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

a terrible secret. I saw it in a folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom. Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeart Radio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically,

crucially important. Today on This Is Important, we found some naughty drawings on the floor, baby. Do you guys remember when I cut my fucking pants off and burned them there? Do you guys need any champagne? Because we got the hook up. If he's lightless, then he's not that tall. And here we go. And away we go, boys. Feeling good? Feeling great? Guys, whoa, whoa, whoa. Right before the pod, we had a total, well, over on this end, I had a total tech meltdown. Technical, technical. What happened? Talk to us. What happened? I would love to talk about it. The MPC. Kyle's foaming at the mouth.

Kyle loves tech issues and he is ready to tackle them. The geek squad. The tech boy is on the edge of his seat, ready to flop out of it. Talk to me, baby. So as my boarders know, I run the board through MPC Essentials. That's the program that I go through. Tech talk. Before we start the pod, I come on a little early, get the board ready. Oh, dude, I've heard you say, can I get board control? We're getting ready for the pod. I've heard you say that before. So that's true. That's a trademark board. It is true. He's not a born liar like we thought he was. No, I do tell some truths. Moving forward. I try to open up MPC Essentials and I got the longest

message of gobbledygoo over here. Numbers and letters and the fact of the matter is it did not open and there is a problem that needs to be reported. But you are so dumb. So no board or have you been downloading? I heart deep throat videos from LimeWire. I heart deep throat videos from LimeWire because when I had, remember when I had a Dell computer and I've told you guys this before, but I opened up my Dell. It had the skull and crossbones. That came up and then the whole screen went black from downloading LimeWire. So was it a LimeWire situation? I deep throat. I thought it might have been. Maybe I've just been like ripped. I've been really trying to watch 101 places to party before you die with John Gabriel on

truth. Just watch it on, watch it on Hulu. You can't. You could just watch that on television. Yeah, you can. I watch it on Hulu. Really? Yeah. It says you have to watch it live. I've been having the hardest time watching that show. I'm like, true TV, putting the clamps down. So I had to go dark wet. You're all good, bro. I dream I saw Gabriel and I woke up and I was like, I got to watch that show. I had a dream that I was asking him how it's doing. It definitely seems like a fun show to do. Yeah, I'm jealous that we're not doing that show. It seems super fun. Oh my God. Let's do 102 places. Yeah, we'll do 102. That's just one more place. Whoa. What's up now, Adam Pally? I had a dream I saw Gabriel at Comic Con. We did. That was a true

dream. Why is Gabriel in all our dreams? Oh, we were at Comic Con. No, we saw him. I fucked Gabriel in my dream last night. Guys, you didn't let me complete my soundboard story. Tech talk. I know we're working our way there, but are we all having Gabriel's dreams? We saw Gabriel's. That was not a dream. That was real life. We saw it. But it felt like a dream because it was so good. Totally forgot. Anytime you see Gabriel's, it's like a dream. That guy's just the great energy. God, I love that, dude. Love that, dude. Thank you, God. Well, anyways, so we were rescued by Todd because he pointed me in the direction that, you know, the Border Patrol, the board teenagers, they have made a soundboard on 101soundboards.com and I am currently using that website.

101 soundboards to use before you die? Yes. So that's our spinoff show. How do we just quaze over that? So can I get a yes points? Hot, hot, hot, hot. Let me see if I could find points on this thing. It's kind of a point and click thing. It's kind of like those old like e-bombs, soundboards where you like would prank call people and stuff. Oh, like the Arnold call when you would be like, hello. Yeah. Thank you, God. Yeah, baby. Do you remember the first time we met, Gabriel? It was at an MTV Music Awards. Okay. And we, I believe it was the same day that we, they gave us the shittiest seats. It was like after season one, or maybe two of workaholics, and they gave us the worst seats and they sat us like in the 300 section. Where was this? We were

way the fuck up in the rafters. It was the MTV Music Awards. And then we just walked, we were like kind of pissed at our seats, and we're like, let's just go get drunk. So we go to the bar outside, Gabriel's is out there, where we meet him for the first time. That was him. We pound vodka sodas. Cause was he guy code at that point? Guy code insurance? No, guy code doing the guy code show on MTV. Oh, I know nothing about that. I think it might have been right before. Do you remember he came up to us and it was me and Derz. I remember specifically really chopping him up, and he came out to us and was like, Hey, I'm new in town. I'm a big fan. And then he was just kind of a cool dude. So we just drank with him for like an hour. Right. And by the way, if you say

that's Adam, anywhere, anybody out there, you say that's Adam, party with you all night. So party with you all night. Dude, I remember this, Adam. Do you? Do you? I think I got, I, we went and then we walked up, right? And we took champagne from the. Yes. And then we, we were like, well, let's just walk and see how close to the stage we can get until they kick us out. Act walk with confidence. Right. So we walked all the way. People just were like, workaholics was still new that they were like, Oh yeah, those guys. Okay. And we walked all the way to the front. We see Kanye West in the front row. And we're like, okay, find a seat, find a seat. And then sit down, sit down. We sat down right behind, like foster the people. And they

won, they won. Gosh, you have a great memory. This is great. This is crazy. Because we ruined their shot. They won like best new artists. And they're like showing them in the audience. And then it's me and Ders looking blackout drunk right behind them. Yes, we got to pull that out. Somebody unearthed that photo. The guy who's handing out the champagne was like a fan of ours. And we're like, keep the, and I guess they give champagne to the first few rows because Kanye needs champagne. And so we were like, keep them coming. So we're just holding like six goblets of champagne. It was like they were, it was like free pizza. But we were like, keep it coming, keep it coming. We're just pounding it. And do you have pizza?

