Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions like, can we create new senses for humans? 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
Starting point is 00:00:47 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. 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 only talk about
Starting point is 00:01:40 what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today we talk about fucking cornhole. Why does our dick feel so weird in me? Can we please fucking play some pickleball, okay? You're dead, and then that's the ultimate prank, dude. Here we go. Start your engines. Hello and welcome. Feeling good, baby. To me, this is how I know I'm old. When I'm at a grocery store, because to me that's a grocery
Starting point is 00:02:34 store banger, we're old enough, or at least I'm old enough now, that when I'm in the grocery store and a song like that comes on, I'm nodding my head, man. For real. They've got some real bangers that hit me at my age. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's not worth analyzing that any further than just a head nod and a smile. Dude, you know what a song I have that when I hear it, it just puts a smile on my face. It is, I love your smile. Obviously. Obviously. I've had that song in my head for 20 years. That's like my go-to. I'm lonely. I'm going to whistle while I'm taking a leak in a weird gas station. If that comes on in the grocery store, I'm dropping the milk, and I am dancing a little bit. I'm doing a shimmy.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Dropping it. Yeah. That's a mess. It's a mess, but I can't help myself. I've been deeper on my 80s shit for a while now. I feel like that was the decade. I feel like I would have really shined in the 80s. I love all the music from that era. I could wear a Letterman jacket, I feel. I feel like I could pull off a Letterman jacket. Talk to me about your 80s. What? I was a child. No, no, no. Sorry about what I know, but you're talking about letter jackets as opposed to pet shop boys because the 80s was quite diverse. So I'm saying Duran Duran. Sure. Yeah. Are you talking you're more like hairband 80s and like are Huey Lewis 80s? Emilio Estevez. Yeah, men at work. Like the cure, you know. No, I'm more of like talking heads, the
Starting point is 00:04:13 cure. I think I went to the cure. I went to the cure almost first in my mind. But also talking heads, I love. Yeah, fuck you. But also, I'll fuck up some Eddie money, dude. I'm not afraid. Okay. All right. There's a lot of people out there that are afraid of Eddie money. Dude, they are. Well, they're afraid to admit that they like Eddie money. A lot of people think that that's not cool. His voice is super solid. He has the coolest name ever in rock music. Eddie money. Doobie brothers. Doobie brothers, that's pretty good. I mean, that's good, but that's the doobie brothers is great, bro. Like to me, like that's the greatest of all time is who are you guys? We're the doobie brothers. Whoa. I do really like the new series of Adam playing
Starting point is 00:05:01 songs off his phone. This is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, his voice is good. Yeah. His voice is money. But that's not his hit, right? Doesn't he have a bigger one than that? Take me home tonight is pretty damn big. Yeah, that's the one. Take me home tonight. Yeah, that was that song. You knew that was the same song. That's the one that you want to drink beer on a beach or you want to be on a boat, I feel. You want to be blazed. Yeah. Yeah. 80s is good. Well, yacht rock, right? That's 80s, right? Or is it late? It's mostly in the 80s. Was yacht rocking? Maybe it's a deeper cut, but shaken is a fucking banger by Eddie money. What's shaking? Was that was a song? Let me let me let me let me pull it up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:46 What do you got there? Chocolate payday? Dude, I'm eating the fucking one of your guys. Here, hold on. There's no bullshit. It's great. I don't like to eat bullshit. There's there's no way. Never mind. Well, that's the first time I've ever heard that song. Yeah. Hey, dude, Blake, that song rips, dude. Thank you, man. You got the Lizard Quintessential Eddie Money Song shiver or whatever you called it. I played his by far his biggest hit. And Blake's like, no. And then Blake doesn't even recognize it. There has to be a bigger hit. Here, I'm going to play you this like a garbage pail music. Right. Dude, no, that was for sure an 80s stripper anthem, dude. That song sounded like a kitchen during an earthquake. That sounded
Starting point is 00:06:33 like you made something on GarageBand. Like, did you like it? Because it's actually my band. Yeah. Yeah. This is Netty Money, right? This is Blakey Money. That's my band, Freddy Monkey. Okay. Okay. I know another one. That's really good. What about here we go and hear me out arguably better than Take Me Home Tonight. Two Tickets to Paradise. Paradise. Yeah. That's the one he plays on the commercials, right? Two Tickets to Paradise. And you know what? I would argue. Don't like it as much. What? Yeah. Take Me Home Tonight is the better of the because what? Two Tickets? That's only two. I want more than my two tickets. Yeah. Four tickets to Paradise. Well, I think he's going with a love one. With his girl or whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:18 You know, but yeah, I mean, trips are more fun if you go with like a group of friends, you know. There's one's a threesome. I want one of you guys and a threesome. I'd preach. Or do we establish we want strangers? Yeah, we just we talked about that a few podcasts ago about sorry. Yes. Having sex with each other. If it's you and your girl and and another guy is going to be involved, it can't be that it can't be a homie. It has to be your high school rival. It has to be. It has to be the head of your rival Dojo. Right. You've got to bury the hatchet somehow and run better way than to go on a romantic to bury the hatchet in your girl. Yeah, burying something. Okay. That's how you fuck. Take me home tonight. But maybe it'd be cool to
Starting point is 00:08:08 have your girl like, OK, so you find your nemesis from high school and you go, yo, you get a threesome. He sees your girl. He's like, yeah, baby, let's do it. And then you've already told your girl and she's down with this because she knows you hate this guy to be like to be like, you can't fuck harder than that. Yeah. And even if his dick's way bigger than yours, she just is like, why is your dick feel so weird in me? And you go, baby, this is a great prank. Yeah, yeah, you'd shame him. Well, yeah, exactly. I love this prank. While you're watching him, fuck your girl. You're shaming him while you're watching. Yeah, you know, she's doing it and you're looking at her like, hey, honey, call me. I'm a good time. Yeah. And the best part is that
