Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important...

You don't, Adam? You're good, bro? What's going on? Adam's coming in with some star-studded qualities this morning. Yeah, I like this. What's going on, bro? Yeah, how are we? He just seems checked out. Is star-studded checked out? I just want to talk about the movie, and I got reprimanded right before the podcast, dude. Do not come. I just wanted to tell jokes about
the movie. No, no. I said, let's not do jokes from the movie, from the script. Oh, right. Actual dialogue. So we are writing a workaholics movie. Spoiler alert.
and I love Durst's writing and sometimes I quote his writing and he's mad at me. I think it's a... I think it doesn't do us any favors. I gotta keep it 100. I don't think it matters, but I respect you, Durst. Yeah, say them all. Go for it.
Let's do it. No, don't. Don't. I don't want to hear them. Say them all. No, don't. Start at the beginning. Please don't. Wow, dude. Man, I forgot him. Now we forgot him. Funny how that works.
Come on now. So what's up? Good morning, gentlemen. Hey, and Adam, that's not reprimanding. That's just working together. That's just making suggestions. That's just trying to be helpful. I like this. Okay. No one's in charge of you. No one's punishing you. No. Okay. It's just a... I said, how about we try and not do jokes from the movie script? Yeah, for sure.
And nobody else had a problem with it. Why did you have a problem with it, pal? Because I was the one who said the joke and then you got upset. And also, I'm not really upset right now, dude. It's weird that you're getting so butthurt by it. I'm liking this. Yeah. Hey, I'm just asking questions, looking for answers. Right. I'm just trying to function, dude. Because he did phrase it like that. He did phrase it. I'm just trying to find out why you think it was you being reprimanded.
Just like they said, let's not say any phone numbers this episode. Is that a reprimand? I don't feel reprimanded. I feel like that's a good suggestion. Yeah, we had no idea. And that shit went wrong for that one person. Oh, yeah. Did she DM you? She said it like ruined her life. Yeah, she had a bad day. She had a bad day.
Yeah, she got ripped up by that. I think other people brought it to my attention. Or maybe it was Blake. Yeah, she has an awesome phone number. I don't even remember what we said exactly. We just said a fake number and said it was our number. And then as if we share one number. Is that what happened? Well, don't we? We do. We have a hotline. Well, yes. And it is. We have a hotline. Yeah, I think unfortunately or fortunately, this person has an amazing phone number.
And we said that phone number on the pod and she got blown up. Although she did say she now hates podcasts because many podcasts have said her phone number as like a joke. And then she gets blown up. Is that right? Yeah, we were like the third one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, man. But it's a sick phone number. And she goes, and I'm not giving it up. That's good. I got to go back and listen to that episode because I do not remember the number that we said. Yeah, they might have. I think it's been. What would you think it is? My guess is it's 187-420-6969. And if it's not that, I don't want it, dude.
Is 187 an area code? But that is our number. 187. Feel free to give that one. 187. That's the hotline. 187 was the number. Now this person's going to get blown up for sure. Hey, guys, please don't call. Please don't call. Well, if you have that number, you're –
I mean, either you're the coolest guy alive or this has already happened to you to the point that you got a new number. Does somebody have the 187 area code? I don't think 187 is a real area code, is it? No, I don't think so. I bet our producers are going to find out. Let's see. I'll do a little Google. But yeah, when you're at AT&T or the Verizon store and they're like, so here's the numbers we have and you are offered that.
You got to sit with that for a second before you go, I'm going to commit to this lifestyle. Yeah, you have to. Wait, so producers, is 187 an area code? No, it doesn't seem like it's an area code. No, it's a legal, it's a penal code. It's a penal. And we all know that. It's a penal code.
Penal code? I feel like you can't. Penal, dude. It's a penal code. Yeah, it's a reference to the law code. Penal code 187 in the law code of the state of California. Yeah, which is murder, right? It's homicide. 187. Murder was the case that you gave me. I didn't know those codes were called penal code. I figured, isn't penal like once you're in jail? That's penile. I think you have to do penal because it's a penalty, right? It's a penalty. You're penalized? Uh.
Ah, yes. Like a penalty is a continuation of that word? I don't fucking know. Real man of genius. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. And what's the code? Yes. What's the code?
I promised myself I wasn't going to say anything dumb this episode, so I'm just not talking. Yeah. Good luck. What was so cool about that episode where we were talking about Norway and like, no, it was the Netherlands and none of us knew shit. I talked with Isaac afterwards and he was like,
It was crazy. I literally didn't know you guys were that stupid. That was wild. You guys are really dumb. And I'm like, because he's really dumb, it actually hurt my feelings. We need to go on trips. Don't have seven names for your one country, though. Don't be the Dutch from Holland, also known as the Netherlands. It's too crazy. It's too much. Yeah, that's true. I know Amsterdam. That's it. Hey, we kept it simple over here in America where...
Okay? That's right. Damn right. Yep. But that being said, Dutch is kind of a cool...
name like for your people Dutch that's kind of Dutch is tight and Holland days I'm naming my first child Dutch no matter Dutch is a great movie starring Ed O'Neill yes it is my boy Ed O'Neill Ethan Embry I believe didn't they show like they had like nude playing cards and that stopped my heart as a child yeah
It's a fantastic shot. It's like a closeup of like a wiggling it up. He's like, check this out. It was like, huh? And it was just like, you see a boobie. And I remember being like, I don't know, probably what nine or 10 and just my heart stopped. Do not come. That doesn't happen to kids anymore. Right. And what was cool is the whole idea is that a new boyfriend of a kid's mom is sent to pick him up and drive him home from prep school for Thanksgiving. And to like,
get him to follow the rules, he's like, I'll show you pictures of naked women. Oh, that's how he baits them? They've never met, and I'm like, how? Do you do this now? Can you make this movie? Can you? Yeah, I mean, dude, kids are horny, right? Yeah, kids are still really horny, but now... Kids are still horny. Kids are horny. I don't know if the...
