Oh, does it? Underneath? Yeah. Okay, so it's the Icon edition. I think this is the second wave of wrap snacks chips because there was a first generation Icon.

Yeah. But, you know, those rappers have kind of, like, nobody wants to eat Mac 10 chips anymore. Hey, speak for yourself, man. Wow. That's true. I mean, I'm a big West Side Connection fan.

Do you remember back in the day when there was the 7-Eleven down the street from our house and we would take fun little walkabouts and the four of us would get together and take a fun little walkabout and walk down to the 7-Eleven and get ourselves some...

energy Slurpees. Yeah, those absolutely where was your guys 7-eleven? I remember your am/pm the 7-eleven was at the Packard house down on like Packard and Hauser copy that Yeah, I used to save up quarters just to snap on a big gulp. Oh me Kyle and Blake used to live at this house that directly across the street There was this cool dude named G money the man who uh

Who's just the fucking best? He was dope. He ran a car wash out of his garage. And he did great, great work. Honestly, great work. I had the Ford Focus washed there multiple times. Detail. You did it multiple times? Oh, yeah, dude. How much did that cost? That was when I treated myself to that kind of stuff. Oh.

Wow. Now I don't. Now you don't? Now you have five cars and you don't treat yourself to that. That's my Saturday morning washing them. Oh, gosh. Yeah, nice. Yeah. No, he was relatively priced well. I think he gave me a neighbor discount. It was like 20 bucks, something like that. No vacuum, though. No vacuum. Oh. Yeah, he doesn't get inside unless it's to put a brick of cocaine in there for you. Hello. That was the special. That was the special. Oh, I never even thought about that.

Do you remember right around the corner at that place we used to eat called Lucy's? Yes. It was like a Mexican restaurant, but we get cheeseburgers there for like three bucks. So badass. Good call. I think there's a bunch of Lucy's. They all have numbers, like Lucy's number 21, 22, something like that. Is that right? Yeah, there's a handful of Lucy's out there. I just remember they gave me...

And that's it. All right. He teed it up. They gave me diarrhea. That neighborhood was cool. I saw my first dead body in that neighborhood. I saw it in the Domino's parking lot.

Like, was it a dead person or a murdered person? I don't know what it was exactly, but it was a body, and they were in the process of covering up with a sheet when I drove past. And then I stopped and got out of my car and stared for a little bit because...

I'm a rubbernecker. Yeah. Well, you're a stop and pull over and go peek under the fucking sheet guy. I was like, let me see the bondy. The dude likes to help, man. The guy is neighborhood watch over here. I am, dude. Yeah. Sorry, Jersey. Move over. There's a new neighborhood watch in town. That's fine. I remember that was the inspiration for the character trait that my character took. I appreciate it.

Gondor's Holmvik. Beautiful. Yeah, that neighborhood rocked, man. The 7-Eleven was right there. Yeah, that ruled. G-Money had a necklace, if I remember right, with a G on it with the slashes to make it look like it was a money symbol. Like a G with two vertical lines going through it? With two vertical lines going down through it. That's tight. Yeah, that's hard. And he goes by G-Money. It was pretty cool. And he would always watch us. We would film our...

hilarious comedy videos, mail order comedy.com. And we would, uh, film the videos. And then when we went to move, it was an awesome thing where he came up to us and he was like, y'all, y'all moving. And we're like, yeah, man. Uh, you know, we're getting it. We're going to move to the Valley, get a bigger place. And he goes, y'all. So, uh, good luck with your videos. And we're like, Oh, thanks. And he goes, I guess I'll be seeing y'all on Broadway. Yeah, not yet. Yup. And we were all like,

What? Because he for sure thought we were musical theater students because we were always in costume and singing songs. Just song and dance, man. That's also why Blake said I thought it was Broadway or bust in that song that we played. That's true. That was a reference to G-Money. I thought it was Broadway. Yeah. I thought it was. And Adam, what happened when you went back driving...

through the neighborhood and saw him like several years later. Oh, yeah. That was probably only like maybe two years ago. And I drove past and I was like, gee money. And he looked at me like he was about to fucking murder me. Just had no recollection. Zero recollection on his face. It was just like...

"How do you know me? Keep it moving, motherfucker." Right. Yeah. It was not proper. He was still washing cars though. I'm like, "He must have a good business." Yeah. Remember the type of cars that would roll through too? Hella nice. Yeah, there would be like Rolls Royce Phantoms and shit. Like really nice cars. Awesome motorcycles too. I mean, G-Money, name you can trust. Yeah, yeah. G-Money. He's G-Money.

I'm telling you, you did a great job. You washed the focus right up, man. Blake, didn't you get, like, you got your stuff stolen and he, like, got it back for you or something? Yeah, that's right. I had, like, you know, a Ford Escape, but I had a nice sound system in it. Right.

You have to. Yeah, we had a big trunk rattler in the back. By the way, that Ford Escape, that wasn't like an old, that wasn't like a beater. That was a pretty nice, newer Ford Escape. New car, yeah. Yeah, it wasn't like, the engine was not big or anything, but the

It sounded good. Kyle always taught me that. Hey, you could escape. Gotta have the thumps in the trunk. Yeah. It doesn't matter how your car runs if you got a good system. Dude, yeah. You gotta be bumping. That whoop whoop. I also think that's just our generation. I don't think 20-year-old kids are soupy just because car stereo speakers are just pretty good now. Yes. They've come a long way. Yes. Yes. It used to truly suck when we were kids...

When we were kids, they like... The cassette player would skip. Yeah.

They truly sucked. So you had to put in your two 15-inch sub-wompers in the back. I definitely went through the phase of just loading up the trunk with 12s and 14s and stuff and just connecting as much as possible. But I did find that the music sounded so good with just two 8s. There you go, two 8s. Two 8s. Sure. I'm a stock guy myself. I appreciate the effort that they put in at General Motors.

Wait, so you had a woofer in your trunk, and then? Yeah, I had it in the back of the trunk, and yeah, one day it came out, and the back window was broke out, and it was like, oh man, somebody stole my shit. That's not exactly right. I thought, didn't you guys hear it happening, and then you got your katana out, and- Oh my god, I kind of remember that. Don't skip over the big meat of the story. Well, to be fair, Adam, I have completely blocked this out, because it was very-

scary and sad for me. Well, what happened was it was happening right outside my window and I'm such a heavy sleeper that I didn't wake up for any of this. And then the next morning you guys were like, well, Jesus, I can't believe you slept through all that. And I'm like, why? What happened? And you're like, I almost murdered someone with a katana sword last night. I'm like, what? With my decorative katana blade. Yeah, full disclosure, I almost murdered someone with a katana blade means I pulled it off the wall and watched him steal my son. Yeah.