Starting point is 00:08:43 like behind your back later, she runs off with him. Okay, because the dick actually was good. This is a fun prank. And then they get married. Okay. And you're on the street one day and they pull up in a Ferrari. Okay, now you're talking. Yeah. Yeah. And they hand you a million dollar bill. And you're like, oh, and you go, oh my God, thank you. And he goes, that's not real bitch. And they peel out. She gives him head, right? Okay, dude. That's the prank. That's a fun prank. Wow. That is a fucking, that's a royal pony, bro. And then you just walk into traffic. Yeah, that's a funny prank, dude. But nothing hits you. Yeah. And then you nothing hits you, but a truck. But it doesn't kill you. No, that truck hits you. You're dead. And then that's the
Starting point is 00:09:33 ultimate prank, dude. Right, right. And then they come to your funeral and you're like, I guess, I hope they're here because you're dead, you don't know. Oh, man. You know, there's a funeral, you know, there's a funeral, but nobody comes to you. I'm pissed now. Because you lost all your teeth a long time ago and they don't know who you are. You're just a John Doe. That's the prank. That's a good prank, dude. That's the prank. Because you didn't have any teeth to identify the body because you lost them all because you were just methatic. Yeah. So that's the threesome you want. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. That's great. Good deal, bud. Guys, how come we don't go on like couple vacations together? Like, let's
Starting point is 00:10:12 all go to like Greece or something. Well, that'd be great. I feel like we can barely get a schedule together to do a podcast going on a... Hey, yeah. Hey, my girl's down for a date night, though, guys. Okay. Yeah, that's what I was telling Ders that the other day. I'd love to do a little date night. Yeah. Oh, that's cute AF. Kyle, you want to fly down here, buddy? Yeah, yeah, man. You know, I'll hit the jet sweet and hit Burbank. Come on. Sweet X. Come on. Love a little jet sweet X, baby. Let's just do dinner at Burbank Airport. Yeah, let's do it. Oh, shit. What was the name of that restaurant that we used to go to? At the Van Nuys Airport. Yeah. Like Aviators Grill or whatever. Oh, yeah. It was like the 49th restaurant. Squadron? Was it 49th Squadron or something?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah. And then we'd go there. We'd go there for like workaholics' lunches. And every once in a while, we would dart over there. And it was cool. It was right on... A restaurant at the Van Nuys Airport. At the Van Nuys Airport. And you'd go in there. And there was like a lot of drunk pilots. I'm still gonna send it. And you're like, are these guys about to fly? Or they like, they just come here to... Well, did you see flight? Did you see flight with Denzel? He fucking did some... That dude did some great shit while drunk and flying a plane. Like... Great movie. Great movie. Yeah, he did. Flying on expert. Yeah. I'm drunk right now. Like, okay. Does that show like that it's actually like so easy to fly a plane? Like any drunk can
Starting point is 00:11:43 do it? I think they say it is extremely easy. It's the hard part is landing. Other than that. That's the joke. Yeah. So that's like the thing. That's the joke is I can fly. I just can't land. It's called Truth in Comedy Ders. It came from somewhere. All right. You put it on autopilot. And then when you have to land, you grab the controls. Uh-huh. I'll grab your... I'll grab your controls. Oh my god. Hey, come autopilot my dick and balls, baby. That's not the stick. That would be actually fucking sick to learn how to fly a plane. Absolutely. Yeah. I feel like that's your thing. Yeah. I think I could probably be very good at that. Well, like we just said, it seems like it's easy. Goodbye. It's the landing that's hard. Well, like a little Cessna,
Starting point is 00:12:28 like I've been in a tiny little four seater plane before and that thing ripped around by the wind. It was like, this is like turbulence I never felt before. I do that with you, Kyle. We should learn how to fly planes together. I for sure would. Can I make a request and you guys do a helicopter instead? Why? I don't know. It seems way cooler. No. Yeah. It's way, I think it's way more dangerous, dude. And they're way more expensive. Yeah. I don't have the desire to fly a helicopter as much as I would have the desire to fly a plane. Huh. Interesting. I'm opposite of you. A plane you can travel with a little bit. Yeah. Exactly. A lot of it. A lot. You could travel a ton. But a helicopter, a helicopter you could land on your roof and then just kind of. Hella roof. Kind of
Starting point is 00:13:09 just go home for the day. Well, I mean, we still make the same amount of money we currently make. It's not like we're not talking like in the stratosphere where we have houses that you can land helicopters on. Okay. Fine. Yeah. I'm talking about becoming a hobbyist pilot. Right now you could, we could afford like a little Cessna and learn how to fly, you know. But Adam, you could land a helicopter on your beach and essentially blow all the science. It's science. Thank you. Don't you want that? Yeah, that'd be cool. My neighbors would really love, love me for that. Yeah. I've been in a lot of helicopters and I just don't feel safe in those fucking things, man. I don't like them. No. You've been in a lot of helicopters? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Like in Hawaii, like over a dozen? Yeah. I've been in a helicopter over a dozen times. When we're scouting for like helicopter shots and stuff like that. Yeah. Must be nice. Yeah. They don't just do drones now. That's fucking cool. I think I've been in two. No, we took real helicopters open. Goddamn, bro. Yeah, for some stuff. Yo, the Rose Bowl the other day, they had the B2 bomber flyover weeks and weeks ago. Yeah. That thing is fucking unreal. The stealth bomber? The stealth bomber is just like a black V wing with like no vertical wings on it or whatever that's called. It's like a spaceship. It's like from another planet. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, do you remember how hard that
Starting point is 00:14:35 shit hit when it came out? Like wasn't that the 90s? Like I had a fucking... There were a couple. I had a stealth bomber toy. I was fucking obsessed with that thing. But which one did you have? Because there was the black bird, which was the long one that had like the two giant turbines or whatever on the side. And then there's this one, the B2, which is just a big flat wing. And then there was the new stealth bomber that was like a little dark arrowhead shape. Okay. I recall two long like wings kind of coming off the plane as well. Like... Up, right? Up. Didn't they come up? Yeah. Yes. The B52? It looked like the Batmobile flying. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Like the Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away. You could say that. My dad and I would always go fishing at this lake in Omaha when I was growing up. Sounds real. And every once in a while you would hear like, but like it's light and you're like, what the fuck is going on? That was your dad ripping bongs. Don't look at me. Stay out of my folder's can. What is that folder's can doing here? No, it would be the stealth bomber just like hovering above the lake. Like just sort of creep and... They can hover? Wait, these things can hover? They go slow.