The stepdad. But now they have porno in their pocket. That's true. Kyle, they don't need a deck of cards. The movie wouldn't make any sense. Oh, so the problem is logic that the kid would be like, fuck your card. I got hardcore porno in my pocket. It's a logic bump. Yeah, it's like, card, I've got porno right here in my pocket. Do you think horniness levels have dipped?
No. We are from peak horniness and now they've dipped down. Oh, I guess maybe. Aren't they saying that like the youngest generation, this new, what is it? What do they call in the generation after millennials? Yeah.
they're saying that they like have the least amount of sex they they smoke the least they do the least drugs and then they also drink they don't drink right they don't drink so then they're fucking horny as shit so we were the last millennials were the last cool and they
And they don't have sex. They have sex less than the millennials and then less than Gen Z. Yeah, I would say they're just afraid to act on their horniness because they're on their phones all fucking day. They don't know how to interact. We were the last cool generation, boys. We were. Sorry about it. Yeah, but for a long time, I didn't drink, smoke or have sex either. I'm like right there with them.
Right. Yeah, but you're still trying to be Gen Z right now, dude. You're trying to young down. Yeah, that's actually on brand for the teenager. Yeah, bro. You're on brand by just saying that. Yeah, you're on brand for your clothing company, Bored Teenager. You were Gen Z when we were all millennials. Yeah, dude. Yeah, Blake keeps getting younger. And that's cool. Hey, and that's why we keep you around. Just to be like, what's the new hit band? Wait, there's not any bands anymore? No.
Hey, Blake, show that T-shirt off. Yeah, baby. Yeah, Blink-182 starring us. Still sold out. You still can't get it. Still sold out. Oh, there's a limited drop, dog. No restock? Yeah. They're not going to just dump that in Hot Topic. You got to be quick. Hot Dog it. Hot Dog it. Hot Topic. You're not going to drop it and Hot Dog it.
Yeah, so it's a Blink-182 shirt that, what does it say on the back? I miss the old Blink-182. I think so. I like. I think it says I like. Oh, I like the old Blink-182. And then it's photos of us. And that's an official merch drop from the band, Blink-182. Pretty freaking sick. They reached out to us, which was a true highlight of my life as a millennial.
As a millennial, yes. Yeah, I know they sing about all the small things. This for us, that's a big thing. That was a big thing. All the big things. Yes, points! I mean, I've told you guys that I played that song when I lost my virginity, All the Small Things, without being ironic and did not think about it before putting it on. Yeah, I don't know. And then in the moment, I said...
I realized what was happening and she wasn't really paying attention to the song. And then I said, more like all the medium things. Am I right? So stupid. She's like, is he talking about my breasts? Exactly. She's like, does he talk about my boobs? Yeah, she stopped. She's like, what? And I'm like, am I wearing a medium sweatshirt? More like all the medium things. And she's like,
And I'm like, the song. And she goes, oh. I'll say it didn't land. Did you say your dick? Yes. You did. Okay. I did. I did. The song. I'm talking about my dick. And she was like, oh. Right. Okay. Oh, yeah. Are you done? Yeah, for sure. Medium, I guess. I don't know. It's my first time having sex, too. Are we doing this right? Yeah.
Man, cool. I know you probably haven't seen this person for a long time, but soon after, when you'd go back between college or vacations, did you ever run in? Should I tell everyone her phone number? Yeah, let's give her a call. Let's talk. Did you ever run in this person and be like, do you remember when that happened and that song came on? Did you ever breach, broach? I don't know if I ever talked with her about that.
that no I mean we dated for a few years okay yeah so no we she was like my girlfriend and we dated like into college was it a running gag in your relationship or what gag did she gag on there's no gagging she wishes she wishes it was she wishes
No, I think I never said that ever again. And the next time I told that story, I believe was on Comedy Central. Comedy Central had that show, The Goddamn Comedy Jam. Secret Girlfriend? Secret Girlfriend. Oh, yeah, yeah. Remember that? And they would have comedians come on and tell a story about the song that they're singing, and then a band would come out and perform. Right, yeah.
It was cool. It was like a comedy special. And I accidentally slipped and said her full name. Let's go! She called me the next day after it aired and was like, yo, what the fuck, dude? What are you doing? You're putting my name... And I'm like, yeah, that is my bad. So you have talked to her. Was it live? You didn't call back to be like, and let's edit out the name? I didn't even think...
about it twice i just said it and what about your management your management didn't flag that no my management did not he was looking up where uh holland was he's like is holland right the netherlands or is that mr holland's opus yeah is it hollandaise sauce is that where it comes from that's the thing about when we doxed and when you're giving out whenever you dox people we have like four people listening to us talk at all times that they're supposed to be catching these things right
nah dude hey and like what does docs mean yeah as a as an elder millennial i am not a totally sure what docs means well you know that's like when you give out somebody's like information publicly and then like say you could give out their address or their name or their telephone number and they handle this you say hey crowd handle this why and why is it called why docs yeah why docs why docs that's a great question let's talk to webster
I'm not allowed to say anything stupid this podcast, so I don't know. Did Isaac call you and say, hey, you were really stupid? Yeah, he only checks on Blake. Hey, just so you know, you came off as really stupid that last podcast. You're legit losing roles. I expect more. Yeah.
you blacklisted yourself Hollywood doesn't want to fuck with you anymore because of how stupid you were on that last podcast okay legit coming off really really dumb who's gonna read this it's really long okay it originates from a I got it yeah okay yeah it says it originates from a sorry I didn't know you put it in the chat I was
I got it as I'm already reading it. Sure. I got it. I didn't know it's in the chat. I'm not even looking at the screen. Sorry, dude. Kyle loves to read a lot. It originates from a spelling alteration of the abbreviation docs or documents and refers to compiling and releasing a dossier of personal information on someone. Sorry I asked. Yeah.
Essentially, doxing is revealing and publicizing the records of an individual which were previously private or difficult to obtain. I was going to read that. Yeah, but you were going so slow, dude. You have to popcorn, Kyle. Yeah, you were hogging, dude. Yeah, you were really hemming and hawing. I should have called popcorn Adam. Popcorn Adam. That would have been good.
