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...

I tried to pull up to the pub at 7 a.m. and it was packed. There's some hoes in this house. I didn't really want new luggage until I got the Vax. Amsterdam fucking rocks. Love Amsterdam, bro. And here we go. We're coming in so hot, so polychar. Bye.

Yeah, evidently I'm like coming in out the gate so polycharged, but I don't even realize I was being polycharged. Bro, watch out. Go ahead. Watch out. You're always polycharged and you don't even know. That's the worst kind of polycharge is when you don't even know you're being polycharged. Right, right, right. Dude, I don't even know I'm being polycharged. Explain to me why what I just said is polycharged. You got to remind me what you just said and then we can tell you why it's polycharged. Yeah, man, I got to remember. We were talking about how California, they're saying that there's no...

we're going to outlaw gas cars or California's going to outlaw gas cars. And then you were saying some other state was outlawing electric cars because of all the electricity it's taking up. To make it, to make them. And then what did you say? What did you say though? And then what did you say? Yeah, and I said, well,

Well, I mean, that is true. Okay. And then what did you say? And then you took it one step further. Okay. But then what did you say? And then I said 9-11 isn't real. He said it again. That wasn't what we did. No, I didn't.

I said, the steel can't burn with the gas. Oh, damn. I saw a YouTube video once. That is correct. No, and then I said that, what'd you say? Yeah, everything takes a ton of fucking electricity. No. Like the internet. Oh.

Okay. You said the internet. Why is that such a big deal to say? You guys came at me like that was so polycharged, dude. You said the internet also takes in a lot of energy. Yeah, that's a bold statement. That's a bold statement. Yeah.

Big, big sweat. I don't understand. I think you guys are trying to get me and try to like... No, dude. Big internet. You got to watch out who you're speaking up against. Big internet takes a lot of energy. What's next? They lose their subscribers and then big internet does what, dude? You're going to get shadow banned, bro. That's the last thing you want. Yeah. You think Seeker's not going to come after you? Dude, I would honestly...

I don't give a... I'm so sick of having to post stuff and caring about social media and all of it. I'm like, shadow ban me. Make it so it's not even fun. Like when I post something, it gets negative views. And then I'll go, okay, I'm done with this. And what is shadow banning? Shadow ban I thought was like when you're banned. Real man of genius. Alternate title. I thought shadow banning... I need someone to remind me what shadow banning is.

I don't know what it is. I thought that's when they block what you're outputting and you don't even know it. Here we go. Todd on our producing team, Editor Todd, just goes, Shadow banning in social media and discussion forums is the administrative practice of making a particular user's post visible only to that user. Instead of notifying a user that his or her user-generated content, UGC, has been blocked, the administrator simply prevents...

anyone else from viewing the user's content. - Oh yeah. - So it's like you're blocked and you don't even know it baby. - You don't even know it. - And so Adam, when you said shadow block me or whatever. - Ban, ban. - Shadow banning. - Shadow ban me? Did you know that that's what it meant? - Yeah, that's what I assumed that like no one can see your shit and you're just posting stuff into an abyss. - But you don't even know. - So you want them to do that to you. - Yes, fucking block me. I absolutely don't give a shit about. - But you want a public ban.

Adam. Wait, but then you're not talking about... Then you would just stop tweeting or whatever. Yeah, that's right. I just want a reason to stop tweeting. But why don't you just stop tweeting? Okay, okay, okay. Because I have to for work. You've got to promote all the stuff you're doing. Because you can't stop tweeting. I can't stop tweeting. Yeah, Blake, I just did it. I know, but you're bad at impressions and I'm really good at them. I'm different. I'm actually... I can't stop

eating. I'm different at impressions. It's a whole, because it's subjective. Yeah, but a lot of people are saying I'm the number one impressionist on this pod, okay? Whoa, that's also a very bold statement. Yeah, I would say on this pod with

four untalented fucks you are the most talented at that specific thing impressions right thank you thank you right or at least finding like one word that that person would say and repeating it over and over and then just kind of saying that one word over and over again yes yeah doing like the little laugh or something yeah Blake you are great yeah you're so talented one more time with the dragon heart dragon heart

I'll tell you what, I can do impressions of your soundboard and that's maybe about it. Yeah, you are very good at that. Yeah, that's all I could do is just repeating. I act like I'm in control of the soundboard sometimes and just do the cause of diarrhea. Right. The cause of diarrhea. That shit's important. That's pretty good. That one I can't do. You did Dragonheart instead of Sean Connery? What? Wait. That is Sean Connery. It is Sean Connery. Yeah, but it's the same voice, right?

What, you want me to say his name? Yeah, say his name, please. Sean Connery. Do it. Sean Connery. I've already done Sean Connery. The Rock. Do another impression of Sean Connery. Not Dragonheart. Yeah, let's see it. I want to see it. I already said it. You know when I said 9-11 isn't real? Yeah. The only reason I was thinking of that is...

is because Aaron Rodgers just, it just came out, like someone said that they, like their first conversation with Aaron Rodgers, he said, do you believe in 9-11? As if he doesn't believe. Hit or die.

Honestly, though, pretty good opener. It's science. Icebreaker. Yeah, icebreaker. That's a cool first date. Yeah, just to see where someone stands. Just to know on what scale of kooky they are. It gets fun right out of the gate, and you get a nice grasp of who this person is. I guess, is Aaron Rodgers a kook, or is he hilarious? He kind of went AWOL a little bit. He kind of went a little bit...

He's a little bit of a kook. It's so... I don't know. Well, if that's what you're leading with. One of our producers who will go unnamed if he or they prefer said he's nuts. He's nuts, yeah. Yeah, I could see that. I could see that now. Or does that say his nuts? No, he's nuts. I don't know, man. He's nuts. I don't know. Dude, I just think that we're really seeing like...

I'm living in a nightmare

kyle got so quiet dude kyle got weird kyle got weird i'm just listening yeah i'm glad kyle's back hanging around with people playing pickleball getting outside mixing it up yeah yes it's been very good for him well everybody i mean yeah for sure because what you just were looking at whatever the fuck you could on the internet right i mean that's what was going on you had

no window. And hey, dude, and the internet takes so much electricity. I'll say it. I'll say it. Whoa. Whoa. See, Adam, that is a shame. I am afraid to get polycharged. Dude, that's where it starts, dude. I'll tell you from experience, that's where it starts, man. Don't follow that thread, all right? Kyle, what do you... Go ahead, Ders. Go ahead. I was just going to say, do you guys remember... Do you believe in 9-11? No.