That blade was unsharpened for sure. Didn't even open the door and give like a, get out of here. No, it was more like a, woo, woo, woo, woo. Oh, so he was like, yo. He thinks there's like a cowardly dog locked inside the house. Blake, is that when the dude picked up the piece of tan bark and pretended he was on the phone? Yes, man. Well, he was a total tweaker. Right. But that's why...

I mean, like, yeah, pretend he was, like, talking on a piece of tan bark because he came back because he couldn't get the speaker through the window. It was too big. You had to open it. Yeah, there was too much bass in there, baby. So then he walked away and pretended he was on the phone while talking to a piece of tan bark, which is just wood, and then walked back and paced back and forth. He used to make it a quick call. Yeah. How does he do this? Yeah, so basically we, you know, we're like,

went across the street like, Mr. G Money, sir, will you help us? He's like, oh, I'll take care of this. Wait, I'm sorry, but did he get, was stuff stolen? This is the worst, this has the potential to be the greatest story in our podcast history. I know, I'm setting up the story and Blake just keeps bulldozing right past all that. I don't want to talk about it.

Can we change the subject? I mean, you're like, and now we're here. You don't want to talk about something that happened 15 solid 15 years ago? Adam, what's your version of the story? Because I truly don't remember this. Because Blake was just like, yeah, he couldn't get it out. So then he was talking on Tan Bark. Yeah, man. And then I talked to Jay Money and he said, he'll get it back. I'm like, so wait, did someone actually steal something? No, nothing was taken.

but my window was broken. So then what is G money talking about? He just set the bro straight. G money must've been the guy that came out, right? He must've been like, stop. No, no, no, no. Hang the fuck on. This is so bad. He stole that. Something was stolen from your car. No, he couldn't get it out. He broke a window. Oh, what was it then? Then when someone stole something from us and G money came and he's like, uh,

yo, I'll get it back for you. Not in my neighborhood. No, that was, you're getting some stories. That was, no, this is not the same story. This is the story when we were playing, we bowling and having some cocktails and smoking resin balls, the good old days with a fucking knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. And we were like,

who the fuck is coming over? And it was the lady who came into our house and we were like, what happened? And she was like, I just got robbed. They took my laptop at gunpoint at sawed off shotgun point. Right? Yeah. And we were fucking high out of our minds playing. We bowling and we golf. And we were like, get in here, come in here, have a beer, like just chill out. What's up. And,

And we just kind of locked the door and like watched. And that's probably when we pulled the katana off the fucking wall. And we're serious, like, because we're like, we're going to protect you. We are very, we're warriors. We will protect you. It's a good thing you guys had that sword. Yeah, it was everything. It seems like it came in handy a bunch.

Yeah. It was a decorative blade. And then the next, like after that, she left, she went back to her car and then somehow G Money figured out about it and he was like, not in my neighborhood. If I find the motherfucker who did this, I'm going to bury him. Allegedly. And it was like, whoa. And then a sawed off shotgun fell out of his pants. Yeah. And

And then he was cleaning a sawed-off shotgun. Allegedly. I also clean guns. This is a car. Allegedly. Those were the good old days. That's good, though. You want that dude in the neighborhood to be like, I'm watching. Hell yeah. I remember the one time that I made him mad because we got drunk one night and Adam had an old pair of Air Force Ones and we're like,

dude, it would be hella funny if we just throw them up on the telephone wires and hang them there. So funny, dude. Yeah, funniest joke. What a hilarious joke. You still got it. We saw it in a Nelly video or something. And then the next morning we came out and they were down and G-Money basically was like, don't do that again. It doesn't mean what you think it means, so don't do it. And we're like, okay, yes, sir. It means old shoes, right? Yeah.

Yeah, that's what you do with the old ones. I still don't know what that means exactly. I don't either. No, I dare not ask. I thought it meant somebody got killed there and you take their shoes off and you chuck them up on the wires. That could be. See, and now we know. Shit. Thank you, Dersy. You're the G-Money of our crew, Ders. Yeah. Hey, let me tell you, on the country club golf course when I was growing up, there were just a few shoes in the trees. Definitely not something to joke about. I apologize.

I apologize for that. You're doing just let's hold off on the take backs and apologies. You got to save that apology. You can't be dropping that apology this quickly. That's you got to save that for the end. My man, we've got a format. I apologize for apologizing early. Like, well, you just fucked up again. Well, I'm going to have more. So just don't worry. I'm sorry for damn near everything I do. You're still doing it. I hate my life.

I remember right after we signed the lease, I go, well, why is it seems like there's a lot of old homes in this neighborhood, but our house is like a brand new house. It was like a prefab brand new house. Yeah. And I'm like, why is that? And they're like, well, it was the house that was here before was burnt down. Oh, it exploded. Yeah.

Huh? No, I think it was burnt down in the riots and it was just like a smoldering trash heap for like a solid like 15 years and then we moved in. Not like a meth bathtub explosion? No, I don't think so. That'd be sick. It was dope though. That place was cool. That's on a lot. That's the backdrop for a lot. That's the backdrop for our startup for sure. Like all the sketches. One more time. Meth to bath.

That's the backdrop for our startup for all of our like early sketches. Like we're shot in that house. Is there like a plaque outside there? It should be. We should go put one. It should be. Dude, every time you drove up the driveway, you'd scrape the shit out of your car. Like no matter what you were driving.

It was so annoying too because it was just a single driveway. So there was four of us living there. Tandem. Tandem. Parking's the worst when you have roommates. Yeah. Luckily I never had a job where I had to leave in the morning. It was a lot of you guys having to be like, Adam, just give me your keys.

Blake, do you remember when you were like, when you're like, okay, I got to go to work at BJ's and I had to back my car out and I was going slow because it was a blind driveway and you just kind of went at whatever speed you felt like it and just hit my car straight up. Backed right into you. Well, I was nervous. I thought I was going to be late to work and you know me, I'm a number one worker. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. We were all just going to say that. Exactly. Number one worker. Tip of the tongue. Oh, you did have your hair all tucked in at that point because you were supposed to get a haircut at BJ's, but you refused to get a haircut. BJ's had a rule, which was extremely sexist, that men...

its hair couldn't touch their shoulders and they couldn't have like ponytails either. Men couldn't have sexy flowing long luscious locks. But if you're a woman you can let it rock? You could just let it... Yep. You could have a ponytail but men couldn't. Whoa. Now was there any sort of rule against how long your pubic hair could be? Uh,

I think it got to a point where I was spoken to, yeah. Yeah. And you shaved it because number one worker. It's hanging off the bottom of your shorts. They're like, okay. So what was your solution? Because, Blake, you had just grown your hair down to your shoulders. Yeah, so I wasn't quite ready to cut my hair because I was starting to book those Starbucks hands commercials. And so...