And then it's a woman that's sitting next to us. I go, do you guys need any champagne? Because we got the hookup. And she goes, yeah. And then her husband says something to me. And she goes, do you know who my husband is? And I go, nope, seems like a pretty cool dude. And he goes, it's Philippe Dumont, who was the head of Viacom, the boss of everything, like winning the Titan of industry. And I go, very cool. And his friend is sitting next to him. And I go, are you a Titan of industry as well? And he goes, I own Sprint. Right, right. It got real. And we're like, very cool. You guys want some? He has no idea who we were on his tense network. At that point in the night, I remember being like already out of the building, having been kicked out for smoking a cigarette.

Oh yeah. You were already hitting rage, Kyle. You started to already punch people's like rear rear mirrors. I remember getting out of there like in time. Because I was like, this is- We ended up having like a really cool night and Kyle decided to go fight a parked car somewhere. I made it home, but that was when I was getting out before the fucking steam exploded. You know, like I remember thinking like, oh, I got out just in time. That's a very public event. Well, I remember we were all a little butthurt and bummed at the seats that we were given. We're like- Nosebleeds. Like people were asking us why we were up there. Yeah. Workaholic fans were like looking back at us, being like, why are you way up there?

I remember that. It's crazy. And we're like, we don't know. We don't know. We don't know. Maybe because if they sat us next to the president of the company, we would fucking embarrass ourselves. I know exactly why we are where we are. Yes. There was a reason they knew why. And was that the same night that we jumped? I jumped on stage with Katy Perry and- Wait, what? Oh, yeah. We were- We went back behind the thing with like the press. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And then we just like ducked in there. Right. Right.

Yes. Because we knew Tyler the creator and he won- That's right. He won some awards. He must like new faces of comedy. I don't know. Not comedy. Maybe not. Maybe not that. Could not be that. Probably wasn't comedy. It was the music awards, bud. And then it was for all the press so they could take photos of people holding their trophies or whatnot. And it was right after, I think, Tyler and then Katy Perry's next.

And then I hop on stage going, oh, it's coming back out in October 12th or whatever the date was. Zero people took a photo. Nothing happened. And then they're like, just get off the stage. And I'm like, okay. And then I get off the stage. Katy Perry, who didn't even- It took 15 seconds for me to do all this, if not less time than that. The head of press for MTV called Isaac the next day. Our manager was like, Adam needs to apologize to Katy Perry. That's right. And Isaac's like, Adam's not apologizing to Katy Perry.

Right. What a G, by the way. Yeah, that was a terrible- Horrible business decision. Could have apologized. Could have been in her next video. I'm just so sorry. Adam, here's a perfect forum for you to- There's the president of MTV, Isaac's saying. No fucking way. Rage or die.

Hey, everybody turn it down. Everybody at home. We're going to turn ours down. Adam, we're going to give you the floor to give a private apology to Katy Perry. If everybody could just turn it down. Everybody, yes. Everybody just shut it down. Yeah, this is it. I just want to speak to Katy. I just would like to speak to Katy Perry. Calm down. I'm ducking out right now. I'm all the way down.

Okay. If you guys could just- I feel like you're still wearing your headphones. We are, like, they're muted. It feels like, well, okay. Our headphones are down. Oh, they are muted. Then how did you hear that? Your boobs are huge. Chill vibrations, though. I have to wear them. They're keeping my wig on.

We can still feel vibrations. I'm lip reading. I'm a pro lip reader. Yeah. Oh, okay. Dummy. Katy, I would like to take this opportunity probably more than a decade later to say how truly sorry I am that I was having the best time of my life and partying super hard and having a lot of fun. It seems like the MTV Music Awards doesn't like the amount of fun that we were having.

So, I would like to apologize for having as much fun as I and my friends usually have. So, sorry. I'm going to come back up here. Can we come back yet? Can we come back up? Yeah, this is a real tough- It's trying to keep coming. He's so good.

Please come back. It looks like your mouth has stopped moving. I was reading your lips and I was feeling the vibrations, and it felt like you were kind of apologizing for just nothing. So, I just want to make sure that I didn't miss something or like you actually did have a legit sincere apology in there because that's important. The thing about me being legit and sincere about that specific instance is I don't want to. Incense.

Because I incense is I don't want to because there was no one hurt. Katy Perry didn't care. She didn't even know I was on stage. It wasn't like I ran up and took her award from her and like ruined her moment. I think she had just stepped down and you went like in the betweens. She was up next. I do remember that. Right, right, right.

Because we were standing right next to her and I cut in front of her. You did cut. So, you could just take it back and apologize for cutting at the very least. That's the only thing that it seems. A little toxic. Is this before Kanye did it? I'm going to say a little toxic. Hey, this is my toxic masculinity and also my privilege talking.

I'm giving you a chance to correct that. I did do that and I think 10 years later it makes a really fun segment on our podcast. Oh, it does, it does. So, kind of worth it. It kind of came out in the sauce for us. Absolutely, absolutely. No regrets, no regrets. No regrets, no regrets.

Hey, let it be known. It came out in the sauce. You didn't know that old phrase, that old adage. This actually came out in the sauce for us. Dude, those come out in sauce. It came out in the sauce, baby. No regrets. Okay.

Hey, Katie, you're just part of the friendship sauce over here, baby. Is she still with Orlando Bloom? It came out in the sauce. Oh, they were an item. What? Okay. Oh, my God. Sipping team.

