Today on This is Important...

Radio silence since he took four duffel bags full of weed. Texas had me scared when I was smoking weed. I slept upside down in my closet, but I slept. He's dicking that Chucky costume. Come on. We're all thinking it. Buckle up. Smack it. Smack it. We back it. All right, loser. Damn, son.

Wow. Damn, those come in hot. See, Blake, this is what I was hoping was going to happen, that you fully revamped the soundboard. Oh, yeah. You retired a bunch of old soundboard clips because they are from the tour. We're back in our respective, it looks like a closet, an office where we don't hang stuff. I'm in a closet. I'm in my boy cave. Yeah, Dirk's just in his little boy cave.

And then I have curtains behind me, and you've got a nice piece of artwork hanging there, bud. Yeah, you put some art up, Blake. It looks good, dude. Yeah, I finally have had some time to be in my house, and I hung two things. And one of them is behind me. Wow, big stuff. Now, will you describe that to the listeners, please? What are we looking at? This is some art by my friend Skinner. It's a lot of monsters from...

the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual. So it is a lot of fun. And you like that. Oh, that's a lot of fun. Yeah. You know, I just freaking smoke weed and stare at it for freaking hours, dude. And monsters.

We love Skinner. We love Skinner. Shout out, baby. Love him. Oakland's finest. So did you retire some of the soundboard that will never hear them again? Is that what you're trying to say, Beezer? No. What is this narrative you're pushing, Adam? What's going on? See, I think an exciting thing for the podcast would be like,

You know, we're back. We're doing... Totally different. We're back. It's going to be totally different. Are we still part of it or is it just you? I'm doing my own podcast. What are these ideas that come out on air? Expectations? What's going on here? Here's my pitch. Okay, I like this. We make a big deal about retiring certain things from the podcast. Including people. Okay.

All right. Fine. I get it. I'm out. We do a whole 20 minutes on retiring whatever one that we decide or maybe a handful that we decide. We're retiring these. We're no longer going to do the cause of diarrhea or whatever we choose. Finish him. I don't know if that's the one or not.

And are we doing like a Sarah McLachlan I will remember you moment to these? Oh, that would be cool. I believe so. I believe we have to. Well, just you guys, the fans, go ahead and send in your votes for what gets the chop. Yeah. Wait, the fans get to decide or do we get to decide? I feel like we should decide this. Well, here's Kyle. Here's what we do. The fans. I let fans decide everything in my life. Yeah.

That's why my kids are named Baskin Robbins as a collective My son Zio's pizza No, I feel we let the fans decide and then when we don't like what the fans decide we just do whatever we want hard Yeah, so that's democracy. Yeah, they late they do the legwork and then we the veto power veto

Veto power. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, dude. Okay, I'm down on that. I like it, you know, and then it'll be... A very special episode of This is Important. Yeah. Okay. Well, because I reached out to Blazer just a few days ago about the soundboard, and I was like, I think we got to make some room because...

Oh, the Cat Williams interview. Oh, man. Yeah. We're back to some topical stuff. I'm like, is our entire podcast now just going to be soundbites from that? From Cat Williams. That's a tough one to pull from because it's three hours of good stuff.

Dude, I have not seen the whole thing. I'm trying to, but it's really long. Well, by the way, you do not have to watch. It's so long. Yeah, I fell asleep on Friday listening to that shit. It's way too long. I watched like 30 minutes of it and was like, just give me the heavy hitters. I just want to see. Yeah, there's highlights on YouTube. Yeah, just the highlights this morning. Shut the fuck up!

I feel like when I watch the highlights, though, it's pretty much the first 30 minutes. Like he came out fucking hot and did all the dirty swing. And he had a fucking hit list ready to go. He had an agenda. And then what? Like the last two hours are just recipes that he recommends. Well, that I don't know. I haven't. He tells fans how to make snickerdoodles.