I decided every shift to wake up about a half hour early and bobby pin it up. So it kind of looked like I was rocking like a... But not up. No, fold it in. Yeah. He folded it underneath. So it looked like a big mushroom. You looked absolutely insane. I looked like James Madison.

The president. Yeah, you do look like it was a powdered wig. We have to post that on the pod important Instagram. I'll try to look for those pictures. You did it in an episode, no? Right? Yeah, I did. Yeah. I can't remember which one. Oh, man. How humiliating. And I was delivering to sororities and stuff. I felt like a damn fool.

Yeah. That was the dude who backed into me full bore and just poked his head out of the car. I was like, sorry. Oh, my God. I'm bad. Sorry, brother. I was shook, man. I was shook. I was shook.

Blake, you're the worst driver ever, right? Yeah.

Me? Yeah, you're bad, right? I have a good record. I have an excellent driving record. But like, if you're ever like, hey, we're leaving from the same place. I'll meet you at this other place in 10 minutes because it takes 10 minutes to get there. You'll be there in 25 minutes, correct? If we're talking about my sense of direction and how fast I drive, yes, I'm cautious and I never know where I'm going. Yeah. Yes, yes.

It's the second part there. Yeah, I'd say Blakey drives like an elderly woman. Yeah, right. Like a little old lady. I'm not a pedal to the metal guy. But you're also like, I feel like I've seen you just be like, I can imagine you just going past your exit and being like, that was the exit.

Oh, yeah, that happens a lot. I'm just going to keep going. And whoop, that was another exit. Well, you'd think it wouldn't happen because you go so goddamn slow. You'd think you'd see it coming. Yeah, if you're cautious, you're like, what was that sign? I mean, that's happened multiple times when we're going to shoot at a location or something and we're like, oh, we're just all going to drive ourselves. It'll take 10 minutes to get there and we'll just sort of follow each other and get there. And then all of a sudden you just see Blake just turn. Yeah.

Just take a turn and you're like, well, none of us are taking that turn. Taking the safer route. Yeah. Don't get on the freeway. My GPS says there's a pothole. What is that? Yeah. How did you get by while you were delivery driving? Like, how did you? That's my concern. Right. Guys, this was the time of MapQuest, okay? The pizza, I know, but the pizza never got there on time, did it? No.

I mean, I got tips. The tips don't lie. Well, tips are mandatory. Not at UCLA. Do you have the guts to double park and run up in? Or were you like, I don't want to do that. I'm just going to look for a spot. I will say when I was delivering pizzas, I lost the safety side of me. I would pull some maneuvers. It was a very frustrating job. It drove me insane. Yeah. For sure. It's not an easy job. Brink of tears. So I guess I didn't remember how...

What a bad driver you were. Not a bad driver. Not a bad driver. No, not bad. Well, pretty bad. Just shouldn't be driving. Pretty bad if you're trying to get from A to B in a timely manner. Like bad if you're... Yes, bad at getting somewhere with any sort of timely fashion. Any kind of clock or direction. I mean, Blake just came and visited me in Orange County and drove to the wrong city.

That's true. Really? So, yes, went to a completely different beach town that I don't live in. That's true. Which beach town did you end up going to? He went to Huntington Beach. Yes. Uh-huh. Is that how we're saying it now? We say Huntington? Huntington? Huntington? Huntington? Huntington?

I don't know. I live down the street. I just want to know what it's called. If you want to know what my thinking was behind that, it's like I didn't want to text Adam for like the hundredth time, like, what's your address? So I just put in a location that I know is near him. It's a restaurant. It just so happens that there's more than one of those. Of course there is. So I pulled up to...

I didn't know it was a chain, man. Oh, I see. Yeah. But you do know what town he lives in. I do, yes. Yeah. So that should have, yeah, some alarms should have gone off in my head. That should have rang your bell. Maybe a little. And you also grew, like you spend a fair amount of time in Orange County. So when you're getting off the freeway and going to like Huntington Beach, you know that this is not on the way to Adam. Yes. Yeah.

And by the way, so, but hang on, but also, once you get to the restaurant in Huntington or even in where he lives, you're going to have to text him for the address anyway. Well, then, no, then things start to trigger. Then he was thinking he was going to vibe it out. Yeah, then I vibe it out. I suss it out and I vibe. For sure, I would have just sent you the address like really quickly, just without even thinking twice. I would have just blasted it over to you. Yeah.

Also, just scroll up in the text chain. It's there. I tried. I tried that. Trust me. And I scrolled for a while. Where'd it go? Did he delete your text chains? Are you one of those guys? Well, I lose my phones. They get wet. Well, he's embarrassed of all the hot sexual texts me and Blake throw at each other. Yeah. Embarrassed for himself to go back and relive it. Exactly. Well, he didn't want his girl to see all these hot sexual texts.

Oh, right. She was watching. It was like on the dash or something. Yeah. It's connected via Bluetooth. All those are going to pop up. Purple horny emojis. A lot of squirt emojis. Who are you texting? Who are you texting? Wet, wet, juicy vagina.

We got to get that on the fucking soundboard. When I asked you to do the bad ideas episode, um, that show I did for Quibi and I asked you to do the car racing. Yes. That would, you were, you were probably the worst person that I could have asked to do the car racing. Well,

It was a demolition derby. Admittedly, it was probably the most dangerous thing that I did. And me and Durs swam with our dicks out in the Amazon River. Well, yeah. Hey, I don't know, Adam. We drove pretty dang close to some freaking cliffs.

We did drive pretty dang close to some freaking cliffs. Yeah, so I don't know. I mean, that would freak me out, the cliff thing. The thing is, is I don't know how to drive a stick shift, but I do enjoy racing. I find that very fun. Do any of you guys know how to drive a stick shift? Can we just talk about man shit here for a second?

I know some women who can freaking whip a stick. Okay, that's a little... Let me rephrase that. Can we just talk? Okay, you're right. I'm wrong. I will save that for later. I'm saving it for later. Come on, Tim Allen. I'm not the double down kind of a guy. I float through. Kyle the tool man. I float through. It's a take back. Save it.

I do not know how to drive stick, and I will probably never learn unless there's a job. I had to learn when me and Durs, we did a thing for the Bad Ideas show where we took an ice cream truck, which essentially was just a truck that we put coolers of ice cream in the back of the truck.

Yeah.

Like the day before in the parking lot of the hotel that we were staying in. And, you know, wasn't very good at it. Wasn't very successful. No, no. The car was in the parking brake on the whole time. Yeah. I left a parking brake on the entire time. And we're like, why is it stink like this? I don't know. Peruvian cars. We don't know how they work. Burning it up. It just reeked. We just totally fucked this guy's car up. And then we gave him like $400 and he's like, thank you.