Popcorn, Adam. Did you guys ever do that? What does that mean? You never did that? I don't know. I have no idea. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, oh, really? I'm like, well, he just stopped talking. You guys sometimes will go into like childhood speak. You don't remember popcorn? This is like when you're reading in school. Like if it was like, hey, can you read page 69 in your notebook? And then you read a paragraph or in the textbook. Points.
And then you read a paragraph and then you say, okay, I'm done with my paragraph. So the way that you call somebody else out, you say popcorn, Blake.
And then Blake gets to read. Yes. It was when you were reading aloud in class. You didn't have to read aloud in class. The teacher just told would be like, okay, Adam reads now. But then what happens when you get to the end? You stop talking. Have you ever done that before? Yeah, then you stop talking and then the teacher talks. I haven't personally. No, you should try that.
Um, wait, I do love that you guys obviously went to school together growing up. And so your world is like, yeah, everybody. And we don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That's why I love us. It sounds fun. Yeah. Durs and I went out in the world and met other people who were us.
Yeah, the other people were you too. Yeah, that's it. Then we kept you around for 20 years. We're so different. Was it one specific class or was it our entire school district that made every teacher say popcorn? Mandated. Mandated from the top down.
It was mandated. I think it was part of the curriculum. Yes. You have to do popcorn in your class. I don't know. Maybe it was like, I don't know why the fuck I know that and you know that and these guys don't. That's wild. Adam, say jokes from the movie, please. Please. Please.
Stone King! I take it back. Dude, the popcorn acted. Just start doing jokes from the movie. I feel like they're not thinking back hard enough, though. I feel like this is universal and they just missed it or something. Yeah. I got none of the producers chiming in, but...
So Docs is D-O-X from D-O-C-S, which is like revealing documents. Okay. Yes, I read that a lot. And this is a thing people do. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Sorry, go ahead. And this, what do they call it? Real Man of Genius.
Thank you. And what do they call it when they send the SWAT team? Is that being called SWATed? Yes, dude. So brutal. Oh, yeah, but you have to do that. That wouldn't work for us because we don't do this shit live, you know? I feel like that only works with streamers, right? Well, it works as far as people see. I'm sure someone's going to try it now. What is this? No, it would work. It would work. You guys could do it. Please don't. We would really appreciate it. I know what SWATed is. I know what SWATed is. Okay. SWAT? SWAT?
Swatted is when you... It's like if someone's gaming and they're live streaming, playing their game, you can call...
the SWAT team on them. Like, if you know they're addressed and they will, the SWAT team will show up, which is obviously super illegal to do. And you could get in all kinds of trouble, but what are you doing? You're lying to the SWAT team. Yeah. So I wouldn't even do it. You are lying. Yes. And then, and then like you're on your, you, you literally watch the guy as like the SWAT team breaks in and like points guns in their face. Yeah. But what you're saying, you're acting like a SWAT team is like Uber eats. Like,
Kyle, they actually are. And here's why. It's actually a cool app. How do you just click on the SWAT team? People call 911 and say, hey, I just saw someone building a fucking bomb or cleaning guns outside of a school. And they have to take every single call super seriously. Of course. They can't say, are you Josh? If you see something, say something.
Yeah, I feel like there needs to be a level of, are you joshing? Like at the police station. There has to be. That's a SWAT team.
I think if you just have to be a really good actor, you have to be like, oh, my God. But also they know it's good. Where'd Adam go? Who's this kid now? Did you say, oh, my word? He said, oh, my word. He did. Oh, my word. He said, oh, my word. I think it's real. Oh, my word. Oh, my word.

Is the afterword different than the comedown? I thought we were just explaining the comedown, which I feel like is the afterwords. That's a little different. Well, the comedown is live streamed. The afterwords is like, wait, who called us and pranked us? I'm learning something new every day. Do not come. Now, is that the afterwords or is that the, that almost feels like the aftermath of the
Oh, the shady aftermath. Okay, cool. So the aftermath, right? You're right. As a millennial, I say aftermath. Thank you. You're right. Hold up. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. So the aftermath, when they're doing the math and they're like, who called us? They're crunching the numbers. Right. Yeah.
Whose phone was this? This is now the afterwards math. And also what you could only get swatted once in your life, right? If the SWAT keeps showing up to the same house. No, you can't. Because then if you're a terrorist, right? If I was going to be a terrorist, if. Right. Allegedly. I would say, hey, swap me. And then like I'm free and clear to do whatever the fuck I want. Oh.
and then you're immune from swats you gotta always be thinking like a terrorist yeah dude hey can't stop won't stop allegedly theirs is always thinking like one i'm just trying to keep america safe uh yeah so that's i that's really fucked up like imagine fuck yeah you swat someone and then something happens and they murder someone you know what i mean they go in and they kill somebody
Right. I mean, here we go. We got some coming in. But for sure. Here's some aftermath. Or like a fucking kid is like sitting by the front door when they kick it down, you know? Oh, yeah. Kick it, Diana. Feel free to popcorn at any time reading this. You want to start? Go for it.
Okay. In March 2019, a California man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for carrying out a fatal 2017 swatting. This is sad. Popcorn Adam. Swatting carries a high risk of violence and causes tax dollars to be wasted by the city and county when responding to a false report of a serious law enforcement emergency. Donkey. Popcorn Anders. Okay. Yes. Oh.
A hard word. I wasn't reading. Where did you finish? Emergency. Law enforcement emergency. He stopped at a comma. You're not supposed to stop at a comma. Oh, Ders. This is Ders in school. Dude, I can already see you. Ders, one of the main... Oh, yeah. You stopped... Wait, sorry. Just to be clear, you did stop in the middle of a sentence, right? He did. He did. That's not allowed. I thought you could popcorn at any moment. I didn't know who you were. You're supposed to popcorn. God, I'm seeing our high school experience right now, and I'm really liking it.
