool. I wish he said pussy,

because then I would have been like, all right, fuck it. He just goes, all right, I'm gonna go to bed. And he about faces, leaves the shots there, and passes, that goes like to his bedroom, leaving me to like sleep, I don't know where. I think I slept on this like big ass couch, like in a couch room that he had. I wake up super late, grab some Taco Bell,

gorditas on the way in, get there wearing the same shit I wore the day before. They're like, what's going on? I go, I mean, how is it Tommy Lee's house as if that would be like, oh, cool. And they were like, so what? And then like, fuck off. And they were like, this can't happen again.

And then maybe, maybe a month later, I went home for like Christmas and they were like, we need you back the day after Christmas. And I was like, all right, no doubt. And then my parents booked my flight back then because I had no money and they didn't book it to get back in time. And I just didn't have the balls to be like,

hey, you gotta like take the charge and flip it so I can get back to work. And I just called then it was like, I'm stuck in Chicago, I can't come. And then when I got back, they were like, hey, you're done here. We don't want you. That seems about right.

Let me call Tommy Lee. Nope, he's not returning calls. Damn. Yeah. So you didn't get Tommy's number. You didn't get called back. What the hell? No, I, and after like soon after that, I met you guys.

Wow. And we became your motley crew. Oh, give me points. Yes, points. Yes, points. Yes, points. You're Motley Crew. Hi, I'm David Eagleman.

I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University. And I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities.

Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident? Or can we create new senses for humans? Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet? So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception, and your reality. Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman

I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret.

I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this,

he's going to come kill me. Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, DC. It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible.

I will admit the others, when you catch me, if you can, sign Freeway Phantom. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother. That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people.

I thought that they would catch him. I thought it was just a matter of time. Is it possible that the killer is still alive? Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's what's crazy about LA and Hollywood is that like, you can be nobody working at some fucking clothing store, and then you have a friend who's like,

I'm at Tommy Lee, we're going to party at his house all night, and you're like, what? Let me get in my minivan, man, I'm almost there. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. I'm about to minivan up the coast, baby. Yeah, it is really fun to be in your 20s and in LA, and in Hollywood specifically, and just because you're, I feel like when you're younger,

you're just more likely to go, yeah, well, we're going to go do this, we're going to go drive 45 minutes to go do this insane thing. Yes, totally. Hype ourselves up the whole way there, and just get ready, and then go. That's every road trip to Vegas, by the way. Like, it couldn't be more accurate in swingers

when they're like, Vegas, baby. And the drive is quite long. So like, you can't really stay hyped the whole time, maybe three hours. It's like four, three and a half, four hours, yeah. Is it upwards of four? If you hit traffic going in or coming back, it can be a fucking nightmare,

especially if you're hungover trying to get back to LA. I mean, you always hit traffic on the way back. It's terrible. The worst. Yo, I took a like a party bus for a bachelor party from LA to Vegas, and we are raging, throwing it down, drinking, having a good time, whatever. And then the last like, the last hour and a half,

we stopped like three or four times for bathroom breaks. Everybody's fully loaded. We're like, yo, no, I got to pull over. And people are like, all right, fucking man, we'll pull over and then 20 minutes. They're like, all right, I got to pull over. I should have got out. It was a fucking shit show.

I should have got on the last one. Sorry about that. Just tons of bathroom breaks. Sorry, man. That's great. We pull over again. You got to piss out all that Red Bull. That's it.

Red Bull vodka. Got to piss out that entire saxophone thing from Circus Circus. Oh, yeah, man. Damn. Those are the coolest drinks, by the way, those huge saxophones filled with just, what booze do they put in, whatever you want? Just sugar, sugar and old gin.

It's probably Everclear, right? Yeah, that's what they usually put in those drinks. Gin margarita. I remember coming back from Vegas with Kyle in his Ford Focus and... Yeah, that'd be nice. I remember you had one of those little coffees. Remember those little Starbucks coffees

that you could buy at the convenience store? A little Frappuccino until we realized they're like 400 calories of pop and mean. You just like pound like four or five. Those little glass bottle ones? Yeah, the glass bottles. We used to just pound like three or four of those to get hyped up.

And then you start to, you get a little older and like, why can't I lose weight? And then you're like, oh, I drink 800 calories in Starbucks Frappuccino. I'm a man! But Neuecek goes to shake it and he had already like popped the cap and then goes to shake it and we both just got hosed.

