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 it in a 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.

obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This Is Important. Is it cool if I get a pump in real quick? Clothing's so fucking dumb, dude. Tonight on Sneaky Rich Assholes. Let's go! Yeah! Happy Sunday Sunday Sunday! Let's go!

You guys ever go to a monster truck rally? The Sunday Sunday Sunday shit from back in the day? Yeah, I did as a kid. Absolute freaking Lutely. Who was that hot shit? It was the Bigfoot. Yeah, Gravedigger took the reins, but yeah. Oh, Bigfoot was sick. Gravedigger is a classic. But Bigfoot was old school. Gravedigger came after Bigfoot too. Right, that's true. Gravedigger had that whole different body type kind of look like a hearse

a little bit. I'm like two months older than you, Blake. So in those extra couple months, I gained some extra knowledge. Yeah, you were all Bigfoot and then all of a sudden Gravedigger hit the scene. That's my generation. Yeah, your generation. Bigfoot had a cartoon. Gravedigger has had longevity. I would equate Gravedigger is the undertaker as Bigfoot is the Hulk Hogan. Oh, okay. Well, who's Cain? Who's Cain then, okay? If you want to? El Toro.

Oh, you know a third? El Toro. You know a third? Yeah, come on, man. I know a fourth. You want to know the real hot shit? Medusa. It was the pink one. Yeah, girl drove the drove the shit. It was sick as fuck. One minute or a girl. Yeah. It was a young girl. It was a little girl without a driver's license. That was part of the allure. Just rocking around in there. That's why it was so crazy. I love it. Yeah, it was fucking cool.

Yo, that shit's so loud. When you go to those, they're like, where are your plugs? And you're like, I'll be okay. Yeah, I'm straight. Where are your plugs? It's so loud. Did you go recently or? I went a few years ago for a kid's birthday party and it was at Staples Center, aka crypto.com arena. Tales from the crypt. I love going to the crypt on the weekend. You heard. Yeah, Gravedigger is home.

It was so loud. I couldn't believe it. I definitely went. I went at, I think it was the Angel Stadium in Anaheim. And actually the game has kind of changed a little bit because when I was a kid, it was just running over like a bunch of like demolished cars, right? There wasn't much to it. Now they do like, and I don't know, it's kind of weak or whatever, but it's like, who can do the longest basically like tire stand on their back and they like time them for how long they, it takes more skill. That takes years to hone that in. But yeah, I guess it kind of sucks.

What do you mean tires? What does that mean? So they kind of like wheelie up on their two back wheels and they just kind of try to stay on two, you know, fucking whack. And then they also do, they do racing now as well. And it's just, it's a whole different vibe. Like I think the best truck now. They used to do racing. Did they? Yeah, there was racing involved.

All I remember is total destruction. Right. I mean, racing's not like a new thing. Yeah, they've been racing since the dawn of time. Oh no. Like they just came out with, since like 2010, they like suddenly came up with racing. Racing's been around a while, Blake. Perfect. Yeah, yeah.

Since the first Olympics. Yeah, might be the oldest sport. Racing is the oldest sport. Do you think racing is the oldest sport? But I also remember like whoever was the best, he was like a total like monster bro now, of course, not monster trucks. I'm talking monster energy. Monster energy. Yeah, but he had skills.

He could do it on the hit. He could stand on his front tires. An endo. He could stand on his back tires. Let's just say I came out of there with some merch. Okay. Because they're merch game. Let's say it. Adam, should we say it? I don't want to say it. We can. Do we say it?

It came out of there with some merch. All right, let's go. Shut up, bitch. What's up, Adam? You're rubbing your eyes. You look, you actually look good. You look like a British hip hop artist. Yeah, you look like you're on some grime shit. Grime.

Skepto over here. Isn't it? You look like a grime artist, isn't it? Yeah, come on, brother. Well, our manager Isaac and myself. Fire him. Maybe we should maybe we fire him after last night. No, we. I'll piss now.

We had to shoot. We shot yesterday. So I worked all day on a sat a day. And that's how we do. That's how I do. Right up the rock. Never stop working. I'm basically the rock a lot of people say. And then afterwards we celebrated like we won

a national championship or something. Yeah, you're not done. You still have two weeks. We asked to have weeks to go. We went and we didn't even go out. There's a there's an SDK in my building. Where I'm staying in. Yeah, it's like a nice steak restaurant.

We go there and we ate at the bar. Wasn't anything like special. And then we just proceeded to like shots. Like a bartender. We took shots just ourselves. Like specialty shots. Like what kind of shots are we talking? We're going straight to Kila.

This guy goes from shots on set to shots at the bar. Yeah, he never stopped shooting. And then it got a little admittedly it got a little wave from us. And I am hungover. And it is 1.15 in the afternoon. And I'm used to getting up at 5 a.m. And I slept until 15 minutes ago. Hey, what happened?

Damn, that's crazy, dude. Yeah, dude. Thanks for getting up. Thanks for joining us. Hey, it means a lot. Just the fact that you fucking showed up to the pod. T.I.I. or die. I'm T.I.I. or die.

Other people that were part of our podcast, maybe they weren't. Maybe they weren't. Maybe they died. Maybe they died to us. But I'm sure, I'm not sure. I have no video evidence of whether some people are dead or not. And we don't care. We don't care.

Yeah, we don't. I don't care. It doesn't affect us. It doesn't hurt us. It doesn't affect us at all. Never think about it. It doesn't hurt. I don't look at the screen looking for another window up there

with a person in it. I don't. It is shady that Kyle released. Oh, OK. Get this off your chest. That he released and notes the sort of statement. Screenshot statement. Screenshot.

Yeah. Right. Is that him or is that his people? We don't know. We don't know. We don't know if he's alive. Right. Yeah.

You know, I did see some comments where people are like, we deserve more than a notes screenshot because that is. Well, I don't know if the... Hey, people relax. We deserve more. No, they do. They do. Well, that is...

It does seem like that is the lowest form of apology in today's society. Correct? Is you hit... You put your thoughts out on notes, you screenshot it, and then you send it to all your platforms. It's not very personal. But then it's... Hey, then it's bye, bitch.

I will say the guy is busy. This is how busy people do it. Right? No. He's too busy for the pod. That's lying. Nope. Nope.

Not buying it. Well, I'm saying though, you could... Are you saying he's an asshole or is this a bitch move? I'm saying my boy might be venturing into asshole territory and I'm here for it. We've covered it. It's bitch and asshole combined. He's both. He's one of the first people to be built.

Wow. That's pretty cool. Watching him transform into an asshole. It's like an altered beast. But we did say that it's... Power up. Oh, that's a good one for the board. Yeah, that's really...

I got to get that for the board. Holy shit. Power up. We did say that as soon as it was just the three of us... Yeah, we said that. The pod was going to really take off. And do you think it's a coincidence that all of a sudden, last week, everybody's like, you guys were the number one pod I listened to?

