What are you eating there, dude? It's a bagel. This chewing is brought to you by Pro Meal Bar. Pro Bar Meal. Oh my god, you're such a hot boy now. You know those. Oh my god, you've changed. You've changed. Oh my god! I have. I have. I literally changed my shirt. Okay, cool. My favorite thing, if I am watching an old Workaholics episode, is to see us chewing food.
You know what I'm talking about? Like someone just flew around with like little half grilled cheeses or something. We're like, oh, let me get one of those real quick. And then like, uh, and action. And action. We're like, um, dude, we gotta go. We're still drunk or whatever the shit was. And you can see like, like tonguing food out of the back corners of our mouths. Like, all right, dude, let's go. I love how,
totally unprofessional like on any other set like no other set am I truly holding up sides and looking at it as they're going rolling and and then hiding it like underneath underneath your ass if you're sitting down which we did all the time on workaholics we're literally like looking at it looking at it well we had those drawers at in the cubicle motorboat me he'd be like
And then action. What was cool about our desk at the cubicle is you could just pull it open and hide so much shit in there. Snacks, sides. You'd have like four fucking fizzy waters in there. Like, did I? Oh, I got to just finish one of these. There was so much shit in our desk drawers. And there were metal drawers. So you'd put your phone in there and then every once in a while, I'd just be like. What?
And then you pretend like, oh, God, I'm so sorry, guys. Hang on. I'm so sorry. Yeah, this was Adam's ringtone. Adam, I think you got a text.
Oh my God. I think your mom just sexted you. You know what I was thinking the other day? Sexted me? Let me ask you guys a question. On a scale of one to ten, how serious are you about this? About this career? About what?
- About what? About this podcast or like? - No, no, no, no. About like acting. 'Cause I remember like basically this, basically this. - Goodbye. - Whatever set I'm on, almost regardless, I'm having a good time. - Yeah. - I'm never serious. - Having a good time. - I'm having as much fun as possible.
I'm not like taking it too seriously. I feel like you can still have fun and be serious about your career because I don't want to do anything else for the rest of my life. And I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that or fuck up that. I don't mean, I guess I don't, I don't mean like focused. I mean, like, haven't you been on set with people who are just like serious? Anthony Hopkins. Oh, taking it real.
way serious. Yeah, and I'm not like, and there's nothing wrong with that, but like, we're even doing like press, like the junket stuff where like you sit on a couch with a co-star for five hours. Oh my gosh. But we are, like if you watch our like press interviews, we were notoriously fucking terrible. Right, together we're a mess, but now that we've done it separately with other people, I've sat next to people who like
earnestly answer the questions about like their character and I'm like okay well see the thing is is and I'm like I'm glad that and they're getting Emmys and stuff and I'm like is that what it is you have to like really take it seriously you do have to play the game if you want to win Emmys because they won't just oh I wish Kyle was here to talk about it oh he's not playing the game well enough he's not playing the game well enough
Oh, yeah, the bench. I think you do have to play that game because it's the what who votes for the Emmys. It's like you have to be part of the Academy. Yeah, but it's not the Academy is the Academy Awards voted for me. Fucking take your shoes off podcast. Oh, me. What? Rick Glassman. Glassman sent me a screenshot being like, I got you, dog. I could vote for the Emmys.
Have you been nominated? I don't know. I'm not in it. You have to be asked. I think none of us have been asked. I know, but Rick Glassman votes. But he's been nominated. His show was nominated. What was the dateable? No, no, no. His new show. Where everyone has Asperger's. It's a great show. Love with Asperger's?
love on the spectrum no isn't that a show I feel like I saw that thumbnail okay whatever that's I mean by the way dope that's dope he's very funny as we see it as we see it and you should watch it it's on Amazon it's really really good and Rick is he's very funny phenomenal on it yeah
That's why I think he gets a vote. That's why. But well, well, now we are we getting into Emmy talk like five weeks later? Because I'm like, dude, like legitimately. OK, because I'm already gearing up for next year. Yeah, well, shout out to Kyle for getting there. That was sick.
I wish he won. He should have won. That show is very funny and what they pull off is dope. Oh, dude, I was jealous that you and Kyle went to that night before the Emmys party. That's always the coolest party. But I missed him. I missed him. You didn't see him there? What the fuck? Oh, man. He left early. Yeah, he went there, ate all the snacks and bails. I like every photo I saw of him that night. He's just eating soup. I'm like, what are you...
You go there, you get every little tiny snack. Which, admittedly, so do I. Those little fucking snacks they bring around. If you don't eat all the little snacks that they bring around, you're a fucking dummy. You're a fucking asshole. Fuck you. Then you're definitely the type of person who is really serious when you eat.
answer every question about your silly show. Here's a great behind the scenes of my life on whatever night that was, Sunday night. Yeah, give it to us. So I'm like, hey, Isaac, our manager, I haven't gotten any information about the car service to take me to the party tonight. And usually it's all set up. You get a car, they bring you, and that's your driver for the night. What did this bozo do? And he's like, that's weird.
