Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important... I wore khakis exclusively until I moved to L.A. This is his heroin and tiny dick magazine. Postwater is underrated. I'm 40 years old now, and I finally understand your 25-year-old style. ♪
Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioio
Let's go, baby. Oh, there it is. Okay, cool. There it is. Now, have we covered that? Is that K-Fed's voice? Or is that somebody else that was in the studio saying Popo's out? Like his best homie, the wild guy? Yeah. Is that somebody that's just doing ad libs, or is that him? Yeah, it's just his homie, Derek. Yeah.
Derek, come in here and yell Popo Zao for me. Say Popo Zao how you say it. You do it the best. Little half dead? You do it the best. Yeah, let me give it a shot. Popo Zao! Thanks, Derek. That's hard to tell. I don't know if that's K-Fed or not. No, that's got to be K-Fed. Okay, okay, okay. It's Britney. It's Britney, bitch. It's Britney, bitch. It's Britney.
Oh, welcome. Welcome, everyone. Welcome. I'm rewatching Entourage as I do when I have a lot of downtime. I rewatch Entourage. I feel like you're always. How many EPS are there? How many EPS is in the whole thing? There's a lot, dude. There's like seven seasons. And by the time you get to season five, it's like you're clocking in to go to work. You're like, Jesus Christ. Come on, Vince. Get your shit together. Yeah. No joy. No joy. Yeah. You're just going to
You know, because we're on strike, so I have all this downtime, so I'm just kind of watching shit to fill the time. I guess I kind of forgot the early 2000s had such a specific look. Because when you're in it, that's when we first moved to California, or first moved to LA, and we...
We're young. We were 18 years old, you know, living, living in sunny SoCal. And you forget that there was like a true vibe in L.A. And can I tell you something? Please, Dersen.
I knew it had a vibe because I was fighting it so hard. You knew it had a vibe. I was fighting against the vibe. You were aware of the vibe? I was fighting against the vibe so hard. I love this. What was the vibe? Ders, I feel like you were the one that I was like, I'm tapping into Ders.
to get some of the vibe because him and his friends have the vibe you were the vibe no but if you think about that my friends had the vibe but think about me did i have the vibe yeah and we had no vibe what vibe are we fucking talking about because just the entourage vibe the the early 2000s los angeles vibe kyle you remember it we didn't have it yeah like the mcr vibe because i was mcr vibe i was like my chemical romance vibe is that what you're talking about or no we did not have the
the vibe. That's a San Diego thing, isn't it? I started to get the vibe. If you're talking about like American apparel, I started to get the vibe. I fought the vibe as long as I could. Blake always will get a vibe. Wherever he is, he seeks out the vibe. He changes his whole look to be part of that vibe.
The vibe was bootcut jeans. Okay, go off. The vibe, okay. Bootcut, what does bootcut mean? It was expensive denims. I feel like it was expensive denims. It was expensive bootcut denim. Ooh, G-Star Raw. It was V-neck t-shirts and it was trucker hats. It was Ashton Kutcher. Oh, I was on that vibe. Kutcher?
I was on that vibe. That's why you weren't on that vibe. I was on that vibe. Y'all are tripping. You come in here and you tell me that I'm not a part of this vibe? Yes, you were on the... Kyle, you were on the truck stop version of the vibe. The vibe was happening at a high level
of like the trucker hats were like $100 dumb trucker hats. He had trucker hats. Like the Von Dutch. Adam, you weren't aware of like the Von Dutch, especially coming from the Midwest. I was super aware of the vibe and I was like, fuck. Yes, Von Dutch was a vibe. Ed Hardy was a vibe. Dude, Kyle, you didn't have the vibe. You literally wore corduroy women's pants.
From the Salvation Army, the same pair every day, dude. No pockets on the butt. I think you still probably have those. Sounds like a vibe to me. That's a vibe. That is a vibe. And I did draw on my own trucker hat. That wasn't the vibe. I drew on my own trucker hats, though. So I was trying to participate in the vibe. Yeah, I was. And also just the watching Entourage, it reminds me of what celebrity was like in the early 2000s.
Oh, it was a vibe. Different. It was a vibe, as you put it. With TMZ everywhere and paparazzi truly being a real thing. Right. Paris Hilton. I feel like there still is paparazzi, but it's less of a clamoring for...
And is that because people are just on social media? Yeah. Social media. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. We took the power back. And you're like, oh yeah, we've seen them. Now they take photos of themselves and at restaurants. You don't have to do it. But also like everyone has cameras now. True. People used to have to run around with cameras to be like, I got them coming out of the Ivy restaurant. Yeah. Everyone is just like, yeah, no, I got them too. It's not a big deal. Yeah. Right.
For better or worse. So the vibe was saturated. Is that what's up? We saturated it? We saturated with photos? We've watered down the vibe. Yeah, it was a satch vibe. Yeah, satch paparazzi. And that's why there's not really a vibe anymore because people, they're out in themselves. We're vibeless. We're vibeless. Wow. We've reached a vibeless time. Well, to hearken back to Angus McCloud who passed, right? He had a vibe. Someone posted a clip of him
uh from the show where they're like you're not on social media and he's like no like like you you know why would i want the scraps of somebody just posting stuff when like i want to peel them apart like an onion and like discover the mystery and uh i think that that hits correct
Yeah, yeah. So who's the onion in that? What are you talking about? The kid from Euphoria who just passed away. Angus Cloud. Yeah, I just heard about this. I didn't watch that show at all. Did he... Do we know how he died? Was it drug-related or was it health-related?
It sounded like a drug-related, yeah. Yeah, I think it was dealing with some mental issues, some health issues. Yeah. That's a bummer. Yeah. Total bummer. But he called it out. I mean, whoever wrote the show called it out, but his character says it where it's like, the mystery's gone with social media. Everyone's just saying everything. So you're like, don't you have any like...
Keep it to yourself. I don't really care about it. I've got a fucking rash in my ass. Anyway, come to see my movie, Mission Impossible 3, Dead Reckoning. Totally true. Totally true. Yeah, I guess paparazzi isn't catching anyone anymore because everyone's just outing themselves. They're like, hey, I'm out here cheating on my wife with this hooker. Right. It's on my Instagram. Be sure and tune in. I'm at the Ivy fucking this hooker.