I make a macaroni cheese that Cedric the Entertainer can't fuck with. And you're like, oh, that's not as interesting as... D.L. Hughley can't fuck with my... with my Bistroganom. Bitch, you don't think I can make ramen? Ricky Smiley can't cook because Ricky Smiley can't cook.

Guy Torrey can't touch my jambalaya, bitch. Pizza, pizza. I got a tuna casserole. But Cat is fucking cool, right? I can say it, right? Yeah. Dude. I think Kevin Hart had the best comeback. He was like, Cat. What was it?

He said, essentially, he was like, you're a legend. You're fantastic. You had it all. You can't blame anyone else for you falling off except for yourself. You didn't do the press stuff. You didn't show up. He's too cool. That's Kat's problem. He's too cool, man. He was just too cool. He didn't show up to the...

thing and when you don't show up to the thing they don't want to hire you the next time right right fucking disaster my guy that being said 10 years after he's fallen off he can release a pretty dope podcast that we're all excited about yeah I do think it's an interesting I do think it's an interesting kind of like what's the word here just like looking at the way things pan out so it's like yeah if you're Kevin Hart you're a super nice guy you say yes to a lot of things you show up and you do the

The things outside of what we can call stand-up or the art, right? Yeah. And Kat is like...

I'm not really interested in that bullshit. That's not what I'm doing. I'm here to make stand up, do art, make people laugh and, and be the best at that. Right. And fight 14 year old. And so what's, what's more, what's better, what's cooler being Kevin Hart and having a thousand watches and being a decent shirt. Yeah. It's cool. It's subjective. This is subjective, but no one's going to remember your watches player. Right. Watches are tight. Goodbye. They're going to remember that one dope interview you gave.

Like, I'll say this. Does Kevin Hart ever want Cat Williams to open up for him? I'm sure Cat Williams would let anybody open up for him because Cat knows Cat's going to be scratching after. But you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think he's angry. I think he's just kind of like, let's just let's just set the table here and remind everybody that like,

Of course, of course. But like, I think it's because the emphasis on on this business now is on the watches. Yeah. I don't think it was. He didn't mention watches from what I remember. But I'm saying like the signifiers of making it the signifiers of success are

We got it. We have it really twisted right now. Well, there's a level of professionalism that I think Kat just does not have. Like he straight up wouldn't show up to stand up gigs. He straight up wouldn't show up when he's shooting, wouldn't show up on set. And they're like looking for him. Like you have to if you sign up for a job.

you have to do the job. Yeah, I'm not denying that. And then when there's press stuff, you have to go do the press stuff. Right, but what I'm stressing is I would argue he's more professional about the one thing he cares about, which is...

the creation itself like doing the stand-up like he's putting in the legwork and making it happen whereas you watch some other stand-up specials and you're like this doesn't seem super tight yeah but then they go and do all the pr work and then it becomes huge you know what i mean because they've done the legwork their their commitment to the craft is committing to the pr and

And I'm not arguing either way, by the way. I'm just kind of like, this is fascinating to me to have him be like... I also haven't watched Cat Williams' new special. Has he released a new special in a while? I mean, I just watched that one in Florida where he just went for 20 minutes on the weather and I was rolling. Yeah.

Yeah. He's so good. He's amazingly fun. I mean, I told you guys about the time when I did new faces in Montreal, which is like a big, they invite the 20 new comics from around the world and call them the new faces of comedy, blah, blah, blah. And they, so I was invited and I performed my set. And then afterwards, the same crowd sat around for the masters and,

And it and Cat Williams was going to be one of the masters. And as we're we're like going and we're sitting in the back waiting to watch the show. And we had just gotten done. And it's pretty exciting, you know, because we just did our sets. And all of a sudden, these women come through that are basically wearing lingerie. I'm assuming prostitutes. Oh, they weren't standups. No.