I think it made the numbers jump. Yeah, for sure. Our Spotify rankings were insane. Well, yeah, last... And also last week, we were like number 15 in the world as far as pod. Yeah. So, I don't know. In a category or just period?

No, in period, I think. And it's not definitely a category. I don't know. I didn't check it myself. Someone told me once. Yeah. But I mean, it was very, very, very cool to see us as number one on a lot of people's Spotify podcast list.

TII Nation really representing for us. It felt nice. I think it had a lot to do with Kyle leaving that we were people's number one podcast that they listened to all year. I think that had... It has to. It's not a coincidence. I'm great at math and good at...

The thing you're doing now? Just understanding stuff. So... Yeah, absolutely. Do you think we've gotten any Aruguloid converts who stayed and all of a sudden, they've got to pick a new car? Racer to circle back to the eldest sport. Yeah.

They were bigfoot people. Now they're switching to Medusa. I think it's possible. I think it's possible because what are you going to do? You're just going to leave the pod because you're champion-like? Slide into Blake's DMs if you've switched. I think what we're learning is that the Aruguloids, the numbers just weren't there. There was a few people ironically being Aruguloids.

They're wishy-washy. Yeah, and they came right over. Pizza, pizza. Honey, you don't understand it. They're ironic Aruguloids. I'm making this sign as a joke. I'm going to hold it up and screenshot it. Here's the other thing.

I was kind of tossing around the idea of... Because it does feel good to have four people on the screen. Do we build his position? There's a few names that came down the... Is it pipe or pike? Pike. I've been saying pipe my entire life. Okay, down the pike.

Not sure what that means. Yeah, but what? I heard people... It comes down the pipe. It would seem that way. I don't know what a pike is. That seems like an old word. A pike is...

Like a turnpike? A road? Yeah. Yeah. Like a freeway? Yeah, it's coming down the pike. Yeah, that doesn't seem real at all. No, that's fake.

What's cool is that somebody for sure said it first, yeah, it's coming down the pike. And then someone's like, I'm going to start saying pipe. Yeah. You should say pipe. And the guy goes, all right, man, I just said it. I'm drunk. Me and my manager were out last night.

Yeah, all night. Well, do we fill this spot? Who are the suggestions? I mean, I saw Eric Griffin's name coming up, Montez. That would be kind of cool. That's a lot of energy. Do you want that in here? It's a lot of energy.

Yeah, I don't know if we want all that. Are you sure? Well, Adam, you... I have a love hate with E.G. Love his comedy, Hate Him as a Person. So, come on out. So yeah, maybe not. I think I'll just...

We should just go on his podcast once every year and a half. That's... Yeah, that's way too often. I have told the story about the first time I met Eric Griffin on his podcast, where he was like in the... Oh, yeah, tell it now. Basically, we were... Should I?

Do you really want me to? Yeah, we got Time to Kill. I would love that, Blake. Well, basically... The fans want to know. So, we were in the writer's room writing Season 1 of Workaholics, and this is when we were looking for the characters we had written into the show, where we were holding auditions.

We hadn't cast yet. Right, we were... Adam's got tiddies out. Adam's... Rubbin' his nipples. Blake, continue. We were holding auditions for the roles in the same building that we wrote the show in. And I had left the writer's room to go to the break room

to get probably some string cheese, since we repped really hard for string cheese. Yeah. Mootown Snackers. I'm a Tillamook boy. Yeah, and Eric Griffin was in the break room a day early. His audition was the day after. And you know, Eric, he was just kind of like, I'm here early, or you do a great impression, Adam.

I'm not the best Eric Griffin impersonator. But he basically was like, yo, I'm here a day early. And I fucked up, and I'm like, hey, man, it's cool, whatever. And I went back to our writer's room, and I'm like, I just met Montez. He's basically a Sinbad impersonator. And Adam was like, who is it? I'm like, Sin worse. I was like, it's Eric Griffin.

And I remember you came in, you're like, I just met Montez. And I'm like, oh, shit, who? And you were like, Eric Griffin. And I know Eric from doing stand-up. And I'm like, hard pass. Absolutely not. No. I'm going to say the name.

No. Because Eric is, I've become really good friends with Eric. Go off. But Eric is a total asshole, you know? No, he's super nice. He's super nice. He's super nice. But when you're coming up and stand up, he was just like, really mean?

What? What? He was mean? That is not what I expected. Like, was he like checking you kind of thing? Like that kind of comedy guy, very nice. Just trying to push you just to test you. Yeah, no, he was like, he's like the sage old vet.

And he would always treat me like the rookie. Really? Well, because he was nervous. He was like, this guy's funnier than me. It wasn't like he wasn't mean, it wasn't like mean or whatever. But he was like, I'm the veteran. He's the rookie. That sort of dynamic.

And so when I was like, well, it's my show now. I don't want this guy to come in and treat me like the rookie when I'm the boss. So that was the initial response. But then he crushed his, I'm the boss. So you wanted to exact revenge on him. You wanted to be like, oh, you should have been nicer to me. Well, and I have for a decade now. So that is the origin.

That's where all the malice comes from? Yeah, absolutely. Wow, the tables have turned. This guy keeps tabs. But then he crushed his audition and he was super funny. And, you know, has become a great buddy of mine. A household name. Yeah, why is stand up like that?

Why are people so cutthroat and mean to each other and stand up and not uplifting at all? Because stand-ups are angry loners. Well, you have to be, yeah. Yeah. I mean, for the most part, I think, yes, stand-ups are angry loners. And you have to be a little bit of an ego maniac and even to want to do it. Where you're like, what the shit that I'm saying is important enough to go on stage. That shit's important.

So there's levels to it. That shit's important. There's people that are pretty chill and cool. And then there's Eric Griffin, that fucking asshole. Who's the chillest and coolest? Who's the person you met right off? Right off the bat that you were like, oh my god, they were so cool for no reason. Didn't have to be.

I mean, there's a lot of people like, I feel like the more successful you get, it's always when you're first starting out that everyone is just total maniacs because they're just sort of elbowing their way in. But like Sarah Silverman was super cool. That's it. Like, yeah, basically that Drew Carey was really, really cool, really nice. David Tell was really cool. We talked about how he bought us a drink in there.

And wanted us to leave him alone. I used to jerk off in plants with Louis CK. Me and him used to do that together. Okie dokie. Did we talk about how Drew Carey during like the writer strike in the aughts? Trying to cancel myself. Six or something. Get ahead of it.

He had a running tab at, what's the fucking restaurant? Swingers. Was it Swingers? Yeah. Was it Swingers? Yeah. Bob's Big Boy too. I think it was Bob's Big Boy and Swingers.