No, do you remember the DVD that was going around called like Pocket Change or whatever? And it was like, it was like a 12 minute documentary that was going around. Somebody at work when I was an assistant at Bones gave it to me and they're like, you got to fucking see this. So what year? Paint the picture. What year is this? This is like 2002 or three. Okay. Okay. 2003. Thank you for painting the picture. Loose Change. Loose Change.

Our producer came in with Lou Stange. And it was like a short documentary that was like... Had all this footage and all these theories. And was like, this is how you detonate a building. And it's like, if a building falls this way, watch the charges going down. And you're like... And people were like, this shit's real. And I go...

This is not real. This is crazy. Oh, well, I don't know if... I saw something on YouTube that was like someone like way back in the day when we were living in Orange County and they were like, dude, you have to watch this video. This is probably it. Yeah, and it was on YouTube and they sent it to me and I watched like five minutes of it and I'm like...

This is... I mean, with the power of editing, you can make anything seem like anything. Absolutely. Exactly. Documentaries... Weren't we saying documentaries should be... Somebody was saying documentaries should be illegal. Wasn't it Adam? I was not. I did not have that stance, but I like it. Somebody did. Yeah, no. That's because the way that they spin it, the way that they throw that in there, it's...

It's super clear. It's super clear. I remember posting about that during the pandemic being like, watch all this shit, you know, because I was getting real frustrated because it's like, if you just look at it from an editing standpoint and a manipulative standpoint, all of it is forcing you into some direction of feeling, you know what I mean? Everything is forcing you into a certain way of thinking and

People were not seeing that. They were definitely not aware. And by the way, it was super convincing because it brings up things. I don't know. I don't know how buildings are detonated. And if it goes, this is how it's done. Then I go, Oh, you don't stupid. Okay. Sorry. I wasn't on punked. I didn't have a fucking wrecking ball dropped on my car. Um,

yeah, I don't know how things are torn down. And if they tell me that's how it is, I go, all right. But then at the end of the day, I go, but yeah, it was actually nine 11 and two planes fucking hit the buildings. Like, right. What are we doing? Right. That happened. Exactly. Why are we deconstructing? I can't wait for the comments. I can't wait to read the comments that people are like, you're a fucking idiot. You're believing what you're told. You know, you know,

It's about to get polycharged in our comments. I think that's our new thing. You know, I like the guys until they get polycharged. I know. Polycharged. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough to come out of a polycharged session. And by the way, if you think 9-11 was like an inside job...

I love that. I love that for you. I love that for you. I love the people you're going to meet. You're going to meet the love of your life. It's a great way to open conversations. We've said this. You're going to get invited to an Aaron Rodgers picnic and it's going to be probably pretty fun. Yeah. Dude, I mean, you know that Aaron Rodgers, his picnics...

They're all getting sweaty, playing football probably because he can't stop. He's addicted. And you know he's the type of guy that rubs like crystals on his armpits and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He uses like natural deodorant. Oh, yeah. So it's like mad stinky. Oh, yeah. Well, that's okay. That stuff's okay. That's fine. You put some crystals on your body. My brother used that shit. You still stink. Absolutely.

Absolutely it's not okay, Kyle. What's wrong with just putting, like, believing in some crystals in the earth and stuff like that, isn't... You're stinking. Well, sure, believe in the crystals, but then when you go out in public, you're a stinky man, though. Well, hold on.

Yeah. Well, you got to tell me. I don't really know much about rubbing crystals in armpits. So I guess I'm kind of back. And yeah, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It's just a deodorant. It's a deodorant that absolutely doesn't work. You're just rubbing rocks on your armpits. You're saying you're all out on charging like crystals and stuff. You don't believe in crystal power or you're just saying. Yeah. What the hell?

He only charges them politically. This is nuts, though. The only thing I'm charged with is Polly. You're Polly charged, but you're not crystal charged. Okay. No, I definitely don't believe in the power of crystals. Really? Wow. No. And the fact that you think I would makes me question your knowledge of who I am. Right.

If you know me at all. I just think it's, do you got to give it time? I think you just have to give it time. I would say in the next like six months, you're going to. Dude, I, Hey, I'm not opposed to it. If I'm on my deathbed and they're like, Hey, he will not be healed. Cover me in crystals. Throw a fucking. No, just fucking pour aquarium.

gravel on my head. Stick this rock dildo. Cover me in that shit. If that's the Hail Mary. That's what I'm saying. So why not grab a little bit of the Hail Mary now? Why not just throw a little Hail Mary on you every once in a while for shit's sake? I love the idea of we've got Adam on his deathbed and we're all just covering him in different rocks. He's like...

He gets crushed. They're like, well, he was actually doing fine. He was just going to be crippled or whatever. But yeah, his friends murdered him by dumping one ton of crystals on his limp body. Trust us. No, you need more jade, bro. Dude, I found the biggest amethyst rock in California. It's going on him. Put that amethyst up his ass real quick. He's going to help. It's going to help. It's going to help. It's going to help.

Well, dude, I just did a fucking... Keep going on this. I don't know anything about crystals, so like... They're sick. Well, me neither, but especially... I want to jump in, but I don't know. No, they're sick. When people say that it heals you, obviously, not really.

not real, but... But that rock has been around for a long, long time. It's got some powers. It's got some powers. Thank you, Kyle. What rock has been around a long time? Any rock. Yeah, sure, but so... That's what I'm saying. You're like, that rock's been around. Dude,

Yeah. It doesn't have, things that have been around a long time don't just have powers. I'm not going to go out and eat handfuls of dirt because you're like, okay, it's been here a long time. That's just, I mean, I just did a, I just did a mineral bath up in Calistoga, like straight out of the earth and that shit. And what is that? What's a mineral? What's a mineral? You know what? I don't really know much about it, but I know they said it was connected to the earth.