Didn't RSVP for me. And I'm like, we got a sitter. Emma just got her hair blown out. I have a fucking suit hanging in my closet ready to go. She has a dress that she's ready to rock. I'm like, we have a dinner reservation beforehand. We're going out. Please figure this out. It's a whole night. Bro, we got...
several children it was touch it was touch and go for a little bit and then uh he made it happen so so you got in shout out to isaac or caa for actually making it happen because i think the same day shout out to your agents who actually made that that call burn the same day i texted isaac i'm like okay yeah i think i'll pull up i think i'll pull up and he's like list is closed and i'm like how would isaac ever know that
And then all of a sudden, so I texted Ders like, why didn't you, why didn't you just commit? If you were asked to go, why didn't you just commit? It's a, have you ever been to those parties? Maybe once. They're super fun. They're super fun. Everybody's there. And you end up knowing a bunch of people. Yeah. And then, and then there's always like people that you're like, oh, Larry David's right there or that. Yeah.
No, I've been to a couple. Or like, there's Jamie Foxx or whoever. I've been to a couple and they were actually like very fun and like you do like do a lot of good networking. That one I was like, oh man. And that's what it's all about for Blazer. Blake is the network king. No, dude.
I should be. I need to be. But like, like I was kind of like, oh, I won't know anybody there. But then I started to see like Sashir was there. Kyle was there. Ders was there. Like I should have just pulled up. Yo, it's our class now. I mean, I kind of go there and I'm like, I like all these people. I've met them. I've known them for 10 years now. I've worked with some of them or like admired most of them and like.
I walk away from it being like, this is like our class. This is cool. I like these people. But maybe we're the bad boys. No, that's right. That's a good way to look at it. Because I remember the first time I went, I think I was invited because, honestly, I think it was because of like Modern Family and shit. It was a bagel. And that was like probably like 10 years ago. Yeah. And like really early on. And I remember being like a little overwhelmed, like not really knowing a ton of people. Yeah. Yeah.
you know, kind of like cornering the two people I did know and be like, and we're best friends all night tonight. Yes. Right. That's what, that's the move though. It's always Joel McHale. It's always Joel McHale. And then the last couple of times I've been, I haven't got to go for the last few years cause I've been working, but it's, it's, it is cool. Cause you're like, Oh, I know all these fucking people. Yeah.
And they come around with little grilled cheeses and little sandwiches. Little tacos with like crazy little mango relishes on them. Yeah. Ceviche. I fucked up. I remember like going to... I'm not sure whose party it was. Hey, by the way, even if you had told Isaac that you wanted to go, he'd fuck it up anyway. So don't beat yourself up about it. I could have snuck in. I remember going to one where it was like, I think I just broed down super hard with Lilly Singh. Like we were just like...
taking shots together. It was like crazy. It was like, yo, we're like best friends forever. You just see people you never know. Well, that's what's cool about those parties is like, I remember it was like a WME, like our agency or my agency, a WME, uh,
party and it was just like me liam hemsworth and miguel the singer oh yeah yo miguel is our guy by the way yeah he loves this is coffee in the morning right and then we just oh no we're pounding shots you don't know that's and just had the best fucking time i think you were you were there right blakey you i think you were at that party yeah and miguel is like the guy he's actually super sick i fucks with him again yeah he's awesome coffee in the morning is that not the fucking jam
Oh, are we back on Bitchfork? Are we back to... Honestly, the most I know, Miguel, and I'm sorry, Miguel, if you're listening and you don't like to talk about it, is your viral video when you straight up leg drop that chick at your concert. Yes!
He tried to like jump from like stage to stage and straight up leg drop like Hulk Hogan leg drops a girl. What is a leg drop? Like you just laying on someone with your leg? When you lift your leg like that and just put it on them. Yeah. Like
On the back of their head. Pretty self-explanatory, I guess. Yeah. It looked like it hurt like a motherfucker. Let's play. Can you get a little Miguel coffee real quick? He weighs like 112 pounds. It didn't hurt that bad. The guy's a very slight man. By the way, if you're listening, just know this. If you meet Adam, he will put his arms around you, pick you up, and guess your weight. It's just a thing he does. It's endearing. You get too many tequila shots in me. That's not wrong.