I'm sorry. Hey, Mrs. Anderson, I didn't know. You guys wouldn't have made it a freaking week in the Mount Diablo school district. I'll tell you that right now. Okay. Okay. You don't have it. They didn't popcorn Blake. Okay. Thank you. Popcorn unders. Here we go. In California, swatters bear the full cost of the response, which can lead to fines up to $10,000. If great bodily injury or death occur as a result of the swatting, dude, what?
Dude. Popcorn me. By the way, it's up to 10 grand. I feel like it should be way more. Yeah, what the hell? 100,000. Dude, 10 grand? I feel like, yeah, we got that. No.
Yeah. Why does it? Yeah. It says. Yeah. So what are we going to swat each other? Cause we know each other's addresses. Oh my God. You want to do it? No, no, this is, this is, it says, it says full cost and $10,000 fines on top of the full cost. So you have to pay for the resources and you get fine. Oh,
How much does the SWAT showing up cost? Oh, my God. Well, you got to think all the gas to get there. There's so much. Those trucks are diesel. They're diesel. And all the snacks that the SWATing guys have to snack on for protein. When they're in the back of the truck watching all the surveillance, they are snacking, dude.
I'm talking checks, man. I'm talking banana chips. I got to imagine there's also an ambulance and EMTs on call just in case shit goes down, right? Absolutely. Yep. If shit really gets popping, probably a fire engine. Well, you know who gets this kind of fine and has to pay this all the time is fucking Steve-O because he goes out and does those pranks.
And then he knows and he calculates the cost that it's going to be to get the fire truck. Wow, dude. Well, he doesn't do SWAT. No, no, no. But he does. He'll put himself on a billboard or whatever. And then fire truck and cops and EMTs, they all show up. So what do you know? The inside scoop, like how much that, for instance, costs? No, he's just letting us know that, you know, who knows about it? Steve-O.
Who cares? I know. I don't know the number. I was trying to remember, but I was like, well, we can reach out to him and figure it out. Maybe we'll see. Yeah. Text him right now. Okay. Let's text Steve-O. See if we get something back. Steve-O, what's the average cost of taping yourself to a billboard? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I'm going to do that. And how do you think that would translate to a swap? Per dollar? I don't know. Probably double or triple is my educated guess. Yeah. Yeah.
It ain't educated. You think that swatting costs more than a billboard stunt? Oh, yeah. Well, I think you're getting the billboard stunt plus the SWAT team. You're getting everybody. Who cares? Thank you. This is the dumbest conversation. Do you have to pay the economics?
The economics of jackass. Like the cost of the SWAT team. Like, do you have to pay their salary? Well, maybe. I don't know. You got to pay the cost of... Because I don't know if some places the SWAT team is on call. I would hope so. So I don't think they get paid and let... No, no, no. I mean, there's not a SWAT team. They're not just sitting in an office waiting to be... Until they get called or summoned or whatever, and then they come together. They're at their...
soccer match and they're in Target buying deodorant. They just have to drop everything that they're doing. Like Armageddon where they're all getting the call. Oh, yeah, dude. Great moment. Yeah, that is. I love those moments. Michael Clark and what do we call him? I can't remember. Michael Clark Duncan was on the motorcycle like, woo!
I'm like, this movie's fun. Yeah, we need to write a movie where we get the call. I want to be in a movie where I get the call and have to drop what I'm doing. What movies do... I know MacGruber. MacGruber is a good one. MacGruber is really, really fucking good. MacGruber has... They do a play on it, right? Yes. It's a nice play. Do you guys know the... I think it's the original. Do you guys know the original of We're Summoning All the Dudes? Don't...
What's your Dobie Gillis? Dobie Gillis. Was it like 18 or some shit? No, no. It's older and it's not even American. Okay. What are you saying, Mr. Belvedere? Are you talking like some old show we don't know about? Mr. Bean. I like this. It's Mr. Bean. Is it Mr. Bean? Where's it from? It's the Seven Samurai. Who cares? Right. Yeah. A movie I've never seen. By the way, it takes forever to gather the homies. Oh, yeah. That's like...
Because you gotta get like the pigeon right Or something What's the call There's a village getting Wait what What are you talking about Is that oh a homing pigeon like you put a note on him I don't like no pigeons Yes you son of a bitch I'm not saying anything stupid today
You are, Blake. It just comes out naturally stupid, Blake. There's a village being terrorized by these people and they're like, yo, we need somebody to fucking help us. And they go to all these other people to like, hey, will you come help us protect our village? And it takes forever. The movie's super long. And then by the time they get everyone, the village is...
just destroyed because they like went around too long they're like they're currently burning the village to the ground and they go from village to village finding samurais yeah seven how about three man can we just get three you gotta hurry yeah just stop at three and go fight you three come with me nah man we need at least four more dudes
Okay, on to the next village. No, it's dope because for every dude that they pick up, there's like a little tiny story that happens where like you see their like strength, right? They're like the thing they can do. Right. And then when they get there, they like rope it all together and like this dude does that. It's sick. And then what is the Magnificent Seven? That's the cowboy version. They ripped it off. And then what is the other one? The Ridiculous Six. Three Amigos, of course. The Hateful Eight.
The Ridiculous Six. Six, yeah. Hateful Eight. The Hateful Eight, they all just show up, though. They don't go get anybody. They just kind of come in. It's definitely enough for me, dawg. Just kind of wander in, okay? They just kind of wander in. I'm a big Randy Jackson guy.
Well, Samurai. What was it? Samurai 7? I don't know if I've seen it. The Seven Samurai. Seven Samurai. It's dope. It's Kurosawa. That's right. Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's black and white. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I think I've seen that movie. It's hell long. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. It's crazy. It's hell long because they got to rope all those samurais. If they just got three samurais, you're in and out in 90 minutes. Yeah, we could cut that down. We could get a super cut.
Yeah, you could cut down almost any old movie and it'll work. How about we just do a movie called The Three Sandwich Guys? We're done. There's only three of us. We work together at a sandwich company. What, like a really fat guy comes into a sandwich shop and we're like, we have to go find, we need more help. Well, like, let's say we're at a mall. We work at a sandwich place at a mall and there's another store in the mall that's getting ransacked and they need to gather up three sandwich guys, not to be confused with samurais.