And this is, within the first 20 minutes of the drive, we're just hosed with Starbucks Frappuccino. I just had forgot I popped the top and then fucking shook it as hard as I could, getting ready to pop the top and it fucking painted the whole interior of the car. Oh, like the windshield, the inside of the windshield, the whole dash, both of us, everything.

And you're driving too? Yeah. And we're driving and it's Sunday at like hot as fuck. noon when everyone checks out and drives back to LA and it was hot as fuck. There was no AC in his car. We had to have the windows rolled down.

And then like two hours in, the milk started to like curdle and start to stink. And we, I was like, I might vomit. I like, I might have to pull over and vom because it was like the milk started to like curdle in the heat. I'll piss now! I was probably smoking ciggies at that time too

and it was just like a dance. Oh yeah, you were just smashing cigs. Oh god. Milk was a bad choice. The coffee might have helped this science. I don't know if I want to smell Kyle after a weekend in Vegas. Oh yeah. I'll take the spoiled macchiato.

I remember like overdrafting my account so many times on those trips where it would be like, I'm fucking like, I'm already over drafted. And then it's like, well, I need more money. I got to go overdraft it before they stopped me from overdrafting. That was like one of my favorite things to do. It would be like try to get us all hyped up

to go do something. And it was just overdraft. It was just operation. When me, you and Blake lived together, it'd be like, I could probably get Blake on board but then it'd take you so a little more coaxing in. You would fucking work me and get me, but I would like hold out for a day.

It would just be like, yeah, it'd be like a full day of like, whoa, Vegas baby. Oh my god, how much fun is it? Like seriously bro, how much fun? Just talking like loud. This is like Ferris Bueller's day off. Let's go. And then by the way, and then we would just go

and we had no money. So we do the Vegas, the cheapest way you possibly can, which would be like, we sit there on the nickel slots waiting for the woman to come around to give us free beers. Yes, that was such the move. And then it would just be us finding the cheapest place to drink up and down the strip and then just walking the strip.

Now in hindsight, I'm like, it seems kind of miserable, but we had a great time doing it. We were young, we were dumb. I don't know any better. Well, remember our whole like shtick was like, the party police, didn't you guys like go just trying to get people to turn up? It's a party, yeah.

We tried to get out of, remember we tried to get you in saying that you were the newest member of SNL. Oh yeah. The Andy Bovine. We were like, you don't watch SNL? This is the guy. Like that was my job. Yeah, and then I'd be like, I don't know.

I don't want to pull that card. Fake catchphrases. You don't know my character. Is this your sandwich? I'm the, is this your sandwich? Guy, I don't know if you've seen that, but it's pretty popular. That is pretty funny.

Go ahead, go ahead. Did I do that? And then we did the party police, where party police was nothing except that we would like walk around in the lobbies and like show people our wallets and say, we're the party police. Are you having a good time?

Yeah. You're not having enough fun. Party police. What was the whole thing? Why did we do that? What was that? Because we're broke and we're drinking 40. We're having a great time, man.

We're broke. It's just fun. We have nothing else to do. We weren't allowed into the clubs. We weren't dressed nice enough. We probably spilled some coffee all over us. Some milk products. Some milk products on us.

Lay down at the hard rock. We reeked. We were poor as shit and we were making our own fun. Yummy. I do love the idea of party police going up to someone who just like bet the house. Lost everything. Like just lost everything and you're like,

hey man, party police. Turn the phone upside down. Party. I'll show you a party. Faces of death. Right. He's going to go fucking. Yeah.

I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. No, no. I'm going to do it. I think I landed on where we're going to do the bachelor party, guys. Oh. Oh my God. Bachelor in paradise.

Your backyard. On TV. Space station. Zoom. Space station. Space station. No. We're going to go to the lake of the Ozarks.

Oh. And yeah, I get to see where the... The Brozarks. The Brozarks. See where the family lives. I rented us a dope house. I'll give you the dates and intel, you know, off the pod, but it's going to be awesome.

And then that way Big D can kick it with us. Yeah. And it's a wild place. So we'll have fun and we'll have access to boats and jet skis and all that stuff. So it'll get wet and wild. I'm so excited. Yeah, man.

It's going to be rad. Yeah. Dude. Can we waterski? Yeah. Kneeboard? How about kneeboarding? We can kneeboard.

We can waterski. We can do that thing where we can wakeboard. Yes. All this stuff. Have you ever kneeboarded? Has anybody ever kneeboarded? No, sir. I think I have.