Was it mineral water? Yeah, it was like a mineral spring. It's like a mineral hot spring, basically. And it fucking felt so goddamn good, you guys. That's called a bath, Kyle. Sure. Yeah, I don't doubt that. I bet it feels good. I bet mud baths and mud baths feel good. Pizza also feels good. Hot showers feel good. But I'm talking about the minerals, the minerals inside of it. That's what I'm talking about. It made me feel good, okay? How do you?

Okay. What do the minerals do? What's like the... Yeah. Well, your body has a lot of minerals up in it, right? Yeah, too. So many minerals up in it. I would imagine they're connecting to these crystals and rocks and stuff. What? You know? Real men of genius. I actually don't know. Blake, do you know what the size of the rocks are? That's an answer. Don't throw it to me, brother. I don't know.

I bet you... I'm running the board. Like, Anna's posting in the comments that spring breaths provide a variety of benefits to the skin. Sure. The skin? For the skin, exfoliate, that kind of thing. We're back to deodorant. We're back to deodorant, though. But that being said, if you rub it on your armpits, you can tell if it works or not because you can tell if you're stinky or not. Stinky. And the people that I know that have rubbed rocks on their armpits... Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

maintain the stink. I mean, you're right. The proof is in the pudding. The proof is in the pudding. It smells so bad. The proof is in their stench. So you can smell it. It's easily disproved. But are you sure they're putting rocks in their armpits to stop the stench or is it for another reason? They're not putting rocks. It's the crystal roll-on. You wet it and they do this. It's the crystal roll-on thing. Yeah. Oh. So you do know a lot about it, Durst.

Like I said earlier, my brother used it for a couple of years and he smelled horrible. Yeah, for sure he did. Like just straight European, full on grime. For sure. For sure.

I don't know what y'all are talking about. Are you talking about like that? You put it in like the freezer and you crystal like I've seen the things you like you put in the freezer and you like roll your face. It makes the swelling go down. Yeah, that's different. This is just a metal device that you put in and then it's cold and you rub it on. It's not metal. It's like rose quartz or something. Yeah, there is. There's a stone one. There's a stone one.

It's really cute. It's really cute too. Adam perked up. Adam is six months away from loving rocks, dude. He's six months away. I can get into that. Yeah. You're so close to loving rocks, dude. They're sick and they're worth a lot. People will pay money for some freaking crystals and rocks, dude. It's true. You can go on rock hunts. You can go out and like go with a guide and a little hammer and you,

arrowhead hey kyle yeah i bet you can i bet i can walk out the door right now i'm going on a rock hunt yeah thank you for letting me know i can dude that's that's the thing that you like trick a seven-year-old into thinking is fun to like keep them busy when you're like on vacation somewhere and you're like go find different colored rocks and show me yeah but no you can break them open go hunt you're on a rock hunt you're hunting for a

Rocks. You're on a rock hunt. It's so exciting. Go see if you can find a green one. Come back in six hours. Right. Yeah. Nothing has made me acknowledge like that. I'm old harder than like, you know how you like buy like nice rocks for your house to do like landscaping. Sure. Like nice, like nice, like white. Like a backyard or whatever. Beautiful, beautiful boulders. You remember when you were kids and you would roll up to your neighbor and you would just

take those fucking rocks and scrape them against the sidewalk or throw them or like try to break them open and shit. That must have drove them insane, dude. Those rocks cost fucking dough. Yeah. What was it you were doing? What was it that you were doing? Yeah, but I didn't have any rich friends that their parents paid any amount of money for any rock. So the rocks that were just there... That was not a thing. In my neighborhood, at least, were just...

Rocks? Gravel? Or just rocks? We had a different kind of climate, I believe. You know, there weren't many rock things happen in the Midwest as far... I'm the same way. We had grass. What is your landscaping like? Well, we had a little rock in our front yard. We had like a little rock. It was like a rock garden, but essentially it was just...

that we put there so like weeds didn't grow. Right, right, yeah. Like a pea gravel? Is that what we're talking about here? Like a little, a pea gravel? All day long I was just taking it and throwing it and smashing them into bits. It was great. Yeah, okay. This is important.

I'm saying there were like the quartz rocks, and the more you broke them, the more they looked kind of crystal-y. But they were like the cheap quartz, but it was like... I know what you're talking about, Blake. Yeah, and then you break it open, and you're like, dude, I found diamonds. And if you're joining us now, we're on minute seven of Rock Talk. Hey, this rocks, bro. Oh, dude, dude, dude, if we want to talk about talks, I'm getting a new set of luggage, homie. Yeah. Oh!

Oh, good. Oh, good. Wow. The huge pivot. Ramoa. Ramoa. This is where I'm at in my life. For birthday and Christmas now, I get that upgrade. Get them that luggage, dude. And why Ramoa? And also, what is that? I'm going to go take a piss. It's that hard. It's a metal case luggage. Have you seen it?

It's great. Silver. Yeah. It's like, man, it's like goodbye. Metal. That's it. Awesome. I mean, not, not like the, I mean, silver in color, not in like it's actual. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a metal, like traveling case too. I'm going to look like I'm a, like I'm a, like a roadie or something.

Okay. Okay, that's it. Are you finished? I just transitioned into luggage talk. Actually, if we can go back to that. I just switched my head. It took a second. But did you say it's a metal luggage box? Is that what you said? I can't be here for this. Did you say it's metal, Adam? I was thinking about rocks, and now it's here.

Shut up, bitch. Yeah, dude. Uh, yeah. Oh, we're still talking about this. Yes. I, uh, I took my hooded sweater off. I brought it back. Yeah. Uh, yeah, it's metal. Look it up. It's, it's the shit dude. Ramona. Okay. Tight. It's, it's a little pricey, but I think it's going to be worth it. Why is it the shit? Uh,

lifetime guarantee. That's pretty dope. That's huge. That's huge. What does that mean? That's great. Your lifetime or the lifetime of the product? Yeah. Oh, I'm assuming it's my lifetime. Is it? Yes. The lifetime of the product and then it's guaranteed. Yeah, lifetime guarantees are great. Dude, how do you know they don't have train killers that are like, he just asked for a new suitcase. We got to send somebody to kill him. Wipe him out. He just got $5,000 worth of suitcases. That's the show. Wipe him out. Yeah.

Send that plane into a tower. All right, because I got some I got I got a couple zippers that have popped off. I might be in the market for some new luggage soon. Have you checked how many Ramona bags were on the flight that ran into the tower?

