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.

what's the most important bottom line critical thing happening on this planet. Today on This Is Important. Dude, remember when we threw the buckets of cum on you guys? I'm pissed now. Hey, I'll be right back. I'm getting head. The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Buckle up. Yes. The cause of diarrhea. Oh my god. Hey, let's address the elephant in the room. Oh my god. It's a bagel. What's the elephant? How many episodes has it been that Carl's been with us? Are we at the over-under yet? With the elephant? I think this is seven, right? No, no. This is eight, nine. This is 10, bro. 10 included. This is like episode seven. No, it isn't. It might be. No, it isn't. There's no way any of us

could actually know. Here's what it is. Right now, I'm saying this is episode 79 and if it's true, dope. Hey, and guess who? Then in that case, guess who would have won the little bet? Me. How many has Kyle been involved with? This is 78. Yeah, and Adam, you said what? He would last seven or six? Yeah. No, I said less than seven, which was the over-under. But do you remember what I said? Because I believe in my friend and you remember what I said? You said forever. I said he's in for the long haul. Oh my gosh. Well, not forever. You said the long haul. That we don't know what that is. I can't wait to hold your hair back when you're puking in the toilet and he's left you with it. Oh, yeah, the bitch. Oh my gosh. Thank you for doing that. Hey, guys, guys, guess what?

Guess what? What, dude? Give it to us. My freaking birthday is around the corner. Just around the bend. And it caught me thinking about birthdays. Yes. And this is 48. This is 48. No, the 38, brother. This is 38. I was just guessing what you looked like. But you should google it to make sure I'm not lying, because I really have trouble with it. Yes, and you look great. But do you remember my 31st birthday? Do you guys remember this? Can you remind us? Is there a clue? What? The 31 Bont salute. Oh my God. Hold on. Do you remember that? Hold on. I love it. Blake's like, no. Do you guys remember when we were doing workaholics? Do you remember? Adam has 31. No idea what we were talking about. That was great. I do remember. We were on set for workaholics.

Yeah. Did we have set deck or was it us the night before? We rolled. I got a hold of a ton of weed and it was like goons and Isaacs stand in and they rolled. Let's say allegedly, allegedly employees of ours rolled blunts. Yeah, 31 of them. Well, I mean, it's California, we're saying. Oh yeah, and we blew it and you walked through. Yes. That was the best part was the staging. It was fucking stepping out. Okay, walk us through it. Like build it out because it was a fucking great birthday. My goodness. It was 31 blunt salute. And basically it was 15 people standing on one side facing another 15 people on the other side. That's all he thinks about now. Like a birthday tunnel. Like a birthday tunnel. Right. Yeah. And I was the one. So it was 15, 15, one. Everybody,

we had to like light them up. Thank you, guys. Puff, puff. And we played Cypress Hill. We played fucking hits from the ball. Dude, I was looking through those photos because Kyle's brother, baby Newt, Adam Newtcheck, he just dumped a bunch of old photos on us. And there's those photos. And I'm like, wait, was this us wrapping workaholists? Because I don't remember Kyle going through a tunnel. It's definitely from the 31 blunt salute. Adam and I were looking at this this morning, me and baby Newtche were checking it out. And I was like, the fucking 31 blunt, everybody took hits and blew it in the tunnel. And I had to walk down the tunnel and inhale everything. Damn, that was fucking cool. You walked hella proudly, like your chin was high.

Dude, if Instagram, if Instagram was cracking, that would have gone freaking viral, dude. Yeah, it was a hashtag. It definitely was a hashtag. Is that how you live, Blake? It's just weird because now, yes, I see everything through the social media lens. Yeah, that's, that's all he thinks about now. When we were in workaholics, it was kind of, Instagram was still kind of new. It wasn't like what everyone got everything from. Yeah, we were still like using filters and stuff. Yeah. It's still like a way to make your, your photos look cool and retro. Yeah. Are you talking about like hypstamatic before?

Dude, everybody was hyper just distorting their photos and everybody thought it was really cool to make everything like kind of sepia like burnt out. Yeah. Yeah, it was fucking cool, dude. I remember that. God, that was so sick. I remember the buildup being so big and then walking down the tunnel with everybody blowing smoke and it was like, this is actually fucking living up to the hype right now. Like, I don't know if I'm stoned it in my own head, but this is like one of the sickest things I've ever done. Did you peak at that time? Yeah, that was sick. I think that was a peak. That was definitely peak. That was similar to what we would do for like Super Bowl parties.

Remember, we would, the night before the Super Bowl, because we always threw, we took pride in our Super Bowl parties. Oh, we did. We always had like a two kegs and then like the night before we would roll tons of joints and we just had like a bowl in the middle of that leather ottoman from my dad that traveled from house to house with us. It was an indestructible leather ottoman and we just had a bowl with, with joints. Yeah. Like just take it if you want. This was like Adam's blow. He was like, it's going to be like blow. Dude, it was sick. Those Super Bowl parties were so insane. We got so fucked up. I hardly even remember half of the games. Bro, we used to like wire TVs all over the house, like putting one out in the backyard,

put one in this room and set it all up like we were a fucking bar. Yeah, this is the way. It was super dope. And I guess we just had the Super Bowl. We did. We just had that and that was a game. Probably. All right. We might have had it weeks ago. It might have been a while. Yeah, I think so. Wow. Congratulations to the winner. You did it. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Rams. There it is. Okay. Back to the future too. He's got an almanac. Everybody listening and watching. We recorded this about seven years ago. Yeah, this one's an old one. Yeah. We're still in the writer's room. So we're going to make a few predictions. The Rams played the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Question mark. The Rams squeaked it out, which I'm pretty upset about. Riveting content. Is that possible, by the way? Is it possible for the Rams to play the 49ers in the Super Bowl? They've done that before, I think. I believe they have a Super Bowl behind them. Look at Isaac so quick with the Cali connects. He said no. Same division. Right. So they'll play for division title. No. That makes sense. Dude, I can't wait to see that because the Rams can't beat the Niners were the freaking, I don't know how to complete that sentence. Why do you think the Niners would beat the Rams? Because they haven't beat them in like 15 games.

Until this is a future episode and they just beat them. Fuck. This is cool. It's like past predictions of sports. Yeah, this is like an X-Men movie right now. Yeah, this is a weird sports multi-verse fucking prequel shit going on here. This is this is bizarre. If you guys are wondering where Adam is, so are we. I think he might be, his computer's going to go. Sorry guys, my computer is plugged in, but it's not charging. Right. It's going to die any second. So I don't know what to do. What is going on, Adam? No, let's check it out real quick. What's going down?

