Welcome to This is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This is Important, this podcast has brought us together in ways I never dreamed. Yeah, no, we'll clap for sure, naked grandma. I might have tried to rob you for a fun dip too, man. You look like a mark.

I'm the Invisible Woman. That's what's up.

And here we go. Okay, what were we just saying? What were we just saying? It was hot. It was heated. We were talking about compliments. We were early YouTube compliments. That's what I call comments in my Instagram account. I call them compliments. Let's go through and read the compliments. That's a cool window into the way your brain works. Yeah, that's how it should be, man. You know? Yeah, bitch. More compliments out there. This guy's compliment says I'm not funny and ugly? Weird. Weird.

That's an interesting compliment. That shit's important. This guy's compliment says, my Down syndrome brother is cooler than you. Okay. Factual. I got to keep it 100. This compliment says, I bet you stink in real life. What the fuck did you say, bro?

No, that's about me. What the fuck did you say? That's about me. It's about to go down. It's when somebody's talking about you. That's about me. That's about me. You're talking about him, but it seems like you're about me, brother. I don't know if you were doing that.

to justice to the way you wanted to do it who is i think you were like oh it's like this and then i don't think you got it right should we roll it back okay guys let's start okay three two no he was like oh he said step out and he started doing a bit about it and then was just saying what is this man this is gotcha day what

the hell, man? Durs, let it roll, man. I thought he was coming at me. Okay, you know what? I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. My God. I thought I was about to get... What side of the bed was that? The bottom. Jeez. Got kicked out like a damn dog. I woke up under

the bed are you are you you got kicked out the house is this a huge development wow kicked out the house we got kicked out the house hip house yeah why are you in a new office what's happening here are you in a shack in your backyard look this is brought to you by selkirk hats pickleball guy i'm into that hey this is interesting this is actually pretty interesting

What is? All right, let's go off. Of all your friends, we can go round and round. Whose house, if you did get kicked out of your home by your significant other, whose house would you want to, what couch are you surfing of these barrages right here? Oh, okay. Are you directing this towards me first? Yeah. Yeah, please. You lead it off. Let's go. Let's do a round robin.

Whose couch? Whose couch are you surfing upon? I mean, God, I would love to go down to the beach for a few months. Okay, yeah. Adam, is that cool? Does that work for you, a few months? Yeah, come on down, baby. Yeah, that makes sense, actually. We'll even put you in a spare bedroom. We won't give you the couch. How about that? Okay. Yeah, I like that. How about that? Dude, I'll just be out on the beach drinking myself to death crying. Is that cool? That'd be tight. I've had friends, Scotty Landis tried to camp on my beach for a little bit. He was like, I'll just pitch a tent.

Really? And then it was like day one. He was like, that was the worst idea. He just did it one night. I love it. I was up at like 530 in the morning. The fucking sea lions were so damn loud. Oh, sea lions are a problem out there. Oh, yeah, dude. And they're like also...

fucking terrifying because they're the size of like a baby hippo and then you're like out on your dock and then all of a sudden they'll just like fucking flop up on the dock next to you covered in their own shit excuse me really wait are they they're covered in their own shit oh they're always covered in their own shit dude really they're diarrhea boys well what they do well not when they first come out of the water but as soon as they're up there for more than a few minutes on your dock yeah they uh shit all over themselves and then roll in it and then

ground that down into the crevasses of the dock. Why? That's gross. Hey, man, what part of the game is that? Yeah, what are they doing? Is that a way to attract mates? Why do they smear themselves with their own shit? Probably territorial shit, bro, right? Isn't that? I would ask Kyle. Kyle, why do they do it? Why do you do it? I'm guessing it's... I feel like Adam's just really leaning into don't stay at my house.

You can stay inside. Well, that's a problem, though. That's a problem for me. There's sea lions constantly. You said you're going to sleep outside. I don't want that for you. I like living there, but you wouldn't.

They poo-poo everywhere. There's going to be a lot of seals with a lot of diarrhea all over. But wouldn't you like to just open the blinds one morning and find me wrestling a sea lion like super hungover? I mean, yeah, I wouldn't dislike that. No, that would be a fun thing to wake up to. You have to put spikes on everything? Or also, like, they, like, sank half of my dock. I had to, like, replace half of it. For the seals? Yeah, the sea lions. You have to. You have to put spikes on everything. You have to put spikes on the sea lions? Wait.

No. Yeah, you have to put... I don't like that part. Yeah, you have to put spikes. Yeah. Blades. He puts blades everywhere. Well, it's not metal spikes. They're little plastic spikes. It's just enough that when they jump up, they're like, ow. It goes in their little poo-poo hole. They bleed. They're like, ow. It slides right up. Yeah, maybe it gets an eye. It gets eyes or both. I don't know. Yeah. And then they shit everywhere because they're in so much pain.

You aim for the eyes. Maybe they're shitting everywhere because there's spikes all over everything and they're like, fuck you guys. They're fucking going into shock. They're going into shock on your dog. No, dude, you should see. We saw once when like six of them got on this boat and like ruined the boat. It's never been the same. It has like a gangster lean to it now. Talk to me about six sea lions ruining a boat. That's just with the poo poo? No, because they're so fucking heavy, dude.

They're so heavy. They're huge. Well, what do they do? They sink in it? But so how does that ruin a boat? I'm sorry. I'm like... It like half sinks it. Oh, okay. And then water gets in the engine compartment. It's a whole fucking thing. Have you ever seen like a jacked or like a sexy one where you're like, okay, this one takes care of themselves? Yeah. It's a six pack. Ah.

Like, are these like ones that are just eating food and garbage that's thrown out by humans so they're plump? No, they're regular ass. They're just the sea lions. What kind of seal are we talking? Like a California sea lion? Like a fucking one that kind of like barks, right? They're like, a classic California sea lion. You've seen a million of them. Yeah, they're always out there. Yeah,

Yeah, Blake, you've seen a million of them. I have. In San Francisco, Kyle and I, come on, we used to go to Pier 39. Yeah. That's right, we did. That's right. That was Kyle. And I know you, I mean, you've seen them in Laguna. We've been to Laguna Beach together. They're all over the place. We've seen them together. Quit acting like you don't know what a fucking sea lion is, dude. I'm pissed now. No, yeah, I know what they are. I'm tired.

Honestly, I've never seen one, mate. It's interesting. Dude, when I was out in the water surfing, I fucking had my toes hanging off the board and I felt something. When was this? 09? Oh, dude, yeah. This was a long time ago. Back in the day. Adam with the chronology burn. When was this? Like, not yesterday? Burn!

Fat piece of shit. When was this? A time in your life? You fucking idiot. What is this, a story from the past? Oh, wow, man. Guns are blazing right now. I like this, brother. Dude, I'm on fire right now. I can't wait for Adam to be like, dude, I had a teacher. When was this? In fucking middle school, dude? You dumbass. All right, but go ahead, Kyle. Okay, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, dude, so that was an epic slam, but you may continue. Her!