I didn't. What if that was Big Ramoha? What if that was Big Ramoha? You might want to check. We're going to find out it wasn't Bin Laden or the Taliban at all. It was Big Ramoha. Allegedly. No. Allegedly. By the way, there's no way to say that it wasn't. Exactly. Thank you, Anders. Literally, there's no way to say.

Thank you. Hey, do your own research. Even if there weren't any Ramona luggage on the planes? Allegedly. Why weren't there? Why weren't there? Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. That's interesting. That's interesting. Fucking thing sucks. You've got to have your take. You've got to have your take. Samsonite. It's got to be new. All right. Big Samsonite.

It's all fucking... It's my bag, baby. I didn't really want new luggage until I got the Vax. Interesting. That's interesting. Now we're just blowing jokes from me. Get the Vax and suddenly I want to buy luggage from Moa. No comment. No, man. It happens.

Have any of you bros been on the fuckin' World Cup train or what? Oh, yeah. No, not at all, dude. Not at all. Not even a little bit, dawg. Shut up, bitch! Yeah, none of them. It's been insane. Let me guess, Blake, you're all in. Well...

kind of yeah yeah uh-huh Blake hit me in the day goes were you watching this game I'm like I'm writing our movie he's like big ups big ups okay like eight in the morning he's like I'm at the bar watching it yeah it was like a a

1130 or something. I tried to pull up to the pub at 7 a.m. and it was packed. Yeah, Red Lion's been going off. It's bonus St. Patrick's Day. Admittedly, that is fun. I do like that. It is an easy way for an alcoholic to

to get his fix in and have people in his life be like, it's okay. It's World Cup. That's all I was thinking about. Yeah, I'm here for soccer. A guy who's never watched soccer a day in his life, he has to go to the bar at 7 a.m. I'm just learning the game. He has to. I do love the idea of them being like, whoa, you got here early, huh? Yeah.

Yeah, for soccer. USA. Definitely here for soccer. I'm getting into golf now because of that very reason. I think it's like a fun excuse to, I mean, Blake has been going down this road. It's a fun excuse to go and drink and everyone in your life, people just respect golf. Golf is having a moment.

They're having a melner right now. So people are like, okay, well, he's golfing. It's fine that he's drunk at 9 a.m. Right. It makes sense. He had a rough first nine. Okay. Like, this is totally okay. Yeah, dude. Take that back. This is normal. The main thing. Well, for anybody who you guys aren't watching the World Cup, but a couple weeks ago now, USA got knocked out by the Netherlands. What the fuck?

But for my homies, my Scandinavian bro and my homie who's been in Germany for a bit. Dude, what's up with fucking the Netherlands? Dude. And well said. What do you guys know about the Netherlands? Those dudes are weirdly...

Like sexy, sexy people. Oh, it's going down this, but don't. Oh, a part of me wants to just let you have this moment and then maybe move back to golf. So I'm like, they're like tall. They're like, they're the tallest people on the planet. So it's no set the stage, set the stage. I'm going to take a seven. It's 7 a.m.

You got your first pint. So I'm watching the US. It's 7 a.m. I'm already kind of like, kind of a little blurry, bro. And are we still in our boxer briefs? What are we wearing here? No, I'm in pub. I'm in public. I'm at the pub. I didn't ask. Are you still in your underwear, though? I roll up in my bathrobe. I'm like, hey, baby, I got a couple Bud Lights in me. By the way, somebody's going to do that and be like, it's still the morning, right, guys? I'm in my bathrobe. Oh, my God.

I like that person. Dude, but I'm looking. I don't know anything about the Netherlands, but they're all tall Nordic people, but then they're also diverse. They're diverse looking as well. There's some really handsome not white people on the team. Yeah, that can happen, Blake. Non-whites can be attractive. But then their names are like Von Ludwig. Naked Grandma! Yeah.

Dude, I'm just like, I know nothing about this country at all. Yes, you do. Amsterdam. Amsterdam fucking rocks. Love Amsterdam, bro. That's in the Netherlands? Yes. That's what I'm saying. Where is this place? I'm half Dutch myself or 30% or whatever the fuck. Amsterdam kicks booty.

Yeah, dude. We're really hot as shit. I'll admit it. Yes, we're a really hot group of people. Yeah, look at them. The Netherlands is Holland, correct? I don't know. They're Dutch. They're Holland. Then also, like, why are their uniforms orange? That's not even their flag at all. There's no orange. They're like in all orange, but their flag is in orange. The flag is blue, white, and orange. Really?

Wait, is it? Yeah. Blake, you know nothing about this, but then you got a highly charged take against their uniforms, bro. You know nothing about this place. These are the Dutch. They do have a lot of names. I'll give you that. But like, dude, these are the people who colonized South Africa. That's what I figured. No, see, their flag is red, white, and blue, dude. There is no orange in it. That's orange. No, it's red. Well, this is weird. This is weird. I'm hooked.

Dude, I'm telling you, they're like, they keep you confused. They keep you confused. The royal family is the house of orange, says our manager. Says our manager, Isaac, and I just don't trust that. Wow, I'm hooked. What the hell does that even mean? Yeah. He has orange hair, so I think maybe that's... Dude, they're weird. I'm saying I like it. They keep you on your toes. I'm just like... They keep you on your toes because you're so goddamn tall. Okay.

Exactly. If you've ever flown whatever the fucking South African airlines or something like that. I haven't. Okay, so I'm 6'3". I get on this plane going to South Africa for my honeymoon and everyone is taller than me. It was fucking weird.

I'm telling you, I think they're like a superior country. There were more than 12 people that were like taller than 6'6". You think that, wait, Blake, so you're saying you think that they're the superior race. Is that basically what you just said? I said country. I think they're like, they seem like they have everything figured out. And let's go back to where you're like, and they don't all look white. Some of them look non-white. Yeah, those are people who've come from other countries. It's a melting pot. Exactly. The world is the world.

