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 sort of have to drink and then take Z-Quil right before I go to bed in order just to sleep at night. So, uh, keep them coming. You didn't know about Tucker, motherfucker. And then there was the lasagna boys. Their dicks were shaped like lasagnas. Were you gonna bring me that drink or do we have to keep talking? Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioio
This week, let's have fun. Let's have fun. Oh, my God. Blake, keep it going, dude. I don't give a fuck. Yes, punch. It's science. It's definitely an O for me, dog. I'm sorry, mama. What'd your ass say? Keep it. Zip it.
Fucking disaster, my guy. Do not come. Play the hits. Wheel. Keep playing the hits. Wheel. I got to hear that one way more. Do that one again. Larry King, way up. Wheel. Larry King. Wheel. That's right. He said, so guys, what is... Wheel. And we're like, way up?
Oh, RIP to the God. That was the best. I'm so glad that we did that interview. That was such a weird day. Yeah, good dude, good dude. Because it's Larry King. He was like 80 at the time, and we were interviewed by him. I don't really know why we were, but... He interviewed everybody. Yeah, but I feel like he didn't know who the fuck we were even a little bit, and it was kind of, it was hilarious that we were on there.
I don't think he knew who a lot of people were because his interns were kind of choosing. Was that his thing? Is he just didn't know anything about people? But like Odd Future, Odd Future got interviewed by them. Yeah. Yeah, he's just an old dude who loved to interview people and like get out of the house. Yeah, well, good on him. Once we were invited, I think that's when he was kind of...
They were letting the interns sort of pick who was going on Larry King. They were like the kids with the ears. Yeah. No, it definitely felt like his young producers were the ones steering the ship at that point where he's like, I don't give a shit. Let me just do a thing. I went back for something else on my own, and it was just like, hey. And he was like, nice to meet you. I'm like, uh-huh. And then, of course, on the cards, he's like,
on the cards, he's like, you've been here before. Well, for sure. You're like, are you asking? And I was like, yeah, no, I know. I was playing. And I remember. I was playing like I hadn't because you didn't remember me. No, I remember. It says on the cards, it says you were here before and I remember that. Wee. Wee.
We got you are the wheel. Well, no, I'm just curious. I want to know, like, whale, like where that fucking came from. Because like what? Like the history of whale in the show. I remember it from some dumb, like fucking wizards thing we did. Adam was like, well, like in the outtakes. Oh, what is whale from? No, I know how it came into our lives, I believe.
Well, hit us with it, Dursey. I believe there was a certain executive at Comedy Central who would show up into our writer's room saying it loudly, but it was like a thing.
I don't know if it was like a Jersey Shore thing. Oh, right. Or like it was some show or something. I remember that. Yeah. So we stole it from Jersey Shore. We, Wales, not our, I don't know who it is, but he would come into the writer's room saying, well, that makes it so much less cool.
We borrowed from Jersey. Or is it cooler? It's cooler. Yeah, it kind of lives up to the hype. We stole it from Snooki. Yeah, maybe. Where are they? Where's Snooki? I miss her. They're doing fine. Yeah, that's right. Where is Pauly D? Because he was the one that, the Jersey Shore guys, that was...
actually doing something outside of the show. Like he's like was a DJ and was making like a lot of money for a while. Yeah. I was at a hard rock hotel and you know, they've got all sorts of memorabilia on display and it was like, they're the best Eddie Vedder's guitar, fucking David Bowie's jumpsuit. And then it was Pauly D's laptop. And I'm not joking at all. I was like, for sure. Yeah. What the fuck is going on?
Well, also, like, you realize that, like, how many Hard Rocks there are? Yeah, or were. So at some point, you're like, they're running out of shit, right? Yeah, you're right. You're right. That's like why the laptop showed up in that one. They're like, who can we get? And Paulie D's like, I'll give you my old laptop. And they're like, great, perfect. It's not like there's not. It's not like they're opening at a, like, fucking fast rate. Durses grind.
There's chill. There's years and years of music and bands and musical acts every year. Every year. We get it. You love Pauline. I'm just saying, it's weird that he's got a laptop there.
And you're saying like, well, they ran out of stuff. It's weird that they only had a laptop. They should have had more. They should have had more. I'm saying, why do you think they would be running out of like musical memorabilia? Well, how many hard rocks were there? There were a lot there. I mean, I think there's a point at the height. Let's say there's 200. That's too many. 200. That's a lot. They have a lot. I know. Let's say there's a,
The bar is high for what's on the wall. And then the walls are covered. I'm saying that they are digging in the crates for cool shit to put on their walls. And I bet Pauly D has a publicist or someone that was just like, we'll give you his laptop. And they're like, yeah, okay, we'll put it next to the men's restroom. Like, we need something there. It had its own, like,
full like floor to ceiling case with like a picture of him behind it, like headphone. Well, fucking cool. Unbelievable. It wasn't like just there, dude. I mean, they were a true phenomenon. They really were. They were a true phenomenon.
Yeah. Yes. Look, I'll never shit talk on Snooki. Our producer, Anna, is saying that they're back with a new season of their show and it's coming out soon. No. Which, hilarious. Because they're older than us, so now they're all mid-40s, late-40s, still doing the same shit. And that's hilarious. I know. GTL, is that that show? Fucking... Yeah, Jim Tan Laundry. Was it Laundry? I could not remember what the fucking...
Yeah, GTL. I just want to get this out there. I'm never going to shit talk about Snooki because Snooki went on Monday Night Raw or one of those things and did a fucking backflip off like some shit and did some crazy wrestling moves. And I was like, oh, she's not. Yes.