Well, I just remember we were all in New York and we went to like some little hole in the wall bar. Oh, yeah. I like this. And we turn around and we see him and he just is like. He just like winked at us. Yeah. It was like, fuck yeah, dude, hell yeah. Orlando Bloom winked at us.

And it was like a bar where there was like literally like six people in their total. And we were four of them. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. The point and wink definitely just means I'm not going to say anything to you. Yeah, yeah. He said all he needed to say. Stay the fuck away. I think we were like, oh, maybe he recognizes workaholics or something.

I wonder if he's a fan. But for sure, in hindsight, that meant. Stay the fuck away. Keep your distance. I know you know who I am. Stay the fuck away. Exactly. I'm pointing.

This point right here is a wall. Okay. So just don't come past where this point made a wall. That motherfucker put up a doctor strange spell. I know that you know who I am. Stay the fuck away. This is my solo verse. You're not allowed in.

Okay. This is my only verse. You guys are. I think he wanted us to come over. You think? That was a pimp beckoning. I think you guys are making Orlando Bloom sound like he's not a fun guy. I think by all accounts.

He's a raging. No, I'm saying we're not fun guys. Oh, I think we might be too fun of guys. He didn't want to kick it with us. I think it was the type of place, if I remember, that you go, you have a glass of wine. And we rolled in a tornado. And I think our energy. We were treating it like a Dave and Busters.

Yeah. Sure. Well, that's the question. Yeah. If Orlando Bloom listens to the pod, then he wanted you to come over. That's the question right now. Anybody who knows Bloom. Hey, Derser, do you like to say anything to Orlando Bloom?

Because we could all turn our headsets down and you could have a one-on-one. Sure. Yeah. Notice me, Senpai. Okay. Notice me. Yo, OB, my man, that winked that night. What did that mean?

That mean, keep your fucking distance or was it yo? I'm buying a round because we did about face and just leave. And I feel bad about that now. We probably maybe broke your confidence for the night, ruined you for a year maybe. I hope you bounce back. Can we come back now? That was really. Can we come back?

Because I was, can we come back? I was listening. I just was. Can you hear me? Can you see me? We can see. I didn't know that you were about face. You didn't even give the wink a shot.

So this is really a. What? You took off after the wink. Like immediately you were like, please. Well, he was like the only person in the pod. I mean, when Orlando Bloom winks at you, you get a little scared. So it is a wall. No, it's intimidating to be like, really?

Us? Didn't Orlando Bloom fight Justin Bieber? Yeah, that was cool. Did he? That was like a cool. Yeah, he like smacked Justin Bieber in a club. What? Yeah.

Yeah, look it up. Orlando Bloom? Orlando Bloom. He swang on the beat. That's cool, right? I mean, yeah. Are we two teams? I guess we're two teams.

Yeah. I mean, anytime people fight, it's cool. It's way cool. Yes. Fighting is super cool. What the hell? I wonder what was that? What, what that was about?

It was, it was like, it's cool because if like, if one of us fought Justin Bieber, it'd be like, well, what are you doing? Like, you have no reason to really fight Justin Bieber. With Orlando Bloom, it was like over a girl. Or like, who's the hottest guy in the room? Are you even sure? Are you even sure that this happened out of? This is, I don't have the allegedly button on 101soundboards.com.

Kyle, my memory's on point today. I don't know what's happening, but my memory is on point. Your memory came back? Every memory came back. Yeah, my memory fight. My Snapchat memory is no longer. Whoa. Maybe it's because he stopped drinking for two weeks.

I mean, honestly, I did get really drunk the other day for the first time. And man, it really came, it really hit me hard. Yep. Here it is. It's a bagel. Here it is. Anyway. Here it is.

Orlando Bloom throws punch at Justin Bieber. That's so real. 2014. Wow. Wait, July 20th, hold on, hold on. This is important stuff, baby. July 29th. Topical.

July 29th. What is today? Okay. Is today the 29th? We just won't let it rest. It's the 31st. It's 31st, so it's. Ah, shoot.

And this podcast will air mid-August. Ah, shoot. I thought I was going to find something connected. Shoot. Yeah, but pretty close. I'm pissed now. Ah, bummer. So wait.

So great memory. Are we talking about how maybe I stopped drinking for two weeks and all my memories came flooding back? That's pretty good. Are you back to drinking right now? I think I missed this. Are you back to drinking or are you still off the sauce? Yeah, I got drunk on Friday.

But then I'm not drinking as much. I'm really just trying to get skinnier. I've got pretty fat there for a minute. So I'm not trying to. Me too. And guess what? I'm getting skinny. Nice, dude.

It's coming off. I can tell your face is looking a little thinner. Thank you. Hot stuff. What's the secret? Let's tell everybody the secret, guys. You just got to watch what you eat, man. Yeah, eat less food.

Eat when you're fucking hungry. Secret out. Eat less food. It's portion control, dude. Like, and it's like, what do you put in? And so, yeah, I'm down. I can put on those teenage pants that you gave me, Blake. I put those on this morning for tie-dye.

Well, he gave you child pants? No, no. His brand of clothing. The brand. Teenage. Come on, man. Board teenage. Teenager.

What is it called? I know. It's setting you guys up to hype it. Teenage. Yeah. Thank you for that. Yeah, I put them on. The tie-dye pants from like 2020.

I can put them on now. Oh, my God. Nice, dude. Well, from just a couple years ago? Yeah. I thought you were going to say like 2012. Yeah, I thought you were going to say like a decade ago or something. Hi, I'm David Eagleman.

I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University, and I've spent my career exploring the three-pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities. Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident? Or can we create new senses for humans? Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet?