My toes were hanging off the back of the board. You had your toes hanging over? When was this? And I felt something a knocking and I turned around and it was a fucking sea lion right there. Oh my God. Oh my God. Hitting my toes with its nose. Oh my God.

That's funny. It was scary as fuck. That's as close as I've ever been and it was fucking scary. When I first... That's as close as I've ever been as full contact. Yeah, touching one. Other than that, it's been about six feet away for me. Have any of you ever? Yeah, that time I was attacked by a sea lion, that was probably the closest I've ever been. I...

Well, one time I was in, have you felt Laguna Beach? Inside of a sea lion's mouth. And that's where I, the buck stops there. When I was in Laguna Beach, when I had first moved to California, we used to always drive down there because the beaches were so damn nice. Gorgeous. And I...

fancying myself a photographer at that time. So I was like, cause what? You had an iPhone. I was like climbing around on my, not a cannon. Dude. This is like right when I fucking met you, I think. No, this is dude. This is fucking. Oh, seven duties. We're only talking about. Oh, seven. Oh my God. No. When is this? Oh, two. This is no, this is. Oh, two. Oh, three. This is. Oh, three. Hey, yeah.

Your math is also bad, Blake. It was oh two or oh three. You bitch. Oh my God. Oh, so it was probably a Blackberry. Probably couldn't even take photos or something. No, it's way before that. Yeah. This is like a fucking Nokia. Yeah, no, it was a, it was a cannon. I've said it twice now. It was a cannon. And,

I'm not listening. Dude, go fucking see the Howerton movie. Wow. I went around the bed. I climbed over these rocks and you could go around this little side and I jumped off. When was this? The Stone Age? Yeah, essentially. And I jumped off

a rock and just ate shit on this other rock because it was way slippery. Oops. And then that rock moved. Sorry about that. And it was a sea lion with a bunch of baby sea lions. And I had jumped on it from one rock to another and ate shit. And then obviously the mother was so mad at me, was like, uh, uh,

but aggressive style. - For sure. - Yeah, protecting. - Just chorging, dude. Just making that chorg noise. - They're constantly chorging. - Then I couldn't get back around because the mother was protecting that side. So I had to jump in the water, swim way the fuck out and back around to the beach. - You jumped in the water where it's much faster than you and can fully attack you.

I mean, yes, but it was protecting its kids. I figured that was good. What about your camera? What happened to your camera? And first of all, I'm sorry you fell. I'm sorry you fell. This dude is doing side stroke with the camera. How about the camera? What happened? I can't remember exactly. I'm assuming I sat it somewhere and came back. Or maybe I tried to hold it above my head, but I'm not that strong of a swimmer, so I would have ruined it.

Yeah. That's bad. Adam's like, wait a second. When I made up this story, I didn't cover that. That is not true. I think I've told that story on the podcast before. I don't know. I guess we could fill that in now. I think I've told you it wasn't a camera. I was drawing. Fuck. No, that's worse. Um,

I was doing my painting. Painting. Painting worse? Dammit. Watercolor on the rocks. I slipped and fell, cracked my head. I took a mental picture. Kyle, he took a mental picture is what it was. And he didn't step on a sea lion. He was in bed napping. I have some of the photos I took that day. Chloe hung them up as if they're good. They're way not good. That's okay. Adam, would you ever get into photography? And then we will circle back to where everyone else would sleep. But go ahead. Yeah.

If they were kicked out of the house. Oh, right. No way. I still want to talk about seals. I can't wait to talk more about sea lions, baby. Sea lions, bitch. Hot seal action. Now, seals are sea lions. Yeah, they're sea lions. Blake the fucking bozo. Sea lions are the bigger blubs, right?

Sea lions are the ones up in the Central Coast, right? Or those elephant seals. The ones that are like, and they got the fucking wall. Yeah, no, what is it? Elephant seals are the ones with the really cool noses that look like they have a pile of dookie on their face. Yeah, those guys are sick. They look like Muppets. Well, that might be according to Adam. Guys, we haven't even gotten into walruses yet.

Oh my gosh. Oh, I know the test generally over the podcast years. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, for everything we're saying about these California sea lions, you're lucky. That's what you're swimming with. Cause some of these sea lions are huge and very dangerous. Very much so. Yes, they will bite. Okay. And this message was brought to you by safety on the California coast. Uh,

So, Kyle, where would you stay? Yeah, if you got kicked out the house. Oh. If you're kicked out. If I was kicked out of my house. Kicked out. He's like, okay, for a win. This could also be a win. This could be a win. You're booted. The wife says, hey, no more. You got to go stay somewhere for at least, what did we say, a month? A month. Like a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Hey, there's no time, you know, because when these things happen, there's no time frame on it. You just don't know. You got to serve. All right. I'm just picking one. You got to couch serve for as long as you can. Hey, what happened? Well, Blake's currently staying in my house, so that's...

That's true. That's true. Well, so you have a chance to. So maybe I'm going to Blake's. I'm going to my house. Well, yeah, you'd feel the most at home there. Yeah, you guys just got booted to the garage. Kyle's in the master. No, I have to pretend like Blake is at his old house or something. You know what I mean? Or at his new house, I guess. No, no, man. This is the scenario. Oh.

I still think I'm going down to the beach. Yeah. I think I'm going to need to clear my head. Really? Just to get away. And get out on the water. Yeah. With all the diarrhea seals? Come on. I'll be friends with them. In like two days, I'll be friends with them. It'll be all good. Yeah, true. They'll be like, who's this seal? You're like, actually, I'm a human, guys. I'll say, I am your leader. Diarrhea.

Hey, guys, I would say 98% of the time, you're not going to have beef with these sea lions, okay? But it's just that 1% or 2% that they'll catch you by surprise. Yeah. And Kyle, I do have pickleball courts within a quarter mile of my home, not even. Okay, wait. That's...

And I don't know if we're supposed to do this. We're supposed to advocate for these people to come stay at our homes or what, but I'm just letting you know. I know he's got the beach, but... I mean, they're your best friends. Yeah, you can. You know, life's a competition, then you die. Now, also, I think maybe going to Durza's house...

with the pickleball courts real close by is a good idea. Okay. Nucky grandma! Take your mind off things. I think that also I'll get the- But Kyle, you are coming down to Orange County. We've got plenty of factor microwavable dinners in the fridge for you.

That's true. Kyle. I'm coming down tomorrow to play. You are coming to Orange County to play pickleball. That's true. So you do have a pickleball community, if you will, down near my home. Okay. I mean, that's tempting as well. And Newport, yep, there's a lot of pickleball in Newport. But here's the other thing. Durs has a family. Great Hooters, too. And kids. A what? A family and kids. That might be helpful in my road to recovery, whatever is going on. Whatever got me. Oh, sure, sure, sure.