But the headphones, we're definitely not hearing you through your mic. Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to have a peek into the window of our tech. Let's go Kyle. Of our relationship. Did you try to put it into a different slot like the charger, like fuck around a little bit? Geek Squad. Yes, it's currently in a new slot. Okay. This is good. This is good radio. Okay, good. Did you turn it on and off again? Right. It's not charging. That's the problem. What percentage are you on?

We've done this with Durs before where we counted them down. Honestly, Adam, it's not a big deal. You just hop back on on your phone and nobody cares. It's how we could be doing it, driving around town every week. Yeah. You think we should take this thing super mobile? It doesn't matter. Yeah. Nobody cares. It's science. I mean, it matters as much as you want it to. Come on. That's true, Blake. Good point. Well, okay. Wait, what does that fucking mean, bro?

Nothing. Again, he says something that means nothing. Like, yeah, we could all be walking through the mall on our cell phones doing this podcast, but you know what? There's a standard we try to live up to. Okay. What is that? Okay. All right. Who said that standard? Yeah. Sorry, we all don't have our brown hat on. We did. We hold ourselves accountable as we always have. Okay? Bitch spell account. All right. All right. A. C. It's science.

Aunable. A. C. Aunable. Can we talk about your glasses? A. C. C. Aunable. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about his glasses. What the fuck is going on? Are you wearing like Kelvin gemstone fashion glasses or what are you doing? Yeah, man. I'm here. I'm trying to rep your show, bro. Everybody watch Righteous Gemsstones on HBO Max. No, don't do that. That's not what you're doing. Like, why are you wearing them?

Yeah. Why are you wearing them? For real though? It was for an audition. They were just right here. I picked them up, but I'm not having a goof. Okay. I'm having a little fun. You look good. Oh, boy. Well, I'm going to take the angle. I'm going to take the road in the highway. You look good, boy. Love that road in the highway.

Thank you. I agree. I would love to wear glasses. I wish my eyes were fucked up. Wow. Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Goosebumps. I wish my eyes were stabbed out by hot spikes. Pokers? Pokers. Very, very hot spikes. Hotlines? Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Shut up, bitch. If that gave me an excuse to wear glasses, I would take that. Because of how good you look, because of the highway I chose. I love the way I look in glasses. Are those your Little Richie's Fish and Porium glasses? They are. These glasses were my, well, they were, basically,

we've talked about Teddy several times on the pod, but he wore a similar glass, and he gave me his old glasses. Well, he needed them for vision's sake. I love how you said that. Yes. Yes. I love how you said that. But when he upgraded his glasses, he gave me his old ones because I love them so much,

but these aren't even them. These are just kind of like replicas of them that I got from Costco. Do they have lenses? The lenses are knocked out, right? Well, I popped them out for the audition I did, because the ring light was showing. Right. Very professional. And what was this cool audition did you do? I don't know if I'm allowed to say.

It's under range. Yeah, you can't talk about shit before it comes out. Adam wants to know because he didn't get sent in. He's like, well, what's going on? I don't know. It was big, too. It was big, guys. He's going to light someone up. I'm not going to get it.

Hey, man. I would love to do it. I'm pissed now. That's a good feeling where you're like, hey, you took all yesterday to study that. Did it today? Not going to get it. 12 pages. 12 pages.

Really? You have to have that. That's a damn 12-page audition, playboy. Damn. Damn. Damn, son. That's heavy. Yeah, no.

I'm pissed now. No. Ever since the freaking pandemic happened, auditions have been getting longer. Has anybody noticed that? I'd be getting three scenes, four scenes. I'm like, you get one to two scenes, brother. Hey, when you print them out, they're real heavy like that. Yeah.

Yeah. No. You can do three. I can't. You can do three. Come on now. You can do three scenes. Come on now.

Beginning, beginning, middle, and end. Yeah. You want to see my range of emotion? I get it. In character, can I go here? Can I go there? Give me the arc. You don't need four scenes.

I'm saying three scenes. I'm saying three scenes is fine. At most. No, I want two. Sure. Fine. At most, fine. Two.

At most, Dolby surround sound. At most. I mean, come on. Yeah. Come on, people. Or just like, watch everything Blake's done before. Or that. Guys, Hollywood, listen up.

He's not auditioning anymore, all right? He's passed it. Okay, offer only. You want him to cut the hair? He'll cut the hair. Fuck it. It's going to cost a little bit of money. Okay, all right.

Is that what it is? Have we talked about that? You've got a price tag on your locks? We've talked about it, but I don't think. I mean, I've never given it an official answer. Let's do that now. So everyone out there in Hollywood knows what's the price tag for the hair to go. Okay, so like, it's frustrating because I watch movies like Licorice Pizza, right?

Where I'm like, I feel like my hair shouldn't be a deterrent for casting me because it's like an era piece. Right. So like, how come like, first thought of these like, directors aren't like, oh, we're making something in the 70s or 60s. Like, let's go straight to Blake. He's got the hair already. Well, Blake, what their mindset is, I want a good actor and then we can grow his hair out.

Yeah. They work their way back that way. They don't go for some shitty ass regular guy. I don't give a fuck. Somebody who can memorize a couple pages. You don't think they go hair first? All right. Give me everybody with hair past their chin out here.

Well, okay. So, but you know, going along with that, I think I would, it's not so much what I cut my hair for money. I think I would cut my hair for like, if someone who I respected like as far as like, directorially or. And who is that? Who would that be? So, if PTA asked you, you'd be like, yes, is that what you're saying?

Nick Rich Pizza Boy? I would highly consider it. Okay. I would highly consider it. I think Paul Thomas Anderson, everything he does, I would be honored to be a part of. It all looks great. Who are you holding above Paul Thomas Anderson? The Cohen brothers.

Okay. So, co-brothers are one. Have you seen Macbeth? I should have been Macbeth. I don't know why Denzel got it. You got that Macbreath. That's why you... That's all I kept thinking is like, bro, I did it with Andy Dick.

Oh, fuck, oh, fuck. That's what Macbreath is from. Yes, that's right. Here's my scene work with Andy Dick. So good. That is such a great fucking episode. God. Would you rather be in a movie with Denzel Washington or Andy Dick?