No, they weren't local standards. They weren't masters. It was Amy Schumer. They were masters, though, right? They were masters. Whitney Cummings. They were masters of something. They were masters. And they go, ladies and gentlemen, take your seats. Cat Williams is in the building. And they walk through the whole audience just being like, take your seats. Cat Williams has arrived. That's it.

This is the professionalism I'm talking about. That's like the woman from Carmen San Diego. This was 06. I feel like he had it all together in 06 and then something slid after that. But that is so dope. I think he realized, I don't want to play the game of having to do all the press and that kind of stuff. I don't think he's cut out for it. Sorry, Kyle. No, no. I was just saying the same thing, basically, that that's like going above and beyond for the craft of that show that he's doing where he's being recognized.

as a master for what he wants to do. He doesn't give a fuck about he's a master of promoting. That's just...

He doesn't care. You know who he reminded me of? I mean, that sounds like he promoted pretty well if he has strippers going through telling you to take your seat. Well, yeah, it seems like he was doing pretty well for that. I mean, you're right. Maybe you should talk to Kat, Blake. Maybe you should bend this a little bit. I would love to. I'm the one who told him to go do club cha-cha. He listened to me. I do love if Blake just walked up and said one sentence to Kat, I envision him looking at you for just a moment to let you know

That was not okay to approach him and then walking away. Shut the fuck up! But the vibe I get from Cat is like, to me, he reminds me of Paul Mooney, who, again, just every sentence he says is like the funniest thing I've ever heard. Right. Yeah, I think he's a pretty prolific guy. Adam's thinking Kyle Mooney. Which also. Also very funny. Super funny dude, bro. Arguably kind of the same comic, Cat.

and kyle moon but kind of the same like yeah kind of the same vibe same length hair uh what else i mean i just think that uh you know cat likes to have a mystique and be mysterious and i do also think he has the comedy to to back it up but yeah he's a bit of a and he's a private guy like you don't people you don't know people don't know that he had all these adopted kids and stuff yeah he does and you're like yeah what and they like took him away and shit

Who did? The government. Oh, damn. No, Kevin Hart. That's why he's pissed. When? I'm trying to read about that right now. I feel like he was trying to say that all that shit was fucking bullshit. On December 28th, 2012, was arrested on child endangerment charges. He was held in lieu of $100,000 bail and his four of his adopted children were placed in protective custody. Oh, shit. This is on Cedric the Entertainer's website? What?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. DL Hughley's putting this shit out. Now, this is on the wick on his wiki. Yeah. I read all this stuff the other day. He's he's a very troubled guy. He also like had a lot of show in Oakland and then just like didn't show up.

And he sold like 20,000 tickets in like 2008 or something. Yeah. Again, he's not good. So we're waiting, man. When he's on stage, it's professional, Adam. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Also, that's what I'm talking about. And he also like got in a fight with a heckler and then just...

walked off stage and didn't come back. And the audience is like, there's like thousands of people that are like, well, just kick the heckler out. You could still perform. Right. So it's those things. I feel like that's a stance. I don't know. I would take to somebody at the live tour hit Kyle. You don't think Kyle would have definitely got in the car and on principle alone, I would have been the fuck out of there. I don't think he hit. It was like he got in an argument with the heckler.

It wasn't a fist fight. Yeah, but I mean, I get it, dude. If he's like, obviously, he's the guy who gets hot. When you have a bad day. Yeah, he gets too hot. He can't even handle his own thoughts, man. He's got to fucking go, dude. I get that. And you guys, I can't remember, Kyle, you and Kat know each other from? Nothing. Nothing, dude. Because I know where I met Kat. I know our deep roots, our relationship and where that stemmed from.

I'm just trying to be empathetic to the guy right now. You know what I mean? Sure. And I feel like I could see that I would do the same thing. Be like, fuck this. I'm fucking out of here. And then you're just like, at that point, it becomes a point of pride when you're like, fuck it. I already drew a line. Oops. I drew a line. My bad. Oh, boy. But as a professional, Kyle, you have to go. You kick the guy who caused the trouble out. Yeah.