Starting point is 00:15:50 No, but they can go very slow. Like they went very slow over. No way. Yeah, they can just... So that you can smile. Or they can break the sound barrier. Yeah. They was like going like mad slow right over us. And there's a ton of cool... Plains and shit and stuff bombers in Omaha because that's where the president goes when there's a giant emergency. Oh, yeah. Because it's the biggest city most centrally located in the US. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Living in America. Yamaha's. Yeah, that's where he went. That's where he went during 9-11. Oh, really? Yeah. Shit. Damn. Yeah, man. I didn't go anywhere. I stood my ground on 9-11, but go ahead. Damn. Yeah, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I didn't run from anything. No. Yeah, you're right. Me too. I still did the paper route. Yeah. I stayed in social studies class. I went right to Norwegian class and told everybody in Norwegian that the plane had a building. Yeah, US history was crazy that day. I remember going to school and then they were like, you know, we fucking cancel school today. And I was... And then I went and smoked weed in my buddy's garage for America. The whole world got crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You lit up your own two towers of weed. Thank you. Thank you. That was necessary. Yeah, that was a wild time, man. And I'll never forget it. Dudes. Hey, dudes, can I talk about something? Absolutely. Is it 9-11? Oh, I'm related because we were... No, no, it's not. I'm too in a...
Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah, because we were kind of having a moment of silence, but go ahead. 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?
Starting point is 00:18:01 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
Starting point is 00:18:44 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,
Starting point is 00:19:23 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. 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. Signed 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Okay, well, it's just I just wanted to say that when I come down to the Burbank airport, and we all hang out and we're going to have dinner at in Van Nuys, can we please fucking play some pickleball? Okay. Oh yeah, the bitch. Okay, he's back, everybody. That boy's into the pickleball. The last time I talked about it, I said I was thinking about getting into it. Have you thought about it?
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's official. And now I thought about it. I'm in it. Now I'm playing it. Now I'm playing pickleball, and I'm playing it as much as I can, and I fucking love the game. And I want to play with you guys. Are you dropping the LBs playing pickleball?
Starting point is 00:21:13 Yeah, yeah. Is it an exercise thing or it's just a fun thing? It's both. It's both. I like to have both, you know, in one. And it's great. As you should. It's great cardio, great back and forth,
Starting point is 00:21:23 good hand-eye coordination, and just a lot of fun with friends. And that's why I think we should do it together. Okay? Are you down? I love that. Sure. Yeah, you find a court, I'll be there. How competitive does it get, Kyle?
Starting point is 00:21:34 Like, are you, like, challenged? Are you playing against some young Go-Hard, some Vets? Are you, like, learning with people? Like, what can we expect here? I've been learning with people for the past, like, four months and just playing with friends. But the games get pretty heated. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:21:50 You've been learning with people. Well, we've been playing, like, learning the rules. Like, you know, there's certain ways you have to serve and certain. I guess I'm wondering, I'm asking, like, who are you playing with? No, I was playing with the producers on Shadows. We would sneak away, and that's how we got it out of our system is we would go and just play fucking pickleball and watch the Q-take. So let me get this straight.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Can I finish? Don't walk it back. You were, you were so, no, I'm not walking. Don't walk it back. Don't walk it back. I said it was scheduling. You were so busy scheduling podcasts. And well, this was Monday through Friday.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Who was instead you're playing pickleball? And now, and now you want to come back and play us in pickleball? Yeah. Fuck it. Okay. Correct. Yeah. After you decided not to do the podcast for a few weeks,
Starting point is 00:22:35 obviously that time was spent seeing better at pickleball. Yes. So then you could come and lord your pickleball supremacy over us. We obviously aren't going to be as good even though the three of us are all physically and athletically more gifted than you. Yes. I got a jump on it, baby. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:53 So you're staying. You put a pause on the podcast so you could get a leg up on us. Yeah. And we should do pickleball. Right. Honestly, if you had just told me, guys, I'm, I'm going to play pickleball instead of the podcast. I would have said salute, respect, go do your thing.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Hold up. But the fact that I'm finding out about it now. Yeah. I'm so sorry, but that's rough. God damn, you guys really put me in a corner on that one. Yeah, well, yeah. You put yourself in a corner. I can't wait to play you now.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm going to be hitting you with some drop shots. Hey, I remember, I remember when we were talking about 9-11, trying to have a moment. On this podcast that we've had to recreate with you gone. Trying to have a moment about 9-11. You said, hey, can I say something real quick? And then you outed yourself. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yeah. And you wanted to talk about pickleball. Playing pickleball, and that's why you left the podcast, just to get better at pickleball. You got a note. He wrote a note. He wrote himself a note. So at any point in time, we're allowed to drop off the pod
Starting point is 00:23:56 to get better at a skill. At a skill. At a reindeer game. At a freaking. It can't be anything real. It's got to be a reindeer game. I want to get good at drone racing. I love that.
Starting point is 00:24:06 That's the thing about pickleball. It's a budding fucking sport. There's a pro circuit. You know what else is a budding sport? What? Ultimate Frisbee. And it just never will be. And what's the other one?
Starting point is 00:24:16 Will you slam the ball off the little net? Oh, yeah. Oh, the beach game? Yeah. That game looks cool as fuck, by the way. Never play. There's a college scene. It's smash ball.
Starting point is 00:24:25 It's smash ball. It's smash ball. Is it smash ball? It is smash ball, yeah. Yes. Smash ball. I live on the beach. It's smash ball.