Right. You have to always say it like sandwich guys. Hey, I'm listening. And then we go over there with our individual skill set and we help. I'm listening. Oh, so one person's like really good at like toasting. I'm really good at spreading the mayonnaise. You're good at like. I bet. Spread that mayonnaise. Somebody's good with like the knives, cutting the meats.
That comes in handy. Ooh, no more Mr. Knife Guy? Somebody bakes the bread. Oh, and you definitely have to say that a lot, Blake. No more Mr. Knife Guy. Who brought the knife guy? Yeah.
Have a knife day. And then there's one guy who you don't think has a skill, but he just eats a lot. And then guess what? He eats one of the thieves. He eats an entire thief. Oh, so it's being like there's thieves. I was just thinking they were ransacking a village. I thought they were running out of business. I thought they just needed to make good sandwiches. I'm listening. I thought they didn't have enough food.
sandwich guys so they had to go get more sandwich guys to come in and work the shift because they got the tastiest mayonnaise that also that works that's a dude that could be a version yeah very shagadelic that's a good low stakes version i like that i think that's an indie film let's keep it grounded yeah yeah yeah shoot it in a couple days we're good man i know my head can be in the stars and some in the clouds let's keep this sandwich uh comedy rounded
Yeah. Let's just, they're having trouble selling sandwiches. Dude, you lost me when you said mall. I'm like, yo, homie, those don't even exist anymore. I know as millennials, we have an affection for malls, but these Gen Zers, they don't even know what that is. Are you sure about that? They're not going to the mall. Are we sure about that? What's cool is we're so old, we don't know. Yeah.
We're sure they're not going to the mall. The malls are still around, though. They're holding up. No, they're going to the mall. Well, because malls like straight up don't exist. There's not even a mall in Charleston. There's not a mall here. No shit. Was there ever? Yes. And we shoot at it. It is. We shoot at where the mall was.
was like you guys get guns and you go shoot at it. We shoot with the righteous gemstones at the mall. We took over like the Sears, right? It has become like a warehouse. That's awesome. And now it's our studio. Sorry. Sears went out of business. That's different. Yeah. But then you walk through the mall and it's like, there's so many stores that are closed. It's like,
it's desolate. That is so fucking cool. I had no idea that you had, you shoot in a refurbished mall. That's creepy. Yeah, guys, that's creepy. That makes sense. And then in Omaha, our local mall shut down. It's just like big and empty. And they're talking about making it like,
They're talking about making it in the condos, which would be fucking bizarre. Pizza, pizza. They're turning everything into condos. How do you even shop at a condo? Yeah. Thank you, Anders. But here's my question. Where has all the shopping gone just online? Because I know like Amazon, when you think about L.A. even, there are certain areas that like pop off for like four or five years and then it rotates to another place. Right. Like.
fairfax i remember when the beverly center was like the shit when i moved to la like melrose is really popular and then beverly center and then people are at the grove and then people are on robertson or whatever right yeah so like i know that you're the mall you're talking about it's empty but is there a new shopping district so this rodeo drive well there's yeah there's like an outside kind of mall now right those are hot which in nebraska yeah that really doesn't make any sense because it's cold as fuck all
Right. It's so cold. For like nine months out of the year. It's so cold there. Check the runs of prices. Dude.
You get a cheap cup of chili if you... Eight degrees, eight cents, baby. Eight cents. The closest mall we had was an outdoor mall. And it was a fucking nightmare. Why? Why was it... It works in warm climates like in California. I was amazed when I went to... And I'm like, oh, the mall... When I saw schools were outdoors, I was like... Yeah. Yeah.
That blew my mind when you watched Clueless or whatever, being a Midwestern kid, and then you see these kids are going to school, but they're outside and it's summer. The outdoor lockers is a trip. Well, that's probably why they were doing popcorn, because it was just a better, more fun environment out here on the West Coast. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, for real.

Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Well, what we do in California that's super sick is like the fake snow in the outdoor malls. Oh, yeah, we do. Where they'll just dump a bunch of like fake snow. That shit is cool, dude. I do love that. When Santa's there and they blast that fake snow. I love it when Santa's there. I feel...
I don't know what that is. The snow, I've never gone to one of those events. Is it real? It's highly toxic. Wait, have you never gone to the Grove when they shoot the snow? I feel like that was a thing that we used to do.
Was that just me and you, Adam? That was us. I feel me and you, we were Grove boys. I still love the fuck with the Grove, dude. I gotta get over there, dude. I gotta go hit that all year farmer's market, bro. People do know what the Grove is because they broadcast like extra live from the Grove, right?
It's like Mario Lopez's deep-ass dimple broadcasting live from the Grove. Yeah, I want to say that, yeah, A.C. Slater's out there. Well, the Grove is like Los Angeles, one of the most well-known outdoor malls. And it's designed...
flawlessly it feels like disneyland when you're it's the kind of design that you wish somebody who designed that took over the city or something yeah you wish he was the mayor uh which he ran as uh as the los angeles he lost right i never heard like that was weird it took a while to count those votes i never heard who the fuck actually won hey buddy you're you're stepping in it yeah you're stepping in it you said you weren't gonna say anything to
I'm telling you currently. Well, dude, now you know you go, you vote, and you're supposed to get the results the next day. It takes too long. I lose interest. I'm like, I don't even give a fuck who won at this point. Wait, what? It took two weeks? I don't even give a fuck.
I want next day results. I agree. I'm with you. I understand that. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. It was heated in LA. I don't know if people outside of LA understand the hot, hot heat. I did not catch any of this. We weren't in Los Angeles, so I didn't really know the... But people were real riled up on the internet. You'd see... My favorite thing... So this guy, Rick Caruso, who designed the Grove or designed it, whatever. He developed it. Developed it. Yes. Oh, man.
Did he design the Americana as well? A developed Americana. Who cares? Everyone was like, what do you want LA to become like the Grove? And I'm like, as opposed to what? Look at Rodeo Drive. I don't know. I personally really like the Grove, but some people hate the Grove. Some people are like, ugh, the Grove. I fucking hate it there. And I'm like, oh, well, I think it's incredible. Like, I truly love it. Blake hates the Grove, right? Yeah. But I guess I'm just kind of like...