I didn't love it. Yeah. Because you're just on your knees the whole time. I'd rather stand up. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, I feel you, but the kneeboard is sick, dude. You strap your knees in.

No, sir. I don't like it. That seems stupid to me, Kyle. Yeah. Why? Because you're on your knees. You said it. The whole time.

Cold-blooded motherfucker. You're cold-blooded motherfucker. No, I'm just saying. That's stupid. You're my favorite actor, but you're not my favorite when it comes to water sports. Extreme sports? What's wrong with that? You're not my favorite extreme sports guy.

Okay? Sure. It's not you. Just because I said kneeboarding. I'm just saying, no. Yeah. Well, yes. There are reasons.

I didn't help, but... Oh, my God. Judgemental much? Hey, I'm not going to be a groomzilla, but we're not doing that on my bachelor party. Okay? We're not doing that. Yeah, it's not about you. Oh, my God.

You're actually saying that I can't do that? Wow. You got vetoed. It's not allowed. Are you actually... Are you literally... Are you literally actually telling me that I can't kneeboard on your... Hey.

No, Kyle. It's figuratively... What the fuck do you think, man? Yeah. Yeah, I'm literally telling you. I'll kiss now. Hey. You just started to touch on this at the beginning of the pod, but I'm going to go ahead and

take the... Take it and run. You can't tell me what to do. Ooh. Yeah, I do. I think I did touch on that. I think Ders has touched on that a little bit at the beginning of the pod with you, specifically.

I remember touching on that. Yeah. You know, I guess it's... It is my bachelor party, though, so I hope you respect my rules. I can't enforce them. I'm not going to, like, hurt you, but... Got a groomzilla. I do like the idea of only letting Kyle kneeboard.

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, watch. There you go. No, no, no. This is what you wanted. Do you want a kneeboard? Yeah, and the rest of us...

It's a whole different setup. It, like, takes a long time. The rest of us are just like, I just want a tube or do something fun that we can all do, but... I'm just kind of so fat. I'm just going to basically drag it in the water. Hey, guys. Hey, guys.

Stop the bachelor party real quick. Everybody, stop the bachelor party. Yeah. We got to go kneeboarding. Just Kyle. Just Kyle though. Nobody else. Yep.

Yeah. Well, dude, then I get all the way out there and I get on and I realize I can't float me and you start tugging me and I just go underwater. Okay. And then we got to go tubing. Adam, you said tubing and I got... I'm ready to get tube, baby. That's probably the easiest watersport, right?

Oh, dude, yes. Lake of the Ozarks is a real fun place. I think we're going to have a good throw down. I don't know it as well. I kind of wanted to pick a place that I knew a little better than this, but my family lives there and with everything that my dad's going through, I'm like, let's just make it easy and go there and then that way he'll get a party with us too, so I think it'll be fun. But it is a really fun place.

Absolutely. That's going to be a blast. It's going to be a good old time. Hell yeah, baby. When you guys have gone tubing behind a boat before you play the game where you just try and shake them off, I mean, that's the whole game, right? Yeah. Isn't that tubing?

Yeah. Okay, evil much. Oh yeah. My dad, it was operation, try to kill your friends or like my dad, he was just trying to murder us. And also, it's so scary. I don't even know if I've done it really as an adult man. I remember, like I think I might have been in my early 20s when I did it last.

Last time I did it was 20s. And it was terrifying because I grew up on boats, like my dad's a fisherman, so we always had a boat. So I did it like when I was real. You were a cruise carnival cruise entertainer. I was a carnival cruise kid. I was raised on a cruise. My dad was the captain of a ship.

We grew up on boats. So we always abode it and I remember doing it when I'm like eight years old and just being like, this is the scariest shit, but you can't show your emotion. You can't show your pussy or else your uncles will make fun of you for the rest of your life. Right, right. Nothing worse than that. That was me and Blake on bicycles a week ago, just bombing hills.

It's the scariest shit on planet Earth. Yeah, they're like, what are you guys doing speed up? You have the motors. Shit. Didn't have the tires. We were riding on slicks. As I said last week, we're on slicks. Wow.

True that. Oh man. How big is the squad? I mean, we can talk about this later, but how big is the squad of the bachelor party? I think 30, 40 guys. No, I think probably about 20. Oh yeah. Give me a hell yeah.

That is a dude fest. That's a squad. I think it's going to be a real sweaty dude fest. That is a carnival of dudes. That is nice. It's going to be fun. Is Chloe doing a bachelorette party? She is.