I'm going to get ahead of it, y'all. I'm going to be real honest. CSI Phoenix coming out. Check out for F9. I'm going to get ahead of it. I just shit my pants and cheated on my wife. It's all G, brother. Make sure you see Transformers 7. Change the narrative. We got control of this, okay? I'm purposely dive bombing. It's all good. Oh, my God. Yeah, I don't know, dude. It was kind of weird. I guess it's...
I was going to say, like... But I'm just like, no, you go. No, you go. No, you go. No, you go. It's fine. There was no...
It was literally no way of telling what was cool at all. I remember the first time I ever saw a Vice magazine and it blew my fucking mind. Like the fashion I saw. I remember you loving Vice magazine and the guy that started it ended up being a white supremacist. What do you say about that, Blake? It's my favorite guy. Everybody who had anything to do with Vice magazine turned out to be like total scumbags, guzzards. But.
scuzzards the actual the magazine was it I was just the fashion so all I knew was like billabong and quicksilver and then when I saw that I was like holy shit because yeah it was just like you're from a deep you're from a deep suburb with mall culture which is fine yeah and
And like, that's most people. And then when you tap into like a little something a little more niche, you're selling t-shirts for $10,000. So I didn't realize vice. I, every time I looked at vice, it was just like people doing heroin and like a little dicks. Yeah. It was fashion. I don't remember it being fashion. I just remember it being like seeing little penises and, and it was all news or something. It's fashion, music and culture. Yeah. It was music too. I,
I guess I don't even remember. I just remember it being news. But I guess that's after the first wave. Nope. That's Vice News. No, you're thinking of the TV show. You're thinking of the TV show. We're talking about that magazine that Blake used to have at the Workaholics House. Or even before then, I think. At the...
house on Packard. Yeah. Yeah. We had, he had that little magazine. I remember looking at a few times and being like, Oh, here's a man doing heroin. Here's like a guy's dick. Right. I don't remember fashion. I remember just thinking like, Oh, this is his heroin and tiny dick magazine. Yeah.
I don't remember there being fashion. What was the fashion? Well, if you got past the dicks and looked at what shirt he was wearing, it was pretty cool. That's right. And like photography and skating. It was counterculture. Yeah, I kind of remember the skateboarding element because you also had the CCS magazines coming in, which was like skate decks and fucking skate clothes. That used to be my favorite. Oh, dude. CCS was...
So legit. That was like before zoomies and all that when you would actually get like the skateboarding catalogs and they had to, yeah, just like flip through like jeans and shit. It was so cool. Dude, think pants, bro. I want to think pants so bad. Fuck. Dude, pants. Bro, think pants. I remember going to like, uh, what was that store that was like, it was basically Pacific somewhere, but super, uh,
Super SoCal. What was it? Trillies? Tilly's? Dude, I remember going to the Tilly's for the first time and it was just like all Southern California type clothing and just being a boy from the little kid from the Midwest moving there and like I'm wearing like a polo or some dumb shit and I'm like, yeah. Polos were okay. I'm like...
God, thank God. I'm ready to cash in here and just become SoCal. Polos are sick. You were all Famous Stars and Strapped up. Oh, that's a big one. Yeah, I'm just wearing Dickie's shorts. That's fucking MCR. That feels MCR to me. Famous Stars and Strapped feels my chemical romance to me.
Is that? No, that was Travis Barker's company. I feel like Chili's kind of started to lean on bro. There's your loss. I know it's Travis Barker, but I'm saying like they feel like the vibe is still in the same kind of thing, right? I mean, Famous Stars and Straps was like punk culture. Yeah, it was around the same time. It was like pop punk, pop punk shit. I feel Famous Stars and Straps was more like
Yeah, I feel like My Chemical Romance was more gothic in a way. Oh, macabre? Macabre. Macabre. Macabre. I'm a dude. Yeah, I don't know. My Chemical Romance probably was more like, yeah, like a hot topic. Emo? Weren't they more emo than goth? It's emo. It's like the hot pink van stripes, you know? I'm not even in this world, but I know fashion.
You missed a really cool boat, man. I don't know what Tillys is. You never jumped on skate or surf culture, right? You're mostly outdoorsy mountains. When I moved to LA, I definitely bought rainbow sandals because I was like, oh, these are super duper comfortable and I rocked those hard.
But no, never. I was not a poser like Blake. No. No. What the fuck, dude? I stay strapped up. Yeah, I know. With what? Wait, what? What does that mean? I just was like, am I going to dress like a skater that doesn't skate? No. Dude, I like that Ders just called Blake a poser and then he says, I stay strapped up. Honestly. What does that mean? Famous stars and strapped. What do you mean? I...
That's what I was talking about. Jesus. I would never dress like a culture that wouldn't have me, I guess is what I'm saying. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? Oh, Blake, come on. I've seen Blake skateboard before. Well, that being said, dude, that being said, I definitely am not a skateboarder. I don't surf. And I wore all that shit, too. So I'm with you, Blake. Yeah, but you got even more of a vibe because you're not like outwardly projecting the vibe. So it works on you. It doesn't quite. Oh, thank you, Kyle. Thank you, Kyle. What are you guys even talking about? I didn't wear a lot of stuff. I don't know. I think my friend.
My friends, Anders and Kyle are kind of shitting on you, Blake, and your whole vibe. I don't know. I don't get it, but I had one zero. I had one zero shirt. Zero skateboarders make cool graphics. What are you talking about? You saw me and you thought I was dressing aggressively skateboarder Anders.
I thought you were, weren't you? These are your words. I'm not saying anything. You're telling me where you shopped and what you bought. And so I'm like, great. Those are like skater gear, but you're not a skater. And I guess that's fine, but I wouldn't do that. Does that make sense? Yeah, that makes sense. What kind of jeans was I supposed to wear? CCS or nothing, dude. Think jeans, dude. That's fine. That's fine. I stay strapped.
up have you heard of levi's and strauss yeah he stays strapped up i mean wranglers i don't know what to tell you should i wore wranglers wear some tommy's just wear some tommy hair figures what's wrong what's wrong with that no not wranglers because you're not you're not a fucking uh rodeo boy the fact that there's not lucky stores all over anymore like they've disappeared
Adam was the first guy I ever saw rocking Lucky, and you showed me the fly. That's because of the grove. You got to get the Lucky jeans, and then the fly on the inside says Lucky You, which- Such a move. Are you saying the only jeans I could wear were Kirkland jeans because that's non-affiliated with any sort of subculture? What is a neutral jean? What are you talking about? That's the best subculture. Do I need to say Levi's one more time? Yeah, Levi's.