What do you want it to be? Ikea. What's your idea of L.A.? Does it have to stay exactly what it is now? Can you not accept time happening and things change? And by the way, I'm not even a Caruso guy, but... Yeah, you are, bro. You are. The idea that someone's like, do you want L.A. to become The Grove? I'm like, what, clean? Yeah, I thought that was a weird...
I was like, you just explain his politics, and if his politics suck, then fuck him. But I thought it was a weird leg to stand on because I personally would love if L.A. was the Grove. The Grove is the fucking best, dude. But also, how can you... That seems like a... Doesn't that seem like a weird leap? What do you want? A fountain places? I do. I want beautiful fountains. I want a band to be playing in the streets. They'll just have a band with a violinist. I want Hilary Duff.
Yeah, I want a Hilary Duff performance randomly. We have fountains already and no one shits on them. I don't know anything about this, but it feels like a weird leap to go from, hey, you designed this thing. Now you're going to turn our city into this thing. It's not a shopping mall. And maybe you will. The city's not a shopping mall. That's true, too. Thank you, Kyle. I just want to make that clear. Not if Rick Caruso got his hands on it.
It would be. But that feels so like a weird leap. I don't know. It doesn't feel logical. By the way, it's super embarrassing for him to lose, to just be like, you know what? I'm going to get into politics and not win. You kind of got to win that one.
Yeah, for sure. You do. We didn't get the votes, man. I'm sorry. Thank you, Blake. Thank you for explaining that. Did you did it? Did you finally get to the end of it, Blake? Did you wait the two weeks? Real men of genius. What I'm saying is if you're in politics...
you are constantly doing this right so if you lose one you lose one you can probably get back you reposition yourself but if you're not in politics and then you decide to get into it and then you lose it's like okay you came in you came in thinking you could win obviously from outside of politics and then it was like no yeah and producer anna is saying that he spent
100 million dollars of his own money to run his campaign that is wild dude it costs so much well that's a marketing camp it costs so much dude that's like so many posters yes that is a marketing campaign it is that's so many street teams going out at night and uh putting up his posters yeah that's fucked up dude to lose that's just people saying they don't like you that much like to your face
It was close, by the way. Well, I think it also was because people hate super, super rich people. Eat the rich. For good or bad. I think he just is a super, super fucking rich person. And I think people fucking just hate people with too much money. Sure. It's interesting, right? Because some people get a pass, right? Like Kendall Jenner. She might be richer than this dude, but she gets a pass, right? I don't think people like... I have zero...
Yeah, I don't know about him. I don't know. Fuck the Kardashians. Nobody likes anybody. Oh. Who do people like? People like you, Blake. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. No. No, they don't like Tom Hanks. No, people don't like Tom Hanks. They turn their back on him. Why? Why do they? Why? Because. Because you got to pick Chet or Tom. Yeah. We went Chet. We went Chet, bro.
Yeah, the true. If I had to pick between Chad and Tom, I'm going Chad all the way, dude. Adam, how do you know who won the mayoral race and you didn't know about the Tom Chet race? Hey, I've been out of town for too long. Tom Chet.
Is Chet short for something? Is Chet like a short name? Chester. Is it Chester? I don't know. Chetwick. Is it one of those nicknames where it comes from Stanley, but it's Chet? Where you're like, how's that work? Right. Chet.
Chet. Chet. Chet's a fucking cool name. It is. Chester. It's Chester. I got that. Thank you. I'm not saying dumb things today. Blake, point yourself. Point your love. Give yourself points. So it's not Stanley. Okay, hold on. Hold for points. Yes, points. Also, Chester...
is a cool fucking way cooler than Chet. Like infinitely cooler than Chet. 100%. It's not that tough sounding though. Chester sounds very like a little British boy to me. What's not tough about a British boy? Yeah, but you know what's tough looking? His like 28 inch arms. Like that's the play off play opposite. Is he jacked? Oh, he's so jacked, dude. Chet Hanks is? Uh, he's getting there for sure. Oh,
Adam's done the work.
I don't know who won the race. Oh, his eyes are blue. So he knows about the chat race. He was playing us this whole time. No, I follow Chet. I thought he was like a dancer type lean dude. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You got to check out new Chet. He's fully reinvented himself. Chester. His name is Chester. I wish you went by Chester. I think that's tight. I actually think that's a harder name. Chester Hanks. Yeah. Yeah. Chester Hanks works. Oh, yeah. It does. It does. Yeah.
Chester Hanks. I'm going to look that up and see what comes up. I feel like you guys are sweeping Colin under the rug. That is his brother, correct? Yes. Yeah, the OC, dude. Colin Rocks. Everybody likes Colin. Colin, so many people like. Yeah, that's who everyone likes. Colin Rocks. Yeah. I think if you're half foot in Tom, half foot in Chester, you're all feet into Colin. You're all in. Right. And is that what you think? Colonnist?
What? Colin is a mixture between Chester and Thomas. I don't know what you just said. I think he's the perfect mixture of both. No, no, no, no, no. Chet came right out of Tom's, or sorry, Colin came right out of Tom's dick. He is 100% Tom Hanks. They both did. Yeah, they both did.
What do you mean? Oh, you mean like it's obvious that they're father-son? Like he is obvious. Obviously, and he like is built. They look the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at current Chester Hanks. The guy is so jacked. Can we get it in the chat? He's so tatted. Is he on the liver king tip? Is he just eating pure liver? My guess is he is eating pure liver. Yeah.
he's that jacked that he must only be eating uh you know bison testicles right have you guys ever ate um bone marrow uh yeah yeah yeah yeah i've had that i can't say i have that sounds gross as fuck to me dude yeah yeah but you your palate is like you eat nothing but like chicken nuggets and uh like shaped like dinosaurs we're playing high
Fuck you. Not all true. I do love them. Yeah, you eat nothing but like chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs and like applesauce. Air fryer changed the game on nuggets. I will say that. I will say that. That's a hot take. You trying to sponsor? Why eat bone marrow?