No, dude. So you think they're better than America, dude? And maybe at soccer, but also Americans just don't really give that much of a shit about soccer. Yeah, our best athletes are playing football. I'm saying with European countries, usually it's not as diverse as... When I envision the Netherlands, Dutch people, for some reason I think of like...

wooden shoes and like it's 2022 bud yeah I just think I'm I'm hyped yeah I'm shouting out Dutch people they rock yes yeah it doesn't come across that way at all but great I'm still unclear are we talking about Amsterdam because I can get behind Amsterdam I love that place okay I didn't even realize that Amsterdam's in the Netherlands yes it seems like you don't know a lot about this country that you're so hyped right I don't

know nothing about what he's using. I thought it was, I thought it's where they went in Stranger Things. I thought it was Netherlands. Oh my God. That's the nether regions. I'm so lost. Next time when I, if I go back to Germany to shoot another season of Bumper in Berlin streaming now on Peacock. Oh,

You have to come and visit, dude, because it seems like you have never. Biggest show ever in the history of Peacock. Go ahead. True. Biggest comedy launch in the history of Peacock. That's huge. We love it. You have to come visit because you're right. Admittedly, when I've never been to Germany before, I didn't know what to expect. I expected to see some people in Lederhosen.

Yeah. Right. I expected to see some people eating giant pretzels. Yes. None of that. I saw some big Bavarian pretzels in Bruges. Interesting. That being said, they did. You had to seek that stuff out. You had to go to the pretzel place to get it. It's not just like. Naked grandma. Naked grandma. But that being said, the beers were enormous everywhere you went. Naked grandma. That holds up. So you're going to love. Yeah.

I know, I need to. Not everyone looks German. You're like, some people strikingly like what you imagine a German to look like. Right. Little tiny glasses. Yes. Leather. Lots of cool leather. Yeah, dude. For me, if you say, talk about a German, it's like skinny neck, short, thin hair, and then like little tiny like

mechanical looking glasses and then just one color pants and shirt monochrome monochromatic sleek monochromatic well I'm excited to go somewhere besides Berlin because Berlin is such like a metropolis like it's like considers itself and it is it's like a cool hip city so people there are like doing are on some other shit like there was a lot of like BDSM stores in the neighborhood and we are in a very very nice neighborhood and

Oh yeah, I'm listening. It was just very... And you would see men in assless chaps and shit. Yeah, that's tight. You saw that several times through my three months or however long I was there. Sex forward.

man i'm into it sex forward yeah so i'd like to go to some other german places where it's not that isn't the case i'm sure it's very like zurich what have you heard about other places i don't even know let's try it can we name can we name five german cities can we berlin zurich hamburg munich dusseldorf dusseldorf you said berlin right you said berlin yeah

Just throwing out. Johannesburg. Where Porsche's built. Hamburg. No, no, no. I feel like I know that place, but yeah.

What was it? Four? We got four. We got four. That's pretty good. That's a B. I said, can we get five? Yeah, but did I make up Dusseldorf? No, Dusseldorf is a city. That's a Harry Potter character, bro. God damn. Dude. That's a house. I want to be in. Are you Gryffindor or are you Dusseldorf? Or are you Hamburg? Don't they make Porsches in like Stumpfland or some shit like that? I thought Porsche was Italian.

I did too for years. I know nothing about Europe. I'm an idiot. I know nothing about anything. I'm a dumb idiot. I hate myself. Oh, Blake. It seems like you don't know anything. Well, have you ever been? Have you ever been to Europe, Blake? Have you been? I have been to Italy. Oh, I saw you in Italy. That's right.

Stuttgart. Thank you. Wait. Stuttgart. Do we know where the Netherlands is? That's what I'm saying. This is why I'm wondering if we're talking about Amsterdam. Yes, it is west of Germany. Amsterdam? Yeah.

west are we talking about amsterdam west of germany and and do we know what west means yeah bro they never eat soggy waffles wait i thought france was shredded wheat yeah shredded wheat thank you i thought france was west of germany i'm pulling up a map oh god this is so easy to look at a map but yes germany and then i i believe france is just south southwest of germany

Southwest. And is that where Southwest is based? The airliner? And then below that is Italy. And north of Germany is like Switzerland and that shit. Don't get shamed. Don't get shamed. Don't get shamed. This sucks. I'm sad. I know. We're really dumb. I'm sad how little of Europe I've been to. It's...

It's just depressing me. Well, that was a crazy because I also was invited on that trip too. And I couldn't swing it because you guys went to Italy to visit Kyle when he was shooting Murder Mystery. Yes, I did.

Blake did. I did not. One of the greatest decisions of my life. Yeah, Durs wasn't. Didn't you go for like three days? At least. It was like a week. Maybe a week. I thought it was like seven days or something like that. It was a quick trip. Oh, well, I think maybe then I had something else because I was looking because Isaac was like, I think you should go. And I'm like,

I think I had something else and would have had to go there and it was like two days and then turn around and come back. And I'm like, well, that seems miserable. Because it does kick you in the... Like you think that the...

Wow, dude. The jet lag, the time difference. The jet lag isn't going to kick your ass. It does fuck you up. It's not going to fuck me up. And then it just does, dude. You get there and you're just like angry at stuff. You're like, ah, fuck it. Yeah, that trip was fucked. I had to do that like four times before we started shooting. It was like just going back and forth and doing that.

That's fucking cool, though. Where were we? We were in, I saw you in Como, right? You were up in Como? Lake Como. Delightful place. Yeah. That sounds just fun and cool. Dude, it was amazing. It was amazing. Como was so nice, dude. Good sun. Yeah, real good sun. It was real, real sun. I just threw up. Dude, sorry. I've been at a few World Cup games this morning. Oh, man, it was out of.

Are you guys watching season two of White Lotus? Yes, I am. Not yet. I want to start. I watched the first one or first two, I think. It takes place in Italy. Yeah. The homegirl Aubrey is killing it. She's really having a moment. Dude, she's so good. She's so good. Yeah. Oh, great. She's really the only fully fleshed out person in the pilot, I would say. Okay. Yes. Well, dude. To me, she's the one who I go, oh, I get exactly who she is. Everyone else, I'm still kind of like, who are they?

It's a wild show. It's a great season. I actually love it. There's some hoes in this house. It is a really good season. It's the horniest season of television. Yeah. It's so horny. Oh, it's hot? Oh, my God. So much fucking. So much. It's hot. I think we... I think our show, Workaholics, used to have that title, the horniest show on TV. Yeah. Because every episode was just about us cranking down, finding different ways to jerk off. Porno. Yeah, it was awesome.