And Carl's Jr. Open tab. We're just naming restaurants. And if you had your Writers Guild card and you showed it to the person at the register, they would, your meal was comped. Because like people were out of work. That's fucking sick. Yeah.

That is fucking cool. That's a flex. That Drew Carey's the fucking man. Yeah. He basically did that to be like, this is my town, bitch. Yeah. He's an asshole. You heard it here first.

That's an asshole movie. That's a flex. Oh, you're gonna pay for that meal? No, you're not. What a dick. Well, he's sneaky like the richest motherfucker of all time. Oh my gosh. Over Elon Musk?

Yeah, more so than the Bezos boys. Yeah. Yeah. He's, Drew Carey is an empire dude. He's got an island and everything. Yeah. And his sneaky money is just from the Drew Carey show slash prices, right? Drew Carey's show stand up and then prices right now.

The stand up money is sneaky, by the way. I don't know if people at home know how sneaky the stand up money can get. It's so sneaky. It's quiet. It's quiet so, but it'll sneak right up on you. It's big and you don't know it's there. Well, yeah, you don't have to pay anybody. Like when bands go on the road, they have to pay like sound techs and roadies.

Right, pyrotech. And tons of pyrotech. And split it four ways. And then split it how many people are in your band. You gotta divvy all that up. And so it doesn't come out of the wash as clean as that stand up money. That's fucked up to think like the bigger your band is, like the more you got to pay out like, right?

Yeah, no wonder why fucking Grateful Dead and the string cheese incident are just doing 11,000 shows a year. How many people are in their band? By the way, they are the richest, but how many people are in their band? Lots of merch. It seems like a hundred. Like 12. Yeah.

I don't know. I feel like huge like slipknot's really big. They have a guy who like hits a trash can and that's just his job. Wait. You got to cut that guy at some point. Real quick sidebar. I was when I was in Alabama, real quick sidebar, watching Fox News in the gym on the TV.

And the dude as you do as just a right winger, a guy from Guar came on to like comment. Was he in full regalia? Oh, yeah. What? They were like, I did. I shit you not. I was like, wait, what is this?

He was wearing the outfit guy. Whatever the news name is from Guar. We're all fans. We all love it's like odorous flatulence or something. I don't know. They have funny names. I'm not the biggest Guar fan. They eat people on stage.

It's a lot of fun to watch. What was the topic where they like? I mean the sound was off. Yeah, we were going to storm the Capitol, but you know, fucking, we had a gig, dude. They would have recognized us. Oh, wait. Hang on.

Wait a second. So he was on Fox News. Yes. Dude, I thought he walked into your gym in full regalia. That was. Hey, brother. I was. Did you spot me?

I thought he just like walks in like he has a show there. No. Wow. Oh my God. Yeah, brother. Just like swung by the gym to like check it out. They're doing puns again and Guar's hosting it. Is it cool if I get a pump in real quick?

We were watching you. Is it cool if I get a real quick pump in? No. Is it cool if I turn it to Fox News real quick? Guar, dude, is on Fox News, not in my gym in Alabama. All right. Hey, that makes a lot of sense. Both, by the way, preposterous.

What was he? Yeah. What he must. I don't know. The sound was off. I mean, it must have. I can only is just like gas prices or something. We got to get out of the Middle East, man.

Right. Yeah. I don't know. The Guar on drugs. I don't know. Oh, shit. Oh, hold on. I got to find my points, but the Guar on drugs, dude.

Yes. Points. Got to be a little quicker, Beezer. I'm sorry, it's early. 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

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 gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me. Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Queen Charlotte the official podcast, Thursdays on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. But anyway, sorry. Yes, bands expensive, but the sneaky standup money. When you find out that like, who's, who's dude who has the old black dude in Vegas has a residency?

Sneaky money. Oh, um, wither, witherspoon. No, no, no. RIP. He's Seinfeld's buddy. Looks like Balrog from Street Fighter. Yeah, yes. He's Seinfeld's buddy.

Looks like Balrog. Looks like Balrog. What? I cannot. I'm blanking on his name. I have it if I wouldn't have had a 38 whiskey drinks last night. I would know it. But like, and didn't take your homie Taylor Williamson, like,

who's the guy who like drinks some Ron White? He like drove Ron White to the airport all the time and is in his Rolls Royce and shit. Yeah, he would. Taylor would get paid like 500 bucks, which, you know, especially like when we were. Sneaky money. When we were two, like when we were like 19, 20 years old, that's a fortune, obviously, you know. And so like that should make your month and he get like 500 bucks to drive up to Santa Barbara and like bring his car down to LA because he was like, you know, catching flights and just

wanted his car to be there. Jet setting, sneaky stand up money. Yeah. And you know, I mean, I think Sebastian's number one right now. I think he makes like 15, 20 million a year. Oh, dude, he's doing nuts. He's do he just did. Let's go.

He did four different stadiums in New York night after night after night after night all sold out like Barclays and then Madison Square Garden, wherever the fucking New Jersey Devils play. And then he's going to do back to back, back to back sold out shows at the United Center in Chicago fucking. Holy fuck. What? It's cool seeing all these guys like truly blow up because I mean, these were all those were

the guys that were sort of the the guys that were next up when I first got to LA. Like they were the they were the guys being dickheads. Los Angeles. No, they were. They were all pretty cool. Sebastian was cool. I mean, I didn't know him all that well, but you could just tell he was still like working as a waiter somewhere.

He would talk about. Yeah. He worked at the Four Seasons and Beverly Hills or something like that, something like that. And he would talk about that in his act when he was getting up at the comedy store and to see him be like the biggest star in the world is pretty cool. It is nuts. But by the way, it's nuts, but also sneaky. It's also nuts, but sneaky.

It's really sneaky money. Like I know I said they were what I say, angry loners. But yeah, they turn into sneaky rich people. You rich assholes. It's crazy tonight on sneaky rich assholes. I'd watch that. Did you guys ever have to do like, I was just remembering, did you guys ever do like odd jobs like you were talking about Taylor like driving up and for 500 bucks, which sounds

like a freaking dream gig back then? Did you have to do like, I remember task rabbit. Did you ever get to the point where you were just picking up weird ass side jobs like that? Like, I remember going to somebody's garage and like building a shelf. You were a task rabbit. You were a task. Yeah. Yeah.

I did a task rabbit as like an experiment. No, I, I, as I needed to pay rent. Can you imagine you need to get some furniture built? Sorry I'm late. It took me four hours to find your place. Yeah. I drove the wrong way down the freeway. I didn't bring tools.

Did I need some? Okay. Yeah. My bad. I thought I could just screw the shit in by hand. That's all cool. No, all it really was, I remember just like building people's Ikea furniture. How did you find them before task rabbit?