Wrangler. What is happening? Levi's jeans. Yeah. What's for me? That's associated with gang members. I don't know. They strapped up. Yeah. Associated with gang members. You don't know. You don't know those gang members, but you stay strapped up. I just love that. You're like, what is a jeans brand that I could possibly wear when like Levi's is so synonymous with just blue jeans. Yeah.
That's crazy to me. They didn't have the... They were late to the skinny jean party, though, and I was on that, dude. Come on. Yeah, Blake always had the skinniest jeans. You were definitely on that. I'm a jerk, I know. You're a jerk, I know. I know. New boys, come on, dude. And by the way, I'm done here. I feel like our crew didn't take a lot of big swings. I mean, we took some swings, but sometimes you look at photos of like... When you see like...
millennial gifts of people like, oh, we're going to have to tell our kids we went through this phase. And then it's just like bangs in front of your eyes and like super emo, like that whole scene. I'm glad none of us went that hard down that path.
None of us rocked a faux hawk. Yeah. I'm not a big swing guy. I just kind of wait every 20 years for my style to kind of be back for a few months. And then I go back like a cicada or a locust. I think that's why we all thought you were way older than you were. Because you always just sort of dressed like you were a young dad. And you were like 23 years old. And we were like...
I'm like 40 years old. I'm 40 years old now, and I finally understand your 25-year-old style. I feel like I can wear what you were wearing when you were 25. Dadcore? I was wearing old New Balance old man shoes, and I was wearing polos. Yeah, it's dope. I would spank strangers' kids in the mall. Yeah, like nice shorts you were wearing. Hey, no running here.
You were wearing Dockers or something, weren't you? I wore khakis exclusively until I moved to LA. And I was like, I got to fucking get a pair of jeans or I'm not going to be able to get into a bar. Fucking... I don't know, man. You know? And then what kind of jeans...
Like AG jeans. You dressed kind of Christian, but you're not about it. So maybe you're the poser, brother. Unless you could quote a verse in the Bible with those khakis on. What's up? I feel like just more like a preppy style. And I feel like as a swimmer, as that's one of the country club sports, I think I'm playing my part.
I think you are. I feel like you're not posing. So why don't you play your part? I feel like this is all like kind of focusing in on Blake's like inability to figure out where he actually sits. Where he actually lands in fashion. What am I? Well, now he's ingratiated himself into the skate culture with his friends, you know, Tiba and that whole clique. So now he's so in deep that no one can tell he doesn't know how to stand on the skateboard or...
do sick kickflips or what have you. No one could tell. Y'all are fucked up, man. Leave me alone. Yeah. And Adam just needed to fit in. And I like Blake, you're from California. Right. You know, so I skate skate culture has permeated my
This culture out here on the West Coast. You weren't really skate culture in high school. You did it once you moved to L.A. when you were in the Mecca of cool. Yeah. When you were in the Mecca of cool. I tried to. What are you talking about? I tried to skateboard. It's getting hot in here.
Did you skate in high school? I don't remember you skating at all. I tried to. I'm not good at skateboarding. The two things I've ever wanted to be in my life is either a professional basketball player or a pro skater. I think those would be the coolest lots in life. Basketball. Basketball. You definitely sat in basketball senior year in a major way. I remember that. Sat in basketball? Yeah, I just didn't have it. I didn't have it on a board. I wasn't good. I fucking sucked. And you're not good at it.
either of those things what what was your thing that you were good at he's good at basketball chill out he's fucking good at basketball chill on your boy bro no he's not he's pretty good he's fine is he good I don't know he can't go to a gym and like play in a legit game what are
You guys never see me on a court. Yes, I have. Adam has. Yeah, we have actually been on a court with you. Wow. You're not good. What is this? I'm logging off. I mean, you can dribble a basketball and you can, you know. I broke my back, dude. I used to be really good. And then I broke my back and it derailed that dream. I remember before you broke your back. I played basketball with you before you broke your back. We've known each other very long.
a long time. Adam, when we all used to play, when we used to play basketball in like 2002 on the beach in Newport, Blake was actually pretty, he was a solid player. No, no. Thank you. Do you not remember that? For you guys, like in your friend group. Yeah, no, I remember and he wasn't. None of us were good. Well, what am I, what
am I saying? I'm not saying go up against Michael Jordan. I'm saying like he's a... Okay, so yeah, there's your friend group and Michael Jordan and nothing in between. Rarely. TK was the best at basketball out of all of us. Don't let him hear this. And he also isn't that good. You know what I mean? Right. Like you think TK's the best at basketball out of all of us? I'm not letting him have that. Well, genetically we're all small. We're all small. We're never going to be basketball players. Like genetically you have to be a certain height to be a
a good basketball player. Not true. I don't know. Aren't you like six foot one? Yeah, you're over six. You can play. God, no. Heavens, no. Wait, what? How tall are you? I thought you were six one. I think I'm like 5'11".
No way you're up over 6 He's not over 6 I'm definitely not 6'1 I'm definitely not 6'1 I like that you've said 6 feet tall I gave you an extra inch You've said 6 feet tall the entire time I've ever known you I think he's 6 feet Now you're making yourself shorter To give yourself an out for not being good I broke my back and I lost an inch What are you fucking talking about He has no idea where he fits in
I'm a theater major. No, you are. You're a comedian. That's why the skaters love you. See, that's where you fit in, Blake. That's where you fit in. Drama? Skaters love comedy, bro. Look at it. You're in with the right crew. You're there. Leave me the fuck alone, guys. They need a funny guy cracking jokes. This isn't important. This shit's not important.