Go. That's tough. There's one person that I know I could be. I don't know. Andy's a little problematic, but I love him. He's a God. He's a God. Whoa, wait.

You're more sure of being in a movie with Denzel Washington than Andy Dick. Andy Dick, you got to wrangle him in. Denzel's going to be there on the day. Yeah. If I were to get cast in a movie with Denzel, that would be insane. I imagine he is like... I heard you cut your hair. Okay.

Okay. Okay. That's dedication. I see you got a picture from before. Can I see what it looked like? That was a really nice hair. You had some long hair. For eight years.

Wow. This is you? This is you. Okay. Okay. This is the one. Eight years of what? You think you've only had that hair for eight years?

Hasn't it been over a decade? I mean, yeah, it's getting up there now. He said this hair, this one hair he's had for eight years. I've had this hair. This hair I've had. This hair I've had. It's so crazy. Yeah, I don't know.

Okay. So, Coen Brothers, for sure. Oh, yeah. Man, I mean, if they asked that, because I think I could retire after that. If I did a Coen Brothers movie, Coen. Well, financially, I don't know. No, not financially. Just like, I feel like that's the peak of sorts.

I just think they're amazing. Oh, yeah. They're fucking fantastic. And so after you do that movie, it's just like restaurants. Yeah, then I'm a waiter. Dinner? No. It's just going to dinners and stuff.

Telling stories. Back to where you were. You go back. You go back to the start of Hollywood. I'm a man. Going back to Conker. No, once you do a Coen Brothers movie and you cut your hair for it, you're going to get two more movies off of that.

Right. Right? Right. True. Right? Yeah. Dude, you know how Hollywood is? It's a role.

I wish. You get on a roll. I wish. You get on a roll and the next thing you know, you can't stop working. You get a roll. You're on a roll. Eat some rolls. And it's great that we don't have Adam here.

It's that Hollywood shuffle, baby. Yeah, absolutely. Freakin' lootly. So wait, okay. So there's only three directors or two. Two right now, PTA and Coen's. If Kyle had his passion project and he's like, I want you to be my silver surfer.

He's going to Teddy. I might shave him my head. He's going to Teddy. Well, I got the toy. Why would he go to you when he can go to Teddy? It's true. Well, Teddy can memorize four scenes, no problem. Yeah, and Teddy wears glasses for real.

He's not just some fraud. Teddy wears those real glasses. Those actually are based on Teddy's glasses. Is that even your real hair? I would actually like to play Teddy in a movie. That's fucking deep. Wait, wait, how are we burying the headline? I fucking got jumped and casting.

What? Fucking Daniel Radcliffe is playing Weird Al Yankovic in a biofilm. Yeah, I know. It's the whole fucking reason I am what I am. Yeah. And the motherfucker swooped me. This needs to be an internet campaign.

It's a yell campaign. This is not a whisper campaign. This is a yell campaign. Hey, Blake, why don't you eat it? Hey, I'll tell you right now. This wasn't an audition for Weird Al's movie. It should have been. I didn't even get a fucking read.

Yeah. All professionalism aside, do we think Daniel Radcliffe is the guy for Weird Al? I don't know. What did he do? He might have not done anything. I was thinking about, I don't know what the fuck is going on.

I don't get it. I mean, I get it. I understand that a lot of people who watch that sketch now have the keys to green lights, especially in a fucking content. Watch what sketch? The Weird Al biopic? But he wasn't Weird Al in there.

It was Aaron Paul. I know, but it's based on that. There was a sketch? The Aaron Paul sketch. That was like, it's a funny or die sketch called Weird. Starring Aaron Paul, where it was a dramatic take, directed by Eric Appel from Workaholics. Sure.

Did a couple episodes, one or two. You guys, that's my impression of him. Funny guy. And now, fucking whatever, 10 years later, over a decade, there is Roku original content, green lighting, that concept for a movie, and Radcliffe is coming in. Roku?

Yes. Yes. What the fuck is going on? Do you think that they're approaching this movie as like a super hyper serious thing? Or do you think it's going to be a comedy? I'm like, I don't know what the tone of this movie's about. It's going to be like Forest Gump tone,

where there's going to be like, touch and go moments where it's like, you're so fucking weird. And he's like, I'm going to be weird forever. That was the sketch. And then he's going to be like, UHF is going to be like the thing. And everyone's like, it didn't make any money.

You know, then Michael Richards is going to be saying like the N-word constantly to like tee that up. That is the sketch. That's what it is. I know. That's the sketch. Yeah. Well, then they're just going to do it, but not tongue-in-cheek probably.

Wow. I don't know. Which is like kind of like doing the fresh prints like reboot in the drama, where they're just like flipping fucking things. It's like, what are these green lights? Is there a fresh prints reboot? I don't know. Yes. There's a dramatic.

There's an hour long reinterpretation of the fresh prints dramatic. Is it just called the prints or something? Maybe it's called Bel Air. I don't know. I like that. That's genius dude. See, that's how you sell it in the room.

The judge's nephew. But who's green lighting these fucking things? It's the people who like laughed and like are like, oh, that'd be so funny if that's what I'm saying. Like who's got the finger on the button? It's the whole world gone crazy. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it.

What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this, he's going to come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart Radio app,

Dude, and look, I'm going to tell you guys right now, I wouldn't be who I am today without Weird Owl Yankovic. Yes. I grew up on Weird Owl. Yes. And the reason I believe that I have such an ear for such a variety of music is purely because I listened to Weird Owl's albums and he went on in every genre.

Yes. And he opened my eyes to everything. And I love Polka. UHF. I loved UHF. I loved Weird Owl's TV show with Harvey the Wonderhamster. Huge man. Yes.

Yes. Here's what I'm saying, though. I'm not super sold on whatever this movie's going to be. Yeah, that's a tough. That's tough. I know. I get it, though. I do kind of understand it because I'm happy for Owl.

You know, I'm happy for Owl. I think it's great. Yeah, I love Owl. And I think he's a notoriously, or wait, is a notoriously bad thing. You don't know him. Please call him Albert. Call him my full name, Albert.

Albert Von Yankovic. Yeah. He's a beloved figure in the comedy scene. He's very generous with his time. I've met him a couple of times. Super, super, super nice dude. He's down for comedy. Yeah, yes.

He's a godfather of it. Yeah, yes he is. He's the man. He is truly an original. I mean, I know there's like Tiny Tim or whatever before him that was kind of like, I'm the weird music guy that's popular because of that. Dr. Demento.