You could tell she was a high school cheerleader or something. She was like the little tumbling queen. Like the flyer. Yeah. She went straight luchador on that shit. But she still had it. Yeah, hell yeah. When she was doing that show, she was in her 20s. That was a long time ago. We'll see if she still has it when the show comes back out. Coming soon.
Jersey Shore. Oh, yeah. The new season. She's about to just do a back flip just to open the fucking credits. Can we name all these people? Yes, I can. Yeah, there's like a Vinny. I feel like you can. Okay. Blake said he can. Go ahead. Yes. Go ahead, Blake. Blake's a huge reality TV show junkie. Snooki. Snooki. Good. Pauly D. Pauly D. I wouldn't be able to. Mike, The Situation. Oh, The Situation. Yeah. Oh, sure. JWoww. Yeah.
JWoww? Wow, you're doing good. Oh, wow, JWoww. Who's the other guy? Who's the real Cock Diesel, dude? And there's one more. There's like that big, thick... Yeah, Cock Diesel. Is his name Vin? Cock Diesel. I know his name. Cock Diesel. His name was Cock Diesel. I know what it is. I just remembered it. You did? Oh, yeah. Blake knows them all. What is it, Blake? Um...
Tell me when you don't have it because I got it. It's not Cock Diesel? I have a guess of what his first name is. That's all I have. I'm floundering. I'm guessing Vinny, but I don't... No, not Vinny, but close, close. Oh, Vinny is a great guess, dude. That's a perfect guess. Vinny...
T-shirt-a-lini. I got it. Vinny Babasita. Okay, Durst has it. It's not Mike. Ronnie. Ronnie. Yeah, that's right. Ronnie's such a cool fucking name. Yeah, but that doesn't click at all for me, Ron. I don't know.
I don't remember Pat being his name even a little bit. Ronnie was like the little diesel dude. Yeah. They should have thrown in a guy who was completely different from all of them, just like Ronnie. And he just sort of like wore a suit and tie, went to work every day. Like that guy 80 miles. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, guys. Ronald. Jim T. Laundrie. No, they should have thrown. It should have been somebody that parties. What they should have done is Ders. Yes. But like early L.A. Ders where he's wearing like two Lacoste polos, popped collars. Like he's still doing a thing. Were they not kind of popping collars? They're popping collars. They were. They were kind of collar poppers. Oh, were they? I thought they were shirtless and oiled. Yeah. Shirts not allowed. I think that if they had on collars, they were popped.
Nucky grandma! Yeah, if they were wearing collars, they were popped. They were popped. Okay, then yeah, you would have fit in then, yeah. Were they wearing Affliction? Affliction, but the hair situation was the crazy thing. The Bloomin' Onion joints? The gel. Yeah. On the Bloomin' Onion. Yeah, hard hair. Real hard hair. Real, real hard hair. Dragon Ball Z going on for sure. For real. Yeah, they were bringing it. Did we get all the girls? Is that all the girls? JWoww, Snooki, and who was...
The Situation? Ange? Snooki and... Big Ange? Is Big Ange that show? I don't know. Big Ange. Yeah, there's one more girl. Because it was three and three, right? I'm just naming people now. Yeah, there has to be another girl. Like, maybe it's Ronda. Yeah, there's one more. Ronnie and Ronda or something? Right. Maybe it's JWoww. Memorable. Uh...
No. I mean, someone could Google this quickly and find out for us. What is the name of that other girl? I can picture her. We should not Google anything. What does she look like? Sandy. Tan. Okay.
Tan, dark hair. Anna, hit us with a name in the chat. Whale tail. By the way, good for them. She definitely has dark hair. My guess is pretty Italian. Yeah. Pretty Italian seeming. Because Italians kind of went away for a little bit, and then they brought them back. They did. Yeah, they did. They brought Italians back.
Hot, hot, hot, hot. Would Italians win away? Where'd they go? Yeah. You just didn't see much about Italians for a good five, seven years. They were bigger in like the 80s and 90s for sure. Yeah. Italians were huge in the 80s. Yeah, they were. Well, 70s too. Like mid to late 90s, you didn't really hear much about Italian people. Yeah. 70s, dude. Italians were big in the 70s too. Hey, I'm glad. You're right. You know?
Bring back the ask? What is that? What's bring back the ask? Okay, so that means our producers weren't listening and we asked... Oh, who's the third? Who is the name of the other... Not JWoww, not Snooki, but the other girl from...
Jersey Shore. The show that we're talking about. Who is the name? Sammy Sweetheart. That doesn't ring a bell. Sammy Sweetheart. Well, neither does Ronnie. I mean, are you bummed if you're Sammy Sweetheart and no one remembers you? No, you might actually be stoked about that. Yeah, I knew there was an Ange.
Angela Parivarnik. Oh, so her name is Angela Parivarnik. Wait, who's that? Sammy Sweetheart is Angela Parivarnik? There's four women? Those are two different people. There's four women. Angela was kicked off and allowed back. Was kicked off and allowed back. Oh, damn. That's always the best. Can we see a picture of Ronnie, possibly? Dina Nicole. Oh, there's another one? Dina Nicole? Now you guys are just throwing
Nice making stuff up. Dean and Nicole, how many people were on the Jersey Shore? Yeah, there seems to be like the three guys and then they might have had a few different rotating women. Hello. What is going on here? Now everybody is chiming in. There's like six different people. I've never seen the producer chat go off like,
this this is fucking firing bro my god yeah every everybody's chiming in wheel yeah there's ronnie yeah deaner was brought on later and she was part of the meatball crew with snooki snooki was part of a meatball crew what was that about the meatball crew because she was like a shaped like a little meatball
They had a little round, like a little meatball. No, really? Isn't it? And they're Italian, right? I mean, it's a Jersey Shore. It's very possible. And then there was the lasagna boys. Their dicks were shaped like lasagna. Oh, because they were like meat, like beefy dudes.