Right. Adam's only married and just so sad. Yeah. A sad lifestyle. I don't know. Could that help? Could that help me on my- Sad and can go anywhere at any time. Which one's a better recovery spot for me, I guess, is the question. Right. Oh, so you're actually going to work on yourself?

Well, I got kicked out. I got kicked out. I didn't kick anybody out in this scenario. Yeah, but then you got to be around a loving wife and family and kids. And then it makes you miss your family that much more. Right.

It might be helpful. Don't you kind of want your own space? Because you don't know how the fight broke. Maybe it was your beef that started the fight. And then you're like, hey, you know what? I'm going to go stay somewhere for a little bit. Were you rolling in shit again?

it again? You don't know. Yeah. More often than not, it's my shit that starts it. You know what I mean? I start that shit. So really, you're owning up to it. That's really big of you, Kyle, man, because that wasn't what you were like a couple of years back in like 07. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Back in the day, fucking 06. You maniac. Oh, yeah. Well, that was when things were wacky back then, bro. When you were fucking surfing and just seals were biting your shit and you were just like, you took no accountability. It was crazy, dude. Right. Yeah.

Yeah, I think I'm trying to mend when I'm there and I think Ders is good. I would love to go to each one of your guys' houses for like 10 days each. Oh, yeah. Well, you know Ders probably has the best snacks. The snack game at Ders' house is probably the strongest, I would say. Yeah, if you like raisins. It's a problem. It's a problem. Yeah. We got raisins. We got fruit leather. We got it all. The beef jerky in the house is something else. Yeah, dude. The amount of raisins I'm going to eat. Well... Ooh.

I eat because I'm on a hot date. What about you, Blake? Where are you staying, man? What are you doing? Oh, that's a tough one, man. I feel like... You got kicked out. By the way, Adam's like, I go to my other house. Yeah.

You guys don't want to know. That's not the that's not the game here. That's not the game. That's not the game. I feel like, Kyle, when you bring up like, oh, I'm going there to, you know, fix myself. Maybe I almost do a round robin where each house I go to, I learn a different lesson from each of my friends. I feel like there's right. There's the movie. There's some couch surfing the movie. They delete this from the pod.

We need to pocket this one before freaking... I don't know who steals it. Yeah, who would steal it? This is good, though. Yeah. Couch surfing. I like it. Seth Rerogan. Seth Rerogan. Thanks, Jason Segel. Right. Yeah, man. I feel like we could learn a lot. I feel like if I went like 10 days at each of your guys' house and I am in having a mental crisis, I will find what I need to...

To fix myself. Yes, I think that is. And I think that that's... This is a Richard Linklater movie waiting to happen. Yeah. That is why we've worked together so well for well over a decade, almost two decades now. Yep. It's because we each add a certain spice to our comedy gumbo. Yeah.

And after we do this, we got to say our spices. Okay. But anyway, go ahead. Curry. Because I know what mine is. I know what mine is. I know what my spice is. But I think it, Adam, I think it extends beyond comedy. Lowry. I think it extends beyond comedy. That's what we're finding out here is it's like, sure. Yes. But comedy, Kyle, but comedy's life. Wait, what is, I don't even know what life is beyond comedy, but please. Adam,

Actually, yeah. Is there something beyond comedy? I don't know. Live, laugh, love. Not for me, said the guy who would drink himself to death on Adams Beach. So you do have to. I think that is a little bit of a cop out. You have to choose. Thank you. Thank you. Great movie. Go ahead. Great movie. Wait, what? Well, there's something to be said for every place. Well, I love that idea. Like, you know. Okay. Yeah. And you have to pick one. Yeah. I haven't picked one yet.

This is how everything works. Hey, what's your favorite this? There's something to be said for many things, but then we want you to choose one. Well, I'm just saying like- It's really hard. I like blue, red, and green, but you got to pick one. I like- It's like- Great example. You go to Adams, we're out on the boat. We can really find ourselves. We can really-

be out on the water and talk about anything, dude. Or we can do anything with each other and no one would ever know because we're in the middle of the ocean. Wait, why is everyone going to places for healing and I was going to die on the beach drunk? Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. I'm like, okay, all right. This is what I'm saying. First 10 days, me and Adam, bender on the

boat. I get it all out of my system. Okay, now we're talking. Then I go to Durza's. He fucking puts me through the camp. Gets me shredded. Makes me eat raisins for every meal. I journey north to Kyle where I'm around my family and my friends from the past and I remember where I came from and I come back a complete person. You're painting? There we go. I'm painting. Expressing yourself. You're creating. Yeah.

Yeah, you're painting. I'm making little claymation videos with Kyle again. Oh, let's do it in the garage, dude. Let's go. Yeah, sure. So just pick one. Yeah, probably your house, bro. I want to get on that boat and drink some buzz balls, baby. I think it all comes down to the beach. I really do. Oh, my God. Blake showing up looking like he's been crying for 40 hours with a ton of buzz balls under his arms. Love it.

It's Corinne, right? It's Corinne, yeah.

I don't fucking know. And if you want to see something fun, watch his clips on Letterman from back in the day. It was always cool. Oh, yeah. His clips are so incredible. Oh, yeah. They're like the one person who will never get invited back to Letterman. Right. He was good. But Letterman was in on the joke. That's why I always love it. Those and the Crispin Glover clips of Letterman back in the day. Oh, yeah. What did he do? Just the most awkward. He karate kicked at him. Oh, really? I thought he was just like the most awkward dude of all time.

There's that too, but I think... I'm pretty sure he karate kicks in Trim Letterman's face or something. Right. What? I think so. Was that just to get some hot press for Willard or what? Why was he doing that? Yeah, he took LSD and tried to kick Letterman. LSD. Wow, dude! So do you think Letterman's in on that joke? Is Letterman in on that joke? No. If he took LSD and tried to kick him... I think he wanted to be and then fucking Homeboy was like, are you really down?

day. Crispin rules, man. Crispin Glover is operating on a level that I don't know who else is doing that, right? Well, I think Joaquin tried to operate on that level and then it just... He's a bagel. Right, but Crispin's like,

I leave here the same way as I showed up. Yeah. Yes. I'm ordering a number one supersize with a Sprite this way. Like, this dude is that way everywhere he goes. Yeah. Trucks make me cool. Right. Joaquin made a choice to jump into Gloverland. Right. Into Crispin's world. Yeah, he was doing a character, doing a bit. Right. Yeah. But I don't think Letterman was in on the Joaquin thing either. I think, I don't know, but. Letterman is awesome.

He's down. He's very down. I feel like when something's in, he's like, I see what we're doing here. We can play this. Now, Letterman is cool. You know, he said he watched the guy got to do it right before he retired.