Sure. Yeah, that's how he got his jump off. I guess like, I think maybe I'm fudging the history, but as a softcore historian, there's like this dude named Dr. Demento. A softcore? I think, well. Okay, go ahead.

Go ahead. Dr. Demento had like this radio show. Red shoe diaries? He had this radio show where he would play like funny music. Like, dude, who was that guy we used to listen to in your mom's van? Fucking Spike Jonze. Oh, OG Spike Jonze.

Spike Jonze. He did like a lot of humorous, yeah, like did like a lot of humorous songs. So there was like this wealth of like humorous, comedic songs that Dr. Demento would play on his station. And I think Weird Owl came up through him. And then just like his shit was so far when he did like, another one rides the bus.

Oh my God. Yeah, right, bro. This bro was just slaying accordion. Right. And fucking killing it. Did you enjoy the polka? I could never, like I would borrow those CDs from friends or tapes or whatever.

And I couldn't get through the polka. I liked the polka remakes, the polka remakes of like. He would do medleys almost on every album. Yeah, I loved the medleys. I thought they were great. Here's my thing. When I was a kid, I hated him. I skimmed that track.

Not me. But now as an adult, I go back and I'm like, that's kind of the coolest thing when he just like is burning through the top 40 on the accordion polka style. That's yes. That's kind of fucking genius. That took the most guts. He's like, I'm going to get him here with eat it or fat

or whatever the fuck else. And then I'm going to feed them their vegetables. Oreo. Yeah, dude. Wait, is that the white stuff? Yeah. And it was about Oreo. It's in the middle.

The white. Do you guys remember when we did? What was it? Festival Supreme as the wizards and well, the wizards were there too, right? And yeah, I think I know you mean. But I remember I was there. I went there to support them and I was there backstage

and I thought I was I was there very early to get the sound cues ready for the wizards before they came through the portal. Thank you for that. And the only other person that was there was Al. Yeah. And I was sitting in the tent profession pro Al. Yeah, reading a fucking book and I'm like, what are you doing?

He's like, oh, I'm performing with Highdecker. And I was like, I'm sick. The first one there, when it actually came on to him slaying and doing his accordion, he was out there for maybe a minute and a half, two minutes he played for. But he was the first person there ready. That's how I know Al.

So worried about the flowers we're giving. And I just want to say real quick, real quick, Cheech and Chong also played at that show and they were fucking unbelievable. But just to stay with Weird Al for a second. Oh god, let's talk about them though. Let's get weird. Do you remember your first Weird Al sighting in LA?

Because I do feel like it is a, like a, people are like, oh yes. Because I saw him at Paquito Mas and I was like, that's fucking Weird Al. Oh dude. Stars there just like us. Weird wild stuff. And I just want to tee you guys up because I wasn't there for this.

And this is the backstory and maybe we've told this on the podcast, but you guys saw Weird Al at the Orange County festival or whatever. Yes, yes. And before he was coming out on to the poodle hat tour. Before he came out on stage, you guys started the chant of, let's get weird. Let's get weird. Yes.

That's right. With Teddy. With Teddy. With Teddy. Yes. We've covered this. Yeah. We have covered this.

Yeah. It was during the poodle hat tour at Orange County Fair. Yeah. And that was the moment that the let's get weird movement was kind of born. Right. And then brought, you guys brought it to the show. And then the NHL took it. And then.

And then the NHL and then, and then Vice. I do remember going back home to like party for Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever. I'm a big Christmas guy and seeing friends and they're like, yeah, man, let's go out and get, let's get weird. And I'd go, right. And they'd go, and someone would be like, that's, you know, that's from like his show. And they go, what are you talking about?

People say that. And then I'd be like, I don't, I'm not going to. You get caught. Yeah. You get caught in the middle of like, oh, defend it. Perfect. That's like, whatever. Well, no, yeah.

Someone's like, no, that's from what that's their show. And they're like, dude, no, everyone says that. And I go, well, well, I, uh, I think I remember the first time I met a weird owl. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

I think it was backstage. What was the show that, um, kumail. Kumail. Yes. And Jonah Ray. Yeah. What I, and I can, we need to get that tape. Do it.

The meltdown comedy show. Meltdown. Meltdown. Meltdown. Meltdown was one of the sickest comic book shops in Los Angeles. And it got super, super hit because they would start to do comedy shows in the back of this comic shop. RIP to fucking meltdown.

Right. Is it gone? Yeah, dude. Well, cause it was co-owned by Guillermo del Toro. Correct. Was it? Oh, really? Yeah.

Yeah. I think it was co-owned by him and his homie. And then there might have been like a drama, a falling out or something. Cause it was a massive space. Huge. Huge. And you could buy like a giant ninja turtle, like six feet tall. Yeah.

They had a Bob's Big Boy figures that were done by like a bunch of different artists. It was crazy. They had what Blake just said. And then like a little tiny black box theater in the back where they were doing comedy and getting legit standup stars to be. Oh yeah. No, it was a, it was a movement. It wasn't co-owned by Guillermo.

Who, who co-owned it though? No, no, that is, that was a, that was a falsehood. It was a nerd comedy movement. They really stamped like nerd comedy movement. Didn't they, I did, I feel like I did a podcast upstairs too, like a couple pods. They did, they had a pod. It was a whole age, how the fuck did Meltdown go to the shit? And what Blake, what did they have that was the prize possession that I'm so mad I never bought?

Oh, I know what it is. And I, I know, it was like $150. And I was like, I can't, I can't buy this. I don't know what it is. I do not know what it is. It was a little stuffed dren. Oh my God. Yes.

You love dren, bro. You from the movie splice. Yes. You fucking love dren and I love that about you. It was a little plushy dren. It was like a little, it was so cute. Dren is the funniest movie of all time. And like in a, sorry, splice, splice, splice.

Splice is the funniest movie all time because it's essentially like a doctor who is trying to like create a being or like a, like a thing. Frankenstein's monster. And it comes out and it's actually kind of hot. And he's like, I gotta fuck it. And then I know we've talked about it before, but then he fucks it. And then it turns into like a super mutant. You got to watch it.

You got to watch it. What happens? What, I can't remember that third act. I just remember when he was like on top of dren. Yeah, like his wife comes in and is like, what are you doing? He's like, uh, uh, and then it like starts to sprout wings and starts like, it's just Dude, what are those days like on set? What is Adrian Brody like?