Hey, you're about 50. Me and Lily Singh, we went off, bro. Another thing that I think that we did early on, which I'm glad we did it, but now I'm like, oh, we shouldn't be getting that drunk at these type of events, is we would always go to those type of events and be the drunkest people there. And be the last ones to leave, like,
closing it down, be like, what do you mean you're closing the bar? And they're like, well, you've been here for four hours. The bar is closing. It's the next day. Allegedly. No, dude, it's crazy. Like, even like, Durs, you like, you saw Lionel. Like, Lionel is like, kind of like a, he was kind of like deep cut, odd future dude, but now he's on the bear and like,
He's always been such a homie to me. He's like a great writer. He's put me like as a voice in all his cartoons. Like, so it's just sick. Like when you said you ran into him, I was like, damn dude, like I should have just pulled up. It would have been fucking cool. And he, by the way, I was some of like our generation. He's like the next generation. There's a bunch of young people there now. I was babysitting bro. All right. Bring the baby man. Throw him in the little papoose. Is that a word? Give me a hell yeah. Papoose is, that's just a rapper.
rapper Papoose Anderson who's bro deep cut deep cut bro so did you did you have funders funders
Did you have funders? Thunder, thunder, thunder. It was a good time. Wow. Saw a bunch of folks. Did you see 50 Cent? I got there right after that. Because that was what was super sick about that night. 50 Cent performed, right? Yeah, it was like Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent. Right, but so this party's usually sponsored by a few people who kind of throw it all together. And this year, 50 Cent was one of the sponsors. Okay. And so he performed, which was amazing. And I guess Snoop Dogg got up there with him. Did he perform Candy Shop?
I wasn't there, but I wish. Magic stick? That's Adam's favorite. I do love magic stick. It's a bagel. Did he bring out all of G-Unit? Yeah, I don't know. I'm sure it went off, but at this point, my manager was still trying to finagle it out. Scrambling. By the way, then I get there, and I'm like, this is how famous I'm not, because then I get there, and people are like, we were just next door and came in, and I was like, stop it! Okay, that worked out.
Don't worry about it. And is the Emmys... Time to check the star meter. When do they have the...
The big Netflix parties and the HBO will have a big party. The night of, like after the Emmys. Oh, so that is the Emmys as well. Is that right? Or is that like... I mean, I don't know. I guess FX had a party the night before the Emmys because that's where Kyle was at before he came over. And I believe Lionel too. Kyle, that fucking motherfucker. Where is that motherfucker? The seatbelt's still stuck, man. He's probably at a party. I want to hear his perspective of this. It was cool, man. You know, like...
Shut up, bitch. Oh, yeah, the bitch. Oh, man. He went to the Emmys, right? Yeah. Like, he pulled up. How come he didn't take any photos? No, he didn't pull up. He was invited. He went. He was wearing a tuxedo, you know. He didn't just pull up. Oh, man. Oh, man. By the way...
I know you guys are wondering, my show did lose. Inventing Anna did not win. We lost. Wait, you were nominated? Oh, I forgot you were in that. As a show. Inventing Anders. I'm going to be honest, Durs. I have not watched it, but I heard you're fantastic in it. Is that true? Have you been talking to my mom again? I'm living a nightmare. I'm in it. I'm in it. I'll tell you that much. I'm in it. You don't do much? No. We had a good time. I'm in a little bit of every episode.
Okay. You kind of drop in. I pop in. Admittedly, I watched the show. I did like it. I wanted more Ders. That was my big note. That's the sequel. We all do. That's the sequel. We all do. And I think TII Nation will agree. We want more Ders in everything we watch. And I'm glad that you were getting a little bit stuck in...
your roles were like the house husband that kept man. Yeah. Where you're just a cute. Which is wild. I like that. Well, because it's everyone's fantasy to keep this animal caged. A cute house husband. A little scruffy doing dishes, walking around, chopping up carrots.
You know, just do it. Beard is a little hairier on one side of his face than the other. Little patchy beard. You know he could shave that and get all sexy and good looking. May or may not have eyebrows for sure. Yeah, what's up with that, bro? The house husband.
I've gone from house husband to douchebag. Yeah, those are your two that you play really well. A kept man. Yes. Or...
Hey, you forgot your keys. You got it, dude. Yeah, what's up with that? Honey, you looking for these? All right, have a good day. God damn. Dude. Yes. What is up with that? See, and I don't want a different character for you. I just want more of that. Right. And don't forget, dinner's at 5 o'clock. 5.15. All you need to do, Durs, is play that exact same role, but then the twist is like... Don't you mean 5.30? Yeah.
The twist is that you're like a gimp or something. And you're like a weird... Like I've got weird shit. All you need to... Blake, pause. What do you think gimp means?