And I have a job to do because these 5,000 people or however many people were at that show are here to see me perform. And I have to give them a show. What are you telling me that right now when I'm in Toronto chill as fuck, I get it. But right after I've drawn a line, like,

I don't know that I would see that in that moment. Adam, you know he did draw a line, right? I didn't know that a line was drawn. And I know how important lines are for Kyle. That's the scenario I'm concocting. And Blake froze, and that's what's happening. Yeah. Blake froze while doing a line of cocaine off his hand. He does look like he's doing a little snortle. He gone. I'm back. Oh.

He's back. Okay, sorry about that. Cat was at the door. I had to answer it real quick. I'm just saying, Cat, he's done a bunch of stuff like that, that that's the reason he fell off, and it's nobody else's fault except for his own, because I think he was saying he's been blacklisted from Hollywood, and Hollywood doesn't fuck with him.

And you're like, well, there's a reason. And he called Kevin Hart like a plant. Like they planted him there. It's like, well, Kevin Hart did it his way. You did it your way. And your way caused the studios not to like you because you wouldn't show up on time. I read that entirely wrong. I thought he was calling him like a plant. Like he has leaves. Oh,

Oh, shit. Yeah. Like, he always leaves was the play on words. I don't think you got it. Yeah, I might have gotten that one wrong. And that's my bad. I haven't listened to the interview. You might want to rewatch the three hours again. Yeah, check that out. I read the transcript because that's just how I digest. Wait, one other thing about Cat that I don't know if you guys knew this, but... Circumcised. Dude, my main takeaway is dude used to go by Cat in the Hat.

Yes, that is crazy. He did have a bit of a rebrand, didn't he? I did not know that. Like, what the fuck? I will say, when he goes, when he's like, when he was saying, like, Chris Tucker was getting nicknamed by Michael Jackson, he's like,

You ever let another person give you a nickname? I'm like, aren't you Cat? Yeah. Is it your name, Cat? You chose? Isn't your name Cat with two T's? Cat. Yeah. Yeah. What is his name? He was Cat in the Hat until he got a cease and desist from Disney.

That's like that's what he says. And then he had to change his name to Cat Williams. That's a multiverse right there. Like Catherine Williams. Well, I also don't think Cat in the Hat is owned by Disney. Isn't that? That's what I was thinking, too. And that's where I'm like, hold on a second. That's a Warner Brothers property, I believe. See, there's holes in the guy's story. Yeah. That's where I was like, wait a minute. You know what? I don't know if Cat Williams is exactly trustworthy. He might be spinning some yarn. And just to protect Weinstein for a second here.

Oh, God. Always. I just don't buy that story. You have to. Yeah. I mean, like, guy's a monster, but I don't know. Yep. I'm big on sarcasm in 2024. Sorry. Go ahead. That's huge. I love it.

So we're talking a lot about stand-up, we're being on tour, and we just got off the tour, guys. This is pretty exciting shit. I finally feel like I've recovered. How many pounds have you guys lost each? I'm sitting pretty much the same. Yeah, I'm kind of the same.

Kind of sticking to me a little bit. Those buzz balls aren't shedding. I think I dropped about five pounds, but I didn't gain any weight on tour, weirdly. Oh, okay. I gained all my weight prior to going on tour. Do you think you lost a lot of your beef muscle, dog? No, I don't think so. Your boobs are huge. Some beef muscle, dog. You know what I did do after tour? What? I stopped fucking drinking caffeine, dude. I was like, oh, yeah, the bitch. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, well, I got to do this. Cool, Kyle. Did you want to keep talking? Do you just want to say that or do you want to? Moving right along. I read a book. Moving right along. Okay. So, Kyle, how's that? Is it affecting your body? Yeah. I don't know. It's all right. Well, that's cool. I mean, I had surgery again, but yeah, you quit caffeine. Cool.