Wait, I don't, how did I not know this about you? I mean, I was living with you at the time that you were doing this, correct? Sneaky. Yeah, absolutely. You're making this sneaky. But you were an angry loner, Adam. I was, I was busy being an angry loner. You didn't give me the time of day, man.

You don't remember how, how poorly you treated me. Just didn't even look in my direction, never asked me how I was doing. Yeah. How do you think all that furniture in your fucking apartment got built, man? Yeah, man. No one's task-grabbited me. That's the exact opposite. When we were roommates, I wanted to hang out with Blake all the time,

and he just wanted to count his change sitting cross-legged on his bedroom floor. That's all he wanted to do. I did, I definitely did. I'd come into his room, he was always counting his, yeah, he was always like counting his like pennies and nickels. Yeah, well, you know, I had like a, I had like a little, what are you, a coin jar or whatever. Remember when you would get the, the fucking sparklets like water jug and try to fill it with change? We talking coin star action here?

We back to it? That's the thing, you didn't use coin star. Coin star takes a fucking cut, dude. Yeah, that's what, I was like, just take it to coin star. They'll, they'll count it for you. Hell no. And I'm also like, even the bank will count it for you. No, no, no, no, no.

You buy sleeves, you, you, you count them out in stacks. You fill the sleeves. Time's money. No, I'm not about to give a coin star what they take like. The bank does it for free. You just go to the bank? No, not, not a big ass sparklets jug. You're not going to count my whole sparklets jug.

They pour it into a thing. They just put it into a machine. They pour it into a thing. It's not like some poor woman has to sit back there and count penny by penny like you do on your bedroom floor. Yeah. Hey, also, I didn't have much to do. It was between task rabbits. Blake's very tact, he's a tactile person.

He likes the smell of the coins on his fingers. Yes, absolutely. And so, and so, when you say that about me, I'm not giving you the time of day. I would always come in. I'd be like, hey, let's go do some, I mean, we even dated, room it. Yeah, I, yes, I know. I couldn't shake you. So, I want it.

So, like, when we would, I, I, I, and the only reason I dated that girl was to get closer to you. Wow. Stop. Perfect. Zip it. I just want to be closer to you, dude. You're not that guy, pal. Trust me.

Dude, I never got sick of Blake. Blake immediately was like, I'd be, he'd go like, hey, are you going over to their house tonight? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you. And he's like, then no, then no. I gotta count my coins. I'm just going to sit here. Dude, fuck, he's a carpooling to our girlfriend's house. I mean, you say about your ass smart.

You guys have always been ahead of the curve. Always been sneaky. Dude. So task grab it. So, uh, I, I did not know. I thought task grab it came after we had done the show. It did. Blake was doing Craigslist or something.

It must have been Craigslist then. I would like go down the thing and it would say, we'll pay you. I could also see Blake. We did season one of War Collox and Blake being like, well, I'm going to pick up a few task grab it. So. Right. The jobs were usually easy and you get a good story out of them. It'd be kind of sick to re-enter.

Hey, Blake, what's one story? What? Name one. You fucking idiot. Name one. I got plenty of real things that will just have you rolling on the floor. He's a bagel. Name one good story that came out of this.

There's plenty. There's plenty. I was in this garage and I like put this bookshelf together and the girl turned out to be just this girl. She's like, do you want water? And I was like, okay. Wait, is there like something in the water or something? I don't know.

And there wasn't. And there wasn't. It was just water. So it was just water. Three hours and $20 later. No, I never did. Well, I mean, when we first got to LA, I remember me and our old podcast member. I can't remember his name.

I can't remember his name. Frickin' Sia. Frickin' Sia. Kyle Betray me. Then Eli tried to hide. We did like in the middle of the night, it was illegal what we were doing. Usually. We would go and break into people's homes.

We were campers, essentially. They're sleeping to take their shit. We'd steal necklaces. Oh, dude. We were necklace thieves. And then jerk off in their plants. He was a huge Louis C. K. Van, our old podcast member. Goodbye.

No, we would do like we're a street team, which is what we, we found this on Craigslist. Oh, I know you're talking about. For like, I don't even know what we made. I think it was like zero money, but we had to put up like a thousand posters of like bands or different movies that were coming out, but not like popular movies. They hire like professional people. This was just like some fucking Craigslist shit. So it was, it was like some independent film that was coming out.

And it's us just vandalizing bus stops by putting this posters everywhere. Well, that comes full circle. Because do you remember when we were at OCC, we would actually steal the posters out of the bus stops? Do you remember when we would do that? Like we would go out on straight up missions. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly.

Yeah. And then you kept jerking off in those potted plants. I remember that. Yeah. I love it. I like to take, I like to take these stories from two years ago and then rehash them and put them on us. By the way, wasn't that the other guy?

Harvey Weinstein was the guy who did that? Not Louis CK? Yeah. Louis CK didn't jerk in the pots. That was Weinstein's money. Oh, was he? There's so many to keep straight now. It's like Jesus Christ.

Well, I feel like if, no, Louis CK was jerking off in front of girls, right? Different than potted plants. Yeah. Yeah, but probably a potted plant was close. Yeah, no, fair enough. Fair enough. Okay. Sorry.

I'm saying he did not jerk off in a pot. It's something might have landed in a potted plant. I'm so sorry. Go ahead. It's okay. Yeah, you never know. You don't know. Adam, were you there the one night?

There was actually a mission we had in OCC. Like there was a night. How do I say it? Wiener snitchel? I got fricking grilled. They see you guys. I like how you say it. Go ahead.

There was a huge, they had this huge banner on the side of the snitches roof that it said Wiener mania. It was like, it must have been fucking 30 feet long. And you're like, I have to have that in my bedroom. I mean, yeah, that's gold. Yeah. And we like rolled up to it at like, I want to say 2.30 a.m. And we hoisted each other up onto the side of the roof and actually pulled it down and

stole it and got it back to Teddy and Kyle's apartment. And they had it up in their house. I wasn't there for that. No. Oh, man. I don't know who Kyle is. Yeah. You mean our old podcast, remember?

So you got a 30 foot long Wiener mania poster? Yeah. I wish we had a picture of it, but that was the other thing that was weird. Did you fold the end back? So it just said Wiener mania? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

Okay. So when you entered the house, you knew what was happening. But that's what was weird. We would like. Wait, what was that? Wieners, man. You better not bring no pot of plants in here. Putt lovin' 69, dudes.

Yeah. And then there was just all you dudes just jerking off the pot of plants and stuff. Well, that's what was weird. Like we legit stole like Harry Potter posters, fucking Lord of the Rings posters. Like these huge, and they're humongous. They're bigger than they appear to be. Larger than life. Yeah.