All guided by porno. Webcam girls. One time there was a girl. This is us taking the crown. It was three guys being horny together. But this is... And they're doing it. Everyone's fucking... Guys are fucking...

Girls are fucking... Well, that sounds steamy. I would say that this sounds steamy. It's steamy AF. Well, Workaholics was horny. Those are two separate things. Yeah. That's true. This is also horny, though, dude. Yeah, there's some horny characters. If they're actually going... Of course, you have to be horny to be steamy. Oh, yeah, the dad from New York or whatever? Dude, no...

everybody Jersey got to keep watching because everybody gets really horny the Amadeus dude yes Chris from Sopranos Michael Imperioli Michael Imperioli what did you guys all say what's going on no no no not Mike I'm talking about no he's talking Solier from yeah yeah yeah you know that stands for from the Mozart movie from Amadeus I'm a

Yeah, I know. I'm telling Adam. He didn't hear you say Amadeus. Moliere? Soliere? Oh, you gotta watch it. He's never even seen that shit anyway. I've never seen that. It's one of the best movies. You gotta see Amadeus is off the chain, dude. It's so fucking good, dude. Yeah, but it's not as good as season two of White Lotus, dude, and I'm watching that. It's so much better. Allegedly!

Yes, sir. No, Ders, you got to keep watching. Okay. Is Amadeus? It's actually hornier. It's actually hornier. Is it steamier? Is it steamy? Because that's the question. Is it hornier than season two? You've only seen two episodes. I'm telling you. Yeah. The whole movie is about how horny Amadeus is and how this old fucking conductor is like, how is he getting away with this? And everyone's like, because he's awesome. He's awesome.

He's better than you, so he gets to run around squeezing girls' booties. Very horny. Yeah, but does he get to hardcore butt fuck? No spoilers, please. No spoilers, please. Another man like they get to do in White Lotus. Wait, what? Adam, what? Are you really going to naked grandma me? Don't do that, please.

I'm in the middle of watching it. You don't know who butt fucks who. You don't know who butt fucks who. I can figure it out. That was a big drop right there. I can figure it out. No, dude, that was weeks ago, by the way. Wait, stop. Just stop. Oh, you know what I really like about White Lotus? I'm like super hyped that I'm not binging it. It was like binging fucked up a lot of shit. I was just thinking about this last night. What the fuck, man? It's a naked grandma. I really enjoy the naked grandma of...

It comes out once a week. You talk about it to other people. So you're like, did you see that episode? Yes. You break it down. Yes. My dumb ass goes on Twitter and checks fucking White Lotus and looks at other people. They're trying to figure it out as well. And I'm like, oh, that's a good theory and shit. It's fucking fun. Yeah.

TV is fun that way. Yes, it is. Naked grandma. When it's like a show like this that naked grandma. When it's a show like this that like really. The way it just unfurls like a naked grandma. I'm trying to think of what other shows like kept people guessing week to week. Was it like. We're gollocks. Every show did. Right? Yeah, every show did. Every show did, dude. Naked grandma.

Historically, the Mary Tyler Moore show was a whodunit that still has met no match. Yeah. Tune in this. At least you were on the same schedule. That was the good thing about it. That's the good thing. You're talking about water cooler. Kyle's talking about the will they won't they of it. Yeah, I'm talking water cooler like we're

We got a whole week before we see the next episode. Like, what do you think? This is what's sick about White Lotus is they start each season with like a murder, right? So you're automatically hooked. You're watching the whole time like who is going to die. Well, a death, not necessarily a murder. Sure, sure. Someone is dead. Yeah. So you're watching the whole time like who is about to die.

Yeah. It's cool. It keeps you hooked. Yeah, exactly. Dirt, did you not know that? Dirt, yeah. Are you rolling your eyes? What, you don't... Is this like a naked grandma to you or what? You don't like that device? It's, to me, I'm just like, you're saying, what I love about elevators is that they go up and down.

Pizza, pizza. Like, yes. This is the whole point of the show is that you don't know who did the murder. You want to know what's fucked up? Season one. I love how you don't know who did the murder. And like, yes, that's the whole point. Here's the thing. Season one, I missed the first episode.

10 minutes, I didn't know that that was part of the show. Season one, I watched without even knowing that someone was supposed to die. And I was hooked. Well, it is a fun, admittedly, it's a fun vibe, the show is, because it is... Admit it, Adam. Adam, come clean about this, please. I would like to admit something. Pupusah!

show us your naked grandma it feels like you're on vacation so even if you don't know that someone dies it does it's that it sends me back you're able to that's why movies and shows that take place in exotic locales always crush because even if they're just pretty good wish fulfillment bro wish fulfillment yeah it's just people are like oh fuck that sounds awesome I wish I was there right now I'm so

I like that this season so far hasn't had as many like kind of pointless and dumb shots of like the ocean to like segue to the next scene. Well, it was COVID. They have those though. They don't seem as...

hammy oh boy they were kind of like hammy in the first one where it was like well sure now they they have the thousand extras you know what i mean like they could show like a busy street of people moving around and bust hustling and bustle yeah and i think it was during covid they're like just shoot the goddamn wave again we have nothing right it wasn't just like a wave splashing uh but the music to me the music is so good the music was the music of the first one was fantastic and season two i was like oh where's the music two it's a

banger and then it really comes on strong and like to me not to like undercut anything else about the show the music is like the music is the star of the show it's Amadeus it's like a naked grandma it's Amadeus level it's a horny level show it's really good what's the name of your what's the name of your luggage? Ramoa it's a Ramoa Jason Ramoa and now it's rewind and start it's the Ramoa luggage of the show for me um

You're a fucking disaster, my guy. Yeah, Ramona, send me some luggage, man. That shit is expensive. But Adam, here's what's crazy. I'm sure it's expensive. But then when you stack it against Louis trunks, you're like, oh, this is fine. Because Louis trunks are like $10,000. Now, what are Louis? Like a Louis Vuitton trunk. Like a real steamer trunk. What's a steamer trunk? Yeah, like you're getting on the Titanic. Oh, those are hip.