So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception, and your reality. Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret.

I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me. Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 fan. This child was laying on the side of the road. It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother.

That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people. I thought that they would catch him. I thought it was just a matter of time. Is it possible that the killer is still alive? Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you guys want to know, have I actually told you what my graph is for weight? It was like in 2020. Let's let the fans draw what they think the graph is.

In 2020. Slide into Kyle's DMs and post your graphs. Kyle, betrayed me. I got down to 210 over the pandemic and then that winter. And is that big or small for you? Is it big or small? That's small for me. That's small for me.

Okay. That's small. Okay. That was like the smallest I had been since P90X basically. Oh my god. In P90X you had to be like 180. No, I got down just below like 200 and that was it. Okay.

You were like a coat hanger though. Yeah, you were so thin. You were real thin. You were meddling. I'm a thick gentleman by nature. Like my bones are very thick. Freaking nature. So anyways, okay.

This is the big graph part though from fucking 207 in 2020 to 2021, January 267. Jesus Christ, you put on 60 pounds in a year? Yeah. And that was, you were one of the sad people during the pandemic that ate their feelings away. Is that what happened? This is when I was in Toronto. I was working and I had to quarantine.

Those are long days. I had to quarantine. It was cold. It was impossible to work out. I believe you had a rowing machine with some clothes hanging on it. It wasn't big enough for me. Yeah, you had a rowing machine but you chose to make that a chip rack. It wasn't big enough.

A chip rack. You were drying your clothes and you were... You have a chip rack? You had that. We remember seeing your little recumbent in the back or whatever and there were chips all over it. Oh yeah, no. Wait, are you trying to say that the row machine was too small for you? Yes, it was.

Yes, it was. That's correct. Real. Is it not? It's not real. No, that is not real. I'm still going to send it. Okay, well then I retract my previous statement, your honor.

I mean, you might have gotten a shitty one that was too small but just get the nice one because you can. Yeah, which is our... What's our sponsor? Let's go ahead and... Like get a concept too. That's what we're talking about here. Get a concept too. Concept too.

That's the one... You got water in it? The water in it. Well, you can get the Ergata water rower. Those are fucking cool. Those are super nice but the concept twos are like 800 bucks or something. They're great. So yeah, okay, cool.

I'm in. I'm ready to rock. A drop in the bucket for a guy who's friends with Jennifer Aniston. Thank you very much. And Orlando Bloom. Thank you. And Bloom. He's a bloom boy.

By the way, Orlando Bloom and Bieber fighting. Like we got Bloom, right? He's Australian. Well, yeah, I'm like reading the team. Oh, and like a real fight between them. You got to go Bloom. The Reach. I think the Reach.

He's also... He's Legolas. Older. Is he that big? I thought he was small. He's fucking Legolas. He is Legolas. Taller than Bieber by long.

If he's Legolas, then he's not that tall. He's a no. No points. Oh, he is. That was really good. Wow. I want to... Anders, that was great.

No, he's taller than Bieber. Bieber's like shorter than I am, I want to say. Or at least my size in real tiny. Right. That's fine. Do you hear that? Yes, he is. I feel like I could fight Justin Bieber.

I feel like all of us have. Oh, yeah, for sure. God. I see that. I see that for us. Yes. What, we can beat him? Yeah.

I feel like he's done some training. Doesn't matter. Doesn't he have enough weight? Yeah, he weighs 130 pounds. Does weight really matter that much in a fight? Yes, it does. Bieber's 5'9", Adam, you still got that? Kyle would destroy me just because he would lay on top of me

and there's nothing I could do. He would just melt over you like a blob. I'm losing. I'm losing my weight to do that. That is true. Yeah, I might have a shot. I'm dripping it off. I'm dripping it.

The koala clutch. I might have to koala clutch you. Is it just the eating or is pickleball contributing to this weight loss? Oh, you mean this? He's wearing a shirt, everybody. I don't always play pickleball. Oh, wait. Yes, I do.

Do you not take that shirt off? Or what? Because we've all seen the post from Comic-Con. Yo, straight from the red carpet to the jammies, baby. Nice. I wore it on the red carpet and then it became pajamas. That's it. Then it became pajamas.

Can't wait for that thing to lose its sleeves. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yes, it walk us through a little bit of Comic-Con. I'm a little jealous. A little blood hurt that I wasn't invited because I did have some time off of work and I could have came to Comic-Con. No one even told me Comic-Con was happening.

Well. I don't even know Comic-Con was currently underway until I saw photos of you guys there. Um, yes. You're sorry? Sorry? It's not on you. It's on Isaac.

It is on Isaac. Okay, okay. Yeah, no, Comic-Con. Dude, Comic-Con was fun this year. Comic-Con was back. It's back, baby. It's back. Yeah, it feels like it looked way fun.

Is this the first one since the pandemic or did it last year, Papa? I don't know. I don't know what happened last year. I think this is the first one back. Yeah, okay. So great. And that energy was going through the con, baby.

Oh yeah, it was electric. Any fun, uh, did... Any take-backs? I mean, it seemed like a little more of an adult Comic-Con. I didn't see Blake getting taken out of anywhere. Where's adult Con? Well, Blake, Blake, Blake. It's went to adult Con by accident.

Yeah, it really accidentally went to adult Con. Dude, it was on this year. It was like, there were chicks everywhere just up in crazy costume. They called it Adult Expo. It was crazy. It was very much better. It was actually way different than Comic-Con.