I'm saying like you wear the leather mask like Pulp Fiction Gimp. Bring out the Gimp. I know, but that's not what Gimp means. Gimp is what I am. A guy who's always limping, who's constantly hurting himself. I'm a Gimp. Sorry, I'm referencing Pulp Fiction. Bring out the Gimp. I'm saying like Ders is like that dude. Yeah, like he
He's the guy who's just like... You want me to be the gimp? Yeah, dude. And then all of a sudden, now we got a little edge to the character, don't we? We come home... Okay, so you're a kept man who... She's very kept. Super kept. Kept in a box. Like your wife
who works for a newspaper just has you chained to a bed, covers editor-in-chief. Oh, she's in a box. And Blake, wouldn't it be more of a turn if I was the nice guy who then goes to the basement and opens up the trunk and you're like, oh wow, he's a kept man so he's got to keep this person kept. It's a whole cycle. Yes, and now all of a sudden it's season three of you. And then the guy in the box, he has a ferret in a cage.
Dude, I'm down for that. Okay, so you're like, hey, I'm cutting carrots, honey. And then she, as soon as the door closes, you go to the basement and you're like, okay, you can
Now you plot your carrot. You can come out now. And this is a different show. I see that for Ders. I think, well, that is the sort of progression. He's like the house, he's been, after Workaholics, you were kind of the kept man, the house husband. Yes. I did some boyfriend work. Uh-huh. I was a fiance. Yeah, you did. And then you did like some kind of dickhead type roles. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
which you're great at. You're great at fucking crush at what's crazy. Didn't even know they were rolling. Didn't know they were rolling. Just a total natural at those. And then now I feel like you have to be, you think he's a kept man, a house husband, but then he ends up being a serial killer. I would watch that movie. Full thumb up the dick hole kind of guy. I would watch that movie.

What's weird is I feel like we all have to flip how people think of us, so like Adam's like, just like, you know, he's gonna be the, the, the, basically remake Fear. Remember how you pitched that? Yes, yes. You're basically Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. I still would like to do Fear. Yeah, that would be hilarious. He's like the, you're so hyped that the daughter is dating him and he just goes crazy. Yeah.
It becomes like the best meme ever. And then I would like to also, I would love to pitch myself as like, I'm kind of like a stoner, but I'm also keeping a gimp in the basement. Yeah.
I feel like I would love to see Blake like for real serious as like a wet haired white trash like small town pimp right who's like who's not even like a nice pimp he's kind of like an all business pimp and Sean Baker would direct it the guy that did the Florida Project exactly yes Red Rocket I feel like he could get something out of you which I never saw by the way that with Simon Rex
his movie where he was the ex-porn star, right? Red Rocket. I didn't see it. And I love Sean Baker. I think he's so fucking talented. Go watch it. Go watch it. Rex does Rex. Rex is like in there. I think we covered this, but like
everyone's like, oh my God, have you seen Simon Rex in this movie? And it's like, well, yeah. Have you seen any other Simon Rex movie? Like, this is the dude. He brings the goods. Yeah. It didn't even make it. Is that the next Academy Awards or was that the ones before? That was the last one. Last year. It didn't even make a peep. What do you mean? Didn't even make a peep. Well, he wasn't nominated for the Oscars, but he did win the Spirit Award. Yeah, what the fuck? Won it. Oh, wow. That's all I want. I want a Spirit Award. That's all I want. I want a Spirit Award. Really? That's my main award I want.
I don't want hell. I mean, I'll take any award, but I'm not like Jones. And for one, I'm not I'm not really gunning for any awards other than like if you win awards, that just means you're going to you're going to work longer. Right. Yeah. You're going to pop off bankable. You're going to get more work and probably a better caliber of offers because you just won. Yeah. If you don't win awards, you've got to do a podcast and you got really fucking just
go up bro yeah well said Blake you have to do a podcast and just go up yeah that is true that is how to navigate a career right into the thin blue yeah
Hey, so you have won any awards. So how are you going to navigate your career? I'm just going to go up, bro. Okay. All right. You heard it here first. And how are you going to do that? I'm just going to do a podcast and go up, bro. Yeah. All right. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Moving on. And next. Okay, next. Next on the red carpet. Armie Hammer. You can go. You can go. We're going to actually try and talk with Armie Hammer.
Really? We got to. It's either him or you. So your whole idea for your career is just to do a podcast and go up, bro. You know what? We're going to go talk to Army Hammer. Okay. Camera's off.
He's eating a plate of what appears to be slices of bacon? I don't know. What is that? I don't know. By the way, how about this experience on the red carpet where you're doing a legit publication, legit publication, getting interviewed, and then you're like, all right, Cleveland Tornado News? Sure. And you can tell that they don't have their shit together, but you're like, whatever. I'm here. I'll do it. Whatever.
Let's go. And then mid-interview, you just see them eyeballing another more famous person next to you, and they're like, wrap it the fuck up. And you're like, what? You're not going to get that guy. I'm doing you a favor, Cleveland Tornado News. Then you wrap it up, and then you watch the more famous person just pass them by, and they're like, I'm pissed now. One more thing, actually. So then, now you want me. Ah.