He watched what? Like six months before he retired. He said he's watched every episode of Workaholics. What? David Letterman? Oh, really? That's what he told me right as like I was being ushered off. And this is, I think this is what I mean that he's always down for the joke. He was like, yeah, totally. Right. Like I did my like three minutes or whatever. And he was like, he goes, I love Workaholics. I've seen every episode. Whoa.

And then all I wanted to do was talk to him about that, but it was like right when they were like, okay, this way, this way. Wow. Everybody turn down. Everybody turn down. This message is for David Letterman. Hey. Is this you, the Letterman? Yeah. Can we stay on? Let me turn down. Let me turn down. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be a quick, quick message, but me to Letterman real quick. Hey, Dave, did you watch all the episodes?

Hit me back. All right. Turn on up. Turn on up. Turn it up. Okay. Hey. Hey, Kyle. I hope that was worth it, wasn't it? I got really nervous when I was talking to Dave. I was. Hey, dude. Yeah. It was a presence. Yeah. You kind of got a little shaky there. Yeah. It kind of seemed like you bailed on what you were going to say and then just kind of went with a question. No, I didn't have anything. And then I got really nervous when I realized I was talking to fucking David Letterman.

And I got nervous. You know, for sure he was lying. Now, you know, there's no way he watched every episode. That's a lot. I mean, he's probably seen five. Right. Is that the joke? Is that he's like, you should know that this is funny because there's no way I've watched any episode. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, he is advanced. Oh, shit. I've watched every episode. Get it. Like, oh, I get it. You haven't seen it at all. I've never seen it. Yeah.

No, he seemed like he was down to clown. You could tell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Didn't our showrunner, Kevin Enten, work at Letterman? Yes. So maybe there was a little in there. Maybe. Maybe.

Can I tell you something about David Letterman and Kevin Netton? Yes, you can. They don't know each other. Letterman doesn't know he worked there. And Kevin will attest to that. I think Kevin did his thing. He's up and out. Yeah, there's no way. Well, how many fucking writers has David Letterman had over the years? Exactly. And how many were better than Kevin? Almost all of them. Yeah, most. So it's like, there's no way.

You lose. Kevin ended up with us. That's what I'm going to say. Wow. I'd live at Blake's house. And we were a match made in heaven. You'd live at Blake's house. I'd live at Blake's house. I'd live at Kevin's. Which is Kyle's house. So you're going up to my house. Yeah, I want to go back to your crib. I was there yesterday. It's beautiful. Because I was like, oh, there's a pool. It's kind of close to my house. If Chloe was like, all right, you can come home. I can be home in like 15 minutes. It wouldn't be like that big of a whoop.

Like if I go up to your house in the bay... Did you just say it wouldn't be that big of a whoop? Yeah, it wouldn't be much of a whoop. It wouldn't be that big of a whoop-wap. That's good. If I go all the way up to the bay area and she's like, all right, you can come home. I'll be like...

we'll see you tomorrow. Or like, I have plans tomorrow. I'm trying pickleball. But that gives you so much time to think. Yeah, I'm going frisbee golfing. Adam thinks he's like out of the doghouse already. Yeah. That's how it works. The fucking ego on this guy. Yeah, that's how it works in my house. Yeah. Yeah, bro. Yeah. You're way in the doghouse and then all of a sudden there's not even a doghouse. What? We're back at it. That's kind of cool. Yeah. Whoa, how do you do it? See, I want to go to Apple.

Adam's house. What happened to the dog house? It's destroyed. It's destroyed until all of a sudden it appears again and you live inside of it. I'm a dude. But what happens to the reason you went in the dog house? It just... Nah, all's forgiven. All good. Really? Yep. Okay, that's an approach. Back to the start again. Adam, Chloe's on like a 51st state situation. She wakes up every day forgetting. She wakes up every morning and I convince her to stay. That's... Right.

So your whole thing is you just wait for your partner to forget, and it doesn't take that long. No, all is forgiven, or I forgive her, whichever way it goes, and then you just go, I'm back in. Gosh, man. That's cool, man. Must be nice. See, I don't know. It lasts for longer. It lasts for longer in my house sometimes. Yeah, but I pick Blake's house. I pick Blake's. That being said, I wanted...

the pool at Blake's house and Durst does have a pool and the snack game is better at Durst. It is an extra 20 minutes. So now I'm looking at 40 minutes to get back home. But you know what? It's a nice getaway. It's only 10 degrees hotter. I think you got to come up to the bay. Yeah, man. Come up to the bay for this. Hmm.

Yeah, come up to the bay. I got a pickleball court in the backyard now. Okay. I got nice gym. See, the knees can't handle pickleball. Like, we were over shooting hoops the other day at Atiba's. Yep. Knees couldn't even handle that. I was sore. I was sore for those three shots I took. Isn't it crazy how none of us missed any shots? God, that's crazy.

I know. Especially you. That video of you. So the other day, we all got together for the first time in a very long time that we all saw each other at the same time. We all hung out, yeah. Which was so sick. Right. Almost on accident. Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, kind of. Very last minute, yeah. I didn't realize that was what was happening. You were organic. I loved it. Chloe was like, my God. She was like, are you drunk when I came home? I didn't drink anything. I was totally sober. Ew!

Well, being you had some can, you had some can. Didn't you have a little bit of can? That doesn't count. I have like five of those a night. You had seven cans. I had two cans. You were drinking insane amounts of THC. That is not true. I had two. Normally I have four or five in a night, regularly. So I'm sober. Nothing. I drove home backwards. Also on painkillers for my knee, but totally sober. I wasn't on painkillers.

I'm telling you. And I came home and we're just keeping you honest. We're just keeping you honest, bud. And, uh,

And she was like, you're giddy. She's like, my God, you're like flying high. And I'm like, yeah, the boys were back in town, baby. Yeah, baby. Oh, yeah. It was cool. It was really cool. I will say that, like, because we interact on here now almost exclusively saying stuff from the pod to each other. It was very like I'd be like, I mean, yeah, dude, it was a whoop whoop. But in person.

It's very strange because I'm like, did I cross the streams here? What's happening? No, it's cool. It is interesting. You know what? This is interesting. Dare I say important. I have found that this podcast has brought us together in ways I never dreamed, but it also prevents us from talking outside of

any day other than we're actually on the pod because we have to save it for the pod. It's true. It's like, oh, you get into something cool and then save it for the pod. Well, yeah, we don't. I feel like when we see each other now, there's no we aren't catching up. You're just talking about the thing you're doing. Yes. You know, maybe some slight like overarching themes of the catch up, but you're not going into details because you got to save it for the pod. Overarching themes of

Catch up. Isn't that better? Yeah, Adam starts to talk about how his testicle hurts. And I say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Save it for the pod. Save it for the pod. Testicle no longer hurts, dog. Now it's hip and groin and back. I think it's better. Don't you kind of hate when you run into somebody for a long time and you got to be like, so, like, what's, how's it going with war? You got to, like, get it.