Do you guys think an under 6'3 basketball league would be able to take off in a major way? That's kind of cool. Short basketball. That's a really good idea. Because do you know how many unbelievable basketball players there are under 6 feet that are just like, I can't play because I can't shoot over a fucking 6, 7 foot
center or whatever. Right. Sure. But if everybody's under six, three, I bet the game's way more athletic, way more exciting. Well, there's a bunch of professional basketball players that are six, three, like Chris Paul is like six, two. I'm not, I don't, I don't disagree. I don't, I know. I don't disagree, but if it were capped, Chris Paul is an extraordinary example of somebody who is not that tall, but can excel in that league. And,
But there's thousands and thousands of absolute ballers that are like six feet tall. I think it has to go shorter. I think you have to say if you're short basketball, you have to say it's six feet and under. Yeah. Now you're like, who the fuck's playing this?
Now it's a bunch of like... Well, me and Blake have it in. I know, but now it's a bunch of like real short dogs. Now you're like lowering the rim. No, but I... You don't have to dunk. Fine, fine. Six feet. Yes, you do have to dunk. What the fuck are you talking about? But these people are dunking. You do need to lower the rim for sure. Nate Robinson's dunking. That's true. That's an exceptional talent. But I think that it would be... I think it would be probably a more exciting game than...
professional basketball because the big men, they're not as athletic as you would hope. What? Go ahead, sorry. Yes, big men. 69, dudes! They're known as big men. I thought you were a basketball player or a skater. I'm not sure. Go ahead. The big men aren't that fun to watch generally. They kind of are just like in the way. This is a weird take. Well, he's promoting his new league, dude. Who's the most exciting big man outside of like Shaq? Well, you just took mine.
I know, but outside of Shaq, who's the most exciting big man to watch? Giannis? Hmm.
Yeah, he's humongous. Yeah, the guy's great. The freak. We got to Kevin Durant. A hundred years. Yao Ming. Kevin Durant's not a big man. Blake Griffin. Yeah, pow. I mean, all these guys are. See, the big man has changed. So now Kevin Durant is six foot eleven. He's huge. He's very tall. He ain't a big man, though. He's a shooting forward. Well, yes, but the game has changed. I feel like old. Can you describe what a big man is?
A big man is like the dude in the commercials who has the big hands full of the Cheez-Its. Who's like taco neck syndrome? Boban Marjanovic. Boban is a big man. He's not exactly exciting to watch. Who was the guy who was in My Giant? George something. What was that guy's name? Right? It's George something. Marisol? Marisol, right? I don't know.
I don't know. I say on days. I saw him play basketball one time. Is that a Billy Crystal movie where he's like leaning against the guy? Yeah. On the cover. Very good movie. Anyway. Never seen the movie, but I definitely know the cover. Me neither, but very good. But what I'm saying is imagine if everybody on the floor could jump out the gym and shoot. And it's not just about like...
I don't know, standing there and blocking. I don't know. It just seems like it would be a very exciting game. That's WNBA. Well, I would love that. I would love that. I would love under six feet basketball. We lower the hoops. They're now eight feet. No, no, don't lower the hoops. These people don't need it lowered, Adam. These people are joking. You're six foot three. You're a big man. You're out. This isn't your sport. If you were more athletic, you could be in the NBA.
But you're not. Okay. What are you doing? Lowering them to what? Like nine feet? I took my talents to swimming. I just said, I said eight feet.
Then you just have big men. Guys. Then you just have more big men. No, you guys are just. If you lower the hoop, you just have another classification of big men, according to how Ders is. Exactly. You guys, you're completely ignoring slam ball. The sport is on fire right now. And you need to watch. What is this? Unless they're on rollerblades. I don't give a fuck. Is that the sport you're good at? I'm great at basketball.
on rollerblades is actually fun. Did we find out the sport that Blake's good at? Slam ball? Yes. I'm going to be a slam ball all-star. Kyle, get in the water. What's the deal? What's up? Bro, if you think your broke bag was bothering you before, get on a trampoline and try and launch. It's trampoline basketball and you can tackle and stuff.
Oh, yeah. No, I'm out. There's no fucking way. That's going to. My knees would explode. My hip would shatter. My groin. I will say the only time my back kind of hurts is when I'm on a trampoline. Blake, why are you dressed like Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China right now?
What can I wear, Ders? Please explain to me what I can wear. We don't know. We're trying to figure it out. Honestly, this you can wear because I know where your heart is. I know where your heart is. Oh. Kurt Russell resides in your vows. I'm scared of you, mother fucker. See, that's it. Your whole scene is like acting in comedy, dude. That's your whole scene. I want you to dress like movie characters every day. I want you to be a cosplay dude of just 90s and 80s action comedies. You can pull this off. What if I start wearing Joker makeup? Well,
Why? Blake is always in cosplay. Either he's dressed as like a cool rock and roll dude or a skater. I have long hair. You guys are putting me in a box and I don't like it. What do you mean? No, we're not. We're just trying to help you out. Actually, I feel like you are. You're on a zoom. So technically you are in a box for me.
Like, why are you put in a box? Please explain yourself. I don't need your help. All right? That's what I'm telling you guys. What's on the bottom half of your outfit right now? What's on the box? What's the bottom half? Is it shorts or is it... Oh, basketball shorts. Is it b-ball shorts? Umbros. Umbros. And you did play soccer. He was a soccer player. Okay, so I can wear that. I will let you. Okay, so...
Who's that guy from The Bear? Jeremy Allen White or what was that guy's name? Tim Allen. Huh? You know, that new show, The Bear. He's hot. Yeah. Are you trying to look like him now? Because he's wearing a lot of tank tops lately. Here we go. Tanks are hot. What the fuck? And he's considered the hot boy. Bro, we need paparazzi. I did see yesterday. It was like, if you're going to go on the picket lines, you got to wear sleeveless shirts. I'm living in a nightmare.
I was out there with a tank top before him. You can check the timestamp. Go on Atiba's Instagram. I rocked the tank top and then Homeboy showed up in a tank top. I'm not saying he saw the post, but... And you guys do kind of look alike. He's very handsome. Yeah. We got to get Blake on the bear. Except for the hair, obviously. The hair is... Hairnet. No, dude. I think you're way more handsome than him.