And you got to go quick because you got to drop a steamer. I'm kind of about that. I think that would be cool to have some kind of a trunk. Yeah, but then it says Louis Vuitton all over it. No. Yeah, I agree. I don't want that. I would be all about steamers. Like, I want to take a hot steamer on. Oh, dude. Sure. I don't want it to say Louis Vuitton. That shit bitch made homie. Thank you, Grandma. Steamy ass.

action. It really isn't. Of course there's the all over print, but there's a more subtle Louis Vuitton trunks. But those are...

ridiculously expensive. This is luggage stock. Well, Adam, you made your choice. You got a lifetime guarantee, right? You can't get out. That's what it is. You're in it for life. I haven't gotten it yet. I'm still in the market. Oh, you haven't gotten it? You haven't clicked purchase. I haven't gotten it yet. No, I'm still in the market. This is a Christmas endeavor that I think I might treat myself to some sweet, sweet love. It's an endeavor? Yeah.

Some people have Christmas lists. Some people have Christmas endeavors. Demands.

Well, I hope your endeavors come true. I wish you well on your endeavor. I'm going to get myself something nice, dude. You know you're getting old when I'm looking forward to buying myself fucking $10,000 worth of luggage. Right. That shit's important. Luggage talk. I'm going to click on it. I want to see what we're doing here. Should I just get one? It is expensive. Here we go. What did I get? I just got two new pieces, but I went Samsonite, bro. God.

I can't believe I'm allowing this. This luggage shock. I went Samsonite. I went two blue hard case Samsonites. Simple Simon. Oh, dude, this two tone. Kyle, this is all you. How do I drag this link into the fucking chat? Throw it at me, buddy.

Throw it out. I hate that. This is a nightmare. Dude, luggage talk is back, Blake. Okay. So everybody at home, I'm sending Kyle this like aluminum, like carry-on sized luggage. The cause of diarrhea. That's black. And then it's got like, what are those? When you go to like Alaska, it's got the. Oh, dude. It's got the Northern Lights effect. The Northern Lights effect. Aurora Borealis.

Look at that. Corny. Admittedly, I looked at that and thought it was ugly. You thought it was what? Naked what? I thought it was not even a naked grandma, fully clothed grandma. Uh-huh. But you don't think this rings true for Kyle?

This is a Kyle bag. Oh, for Kyle. Yes, yes, yes. Ders, you nailed it. Ders is always- This is the crystal of luggage. Yes, thank you. Kyle would try to pick up this suitcase and rub it against his armpits to quit smelling. I would definitely be proud when I saw this thing coming down the luggage carousel. I'll tell you that much. I'd be happy to pull this thing up and say, excuse me, that's mine. They're like-

Yeah. I'd be very proud to be in that situation. Endurance, you hit it right on the head, buddy. You've always been like my stylist, you know? We've had some fun. What sucks about getting the lifetime guarantee with the luggage is every few years I get a hankering for something new. Right. But now I'm kind of in...

fully in bed with this Ramona, you know? Well, if you're, I hate this. If you've got a lifetime guarantee, can you swap out styles throughout your life? Can you be like, like a lease? No, there's no way. Absolutely not. Only like Patagonia. Can you go, I don't like this fleece anymore. And they go, just grab another one. Did really Patagonia. You can do that. Yeah. They love that when you're like, Hey, there's like a hole in this fleece. They go, all right.

Grab a new one. They're like, it doesn't matter. It costs us a nickel to make and we charge you $250 per piece. So it's fine. Jesus Christ. Knock yourself out. I got a Patagonia that needs to be replaced a couple years old. Maybe I'll try that. Treat yourself. Walk in there and see what they're doing. You're going to walk in and they're going to shoot you right between the eyes, man, saying, here's your lifetime. Where am I going? Where am I going? They go, hey, where do you stand on 9-11? Where am I going?

Put a gun right to your face. Look, where do you stand on rocks? Okay, I'll flip that right back on them. And I'll go ahead and start the apologies to giveaways, the epic slams. Are we giving away some Ramoah? Is that what we're doing? If they hit us up and want to give away a Ramoah via our podcast, I would be happy to give away a Ramoah. Please hit us up, Ramoah.

I would like to apologize to Aaron Rodgers. I was really like kind of going after him right out the gate. Shut up, bitch. What? Why are you apologizing? You have a hot take, I guess. You know, I don't know the guy. I think he has a few kooky things, you know.

That he was that I've heard that he said so. But that's all you talked about. You know, that's a nice of you. No shots fired against him. So you're apologizing for talking about what he said about what I I didn't hear him say that. Are you trying to fuck this guy? What is this pivot, bro?

Who fucking cares? No, dude, because he stinks like shit, man. He fucking uses natural deodorant. You can just tell. I'm sure he's fine with that. Fuck him. Yeah. Okay, yeah. You know what? Fuck Aaron Rodgers, dude. I don't give a shit about Aaron Rodgers. Fuck your pits. Okay, flip back. And that's our first flip back. I'm serious. He's kind of a Bay Area dude, so I'm hyped for him. Oh, see, that's probably why he rubs crystals on his pits and shit. Oh, yeah. Is he Chico State? No, he's Cal, right? Wasn't he Cal? I thought he was Chico State. Maybe he is. Chico.

He went to high school with my homie from college, Matt Marshall. Shout out. Shout out to Chico. Always shout out to Chico. Love Chico. Love me some Chico. Yeah, baby. Home of Sierra Nevada Bruco? Is that what we're talking about? Dude, it's close. It's up there, right? Oh, dude, I went to a Sierra Nevada Brew. Sierra Nebraska? Oh, my God. Making grandma juice. Smoke.

smoking i went to a sierra nevada uh brewery in ashville dude it was fucking like it was like beer disneyland it was yeah i went to all these other breweries and they're fine you know it's like a brewery it's cool and they have good beer sierra nevada you're like oh they're the big swinging dick in the brewery game because it was okay when you actually took like like their beer is good in the bottle but like when you go to a sierra nevada like brewery oh man it

You're like, naked grandma. Here's my question. Is their grandma naked? Have they been bought by anybody or are they still indie? That's a great question. Thank you, Blake. I think they're still doing... I think they're still indie-pandian. Isn't there... There's not a lot of that going on, right? Like, InBev owns everything or something? There's like one company that owns... Yeah, they snatch you up. As soon as you have any kind of success, they snatch you up. But that's kind of the game for everyone, too. They're like, I'm going to start...

micro brew and then hopefully sell for 10 mil and they get bit just big enough to get bought out and then you go see ya yeah shout out buzz balls I'm putting all my money into Bitcoin well here's my question

How do we feel? Is that a good culture to be like, I'm just going to start something to get big enough to sell it to some big conglomerate to then go back and start something else or just retire? Like, how do we feel about this? I guess it depends on what you want to do.