And you just want to hang in the moment? Yes. That's what it felt like the other day. It felt like we were able to just be like, fuck it all. Let's just be right here, right now with each other in the sunset. Atiba, snap the photo. You know what I mean? Friendship. Snap the photo. This is it.

It is nice having a photographer for a friend because he's always like, got to get a photo. And I'm like, do we? And he's like, yes. And then we post it today and everyone loses their mind. And then you have it and you're like, yeah. Dude, that picture was great. That sunset was sick. Like, that's a moment. We got it. And the fact that we were together the night before the, like, birthday of Workaholics was...

Yeah, completely over my head. Had no idea. Totally coincidental. Forgot about the show almost, actually. Yeah, forgot we had that for seven years. Sometimes I'm like, how do I know these guys? It's a cosmic level, man. Alcoholics Anonymous. That's cosmic. It's cosmic, dude. It's bigger than us. That's why we were together. It's cosplay. We met at Comic-Con. We were all cosplays.

as the Fantastic Four and we're like, what the hell? We said, shirts off, put this on. Oh my God, thing. Kyle was the thing. How was the thing? Adam was the invisible woman. Thank you. I was the human torch and you were Mr. Fantastic.

Thank you. I like the way you said that. Fantastic Four. Who's going to be in that movie? Us? That's a big one. Are they redoing that movie again? Yeah, they're giving it another shot. Really? You know what? My guy Shackman is directing it. He directed Godzilla, and he's killer. I think he's going to do a good job. Okay. Is that Matt Shackman? Yeah, he did a bunch of the Sonny stuff, too. Yeah, right. That's where I know his name from. His last name is Shack? Shackman.

even cooler the shack man s h a q man okay no okay for sure that sucks yeah that sucks shack man oh man dissing on him dissing on his name what shack oh i just wish it was shack man i'm sure he thinks the same thing i bet he's like damn i wish i was shack man no i don't know he's a pretty straightforward guy pretty straight legs yeah i don't know him i don't know him can't comment if you said that to him you go yeah i don't know i think it's fine how it is uh anyway can you hit your mark on the next one thank you yeah

Critical focus, bud. Blake is never hitting his marks in this scenario. Again, you're not human torched. You didn't get cast at that. When someone says hit your mark, he's like, well, aren't we going to get a stunt guy in here for that? Okay, Blake, when I say hit your mark, that is not like a fight scene. It's a thing on the ground, not a guy. Shaq man! Shaq man!

Up top, Shaq. Land on your mark, I guess I should say. I really like the version where Blake's not even cast as the human torch. Yeah, he's just there. Right. You're crafty. Smashing crafty. What are you doing, bro? And the main actors are not really keen on you always just bringing out buzz balls for the snack. It's just nothing but buzz balls and hard-boiled eggs. Come on, Shaq, man.

I'm going to Kobe, Shaq, man. Come on. You're Human Torch, not Human Garbage. And just, I don't know, zero in on that, okay? Hey, man. Thank you. Sorry about it. Oh, boy. I don't even know. Who are the characters in Fantastic Four? I don't really know. Okay, okay. So we got The Thing. The Thing. Ben Grimm. Human Torch. Human Torch.

Mr. Fantastic. Well, the thing was Michael Chiklis back in the day, right? Which is perfect casting, right? That's who I would like to be. Perfect. If I'm cast in Fantastic Four, I think I would like to be the thing. Oh, you're the thing. I thought I was going to be the...

thing. Well, maybe throw my name in the hat and throw my name in the casting hat. You know, Adam is built for the thing. Let's keep going. I don't know where I fit in there. You're you're you should be stretch Armstrong or something. Mr. Fantastic. I think that's Durs. I think that's kind of me. That's Durs. Okay. And I think Blake is the fucking human torch that kind of makes it. What's his name? Johnny is his name? Johnny Blaze. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that leaves you Kyle. And so that

leaves you is uh you could be like the key grip invisible woman the invisible woman okay that's great that's a great part i'll play which by the way it's gotta be a metaphor in in a group of superheroes like the woman is invisible right she's not getting treated the same wow preach church you know it's true yes king when was it when was it made i just i just see things a little bit more clearly these days you know

When was it? First May? The 60s, right? 50s, 60s. Oh, what? Were you in fucking middle school? Yeah, back when you had your Razor phone, you bitch, and you were surfing. Oh, man. Oh, my God, man. Oh, man. Dude, I didn't know we were going to go this hard. I just came out of the gate with a little thunder, a little piss and vinegar in me, but this isn't a take down Kyle day. It's going to end up a damn t-shirt now. I'm sorry, Kyle. I'm sorry.

It's all right. I'll just turn invisible. I don't give a fuck. This bit's getting its own merch. I don't give a fuck. I'm invisible, bro. Yeah, this is why he's the invisible woman, because he just wishes he could disappear sometimes and not get... I'm fucking out. Just destroyed by his homie. No, it's good. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's good. I'm fucking invisible. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm the invisible woman. Oh.

Did we ever talk about Jeff Fahey on here? We did, right? We must have. We had to have. Did you just say, whoa, whoa, whoa? Yeah, I think I did a whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. Go ahead and speak on Jeff Fahey. He was the lawnmower man, right? Is that what he was? The lawnmower man, yeah. He's an actor who was in, I believe, Silverado, and he was the lawnmower man. Which is a horror movie, an 80s horror movie. Right.

Where like a doofus gets plugged into a computer and becomes a super genius. Yeah, that movie rocks. And he's got the hottest eyes. He's top 10 hottest eyes in Hollywood history without any exaggeration. Such hot eyes, yes. Oh, yeah, man. Real hot eyes. And he did a guest little star on Workaholics. The coolest. As the homeless guy in the episode titled Man Up. Man Up. Man Up. Where I kick a raccoon. Come at me.

This is the way. Yeah. It turned out to be his pet. You've killed a lot of animals in your acting career. It's pretty cool. Yeah. It's funny. Well, it's because he can't, he's not allowed to do it in real life. So he gets these urges. Yeah. I've never done it in real life. These serial killer urges that we all know Ders has. He's able to get out through. Cruelty to animals. Through his acting. It was more of that and for sure less of write what you know. It's definitely not that. Totally.