Tornado. Was there any like COVID weirdness or people are just off that? Oh, here. So this was Emma's observation. Is that there wasn't a gall Emma? Yeah. People are off it, but she was like, I don't think people know how to talk to her. I don't think people know how to talk to each other anymore.
Yeah, no, it fucked us up. What do you mean? Like people are different. And I, and as soon as she said it, I was like, yeah, people just seemed off their communication game. My conversations were weirder. Well, I think it's people who didn't leave LA because I, I've spent so much time in the South. It's been so normal down there. I don't, I don't know what you're basing that on because these are people in the industry who I'm guessing may or may not have,
left because that's nothing happens in LA anymore true sure sure well it's weird it's weird that they wouldn't know how to talk because I feel at least in Charleston it feels like things are just back to norm life back to reality life back to reality yeah I don't know it was a vibe that just was like yeah I wondered that because LA is it's a weird place now I still love LA I still love LA
But it, it, it definitely like the pandemic hit it in a way that it hit no other place. Maybe New York. Go ahead. Continue. I've yet to go back to New York. I don't even know what New York went through. Holy shit. I just think they took it more serious than any other place. And the,
residual effects of that like the like you're saying people don't know how to talk with each other it's just people don't know how to communicate all that weirdness that came from like not seeing people for all of 2020 and bleeding that into 2021 and on has made people socially awkward yeah yeah yeah
I don't know. Just a lot of your talking points are within the industry. So like the fact that like nothing was happening, maybe there's not much to talk about. I don't know. Those parties were – Yeah, and we're back. Yeah, but things have been happening for the last two years. I haven't been home for – I've been home a total of – this week I'm home for this week. This will be eight weeks since 2020. Naked grandma. So that's a naked grandma. Yeah.
But even like the when you get invites to these places, they still have notes that are like we're taking like covid protocol. Like it is still alive and strong in Los Angeles. Like it is not over. It's like insurance policy. It's just and it's like they're like, all right, we want to insure the party and then also like kind of show that we're still caring about the people who care.
um which is cute that's very cute yeah yeah it's weird it it is a little weird because i'm like so although i got a homie who got covid last week but did it fuck him up did he die did your friend by the way blake by the way blake what have you had and you just rolled into it like let's go right but did he die and i'm like
Yeah, but did he die? He did actually. I know. God, I don't even want to talk about COVID no more ever again. I just don't even want to mention it. I don't even want to see it in the email. I hated it. You can do what you want to do to feel safe. You can wear a mask. I'm not mad at it. I actually feel, you know how some people look at people with masks and they're like, what a fucking idiot. Like you can't get it outside. I've come to the- Yeah, I'm like that person rocks. I've come to the place where I'm like, I feel bad for anybody out there rocking a mask and
by themselves alone walking outside because I'm like, oh, they're like trapped by their own fears. Yeah. Yeah, you're miserable. Outside of people who are like genuinely have like a thing where like if they get COVID, they know they're fucked. Well, some people it's like you live with your grandparent or you have a grandparent. You live with your...
Naked grandma. Thank you. You live with your naked grandma or whatever, and they can't get COVID because they will die. You know what I mean? I didn't know naked grandma would be on. But you know who can get COVID is their... The board is dead. Who? The board is dead. I don't know. The board is dead. The board is dead, actually. Got COVID. Oh, my God. Put it on the ventilator. Right. But when I see people still super masked in a place where you don't need to, I'm kind of like...
bummer that you're that living in that fear. Yeah. Living in a nightmare. I'll just do it. Blake, don't worry about it. You're living in a nightmare. Uh,
That's how it kind of was when I was in Germany is people were so afraid to get like cast members and people that I'm there like producers and stuff were so afraid to get COVID that no one really wanted to go do anything. They didn't want to be that guy. Because they're like, well, we don't want to shut production. And I get it. I totally get it. But also I was being that guy. I mean, the show's called Bumper. I play Bumper. I'm in absolutely every scene. And I went out every.
Every weekend. And I was like, I might get COVID, and that is part of it. That's part of it now. Bumper was the thumper. You might get COVID. Ah, whatever. But I'm not going to not go have a life at this point two years in. I'm like, I'm going to go. Right. And then, by the way, you get COVID, and then you're in the clear for a few months. So production secretly is like, great, perfect, awesome.
Yeah, they're like, hey, the first week you get out here, go crazy because we're starting production in two weeks. Go to all the fucking weird nightclubs. Go to those nightclubs where people are just like fucking in the corner with wearing gimp masks or whatever Blake's secretly heard about. It's fucking a bunch of naked.
Grandma's. Naked. Oh, sorry, man. I was listening. Face fucking. Naked grandma. Well, that's cool. That's I mean, that's at least it wasn't like a full on mass event. But that that party is outside on that grassy area. It's outside on the grassy area.