Starting point is 00:24:32 I see it. That's the thing, bro. They have pickleball tournaments down in Newport. And I'm like, OK, I'm going to start signing up for fucking tournaments soon. Yeah. And traveling and trying to win. Because I'm trying to get fucking pro, baby.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Well, it was nice knowing you. Yeah. How much time do you need to prepare for the tournament? Because I can't even believe you're here. Yeah. Wait. Do you got to take six months off the podcast so you could go train for this tournament?
Starting point is 00:24:54 I'm going to. I mean, maybe. But hopefully not. Perfect. Now I want to see how good you are. Yeah. He's really hiked this up now. Smash ball is the wooden panels with the dead ball.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I'm talking about where they hit the thing down onto the little trampoline. On the trampoline. Yes. I believe that is called smash ball. I'm almost positive. It's not called smash ball. This is important.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Maybe it's called ultimate smash ball or something like that. Like that was the brand. It's not smash ball. Hey, let's inform the people. I feel like that. I mean, that game gets gnarly on the beach. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:25:24 We're diving all over the place. Smash ball. Maybe it's smash ball. It's by the famous YouTube crew. Here it is. What do we call it? Spike ball. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Spike ball. Spike ball. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Smash ball is a thing. Yes, please. Yes. You couldn't have been more wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm such a bitch. I'm an idiot. I even said, like, I live on the beach. I see it every day. Like, I was flexing. I was flexing. No.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Samsonite. But yeah. So if you need to get into spike ball, let me know. It's called spike ball. And I see it all the time. I want to play. I almost bought one during the pandemic. But I was like, well, who am I going to play with?
Starting point is 00:26:04 Yeah, just you and Clodog just going ham. And Chloe, like, she's not going to play spike ball with me. Yeah. But you know what she will play with you? Shut up. Pickleball, bro. OK. OK.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I was like, house. OK. Pickleball, man. This is this game rocks. No, this game fucking rocks, bro. Pickleball. It's the best. So you guys, you know how much fun we had playing ping pong
Starting point is 00:26:25 back in the day? Yeah. Yeah. Well, ping pong. Oh, you mean a real sport? Thank you, table tennis. This is big ping pong, bro. This is like you're standing on the fucking table.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Yeah. But isn't it an Olympic sport? Is this different than paddle ball and how? What's paddle? What's paddle ball? Paddle ball is what I think is very similar to pickle ball, but I think you're in like a chicken wire fenced cage and you can hit it off the cage.
Starting point is 00:26:47 What? What? No, pickle ball is ping pong. That sounds like a prison game. So there's no cage. Yeah. It's basically miniature tennis. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Big ping pong, small tennis. Paddle ball is what they would play in the winter at the country clubs. What about handball, dude? That's where I'm at. Are you talking about, like, squash? Oh, god. 9-11.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Oh, god. Are you talking about squash? Paddle ball is like a wintertime country club sport where you just are in like a little court and there's a cage around it and you can hit the ball off the cage, but there's a tennis net. The paddles have like little holes in them all the way around.
Starting point is 00:27:22 No, that's not the same game. Are you hitting with using pickles? You can't. This is the paddle. Oh, OK. Always got his own paddle. So here, I got a question about pickle ball. Got a pickle ball question.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It's tinier tennis. Is it, what is the purpose of it? For people that don't want to run around on a whole tennis court? Yes. It was found in retirement communities. It's for old people. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Tall, fat people who are like, reach, reach. Well, I feel like I would like that because I can't play tennis. My knees will explode if I play tennis. Tennis is hard as hell. I can't do it. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I don't have the wind for it, you know? Yeah. Yeah, my knees will just explode if I do that, but maybe I can play pickle ball. All right. This game is righteous. There's some guys playing right now that are just like fucking, now he's speaking your language.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Righteous gemstones, Sundays on HBO and HBO Max. I did see it. It was on ESPN2 the other day, the pickle ball was. They had a tournament going on ESPN2. Were the, did you see if like the people playing were young or was that a tournament of old people as well? They were young. 20s.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah, there's young guys. The best in the world right now is 21. The best in the world, Ben Johns. He's 21. Crushes. Oh, Jesus. Ben Johns. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Yeah. Yeah. But then, but my favorite dude is a dude named fucking Mattiest, Mattiest Johansson. Mattiest or Matthias? They call them Mattiest. I thought it was Matthias too, but I heard him say Mattiest the other day.
Starting point is 00:28:53 That's tight. Yeah. And he's like 60 and he crushes. Okay. So, so you left the podcast, you watched a ton of pickle ball and this is what you did with your time. Did you see that look you just gave you? King A's.
Starting point is 00:29:10 He just looked at you like. Yep. Yep. Yep. Well, is it on ESPN or what is this on? That's where I saw it. Yeah, it was. Where are you watching all this pickle ball?
Starting point is 00:29:20 I've never seen, I've never seen pickle ball. I watch it on YouTube. I go, I go look for like this, the specific PBA circuit opens. They have like, they're, they're recording them now and it's cool because there's like these bad boys of pickle ball and they don't have bleep buttons. They're just like real.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Fucking bitch. Yeah. And there's like a bunch of senior citizens watching. These guys go fucking hard. What the fuck are you looking at, you old bastard? Dude, it's so rough. It's the best. I like these niche sports that are getting exposure.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I was deep into disc golf on YouTube for a while. Yeah. These guys, Joe Mez make a pretty good like series where they, they edit it all together. It's pretty funny. Disc golf rocks. Dude, they play in some like treacherous, like downpours too.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Like nobody, nobody on the, like the golf course doesn't close. Disc golf goes hard through all elements. Yeah, I play, I play a lot of disc golf. When I'm, when I'm in Charleston, I, I, I take my discs. You know what I did? I took my golf clubs because there's a lot of great golf, golfing in Charleston. And then I never went golfing once
Starting point is 00:30:22 and then went disc golfing like 15 times. Yeah. Yeah. Well, disc golfing is more fun than golfing, right? Not necessarily. I don't know. I feel like a lot of people think golfing is way more fun. I just, I don't really do it.