Like if you were like brewing beer is my life. Of course, of course. But I mean as a cultural movement, as a cultural movement. I don't think it's good. I don't think it's good for the culture. It's weird to me. Yeah, I would think that you'd want it to be more – you'd want to have more competition and more healthy competition so that the capitalist free market can regulate itself, right? Dude.

Thank you. Wow. I do like that. The interesting thing to me is that people are now, they're now creating things. Otherwise you can't regulate the free market. It's not a free market. They're now creating things to be bought as opposed to like, I'm going to create this thing that I like that I want to be mine. Right. To reflect me. They're like, Hmm, what's the best way we can market this so that it eventually just gets bought.

That's just fucking weird to me. Well, you tell who's not doing that. That's Sierra Nevada. They're privately owned by a man named Ken Grossman. Big shout out to Sierra Nevada. Last of a dying breed. Shout out. We're fans. And that's Penn and Teller. That's the same guy from Penn and Teller, right? It makes everything feel... Ken Grossman. I heard Penn. Shout out to Ken. Okay, nope.

Everything is so weird with like consumer, like all the collabs that happen now, like nothing is, nothing is itself anymore. It's so weird. It's like if you're, if you're, you're just trying to make a brand look good, there doesn't have to be anything behind that brand necessarily because you're just right. And that's not good. That's a hollow culture.

It is. And I know Adam's going to chime in here because he's a polychar type guy. But like the idea of... I mean, honestly, we didn't land on the moon. Let's talk about it. We'll get there. We'll get there. But the idea of like, let's start something just to get bought.

Yeah. Like that's the, that's the end game as opposed to like, I don't like look at, okay. Elon Musk, a whole thing, but got a bunch of money. Right. But I don't think, and I don't know, I don't think he started Tesla to be like, I'm going to start this to see if Ford wants to buy it. No, I'm going to start that. He was like, I'm going to do this. And then he's still doing it. He actively went against him. It lost money forever. And like, I,

I don't know. It's just, it's kind of weird. Well, and now it's a company made by robots. It's just like, I can't, my fucking, I, I turned in my Tesla the other day. All right, Kyle, you can keep going. We're going to go, but yeah, it's a company run by robots. We'll see you next week. Like I, my Tesla got, my Tesla got picked up on the side of the road the other day by someone. I just left it on the side of the road. I just left it on the side of the road, dude. What does that even mean? What do you mean?

I left it. I got in another car and went back to my hotel. And then now it's supposedly it's in Vallejo. Why did you give your car away? Did it need...

It broke down. It broke down. Tesla did? Yeah, the Tesla broke down. Piece of shit. What do you mean broke down? The front motor went out, right? So it started shitting on me. That is a fully clothed grandma. That's not very Ramoa, is it? It's not very Ramoa. I'll say that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry. What you're saying...

Like, you either have to come into the game wanting to be bought or you have to come into the game wanting to become the...

The fucking biggest fat cat. The buyer. Or you could just... Go ahead, Adam. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Or you could just do something that you love and try to find your lane. Yes. And then just have a life and a career. Like, you don't need to be the biggest or the best. And be okay not making gazillion dollars. Yes. Yes. Like, what are you focusing on? What's your output going to be? That being said, I hope Ashlyn sells soon. Yeah, for sure. For a billion fucking dollars. And that's what they're doing.

to Budweiser. Did you guys watch Aziz's special that came out the other day on Netflix? I didn't even know. Hated it. No, not yet. Didn't even know. Didn't even know. I watched it and he had a funny thing where he like ran into Frank Ocean. He was talking about how everybody who has any kind of like

social capital is like capitalizing on that and like branding and doing this and starting companies and da da da and he's like I'm just doing stand up or acting and I feel like I'm kind of falling behind when I should just have like a fucking serial company or whatever it is and he sees Frank Ocean at a party and he's like Frank Ocean a guy who like just makes albums like doesn't really sell out and he goes up to Frank and is like

you know, like what, how are you doing what you're doing? He goes, you just gotta be more comfortable not making a lot of money. And he was like, Oh yeah, I guess I never considered that. And like, that is the third option where it's like, yeah, I'm not going to start sport clips. I'm just going to have a barbershop and that's it. There's no like bigger grand thing. I'm not hoping that fucking unless you want to start,

sport clips. You know what I mean? Like some people are like, yeah, I do want to start a huge business. Yeah. And other people are less ambitious and they don't give a shit. They don't want to do that. So, but, but what's interesting to me is the people who do like, I crunched the numbers and actually barbershops have a, like make good money for what you put in and did it. And they don't give a fuck about barbershops.

So they just open 50 barbershops in the tri-state area and grow from there. Or like, I don't know. It just seems kind of like. And that's not very Ramoa now, is it? Naked grandma. Before we go, before we go, I just want to say this has been our weirdest episode. Yeah. Well, it was a little. You think so? Dude, it got. Well, we started off fucking.

Hot, hot, hot. I'm in charge. I like the building. I'm not saying it wasn't good. What I'm saying is looking back. Dude, that was the best podcast that's ever existed. Move over, smartless. I don't disagree. Hey, look, I got a naked grandma and look, I'm in. Totally.

Shout out to the Netherlands, man, for their diversity. They're beautiful people. I can't wait to visit. If Amsterdam is there, Kyle, I'm not sure I'm going to believe you with that. But if it is there, I'm going. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if Amsterdam's in the Netherlands, but Amsterdam...

Fucking rocks, baby. And shout out to... It is. It's there. Bicycles. They ride a lot of bicycles. It fucking rocks, dude. It's my favorite place. Dude, bicycles, no helmets. Okay? Wow. And now that's a naked grandma. Wow. Okay. And that's another episode of... This is important. This is important. Important. Was it our weirdest episode?