It's back, though. You know what I mean? It's back. Like, the floor had a whole different energy. So, like, I was reading, like, Japanese hentai, I guess, is like huge now in the comic book. Yeah, it was crazy. Dude, yeah.

Like, the cosplay was different this year. Yeah, it was fine. More graphic, I would say. Oh, Blake, Blake. Do you remember that tub of, like, sick-ass drawings we found that were real porno? We found some naughty drawings on the floor, maybe. I found a naughty drawing by...

What was it? It was Kevin... It looked like it was by Kevin Eastman, and I didn't buy it. It was like this naked chick drawn by Kevin Eastman. And it was, like, one of a kind. Yeah, you should have bought that and put that up in your house. Which chick?

No, it was like, it was like his... It was like April O'Neill or something. Who was that? No, stop. Don't do that. Dude, it was real dirt. By the way, April O'Neill might have been an adult come, too. I don't know.

Anybody out there gets the double meaning. You love that, right? You love, you love Kevin Eastman. Don't you collect his stuff? I should have got it for you. Fuck! Oh, I got some Eastman stuff for sure. I've actually, um...

Fuck. I've been on this Zoom meeting with Eastman about some projects. Really? It's good. There we go. Oh, good guy. I like that.

Had a new project. I don't know what happened. But, uh, yeah. Dude, Eastman and Laird? Yeah. Legends in the game. Yeah, Eastman and Laird created Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is really the thing that Blake and I,

when we were walking the floor, we stopped at every turtle different iteration of it. Yeah, they were well represented. They had some cool, like, new toys that were coming out. It was sick. Were they playing the one that we voiced or no? No. No, no, none of that.

Huh. Everything but that. Has anybody ever watched that? I saw it once. I haven't seen it. Where can we see that? I feel like it was the guy who created, like, Invader Zim. Was it?

Is he the person that animated our cartoon? We, like, were working with the... Adam, stop drinking for two more days so we can find this out, please. We were working with, like, a legendary, uh, animator. And they... We got to voice the Ninja Turtles for, like, one scene. And it was kind of sick.

Yeah, it was like a series of different artists doing different iterations of... Right. Oh, I saw that the other day on something online. Somebody made, like, a compilation and I saw Adam doing Raph. I was rude Raph. Yeah.

Yeah. And then who was... I was Michelangelo. Or you Michelangelo, that's right. And I was not Donatello. No, you weren't. Well, who the fuck was Donatello? I don't think Donatello was in it.

It was Raph versus Michelangelo. It was like we were going head to head. Is that correct? Like a sparring thing? Yeah, it was a little sparring match and you were getting pissed off. And was some... Okay.

I think some other guy did Donatello. Yeah, the dude who does Splinter, I think. He does Hella Voices. Yeah. We saw him at Comic-Con. Yeah, he just rips. So he does... Like, he's the official voice of, like, Bugs Bunny now, I think.

Oh, is he? That's the same guy? Oh, are you talking Eric Bauza? Yeah. Pat Butt. Pat Buttrim. We're back! Is it Eric Bauza?

Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Eric Rox. He was... When I did that cartoon, Uncle Grandpa, when I was a piece of pizza, when I was pizza Steve!

There he is. He was... He did a bunch of different voices on the show. Yes. Dude, we ran into him at Comic-Con. Kyle, were you with me or was I just with Nuge? But I was pretty hammered and he just started rattling off voices and I was like...

What? When? It was like... The night that you were DJing or... Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I was with Matt and Kristen on that night. Yeah, we ran into him on the street

and he will just go off for, like, 10 minutes just doing every cartoon voice and he's the actual guy. Oh, that's fucking awesome. Yeah, yeah. He's very, very, very talented. Wow, that... I'm pretty good too, actually.

You're very talented. I don't know about you, but I think I'm pretty good. Can you do this? Oh, wait. Everyone can do this. Did you get into it with him? Yeah, I kept that. Did you get into it?

So, are there any... What did you do that was a little out of pocket? These are the stories that I want to hear. Did you do anything that your mother will be disappointed in you for? Give me a hell, yeah. You know what we did a lot of? Was talking about the times

that our mother would be disappointed. Yeah, dude. There was a lot of... A lot of remember how crazy we once were. Now we're old men. Now we're just drinking Medellos. I was telling... Can I...

Let me just... Because they were saying we're going to do Hall H, right? Which is the big ass Hall at Comic Con. That's what Shatterz did. That's what I was there to do was the panel basically and a couple parties. Mumble brag. Very cool.

And I kept... That's good. And I kept saying to them, the last time I did Hall H, we got kicked out of Comic Con. That's true. Like, I kept saying that... Wait, did we have Hall H?

So, here's the thing. Kristen Shaw was like, you did Hall H as workaholics. And I was like, yeah, you didn't know how fucking huge we were back in 2012, 2013. And she goes, no. Right. And she was like, you were marveling at that.

And I'm like, yeah, I think so. And even that night, I'm like... I Google workaholics Hall H and a video comes up. So, I'm like, okay, we were at Hall H. And so, I'm still telling the story to all the Shatterz people and whatnot. And then on Sunday, we go to Hall H. And they're like, do you want to take a look at the crowd?

And we all walk over there and take a peek. 7,500 people deep. I turn to everybody and I'm like, we didn't do Hall H. No. We didn't do that. We did some kind of a big... We did a big hall, though. I remember there being like...

It was a big hall. 5,000. There are 2,000 people, right? I thought it was more than that. I thought it was like several thousand. I think it was two or 3,000. I had 2,000 in my mind. And then when I saw Hall H, yeah, there's a lot of people.