This will be a new car. This truck sucks. Both you and Blake know how to drive motorcycles, which is kind of, that's the same idea as a stick. You're driving a clutch. Yeah. Clutch car. So you kind of got the idea there. I would love to jump in on the motorcycle thing. Yeah, let's do it. Are we still on the stick thing? Well, I know I have something else because I know you, I mean, go.

Go ahead, Anders. Go stick. Go stick. No, stick is like, I just was giving them credit because they know the clutch, at least the clutch mentality, which is really what it's about, how an engine operates. That's what my father made me learn on, and that's why I call it man shit. And that's, what is that, man shit, Kyle?

That's why I call it man shit because of my father, because he said, you must learn on a stick. And I said, okay, daddy. Hey, I don't disagree with that. Daddy. Well, why don't you cry about saddlebags? I got one, but yeah, let's talk motorcycles. So like, what was it? Season three or four that you guys got motorcycles, but Blake got had his first. And then I bought it. I bought mine, uh, maybe a year or so after Blake got his, um,

What kind of making models are we talking? Yeah. I got a Harley right out the gate. It was crazy. It was my first motorcycle. It was a terrible decision. Yeah, I got a Triumph 900. It was a souped-up bad bitch, and I really thought it was fucking cool. But I live...

My house was in the Hollywood Hills, so I couldn't learn. I couldn't get in and out of my neighborhood. Right. It's tough. If I was able to roll my way down this cliff, then I could actually drive it on the flatlands pretty easily. That I could do. But I've dropped it so many times. And every time you drop a motorcycle, it's a goddamn thing.

thousand dollars of bullshit that you gotta fix because the clutch will pop off and, you know, all the shit will break that they're like, you don't know how to fix it because you're a fucking idiot because you don't know, as Kyle would say, man shit. Man shit. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry about it. Yeah, I'm saving it, but yeah. So I ended up, I don't have it anymore, but I...

You don't have it? You got rid of it? I got rid of it. Yeah, I sold it for like nothing, for like $0. Okay. All right. That was going to be my question is what y'all doing with it and can I get it? I have one. I'm going to take yours. So I remember one of the first times I dropped it, I was going down the side of the cliff in my neighborhood. You have to take like a hairpin turn to get out of the neighborhood. Yeah, gnarly, gnarly downhill hairpins. Yeah. And...

I just kind of lost control of the bike. It wasn't... There was nothing there. There was nothing in front of me. And there was guys working construction on this house right here. And I like...

I'm going to just drive into this bush. So I put the bike down real quick, you know, like an idiot. And I'm just like fall. And I like skid down the hill a little bit and I get up and I'm so embarrassed that I just dropped my expensive ass motorcycle just on the ground. It's going to be another fucking thousand dollars that I got to pay for this thing to get fixed. And I'm like,

By the way, I'm a half block away from my home. I didn't get out of the neighborhood. And I was so embarrassed that all these guys saw and they're like, oh, is that you okay? And I look into the bush and go, fucking squirrels. Oh, man. Yeah, been there, brother. As if a squirrel came out and I'm such a good guy that I don't want to hit a squirrel. So I throw my motorcycle to the ground. Well, the coolest thing...

the only cool thing about falling off your motorcycle is that as soon as it happens, as soon as you drop your bike, you instantly get this embarrassment strength where you can just lift a thousand pounds. No problem. Like you just lift your bike up and these things are heavy as fuck. You're so embarrassed. And you're just like, I'm cool. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm on the side of a cliff. It's, it's, it's, you know, it's like an 800 pound motorcycle. And I'm like, no,

No problem. Just no problem. You get home, your back just seizes up. It's like, God damn. That was the most fun when you guys had those motorcycles and you'd come into the writer's room and talk about your trials. How terrifying it was riding in. Yeah, and it's just like, why do you have these things? Because I had three of the best rides of my life, man.

How many times did you ride it, Blake? About three to four times. Seriously? Yeah. Adam, like a dozen? Yeah, I probably took it out about a dozen times, but I crashed five times.

five times like it was almost a 50 crash rate for me getting in and out of my neighborhood and finally i it was the last time i did it uh i i was shooting the movie why him and i was in a scene with uh franco and brian cranston and we're standing around this table and we're talking and all of a sudden my leg seized up and and i made this like face i was like

Because it was like the most pain that I've experienced. Like a charley horse sensation? Yeah, it felt just like my, yeah, just like seized up. Like the muscles were like? Yeah, it was like something was like grabbing me like a python had wrapped around my leg and just was squeezing the shit out of me. That's Franco. That was Franco's python. You know he's got a hog. Yeah.

And then Brian Cranston goes, I'm sorry. That's either, either you're in a lot of pain or that's the most insane character choice I've ever seen in my life. As if my character is just making some fucking bizarro face. And I'm like, ah, my fucking leg. I'm so sorry, guys. I don't know what happened. And I peel up my, my pants and I, I, I guess I didn't look on the back of my, I, uh,

Two days before this, over the weekend, I was driving my motorcycle and same hairpin turn and I'm just going up this time and I have to take this hard left in order to not drive off a cliff. And so I'm going to take this hard left

And I eat shit once again. And I'm going to pick up the motorcycle, but it's heavy as fuck. So you really got to throw your body weight into it. And I just put my entire leg against the tailpipe, but I was hit by the cement truck, so I can't feel my skin.

So like, I can't feel hot and cold. I can only feel pressure. I can't feel if my skin is just boiling off. And you were sizzling. It was fully sizzling against the, the exhaust pipe. Yeah. And so I just seared the shit out of my leg. And, uh,

It's on the back of my leg, so I'm like, when I wash my body, I don't inspect the back of my legs. I just sort of go over it with my fucking loofah. Right. Yeah, I treat myself. Yeah, I loofah up. Is that some man shit, my brother? The loofahs?