Starting point is 00:30:35 None of my friends really go golfing that much. Yeah. Yeah. I think I would like it. Golf has like the right setup where it's like, Hey, we're going to go golfing and drink and be out on like a beautiful thing. A disc golf course is like,
Starting point is 00:30:48 Hey, there's this weird park. If we bring a six pack, they've set up all these poles. Cages. That's how we got into a sort of disc golf because I grew up with a crew of disc golfers. And basically it was smoke a joint, bring the radio. You listen to a Primus album and you just freaking throw the B around.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And that's kind of the vibe and everybody you run into is doing the exact same thing. It's like except for that one guy who's pulling a giant case of 72 frisbees and is sweating profusely. And this is like, can I play through? Thank you guys. And he's so mad that you guys are taking like kind of a long time
Starting point is 00:31:26 or the guy that is doing it as exercise and he just is dead sprinting through the course. With the weight vest on? Yeah. And you're like, Hey buddy, maybe just go running. Just go running. This is the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:39 What's up with this? Why don't why? Over there, there's places to run. This is disc golf. We're drunk here. We're drunk here. We're stoned here. Plant medicine.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You know what else gets a ton of like play on ESPN now is fucking cornhole. That I feel like cornhole is on all the goddamn time. I don't know if it was because the pandemic or what, but. And by the way, these people are good at it. Yeah, but they're not too good. I would argue that they're not much better than the best person we know.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Sure. To me, cornhole, watching cornhole or playing cornhole would get really old really quick. Yes. I mean, I love playing cornhole. It's so fun, but it doesn't look like, do they allow them to drink beer while they play because you have to have a cold brew
Starting point is 00:32:24 while you're playing that game. That's a great question. Thank you, Anders. I don't know. Do they slide into Blake's DMs and let them know? By the way, every time you sit back, the headroom on your square, like the last one we did was just all wall.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I like that frame. I'm in prison, which is tight. I'm in prison. You look like a talking head. What if I revealed I was in a mental institution all the time? Yeah. I can, I can believe that. I wish you were just getting,
Starting point is 00:32:58 you got fake tits and you didn't want to show anybody yet. Like they weren't even for some reason. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. I'm in recovery. Look at my guy. God damn. Pizza, pizza, pizza. Damn, damn.
Starting point is 00:33:12 God damn. Damn, son. So should we talk about 9-11 or? You want to come back to that? Coming back. 9-11 or 7-11. Let's each go. 9-11 or 7-11.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Or 3-11. I'll go first. Or 3-11? 3-11. Or 9-11, 7-11, or 3-11 go. I'm going to come original. Yeah, 3-11. Yes, points.
Starting point is 00:33:37 And say 9-11. Know what I mean? Did you guys ever have a school shooting at your school? Did you guys ever fuck with that? Technically. But it wasn't like somebody's gun went off in their backpack and a kid got shot. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Oh, really? But it wasn't like a fucking, I'm reliving the matrix and fucking killing people that were mean to me. It was just like, whoops. Hey, dude, your gun went off and shot a kid. Because I just watched a movie the other night called The Fallout that Julie Bowen is in. And it's all about what happened after a school shooting.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And I didn't know what I was getting myself. I watched it. I got an advanced screening because of Ellen. And you're supposed to watch what your guests are up to and blah, blah, blah. And so I was like, OK, I'll ride the bike and watch this movie. And I'm riding the bike. And it starts off.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And it's this girl who's a great actress, Jenna Ortega. She's a young girl. And she's playing a high school student. And she crushed. But she was being super funny in the beginning. I think, oh, it's going to be a teen comedy. And it's Julie Bowen. Who is the body switch happened?
Starting point is 00:34:47 She's known for it. And I'm like, I'm working up a lather. And then all of a sudden, she's in a bathroom. And she's making fun of this other girl for contouring her neckline and stuff. And I'm like, look at the youth talking about contouring and making TikTok dances and shit. This is a new age comedy for the people that are teenagers now.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And I'm thinking, this is going to be funny. And I'm going to get an insight into the team. And then all of a sudden, it's like, from the hallway. And it's a school shooting movie. It's a school shooting movie. And then it's all about the fallout of how they're dealing with that afterwards. And then it becomes super heavy.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And I was not expecting it. And I'm working out while watching this movie. And halfway through the workout, I'm thinking, this is inappropriate how much I'm sweating while watching. You just start standing up by the side of your back? I should be honoring this movie by not doing something else. Right. Pedal backwards?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah. But then it got me thinking, how many school shooting, how many there has been to where I had one at my school? Living in America. There was one at my local mall where multiple people died. You mean after? Yeah, since Columbine. Now it's such a normal thing that it's not even
Starting point is 00:36:10 about the actual school shooting. It's about what happens afterwards. We're already at like beyond making movies about the actual shootings. Now we're like, oh, it's about what happened afterwards. Yeah. Did you guys never had one at your high school? It's almost weird if you didn't have one
Starting point is 00:36:28 at your high school at this point. I like that take. No, I don't believe we did. But it definitely. Your school sucks. We haven't had one. You guys have no bullies. I've been to your high school.