When you get them on the wall in your apartment, they're fucking big. Yeah. Unbelievable. No, but we didn't flip them. We should have e-bayed that shit. We could, you could make a fucking grip on those big ass nerd posters. Are you kidding me? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. You should have definitely put the thing that you stole on the internet and gotten money for it. And that wouldn't get you any trouble. Yeah, dude. What you need to do is just take some time, get yourself a pot of plants. And you know the rest. I had a weird, I had a weird been in LA too long serendipitous situation of the day where my brother was, he's, he lives in LA.

He works at this like super fancy rich person furniture store, right? We're like. Wait, this is recent, recent story? Yeah, this is like two weeks ago. Okay. And I hadn't been there and I was like, I gotta check it out. And so I'm in there looking at all these crazy things that are like, you know, $15,000 fucking end tables and shit and wild boar heads, whatever.

And I'm like, and this is regarding us having weird jobs and I'm looking around the place and I'm like, yeah, this is fucking cool. This is crazy. And he goes, yeah, it used to be a nightclub. And I was like, oh my God. And he was like, what? He's like, did you used to go there? And I was like, no, but like you guys know John and my other homies who are like painters

and shit and like graffiti dudes, they got hired to paint the like murals in this nightclub in like 2004 and brought me in to do some like extra painting and shit around it. And I was like, this used to be called the Highlands Nightclub. I fucking painted this mural here. And now it's just some totally. Was the mural still up? No, totally revamped. But I was like having crazy flashbacks and he was like, oh shit.

Yeah. But I was like, now you work here. I've worked in this space before and now my own blood, my brother is working here too. My brother. That's some LA shit, dude. It just keeps evolving. But yeah, you take weird jobs where your buddy goes, want to paint a nightclub? And you go, sure.

For sure. I'd buy a $15,000 borehead from Oli. Oh, the boreheads are way more. That's a good gig for him. I could, I could see somebody just buying some really dumb shit from your brother. Dude, get this. I like, I buy what would be, I guess, like buy in large expensive furniture. Okay.

But then there's a whole other level where like this place you essentially come in and you go, I want that, that, that, that, that, that and you can rent it in your room to like at home. Like they bring it to your house and you rent it weekly. Oh, to see if you like it. For like $20,000 a week to see if you like it. Oh, God. What? I'm pissed now, depending on how much you got.

Wait, so is this, because I know they do that for like, if you're trying to sell your home, you can like stage it with furniture and rent it for a time being. It's not going to be there forever. But it's not that. It's like just seeing if you're comfortable with it in your home and you like it. Exactly. And if you don't like it, you can send it back, but you have to pay to rent it. That's insane.

So you have to have sneaky stand-up money in order to even. Yeah, you got to. Your money has to come in real sideways. Yeah. You got to have some super sneaky sneak up on you. You got to be like trying to get through sideways money in. Like straight up task rabbit goat, like just tons of them. Yeah.

You got to be like that lady at Netflix who packs the most DVDs into the sleeves faster than anybody else kind of money for sure. That's fucking crazy. It costs that much to rent it. So that furniture just is insane. It's just an insane amount of money. It's crazy. I was like, well, let me just, oh, this is a comfortable chair.

And you looking like this is $35,000 for just like armchair or whatever. It's so wild how like there is that jump. Like you can think you're successful or make a lot of money or whatever. But like when it's like clothing or furniture, there's just some like elite level shit. Clothing is so fucking dumb, dude. Yeah. Like fucking like you're spending so much goddamn money. There was that store.

I don't know if it's still there, but it was next to the improv double. Yeah, double RL. I was just in the other day. Yeah, I was going to say, but go ahead. There you go. Yeah, I would go in there when it first opened up. I was still working at the improv. Right.

And I would go in there and just be like, oh my God, what if I ever make money? Like I'm going to come in and buy some shit. And then a few years ago, now I have money and I can't afford. I made money. Go off. And so I went in. Sneaky stand up money. I'm going to go, I made that sneaky stand up money and I went in and I was like,

I'm going to buy some shit. And I looked around and I still balked. Yeah, I was like, I was like, no, look at a t-shirt. It was like $90 for a fucking t-shirt. And I'm like, no, fuck this. I'm fucking out of here. What am I doing? I was in there just a few weeks ago on the same day I went to go see my brother.

Big day for you. It was a shoot. Well, you know, when you have to go, like I'm on the east side. And if you have to go on the west side for something early, you'd make the whole day. You find a lot of other shit to do. Yeah. You're like, I'm going to just kind of do this. So I went in there.

I put on this fucking sweater and I was like, this is fucking sick. And he goes, yeah. And that's 1675. This is $1,675. And he was like, yeah. And I was just like, let me slip right out of this fucking big Lebowski looking sweater. Absolutely. Fuck that.

It's fucking crazy. He gets so out of hand so quickly. And I mean, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It gets way more crazy. Right. That's just like looking rugged clothes. Like it's expensive. Yeah.

That's the whole thing. It's like their shit looks like it shouldn't be that expensive. It looks like something that your dad or your uncle's wore when they were fixing the yard. Right. Like when they're doing yard work. You know how you're out there fixing the yard? I always fix the yard. Fixing the yard.

Have you ever had a yard? I've never had a yard. Is it real? You know, they're doing a fucking work outside. And then they come in, they got holes in their shit. From the fixing? Holy shit. You've been out there fixing the yard.

I mean, the sprinkler system fucked, brother. Honey, the yard's broken. Look at those holes. The goddamn yard's broken again. I got the cleats on. I'm aerating the shit out of this thing. I must have punctured a sprinkler. What are you doing out there?

I told you it's broken. I'm fixing the yard. Go to bed. It's midnight. Go to bed. Go to bed. You just like undid your own joke. Go to bed.

What do you mean? It's midnight. That's my point. It's pretty late. Right. It is late. Why didn't you just say it's two in the afternoon for your own joke?

I'm fixing the yard. Go to bed. It's perfectly the time to do that. Dude, you have to go at night. Did it all that shit? But all that shit kind of was, let's be real, it's all trickled down from fucking American apparel. Or no, not American apparel.

What was it? Era, era, era, pasta? Era, pasta? Yeah, and what was the other? American Eagle? American Eagle. That's the one I fucked with. Do you remember when everything,

when we were in high school, everything was tattered and torn and like, what is it, was distressed as a motherfucker? I rocked so many American Eagle dungarees in high school. Damn, son, where'd you find this? I would say 100% of Millard South High School in Omaha, Nebraska in the year 2000, 2001, 2002, wore American Eagle dungarees.

Oh, yeah. 100%. That was in college, the girls' butts, like the gene designs on girls' butts. It was all American Eagle, just crazy. Are you talking specifically pockets or like, remember when there was no back pocket? You take the pockets off so you could grip it right?

Girl butt pockets. Are we talking girl butt pockets? That's a whole ass. Girl butt pockets is something else, man. I'm talking girl butt pockets. Do you remember when girls didn't have butt pockets? They took them off for a second? Mm-hmm.