Loofahs are actually full of bacteria. I would not suggest them. They sit there and they collect so much. Okay, thank you, Dr. Nuiček. Well, I rub my open wounds with them. Yes. Yeah, I would not suggest that. So anyway, so then I go back and I'm shooting this scene and they were like...

well, you look absolutely insane. I peel my, my, uh, pants up and it's purple and blue and green. It's the most magnificent looking wound you've ever seen. And it's a, it's a beautiful piece of artwork. Uh,

And then they were like, what are you doing? You're shooting a movie. You shouldn't be driving a motorcycle. Also, you obviously don't know how to drive a motorcycle, so don't drive. You're like, you don't understand. A fucking squirrel. Yeah. You just use that for the rest of your life. After that, I was like, well, what the fuck am I doing? I'm like, I want to be an actor and do movies and shit. I'm not trying to just like...

break my fucking neck driving a motorcycle when i truly don't even know how to drive a motorcycle and then i can't do this shit that i'm actually like to do yeah everybody in la knows at least two people that have died on motorcycles it's like automatic la is a terrible place to have a motorcycle because the lifestyle is like the traffic here is so garbage that you're like oh motorcycle i'll just skirt between lanes and like everybody on a motorcycle does it

And then everyone dies. That's so freaky when I see people going in between that stuff. I just am like, what is happening? It's not legal in other states. When I first moved here, I was like, these guys are wiling the fuck out. They don't give a shit. Split lines. But it's truly, it's a legal thing that you can do here.

Yeah. It's weird because I don't think I've ever really seen, in California, I don't think I've ever seen a motorcycle taking up the space of a car. You know what I mean? Like, just being like, I'm a car. Yeah. Exactly. And the cops do it too, Chips. They fucking like stroll through and I'm like, all right, what's your big ass motorcycle? Fucking rules don't apply. Yeah. All right.

I love making room for those guys, though, because I'm like, you're not going to die on my car. You're going to die somewhere up there. The bitch fell off. The bitch fell off. Can you imagine if somebody was splitting lanes and they just hit your rear view and you're just like, whoa, and then you see them spill? Isn't that like a classic move? If they fucking hate you, they have a holster with a hammer on the fucking motorcycle and they pull it out and just hammer off your rear view? I mean, I feel like that's kind of an urban legend, but...

Like for sure. There's some dickheads. I mean, I'm sure that has been done. Yeah. I don't, I don't know if that's the go-to move, but yeah, for sure. I would do it.

and what's up i'd do it yeah i bet you would that's what i would have i would have that i'd have freaking missiles on the side in seventh or eighth grade we had this like cool ass gym t or no he wasn't even a gym teacher science teacher and he was like the teacher all the girls had a crush on and he had like a carabiner keychain that like made him seem like young and hip

And he told this story about a friend of his, and he's like, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life. He's like, I got a buddy, coolest guy you ever met, got himself a Ninja, plowed right into a bulkhead on Lakeshore Drive. He's dead. And I was like, not getting a motorcycle. Mr. McCollum doesn't want me to get it. He's got a carabiner. I'm not getting a motorcycle. You put that together, a Ninja. In my little kid brain, I would have been like, he got himself a Ninja? And then...

Well, no. Ninjas were like the hot motorcycle of the time. It was what Vanilla Ice had into the extreme, or not to the extreme. Get him. Zipping around construction sites. What was it? Cool as Ice. Cool as Ice, yeah. So we all knew what a ninja was. It was all about ninjas and sidekicks. If you had the sidekicks. Suzuki. Hello. Yeah. Wind is a factor. Got himself a ninja. Plowed right into the, it was like an off ramp or something like that. Stuck with me.

R.I.P. Yeah. I remember that was the story of motorcycles. It's not if you're going to have to lay it down. It's when you're going to have to lay it down. Which is why they're so fucking cool because they're dangerous. Yeah. And it's like, so every time you get on it, it's a death wish, man. Like you're just like, well, not me. Yeah. Ride to live. I always figured I always figured if I was going like on a motorcycle and I had to lay it down, I would ride.

but I would lay it down and then get on top of it and surf it. Oh, you would surf it? Yeah, I always figured that's what I would end up doing.

because I'm so agile and nimble. Yeah. You're a ninja. Yeah. You really are. Who's the ninja now? You guys really think I could do that, right? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, shit, you taught yourself to surf. Killed me much harder. Surf on a sideways motorcycle going 55 miles an hour on asphalt. That's true. Yeah, right. That's exactly my thought. Yeah.

Right.

Guys, I was just remembering, I didn't even tell you that last week I had like one of the, an all-time life day. I had an all-time life day. I got to eat dinner, lasagna, with none other than U2's The Edge.

What? Yes. Barry the Headline? Yeah. The Edge himself? Yes, dude. Because, you know, I live on the same block as none other than Teeba Jefferson. He's the photographer of this podcast and Game Over Man and Thrasher and all that. Living legend. Right. Living legend. Love the guy. I could do a whole pod on him. Oh, my God. I love him. Oh, my God. He's so cute. We love him. Oh, my God.

Atiba. Somehow he has connections with The Edge from U2. Of course he does. He's a huge U2 fan. Yes. He is. He is. Yeah, that's his band. He spreads the gospel. But just the fact that he had his greatest hero ever over to eat his homemade lasagna. Oh, at the house. At Atiba's house. Not at like Dan Tana's or something. No, we were in his backyard eating.

With the edge eating his mom's homemade lasagna, dude. It was insane. Oh, wow. That's awesome. It was absolutely insane. Were you like, have you found what you're looking for? Or have you still not found what you're looking for? I dropped so many references. Atiba kicked me out. No, it was...

It was crazy, dude. It was absolutely insane. And he was the absolute nicest dude. Him and his wife. Like, just super humble, super awesome. Yeah. And I'm saying as soon as this Covito stuff is over, we're getting backstage passes, brother. Let's go. Oh, baby. I want to get out there when he does Numb. Oh, my gosh. How crazy is that, dude? That, like, U2 is what? Like, third biggest rock band of all time, maybe? Yeah.

Like Beatles, Rolling Stones, U2, who else? Yeah, they're up there, dude. And it's crazy because they still haven't found what they're looking for. Yeah. It is crazy. Like they're still looking for it. They're still looking, yeah. The Edge has a sound that I don't think people, like you instantly recognize when it's The Edge, but I don't think he gets like the credit that like is due. I agree. Well, wasn't he in, he was in that documentary with Jack White, right? It might get loud. And he was talking about all the different, uh,

amplifications and all the different patches that he runs through and he's got his own tech that kind of gives him a sound that cannot be replicated. Well, that's what was kind of crazy because I grew up in a U2 house. My stepdad and my dad always listened to U2, but I never super deep-dived

and the album Boy is super sick, like Atiba was playing it that night, but I hadn't really dove into it much, and upon first listening, and I was getting kind of drunk, the bass lines kind of sound like

a little cure-ish so I'm like to the edge I'm like so like were you like influenced by like the cure or something and then he just kind of was like no like it was us dude like we created everything it's like just insane he's like no they like we influence them yeah like everyone you hear is us we're really old we've been around forever I

I know it doesn't seem like I'm old because I'm always wearing sunglasses and a hat. And my name is The Edge. And my name is The Edge. What is his real name? Kyle Edgerton. He's one of those brothers.