Oh, yeah, that makes more sense. Okay. That makes more sense. All right, cool. Damn. Well, shit. And they're back? You're saying they're back? Yeah, they're back and they're parents. On what? Paramount Plus? Yeah. They're coming back and Ronnie Ortez Magro, which is his name, is one year sober in Jersey Shore's Return. So he's sober. He's gone sober. Oh, okay.
Trucks make me cool. Good for him. It was going to be a sober perspective. And now he's going back on the reality show. That might be a real test for him. Yeah, that could be a trigger. Yeah. Recipe for disaster. Where the whole time he's just like, that's a bad decision. That's going to be a plot line. That's a big plot line, baby. Yeah, I'm seeing dollar signs.
Yep. You know these reality guys. They'll exploit that shit. What was the first of those VH1 reality shows where they put all the celebrities together? Oh, like celebrity rehab? It was like Ron Jeremy and the guy from Perfect Strangers and they were all like measuring dicks together and Mini-Me like died. Oh, dude. Did you see that
That Vern. Vern Troyer. You know what I mean? That Ron Jeremy. We're going right past that. Wait, no. No, what is that, Drew? What was that show? What was that era? And they would all have to speak with Dr. Drew? Is it Celebrity House? It was called Celebrity Rehab House or something. I thought it was Celebrity Rehab. Yeah, I thought that's. Right. And then, yeah, Dr. Surreal House. Surreal House? Surreal House.
Allegedly! Reality TV used to be like no holds barred. Actually real. I know. Like actually real. Well, produced. I think it's probably coming back if the writer's strike happens, which they say it might in a few months. Hollywood Minute. Hollywood Minute, ladies and gentlemen. Hollywood Minute.
A Hollywood Minute. This is an important Hollywood Minute. If the writer's strike happens, which they think it might in a few months, then the reality TV will be ushered back in because they technically don't have writers. It's not like reality TV has gone anywhere. I'm saying reality TV used to be like
flagrant and dangerous. Well, I feel like it has gone away. Like now it's just like the bachelor and like the big, the big hitters. Or now it's like more like game shows, the mass singer or like variety shows, stuff like that. Sure. But there was a time when like there was a million reality shows. Like,
Surreal House and Celebrity Rehab. Eliminate. Those are all still on. Big Brother's still on. It is? Is it? Yeah, it's in like season 52. Yeah, but like, isn't like the Kardashians a reality show? Yes, that's a reality show. Very much so. Yeah.
Adam, are you saying just like reality competition? Cause there's many genres. Yeah, it has. It's splintered. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I'm just talking about the ones that seem like it's icky. The ones that seem icky are seem to be gone. And I want those motherfuckers back. Like Jerry Springer. You want, you want, you want old school Jerry Springer back. I want like, who wants to marry a millionaire when you meet him for like 10 seconds, right? Uh,
I want like giraffe versus shark. I want all the crazy shit. You want whale. The reality show. I want whale. Well, I think that also, Ders, we found out that those types of reality shows are actually super damaging to the human psyche. For sure. The Osborne family went off the fucking side of a cliff after that. Did they? What? Wait, off the cliff? She's fine, but the kids went kind of...
haywire after that. But do you think that has stopped the demand for it? Well, yeah. I mean, you do a reality show with any family and with young people involved, they can't. I mean, same thing happened with Hogan. There it is. Yeah, they can't handle it. That being said, Blake,
It's not like everyone got a conscience and is like, conscience? I got myself. Jiminy Cricket, baby. And suddenly are like, well, now we can't do that because these families are going to go off a cliff. Yeah, that's true. That's what I mean. Like, we didn't, exactly. There's no morals in this. No, but Instagram happened and people are doing it their own and they're not like waiting for someone to put them on. They're just like, yo. That's true. That's true.
And now kids are doing like the Hype House and like David Dobrik and all those kids are like just doing their own thing on YouTube. And essentially they're doing reality shows of them and their friends. Yeah, people can go live now. They have the camera in their hand. That's as much reality TV as that. Hang on a second. Catch me up on this concept. What do we do?
What are you saying? They got a TV antenna in their pocket? Explain to old man Anders. What are you saying? Everyone's got their own call sign now? W-T-T-what? W-T-F? What are we talking about? Goodbye. Dude. Yeah, man. It's a crazy world out there.

Well, dude, speaking of like being so connected, it was so I just got back from Indonesia. Yeah. So good. On a trip. There was 15 of us. And it was the first time in my life that I absolutely couldn't get cell reception for like a week straight. Right. There was nothing you could do to get it.
That's got to be weird. Yeah, it was actually like really kind of cool and very weird. Yeah, I dig that. And it was like a full-on week of like just not getting any – and like I kept my phone on and then it would be like in the middle of the night I would get like 23 texts. Like we were – we went through a passage somewhere that suddenly a satellite was pointing at and I was able to get these text messages. Did you get my nudes? Yeah.