Really? Blake, I think you're way hotter. He's more sexy, but you are more handsome. He's more brooding. You're just a more likable, funny guy. He's more like that intense... You know how women like guys that seem like they...
are going to kill themselves. Like he needs to be saved. Yes, exactly. He looks like he's on the edge and if you save him, he'll fucking bring it out. You win at life. Yeah, he's like, he's deep in it. I want to hear his deep thoughts. You, I just kind of want you to be funny and act. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't even know if you want to hear his deep thoughts. I think he's like standing on the edge of a cliff and you have to
Maybe you want to hear all his thoughts on God. I don't know. And if you talk him down and then he marries you or he dates you, he'll fuck your brains out. And that's why I think women like it. Right. In like a passionate way. Passion. Yes. Like can't control the passion. Passion everywhere. Passion, passion everywhere. Yeah. Passion all over your face. There's passion all over the place. You're saying women don't see that when they see me?
Well, you're like a funny guy. You know what I mean? You're like, women are saying that. Yeah. I think they don't say Blake's. It starts with the hair. I'll tell you what. It starts with the hair. None of us have that Blake. None of us. Yeah. None of us have the brooding, like tough guy. It's okay. Uh,
Adam hit it on the head when he goes, he looks like he's about to cry. He's super tough seeming, but at the same time, something's going on. Those eyes are ready to cry. Yeah, I think I have that. I think I have that. You guys don't think I have that? He's just stoned. He might be just stoned. You're not crying, though. You're blubbering. You're like, hey!
Right, right. I'm not tough. I'm not tough when I cry. You're blubbering, but your hands are bleeding because you just punched a bunch of drywall that you're going to have to get fixed. Yeah, I hurt myself. I hurt myself. You punched through a wall, and then the next day you had to drywall it up and repaint the room. When this dude smokes cigarettes, people are like, I want to smoke. When people see you smoking, they're like, I got to quit. I'm going to turn up like this guy.
You know, I did see that dude at the Emmys last year smoking a ton of cigarettes. Like that bro smokes a lot of ciggies and I wanted to smoke. I did. I wanted to fall back in. Yeah. After, yeah, he kind of makes, I've never smoked a cigarette my life. And, uh,
loser watching him. I'm kind of like, maybe I should start smoking. It's kind of tight. Yeah, dude. Never too late. If you haven't, if you haven't started or had a, you could have that chapter and you'd probably be all right. You could probably open up that chapter right now, dude. Are we saying he's going to be, what is it? Time? Sexiest man a year or who does, who does the sexiest man? Yeah, it's time. It's national geographics. Most animalistic man. Uh,
Yeah, it's People Magazine. You should know because I'm sure you subscribe to the magazine, Blake. Yeah, I'm sure. Vice, The Source, Us Magazine, People Magazine, Highlights Magazine, DCS. US Magazine. US Magazine. We got to get Blake on the bear. I feel like he could fit right in. Yeah. Yeah.
And I've only watched two episodes, but yeah. Dude, there's a lot of homies on the bear, too. Yeah, you're homies with Lionel, right? Lionel, yeah, dude. It's so cool seeing him come up. Holler at your boys? Yeah, Lionel's the man. Yeah, and he does a really great job on that show, too. He was always a super...
really nice guy and uh it's good to uh see him do as well as he's doing and he's great on the show dude him and taco travis on on dave he kills it too all those they're doing it all those young odd future cats getting in tv and just slaying it yeah that's awesome yeah look at your boy on the bear man loiter squad we gotta get you on the bear we'll get you in there we'll figure it out yeah okay
Yeah. I'm stoked on that. Well, we're not in charge, Durs. We can't just put him on the bear. He's probably not shooting right now. Dude, Durs. You didn't know I could do that? Oh. You got to make some phone calls? Yeah. You think you got pitch perfect without me? Okay. You made a few calls? You made a few calls? Damn, dude. Please don't stop the music. Wow. Hey. Beautiful, Adam. So, Norway. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I went. I was going to do it.
Dude, you went to the Fajard land. I went to my homeland and I basically want to pick up where we left off. I don't know how many weeks ago it was because Blake had just been shitting his brains out and barfing his shit out.
Oh, right. You hit the flight and you were fucking like bugged out. And I was like, well, guess what? And my family, two of my kids just went through that in the last 48 hours. And I'm about to fly to Norway. Let's see how it goes. Oh, shit. Did you get it on the plane? So we get on the plane. How long is that flight? Yep. Here we go. So we did LA to...
to finland to helsinki and then helsinki to oslo and so that's a 10-hour flight from la to helsinki and so we're watching movies the kids are like doing their thing uh they start falling asleep i stay up because i'm just like whatever is your party and watching movies uh emma's in her little cube with uh the baby and then she comes by and she's like
I don't feel good. I'm like, oh shit. So she spends the entire night on the airplane in the bathroom. And I'm like, red light. Nobody else can use it. This sucks. This sucks. Oh my God. Worst ever. Then we land, we get to Oslo and we get in this like van that was going to take us to our Airbnb. And in the van, I had taken two barf bags from the plane because I was just like, yeah,
I don't know if she's going to barf again. I don't know what's happening. We get in the van within like 15, 20 minutes of this 30 minute drive. I'm like,
Just getting that hot mouth. I pulled the bag out and I just go. It's just barf in this bag. I haven't gotten sick like that in like since you're a kid. That's wild. It hit so hard. And by the way, so it only lasts like eight hours. Yeah, it's crazy. Kids had it over. Wife had it over.
I had it for like 36 hours of just like deep, deep barfing where like my abs were getting shredded. So vacation kind of ruined? No, no, no. Cause I was there for nine days. Like at least the first like day and a half. First day and a half. Did you get your sixer back? You got your six pack back? Yeah. Were you looking hot? Yeah. Fully jacked. Yeah.
Fuck yes. You were looking shredded? Yeah. Flu abs are so hot. But so then did Oslo, did Bergen, which is like a more like a port town type place. And it was fucking sick. Went on a fjord tour. Fjord tour? Yeah. What is the vibe of Norway? The vibe is...
People don't talk to you. Okay, cool. I like that. Yeah, right? It's like very cold, blue-eyed, blonde-haired, kind of beautiful, stern, beautiful people. Yeah, a lot of that. A lot of me looking at people being like...
We look the same. This is crazy. We took a train through a town where my great-great-grandparents are from, which was pretty rad to be like, there it is. There's people here who are maybe my fifth cousins or whatever. Just like at their...
shoe cobblery. I'm just kidding. I don't know what the fuck it is. You know, they probably work at a fucking video game store. Uh, but that was pretty weird. Yeah. They're a GameStop, you know, that's cool. Weederschnitzel. Yeah. So were, were people kind of, uh, cold? Everyone minds their business. Yeah.