Okay, today's the day. Yeah, today's the day. You know, he's ready. That's an actor. It's the same movie as Lady in the Water almost where like somebody's fucking, but like in, is it Lady in the Water or shape of water? Shape of water. Thank you.

Shape of water. Yeah, yeah. Guillermo. That is a Guillermo del Toro project. Wait, what was the, what was the one that with Paul Giamatti, that M Night Shalamon movie? That's Lady in the Water. I never got through that one. Which was also kind of about fucking like a fish, right?

It was a fish. It was like a pool and you like went underneath the drain and the movie. And then you went into another universe or something? That movie was something else. Terrible. Right. Did they overtly fuck a creature? Or was that like a metaphor behind the cuts?

I never saw that. He just stuck his dick down the drain and was like, whoa. Just testing that, not really. Not bad. That's the movie. That's one of the movies where like you watched the whole movie and then in the last five minutes it pulls out to reveal that it was just Paul Giamatti with his dick stuck in the fucking jets going. That was the M Night Shalamon twist.

And you were there and you were there and you were a fish. Did you fuck me? Dude, you passed out with your dick stuck in the vacuum of the pool field. I was in another dimension. You're like, dude, you were, you kept coming. It was the pain. You passed out from the pain, but your body was still coming. Dude, that's too great.

We almost left you. It was so gross. And that is the shape of water. No, that's lady in the water. Lady in the water. Lady in the water is just dick in the drain. That actually was kind of what the episode we did where we go into Bill's, his dream remember it all turned out we were like jerking him off.

That's right. Oh yeah. What the fuck was that? The twist. We were making him come. The end of Bill's episode where he was having a dream where he was like, in the dream, he was fucking Manda Cerny. Manda Cerny, yeah.

Right? Great. Awesome. But in reality, we were jacking him off and he was. With like a back scratcher or something. Or like it was some kind of like, Viber like put it on his lap and he cummed his pants. Oh my God.

What was the vibrator? I can't remember what we used. You must have been selling them. It was like a massager or something. That's crazy. That was the twist. You're coming. You fell asleep in your coming.

This was all a dream. Oh my God. That is so funny. Hell of a dream. That is so. Dude, remember when we threw the buckets of cum on you guys, but then I think we cut it out of the episode. But there were buckets.

Yeah. Buckets. We didn't pass, what's that called? Standards and practices. Yeah. Right, right. Yeah, because 30 cum salute. Yeah, we got bullet timed with buckets of fake semen

and it was, it was graphic. Oh my God. It was blast. It was like horse blast, right? Yeah. It was, they were big. It was like a big pressurized guy that we shot you with. It's almost deleted scenes, isn't it?

Am I crazy? Yeah, I feel like I saw it. I think I saw it recently on that account. That's life. Yeah, maybe. Well, if you have the DVD and you've got the, you've got the footage uploaded to Instagram. And you've got the time.

Go ahead and check it out. If you got some time, go ahead and check it out. And the tech know-how. That's something I'm losing. I do not know how to do that. Hey, circling back to a couple of things our producers put here. It is Bel Air, Kyle. Yeah, way to go.

Well done. Guillermo del Toro, not in, not in, he was, he was involved somehow though because I remember the, I met the guy. Yeah, where did you pull that from? Why, why do you think- He might have had stuff there on display, I guess, I don't know. Maybe. Or like he did sign it there.

Maybe he had the, what was this movie with the hands with the eyes? Yeah, that was his movie. Oh, um. Hands Labyrinth. Hands. Dude, Blake, do you remember going to see that movie and being like, wait, this is not what we thought it was? Not really.

Were we super high? Did we smoke a bunch of weed? Very, very stoned. And I think both of us thought it was going to be a lot more like labyrinth. Yeah. Like, like when we grew up and it was going to be more like fun. But it was, it starts with like the, with somebody like getting shot point blank, right?

It's because the whole movie is- It's like Nazis, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's like Cold War kind of shit. Dude, I can't. I can't remember, I just say Nazis. I couldn't even tell you what that movie was fucking about, dude.

But the whole thing is escapism from the little girl who saw trauma, who like experienced, is experiencing trauma at the beginning. And it was, we were very stoned and just like, holy shit. I remember not liking the, I remember thinking you got the nightmares scarier than the reality. I don't know. Because I was like- Yeah, I guess that's what they were balancing out. Oh, right.

Yeah. The real stuff was scarier to me. Like I'm saying engineer the set pieces of the nightmares to be scarier than the reality. I don't know. Yeah. I know what you're saying. Because I was like, whatever, this monster is not scary. The dude with the fucking bottle who like, he busted the bottle and like cut the dude's throat open.

That was gnarly. Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't remember this movie. Yeah. It was all very heavy. It was way heavier than I thought I was going to be. It was like Cronenberg style gore.

Yep. Yeah. Wait, did Guillermo del Toro do Hellboy? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because all I can think of, I'm like, what movie has like the tooth fairies?

Remember where they're like those little things that come and like pull your teeth out of your mouth and eat your teeth? I don't remember that. I think it's from Hellboy. He's like, oh shit, fucking tooth fairies. That's cool. I don't remember that, but yeah. Oh, they're cool. They're like, come and like eat your teeth.

I think, unless I made that up and then we need to trademark that shit. Put that on the wraps. Yeah, we got it. Let's do it. Hellboy was good. I would cut my hair for Guillermo del Toro. Really? Yeah, you should.

Do I say really? I would cut his hair. I'd be like, if you're getting me in this movie, I get to cut your hair. Oh, cool. And he'd be like, I could change your career. And I'd go, no, don't want it. What was his last one? Did he do the Beatles thing?

No, that was Peter Jackson. They're the same guy to me. They're the same guy to me. He did the Shape of Water. And then he did this new one called Nightmare Alley. Oh, that's supposed to be rad. Yeah. That's supposed to be rad.

I just got that. No, no, you misread that. You misread that. Sounds like rad. Bad. I think he's got a 10 part, he's got a episodic show coming out too. I know they were making it up in Toronto. Is it his or is it brought to you by him?

I think he did a lot of it. I think he actually did a lot of it. He didn't do the EP thing and just not sure what. The dream. That's the dream. Yeah. LTD, baby. That's the dream, baby.

Do you remember when Guillermo del Toro was going to be doing the Hobbit? Yeah, dude. I honestly think he would have fucking slayed it. Because that's the most excited I've been for Lord of the Rings, was just the thought of him doing. It's not Lord of the Rings is the Hobbit, but okay. What do you mean? What is the same?