Indonesia is like maybe the prettiest place. I mean, for sure the prettiest place I've ever been. But kind of the sad part is there's like a lot of trash. Like there's a lot of like plastic. And I've never been like the type of guy –
Who gives a fuck? That would see a plastic bottle and be like, fuck. I recycle like a regular person, but I'm not that crazy about it. Well, let's get into it. How do you recycle? How regular is it? Now I'm like, fuck, I need to get all the plastic out of my life. I'm like, I need to be one of those guys that carries around a metal canister of his water. And a glass straw. It was crazy. Some of these bottles are so trashy.
This is... We were all like, wow. My God. This is... Dude, Adam was...
Adam was about to make a stance. He was about to flex his power. His mission statement and he froze. That's big plastic that froze him before he could talk about it. I was going to ask, did he recognize anything out there? Like, that's mine. Yeah, what?
the freaking headache dude I guess I have to save that joke okay I'm chunking am I chunking oh he's back he's back Adam it was perfect dude I like I was I was teeing off on like how I need to like be more socially responsible when it comes to the recycling and then you guys all had the uh uh
most like disgusting looks on your face. I'm like, okay. Yeah. I mean, fuck recycling. It's not real. It doesn't work. Yeah. No. I was kidding. I don't recycle. But it truly was the prettiest place I've ever been. It really was. Adam, did you just see like lots of like plastic barges like out in the water? Is that what you're talking about? Like you just saw these plastic. Plastic craters.
Like collections of like fucking or like what? We would like go to like these. It was so pretty. And we were away from there wasn't a single other. There was like another boat that was we were kind of on the same journey together. That's cute. And so we would see this other boat every day or two. But like really there was no other people. We didn't run into any locals. We didn't run into anyone. And you'd be like, hey, can we go kick it? So we were on like a yacht and we were like, can we go kick it?
on this beach over here? And they're like, yeah. And they'd go and the people that were working on the yacht would like go and put up umbrellas and like, and we'd go over there and it's beautiful. And then you kind of go around the corner and you see like where all the water pushes and there'd just be like certain spots where it would just collect all the, just for how the current moves.
And it'd just be like a little trash island over there. And you're like, fuck, man, this sucks. And right around the corner, it's pristine and it's beautiful. But then just like right around the river bend. This is what Pocahontas was about, dude. That's crazy. It's cool you guys did your part, though. You cleaned it up. Yeah, you grabbed it. You got out there. No, we did. Chloe and I were like, do you have a fucking bag where we can pick some shit up? He's like, yeah, there's a bag over here.
Throw a bag in there, man. Yeah, a bunch of bags. Here's a bag. There's tons of bags right over there. Plastic bags. Oh, my God. Take that bag filled with other plastics. Yeah, but I mean, there was no making a dent in it. It was like, don't even try. You'd pick something up and it'd be like, everything's kind of congealed together. And you're like, oh, shit. Now it's just one giant piece of plastic. That's it.
That's impossible. You gotta burn it. Don't even take a step. Yeah, don't even step towards it. Send it to space. But besides that, like, it was, like, the prettiest place. I went scuba diving every day. Oh, damn. And, like, the coolest scuba diving fucking ever. I mean, and there were sharks everywhere, which is cool since we did the... We're kind of your scuba buddies, but okay. Yeah, what the hell? Well, since we did Shark Week together, like, it was cool to have, like, absolutely no fear of the sharks and...
All the other people were diving. We're like, oh, sharks. I'm like, it's fine. Acting like some bitches. You're like, this thing biting me? Yeah, I'm like. Does not matter. This guy? What kind of sharks are we talking about? What kind of stuff are we seeing under there? They weren't too gnarly. It was just like black tip, like reef sharks. Did you say the sharks had bleach tips?
Bleach tips. Yeah, they're from Blake's favorite decade, the 90s. Oh, man. Bleach tips out there underwater? Yeah. When the shark smiled and had no teeth and then showed his necklace with all his teeth. Yeah, bro. You kidding me? Snooki. Snooki the shark, baby. Adam, I'm glad you didn't drown. Because if you drown caught in one of those little plastic six-pack ringlets...
What a bummer. That would have been the worst way to go. We would have to do a PSA. That would have been the worst way to go. But it did make me go like, man, I hope I continue to work for another 10 years because I'd like to be able to afford to go on trips like this, like myself, with my friends. I was almost positive you were going to circle back to some sort of cause. Yeah.
I know. I thought so, too, that it's like I want to be able to make a dent on you. You're like, it really kind of struck me, and I want to keep working so I have a platform where I can speak. Nope. Yeah. Yeah. Trips on yachts around the world, for sure. No, no, no. I'll go pick up some shit on the beach every once in a while. Yeah, I'm with you. I hope so, too. Because it was the best, dude. I'm like, my God, that's the perfect way to vacation. I totally get it.
It's like, yeah, there's no debate. That's like a dream. Like it's gotta be. Yeah. I mean, I guess I didn't know that it was my dream. Like I figured like, I want to go explore. I want to go to different cities and like go to different places. It's,
But I'm like, no, it turns out I don't. I don't want it to be hectic. I just want to wake up and be in a beautiful place and then just sort of lounge around, have people bring me food, and then go swimming and go diving. That's right. Man of the people. I love this guy. Relatable. Wait, you didn't know that this was your dream? Yeah, yeah. How did you? I didn't know that, dude. I thought I wanted to go mix it up. What? And get out there, but nah, dude. That makes sense. I don't. Hey, they swung you.
twist my arm. They swung me, man. They won me over. They swung me, dude. They got my vote, guys. I'm team billionaire now. Turns out I love my own personal yacht, people serving me, setting me up umbrellas. Something about it. Dude,
I did. Call me crazy. I'm in, brother. You're twisting my arm. I didn't know how I was going to feel about people waiting on me hand and foot. Turns out, love it. Turns out, it's cool. It was great. I hope I just keep working so they can keep hooking me up.