They're not the warmest people. Not a lot of like, hey, how are you? There's no pleasantries, really. It's like you. Yeah, it answers everything. This is cool. Everyone's just matter of fact. Ice cold. Cuts you to your core. I kept seeing people strangling cats and I was like, okay, all right. Now we're home. That seems like a Durst thing. Yeah.

Fish balls? It's just bread and sausages and fish.
That doesn't sound too bad. Fish soup, right? What is this? Wundekraken? What was the shit that we had? And not like spicy. Well, Adam, but not like a blackened fish or something with a little something on it. There's nothing on it. They pickle their fish. Like white pickled fish? Pickled. It's a bagel. I'd eat that. Yeah, they're pickling fish. Yeah. I'd eat that, though. Yeah, you're from the Midwest. I feel like it might be in your palate. What is that? Like a sardine is a pickled fish? Is that a pickled fish? That's right.
Or is it like gefilte fish or something? Yeah, I guess so. Like pickled herring. Yeah, like that. That's gross. That's disgusting. Oh, dude. I think it sounds horrible, but I actually think I dig it. Yeah. No, man. I will throw up. It's like it's tearing me. Yeah, dude. I mean, all food. If you just go like all foods delicious, then it is, you know?
Oh, okay. Interesting. Yeah, if you're just in a cool country and you try their delicacies, it's like, yeah, it's delicious. But it's not even a delicacy. It's not like, hey, this is our life. It's like, this is just Tuesday. And eating it four days a week or something would be a lot. Basically, Italian food has taken over. Oh, damn. Bucca di Peppo? Everything is pasta. Yeah, they just figured it out. They're like,
Like, have you had spaghetti? It's actually fucking gangster. Yeah, it's really good. Spaghetti's hell good. That's how living in Berlin was like. It was like we were like want to seek out like real German food. Right. And the couple times we did were like, oh, it was just like I ordered like the beef whatever. And it was just a bowl of soup with like beef in it.
right and i'm like well this isn't like a stew this is kind of just like wet and and then i was like oh does german food does it kind of suck and everyone was like yeah no for sure this sucks yeah right there's great food now it's like every other type of food is there yeah and yeah they're like no we're eating japanese food like there's a really good sushi restaurant right across the street and you're like oh
A lot of sushi. Dude, what's up with Europe coming hell a week to food game? Yeah, I don't know. Well, we just explained that Italian food is pretty good. That is Europe, isn't it? I would say Northern Europe, the palate is just not very accustomed to spicy. They just did like bland potatoes, bread, fish. That's gross. Probably not a lot of gastrointestinal diseases. Have you ever been to Italy, Blake?
Or just briefly, you went to visit Kyle when he was shooting in Monaco, right? Or not Monaco, to Lake Como. No, we were in Como. Yeah. You were in Como, right? It was unreal. No Como? Yeah. It was unreal. It was amazing. No Como. No, I went to Como. Dude, the food in Italy, it's so unreal how...
I got to get there. It's so much better at the, like, just the most basic random place that you swing in for lunch where you're like, we'll just grab some food here. And it's so much better than, like, the best Italian food you've had here in America. Right. Like, it's just crazy. Yeah, it's kind of wild. Yeah, man. Carb up. You got to get them carbs. They're not afraid of carbs. Dude, it's yummy as fuck. Let's go. Dude, it's...
It's all al dente out there. Well, sure. But I mean, you can have carbs at a nice Italian restaurant here in the States and it won't be as good tasting as the most regular restaurant in Italy. No, that's true. For whatever reason. That's true. It's good. They just nail it over there. They take their time. Every time I had... I mean...
They would take their time in the kitchen over there in Italy, right? I mean, like, that shit's not coming out very quick. You're sitting there. I like to tell a waiter, hey, make sure they make it with love in there, all right? Yeah, no, you're sitting there. You really are. You're sitting there for a while. Like, you're not even popping in and getting a fucking meal. Like, you can't pop in and get a 30-minute meal in Italy. That's not happening.
Dude, the cheeseburger at Big Bites is the quickest fucking burger ever to make. No como. It's gross, man. You got to chill, bro. You got to chill. Let the kitchen do their thing. I got to get to Italy. Yeah. Yeah, Italy's fire. I got to get to Italy. Yeah, the fact that you've never been to Italy is kind of bizarre. I feel like that needs to be your next vacay. It's troubling. Because it is...
It's my favorite place for sure. Yeah, what's up? I mean, I couldn't go to... I had to do Norway. I had to do Norway and get that off the... Yeah, you got to do Norway. So wait, what's the verdict on Norway? Is it pass? Bergen... So here's the deal. Also, Oslo, which is like the major city, was a little sleepy because I think during the summer, everybody jets to...
everywhere else in Europe or to like the country house. Right. Yeah, exactly. Uh, so it was a little sleepy, but Bergen was fucking cool. Bergen had a vibe. Remember how we went to Sydney and you're like, Oh, this is beautiful, but it didn't have the same. It didn't have a vibe like, uh, Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne had a vibe. Yeah. Yeah. Bergen had a cool vibe and I enjoyed that. So what did, I mean, what was it like traveling with all the kids? Was that just sort of mayhem? It was a absolute nightmare. Yeah.
It's gotta be, dude. Well, you're also throwing up and Emma's throwing up so that can't make it better. Yeah, right. But it was just like fucking bananas. Like halfway through the trip, I'm yelling at them constantly. Yeah, they don't give a shit about any culture. Nothing. So they're not like, oh, an old place. Cool.
Like, do they care? No, Arnie is deep into history and military history. We went to a military museum that talked about like a lot about World War II. He's obsessed with that. He's like this. He loves Hitler. Dude, World War II. Yeah, huge Hitler fan. World War II is nuts. No, but he loves that. And Norway is all about how they like tried to fight the Nazis. But like, you know, they tried.
Yeah, they took a shot. And Hitler's like, what are you guys doing? I'm, you, carte blanche. You guys are good to go. Don't worry. You're in with me. I got you. We appreciate that. We just don't like your vibe. You're very loud. We're quiet here. His vibe was pretty whack, though.