She's going to do it in wine country, I believe. Oh yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, dude. That'll be a little more classy than our debauchers. What do we think about the ones where they do it together? Oh yeah.

That's what me and Marissa did. We did that. We did a co. Yeah. I remember it. It was fine. We almost did that just because we have, you know, basically all the same friends. So it would have been pretty fun.

But I don't know. I kind of want to just like a true bro down and I think I think this will be a good place to do it. So that's my boy right there. Friendship. Yeah, man. Good for you. Yeah, keep it.

Yeah, keep it true. Keep it true. I'm going to keep it true. Keep it true. Lots of farting, beer. True form. You know what we should do is bring podcast with women, do a live from the bachelor party. Just sloppy as hell.

I love that. Kyle's the only one that can keep a sentence together. The rest of us just like, I tell you what, man. All right. All right. I would like that. That would be very fun. It would work.

But if we could have like the guys who are there, not us, but like whoever it is to kind of come on and tell a story or like say something about you that they appreciate. There we go. For the podcast. That'd be fun. Yeah, that'd be a fun bachelor party. Let's do the Roast of Adam Devine on Pod. Oh, the Lake of the Ozarks.

That sounds fun. It's the Bro Roast. The Broast. Yeah. The Broast. The Broast of Adam Devine. That's good. Lake Brozark.

Yeah. I'll do the Bro Bro. Lake Brozark. Oh, God. I'm making t-shirts. Lake Brozark? Yes, please. This is a money idea.

For sure I have to. We all have to wear sashes and I have to wear like a dumb crown or science. You know how like bachelorette parties, they'll always wear like bachelorette party sashes. We're doing that, but we're not women. I think on my bachelor party, we ran into a bachelorette party and Blake ended up wearing a veil with a bunch of dicks on it. That seems right. Yeah, that sounds about right. That sounds right.

I think I brought it in. I think I have that picture. We're cutting to it now. I remember at your bachelor party where we, there was that machine in the bar that you blew into and it told you how, it was a breathalyzer at the bar. Right, there we go. And it was just operation who was the drunkest and we were like, no, I swear, you are way drunker than me. This does not make sense. This does not make sense.

I shouldn't be blowing harder than you. You just fucking falling down. You saw how he fell down earlier. Yeah, that was the best. That was straight buffoonery. I just remember standing outside of our hojo, eating some cookies at like three in the morning and one at a time stragglers would just come back. Like my brother just showed up out of the mist and like, I don't even think he said anything to us. He just like walked past into the hotel.

We're like, all right, get some sleep, man. And then my homie Adrian just showed up and was like, hey, I was looking for food and we're like, everything's been closed for just hours. And I think Toof got like beat up one night. Oh, shit. Toof got, Toof got me back. I remember I could not find my way back and Toof was like not making. He was on one. He cut the nipples off of his shirt.

Yes. I'm still going to send it. And I saw him. He wasn't speaking. He was speaking in like, he was going like. Right, right, right. That's his thing. And I was like, what the fuck?

Do you know how to get back to the hotel? And he did, but he couldn't speak. And your one friend was arrested. Oh, yeah. I'm still going to send it. Bernie Lomax will keep his name and code got arrested for like pissing on the back of a bar or something like that. And he got taken to the drunk drunk tank. And I think somehow he was like tweeting saying like free Bernie.

And then we all got in the Hojo airport. Yes. Shuttle. Yeah. Shuttle and went to go pick him up with all those. Yeah. Wait, was it a Hojo or a Trouble Tree? It was a Trouble Tree.

Trouble Tree. Yeah. At like 6 a.m. somehow we all like stayed up or something. Somehow we're able to like pick him up somehow. Yeah. I don't know how. Wow. We all picked him up like as soon as he was released from jail and we're all chanting.

I'm like, that's a good bachelor party. That's what I'm trying to do. He was a good time. If anyone wants to volunteer to be the one to get arrested, someone, you know, I would love to see it. Okay. Noted. Yeah, that would be great. We'll see how it plays out.

Yeah. We'll see how it plays out. I feel like with 20 dudes, odds are high. They're good. Yeah. I feel with the dude crew that we're rolling with that somebody's going to do something dumb and get arrested. So pretty excited about it. I'm down.

I don't know who's going to be there, but if a certain person's going to be there, I'm putting my money on them. I don't know if they'll be able to make it. Okay. We'll see. A certain someone. What person? Money is on a certain someone. Oh, yeah.