It was good. It was good. Missed Fitty, but that would have been nice. Yeah, if you didn't see that, then I don't even really think you can consider yourself as going. Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't go. Yeah, you didn't go. You weren't there. Almost didn't. Almost didn't. Gotta check the star meter, see where I'm at. I don't know. That's how they let you in, is they look at your star meter. They're like, oh, okay. Right. 4,000. Hmm.
Was Armie Hammer there? And if you're listening now, there's something called the Star Meter on an app called IMDB Pro, where essentially, and I don't know how they do it, but they rank you from one to whatever the fucking thousands of people there are in this business. Yeah.
And if you're like number one on the star meter... Who is? I don't know who it is right now, but if The Rock just had a movie come out, it's The Rock. It's always a female for whatever reason. I think... Okay. Okay. I mean, not always, but it usually is. I think it's because dudes be horny. Well, we don't know the... I don't know why. We don't know the thing that makes you number one. Yes, it's...
Who is looking you up the most? The more people that look you up on IMDb. On IMDb. So the more people that are looking you up... And that's the place guys go when they're horny. Yeah. To look at all those hot photos. I'm going to say the Naino. I'm going to have to say the Naino. No, because they go, they watch a movie, and then they're like, who's that fucking hot ass babe? I mean, The Rock's up there. Because...
Also, gay guys be horny too. What? No. Gay dudes aren't looking up. Gay guys. Horny? Yeah, gay guys be horny too, dude. I don't know. I don't know. I'm telling you. I've been around some gay dudes, and they be horny. They slide into my DMs, and they be horny. Oh, yeah. It goes down. And you're claiming The Rock is horny.
It's desirable in the community. To gay men? Yeah, I would say... It's a bagel. Yeah, I wonder if he's the most... I don't think he gives off a vibe. I don't either. I don't think he's got that... Zizh.
He just doesn't, I don't, either way, women or men, I don't think he's like an object of sexuality. He's too asexual? Yeah. Men want to be him, women want to be him. Like, have you ever seen him kiss anybody in a movie? You know what I mean? Thank you, God! He doesn't have to. I think I have. Uh,
Sure. I mean, sure. For sure he has to have kissed people in movies, right? I don't think he has. When has he? You stop. He's never kissed anyone in the 50 movies. I guarantee he has. No, I saw it. I'm going to Google images. The rock kissing. Ready?
Yes, he's kissed. He's kissed. The rock kissing images. Hey, everybody on this Zoom has kissed in a movie before. Okay, I'm looking at this. Apparently he did it in Jumanji, but it was like a comedy bit where he's like licking her face or something. No. Oh.
That means... And then Rock doesn't kiss. That means he... Then he just doesn't... That's like a thing. Yeah. I don't think he does. Because every other picture is like from real life. It could be an agreement with his wife. Some men don't kiss. Is he married? Yes. Yeah, he's married. Yeah. It could be an agreement. Some men don't... You know, they say like, I won't kiss. Who's our guy? We had our guy. And he didn't take off his wedding ring. That was his whole bit. Yeah, which is fucking sick. What's our guy's name who was in Game Over Man? Who played the like...
The main bad guy? Neil McDonough. Yeah. Neil McDonough. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. He said none of that. That was his thing. I respect it. I respect it. Yeah, that's fucking cool, dude. No, I'm going to give you a list of 10 things I'm not about to do. No, I disagree. I do not think it's cool. I didn't think it's... I respect it. I go, yeah, okay, fine, if that's what you want to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure. You're not going to go up? You're sure not going to go up? Yeah, you're not going up. You're not going to get a podcast and go up.
But yeah, I'm like, as an actor, your character might not be married. Like, if your character, if you're playing like a fucking gigolo or something and you demand to wear a wedding ring, sure. Yeah. Popo, stop!
Yeah, go ahead. Or you're like, for whatever reason, you just went through and your character went through a divorce and he's back out on the scene and that's your character in the movie. Yeah. It would be weird to have the wedding ring on. I think you play the character that you're... You're paid to play? Yeah, you're paid to play. Right. I think that people in this position don't take those roles. They don't take those roles. I think they pass on those roles. And I think he's talked about it. I'm going to seek out Gigolo roles.
No, we know. Don't worry. As soon as you said it, I go, cool. I know where you're at. I think that he passes on those roles and is probably lost out on stuff because he's a good actor. That's fucking cool, man. What's it called? Captain America the other day. I was like, oh yeah, this dude's been in everything. Fucking take a stand. What do you take a stand on, Blake? On your way to go up.