If there's no garbage can, you just chuck it overboard. It collects all together. It's fine. It'll congeal over there on that island. It's all good. It's all Gucci. That's dope. How many days? So did you, you never, you didn't go to land. You didn't go like check out, uh,
whatever the big city is. No, no locals. No, never, never went in here. Like the, the staff were, they were all local and you know, you talk to them about like what it's like living in Indonesia. Not too long though. Of course. Were you going to bring me that drink or do we have to keep talking? Uh,
No, but what's funny is like in Indonesian culture, they're Muslim and they like didn't Mostly, some aren't. Mostly, yeah. And they like didn't drink. Yeah. So like you felt like a real alcoholic. Smoke weed every day. You're like, can I get another? And they're like, another? Really?
And you're like, well, you know. Yeah, it'll be weird about it. Yeah, I'm kind of going to do this until I go to bed. Yeah, I'm going to keep having these. Really? Want any water? You're like, you don't understand. The nightmares, the childhood, you know. Yeah, I sort of have to drink and then take Z-Quil right before I go to bed in order just to sleep at night. Right. Keep them coming. This is the way. What was the show, the WeWork show where –
Anne Hathaway and what's the homeboy's name? Fucking actor dude who we were talking about his dick on like the second episode. Actor dude. Um, Kenny Tatum. Actor dude. Jared Leto. Jared Leto. Jared Leto. Jared Leto. Jared Leto. Really? Yes. Yes. Great. Yeah. Um,
Who cares? That was good. Sorry. The housekeeper comes in to wake him up and lights a bong for him as he rolls out of bed and he hits it. Oh, shit. Who was that? You guys got to watch the WeWork show. It was pretty good. I don't even know. We crashed. Oh, it's called We Crashed on Apple TV. Yeah.
Man, they sure did make a lot of those startup shows. I watched the Uber show, and then the- I missed that one. How was that? What is that? Uber good. It was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and it was- Oh.
On Showtime. And it was fine. Yeah. It was fine. What is it? About the upstart of Uber? Dude, that's fucking... Kyle's like, never heard of it. No, this shit's so whack, dude. I sort of was like, who gives a shit? Yeah. I heard about this with the Beanie Babies, and I'm like, who gives a fuck about the inner workings of the... Adam's mad now. Adam's like, well, actually... Right.
It's different. That's different. No, but honestly, like, who cares about the inner working? Honestly. I'm kind of thinking that when I'm watching Chippendales. I'm like, who fucking cares? What do you mean? Don't watch it. Who cares? But that, to me, at least it seems like there was a cool story with the Chippendales guy. Like, doesn't he kill someone or he, like, went crazy? Well, I don't know. I haven't got to the end of it because it really lost me. Like, I'm like, eh, just kind of just like, whatever. Is this gay stuff, dude? I don't got time. Yeah, so, like...
The Uber one was like, he was kind of misogynistic. Right. Uh-huh, misogynist people. The Uber guy, right? The Uber guy. Okay. And that was like the stiff, I think I didn't finish it, so maybe it gets better. But I just was like, he's not, he wasn't like a total monster, and it didn't seem like it was that bad.
It didn't seem like he was deserving of a whole show. Like something needs to happen in order to give this a show. Right. Like he should have murdered someone. No, I know. That's what I was saying the other day. I feel like these mini series are just hitting tropes and they're not really, they're taking IP and then they're hitting tropes and they're giving actors a great platform to do a fucking sick ass performance and
every episode, but the storytelling is wackadoodle and I don't care. Dude, I'm saying if you have a startup and you want a spinoff show... Yes, it comes back from Italy.
Yes, sir. Yes. Italian. Listen to me. If you want to spin our show, what you have to do is you have to murder someone. You have to murder someone. Are these shows at least informative? Like, why are you even pushing play then if you don't care about the story of Uber or Chippendale? Blake, Blake.
relax i didn't know i didn't know i was just i was fucking bored and was just like i'm not gonna push play on the uber show i'm gonna tell you that right now you gotta watch the we work one it's good but what is why what
What is so good? It's like he wakes up and smokes weed. Like I do that sometimes. I do that every fucking day, dude. Every day. Give me a show. Yeah, yeah. Fucking I don't need to watch a show about a guy doing that. Within 15 minutes, I'm fucking hitting that weed, baby. Smoke weed every day. He has someone who does that for him. He like puts his mouth up and they light it and he hits it. That's one part of the show.
The reason I'm watching is Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto are like next level. Yeah. Exactly. They're performance vehicles. I can't deny that. These actors get juice every fucking scene. Wait, so shows are performance vehicles? Sure. I like Anne Hathaway. Is Jared Leto...
Yeah, he's amazing. Yeah, that guy puts in some work. I'm confused as to, I don't know, I feel like you could say this about any show. Like, why am I watching it? I mean, it's just an informative story. I know. And Blake, when you get dark and deep like that, bro...