Starting point is 00:36:41 It seems like the type of place that a kid would snap. No, too many hiding places there. There was one. There was a shooting at the mall the other day. Just. OK, Fred. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:52 All right. Tight. It was linked with a robbery. But not a school. Yeah. No, different. Not the same. Different.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah. Yeah. Just a public shooting, I guess. I fuck Adam. Like that's dope, dude. Dude. Way to lord that over us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:07 My high school rules. I feel like a schmuck. My high school rules. Yeah. I guess we're making movies about the aftermath. By the way, I feel like that would only, if I was a school shooter candidate guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:21 I could see you being a school shooter. I thought it was just me killing some people. But it's just going to wreck everyone else that was there, too. Sick. Yeah. Now I'm really going to do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Like they're going to watch the fallout and be like, oh, shit. Yeah. People will be kind of fucked up afterwards. OK. Well, what's crazy is it's like evolving now. Like, I don't can't even. I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I can't remember any of them anymore because they just happened. And like our whole thing was to not give them attention because that would cause more. But like now it's getting to the point where since everybody has cell phones, you can watch like kids, it happening in real time. Like they go insta live while it's happening.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's just fucking, it's a nightmare, isn't it? Now Kyle, were you doing that when you had your time off? Kyle, did you make time to watch school shootings? Like, evidently not. No, sorry. Also, it shows how like insane of a time that we're living in that I feel like if I was out of place and a shooting was going down, the last thing I would think
Starting point is 00:38:19 of doing it would be to go insta live, the event. We're older though. Yeah. The kids this is how the second nature as soon as they feel like something's about to go down no matter what it is, phones come out and start recording if you're like under 30. Yeah. Like if you hear people shouting, you just you start rolling.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah. And we're talking about kids who are just being held inside of a room just waiting for the situation to either be over or change. It's terrifying. I feel like I would be like sharpening pencils, like getting ready to go attack mode. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Because we grew up in the 80s with like Schwarzenegger movies where like people just fucking did it and they're growing up in a time where it's like, no, don't. Yeah. Don't do that. You'll die. We thought Home Alone was a documentary. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:05 This is my house. I have to defend it. They're like, which is why we made the episode of workaholics where, you know, we're on mushrooms and we set up booby traps. Yeah. We thought it was a real thing you could do is set booby traps to stop people from arming your friends and family. I mean, the school shooting that happened what, several weeks
Starting point is 00:39:24 ago where like they had kids filming it in the room and the guy rolled up to the door and was like, hey, it's the police. And then they were like, he was like, what's your badge number? And he's like, I got my badge right here. Yo, or something like that. And every kid was like, I've got my badge. Yo, like that's fucking somebody goes red flag, red flag. Don't open it.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah. I'm like, holy shit. That's crazy, Darren. Open the door, dude. Yeah. The guy's like, he just said, open the door, dude. I can't remember what the line was. But that is so gnarly.
Starting point is 00:39:52 That is terrifying. It's scary. It's terrifying. It's like, I can't even imagine that scenario as a kid and it would stick with you the rest of your life. And it's just fucked up. I'm pissed now. Gun control.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Should we switch topics? Gun control to magic. You guys want to talk about pickleball? You guys want to talk about pickleball again? Pickleball control. Pickleball, baby. Hey, man, sometimes we got to breach and broach those topics, guys.
Starting point is 00:40:19 No, I hear you. Hopefully not all the time. Hey, man, it's important. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

What the hell did I just see?
Starting point is 00:41:58 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 two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:43:33 on the pickleball court? That's the real question. That's the next bastion. Good. I mean, the bad boy, I don't know. What's his name? John Michael? What's your boy?
Starting point is 00:43:43 Mattias? No, Ben Johns. But the tatted dude is... He could Gilbert arenas it and bring a gun to the pickleball court. Yeah, no, let's keep it. No, no, no. There's a whole world gone crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Anywho. We tried to move on and the Blake's like, but... Absolutely. Absolutely. What is that? What is the whole world gone crazy? What is that? That's from the Big Lebowski.
Starting point is 00:44:07 That's right. That's right. That's Walter. It's John Goodman from Righteous Jumpstones. But that's a good question. Has the world gone crazy? I think the world's gone crazy. I think a little bit.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Oh, look at that. Nice. I got the fucking dude sweater right here, bro. Hamilton, baby. There it is. Yeah. Ready. Love that guy.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Absolutely. That movie is so fucking good. Big Lebow. Goddamn. It's the best. Is it the best Coen Brothers movie? I don't know. It's got a special place in my heart,
Starting point is 00:44:35 but I don't know if it's their best film ever made. Because they make great movies, dude. They do make really good movies. I think they're my favorite. I mean, there's some clunkers, but they make great movies. Any time we're doing something pretty absurd on the Righteous Jumpstones, I ask John Goodman if this is how the Coen Brothers do it.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Right. I'm like, is this a... Yeah, he likes that bit. Yeah. Yeah. Does he give any insight to that, or does he just ignore what you say? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:08 You know, he's never talked to me before, but... He's like, can you just say it, character? It'll help me. No, he likes that bit. It's fun for him as well. He's a really fun guy. Yeah, they rock, man. Is it their best movie?
Starting point is 00:45:21 I mean, look, to me, it's their most... I don't know, because Fargo's great. Fargo's amazing. Fargo was a game changer as far as tone in movies, right? But Big Lebowski is such a singular... What else is like it? True. But I mean...
Starting point is 00:45:36 You know what I mean? Yes, sir, I like it. Even Burn After Reading. Barton Fink is fucking dope. No country for old men was off the fucking Chizzy. Yeah, Miller's Crossing. No country's one of my faves. Yo, even the fucking Buster Scruggs movie that they made,
Starting point is 00:45:52 it was like Little Stories? Yeah, yeah. I never saw that one. It's awesome. I just watched that one again. It looks beautiful. It looks beautiful. Oh, brother, where are they?
Starting point is 00:46:02 That was one I didn't get into. Like, people were like kind of flipping over that, and I don't know. Maybe it's just like the time period it set in. I wasn't... I mean, you like country music now, right? That's your thing? Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I love music. So go back. Check it out. All right. What? That's what O Brother How Art Thou is? Country music? Yeah, it's a bunch of like folk country music.
Starting point is 00:46:22 It's early, early folk, yeah. They're singing into like tin cans and stuff, aren't they? I'm open sorrow. I am a man of constant sorrow. They're definitely like slipped into that Americana as they're the year old one. Never stop. I had the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Everybody did. Yeah. What's up with that? It was like a big Christmas gift. I feel like parents were like, this is the thing that we're connecting on, and you're like, I like two of these songs. I thought that movie sucked.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I think I just wasn't... I just hated it. I was like, everything about this I don't like. Yeah, I didn't really... But for some reason I bought the soundtrack. I don't know why. You don't move or show I'm really liking is... Is it 1883?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Is that right? Or 84? I don't know. The Paramount Plus show, that's the prequel to Yellowstone. It's fucking awesome. Do you watch Yellowstone? Yeah, what's Yellowstone?