Won't cut the hair. Won't cut the hair. Wedding ring? Wedding ring? Never wore one. Never had. I have a necklace, kind of. That I'm currently not wearing. That can go. I got a necklace that can go. Hair saves. I'll shave my head to be Mr. Freeze, though. I'll tell you what. That's what it is? That is. Okay, Matt Reeves. Matt Reeves, if you're listening. Yeah, Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze is where you draw the line? Yes, that is what I will do it for.

I've thought about it long and hard, and if you want to cast me as Mr. Freeze, I will shave my head. What about, like, teenage Lex Luthor? Nope. Mr. Freeze only. Did Lex Luthor have long hair? So, Blake, for real talk, if you want to go up... Well, then I'm going to podcast. It does back you in a corner, your hair. I know. What do you want me to do, though? What do you want me to do, brother? Should we say it at the same time? Well, I don't want you to do anything. I'm fine with you...
That's life! Playing similar roles, but I think you would get other roles different if you didn't have the hair that you currently have. I like your hair. But if I could... This sounds like a soundboard thing where you're like, I like the soundboard. I like the soundboard. Your voice goes up and that lets me know that you don't actually like it. It's not real, man. Dude, you don't think I like your hair? I like your hair. Is that real? I like the soundboard. I do. That lets me know you don't actually like the...
I do like the soundboard.
No. So you will never cut your hair ever. Your hair means that much to you. Unless I get Mr. Freeze. They're not going to give you Mr. Freeze. How do you know? Why? Why would you say that? Victor Von Freeze? Because they don't know what you look like. Wait, Adam. I'm sorry. Adam. Victor Von Freeze. Adam. Victor Von Freeze. Hey, yeah. I guess that's his name. Sure. Come on, dude. Blake, have you thought about doing like CGI headshots with different hair to be like, this is what it could be. Do we get you on? Do you follow me on Insta?
I don't know if I do. Blake, do we get you on Nathan Fielder's show, The Rehearsal? I would love to. I love Nathan. And we plan on you cutting your hair, and we go through every possibility of what your hair could look like. This is a great pitch. This is a great pitch. With a full-on haircut.
And just a full-on rebrand. The rehearsal. I mean, Sean White did it. He was the flying tomato. That's true. And then now he's all trim and proper. He's so handsome now. What's going on? He's so hot now. How did he do that? Dating my friend Nina Dobrev. Shout out. Yes. But what does the hair look like when it's not perfectly combed? Because it seems like it's a lot of work to alter.
I bet Blake would be, and Blake is already so hot with that hair. Thank you, brother. What if he didn't have that hair? Would he be even
hotter to some women some women he would be it would be a disappointment because they like those long locks quick question and Blake this might help you figure it out is that flying tomato had very kind of kinky long curlyish hair correct do we think he chemically straightens his hair now no his hair is not long enough to curl up his hair is just combed back
No, no, he cut his hair completely. He has short hair at this point. I think it's, I mean. It's just combed back. No, he cut his hair, dude. I was hanging out with him a few months ago and it's, it's, it's, it's this long. It's this long. It's slick. Yes. Okay. So, but, so by the way, if Blake's hair is that long. It's like three or four inches. It's a poof.
It's a poof. It's an afro. We just posted my soccer picture. That's what it does. Yeah, but that's when you were a child. Your hair changes. My hair is much curlier than Sean White's hair. You do realize that. Look at this nest, bro. Okay, but I'm just wondering. His hair looks very straight now. Look at that. That is not what Sean White's hair looks like. It kind of did when it was long. My shit is...
Blake, also relax. No, no, no, no, no. Come on. I wish I could relax these curls, but I can't because they look... But that's what I'm saying is like... If I bat... ...chemically perm that shit. Dude, I would like to see it. I think I've seen that before when you've had it straight ironed or flat ironed. Is that what they call it? Yeah, yeah. Which is actually, I like that look, but it just... Okay, so... Yeah, you looked like Snoop Dogg when he was going through his like Godfather phase. His hair was very curly. It's not as curly as mine.
There's no... I don't know how to... Sean White's hair is not as curly as mine. But I'm just going to say it was very, very wavy. Wavy, not curly. My shit is curly, bro. Okay, all right, okay, all right. So you're saying you truly will never cut it...
Unless I'm Victor Vaughn. The thing is, you won't get offered those roles because people don't see you in that light. Might be Victor Vaughn. First would need to cut your hair and then people would go, oh, now he fits that role or whatever.
You know? Right. Yeah, I get... Yeah, man, I guess I'm down. Whatever. You guys want to shave my head on pod or what? Yeah. Yeah, I would. I would love that. I mean, I love your hair. You want to? I feel like I can't...
The cause of diarrhea. I mean, is this a... I feel like I can't... Okay, if I'm ever going to cut it, it has to be after the Workaholics movie, correct? For sure. Yeah, I mean, we can't do the movie... You can't wear a wig in the Workaholics movie. There's too many hair set pieces. Exactly. It's all about the hair. So, do you think as soon as we wrap Workaholics, you guys shave my head on camera and be like, end of an era, hey, Henderson is dead? Well, I think we would have to do a big live show.