Edgerton. Yeah, Carl Edgerton. I wouldn't know. I don't call him the Edge anymore. I call him the homie. Oh, the friend. The friend. Wow, that's a downgrade in the name. Oh, gosh. What? Yeah, that's a... To him. Yeah, the Edge is way cooler than the homie. To you, it's a major upgrade, but to him, that's kind of like, I don't know. Yeah, what, do you think he's going to tell me to pause on that? Yeah.

His name is David Howell Evans. Cool name. Allegedly. That sounds like a serial killer's name. Allegedly, the Edge's name is David Howell. Yeah, that's a serial killer's name. I understand why he changed it because that is for sure a serial killer name. I will say that I do love the song Until the End of the World, I think is what it's called. And I heard it like hella late. And

And I was like, oh, this must be on like the new album. I got to listen to it and couldn't find it and had to dig way back in the crates. Yeah, they got some hits. Yeah. What's so crazy is like even in that situation, because we're all like drinking wine and

taking shots with the edge because he's Irish, so you gotta do it. Let's go. But it was like... What do you mean you gotta do it? Come on, dude. They make like... I'm still gonna send it. Hello. I'm still gonna send it. Nice. No, I mean, it's weird that you guys are drinking wine, first of all, because Atiba only just mainlines Jägermeister. Right. Jäger, right? Yeah, but you really think you're gonna convince the homie to drink Jägermeister? Yeah.

It's not happening. Convince David Howell Evans. Yeah, it's not happening, dude. Yeah, maybe. What sort of booze did you guys drink? We were just doing some Jameson, which I hadn't had in a minute. It's so delicious. Oh, yeah. It's really lovely. Night Ender. It was. That's some Irish shit. But that's what's weird is you start to, you're hanging with a literal living legend and you're starting to get tipsy. You start to ask the dumbest, I'm like asking about like the bat

man and robin soundtrack yes kiss me kill me yeah he's like no i remember he's like yeah mate have another shot and shut up you were fanning out to him in a major way and the more drunk you got the more you're like tell me about this oh my goodness how many people were over there it was just five of us it was edge his wife morley atiba and ako but ako like blacked out so he like he didn't count he peaced out kind of quick

When he woke up, were you like, dude, Bono came over? And then the blonde guy with glasses showed up and just drummed for a half hour. I was like, no way. Yeah, what is that? So you're just fanning out, but really, what else are you going to talk to him about? Yeah, fuck, whatever. Well, that's what's cool about this dude. He's been in the game for 8 million years, and he's...

a true fan of all like of rock like he's an encyclopedia all he yeah he lives music so you just talk music the whole time it was it was a fucking dream yeah that's cool that's radical did he ask to touch your hair uh no well covid so no no touching right right right oh yeah because of covid social distance party i could tell he was like he wanted to let's take a goofy picture like lay it over my head and then like it looks like i have it

They call me the hair. Just chill. Well, how did Atiba get him over? Was just like, yo, do you want to come over and eat lasagna? Well, I think they had kind of like linked up in Japan a while back. Yeah, you got to link up in Japan. Like after a show and they were at a bar together. And then somehow I think the Edge's wife was following Atiba on Instagram and Atiba posted a picture of

his mom's lasagna, which he makes, which is super bomb. And the Edge's wife was like, can we get some of that? And he was like, yeah, let's link up. Let's set up a dinner. That's how these things always work, though. It's like there's always a link up in Japan, then a picture of a mom's lasagna, and then can I get some of that? Yeah. And I think that's how The Godfather 2, they weren't going to do a sequel, but I think Coppola had...

I can't remember exactly, but Japan was in there too. I recall something about lasagna. So were you guys, you guys were listening to U2 while the Edge was over? Well, it's, as the night goes on and you get more bold, like...

Atiba's like, oh, I'm going to play you my U2 set. But it was so cool because you could tell this dude... That's pretty tight when you have someone who goes, I'm going to play you what has made me who I am based on you. It's like an honor. Oh, man. And I think in that context, the Edge must have been like, I'll tolerate it. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, it's okay. Yeah, but what's it like? I mean, okay, do you remember it or were you at the Akko level? No, dude, I was hyped. Like, what was his response? Was he like, the honor is accepted? Or was he like, this is going on a little too long? No, that's what... No, dude. No. I heard him. And it's just the hits. It's just the biggest songs that he has to play every goddamn day. Nothing from the...

Nothing from the back of the crates, just like all the front runners. Yeah, it's just with or without you. I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Yeah, he's like, just heard this on the radio over here, but okay, yeah, we can. Have you ever heard, he's like, I love this deep cut. It's called Beautiful Day. It's the sweetest thing. The joint from the Reality Bites soundtrack, I remember that being like the song that touched my soul for the first time. I was like, this shit is deep.

Dude. Whatever it was. Wait, you don't remember what it was? Can't remember. U2 to me is like college music. It's like the type of shit... Because it gets you in your feels more. And I feel like when you're like 18, 19 years old and you're just trying to figure yourself out. Yeah, sure. That's when you get all up in your feels. I feel like I was more in my feels then than...

than since ever since. And that, that to me, it makes me think of, uh, of some OCC orange coast community college days, uh,

listening to a lot of basically with or without you they're most popular songs well what's super dope is like you gotta throw in All I Want Is You from the Reality Byte soundtrack cause that shit goes well what's dope about even like early U2 that shit was like revolution rock like they were political they were trying to make a change like you put that shit on now you better be ready to change the fucking world dude

It's true. Dude. Whatever. I was just talking about, because I listen to a lot of Rage Against the Machine. I just fucking love them. Speaking of bass lines. And whatever happened to like political rock music or any type of, besides like the YG Fuck Donald Trump song, there's no, there's like no political rock music. Yeah.

There's no rock music, period, really. That's true. So Kendrick is... Speaking of which, Kendrick has a song featuring U2, which we listened to with The Edge. He was super stoked on that song. Oh! Awesome, awesome. Yeah, Kendrick is elevated. Who else makes noise? Well, I mean, Rage was just about to do Coachella, so I feel like it was leaning that way. Do-do-do-do-do-do.

I know, but I mean, yeah. And I fucking love rage against the machine, but they're like, I think I saw like a post the other day of, it was like a clip of rage against the machine that someone had posted. And then they were like, Oh, since when did they get so political? Right. And you're like, and the,

The song is like 20 years old and you're like, what? Oh, Evil Empire? Come on. Let's go. Yeah. I think I saw that. It was like, what were you listening to? What songs were you listening to and did you just have them turned off or what? Yeah. Oh, I never turned them on before. I actually never listened to them. I just love the t-shirts at Hot Topic. I thought they were sick. Yeah, they did have some sick shirts. I just like that album cover of the Dude on Fire. Fucking sick.

sick. I also really liked when he sat on the speakers at the MTV Music Awards. I thought that was a sick move. Oh, yeah. That was dope. Yeah, when he climbed up high and wouldn't come down. That was so tight. Yeah, dude. Protest, baby. Everyone didn't know what was going on. That shit was rock and roll back then. The MTV Music Awards used to be a fucking stop everything you're doing and watch that shit. 100%. We all know the one moment that changed everything. What? Fartman? Yeah.