At nice restaurants, they do weird things. And you're like, oh, they're like, we want you to try this. And then you try it and it's good. Why? You put it on toast and shit. Bone marrow is like a butter, right? That's how they serve it. You put it on a little piece of bread. Isn't that what it is? Yeah, it's spreadable. It's like mayonnaise, like Adam's character in the movie. I've had it once. I did not like it. I did not like bone marrow.
What does it even taste like? Salt? It's like fat. It's just like fat. Yeah, it was just like glubber. It was just like glub glub. So it tastes like fat. Yeah, which is pretty delicious. Right, just like super savory. Yeah. Ugh, but does it leave like... Adam swears by it. Dude, I'm all in on bone marrow. Pizza, pizza. I want to start a restaurant and it's just...
Cane's chicken wings and bone marrow. That's the only thing I'm going to add to the menu. Chicken bone marrow. Is that a thing? Can you get chicken bone marrow? I feel like it's always. Yeah, what about cracking little chicken bones and sucking that up? I'm sure you could find it. Chicken tenders. Excuse me. I said chicken wings. I sent you guys a picture the other day of me going to Cane's and man, it was packed. Oh my gosh. Burbank. Be careful what you wish for. Dude, we blew it. We did blow it. We blew it.
Right at the... That was episode five, maybe. I went all in on Canes. I was saying we should have got a franchise. And then when they finally came to LA, they took it over, dude. Too much so. You know who opened it, right? Nope. These two writers from SNL. No, they did not. Son of a bitch. And the joke there is that...
Someone listening to the pod took the idea. Be careful what you wish for because fucking Cain's like, no, I won't. You better because Cain's came to the block and the block is fucked now.
There's so many cars in the street. Like Burbank is like locked down. Oh, Blake. I'm so sorry, dude. Wait. Oh, so this is like problematic for you? Yeah. The Canes traffic is problematic for my guy, Blake? What's up, dude? Yes. Talk to me. Traffic at an all-time high. They got the drive-thru spilling into the street. They have armed guards. Yeah, dude. What's up with that? Why do they feel the need they have to have armed guards? Because people fight over the food and they got to be like, drop it. Or losing their minds over some Canes. What?
They're Caniacs. Blake, have you done the drive-thru? They really are Caniacs. Have you done the drive-thru? No, that's like a three-hour wait. So you've never done the drive-thru? No. What do you do? You walk in? You walk over? Yes. What, you park somewhere else and then walk to it? So you've been to the Canes, so you're saying that you like the Canes. Oh, absolutely. No, actually, it's a mess. It's a mess. The drive-thru is super confusing. The first time I went through, I was like, am I going
Left or am I going right? I didn't know what I was doing. They have so many customers that the inside is like disgusting. It's like a frat house. There's fucking chicken wings everywhere. Or sorry, tenders all over. Like they're always running out of... You better chill. You're not going to get that love. They're running out of ice. I'm saying we need...
all hands on deck over there. Oh, that's actually a problem. That actually makes me upset when there's no ice in the machine. That actually makes me fucking pissed off, dude. Dude, but they got that good ice, though. Yeah, they pride themselves on their ice because they have the cool, like, the power of their little pebble ice.
Oh my fucking god. I love those pellets, dude. With some root beer? Oh, dude. Yeah, get yourself a machine. I got a machine. You got a small pellet machine? Oh, yeah. Okay, Rick Caruso. Shit, bro. Ballin'. An ice pellet machine or like a fridge? The freezer. That's all it makes is the little tiny pebble ice. Wow. How did you manage that? You can...
Well, we earned money. He got hooked up at a store where he gave them money. I gave them money and got hooked up. Oh.
with this sick freezer. So I took the money that I earned from acting or doing the podcast and then I bought a thing. Oh, okay. I thought it was the fridge. It's not the fridge? Is it the freezer, I mean? No, no, no. It's a freezer and that's all it does is make the tiny cube dice, which is the best investment that I've ever made. Oh my God, it just does that. It's a flex.
It's not just crushed ice, right? It's tiny pellets. It's tiny little...
Like that. Yeah. The size of a, I guess, smaller than a dime. Right. And if you put root beer in it, the root beer tastes hella good. Oh, yeah, dude. Any drink I find. Any beer. But root beer, root beer like is on top. Weirdly, Kyle, I'm with you. I know exactly what you're talking about. Well, if you're going to say, I'll also say RC Cola goes very well with that ice. RC Cola? Sure. Blake, now that you're reaching. What? Yeah.
Blake, motherfucker, when was the last time you had an RC Cola? Probably at the bowling alley. Oh, is that what I'm thinking of? I didn't say where. I didn't say where. 1995. Well, you should know I'm at the bowling alley a lot, so very recently. Okay, dope. Yeah, when? How long ago? He's doing the math. Like this year? Eddie, you could just lie because we straight up don't know, but have you been within a year?
Yes. Yeah, okay. No. He's like, hold up. No, yeah. I was going a lot. Hey, I think I had an RC this year too, you fucking dumbass. Yeah, RC. I think I had one this year. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever had an RC Cola. Are they delicious? With that ice, with combo with the crunchy ice. Okay, so you're saying I got to get some for the house. They're okay. Got to get some RC Colas. Get an RC Cola machine.
It's not, it's no room. Oh, Kyle's pissed now. Kyle's fucking pissed. So Kyle just left. Yeah. I'm pissed now. He's probably going to get an RC Cola right now. Oh boy. I would hope so. Is this a drawer of ice kind of thing? No, it's a, it's like a little, it looks like a little. It spits it out. No, it looks like a cabinet that you open up. It's like a door. And then you just scoop it and put it in your. Fuck yeah.
How long does it take to make that ice? It's always making it, dude. It's always making and melting and waiting for me. But if you emptied it out, you had a party, you emptied it out, you needed to put the bin back in, how long are we talking? Like an hour or so. It cranks it pretty fast. Ice talk.