Same world. No, you're talking. No, you're talking, baby. Fair enough. I really do not. I should probably. You've been talking too much. Kanja.

Yeah. Yeah, I talk in too much weird. I remember there was like some tests where he was going to do like the actual like trampoline jumping and make it more physical. Like the Manchuk? Less. Yeah, chuggies. Ziggy, zaggy, ziggy, zaggy.

Yeah, he's just going to be girls jumping on trampolines. And now girls jumping on trampolines, bro. What the fuck? You can find me in the Shire. Look at these hobbits. Hey, these hobbits got big old. They got these hobbits in boy shorts. Woo.

This is important. I'm telling you that they just substitute the juggies were hobbits. Your boobs are huge. She got big feet, but I'm with it. She got hairy feet, but I ain't seeing that. Anyway, sorry, Kyle. You were saying that he was going to have the hobbits on trampolines. Cool.

Go ahead. Yeah, that sounds cool, man. Your boobs are huge. It was going to be like more wire work, less CG. And it's like, I don't know. His style, I think, would have fitted pretty well. I think it would have been super dope, because the hobbit that we got,

who ended up being the director for that one, that shit was. It was Peter Jackson. He took it back. Oh, that was so bad. I don't shit on a lot of stuff, but the hobbit was terrible. Didn't he sing, there was like hella songs in it, right? Well, which is fine, because the hobbit has those in the book. But also the hobbit is one book.

Lord of the Rings is several books. And this motherfucker tried to make the hobbit three movies. No, you're talking. He didn't have a choice, though. He got us back up against the wall. They're like, yo, franchise that for us, please. Yes, it's true. He's not making that choice, necessarily.

They were stretching that shit out, because those songs were way too long. It was like, God, dang. I remember that was kind of sick, actually, when they were all like balancing dishes and shit. We will go. They were like sloshing their stones. It was like actually tight.

Yeah, that was actually super dope. Breaking plates, that's what Bilbo Baggins hates. Really? I think that's something. That might be from the cartoon. I remember being like, click. The cartoon was hard. Did you watch the cartoon as a youngster?

Very impactful. I remember renting, I don't know if I rented it, or like I would just catch it and be like, is this for adults? Like because it wasn't for kids, for sure. Well, there were two. There was the Lord of the Rings cartoon, which was sick. And then there was this ain't Lord of the Rings.

And then there was this ain't Lord of the Rings. Then there was the Hobbit. No, this is the Hobbit. The Hobbit is the one I had seen. The Hobbit was a little more geared towards kids. It had like the greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Is that on the Matrix soundtrack? Dude, that shit is fire.

Dude, I wanted to sample. I remember trying to sample that shit for the Wizards album. Dude, that is sick. I just wasn't good enough. I'm not a really great producer. I don't know how to do that shit. Bullshit. Yeah.

Bullshit. I don't want to hear that. No, that stuff's hard, man. I did not put in my 10,000 hours on that shit. 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

But the Lord of the Rings cartoon was kind of a little more adult because they did like rotoscoping, which is when they like drawl over like real humans and shit. And that shit looked fucking cool. Right. Man, maybe I should have done that. Right. Man, maybe I don't know which one I saw

because I remember Gandalf. Is Gandalf in the Hobbit? He's in both. Okay. Then maybe I saw the Hobbit. He's a constant. And that style of animation, it was, I mean, it was anime, but like...

Yeah. You must have watched Lord of the Rings because that one was way more realistic and scary. And then the Hobbit is kind of a little more cartoon-y. It's more like David the Gnome. A little bit. Remember that shit? Dude.

The David the Gnome theme song. I'm pulling that theme song up. Please pull it up. David the Gnome. I'm trying to remember what channel that was on, but it was a... Nickelodeon. It was, right?

Was it Nickelodeon? I remember I always skipped that shit. I did not watch David the Gnome. And the voice was that like cool grandpa guy, right? Look, we got it pulled up, but I mean, this is a minute song, so I don't know if we're going to be able to get all of it. Just play the very beginning. I think it goes right on.

It's so soft. I don't remember this part. It's so soft. No, this is just the intro. That wasn't the song, so... Here it goes. Yeah, see? Pavlovian response.

All right. Producers are saying, do not play the whole thing. Dude, what a jam. Will you go to the very end? Because I feel like you do not play. I feel like the last 10 seconds had a real tie-up where it's like... You did it? Where it was like, and that's David.

Dude, he's a gnome. He's a gnome. It had to end on a high note. He's a gnome. Yes! I knew it. I knew it. That shit goes.

The gnome. Dude, I'm so... He's a gnome. They tell this whole story and then at the very end they reveal, he's a gnome. Right. He could go... He goes to school and he works too. He's got several kids.

Did you know? He's a gnome. How old was David the gnome? Was he like... What was the show about? Oh, the show or the person. What was that show about? What the fuck was it?

That was on some Nickelodeon, like that shit came on. And yeah, I didn't pay attention, but the song was so fucking good. Yeah. And the art style was kind of sick too. Yeah, it was tight. They lived in little huts and... Yeah, and they rubbed noses. Yes, that shit was sexual.

And remember the fox? He wrote a fox? Yes. Yeah, it was sexual. Yeah, it was kind of hot. It was sexual? Riding a fox is some boss shit. It's from 85.

But I think they replayed it on Nickelodeon. I think Nickelodeon, like... There's no way that, David. It must be a BBC show or some shit. Something. But the voice was that guy. It was, oh, this is the voice was. The voice was the Cunningham's dad from Happy Days.

Holy shit. Oh, the fucking... What's his name? I don't know, but he was very friendly guy. Dan Laura. Dan Laura? Dude, you guys want to know some wild ass shit? David the gnome was originally a Spanish television series

called David El Nomo. Oh, shit. Holy moly. He's a nomo. So they recast it with Homeboy from... What was the Happy Days? Happy Days Cunningham dad? And threw it on Nick Jr.

Yes. Oh, I'm thinking of Wonder Years dad. I got it wrong. No, that dude rocks though. Yeah. Yeah, that's Dan Laura. That's his name. He was my dad.

Like, that was as close to my dad as I ever saw on TV. He reminded me of my grandpa. Just someone who was always looking at you like, are you serious right now? Fucking stop. Yeah, great TV dad. Great TV dad. Which, I mean, I know it's been a long ways out,

but it's never too late to give somebody their flowers. Bob Saget, what a great TV dad, man. R.I.P. to a fucking goat, man. Dude. Yeah. Yeah. Full house, what a run. That show is the shit.