When Sting came out of the floor for Puff Daddy doing the B.I.G. with Faith Evans and shit. Every breath you take. That was a game changer. Wait, but wasn't this also a moment? Fucking Snoop Dogg. Oh, Snoop getting out of the wheelchair. Oh, yeah. That was so good. Murder was the case. What? I thought he got shot when he came on stage in the wheelchair. I was like, wait, what? Did Tabitha Soren not give me the fucking news about this? Kurt Loder, where you at?

at and then he was walking and I was like man the theatrics dude he stood up that was crazy and he showed up to the red carpet with like his hair straightened like all like relaxed and he's just like I'm just feeling way lovely this evening and I was like oh my gosh Snoop Dogg is the coolest guy ever of all time I feel like the more recent cool moment from the music awards was when was it Borat who dropped down on Eminem and Eminem

and put his butt on Eminem's face, and Eminem was like, no, no, not cool. Yeah. He was in on that. He was like...

Yeah, my bum is on your... It wasn't Tom Green? Damn. No, they're homies, right? Legend, mate. Tom... I don't know. I just remember him not being cool with it. Maybe he was acting, but I thought it was funny. He was acting. Yeah. He's a good actor. Well, he's a great actor. Yeah, 8 Mile was fantastic. You're right. I was fooled. I was fooled. He got you. I feel like if you just... Maybe you should have lasagna with Eminem or something. I don't know. I feel like this could go down.

I'll have mom's spaghetti over lasagna. Okay, okay.

I'll eat a little mom's spaghetti. Yeah. So that's the trick to get like your favorite rock stars over to your house is just constantly be posting photos of... What's your mom's best recipe? My mom fucking sucks at cooking shit. So like, I love her. I love her. What do you mean? That's weird that you're saying that about your mom. It's a fact. It's factual. It's yeah. I don't have like, there's no outstanding dish that my mom made. Some moms can't cook. My mom, she'll agree to this. She's not a good cook. She wasn't a chef.

she makes her one thing that she does make is those pretzel sticks which are just pretzels dipped in chocolate and oh my god yes thank you those are so good it's a wonderful time of year when those come in the mail yeah but that's a dessert you're not inviting over i'm not gonna have anthony ketis over to eat pretzel sticks oh you wouldn't yeah i'm not dave grohl's not rolling through to to have a night of pretzel sticks i kind of think you could get him over there with that i

I kind of think you could. Wait, who would you guys... Okay, ready? Who would you guys want to have over for dinner? And what dish of your mother's would you serve to be like, this is my best foot forward? Oh, Jesus. My mom is not a great cook either. You can't say. You can't say.

Look at you. No, but I've had Adam's mom's food. I actually fundamentally disagree with him. I can't wait for your take backs and apologies. What specifically do you like that my mother cooks? I love her sandwiches. Oh, my God. Come on. Well, she cooks it with love. She makes things with love. It's not like she's just, you know. I think what it was about your mom's cooking, now that I think about it, is like she was just down to cook whenever. Sure. Oh.

Oh, yeah. It's not that it's overly good. It's like no matter what, we would come home at like, you know, in high school, come home at like midnight or, you know, one o'clock. My mom would wake up and be like, you guys want some steaks? Yeah. And they're like, yeah. And she would straight up cook us steaks, steak and eggs at like 1 a.m. And meanwhile, we're just high as fucking kites.

drunk as fuck and she either wouldn't acknowledge that or just act like she didn't know or maybe she didn't know. I have no idea. She was just like, I'm going to keep you guys here until you get in a car and drive home. Just throw a steak on. I think she was just stoked that we were

you know, we were home and she could feed the boys. So if your mom made a steak, who would you want to kick it with? Who would you want to have over at your house for your mom's steak? Maybe, you know, I mean, you know me. It's the entire original cast. Not the original. The...

Tom, Mark, and Travis. A frozen. A Blink-182 fame. I'm trying to have a punk rock Christmas. Oh, cast. I was like, what is he talking about? Cast. Tom. Tom Ace. He meant band. My guy's Broadway. I meant band. I'm an actor. He's Broadway or bust. I'm a Broadway boy. Is Travis Barker not in that?

No, I said Travis. I want that lineup, if you will. Yeah. Is that not who it is anymore? Or was it before that? I don't... No, it still is. It still is Travis Barker. Okay. Mark, Tom, and Travis show. That's what I want over at my house. Nice. Yeah, that would be fucking dope. Yeah, that's... Well, because you know those guys...

I've gotten to know Mark pretty well, and he's just a fucking great guy. And I'm just like, you know that those guys are silly as fuck. Very funny music videos. Taking the piss out of boy bands. Yeah, those guys are just silly. It wouldn't be too precious. You would be on edge. You'd be like, and here's... I know edge. Homie, on homie. You'd be on homie. Oh, that's true. Yeah, it's just... You'd be on homie, dude.

Yeah, I'd be like, I know I'm feeling this. I miss you. Hey, it's Adam's song. I take apple juice and just pour it on the carpet in the hall. Okay, Blake, what's up? I'm doing my mother's turkey pot pie with Stevie Wonder. Wow. Wow. All right. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. Yeah, okay. Yeah. All right, Kyle, your turn. Kyle, your turn.

Yeah, well, I went back in time because I haven't eaten at the house in a while. I think my favorite food my mom ever made was her meatloaf. Hey. Like, I loved my mama's meatloaf. That's straight up. It's so fucking good. I can see. Yeah, because we load it up with ketchup, and you just throw ketchup on top of it. So you liked ketchup. I was like,

I love that meatloaf. Like you haven't been throwing that out enough this one, man. God damn, dude. Love that meatloaf. And I don't know, cause that took me back. So then I was like, I don't know, maybe I'd ask exhibit to come over and have some meatloaf.

See, that's funny. That would be a fun story. X to the Z. Because you could talk about Pimp My Ride. You could talk about... Oh, you would, for sure. Yeah, I just have a lot that I would love to talk about, would exhibit over my mama's meatloaf. You're not going to be talking about any of his music. It's just about, like, do you think an aquarium will fit? Right, right. Hey, check out this. Can you put a

pool table in the backseat. Yeah, do you think a hot tub would actually fit? Yeah, that's a good one. Well, ask him, like, you know, say what was going through your mind when you wrote X Gonna Give It To You? Like, what was the meaning behind that? He was like, you know, I was thinking about giving it to him. I'd be like, how do you like the meatloaf? No, the record label, they kept bothering me for a song. I'm like, fine, X Gonna Give It To You. And then I was like, wait a second. See, that would be some cool insider info about

My guess for Dersi, it's the Beastie Boys. Pretty close. The person I was thinking of was Q-Tip. Yeah? Yeah.