Who cares? Man. Yeah. I feel like a bozo. Dude, I wonder. Dude, after we talked, we did luggage talk last week. Yeah. I was talking Ramona. My Instagram, I got on it after we were done potting with so many luggage sponsored ads.
Oh, you're thinking that episode is listening. It aired? That episode aired? No, it was just after we were done talking about it. Oh, weird. It heard us talking. It was fucking insane. And normally I'm like, because my sister explains she works for Facebook and she's like, they say that they don't listen. It's because... Wait, wait.
Yeah. And there, and it's true. And they, yeah. And it's true. No, she says that they don't listen, but, but the algorithm is so smart that if, uh, for instance, I, uh,
A buddy of mine works for some clothing company that I've never heard of, a men's clothing company. And I was at a bar and I was talking with him and then about like, oh, where do you work? Oh, cool. You know, that's interesting. Right. Cut to the later that night, I'm on my phone and I'm getting sponsored ads for his company. And it's because our phones were in close proximity together for so long. And he looks it up a bunch on his phone. And so you guys are in proximity. So it leaped to your phone.
Wait, what? Really? This shit is leaping? No way. My phone was in close proximity. So that's why I'm getting all that weird porno. Yeah, that's why. That's what you're explaining to your girl. I don't know. I must have been near someone that was looking at weird porno and it leapt to my phone. I was at Cane's in the drive-thru.
That's why I'm getting all the stepdad porno stuff that's coming. I'm like, what is going on here? Well, I don't know if it's porno specific. I know I was talking Facebook and they own Instagram. You don't think they own Pornhub? How is it leaping? The weird thing is, is I wasn't, our phones weren't close to each other. We do this over Zoom. I think they were listening. No, they're listening. It's not a leaping. Water trash. That's what my sister says that they don't, that they do not listen. It's the algorithm. Right.
Right. And knows your needs before you know your needs. So the algorithm is listening? Sounds like they got to her. Yeah, man. For sure. Because it certainly seems like they're listening. Yeah. Right? But I guess not. Did you go get an RC Cola or where'd you bounce to? Yeah, that was weird. Oh, dude, my computer was about to fucking die, so I had to go get a... Very true. It was very interesting. I had to go get a... Yeah. Yeah.
Speaking of algorithms, on YouTube the other day, right under the video I was watching, it was like a click here ad kind of thing that just was a rainbow flag and said, are you gay? And I was like...
I was like, why are they asking me? And then I was like, I'm not. So I don't even need to click on it. If you click on it, you might be right. Because you want to know if you are. But if you know that you're not, you're like, I'm not. And you don't click. But I was like, what is this? Wait, are you gay? Can you frame? Yeah.
Do your parents know you're gay? Is this you coming out? That's totally cool. That's an old joke. I don't understand. I know the rollerblading joke. Did your parents ever ask you if you were gay when you were a kid? This is what I was thinking about. Parents aren't asking Gen Z this, so their phones are asking them the question. That's fucking heavy. I remember I didn't have... I was in like...
the seventh grade or something and I didn't have a girlfriend because I'm a crippled seventh grader right and my mom is like if if you're gay you can it's totally fine we would love you no matter what and it would be perfectly fine if you came out and I'm like what
A crippled seven. Yeah, but that's good. I mean, it was great. It was great that she's like that. That's good that your mom did that. Why did you react that way? It was weird. She didn't catch me kissing my buddy or anything. It was a weird thing at that age. Wait to ask if your kids are in high school if they're gay. Or do it on their birthday every year.
Every year. I don't know how... Right before they open the first present at Christmas, you go, well, hang on a second. Real quick. Before you open that. And it's totally fine. There you go. Here you go. This one's from your uncle. Yeah, you have a specific order you like to give the guest or the kid. It's like, well, I got to know the answer first. It's going to depend which one I give you first. I'm right. I'm right. I don't know what you're talking about. Popcorn. That's tight. Popcorn. What are you saying? There's like...
Oh, never mind. They open him in a certain order. I'm not saying dumb shit today, bro. Oh, shit. Too late. It's all good. Bails are tight. When you were growing up, your parents delved out the gifts and you...
Well, in certain order. They want to save the biggest gift for the end. So you don't open up. You get the Sega Genesis or whatever. And you're like, you don't give a shit about any of the other presents. Right. They're not going to let you open up Bomberman, the video game, before they've given you the Super Nintendo. Because that would spoil the other game. Or, actually, I don't know. I think it would be better to go the other way. I think you give the video games. Why do I? I don't even have a...
Wait, what's in that big box? I guess it depends on how dumb your kid is. Yeah, if he can't put two and two together. Well, no, but that's just a storytelling technique. That's just fun. Yeah, that's just fun. You're like, why would you? Wait, but dad, these didn't even come with any remotes. And you're like, oh, my dude, check in the stocking. There's two more little tabby boxes over there. Hold up.
That is dope storytelling. That is so sick. Storytelling, it is. Yeah, you're right. I take it back. Epic storytelling. It builds anticipation. Otherwise, you're just getting the big Sega Gen. Why'd you get me an RC Cola? We don't even have one of those crunchy ice machines. Wait, what's that thing? We're going to get you one.
Wait a second. That's just a cabinet. That's just a door. Yeah, that's how my parents framed most of the big gifts. That's just a silver door that I've never seen before. Open it up. Okay, there's nothing in it. Hard water. Where's my root beer? Well. Check your stocking. Act three. Go check your stocking.
Man, what a story. Are there any take-backs, apologies, epic slams, sick giveaways? Yeah. Dead ringers. If I said anything dumb, I want to take it back because this was the episode where I didn't say anything dumb. I don't think I did. If any of the producers heard me say anything dumb, if we could just scratch that, that would be sick. Thank you. You know what? I feel like this is going to air right after the holidays. Yeah.
Yes. And I hope everybody had a good holiday out there. I also hope everyone had a good holiday. And we're thankful for everyone listening. Thank you so much. What a gift. I hope your gift order upon opening was fun and a good story. Hey, like and subscribe, guys. We're on YouTube.