I thought that that was the biggest you could have done. I really thought that. But then when I got to Hall H and saw that shit, I was like, wow. Yeah, that video you posted, I was like, god damn. Goddamn. That's a lot of peeps, dude. Not for me.

So many people, man. Derz performs like that every night. So I don't expect him to be impressed. Yeah, it was 5,000. And it was next door to the convention center at the Hilton Isaac R. Manager. I thought it was about 5,000. What? The one that we did?

What? No. I thought it was... Oh, no, because we did take some weird subterranean golf cart. Well, yeah, those are the banquet rooms. I think it was a ballroom or a banquet room. And then Hall H's. I remember it being... The massive mass.

Very big. And Isaac is saying 5,000. And that seems... But then we weren't allowed to do it again. Yes. Well, dude, when I... I mean, I'm not trying to discount it. I just thought that that was that.

When I watched the video again, I was like, dude, there was a fuck ton of people. And the story is so good that it's like, yeah, we were too rowdy. We weren't even that rowdy. It was just right at the end. It was the people. We threw water at people. It was the people.

The people were smoking weed. It wasn't us. It was the fans. They came in and they were smoking weed. They were pissing in the corner. It's your fault, fans. They were drunk. Pissing in the corner.

Yes, that was like the main... Would you want it any other way? Yeah. Are you serious? Any other way. That's exactly how I wanted our fans to react. Yeah. Legend.

Oh, yeah. I did the same thing at the entertainment weekly party that night. What? That's not a bad thing. Oh, God. The EW party, baby. That's right. But yeah, no, we weren't rowdy. They were.

It's funny because you tell the story and you watch a video and you're like, these guys are just singing a song about best friends and wow it out. Like, there's nothing really crazy about this. But in a Comic-Con forum, when you're just sitting there and you're just like answering questions and it's very tame, it is a little rowdy. That's just lame.

It is. Yeah. Well, it was rowdy. It was fun. And then we threw out a bunch of t-shirts and they stormed the stage and they were acting as if someone was going to get trampled today. Like, they were. Right.

It wasn't. Wasn't it the same year that the dude got stabbed with a pencil? No, I think it was like the year after or something. So that's why they were. I thought it was the same year. That's what Blake and I were talking about. Oh, really? That was in the air.

Somebody had just got stabbed with a fucking pencil at a Harry Potter or something or whatever. And it was like, oh, well, we're all going to die. Let's go. Yeah. We're like, burn it to the ground. The ripping and the tearing. Yeah.

I'm playing best friends. 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.

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

to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning. And now we're sharing an all-new story of Betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home.

What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like, oh my god, I got to get out of the house. He's going to find out that I've seen this. He's going to come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We weren't, and then we weren't even allowed to do it again. I'm like, we didn't even do it for real. We did because we did it twice. Yeah, those were sanctioned.

Those were sanctioned. We always kept going, but outside of Comic Con. Yeah, oh yeah. But that, yeah. It wasn't like at Comic Con. It was like at the place next door. So it's not really tied to Comic Con. It was just doing our own thing.

And during Comic Con. That's still what I'm doing. Yeah. That's still what bleeds up. Yeah. The Tom Green one was the 5,000 people. That was, I think it was, that was still with Comic Con. That was the one that they were like, okay, no more.

Sanctioned. Yeah. Yeah. But did Kent, did Kent, like MC one of ours before or no? I believe it was none other than- Or was that at TCAs or whatever? And guys, listening, you can tune out. Because now-

Right, right. Now we're just having our conference call about old Tom. Now we're just, now we're in the weeds. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's cool. That's fun that you guys had another Comic Con experience. Dude, it was dope. What are the highlights?

When we went to the EW party, I was like, oh, look at those, look at that fire. Yeah. Do you guys remember when I cut my fucking pants off and burned them there? Yeah. Layed them on there. I want that picture so bad.

I remember Blake going swimming. I have it. You have the picture? Yeah. You do? Yeah, I for sure have it. You do? Oh, let me get that, dude.

Oh, post that. Yeah, I got it. Oh, yeah, tag and post. Post. That's probably the most rock star picture of me in my entire life. Okay. You were in a band.

I'm sure you have something with a guitar in your hand. Well, I have some with instruments in my hand. No, like him burning pants at noon. No, opening up for Primus wasn't as rock stars. Him cutting his pants off at a Hollywood party. Well, let's not talk about the Primus experience. Why? What's wrong with that?

We got booed, bro. We got booed. Oh, my God. You got booed? Yeah, yeah. Yes. Do you don't remember that? Yo.

I don't know if you were there. Were you there, Adam? Yeah, I was there. You got booed? It was Adam booing. Yeah, I started this. I started the booze. Oh, my God.

That was, I mean, that was obvious to me. I got in front of everyone and I'm like, okay, okay, everybody boo. Everybody boo them when they come out. God, that'd be good. We, when, when in the set did the booze start? I bet it was after one of the songs. When we started playing the French stuff, dude.

It was the French stuff. Well, that makes sense. It was like nobody was into the soft. I actually thought that they would, I mean, Primus fucking rips. So obviously they're not going to like the soft French canada music. No, you guys needed to work on your set list a little bit.

Yeah, you got to play to your audience, brother. Your set list could have been built a little, a little differently for the Primus show. Well, that's Claypool, who's a buddy and, and front man of Primus came back after the show and told us, because we had another chance the next night to play. He said, Hey man, what the fuck are you doing, dude? And that's his voice.

Go ahead. We all just sat there. We were all so dejected and he just said, he's like, don't play the fucking French stuff. Just play the hard hitting stuff. That stuff's cool. Just shorten it up and play the hard hitting stuff and we'll get out of here.