You know what I had forgotten that he was the voice of how I met your mother? He was like the telling the story guy. Oh, really? Yeah. The narrator. Cause like, obviously he's got, yeah, that's the term. I work in the business.

He had his full house paper, right? Stacked it. Yeah. Luchini. Then he had his AFV. America's, yeah. Oh, yeah. Fun America's videos paper, right?

Stacked that. But then I was like, where's his recent paper from? Is it just doing standup? And then I remembered he was the voice of like, the storyteller on how I met your mother. And all those shows you just named that money stacked. It's stacked high. And did you know Guillermo del Toro was a co-owner

of how I met your mother? So also, oh, where are the producers on that? They're not trying to call you out. Well, you know, Bob Sagan, that's a San Francisco legend, right? They're a real Bay Area legend. Dude, is he? Did he go to the same high school as you or not?

No, I think it was just the fact that full house took place in San Francisco and like it's kind of a place you can go and see the house. Yeah. And it's just like. Yeah, dude. A full house had like rice errone jokes. Yeah.

Yeah. And he was like constantly wearing like warriors jerseys before it was fucking Steph Curry splash bro hours. He's wearing like giant gear. So, you know, his status is he's a legend in the Bay. That's for sure. I like to think that if we were cast on that show, like it would have worked out pretty good.

Oh, dude, for days. Yeah, it would have. Yeah, for sure. I'm trying to think like, would I be, would I be Saget? Yes. And would Adam be Uncle Jesse? Adam is Uncle Jesse. Or is Blake Uncle Jesse?

Fucking Dave Couier, man. I know, but Blake seems like way more of an Uncle Joey Dave Couier type or is Adam that? I don't know that. I guess, you know what? I'm fucking with something sacred. No, it's okay. It's okay to live in the malty.

Well, that's the thing because what? Well, you have to think about you have to think about. Or is Adam Saget and I'm Jesse and Blake is Couier. I don't think it's, I don't think he could transfer it. Cause like the main thing, like their characteristics is like, Joey, it was heck a silly, immediate dude. Yes. Always gave a laugh to the kids.

But Jesse was, Jesse was a playboy. But he was in a band and getting, getting, getting some head. Yeah, he was, hey, I'll be right back. I'm getting head. Yeah, he was always getting head. They didn't really explore that, but that bro was getting domed up in the car cause he wasn't doing it at the house. You missed that episode.

Hey, he wasn't doing it at the house. He was personally getting tickets at the park. Hey, it's a full house, bro. Where is uncle Jesse getting domed up? He's in the car on the San Francisco streets, bro. Uncle Jesse has the most long car blowjobs in television history. He's in Golden Gate Park. Anna says he was getting it in the attic.

That's right. They had an attic. Oh yeah. Well, he lived in that. He's like, do not go in the attic. No, no, he had comment. He had comment waiting. He would leave comment at the door.

And whenever he started scratching the door, he'd be like, get your fucking clothes on, get your clothes on. Get your clothes on. You got to go. Kimmy's here. Kimmy Gibbler. Kimmy Gibbler. Kimmy Gibbler.

Kimmy Gibbler's like, Joe, her comedic sensibility was off the Richter scale. Where are they now? She was Kim. What happened to Kimmy Gibbler? And then she came back to it and slayed. I watched the reboot pilot and she was on the point, still killing it.

Kimmy Gibbler was still, still had it. She was Gibbler. But did she, did she do any, so you're saying she went out the business and then came back for it now? Hey, do you want to make $20,000 a week or 50 that, whatever the fuck it was? Oh no, I'm just like, I'm like, just to hit him with some gibles.

It's so cool. Like she was like made for that role and that role. It's dust off your jean jacket. With the fringe and they were like, hey, Kimmy, if you want to come back and make $20,000 an episode, and she goes, let me just hit him. She's still got that. Yeah, yeah.

Oh boy. You know that when she clicked right into the Zoom call. Oh, let me figure out that for a second. Let me Gibbler. All I got to do is Gibble. Let me Gibble. Oh yeah, I think I'm going to be Gibbler. She heard the rumblings about the reboot and she was waiting

by the phone ready to Gibble. I'm drooling. And you know, Kurt Cameron's sister, what's her name? So, Kurt, whatever, Cameron, Candace Cameron? Candace Cameron, that's the thing. You know that she was like, I got to get upstaged by this chick again. Dude, Kimmy Gibbler.

She came in like, Urkel. She came in like, Urkel and just stole the show. Yeah, she did. Dude, Kimmy Gibbler, shout out to all the Kimmy Gibbler fans. Did she not? She for sure shot a spinoff, right? Like they filmed a spinoff for her. I hope so.

I hope so. I don't. Kimmy Gibbler. She shot a spinoff called Let Me Gibble. I mean, there has to be. Gibble me. There has to be like the Gibbler seasons where she's like more prominent than others.

Could you imagine being at the monitor? She's like, oh my God. Can you imagine the meme of the guy doing the double take with the eye blanks? Just like, Gibbler, who's she or the hell is that? The writer is like, I got an idea for a character. She's like a fun neighbor. What's her name?

Kimmy Gibbler. We'll take it. What's the name again? What'd you say? No, before that, Kimmy Gibbler. Yeah, that. So good. Oh man.

Can you even imagine, because think of all the All-Star characters and for fucking Gibbler to make a splash with those twins on set? God damn. Yeah. Oh yeah. God damn. Well dude, you know what's crazy?

And this is a TGIF like kind of jumping over to another show. But on Family Matters, Eddie Winslow so underrated. Amazing. Eddie Winslow was the best. And I think I told you guys recently that I watched an interview with him on like Vlad or whatever. You know that dude? I don't know Vlad TV.

Yeah. So he did an interview with him where Vlad was like, yo, what's up with fucking Urkel? The dude who played Urkel. Like. Jaleel White. Jaleel White. Yeah.

Legend. Legend. 10 years ago, he said some shit where he's like, I'm never doing that fucking show ever again. And they were like, what's up with your boy? And Eddie Winslow's real name escapes me. But this dude goes, what you got to understand about Jaleel is that he's a perfectionist.