Deep and dark. Here we go. Deep and dark. Dark and stormy. What do you want? You want Jared from Subway Story? You want to go dark? They're probably going to make that. Yeah, I would. That would be a better story, dude. If you took the Uber off the title, took the chase of the IP out there, it would force the story. It's not called Uber. It's not called the Uber story. Whatever. It's called Taxi. No, it's not. It's called Super Pumped. No, but Taxi was a show...
about people driving people around. We've been over this. Blake needs shows that have what it is in the title. Oh, sure. Right, right, right. Plane. Is this thing on? Yeah. That was last week. I just think they're like, oh, it's going to be an Uber show. People will click because it's Uber. And then the storytelling just fucking falls. It's just not good. Wait, why? But what part of saying the name Uber makes me go, ooh.
Uber, I've taken that. I want to know the story of Uber. That doesn't... That's exactly what it is. TaskRabbit. I've got to tune in. Craigslist. Oh, shit. Snapchat, the movie. I fucking think this shit is so stupid that there's a show that exists like that because it clogs the airwaves for an original piece that could be much more fucking interesting and dynamic. So wait, where does that line stop for you? Did the 9-11 movie, United 9-3 or whatever...
Is that stupid to you? Yeah. Huh? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Is that what you're saying? Is Gorilla in the mist? Weird? Yeah. What about Tucker, a man in his dream? That's a very heroic story. Aren't those heroic stories? Those are heroic stories. Tucker was an unsung company. You didn't know about Tucker. You didn't know about Tucker. Guys, guys, guys. You didn't know about Tucker, motherfucker. I don't know about Tucker.
Yeah.

The reason I brought up Super Pumped. The battle for Uber, it's in the title. The battle for Uber. Okay. I guess it is in the title. Suck it down! The reason I brought it up was there was nothing to it.
Okay, you're just saying it's not a great... Like, I understand if 9-11 or something where there's, like, it actually something happens that you can build a show around, a traumatic event. Or, like, even in the Chippendales where I'm pretty sure he murders people at some point. Okay. Well, there's, like, shit that goes on the first couple episodes that I've seen, but then it just becomes, like, what is this? So, I'll
finish it. Just naked dudes, bro. I'm not trying to watch that. No, I like that part. And so, the rescue rangers do or don't solve the murder? Yeah, what's going on with Chip and Dale? The Chip and Dale's rescue rangers? Yes, points! Is Monterey Jack in it? Stupid. What's the name of the little fly? Zzz.
Zip. Zipper? Oh, yeah. I guess it's just, it just is feeling like, fuck that shit. You know what I mean? Like, it's just feeling like, fuck that shit. I can't really. Dude, and I love when you get dark and stormy. Dark and deep. Yeah, and really narns. Yeah. I think it's just clogging the airwaves is what I don't like about it. It's like, just trash clogging the airwaves. I don't know.
Kyle, I mean, we're just going to say stuff we all know. It's just familiarity. Yeah. It's just because if somebody made up a movie about a company, everyone would be...
the way we would pitch it. That wouldn't get greenlit. I know. But what I'm saying is that's what I'm saying. Anyway, as you would go, imagine a company like Uber and then they would go, why don't you just make the one called Uber? So everyone who goes, Hey, what's on tonight? Hey, there's a show about making Uber. They go, I know what that is. As opposed to, it's a movie about a company kind of like Uber called Duger. But,
I'm so confused. Well, I get it. And you would think a juggernaut would go like, if we were like, and we have this hit show, Seven Seasons, and we're doing this movie. They would. Chuck E. Cheese. They would green line it. If they did the super pump the battle for Uber, you would think. Is it international? Yeah, that's true. Is it global? Just big in Australia. Yeah. Oh, I started watching Tulsa King. Did you guys start watching Tulsa King? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, legit not good. And I wanted to love it. Dude, I watched... I wanted to really like it. I couldn't sleep last night. And I watched the whole thing. I watched all of it. Oh, wow. Because I commit to bad stuff. I'll just double down on it and watch the whole damn thing. Damn. And it just doesn't get much better. And you're just sort of like... And Adam, what was your take on Banshees of Inishirin? I really want to see that. I didn't watch it. I did watch...
Last night I watched All Quiet on the Western Front and oh my god, it's good. Oh yeah, that's good shit. Who's in it? Is it really that quiet? It's way loud. Yeah, it's sort of, it's super loud on the Western Front. There's like bombs and shit. Is it German? Yeah, it's a German movie. Well, they spent that part in the second act on the Eastern Front. That was a good departure. Wake up! Wake up!
Yeah. And also it made me like refresh my memes on what the fuck happened in World War I. I'm like, what happened in World War I? What do you mean refresh your memory? I never knew. Well, I feel like I knew, like I passed history class. Like I must have known what the fuck was going on. It was the Ottoman Empire. Um,
I know more about World War II than World War I. The black hand. Yes, it was the black hand. Because World War II was actually about shit. World War I? World War I was just like land battles. It was like battle over land. World War I? No, I thought that was... Isn't that where like... Wasn't it like Franz Ferdinand got murdered?
And then, like, we went to war over that, like Austria-Hungary and shit. Cool band. Were we involved in that? Was America in World War I? Yeah. Yes. And we came in way later. Yeah. Late to the party. Okay, okay. We were late to the party. And then when we came, we just fucking rolled, fools, dog. Sick, dude. World War Champion two times, back to back. Is that where G.I. Joe came from? Is that where what came from? Is that where G.I. Joe came from, World War I?
Must be. The cartoon from the 80s? I don't think so. I think it was a toy first. Oh, yeah, it was. It was like a Barbie doll. Yeah, it must be. It's possible. No, it was a G.I. Joe, homie. It wasn't a Barbie doll. What the fuck, Blake? No, you're done. You can leave. You can go. Where was Destro in World War I?