But it still had like the, it still had the outline from where the pockets were. It still had the outline? Like somebody kind of ripped the pocket off? I don't remember that. That was you? I remember that. Do you remember how they had that look?

That was me. That was me. I rocked those as well. I ripped the pockets. That was one of your task rabbits was, which is ripping pockets off of girl butts. No, sir, I don't like. Just, you could just rip these off.

Do you need a water? Yeah. What's in this water, man? Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark, she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me.

Dude, I will say I was always kind of just like if I could rock girl style with like out getting in trouble or like being judged by my fucking peers. No one's gonna judge you.

There was no butt pocket jeans were kind of fire, dude. Let me tell you something. Go throw them on now and you'll get like PR about it. Yeah. Yeah, right. People will say like you're brave, you know. I feel like that's when it was kind of like a low rise gene. It was dope, dude.

That shit was fire. But also they have purses. Like where are you putting your wallet in your phone? Really? Do you remember how low the low rise was? Oh, for men with them. This is Christ. I mean, I don't remember it really being a man thing.

It was a man thing. Was it? Oh, yeah. But the women's were crazy. The zipper was this. I don't remember that. You were more into the designer gene thing than I know. No, that was like if you were in like the black crows or something,

then you could do the low rise. But other than that, nobody was rocking little. Fever dog. Come on, dude. Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember it being a guy thing. It was. I remember just Christina Aguilera's like literally

her top pussy was hanging out of her. Unreal. You saw a top pus. Out of her many pussies, the top one was hanging out. The top part of the pus. Well, no, it was just it was like super in to just show your tummy off, dude. It was a time for tummies. Yeah.

Big, big tummy phase. The lower part of the tummy. I feel like recently it's been like an upper tummy. Right. You're right. Now it's up. What is the deal with the shirts? They're like, look at the top of my the bottom of my ribs above my belly button.

That's to show off under boob. Do girls not know that's not a good look? No, I think it's a cool look. It's kind of hot. I don't mind it. I don't mind it. OK. What is good about it?

I think what it is, it's it's skin. I feel like any amount of skin is skin. Fair enough. Fair enough. No, you say no more. I get it. It's a skin. You're saying because now girls are kind of wearing the yeah,

the pants way up higher, like almost past the belly button. Right. Right. Well, you know what I think it is is kind of a little bit of a hack. It's almost like when you wear Spanx, like how it kind of like sucks everything in. I don't know. It just makes the it makes the form look nice.

And once again, we know chicks. Dude, we know chicks. Yep. Whatever. Ladies, your form looks nice. Let's bring the let's bring the pants back down. Let's get belly chains back. That was another thing I'm very jealous of.

I wish I had a belly chain without being judged. Wait, you were jealous of it? It got real quiet. Yeah, man. That's fucking cool. That's fucking belly chains are OK. Yeah, no judgment here. But it seems like you're judging.

I'm not. There's no reason here. Why he's full of wonder. Why the more chains on your body, the better. Like, come on, the more you can bling out. You can't do it. You live in Los Angeles, a city where if you want to wear belly chains, more power to you.

I feel like you live in the wild stuff that you could really do whatever the fuck you want to do. And people are like, all right. Yeah, but can I do? I think about this a lot. I'm like, can I truly continue? He's always thinking about that. Yeah.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm constantly on Amazon waiting for the right belly chain to pop up. And they're just not out there. Nobody's producing them. Right. No, it like, can you really reinvent yourself like that hard? Where like, I just like, if I started rocking a belly chain, they'd be like, is Blake really doing this because like his his soul told him to?

Don't you have you met anybody from high school that reinvented themselves when you like run into him again? And you're like, OK, I see that you you you picked a lane and you went right down the pipe. Well, I think you would have to ease into it. I think you first get a belly ring. You got to start wearing some belly shirts. I don't know. I think if you just like, you move to a new town.

I think I think you move into belly shirts. Go on jogs, wear like short shorts and like a belly shirt, like as if it's like an ironic 80s workout type thing. Like a like a like a football practice jersey mesh. There we go. Now we're talking like a Walter Payton poster. And then you get and then you do something like you wear like an earring that hangs down or something.

Yeah, like a feather appears my ear. You pierce your ear. Yeah. And yeah. And it hangs down, which is popular now. Yeah. And then and people are like, OK, he's doing a thing. And then you move on to no pockets on my jeans.

No pocket. You rip them off. You hire a task, a kid to come over your house and task. I go into the live. I show him ripping the pockets off my jeans. I show the transformation happen. And then you've got to get a nipple pierced because I feel like if you have a belly chain, there's like an 85% possibility that you also have a nipple pierced.

By the way, Kid Cudi was just like in my newsfeed of it. And he goes, Kid Cudi shows off his nipple piercing. And I'm like, this is in my newsfeed. And it was just like an open button shirt with his nipple piercing out. Hot, hot, hot, hot. It knows what you like. Oh, it knows. Yeah.

Well, it knows I have a friend who's been thinking about this for a long time. Dude, that's what I'm saying, though. Also with a dude like me, I'm not making waves like that anymore. Dude's like you never do. No, dude's like you do, Blake. You got to believe in yourself. You make waves. Maybe you're not even a dude like you.

Maybe you're a dude like somebody else. Have you thought about that? I'm just saying, I don't know if belly chains is my lane. You said it was. Little Uzi Vert's going to do it first. You're the one saying, you're the one who brought this up. You're talking me off the ledge, brother. I'm done.

I'm just going to be this. Hey, I tried to walk you down the road to show you how to. Right, down the pipe. Yep. Walk me down the fucking pipe, brother. Walk me off the. I'm walking you down the pipe. Walk me off the ledge is what you did.

I just don't think, I don't think I got it. I think if I'm going to like pivot to some other life. Well, I would say out of all of my friends, you've, my close friends, you've taken the biggest swings. And that's just the two of them. Fashion, just the two of you guys. It used to be the one that shall not be named, but no, he's dead to this podcast. Freak to see you.

I'm so afraid of his, but I think you take the biggest fashion swings. You have. Now you found your, your, your lane, right? With what is your biggest fashion swing? Well, he used to remember all the bedazzled shirts he used to rock. Stop it. Yeah, I was asking Blake, but I do think it's kind of better if we let him know. He was like, that was a swing.

That was a swing. I knew he wouldn't bring it up. I knew he wouldn't bring it up. I didn't wear bedazzled shit. What was my biggest swing? Dude, you wore like Ed Hardy bedazzled fucking rock and roll. We covered it. It was Ed Hardy adjacent.

No, no, no. That was a gift. It was a gift. It was affliction adjacent. It was a gift from my stepmother. She was awesome. It was affliction adjacent. It was just addiction.