Yeah. Admittedly, I think that's kind of a universal thing when it comes to Hitler is that his vibe is whack. It was off. It was off. A little funky. It was a whack vibe, I feel. Bro was a poser, man. He was. Trying to be Charlie Chaplin and shit. My kid loves the dictator. And they're actually doing a live... They're doing Charlie Chaplin's dictator on their Broadway or whatever they're... Anyway.
Oh, really? That's fucking cool. They liked it. But I'm like, we're in a foreign country. You're like running around like that's a street. Cars are driving. Like, yeah, just yelling and shaking my baby. You know, I'm crying. Yeah, yeah.
Trying to control the situation, dude. It seems kind of nuts to take three kids all the way over there. Did you come? But I'll be honest. They were so good. Oh, good. But like they just didn't. They were good. They weren't like bad. They just weren't listening to me about like.
things that could be dangerous, right? If we're going on like a hike. Also, I mean, as a father, you're probably on like high alert being in another space and trying to like watch them and say, yeah, that's stressful, right? Always. The whole time where you're like, God, we're so American. Like, shut up. We're so loud right now. No one else is loud. No, because I put on these super short Norwegian shorts that I was wearing. So I felt like I fit.
Right in. Yeah. There you go. That's so tight. Yeah. Good job. Shout out Amundsen. They make the best stuff. What about like, because when I think of Norway, I think of like Norwegian, like black metal and stuff. Did you guys do anything along those lines? Yeah. I took my children to- Did you take the kids to any Norwegian death metal where they sacrifice a person? Yeah. We just one goat sacrifice and we were like, this is cool. Wow. Wow.
No. I think that Norwegian black metal is kind of like... For dorks? What is the equivalent? It's just kind of like clickbaity. I don't think it's a big deal there. Really? But I think it sounds like a cool thing and they export it to us and we're like, oh yeah. I don't think it's a big deal there. My poser ass was like, yeah dude, that's what it's all about. Fuck.
Well, yeah, because it sounds very specific and, you know, but yeah, I don't think it's... Definitely read about it in Vice. That is where I got introduced to it. Yeah, you know. But they said they like burn churches and shit. It sounded kind of crazy. What do you mean, dude? Yeah, I don't know, man. And that's what you loved about it, Blake? You know...
I think it was like, you know, it's almost as we have militias, right? But like, obviously not everybody's in a militia. Right. And you don't really know anyone that's in a militia, but you know that they're there and they live. What's the rap music that they're doing now? Or they're just calling people out in the songs and like, Oh, drill, drill, like Chicago drill. I don't expect anybody to come to America and be like, and I took the kids to a drill music show.
And it was actually pretty cool. Yeah, Glowgang. They love Cheat Keith. He's really accessible. Yeah, so I think it's not as big as we've made it out to be. So drill music, Blake, explain that to me because I don't really know. They just call people out. What do you mean? Being like...
Blake's a bitch. Fuck him. Yeah, it's kind of like, it's basically like rapping about like the murders you've done in your neighborhood. It's all just like. Oh, and the ones you want to do. And then posting that on social, hoping or hope, like basically posting on social so they see it. And then the police like listen to this and go like, okay, well now we. Yes. Well, that seems stupid.
It's been a whole thing. But lawyers are like, you can't. It's an art form. They're just rapping about it. It's not real. And it's a whole thing now. Oh, it's that fucking loophole, right. But then it ends up being real and then these guys end up going to prison for...
Because some of them... I think some people have been arrested because of it. And that's the reason why I won't start doing it. I just am like... Good. Smart. I agree. Good job. That's what's holding me back. Our pod is kind of a drill pod, but it's like we just throw the allegedly on it. I mean, when I put those short shorts on, dude, the drill vibe just kind of squirts out of me. You're going to get drilled. We just sort of call out...
Teenage pop stars that we're having beef with. Yeah, dude. I mean, this podcast is like a drill pod for sure. Yeah, it's a drill pod. It's a drill pod. And by the way, anybody out there who's associated with drill music, please don't kill us. Please don't hurt us. I promise you we're harmless. We're fine. Yeah, we're just joshing. Yeah, it's a joke. We're just out here joshing. We probably like your music. We probably think you're cool.
Blake for sure does. Blake is on board. I'm not strapped. I know I said I was strapped. I'm not strapped. I'm going to come clean, y'all. I'm not strapped. I don't own any straps. I'm a really nice guy. Oh, my God. I'm a really nice guy. I'm just a poser. Real talk. Real talk. Yeah. Real talk. No. Halfway through the trip, I was just like, I don't think my kids listen to me. I'm like a bad dad. All I do is go like, hey, guys, go.
Get over here now. I just am trying to like be sweet and nice. And then I like lose it. It's so hard. No. It's so hard. So was it just you and Emma? Did you have anyone else? Did you have anyone else there to help take care of the kids? Because I feel like that's the move is you need to take like. No, no family. Well, we've done that.
We did that in Hawaii where we had a week with family and that was dope because like the older kids were taking care of the little kids and we were all able to sit around and talk. Then we stayed another week, just me and my wife and the two kids. And it was actually fucking hard, dude. It's like got no relief. Reality check.
Yeah. I mean, we brought our nanny places, we brought family places and it's always terrific and we couldn't do it without them. But then we were just like, this is what people do. Yeah. They fly first class to Europe and deal with stuff. No,
No, you know, like obviously there was like terrific aspects of the trip that like aren't normal or whatever. But like we were just like, I feel like we can do this on our own. And we were wrong. We were wrong. Well, you did it though. Hey, I'm going to give you a – We did it. Yeah, you did it. You did it. It's not easy at all and you made it through. Good job. And it was very cool to like – we took the kids around to like the street signs and
a lot of them are named after people much like here and we they would like see their names on the walls and shit and be like oh shit that's tight let's steal it yeah so yeah no you don't steal it because then they beat the shit out of you in the streets and go you are an example wait what yeah what is punishment out there is it pretty strict it's death you have to listen to death metal
I knew it. Death metal, that's what it is. No, I think actually... Death metal penalty. So there was the mass murderer dude who killed a hundred people at that summer camp a few years ago. Oh, yeah. I believe is the only person who's ever gotten a life sentence. But other than that, I think...