But it's a really good movie. If you haven't seen it, it's on Netflix, all quiet on the Western front. And I guess they've made, I guess it was a huge book. And then this is like the fourth time they've made the movie. Well, I've seen the original or I don't like the, the one from way back. Well, back,
I didn't know it was from Wabak. I thought it was like a, I was like, oh, that's a good title. I feel like I've heard that somewhere. And then obviously they've done it four other times. I got to see that. That's crazy that they were like, hey, that movie everyone loves that I think is like one of like the AFI top 100 movies and all that. Let's remake
I know. Yeah. Hey, real dice roll. Well, that's been no. Shut up, Kyle. I mean, I'll be real. And what's kind of crazy is it's in German, but they dub it in English for us. So like it doesn't quite match up.
And at first you're like, oh, this is going to bug me. I'd rather just read subtitles. Well, subs are dubs, baby. I think you can do that in your dials of your Netflix or whatever it was on. Oh, is that right? Yeah, you can. I think so. I did not. Yeah, because remember, what was that really popular show where it was like the game show and everybody's dying, the Korean show? Squid Game? Yes. Squid Game.
That, when it was dubbed, was terrible. I had to just read subtitles. I preferred the subtitles. The dub acting was bad. Bad stuff. I believe you. I got used to it. At first, I'm like, it's going to bother me. And then it didn't. It was just like Samurai Sunday for you. And then I didn't have to read.
And then I did have to read. Pizza, pizza. I like subtitles. Go ahead, Kyle. Kyle, you have the floor. No, Kyle, go ahead. Kyle, you have the floor. What are you going to say about Chip and Dale's? No, man. Dude, we know you don't like naked guys, all right? You made your point, all right? No, I told you I like that part. That part was tight. What do you got, Kyle? What do you got, baby? I was just saying there's a difference in my mind between a remake and an IP grab.
for whatever reason. Like, there's a major difference. You know that they're both IP though, right? I do know that, but... A remake is a remake of... Yeah, what does that mean? Intellectual property for everybody at home who doesn't give a fuck about this. Right, so like, I know that Fast and Furious was a
was a remake. Really? Yeah, that's from like the 30s they made that movie. Sorry, but is it a remake or is it just a title reuse? Title. Yeah, it's a title reuse. No, Vin Diesel. It's a way different movie. It wasn't a remake. Is it about family? Well, there's always going to be a reinterpretation though, right? It's always going to be that. That's been going on since plays where it's like this person directs this play and there's an interpretation. Right, but there's still the same script.
They go off the same script, though. I think you can take liberties, though, can't you? I know, but what you're saying is that Fast and Furious was a remake of a movie. And it's like, was it a remake? Or they were like, good title. Let's use the title again and make a totally new movie. Right. And nobody knew the title when they remade it. So they were like, we have this piece of gold that we can take. So it really didn't help anybody go to the theaters. And also Fast and Furious was a bad movie.
Uh-oh. It was sort of a remake because it was point break. Right. Like beat for beat. Yes. Which is fine because it completely switched the backdrop. A whole new world, which, you know, that I love. A whole new world.
Yeah. Like if you wanted to do like a remake of the fugitive or something like that, it would have been great. It would have been great. So like, you know, that'd be amazing. That fugitive is one of my favorite movies. It's not like a wife doesn't get killed. Maybe like a drug dealer gets put in a coma and three friends go to jail and have to get out.
Yeah, that'd be awesome. That would be a really fun movie. Right. That'd be a really fun movie. That's a nice little lateral. Swap Harrison Ford for the Three Stooges and we're good. That's pretty good. Yeah, so just to give fans some update on the movie, still not happening. No update. Yeah.
So no update. Give me a hell yeah. Down date. Nothing really to say, except for we're still butthurt about it. We're still going to send it. And we're poking around Paramount Plus to see what kind of content they got. Yeah. Well...
Tulsa King. Hey, we'll remake Tulsa King. Yeah, make it. Bro, Sly is 75. Oh, is he that old? Let's make a movie about the guy who created Dave and Buster's. That would be pretty freaking sick. RIP, by the way. Did he murder some people? Well, he just passed away, so we could maybe sniff around and find out why. It could be intriguing. Because he was murdered. Natural causes. What?
Old. Yeah, he ate too many fucking chicken wings, man. I don't know. I just like, I think as the four of us, Dave and Buster's, it just makes sense, dude. Well, there's only four of us and those are two names. It's actually one guy named Davin. Davin. His last name is Buster's. Yes. Davin Buster's.
Dude, when's the last time you guys been to a Dave and Buster's? Because those places freaking rock, dude. Too long. Is that how we all get together? We all hit up the Hollywood Dave and Buster's? I would like that. Or maybe we hit the one out in Arcadia, guys? I don't know. I'm living in a nightmare.
Oh, we got to drive way out to you. I've been to that one. Kyle, would you show up for that? Would you pull up to it? For Arcadia? Yeah, man. I'll roll to Arcadia. Also, we can go to, let's haul ass out to Catalina. That'd be fun. I'm down for that. Oh, that's a good idea. Do a channel run. That's a good idea. I like that. Let's do a little day trip. Switch channels? A little channel change? Yes, points! Woo!
I like that. Little channel hop. What else? Little Coco Chanel. Is there any take backs, apologies, any epic slams? When does this show come out? When does this episode drop? Do we know? 69. Get it in. This episode is dropping. I think we're two weeks out. Is this the Oscars? Is this the Oscars?