You know what was kind of a big swing for me, which I was looking back on. I'm like, do I bring it back? I used to rock a fucking bandana headband all the time. Remember that? Oh yeah. Bandana headband? Yeah, like, like, you know. You mean like a cross?

Yeah. Yeah. It's in workaholics. It was like became. Can I tie some? Not a huge swing. That's just a bandana headband that a lot of people know about. And I'm out of here.

Yeah, but I think like, I feel like if I just started to rock a bandana headband. Exactly. You guys would be like, hey, what is he doing? What are you doing, man? Bruce Springsteen style just kind of. Yeah. It's hot out, sweating. It was part of my every day.

I would put that bandana on. But you have long hair. It's like a part of holding your hair back and shit. Sure. Sure. But it was also. It's almost utilitarian. I don't think.

I think your sparkly shirts were more your wardrobe of sparkly shirts. I wasn't wearing that many sparkly fucking shirts, dude. Chill out. How many is that many? Man, I got to dig in the crates and find some old photos. Did you have one or two? I had like three. Oh, no shit.

I had like three. It went from one to three. All right. Damn. Yeah. But that was the style I did. I did find an old photo of myself not too long ago where I was just like, oh, I remember that fucking ugly shirt where it's just like it was like stitching in it.

And there was like a skull and like a ship or something. You were wearing a treasure map for years and we just were afraid to tell you. We were like, he's taking a swing. Let him have it. Adam, you were wearing a pirate costume and you had no idea. You were shopping at a spirit Halloween store and didn't know. I got a pirate costume for Halloween and I just decided to keep rocking it. Yeah.

Yeah. It was cool, dude. Yeah. It was cool. We thought it was an angle. We've all eased into our, you know, our styles. I feel like at this point of life, it's hard to take a big pivot now. It is.

Can I ask you guys something? Do you think I've changed my style at all? No, I think your style is. Zero percent. Yeah. Your style has stayed basically. Pretty bad. Your style stayed pretty bad.

Pretty bad. It's been terrible. No. Like lots of what? Earth tones, lots of like shoes that are kind of casual but can be worn to a nice restaurant. They border. I think now that you have money, you are able to buy nicer shit, cooler shit. It's just the expensive version of what I have.

The expensive version of what you used to wear. I mean, I'm basically the same, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, no swings from us. Like, I don't know. You tried with that leather jacket that one time and that didn't work out very well. Oh, what happened?

Well, I would wear a leather jacket and I found when I wore a leather jacket out, men would try to fight me. Yeah, I do. Really? It's a call to arms. Yeah. Wait, sorry. Was this a leather jacket, pre-money or post-money?

Pre-money. So you got it as like, you were like, fuck, I guess I'm going to get this leather jacket and got it and then. No, it was a thrift store leather jacket. I liked it. Very nice. I liked it. He probably had other dude's pheromones on it is what happened, dude.

You think about that? Yeah. Yeah. The testosterone, they could smell it coming off that high. They were like, oh, this guy fights, but it was the other guy. Yeah. I would find, I would go out and like, people are just a little more aggro with me. And I'm like, I got to go back to my cotton shit or my denim dogs.

Because I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to have fisticuffs every time I go out. Was this like a long, like, Donnie Brasco leather trench coat? Yeah. What kind of leather jacket? With like a tie that goes around it. The one I'm thinking about was, it wasn't even like, there wasn't studs. It wasn't like, I'm trying to be rock and roll or anything. It was a brown leather jacket.

Like Wilson leather. Like a working man. It was, yeah, it was, yeah. And I just remember, it was like multiple times that I'm out that I just felt like people are being a little aggro and I'm like, it's the jacket. Yeah. I'm a man. Can we post a picture of this?

Do we know that? Do we have pictures of this jacket? Yeah. I got, I think I could, I could dig in the crates and find a big post on the day. Did, did it have like a fur collar or anything? Or was it like, like one of those bully bombers? No. And I would, and I would, I would rock a hooded sweatshirt underneath it a lot.

That's when I was like, I rocked the hood of sweatshirt underneath it. I remember this. That was a look too. Yes. I remember this jacket. And maybe, yeah, you were a fucking asshole back then though. That's true. You were a scrappy little comic.

Yeah. Truth be told. Yeah. You were a scrappy little comic. You thought you were the shit. You weren't there yet. And it was like, come on, dude. I wasn't there and Eric Griffin had to put me in the place. He had to put you in his place.

Thank God, Eric Griffin beat your ass behind the improv one. One day. Vagina shark. Yeah, dude. I don't know. There are certain items that ask dudes just beg to be fought. Belly chains are a sign of peace, but leather jackets, it's war. Well said.

God, I remember wearing a pink polo out in Chicago and just 10, at least 10 guys in one night were like, nice polo, F.A. You know the rest. Oh, no. I'm like, and I was like, it's good to be home. And this is, I had been in LA and I came home and look, pink polo. Say what you will. I'm wearing it.

Okay. I had one on. There's what's wrong with wearing a fucking pink polo. I'm sure some of you by the preconceived notions about whatever. Pink is punk. And it was like, I was, because I was working to the cost. Getting shirts for essentially free. And I was like, I'm going to rock this fucking pink one.

This is sick. And just all night fucking brutal. But that's Chicago. Well, why didn't you cry? I would say, yeah, maybe your fashion has changed a little bit because you, I don't see you taking those swings. I don't see you in like a really bright color that often. Yeah.

You're way earth toned. What happened? So you think they were like, hey, come on, man, stop. They're helping me. I think they got to you and you fucking you bitched out. I want to see you wearing more pink, dude. Take it back. I'm not saying I didn't find somebody tonight.

Okay. Allegedly. But I'm saying, but hey, but guess what? I'm saying it now. I did. Let's be clear. I did not. Shut up, bitch.

Oh, and then, and then. Hey, let's kick off. Take that with that. I, I, a few years ago, I bought a leather jacket. I wanted to, I was shopping with Chloe and we were in Beverly Hills. And we went in the Gucci store. Oh, yeah. And I'm like, okay.

Yeah. And I see this jacket and it's fucking dope. The leather jacket's sweet. And I'm like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm going to buy this leather jacket. Notice me. I bought it.

$6,000. It was expensive. I don't know how much it was, but it was at least $3,000. Go ahead. And I, I was like, I'm Nikki standup money. Nikki trusty. And I, I got the, the, the jacket and I wore it that night to a basketball game. And then I posted it like the photographer took a photo of me at the basketball game.

And I posted a photo of, you know, to flex on them. And I didn't realize that the Gucci colors are so known. I thought green and red was just like a cool Christmas Christian thing. You thought it was like a church thing. I thought it was a Christian thing. I'm just trying to be super repping for Jesus. Mad Christmas. No, I just thought it was like a cool, like, I don't know, color pop or whatever.