And we would enjoy a pan of my mom's brownies. Okay, there we go. So you did the dessert when we said that you couldn't do the pretzel sticks. Well, pretzel sticks are like... Pretzel sticks are covered in chocolate. Fuck it. Let me reboot here. Okay, hang on. Time out. Are you... You're shitting on my... No, it's cool. I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. I mean, my mom made turkey pot pie. Have you had Penny Devine's pretzel sticks? I haven't. Are you asking me?

I'm asking you. Me? You, Durs. Have you had her pretzel sticks? I don't think so. Maybe on the set of Wargaholics, allegedly. Yeah, I feel like we have. Yeah, allegedly we've had those. I'm sure they're great. I guess, okay, fine. Because my mom would just make brownies constantly. It was just like a thing in our house. That's so sick. That's super dope. I love that. Lucky boy. But I guess I'll have to rock with some of those old school hard shell...

El Paso tacos. Hey, yo. Classics. With like the meat, the meat seasoning and just pick Q-tips brain with a Q-tip. Dang. That's a great call. Yeah. And just talk. That's cool. I feel like tacos are a really good chatting food as well. Tacos. That's why they're called tacos. Right. Tacos. That's good. Yeah, because you're talking while eating. I'm wondering, what if he passed on like the shell though and he was like, I'll just make a plate.

I think I'd be like, get the fuck out. Yeah, you're done. Really? I think it would bother me. I think I'd be like... Hit the road. Q-tip, it's a taco. It's not... This is not a plate situation. You're breaking my heart here. Yeah, it's not a bowl, okay? Please have a taco. Yeah, get over yourself, Q-tip. Well, what if he's like, you know, Q-tip's a little older. Maybe he's added and, you know, thrown on a few extra pounds. What if he has a taco and then for round two he comes back and he's like, for this one, I'm just going to bowl it up.

Would you then? No, because here's the thing. Because he had the taco. But here's the thing. When you make those tacos, especially the hard shell, if you've had three or four and they're breaking and kind of falling out on the plate, then you have your remnants that you clean up, you scarf on after, right? You have the base. So you don't have to put a taco shell in the fourth one. You're cool. So if Q-Tip made a couple tacos and then he just started pounding them with his fist into nachos, would you be like, this fool is a legend? Yeah.

If he did that shit to a beat, then we're good. If he was just like, let me just... Now that's a low-end theory. Yeah, that might be. By the way, he did hand me my phone when I got off the airplane last year coming from New York. Sir Q-tip? That was your chance. So you've done your Japan meetup. Now you have to do your mom's tacos. Yeah, you already had the meetup. Right, exactly. I left my phone in my seat and he was like, hey man, is this yours? And I was like...

yeah and it was like yeah thank you dude appreciate it instead of uh i worship you thank you sir it's tough to keep it together yeah well my uh neighbors are green day and i've become uh buddies with them oh right and i had actually had a pretty punk rock thing happened the other day where i was getting stuff out of my car and my car was parked on the street and billy joe and his wife pull up

in like their... The Dookie Mobile? In their Dookie Mobile. No, it was a convertible. And they're like, oh, hey, what's up? But I haven't seen them for a while. And I'm like... Wait, it wasn't the Dookie Mobile? Yeah. Okay. Why'd you say it was? I'm sorry. I'll say that. It wasn't the Dookie Mobile, no. Why did you even say it was then? I did. Because it's called Yes Anding, dog. Yeah, he's Yes Anding. Not quite. I had a completely different picture. Then you said...

But then I was like, hey, it's not actually the Dookie Mobile. It's a convertible. But then you say convertible. Now I have to change. I have to go backwards and change the whole fucking story. Sorry. It's okay. It's a convertible. It's not the Dookie Mobile. All you need to know is he's talking to the lead singer of the cast of Green Day. Now stop. Of the cast? The original cast of Green Day. The original cast. Now stop. Future American idiots. And people, there was a lot, it was like a weekend and there was a lot of people talking

leaving the beach and they were backed up behind them and they were honking them and coming around them and Billy Joe's just trying to wave them through and his wife jumped up on her seat and this is why it's important that it's a convertible and she stood up and she flips them all off and she's like, fuck you! We're talking here! Fuck you!

And I'm like, God damn, I love punk rock. Wow. I love that. I love that you're able to just say, fuck you. And they're like, well, that's part of our thing. Yeah. We're fucking rock and roll. You're like, I do have the time to listen to you whine. Man.

I did. That was great. I do have the time. Guys, is there any take backs, apologies, or the other thing that we say? Is it that time already? Yeah, I'll jump in. I'll jump in and I'll definitely apologize. Because we know what's coming. Well, I'm going to apologize for saying man first.

about the car. I'm going to do a full-blown... It's been eating you alive. I don't think you had to apologize for that. Adam's got his take back for next episode. I said I was saving it, so I'm going to do it anyways. But I also would like to...

I apologize to Durs for jumping down the throat about the brownies because I actually kind of want to taste them brownies one day. Hey, you can go to the grocery store and buy them. They're called Betty Crocker, baby. There we go. All right. Nice. All right. Cool. Compliment your mom on the Betty Crocker recipe.

No doubt. Very nice. I would like to apologize to my mother by saying she's a shitty cook, and I shouldn't have said she's shitty. I should say that she's just not any good. Very nice. Very nice. Very good. Very good. Nice. Nice, dude. Yep. Very good. And I want to just compliment all your mothers for, you know, just having food on the table, and, you know, it's not easy. I'm over here trying to cook stuff. I can't.

Sweetheart, I burn toast. I tell you, it's a heck of a time cooking up a meal for these kids out here. So shout out to moms trying out there. Yeah, absolutely. Huge. Let's see. I believe the third thing is compliments. Just want to compliment Blake on his story and being so forthright about how dorky he was with the Edge.

We appreciate that. Thank you. And let's see. I guess I apologize to Kyle. I'm sure I said something. No, you were actually nice to me today. Yeah. You were good. Yeah, I thought that was pretty good. It was a pretty good light Kyle. Well, then I guess I found my take back. Take back? Take back all apologies. Take back that apology, you bet. All good. All right. And we will definitely have more. Tyria.

We'll have more on next week. This is important. We'll have... We should have done that for an hour straight. Ah, goddamn.