At least he let you do another night. What if he was like, we're good. Dude, you're good. Thank you. I thought I was toast, bro. I was like, I never been booed that hard in my life. That can't be true. I always had a big old smile on my face because it was like,

yeah, I'm playing. They don't like this part. So when you were, when you were playing, did you hear the booze? Like what does that even do to what? Well, you're not quite sure what's happening because you hear the music louder and you're like, I think. You black out at your ear starting.

But then you just, you just see like very angry fans just screaming. You just see people. Dude, you're kind of like, oh, well, Primus has the whole thing where they're Primus' whole, it was, it was cryptic because Primus' whole thing, Primus sucks. Sure, yes. That was the thing. That's what people yell at Primus.

They're like, Primus sucks. So at first you're like, fucking hey, bro, badge of honor. Yeah, they think we suck too. So when you thought they were saying, shut the fuck up. Yeah. You guys are fucking terrible. They're like, no, you honestly do suck. I feel like we got in this slogan, boys.

Yeah. Then you catch the eyes of the angriest one. Dude, yeah. Yeah, fuck that. We will. Fucking end yourself. Oh, God, I'm, I'm schvitzing. We got to make, uh, this is important sucks merch.

Yeah, we do. Man, shut up, bitch. Shut up, bitch. Hey, he listens to the podcast. Dude, and I had like, we had like 12 people on stage. So it was not a small operation. It was like a very big operation. Oh my God.

Did you have one person just dancing? Dang, you were like a mighty, mighty Boston. Yeah. Just like somebody that dances. Well, I remember when you guys opened up, uh, before my standup special. Oh, that was the first time we played the will turn. Yeah.

And you guys, uh, crush that. The fans were very pumped that, uh, to see you out there opening up. It's, it's all relative, you know, it's all kind of like who's coming out afterwards. Okay, this isn't, you know, Primus. We didn't fit. We didn't fit for them, but we fit for you.

Fans of music won't like it. Yeah. Music fans, maybe comedy fans will like your music, but not, not music fans. So be like, yeah, this is hilarious. I mean, that makes total sense, you know, but. Yeah. You got to realize Les Claypool is one of the greatest

bases of all time. Like they want to hear something. I want to, I want to. Oh yeah. And we got a great bassist, but the French stuff isn't fucking showing them off. Yeah. The French stuff isn't as bass heavy.

That's a real, real soft album right there, baby. Do you think, do you think we will ever get to have, like maybe the wizards open up for Primus? That could be kind of cool. I mean. Get them out there. I would love, I think, I don't know if that would. Well, it might fly as like a novelty thing,

but then I don't know if the hip hop nature of the wizards. Sure. Would, would fully cross over. Adam, the key is, the key is don't think about it. Just get on stage. No, absolutely. I'll do it. I don't, I don't care.

I, I, I don't mind being booed. I love it. Whoever the audience is, try it. It's kind of a jolt to the, the old nervous system. You're like, ooh, that's, that's a, that's a fun feeling. What if we do kind of like a, kind of like Jay-Z on plug style and we go like wizards, we, we, what we call them through the magic of a crystal ball.

And we ask them. Yes. We conjure them. Yeah. Cause you were like, we do it. And I was like, I'm not doing that. What if we ask them to do like. No, we have to open the realm.

Those are just big shoes to build. Yes. We open up a portal. We, we kind of, you know, throw it out there that they do a set with a live band. Yep. That's going to be a lot of work, big operation. Yeah.

Tech boy can handle that. Tech boy. I'm down. That's kind of cool. Hey, Kyle, what happened to the wizards on Spotify? We started to talk a little bit about this right before. I get messaged almost every day. It's crazy.

Dude. First of all, I didn't know anyone truly still listens to the album often enough that I'd be getting this many DMs about the wizards album not being on Spotify. But evidently people, people love purple magic. And it's been a while since I've seen a check on that. But yeah.

Go ahead, Kyle. I know. I know, bros. Karen. No, Toby hit me up and. Okay. Old Toby. Old Toby.

Old Toby hit me up and I guess there's some kind of a fucking spell that's been cast on these enchantments. Okay. Like, like what the purple magic is is just, it's a little bit too powerful for this world. So some sorcerer on this side of the portal has taken it down. Uh-huh. Okay.

Ann is scraping, Ann is scraping all the dough. I love that. That if like we truly were like making tons of money on the wizards and we like came to Kyle like, yo, bro, we're not getting paid. And he's like, well, here's the deal. The enchantment. I did, I did talk to old Toby. And we can't break through.

It's tough. It's tough. This guy, this fucking. Hey, I haven't been in the other realm for a while. Okay. Right. Yes. Of course.

The other round. So, okay, Kyle. I mean, yeah, that definitely all makes sense. That makes sense. But is there a way to reverse these enchantments and have it go back on Spotify? Is there a way to reverse the curse? That's, oh my God. Okay.

Yeah. Like I haven't been working on this. Is there some kind of illusionist lawyer that we could talk to? Of course. That's what I'm trying to do. There's a play chain. And if you don't know what the wizards are, I would say go on Spotify and listen to Purple Magic,

but you no longer can. But it is our. I think it's Apple Music. I think it's still on Apple Music. Is it? No, I don't think it is. I don't think it is. Okay.

And then you can also go on YouTube and we have a bunch of videos and stuff that you can watch, which the videos are great. Videos are better. Those slaps. Yeah. Yes. Those sell the idea. Bro, thank God they haven't found those yet.