Starting point is 00:47:16 I do watch Yellowstone, but it's... Does that help or does it matter? No, it doesn't matter at all. It's like a prequel, and it's just like... It's rival families, right? Is that what Yellowstone is? No, Yellowstone is basically... He's Kevin Costner, it's like a land baron
Starting point is 00:47:30 who owns all this land in Montana, and he's trying to keep Montana. And not build giant condos and shit, but he owns the most land in the state, and so he has all this power, and everyone's coming to try to get his land, basically. Okay, wow. But then 1883 is the prequel to that,
Starting point is 00:47:54 and it shows the family, and how they got to Montana, and their travel across the country. Who was the star of it? Isn't somebody like... Wasn't like Tom Hanks in an episode or something? Yeah, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are the leads. Okay, now I'm in.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Husband and wife team, but yeah, it's Tom Hanks is in an episode, Billy Bob Thornton is in a couple episodes. Sam Elliott. Sam Elliott is in it. Yeah, it's cool, it's really good. You know what else Sam Elliott's in? McGrewber, the best show of the year.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Big Lebowski at McGrewber. The best show of the year. There's so many shows, guys. I gotta watch the McGrewber. I really liked... I watched the first one, I need to stick with it, but McGrewber's damn, damn good.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Oh yeah. Do you have to buy Peacock? Blake and I were talking about this the other day. Do you have to buy it or what? You do, and I did just for McGrewber. Yeah, buy it. Subscribe to it, subscribe to Peacock. It's got all sorts of good stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And watch it and then you could cancel or continue. I never cancel. Hey, did you ever watch Girls 5 Eva Blazer? Not yet, but I am about to jump into that because I love to laugh and it looks very funny. It's very silly. It was funny. Yeah, I watched a handful of episodes and it is good.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I'm excited to dive into some comedy. Very 30 Rocky. So if that's your thing, it's super funny and the people on it fucking nail it. When you say 30 Rocky, do you mean like tons of jokes coming at your face? Yeah. Like a mile a minute?
Starting point is 00:49:20 Yeah. It's very, very joke heavy and very, very silly. Okay, I love that. Yeah, on their silly shit. Yeah. What was that one really silly show? I don't know, dude. God damn.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Where it was like kind of zany. I believe that it was my Rudolph like that. No, it was... No, yes. Quincy Jones' daughter. Yeah, what's her name? Rashida Jones. Rashida Jones.
Starting point is 00:49:43 What was that show called? It was like a goofy police show. Yeah, it was actually really kind of funny. It was like airplaning. Yeah, it didn't get a lot of... It was never described to me that way and I wish I would have known because I would have been more... Was it on true TV?
Starting point is 00:49:58 I don't know. We're doing such a bad job of even sending people over to this show. Angie Tribeca. Okay. There it is. If you know the name of one show, by the way, now, you're winning. Dude, totally. Because if somebody asks me what I'm watching,
Starting point is 00:50:11 I'm watching a ton. I'm watching everything and then you ask me what I'm watching and I have no idea. No, no. I have no idea. Well, there's just so much shit out there now. What is that? Why is that happening?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Because just because saturation, you're just like absorbing it. Because our brains aren't built this way, dude. Yeah, it's the worst. It's the worst. There's too much shit. It's not centralized. It's just like all over the place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Fucking sucks. When they don't make you wait for it and you just binge everything in one sitting, it's... I hate that. It's like you just hit a candy bar. You forgot about it like 10 minutes later. Disposable. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Or Adam. Or Adam. Or it's a chocolate payday and you remember it forever. If they drop it all, you only have time to watch, let's say, three episodes in a night and you might love it. But then the next night, you kind of like forgot that you watched it or a football game is on. You watch a football game, then like you get busy over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Then the next week, you go, what was I watching? And you go, oh yeah, I started this other thing a month ago. But then you forget that the thing you just started watching, I... It's a disgusting habit. Dude, this is like how people are bragging about minutes watch now. And it's like, what the fuck does that mean? What the fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 00:51:23 Minutes watch? Are they bragging about minutes watched? Yes. Well, that's how Netflix is releasing their statistics. They're saying like 120 million minutes watched of this. For the Red Notice movie, the Ryan Reynolds and the Rock one, that was their big selling point was how many minutes were watched. Not even how many people.
Starting point is 00:51:45 What that translates to is people are starting the movie, watching. Everyone started the movie, but not everyone finished the movie. Yeah. Yeah, it's so bizarre. Exactly. Like when we get our numbers from Netflix, the only one I give a shit about is retention rate. How many people stuck with it, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:02 Thank you. That's the one that is the real number. The only numbers I care about have a dollar sign and four commas next to a big family on it. Yeah, okay. The number. Those are the numbers that I care about. 69.
Starting point is 00:52:18 420. It's just the fucking algorithm. The robots are green lighting everything. They got to make something up because it's like nobody's finishing these movies or shows. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Netflix guy. I like Netflix.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I just think it's weird that they're like, don't backtrack now, you fucking company, man. Fucking son of a bitch. Keep it real. It's not the right one. No, I mean, I work for Netflix. I work for Netflix. They're Netflix.
Starting point is 00:52:41 They're great. People shit on Red Notice. I actually liked it. It was like a big, it felt like a big blockbuster action comedy. Like it wasn't. I got to watch it. I think you're, I think you're hating. I think it wasn't as bad as people.
Starting point is 00:52:58 No, I watched it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think you're hating. Yeah. Yeah. I think that there are problems with that movie that are so glaring. And it's, to me, it didn't feel like there was a soul involved.