They're super deep into rehabilitation. And I think the max sentence, this was on like a fucking vice news, maybe like the max sentence is like 11 years. And basically you just go to a farm and they're like, right, dude, here, just grab this. We need you to pull that plow, like help us out. And they just kind of rehabilitate people by giving them like purpose and like slave labor. Uh,
It's super... But it's like you're doing something. Like, you're contributing and...
you leave there being like, ah, I want to be of service out there too. I want to get back to society. Interesting. Yeah. But like, you know, it's different than America. America is just fucking a little wilder, a little crazier here. Wow. Wow. West get in the box. Yeah. Yeah. But there's like a lot of like, whatever happened to that serial killer that he like had multiple like torture chambers underneath his house. The guy that looked exactly like you. Yeah. This guy. Oh,
Oh, yeah. Yes, that man. The man that looked almost identical to Anders who murdered tons of people. He didn't get the life sentence? That was not... He's not Norwegian. He's from Germany, I think. Or Austria? Oh.
Austrian. I think he was Austrian. Let me check the biography. Like 17 doors or whatever he had. Let me just flip through the biography real quick. Yeah, dude. He had a basement family and it was really crazy. By the way, I remember talking about this in the room. I'm being like, 18 doors. Right. Like six, four...
18 doors. Who at Home Depot was not... Selling this guy doors. I think he's part of the problem. Another door. To rehash this story, explain... I really don't remember. Right on time. So topical. I don't remember either, but a guy looked like me and had an inbred family in his basement behind 18 doors. Yeah. It's the whole world gone crazy!
No, just this guy. This was years ago. This was like 10 years ago. Yeah. So it was a Saw movie underneath his house. Here, ready? Yeah. Yeah. It's exactly like him. It looks exactly like him. Yes, exactly like him. And we'll put another picture next to the, yeah. But yeah, it's Saw movie. The dude like dug out a basement and- So he would like fuck a woman, impregnate her, and then raise the kids and then like fuck the kids? Is that what was happening?
down there? Yes. Rinse, repeat. Yes. It was bad. It was bad. I'm sorry. He would not even rinse. He would not even rinse. He was Satan. Yeah. We got to find out what happened to that man because you have to put him down. If he's just like on a farm somewhere. No, dude. They gave him 11 years. They let him grow cucumbers and they're like, it's all right now. Yeah.
He just raised some cherry tomatoes and they let him go. He can't go to Home Depot, all right? No more doors for you. No more doors for you, buddy. Yeah, that's the one place he's banned from. I do love that he gets out in 10 years, goes to Home Depot, and he's like, can I get any doors? And they're like, okay, welcome back. Let's get you these batteries and you get the hell out of here. Hey, our best customer. Look who it is. Hey, doorman. Doorman. Doorman. You know...
No one has ever bought as many doors as this guy. Anyway, let's ring you up this chainsaw. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's a lot of tape. That's a lot of tape, my guy. That's a lot of rope, brother. Hey, tape man. They keep giving him awards at the hardware store for buying the most amount of tape and rope and doors. All right.
Hey, you don't need to take my photo. No, no one has ever bought 18 doors before. Hey, boss, you know the door guy we're not supposed to sell doors to? Yeah, of course. Is he here? Yeah. Is he trying to buy a door? No, no. He's trying to buy windows. Can we do windows? Can we do windows? They're practical. Can we do windows? I don't know if we can do windows. They're kind of doors. They're just sky doors. Can we do that? Transparent doors. I found a hole.
Let's sell them three. Let's max them out at three. Hey, so my boss said we could give you three windows. I need 18. That's not going to cut it. Yeah, you need 18 door windows. I'm going to need 18. Yeah. He wants doorknobs. Can we give him doorknobs? He's buying planks of wood and doorknobs. Well, okay. Fine. No hinges. Kind of a gray area. No hinges. No hinges. No hinges. Okay.
Off the hinges. Off the hinges. Wow, it's off the hinges. That's where it comes from, right? It's off the hinges, Blake. Well, guys, is there any take backs? Any apologies? Yeah, I'm sorry we brought up this guy. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I'd like to apologize for bringing this guy up. But, you know, good old dark comedy, you know? Dark comedy rocks, bro. Nobody wants to apologize to me. I'm just going to apologize to him. Nah.
not too much. Nobody wants to apologize. I'm sorry to the skating community for perpetrators. What the fuck, dude? What the hell? I'm sorry for anyone that is a musician. I'm sorry that Blake's trying to steal your style. I want to give a shout out to all my fellow cosplayers out there. I'll see you at the next Comic Con. I'm
I'm doing my best out here. Shout out to CCS. Your skateboard rock and roll comic con? Hell yeah. Blake, I'm going to give you some grace, bro. You keep going until you find who you are. Thank you, man. And then I can't wait to be there and watch that person soar. Flourish. Life's a journey. Well said. Thank you. Yeah, moment of grace. That's a moment of grace for Blake. Thank you. I'm sorry to the audience for eating earlier. Daddy hungry. Dude. Daddy.
Oh, I was bummed. I'm hungry too right now. I didn't think I was going to be. You can just eat. All you have to do is apologize and it's like, get out of jail. It's like, it's like being a Christian or it's like being a Catholic. You just, yeah, you're forgiven. You know, you talk to the priest and say, Hey, I did a ton of nasty shit. You talk to the hand. You just lock up your family, fuck them in the basement. Talk to the hand. Yeah.
And then you get forgiveness. It's sick. Hey, you know what? Let's give a shout out here to Liquid Death. Okay. I'm drinking an armless Palmer. Very funny. You guys used to send us stuff and you don't anymore. Oh, I went to the town of Voss and guess what? I didn't drink there. Voss water? Voss water. I was like, we're for sure going to get some Voss water. No, I didn't blow it. The restaurant we ate at where I had nachos, they blew it.
Yeah, but did you get tap water? Because if you got tap water, that's Voss water. Because technically that is Voss water, yeah. Oh my god! You got it, dude! I guess I technically did have Voss. The water was wet. It was wet, but as Adam would say, all the same. Yeah, it all tastes the same. It's all fine.
Thank you, God. Shout out to the reindeer burger. Hose water tastes the exact same as Dasani. Hose water tastes different. Hose water is underrated. It's all fun. It's all just tastes like water. Well, hose water rocks. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Hose water rocks. You know, I don't want to say goodbye. I'm having so much fun. I don't want to say goodbye. I don't either. I kind of like it.