But check it out. It's a bunch of wizards that kind of look like us that are from another realm that are hip hop rapping wizards that are. For whatever reason, they can't crack the YouTube. So that's still up there. But the source of it. Guys, all there is on Apple Music is The Wizards Purple Magic by Breezy247. So I don't know.

Ooh, the hell is Breezy247? And can we get an infringement case? He's been on our Kool-Aid. I mean, can we talk to our guys about that? I think he's kind of just riding that sick wave of The Wizards Purple Magic. Can you imagine? He thought he was on some shit. And then The Wizards really haven't done shit about it for years.

Yeah, he got it. No, they've been engaged in battle behind the scenes. I guess I'll kick off takebacks. And I want to say, I want to take back the fact that we've lost contact with The Wizards over the years. And I feel kind of bad about that. So I apologize. I'm the only liaison over here.

I'm the only liaison. I'm talking to him like every month trying to get this shit done. So I'm just like. So you are working on trying to convince Old Toby to battle the rights of Sorcerer. I'm not even trying to convince him. Everybody's on the same page. We just can't figure out the fucking spell, dude. Okay.

Oh, wow. Like, what is Lamal doing? Is Lamal fine? Is he doing well? Lamal works hard. He's working hard. What about Bulldozers? Is he kicking around?

Bulldozers just cruising. He's smoking a lot of weed, drinking a lot of booze. Oh, nice. Okay. This guy's cool. Yeah. He's cool. He's all right, though.

And did you tap in with Young Zeld? Is he all right? Young Zeld is tapped in. He's got his sword out. Okay, cool, brother. He's, uh. Yeah. Is Lamal down at the marina still?

Is he still down at the marina? That is. He's in the penthouse. He's in the penthouse. Dude, that is my favorite. One of my favorite lines from The Wizards. Still got the penthouse, bro. Because Chloe actually really likes Purple Magic,

and she will ask me to play Purple Magic. The album or just generally? The album. Purple Magic. The album. And that is one of my favorite lines out of any of the songs was, I used to run Pangea. Now I got a penthouse at the marina, which is like,

it was like a brag. He was like bragging that he used to run Pangea. But it happened close. The whole rap is about how things change over time. And how old you live a long life. Like, uh, you know, he used to run Pangea when he was a young guy. Now he's got a penthouse at the marina.

Yeah, he used to run the entire world. Now he's got like a pretty nice penthouse. It's fine. The enemies and flows. It comes and goes. That's true. Yes, that's the. I stand by it.

One of my favorite lines. That song is old as fuck. And it is such a wise song. God, it's beyond its years, man. Yes, it really is. And you know what, uh. What's up? I also owe an apology to you guys.

Uh-oh. Do tell. Uh-oh. I think two episodes in a row. When Kyle was saying asterisk. Okay. Oh, yeah. And I was clowning you saying asterisk.

Yup. Because it is like a plural sound, but it's actually asterisk. Yes. It's asterisk. Yes. Asterisk. So both of us were wrong. I was saying asterisk.

You were saying asterisk. Well, because I saw some comments of like four grown men don't know how to say that word. Asterisk. I've been saying asterisk my entire life. It's asterisk. Yeah. Asterisk.

I thought it was asterisk. I thought it was asterisk. We 1 million percent still have it wrong. But asterisk is like a French comic. And I think that's why I got confused. With the X at hand? Yeah. With the X.

Because that's super famous, uh, French comic. Asterisk. Yeah. They should play that crime as it goes off. It was, uh, two. If it's two asterisk, it's asterisk, which is fucking nuts, dude. Asterisk.

That is fucking nuts. That's dude, man. And this wasn't asterisk. I haven't done my comic. Real quick, I would like to give flowers to, I'd like to give flowers to Katy Perry. Hey, thanks for hanging in there those 15 seconds. You wanted us to turn down or something.

No, you guys could stay for this. Okay. Okay. Hang in there that 15 seconds while I was trying to hype our show, give people to watch. So thank you for, uh, for gifting me that time and not being super butthurt about it. Yeah.

And you guys are, you guys are in the same club. You guys have both hosted, or I guess she hosted the music awards. You hosted the movie awards. Yeah. They're still kind of a brother sister brotherhood, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Sibling hood. Sibling hood. I will, I'll give a compliment out there. I'll do that. Okay. Uh, I want to compliment Anders on his legless joke earlier that I think went right under the radar, but I wrote it down and I just wrote it down.

You wrote it down. Well, he said, how tall is he? And I said, Legolas. And he said, well, he's got no legs. He's not that tall. It was. Something a little cleaner. Yeah, a little cleaner.

Yeah. Of course. Of course it was. No, of course it was. Of course it was cleaner. Run it back. Todd, play it right now real quick. Thank you.

Who's Legolas? Is he that big? I thought he was small. He's fucking Legolas. He is Legolas. Taller than Bieber by a long time. If he's Legolas, then he's not that tall. He's an elf.

And we're back. Turns out not as clean. Yeah, it turns out not as good as we remember. Turns out also pretty bad. I would love to give it points. And this leads me to my shout out for 101soundboards.com for taking over when the board crapped out. But now, yeah, the sounds aren't playing now.

Yeah, I will say I didn't hear one sound the entire time we've been talking. Have you been through? No, he was blasting them early in the pod. Yeah, well, I heard a hated it. Maybe that's about the same thing. Hated it. That might have been Adam.

Yeah. Or that was the crowd at Primus. And your fucking deep restlessness of your brain. Oh, God, thank God. We got to go out on that. All right. And that's another episode. Episode.