And he already did it the best he can. And for him to come back all these years later. Wow. He's not going to do that. He left it all on set. You know what I mean? Like he left it all. He just basically made Jaleel White sound so good and so

professional as opposed to like, what are you going to do? He's hung up on this old character. He doesn't want to be seen. Yes. That's right. Can I do that? And I was like, oh, this dude is a smart and B just elevated his dude from the show and didn't have to.

Yeah. Darius McCrary. That's right. Darius McCrary. Thank you, Eddie. Equals Eddie. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So good. No, I mean, imagine being Jaleel though and being Urkel. Like it would be such a hard thing to shake. Even being a Blake from Oracle, it's just nothing compared to being freaking Urkel. Yeah. I would say that.

I would say that too. It is nothing compared to Urkel. I mean, Urkel had so many more eyes. That was way more than Blake Henderson for sure. Yeah. We were still eating around the TV watching that shit with our family. You know what I mean?

Urkel raised me. That's why I wear the glasses. Yeah, dude. Hike up. Can you do the Urkel dance? Stick out your pelvis. Do it in the leg. Elvis.

And what's going on? Bro, who can rock? He did the episode where he was like Stefan Urkel, like the cousin or whatever. Stefan Urkel. Yeah, that's right. And when he was talking about it, he started tearing up because he was like,

it was more his speed. He's like, I didn't have to be like the geek. I got to kind of be myself and like put myself out there. And I was like, fuck, this shit's so heavy, man. You get buried in something. Well, that is the Kimmy Gibbler to the max because they came, like it was not a show about Steve Urkel, but then it became all about Steve Urkel.

Well, why didn't you cry about it? And I think that it truly is such the opposite of who he is. Like he can hoop, he balls out. He's like just not Urkel at all. So he truly was playing like a character and slayed it. Yeah. Dude, and in like how old was he when he was doing that? Like what was the span?

How many years? What was his what age? What do you mean? How long? Yeah. What age? What age? What was his age span?

Fuck. I mean, he must have been 12. 12 until he was like, what, 20? Dang. Yeah. That's eight years playing a nerd when you're so fucking famous that has to be the weirdest. I can't remember what season it was,

but you know how he pulled those pants up? At a certain point, you kind of, you saw. He grew up. He started to grow. He grew up. He grew up. Yeah. He had that, what was the logo, Urkelbot?

He had the Urkelbosh. Okay. Hey, y'all. Yeah, something. He had something. I assume that it's time to say your takebacks. Oh, we're still riding, baby. Or do some giveaways.

Yeah. Dead ringers. I got another one. You know what? I have a takeback from a few weeks ago. Okay. Where you guys were like, you could become a professional in five years if you dedicate yourself.

I like this. And I have two things. Not two things that could become professional, perhaps, but Frisbee golf. Yeah. Good. I feel like if I did that every day for five years, I could be knocking on that door.

I got a pretty good arm. I'm pretty good at it. And if I dedicated myself for five years, I could do it. I believe in you. And the other part of my argument is also that I'm not going to dedicate myself every day for five years to anything. I don't do it now in real life. So why would I do it for some trivial whatever?

Because you could go pro and you could be the man at it. Still not worth it. It's still not. Yeah. Did I do that? I guess I have a take back from the same episode because he botched signing up for a turn on that. Are you serious?

Oh my God. Are you serious? Yeah. So I'm looking for a new destination. But I just got to a point and I thought I had clicked. And then I looked at it again and I hadn't clicked. And then it said that the men's singles is all full up. You're a stupid idiot.

Fuck. Damn it, Kyle. So that's a take back. But you know what? I'll come back with a replacement. How about that? I'll replace my take back the original statement after the take back with a new statement about which you lost me.

Yeah. I'm not a smart man. Tournament. I will be trying my hand. And this is an orange county tournament. There's not a tournament up north where you are now. No, no. I was going to do a Monterey tournament.

Oh, that's a perfect place. That's what I was going to do first. Beautiful. There's, I'm looking at, I'm looking at Tustin, Santa Ana, Anaheim. I'm looking to coming down there, you know, fucking Newport Beach all the way out in the desert. Maybe some Palm Desert action.

I'm looking at it. But also I'm afraid I'm going to get my ass kicked. I'm afraid you won't be able to figure out how to sign up. You just had to, it was like click here and you're like, got it. Dude, I'm so nervous about that. I don't know where I'm going to go stand. What? I don't know how it goes.

I don't, I've never done a tournament thing. What do you mean? I'm sure it's super chill, dude. It's pickleball. Like what, is somebody going to say like, sure, you're up next? Is that what they're going to say? What are the, how am I going to figure this out?

You'll sort it out. It's like when I go to swim meets as an adult man now, it's very weird. But you're just, you do it? I've done it. Yeah. I was going to sign up for one in a couple of weeks. Okay.

See sort of like doing a run. Yeah. I need to talk to you about what this is because I'm very. You just go and there's people. Oh, listen, there's people there like volunteers or whatever. They love to tell you what to do. They're like, are you signing up right here? Let me see your bags.

Okay. So you're purple bags. Wow. Okay. Money bags. Wow. First time. Welcome.

Yeah. Oh, wow. You're going to love it. Everybody's really friendly. That's what I want. I love your bag. Yeah. Okay.

All right. I've been here since midnight. All right. What? Well, they need to close this. I got here. I slept here. I slept here.

Do you want a granola bar? You're not talking to that woman over there. Yeah, we're here. She's not affiliated. That is actually a crazy woman who wandered over into the park. So we found her trying to fuck a drain in a pool last night. Crap. I'll give a special shout out to Ders, Kyle, and myself,

because we did this without Adam, who dropped out. Where the heck did that guy go? Oh, his computer died. Oh, what an excuse. And so did his relationship to us. Yeah. So epic slam on the man. He's on the chopping block.

A slam on him. And this went well. So I don't know. Maybe we're not asking him back next week. Yeah. I'm not mad at that. Yeah. It's kind of nice.

Yeah, I'd do it again with you. Oh, can we have you? So you'll have us? Or are you going to have us? You're going to have us because we'll have you. I'll be here. I'll be here, sir, as long as it keeps popping into my schedule book. I love it.

I'm not letting Blake. I'm not letting you wrap it up. Okay, then you do it. No, I don't want to. I'm just not letting you do it. What are you trying to do? He's like, yeah, okay. And, uh...

Frick, see ya. Okay, and ladies and gentlemen, this has been another episode of... The Vintage! The Vintage! The Vintage! The Vintage! The Vintage!

Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning,

and now we're sharing an all-new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972,

six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, 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.