Yeah, man, get out. It's your art, bro. Get it out. Express yourself. That's good. But between takes and stuff, this dude was explaining his life and it turns out he's the most interesting man in the world straight out of the Dos Equis commercials. Yes. Right. Um,

Get on Wikipedia and check his page. It's crazy. Well, he was one of like, I mean, I'm going to get the number wrong, but it was like an insane amount of brothers and sisters. It was like 11 kids. I think it was 11 or 13 kids. Yeah. Yeah. It was a crazy amount of Baker's dozen worth of siblings. And so he lived in like New York state and was like, I need to make money. So he moves to Alaska and is a crab fisherman at like 16 or 17. Yes. Yeah.

like he was like a kid and he moves there. He's a crab fisherman for a few years, made, made enough money, moves back to New York, meets a girl. She's a professional ballet dancer. He gets into ballet. Yeah, I'm going to do that. It's so good. So quick. He becomes a professional ballet dancer. He's the first male ballet dancer of like the New York ballet conservatory or whatever, whatever the premier thing is. He's the first dude. What? I didn't,

know this. Oh yeah, dude. We had a whole we were bro-ing down in between takes and it was incredible. He also had some like weird car. They were like, oh, cool car. And he goes, Clint, Eastwood gave me that. And we're like, what? Right.

Yes, points. Yeah, I used to race cars with Clint and Paul Newman. And you're like, yeah, no, for sure. Naked grandma. Yeah. And then he's like, I'm going to leave set. I know. How cool to have cool old Hollywood stories. Unreal. Our stories aren't that dope. No, they're not.

We got to get older for them to be like older, you know? Yeah. It'll be like, I spent a New Year's Eve with Donald Faison from Scrubs once. Right, right. Pretty tight. And that's not even a knock on dog. It's just not Clint Eastwood. Yeah. Pretty sick. Just not Clint Eastwood. Yeah. Not quite. It's dope. It's dope. It's dope.

Hi.

We're here for the history, not the hype. To shed light, not fan flames. We're here for the whole story, not just a headline. Here to uphold democracy, uncover the facts, and illuminate what matters.

Hey, guys. We here at This Is Important love Philadelphia cream cheese. It is extremely versatile and can be used to enhance any meal or snack. Yeah, it truly makes everything creamier. And, of course, it can be used in so much more than our classic bagel and cream cheese. You can use it in a variety of recipes, occasions, and even as a perfect snack. For example, you can dip vegetables

veggies or crackers in it to snack on. Enhance your guacamole with it. Make a creamy pasta alfredo or even buffalo chicken dip. The recipes are endless. I love to use cream cheese on my bagels. I even dip pretzels in it, baby. Mac and cheese, ramen, frosting, tzatziki. Now you can make it so much creamier. With so many unique recipes, how could you go

Wrong. And yes, you can find a ton of recipes on the Philadelphia website. Visit creamcheese.com for recipe inspiration so you can start adding Philadelphia cream cheese to your recipes at home. Wait, but the story continues. Oh.

For Fahey? Yeah, for Fahey. Then he like gets from ballet, gets into acting. And I think he's he's studying under like Stella Adler or one of those like OG New York acting teachers. Gets his first gig, whatever that may be. Tide commercial. Takes that Tide commercial. Tide pods. Takes that money.

And this is during the, like, when Russia was, like, shitting on Afghanistan back in the day. Oh, boy. Russia always starting something. Always causing trouble. In the 80s. Whenever Rambo 3 was going down, he goes over and builds a school in Afghanistan and starts living there. Oh, yeah. I remember that part. Yeah. And, like, kind of doing human rights work there. Mm-hmm.

and is going back and forth from Hollywood to Afghanistan, making money, doing movies, and then going there. Meets this like really charismatic guy with like a cool beard and he's like kind of young and they become friends and his name is Osama Bin Laden and

Wait a minute. Yeah, kind of bros down. Wait a minute. With this guy. Remember this part. You call them brosama. Yeah, and then he goes, you need guns? I can talk to my government and get you some guns and some weapons. I didn't know about this. Clint Eastwood sends Obama...

Osama bin Laden guns. I didn't know about this. He's like, do you need to get your message out? I got cameras on lock. I got Hollywood cameras that aren't being used. I could get a whole crew out here and we could do a PSA for how dope you and your sick organization. The Taliban? Okay. Cool name. Okay. Rolls off the top. This is interesting. I like

that. Yeah, this is interesting. All right. But then we're in the car doing the whoa, whoa, whoa, which is what Adam was quoting from that episode. Talking about Jamie Foxx and stuff. Talking about, yeah. And his cell phone starts going off and it, I got a mosquito in here. And he starts going there. Dude, I thought you were doing sick space work to find your phone. You're like, my phone starts going off. His phone goes off on like the bench between us. And it just says Clooney.

And I'm looking down and I'm like, you guys know he was pranking the fuck out of you this whole time. That wasn't Clooney. No, it's all Googleable. So he's like, yeah, we're getting something. Blake, you know what's cool is you were right next to us and you forgot all of this. You also were talking with him. He was going to speak to Congress with Clooney about some like clean water or some shit. And I was like, yeah, no doubt for sure. Yeah.

And like the dude was just, you got to Google this guy. Un-fucking-believable. I don't know. I think I'd rather fucking kick it with Faison, man. Scrubs rocks, dude. Yeah, Scrubs does rule. You can hang out with both. Yeah, you could do both. Fahey and Faison. Yeah. But you would know him from, he's in both Planet Terror episodes.

and the Tarantino death proof. Oh, yeah, right. He's in both of them. Kills it. When Fahey held up the raccoon that was just the stuffed raccoon and cried over its death or its injury. And goes full on. Dude. That was the best performance I had seen ever.

In our show, for sure. That was it. Yeah. In our show. Outside of us, for sure. Outside of us. No, no. Yeah, that was fantastic. Well, what was so cool about hiring dramatic actors to do these insane comedic roles is comedians a lot of times will try to play the comedy of it, which is- Guilty. Which a lot of times you want. Yes, of course. You're like, we're sort of funnier. But every once in a while, we're like something like that. That's Adam acting with you, by the way.

It's way, way funnier to just keep it real. Just go fucking real. Absolutely as real as you possibly can. And I remember I was worried because we couldn't have... They told us that we could hold the raccoon. And then on that day, the actual raccoon. The actual raccoon. So they said that it was going to work. Do we just always have the craziest animal wrangler people? Or are they all...

Like that. Because every time I feel like I think we had the pickings. Yeah. Yeah. Anytime that we had an animal, it was always like, oh, don't worry. You'll be able to do everything. And then they're like, you absolutely can't touch the animal. Don't even look at the animal. And you're like, that one would look like I'm not going to say they're all crazy.

Yeah, yeah. Don't say it. That one was a different situation. I'm not going to say they're all crazy. But my eyes are going to say everything. I'm not going to say they're all crazy. To be fully honest, I don't think that those handlers had read the pages when they said they would do that job and they read it in the morning and they're like, this guy kicks them? Yeah.

that's not going to happen. No, they just say yes to the money. We weren't asking to actually kick a real raccoon. It was a conversation. It was a conversation. No, it didn't. I know. I explained all of that to them. That's Ders' pitch. I explained all that to them and then they were like, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And then so we got stuck with like,

people that did not want to let their animal do the fucking job that they said they were going to do. Yeah. And we had a stuffed animal. People, they just say, yes, you go, do you guys have this? They go, yes. They spend the whole night out in the wild looking for the thing you asked them to bring in.

cage it, shake the shit out of it, feed it. Drugs. And they break it down like that dude whose dick got cut off in Game of Thrones. Whoa. And then they own it. And then they say, yeah, now if you want this fucking snack, you let them kick you right now.