The heronine. Do you really think it was an era? Do you think anyone... Era. End of a her-era. Hera. That's funny. That's funny. The end of a hera. This is important live. End of the hera. End of a hera. I want to do... I want to do this is important live so bad, we just got to figure it out, man. Yeah, we... Yeah. Schedules be wonky. Mm.
Speaking of schedules, I'm going to leave in five minutes. Really? Do you guys want to keep going without me or do we want to wrap it up right now? Yeah, I think we wrap. All right.
I don't think it's going to be the two of us. I'm living in a nightmare. I mean, that could be fun. Yeah, I think so. Ders has places to be. Yeah, I have to. I got to go jump in the pool. And Blake, I don't want to, you know what, now that we're starting to do, we're on the dismount, I don't want you to think I dislike your hair. Okay. I like your hair. Look at Sean White's hair. Look at Sean White's hair in the chat there. None of this even factors into any of my life decisions. I'm not taking anything you say seriously.
at all in at all. I know. I remember you saying that back at that, like when we were wrapping up workaholics, you were like, yeah, maybe I will. Maybe I will. And then you, that's been five years ago and yet you didn't. Do you think I haven't? Do you think anybody's going to like take the risk of like casting Blake against
Because let's face it, that's a prejudice to be like, well, there wouldn't be a lawyer with hair like that. And couldn't there be a lawyer with hair like that today? I auditioned for that little lawyer Wile E. Coyote movie. It's not little. It's going to be a huge smash hit without us. Will Forte got it, and now all of a sudden I want to see it. He's a fan. Although I explained the movie to my eight-year-old, and he goes...
Wouldn't that be better as like a short sketch? And I was like, wow. Wait, was Will at the party? Wait, what is this movie? I don't know anything about this. It's Wile E. Coyote versus Acme. Yes. And so it's like... Oh my God. Are we allowed to even talk about it? Yeah, it's a movie they're making. You guys didn't have to... You didn't sign a confidentiality agreement or anything? I don't know. Somebody... I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know if we did. But essentially, like, he gets hit by an anvil or something, or he's constantly getting hit by these things made by acne. Acne. So then he sues acne, and it becomes this huge class action lawsuit law movie. That's funny. About cartoons and, like, a shitty lawyer. I think it's going to be good. Oh, funny. And so you auditioned just to be a voice. No, the lawyer. No, no, no, to play the lawyer. Both of us did. Oh, okay. So it's...
And then it's live action with, it's like Roger Rabbit. It's like Roger Rabbit. Okay, so that's my thought process immediately. I'm like, lawyers don't have this hair at all. Why even the fuck am I doing this? Like lawyers, no lawyer looks like me. Zero percent.
Right? I bet there's a lawyer that looks like you. Yeah, I bet. Probably the coolest lawyer ever. The DUI lawyer. Yeah, DUI lawyer. And that is a whole nother movie. That's a whole nother movie. By the way, why don't you just write the DUI lawyer movie to get yourself out of the box? Yeah, Blake. No. No.
Wow. Any take backs? That was the funniest board drop. Career wise or otherwise. Oh, you like it now. Dude, I love it. I love the board.
I feel like you're reading too much into my voice inflection. I always liked the board. Okay, well, people are talking. He said it funny again. Couldn't say it regularly. People are talking. I got to lean into the chucks and the gigs and the bits. My man's got some inflex. Okay, Durst, go on and get out of here. Me and Adam are going to just kind of have like basically like The Walking Dead, but we talk about after. What is it called? The Talking Pod. Yeah.
He left? He left. Oh, my God. Just like that. And then there were two. Do you have any take-backs? Any take-backs or apologies? This is the saddest moment in our pod. And then there were two. Okay, well. I would like to take back, kind of going in on you about your hair. I don't want you to think I dislike your hair. I just...
I want you to... To not always have to play just the stoner guy. All right. Which...
It sucks because I know how talented you are. Thank you. You could do anything you want. Thanks, man. My blicky boy. Thank you, man. And I'm going to continue to do that. But maybe what I'm trying to teach the world is that just because you have long hair doesn't mean you're a total bozo. I'm with you. And it's time for Hollywood to fucking catch up. Yeah, son of a gun. Hollywood, it takes them a while. It really does. It takes them a little too.
long to catch up sometimes. And I want to give a special shout out to Anders and Kyle for just being along for the ride but not right now and son of a bitch. And that was another episode of This is Important. Hear that? Pumpkin.
That's fall calling. And the pumpkin spice latte is back at Starbucks. From that first sweater to late autumn weather, it's all a fall in just one sip. Order ahead on the Starbucks app.