Don't blast them. Yeah. What's the code? Are you going to code it up? Can I give you a hint over the? Let's see over the airwaves. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. He is invited. Yeah. Wine mouth is going to get arrested for sure. Wine mouth will get arrested and I want that for him. Me too. Alrighty then.

And guys, any takebacks, apologies or epic slams or compliments? Well, right out the gate, I have to apologize to my brother Anders for just really going at you about the America's funniest videos theme song. You were 100% correct. Sorry. I appreciate that. And I want to apologize to myself for knowing that theme song. You know, I feel like it's taking up space in my brain and I don't know my kids' birthdays. Kyle, what do you got?

I would like to compliment Toof for his lizard brain at three in the morning that time in Madison, Wisconsin, because I don't know that I would have made it back to the Trouble Tree without you, Toof. I hope you're doing well out there in friendship. And his name's Alex now. Okay, Alex. Well, he's a man. Toof a.k.a. Alex Rock and Roll, buddy. That's not best friend. Rock and Roll out there.

Keep it real. He's doing it. I would just like to thank you guys for, you know, just doing this podcast with us every week. And I feel like this is a great bonding moment for the four of us. Friendship. It is. Every week. It's like a bachelor party every week.

This is like a bachelor, because, you know, a lot of times we talk when we're, but it's work stuff, you know, and we're just doing work stuff. And this is a fun way to also where technically this is work stuff, but it's also fun stuff, you know, and we're just bullshitting. I actually consider it workaholics, but I don't know. Well, don't. See, that's where you can't. Again, don't say that. That's a good take back. Workaholics with a huge ensemble cast.

I would like to take a moment of appreciation for just the four of us and our friendship and power and perseverance. Is this take two? This is great. I like that. I would also like to take a moment for our friendship and our power and our perseverance and just respectfully appreciate us. This is important. I just did that though. Right.

I just did take three. You know what? I'll take this opportunity to apologize to Tommy Lee. I know you're listening. Oh, yes. I let you down in a major way. I let myself down in a major way that night by not doing any of those several Jagermeister shots you lined up at four in the morning. It was just the two of us.

You remember that could have changed our whole course trajectory. Yeah, I could have joined the band. What would have happened? You would have taken it. You would have been like, you're the new Nikki Six. I would have been Jersey Six. And if I could just apologize to Jeremy Piven just for not knowing my lines and not hitting my mark and just all around. Not a professional.

I'm so sorry, sir. Yeah, that's rough. And I want to take back saying that he seemed like kind of an asshole when I met him at the gym. Hey, you might have been busy. Things might have been on your mind from one asshole to another. It's copacetic, pal. And I'd like to compliment him just on how tight his six pack was and his whole chassis when I saw him. There's no denying it.

He's got a chassis. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen him in person running and running in Canyon with his shirt off in many years, but it was real proper. So big compliments to his past self. I want to be on you. I feel like he has great body hair. Okay, okay. He's got good lines.

Compliment to that. Compliment to the body hair. I think he's got goods. And yes, and next, Todd, we will be touching upon happy trails. So tune in next week. Isn't it nice when the body hair just kind of forms and it kind of looks like when it goes straight down and kind of gives you abs even when you don't really have abs. That's the perfect body hair that you have. Oh, my God.

That's a big thank you to God. Thank you, God. Can we admit that out of the four of us, Adam probably has the best body hair? Oh, absolutely. I can admit that. I can admit that. Hands down. Because you do have like a full frontal coverage.

Yeah, I'm a baby cub. I love it. Yeah. And we're posting that picture now. I'm a California sun bear. Beautiful. I recently trimmed it because my character. California sun bear.

That's right. I'm my character Kelvin on the Righteous Gemstones. He's like real shirtless this season and is flexing a lot. And I feel like he wouldn't have body hair. He'd be like the kind of guy to like wax himself and shit. Right. So I am. I am shaving.

Yeah. The character you're playing for sure. Yeah. Yeah. You wouldn't have waxed your chest if you weren't doing this character. We get it. I've never done it before. I'm not.

I'm not saying. And it's not that this is a perfect excuse. I didn't wax it. I buzzed it. It's a little, you could see it's still there, but it's real tight. Screenshot. Yeah. That looks good.

It's real tight. Yeah. Thank you. Look at those nipples. Thank you. I do have nice looking nipples. All right. And this is another episode of.

This. What are we doing? It is. We're goggles. It's important. It is. It's important. It's important.