I don't know if fashion works, but it's evidently sort of thing. And people are like, oh, you fucking, oh, you're a fashion boy. Now you bitch, like, oh, you check like there's that in Chicago bar. Yeah. People are just like calling me like all fancy and I've changed and shit. So I literally haven't worn the jacket since. Can I have that? Can I have that also?

I'll rock that. I need to wear that jacket more. Dude, that's the other catch though. I'm embarrassed. When you start to get up into those, that high end shit is like everything kind of comes with this whole new judgment. Well, that's, that's why you got to go to RRL. So people won't even know.

They're like, look at this fucking dad. Homeless person. Fixing, fixing his yard. Hey, look at this lost camper. You can't just have one toe in the fashion game because as soon as you start like wearing shit that everybody knows, now you're on this whole new level of judgment. You just can't fucking win out here, dude. Dude, you can't, you can't win.

Hey, chill. Hey, so I guess the lesson is wear your pink polo, wear your leather jacket, wear your belly chain, wear some jeans with the pockets ripped off the butt. Your bandana. Just do you, man. Just do what makes you comfortable. Well said. I love it.

I love it. Man. And I think Kyle would sign, sign off on that as well. Kyle's been a big proponent of wearing shit you never should, but just did. Absolutely. There's no way to, there's no way to know. Kyle, chime in. Freakin' see ya.

I actually, just a cool thing about Kyle, like he bought these like weird ass fucking corduroy like women's pants, floral pants. A long time they're popping. I straight up saw him in an Instagram photo last week during Thanksgiving when he was back home, he was still rocking them. Can I say something? For so long. Those are everywhere now.

Those like floral pants are fucking everywhere. That's where, you got to wear the shit that nobody is on because they will eventually. Homeless chic is coming back into fashion and I think Kyle is going to be a real fashion god once again. We wouldn't know. We wouldn't know. I'd love to talk to him about it, but he's off. The project.

Kyle, the treatment. Anybody got any takebacks or apologies specifically for Kyle? Or anyone else? No, none for Kyle. Give him no takebacks or apologies. I'm going to let that hang there for a second. None for Kyle. Well, I got a shout out just to the freaking TII nation, man.

It was so cool seeing everybody on those Spotify wrap up, seeing that we were the number one podcast. Like we really just kind of started this shit during quarantine and we love doing it and the fact that people love listening to it. Three of us really enjoy it. And the fact that people are liking what we're laying down is very cool. It's very cool. I might even go out on a limb and say this is the best episode we've ever done.

I would say this is up there. Yeah, we're starting to peak. 80 episodes in. How many episodes did we do? 60 something? I think there's like 63 and like eight of them are best of. 69. Have we done 69 episodes?

Oh, dude. Oh, we got a 69 each other. We will miss it for sure. We'll miss it. We have to all 69 each other on the 69th episode. And that's just coming up in a few. 69, dudes! Your boobs are huge.

I would like to give flowers to our manager, Isaac. I was watching some old videos. Workaholics, also flowers too. Multiple flowers are being given right now. Okay, here we go. The WorkaholicsTV on Instagram, that account. I think it's WorkaholicsDaily. I'm blanking.

You guys know that account. They post shit about Workaholics all the time. They're fucking awesome. And they just post nonsense stuff. And the other night, I just fell into a little hole, like looking at old clips of like episodes that I've completely forgot about where I'm like, oh, shit. And it just sort of transports you back to

when we were shooting those episodes. And one of them was a drunken documentary when we used to get just blackout drunk and watch the whole season of Workaholics and do the commentary, which was super fun. And I remember, well, I listened to it. And Isaac comes in the room and we start talking about Isaac. We're like, give it up for Isaac, our manager.

And we're like, he's old as fuck. He's 41 years old. Oh, my God. I'm like, he's a young looking 40-year-old. And then Isaac's like, I'm 41 now. And the man is 51 now. And we've known him forever. Finish him.

He is still the oldest guy we know next to Ders. He charges. Ders is pit sweat. And he still isn't afraid to get ridiculously way too drunk with me at a nice steak dinner. He's a man, dude. Hey, hey, let's shout out to SDK. I know Adam says it's whatever.

Send me some gift cards. I'm down. I actually have had one of my favorite steaks of all time there. I have a memory. I love SDK. I love SDK. I'm an SDK guy.

Yummy. I love steak. And they make a great steak. T-G-I-F-S-T-K. What I was saying, it was the night wasn't supposed to be anything big. Like, we just walked in and we're like, can we sit at the bar?

And we got the seats at the bar. And it wasn't supposed to be us just getting wildly drunk. I'm not supposed to be as hungover as I am right now. And I'm glad you are. For what was supposed to be last night. It was supposed to be a very chill night. You caught a stray. You caught a stray.

Did I tell this story on the podcast regarding SDK? I went and saw Utkarsh in the Freestyle Love Supreme show in New York. Oh, yeah. And Bootcar. Yeah. And there we go. Go off.

Great show. It's like freestyle rapping audience participation. It's fucking cool. And Utkarsh is the man. He was in Game Over Man with us. He was in Pitch Perfect with me. He plays Dom in Pitch Perfect. He's the bunny rabbit and free guy.

The dude's all over the place. Ghosts on Fox. Fox. CBS. CBS. Mount Plus. I think CBS. I don't know.

It's on TV. It's on TV. So, saw him. Went to, I was like, fuck, I gotta get dinner. And I was filming in the morning in New York. And went to SDK by myself. Sidled up to a big old steak, ate it. It was fucking delicious.

The next day I wake up and I get in the fucking car. He's in your bed. At 7 a.m. to like go film somewhere in the city. I'm like, where are we going? We pull up to SDK. I was filming at SDK all day. It had no idea. That's funny.

And I was like. The same one? The exact same one. That's hilarious. I was like, I was here nine hours ago. And they're like, what? Why? Until I just researched the space.

And I was like. No. No, I was just to eat. Drinking and needing. Yeah. My character is familiar with the place, so I had to get familiar. But hey, that's the magic of New York City.

No takebacks about that place, I tell you. Yeah, it rocks. I love NY. No giveaways here. Any flowers or giveaways or takebacks? Jersey or Blake? I mean, I just I just shouted out. I give a shout out to our audience.

Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. We don't want to. Yeah, of course. That's you did. You did your part. Shout out to belly chains, Blake. No one is stopping you.

And I think I know exactly what I'm going to get you for Christmas now. Yeah. I feel like you're going to get a lot of belly chain gifts this holiday season. And I know Adam's going to send a jacket my way for Christmas. It's going to be.

You won't fit in it, dude. It's my size. You're a giant. I've slender. I've slender down. I'm slender, man. Who's this one? Oh, damn.

I don't know. Your boobs are huge to you guys at home. My boobs are huge. And I just made a face of the thing that would like pop up in kids videos or whatever. Yeah. What the fuck? We talked about that.

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.