When are the Oscars? February 6th. February 6th. Oh, congratulations. Everything, everywhere, all at once. Oh, you're calling it. Yeah. Fuck yeah, dude. You think, huh? I like that. I think they'll take Song. I think the Daniels have a chance of taking Director. What song? I love Sunlux. Sunlux made all the music for that movie, and I just hope he does. I just don't even know the song, though. I don't know the name of it either, but...
The band composed the movie and they rocked. What is the movie called? Everything Everywhere All at Once. Is that right, Kyle? Yeah. Everything. Yeah. Yes. Did you never see it, Adam? No, I just watched it on a plane. The plane from Indonesia. Dude, it took four. You saw a little bit of some of it all in pieces? All in pieces. Okay. Points.
Yes, points! Let's take that IP. I'll do that. No, I saw it all, but dude, it's four flights, and it takes over 24 hours to get there. It's a true halt.
But, uh, yeah, I watched it, but I was like half paying attention. I feel like I, I, I need to rewatch and like really invest. That movie is a fucking fever dream, dude. Yeah. Because the internet was on and popping Singapore airlines. Their internet works great. I'm like, Oh shit, this is way better than Delta. Like their fucking shit sucks. Uh,
Like, Singapore Airlines, my God. It's on fire, this Wi-Fi. So I was just, like, cruising Twitter, my favorite app. Hey, I love Singapore Airlines, too. Let me get a voucher. There we go. Yeah, let's get some vouchers, baby. Fuck it! So, yeah, I wasn't paying close enough attention. Every time I looked up, it was so insane and wild that I was like, oh, fuck, I like...
totally I have no idea what the fuck is happening dude you gotta really watch that one I can tell you Blake Blake will you tell them what it is hold on hold on sorry I was looking at the actual date what is it it's a bagel yes there is a bagel in the movie oh yes exactly but the Oscars aren't until March 12th so we still have a long
Long way to go. We got some time. This is just a big early tease. Congratulations on the noms. Do we want to just give one minute? One minute to just kind of discuss how Tom Cruise was not nominated for a role in which
The movie's decent, right? The cast around him's fine. What is this? Top Gun? Top Gun. Maverick? Top Gun Maverick. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Why didn't you see it? It was for sure worth going to the theater for. It was fun. Tom Cruise alone makes this world real.
Everything is carried on his shoulders. Dude, I know we're like a group of real Tom Cruise lovers here. And I talk to other actors and they like don't quite feel our love of Tom. But he is phenomenal, dude. He is like every movie he's ever done is fucking infinitely better because he's in it. Perfect. Yeah.
He's done, like, his streak is unreal. He's like a Bose speaker in movies. Does Tom have a stinker?
Does Tom Cruise have a stinker? Yeah, a film. Yeah. Yeah, a bad movie? I mean, there has to be one in there somewhere. What are his bad movies? It was The Mummy. The Mummy. The Mummy. Oh, sure. Right. He took over that. Yeah. Brendan Fraser, bro. Wait, he did The Mummy? Yeah, those are big shoes to fill. Who he might lose to? The Whale. Oh, The Whale. I gotta see that. I gotta watch it. Oh, dude. By the way, I was talking with my orthopedic surgeon, like his second in charge guy, the doctor right underneath him. Mm-hmm.
And I was kind of bummed that they didn't tell me anything about my groin. And I'm like, dude, this sucks. I can't work out anymore. I can't ride a bike. I feel like I'm just going to be obese. And I'm just going to morph into this giant blob of a person. And he goes, dude, have you seen the whale? And I go, no, I haven't seen it yet. And he goes, well, that's awesome because like –
I could see you doing something like that. That'd be like a good piece for you. And I'm like, well, I don't know. Oh, wow. Really? This guy was on board for you doing that. Like a role. I eat because I'm on. Yeah. And I go, well, you know, Brandon Frazier hurt his back and,
and then gained all that weight, like had to quit acting essentially because he hurt his back from doing stunts and stuff. And then he said no to a bunch of things and then things kind of dried up for him because he kept saying... I thought he was in a fat suit. No.
No, no. I think a little bit of it was. Well, he was in a tattoo, but a lot of it is real. He is much, much bigger. Was he really? So he gained like a ton of weight from having these back issues and never getting it work. And it was the same thing. It was like he was working too much. He couldn't get it fixed and worked on. And I'm like,
And so I told this guy and he goes, yeah, that sounds like you. Like no remorse at all. It was like, he's just not even looking at you. Yeah. That sounds like your way. You're going that way. He's like, yeah, that sounds like what you're going through. All right. So, uh, that's a thousand dollars. That'll be 10 grand. Betty at the front will take your money. That's a wheel. Good luck.
All right, guys. Shout out to Rock of Ages, Tom Cruise. I'm going to run that one down. Hell yeah, dude. Shout out. All right. Are you just putting two in 40 years? Yeah, yeah. Living legend, Tom Cruise. And we're not giving him flowers. No, no, no, no. You're absolutely not giving him flowers. This is not a flower situation. No flowers game. This is more accolades. Yeah, accolades. We don't give flowers anymore. We give accolades.
Yeah, accolades. We're giving accolades. Congratulations on the first set of accolades, Mr. Cruz. And that was another episode of... This is important. See ya. See ya. Hear that? Pumpkin.
That's fall calling. And the pumpkin spice latte is back at Starbucks. From that first sweater to late autumn weather, it's all a fall in just one sip. Order ahead on the Starbucks app.