Starting point is 00:53:14 It didn't feel like there was actually a soul. Like what are you taking away from that movie? You're saying the rock can't make you feel. No, I actually honest question here because I don't want to be a hater. But Adam, what are you taking away from that movie? I mean, nothing. I liked, I liked that Netflix is doing it.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It felt like a big action movie from Blake. The 90s? No, the 2000s. It felt like the mummy. Well, they actually do have Ryan Reynolds dressed as fucking Indiana Jones. Okay. Yes. It's a nod.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Very nostalgic. Yeah. But it's so dumb. What else did you take away? It was cool. And I thought there was a cool set pieces. It felt huge in like a good way that I was like, oh, this is cool. Those guys, they weren't acting, which was a little bothersome,
Starting point is 00:54:05 but it made me feel like how Arnold's never really acted. Yeah, but you believed Arnold. He was just always Arnold Schwarzenegger. Exactly. But you believed Arnold. I don't, look, I like watching Ryan Reynolds more than the rock. But those are two people that I never really believe are in danger because Ryan's always winking at the camera.
Starting point is 00:54:25 So he never like really lets me in there. And then the rock, I just don't believe. But Arnold, when he's being held down in Total Recall. Because you're like, he would just kick everyone's ass. Yeah. Well, no, it's the eyes. It's in the eyes, you know what I mean? And like, for example, Total Recall,
Starting point is 00:54:39 when Arnold is freaking out and they're holding him down in that thing and trying to put the thing in his neck. Yes. I'm like, this dude, I feel like Arnold was willing to go there and believe it himself, like a total psychopath, which is what a good actor is. It's a person who's like, I'm going to really be in it. And so like to connect with those two in a movie,
Starting point is 00:54:57 I'm sure it was not super easy. Well, they do have a torture scene in Red Notice. They do have that. And the bad guy is good. But then they make a joke out of it. And it's kind of like, this is not, but now I'm not feeling anymore at all. Like you almost had me, but then you undercut it to be kind of fucking like Koi and Metta and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:55:17 And it's like, dude, eat and drink that shit. Yeah. You've got to watch The New Matrix, by the way. I want to so bad. Yeah, but I was like, I'm glad that they're doing these big, fun action comedies. And it's not just another Marvel movie. Like I was happy that Netflix is swinging that bad
Starting point is 00:55:36 as opposed to with an original story. With an original story. Yeah. Like Avatar. Go ahead. And I was just like, I'm just sick of seeing like the same Marvel movie. And have me give a shit about it. Or Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Yeah. No, I completely agree, because I don't even turn on the Marvel or Star Wars movies anymore, because there's too much fandom where it's like, this is not about the movie being made. This is a movie about the fact that this movie was made. Fan Dumb. Yes, Dumb. Dumb.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Okay. So dumb. And it fucking, it just drives me bananas, bro. Yes. Well, would we like to give any flowers or take backs or giveaways? Yeah. Let me just take back the rock. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:17 We got to do a little bit. I would love to be invited to the Iron Paradise. So the rock, if you could just invite me there. I would, I would love that. I would appreciate it. There's merch. I'm going to give flowers to the first Matrix, which I never really liked and I still don't love.
Starting point is 00:56:34 But I watched it after I tried to get through the new Matrix. And I have a whole new appreciation for it that I didn't have before. So flowers to Matrix One. Matrix One. www.WhatIsTheMatrix.com Exactly. Do you remember when the Matrix first came out? How much of like, like the ads for it were so mysterious
Starting point is 00:56:55 and you truly didn't know what it was? And going into that movie, you, you, you just had, all the answers came from the film. You had no expectations going in. It just was like mind blowing. Right. It was just like the date that the movie came out vertically on the posters with like the green numbers and shit.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah. Binary code, baby. I mean, watching it now, I was like, oh, this is cool. This is heavy. My favorite thing ever was the deja vu moment with the black cat. Yes. I love in movies when they explain things that happen in reality and then apply them to the rules of their world,
Starting point is 00:57:27 which like validates it for the audience. That shit was cool. When he karate kicked at the end and then slowly swung his leg back like that. Hated it. That is the dumbest move in the history of action movies. All right. Put your leg down quickly and less.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I would love to give some shout out and flowers to Arnold, dude. We mentioned him, but like Conan is like, watch that movie. That is a tour de force performance. That guy, which one do you like? Barbarian or destroyer? I mean, they're both great, but I'm a, I'm a barbarian guy. Barbarian is mine. I love it.
Starting point is 00:58:03 It's just that movies aren't like that. James Earl Jones, right? Yes. So fucking crazy. He like cuts it. Yeah. With the coolest haircut you've ever seen. I need to rewatch that.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Yes. And a sick ass giant snake, just fucking coolest. Fuck. He turns, he turns into the snake. Those movies ruled. You know, I'd like to hold on. I'd like to give some flowers to Red Notice for the most minutes watched of any Netflix show ever made.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Fuck. Because that is how we determine whether it is good or not. Hey, Kyle. The train is leaving the station. You're either on board or you're left behind, man. Yo, it's all good. All good. You will be lucky to have somebody watch 10 minutes of your shit.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I didn't hate it. I did, I did not hate Red Notice. I know people did. It wasn't my favorite movie of all time, but I thought it was fun. Yeah, it's all good. I'm happy to give notes if they ever want them. You know what I mean? It's all good.
Starting point is 00:58:56 You know what I mean? That's cool. Kyle and his like cobwebby barn with a pickleball, just giving notes to movies. It's all good. If people want to know, I'll let them know. You know what I mean? But these are just thoughts.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Hey, go watch The New Matrix and then text me if it's better or worse than Red Notice. Because I did want to watch Red Notice. And I was hoping that Kyle was going to direct the Silver Surfer movie, but I think your name is out of the hat now. There it is. You're off the project. There it is.
Starting point is 00:59:23 I'll still do it. I'll still do it, Marvel. I'll still do it. I got to take. I got to take on Silver Surfer. All right. Hey, what happened? Hi, I'm David Eagleman.