Again. The only episode Ders watches and he watches it over and over and over again. It's just on a TV monitor in each of my rooms. That's just what's playing in your kitchen. So you always kind of catch it when you're coming in to snag some sunny D. Well, it's more for my kids to see.

Yeah. Very shaggy daddy. Know how to handle a bully at school? Just burn it into their minds. Burn it in, baby. Just kidding. I know what you're watching. Keep watching. Keep watching. Have you guys had to deal with school bullies yet? Are they at that age where you're like, a bully's at school or anything like that? Well, I'm always like of the mind where it's like- Who are you bullying? You do it first. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, smart. I knew that about you. Don't get bullied because then you're like- Get in front of it. Yeah, smart. That's smart.

That's smart. That's really cool. That's smart for your family. I see that. Yeah, if somebody looks at you funny and you think they might punch you or whatever, maybe in the future, give them a little shove. Yeah, just push them. No, that's when you say, you're lucky the teacher's strapped. You say things like that. Oh, man.

Weird one. Right, because we're, as we've talked about this off pod about how we want teachers all to have guns. Yeah, dude. That's how you handle it when you're seven years old now in school. Yeah. It's a different world. It's a different world. Although my kid came home and he was like, yeah, the way he worded it, I can't remember what they call it, but he's like, we had a extreme lockdown at school today. There's some word for it. I go, oh, cool.

What a world. I love it. Oh, cool. Yeah, that shit's nuts. Dude, we had an X Games lockdown. Because there's like a loose lockdown and then like a hard lockdown or something like that. And he goes, yeah, we had a hard lockdown at school. A tubular lockdown. They try to make it fun for the kids. Yeah. Right, right, right. We had a Teletubby lockdown. We had a hide and go seek and not die lockdown. Yeah.

Yes. Hide and don't seek. Really, really sad. Hide and don't speak. Yeah, that's very sad. Hide and don't speak. You want to play hide and don't seek? It just got real quiet in here. But yeah, bullying? No, haven't had to deal with it. This is tough to move around for me. This is tough to move around. Uncharted territory.

No, no bullying yet. I feel like I was dealing with a lot of bullies at about that age, like nine, nine, 10. I think that was prime bully. Yeah. You were in a wheelchair.

No, I was in a wheelchair 11, 12, and into 13. What the hell, man? Get your dates right. This isn't 07. Yeah, dude. Know my chronological orders. When were you in? What is this? When you were in fucking middle school? Oh, 10. Oh, I did get. I did get. Have I told this story to you guys? Have I told this story where I got bullied in fifth grade at an ice cream truck? Yeah.

Did you guys know about this? I'm sorry. Is this a one-off? We can agree that being bullied is not a one-off, right? I just remember remembering this. No, dude, a little bully at my school who was the bully was like, I was buying fucking ice cream after school with some money and he came up with a little pocket knife and put it in my belly, dude, and was like, get me a fun dip. Like, get me a fucking fun dip. Yeah, I remember. I actually remember he was my friend. Yeah, I didn't

know what was going on you're talking i'm so surprised kyle wasn't just like cut me you want to fucking go cut me bro kyle cuts himself i'll bleed out for a fun dip this was like like i'm getting good grades yeah this is before cigarettes yeah getting great grades great grades in fourth grade 4.0 like you were shining dude i was crushing everything he was drawing a lot

He was like the best artist in the class. Let's post a picture of Kyle at that time with his little glasses. Yeah, his glasses. Big glasses. Cool fucking like Sean from Boy Meets World haircut. Yeah, dude. I might have tried to rob you for a fun dip too, man. You look like a mark. Dude, I was and I got a fucking knife point in the belly, dude.

for a fun day yeah that was crazy that was like a really but i think when kids are that young pulling knives they're definitely their home life is just an absolute disaster and they're just imitating the he's he was really saying kyle will you be my friend yeah he was saying i want love he said fun dip but really he's like i want my father to love i wish i would have known that yeah but also kids if you're listening to this uh

Maybe try to get away from the guy from. Is this a message directly to them, Adam? Should we turn it down? Yeah. Get away from the guy with the knife. I wouldn't say just try to immediately befriend him if he has a knife on you. Like just run the opposite direction, I would say. Yeah. Let it let it cool down. Because, you know, kids are also some kids aren't looking for love. They're looking to murder a fellow classmate because they're psychopaths.

But deeper than that, it's the love. They're looking for the love. Everybody just wants love. Yeah, they are. They're looking for the love. It's all about the love. And also some are looking to stab their classmates. Well, no. This dude wasn't looking to stab me. Adam, you're wrong just even from my story because he didn't want to stab me. The dude wanted Fun Dip.

Because I gave him, I got a couple of fundips for him and he took the knife away. So he just needed that. So it was an exchange. Is that bullying or is that just like... Robbery. Yeah, he just, he's a stick up kid. Yeah. I was held up. I was held up. Yeah, that's not a burglar or a burglar. That's not a...

Bullying. Well, yeah. What do you kind of is, isn't it? Bullying is like constant thing. That happened to me twice in my youth. I had a knife pulled on me and a kid wanted to take my bike and I grabbed my bike. And how was that not bullying?

Bullying is like a constant demeaning, like, picking on. Yeah, where they're always picking on you forever. But there are levels. So what's the... It goes from middle school into early adulthood. Kyle, you got punked. That's not bullying, all right, dude? I guess I'm just like, where are the lines? So if it becomes like a criminal violation, it's not bullying.

No, it can still be bullying. Well, if you were right now where you're out and about, someone sticks a knife in your belly and they go, give me $25. Hold on. I'm at a school. I'm at a school, though. Okay. We're talking about school bullying. And I'm 10 years old. Okay. But you wouldn't call it a bully. You could say someone's bullying you like whatever.

Sometimes I feel we pile on each other on the podcast and we are bullying each other. Shut up, bitch. Bully. But that's different than if I were to stick a knife in your belly and say, give me something, and then you have to hand it over thinking that I'm going to stab you if I don't hand it over. That's called terrorism. Robbery. Bully. Robbery.

Webster's says that's robbery. Bullying is like constant oppressive. When it becomes violent, it's no longer bullying. Well, no. No, it can still be that. If you got robbed by that guy every week like that, that's bullying. You are so dumb. It's a real sliding scale. Hey, Kyle, this is bullying. You are so dumb.

Shut up, bitch! Yeah, I get all that shit. I guess. So when it becomes violent or criminal, it's no longer bullying because it's not sitting in the... That's still bullying if it's consistently happening. Oh, okay. It's not the one-off. It's the one-off that makes it not bullying. Yeah, the one-off is that you just got robbed. I'm just looking for that, bro. And it's the fact that he wanted something. He wanted something and he used violence to get it. He wanted love. Like, that's theft.

If he just fucking... If you're walking down the hallway and he just hits you with a book, he's being a fucking bully. You know? Just because you're a bitch. That's bullying. Because he's not getting anything out of it. Right. Is that what happened to you pre-wheelchair? Yeah, he was going to smack with books? No, my bully was... In fourth grade, he had, like, failed a grade and he said...

He comes up to me one day and he goes, I heard what you did. We're not friends anymore. And I'm like, what did I do? And then all of my friends in fourth grade turned on me and were like, dude, I, he said that we can't hang out. So we can't hang out. Mm.

And then I no longer had any friends. So that was my bully. And then it turns out I flipped the script and maybe I was a bully to him because I did kick him down a staircase. Oh, we've heard that part. I think we've established that's just assault and battery. That's a one-off. Yeah, I assaulted him because I was so angry at being bullied.

Constantly. So the way to beat a bully is to do a one-off really big. Hyper violent. And it happened a few times. I also punched him in the face playing basketball. I also hit him in the book with a book in class. You hit him in the book? Hit him with a book. Like a big one. I took a book out of my backpack and

Wait, I like how Adam used that as an example about bullying. Like two minutes ago, he's like, it's when you hit somebody with a book all the time. Yeah, no. And then I said I was being bullied. So I, I go, no, I'm if anything, I'm the bully. I'm not the kid that gets bullied. That being said, we both were bullying each other. Yeah. There's, did you guys ever end up kissing? He also hit me before, uh,

except, you know, I just took to the next level. I remember a kid who like, didn't have any friends. I don't know if he was new or something or whatever, but like, I don't know if he was bullying me, but he was always kind of talking shit and like being annoying to me, like kind of constantly. Um,

And I could even sense then that I was like, this dude's not a dick. He just really wants your attention. Do you love him? But I still think one day I like fucking hit him in the face or something. Really? Because you were pushed to your edge. Because it just got to a point where I was like, I don't want to be your friend. Dude, you have to. I kind of don't like your vibe. This is not the way to approach it. Yeah, that's right. If I'm friends with you, like...

What is this friendship going to be like? Well, you've punched me before, and I think it was because I was annoying you. So, you know. I didn't. Why did I do that? Adam was punched by Anders? Yes. When did I punch you? You punched me. It was right in the chest, and I lost my breath for a minute. It was when we were doing the sketch comedy show on Hollywood and Highlands.

Comedy cocktail? Comedy cocktail. Like way back in the day. Like behind stage or in the scene? You know how we'd get there early and run the scene on the stage before anything happened, before they allowed people in? Yeah, rehearse. And I kept flicking you with a candy necklace or doing something annoying. Wait, what?

Dude, I'm going to hit you if you don't stop. And then I did it again. And then you fucking will papped me. I thought you meant like super whatever. No, no, no. You were like, hit your mark. I'll hit your mark.

No, I did something annoying for sure. And then you're like, stop or I'm going to punch you. You definitely, Adam does go there. Adam goes there. Even when you give him like fair warning, it's like he's going to walk there. Yeah. He wants to know.

And then it's done, but you want to know exactly where your line is. I'm not going to do it again. And also, I felt that punch, dude. Pretty good punch, I'll say. All right. Right in the solar plex. That's life. So wait, were you bullying me? I might have been. Did I stand up to my bully and then we're friends now? Yeah, I think so. I love that story. Comedy cocktail.

Wow. When was that? When we were fucking 2003? Was that 2005? Yeah, probably. Yeah, Hollywood and Island, man. We were trying really hard. I was ready to take back the punch, but now it seems kind of warranted. It seems like, yeah. Yeah, no, it was warranted. I remember as soon as I, after getting over the shock of not being able to breathe for a minute, I was like, yeah, I earned that. That was fine. Right.

That's big of you. Yeah. And that shows me that you grew from that punch. So that's cool. I grew three sizes that day. And didn't I say like right after I was like, take my wife's name out of your mouth.

I don't think so. You weren't married yet, so no. He saw into the future? Take the name of this scene out of your mouth. Take the world's tallest woman out of your mouth. Would you like to do any take backs, apologies, any epic giveaways, anything sick? I want to say sorry I crossed the line and got physical after warning you what sounds like several times. Yeah, huh.

Hey, it's apology accepted. All good. And feel free to keep it up. I was fine with it. It was fine. Okay, perfect. Not the face, but like, you know, you can. Yeah, for sure. Not the face. Yeah, that's cool. You punched him. And it's not like Kyle who like attacked you because did not. He really didn't like you in a moment. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, definitely different. Well, that's anger. That's rage issues, man. But I would like to give a compliment.

to Adam for having a beach house, dude. For having a beach house. Like, well done, man. You know, it's a hot commodity. We're all looking to get in there. We're all looking to stay there. We're all looking to... So, you know, well done. Way to hold it down down there. You know, what happened is I bought it right before the super spike, the COVID super spike of beach...

front property. So I was able to luck out and get one. That sounds like a coincidence to me. Have you been traveling to Wuhan at all? Yeah, I am the COVID bat. Wow, okay. I'm the human lab. Adam, Wuhan divine. I'll show you a wet market.

Okay. I'll sell you some exotic meats. Okay. I would like to thank TII Nation as a whole. I've been running into random people. I think I told you guys this the other day that a neighbor of mine pulled up in a super dope car, like a super sick Porsche, and he rolled down the window. I've never talked with this man before. And he just goes, TII Nation.

And then fucking squealed away. That shit's in front of my house. It was sick. It crashed into a car. He screamed. He just went like this.

It was so dope. I was like, what a cool thing to say to your neighbor and then not follow up with, I listened to the podcast. It's so funny. Just scream it at me and then peel out in this sick teal porch. He's probably nervous. He probably got nervous when he was talking to you. Like when I got nervous talking to Letterman, you know? Loose. Yeah. Probably. I get that. I get where he's at. You just reminded me.

We touched on this either in person or on the pod and never circled back to the Corvette conversation. Let's save it for the next pod because I do want to get into... We got to save it. We'll save it for the next pod. We got a hot pod next week. Dude, a hot pod next week. Hot rod, hot pod. It's a hot rod, hot pod. And that's a... Yeah, that was it. Let's go. Let's get the fuck out of here. Episode of...

This is important. Bully. Hear that? Pumpkin. That's fall calling. And the pumpkin spice latte is back at Starbucks. From that first sweater to late autumn weather. It's all a fall in just one sip. Order ahead on the Starbucks app.