Sick. Yeah. I stopped it. Okay. So tell me about life without caffeine in two seconds or less. Okay. So how's it going? Did you get headaches? Did you have withdrawal? It's cool. But it's because, no, it's because I was leaning on it so hard. And then the day after Christmas, I fucking fainted. What? I fainted hard. I went down really fucking hard, dude. Yeah. Wee-hoo!

He is risen. Yeah. That's kind of crazy. Yeah, that's wild, dude. Are you, you know, how's your water intake? That's what everyone always says, dude. Yeah, I think it was due to dehydration because on that day I was like, well, I've had, I was going to get a double espresso. Okay. And before that I was like, well, I've already had four fucking cups of coffee and I don't remember having water. And so I...

So I was like, all right. Sorry, is coffee not hydrating? No, it's dehydrating. It dehydrates you. Oh, that's the diarrhea. Yeah. I leaned so hard on that shit on the tour that I was like, well, I got to put this in check. My body, I collapsed in front of my family.

And my... The bitchiest way to collapse. Dude. That is by far the bitchiest way. If you collapse in front of your children, they're never going to look at you the same. Yeah, they're like, oh. Your children are like, we're in charge now. Dude, it sucked so bad, dude. My five-year-old started crying. Well, yeah. My wife went into protector mode, and then my two-year-old was laughing hysterically. What does that mean? She started beating your kids away? What does that mean? She started kicking you? Yeah.

No, like, just, like, picking me up and trying to take me to the bed. Are you okay? Like, really concerned. She just suplexed you immediately. You just hear her say, oh, thank God. Finally. Kids, get in the car. We're doing it. The plan is in action. The plan is in action. Go, go.

Get your go bag. She picks up the phone. She's already on the phone with her lawyer. All right. So it looks like it's happened. Can we transfer the funds now? You can pick one. You can pick one. Lovey. Phase two. Phase two is initiated. So he did sign that life insurance clause. Correct. He knew a chunk. Go. Yeah. Yeah.

It was wild. Protector mode activated. Protector mode phase two. She went into protector mode or like just general common sense mode. Yeah, exactly. And then my daughter was laughing hysterically. She's two. She just thought it was the funniest shit. And I thought that was cool. You're doing ha-ha's, dude. He's the comedian.

Dude, she's fucking dark. She's got a dark sense of humor. I like that. I dug it. I dug it. That's cool. Regular. Well, that sucks, buddy. Yeah, definitely up your water intake. What I like to do is I like to double fist. You got some coffee and then, you know, chug a big ass glass of water. So, Kyle, because I know you, what have you replaced caffeine with? Yes.

Tea. It's a bagel. Okay. It's just tea, dude. And I still, I'm doing like- Sorry, tea has caffeine, right? No, no, not like herbal teas. Herbal teas doesn't have caffeine at all. Kyle, have you tried ZOA? Have you tried ZOA energy? Now we're talking. I'm trying to do that. And also, have you tried to unleash the beast? No.

Monster energy drinks, alcohol drink. That is strange. I mean, I hadn't had a Red Bull in fucking like five or ten years. And on the tour, I was sipping them.

during the shows oh yeah i was i was going i hammer him i know you do yeah is that why you almost fainted on stage i gotta you might want to get some blood work done playboy yeah i would get some blood work done because i drink i feel like at the same level of caffeine or probably more than you drink i did i got blood i got blood work done too okay ragu this dude's blood

Your blood is Pace Picante, bro. This dude's blood is Classico. Yeah, now I'm like all up on, I'm like, I got a nutritionist. I'm like going, I'm going deep, dude. This dude's blood type is Chef Boyardee. Well, I love that for you, Kyle. Hey, you know what? Come on. We haven't retired him yet. Let me get him.

We were going to retire the points, but they're still here today. Type Spaghetti-O. So we have a lot of, I mean, what would you guys say as far as tour goes? What was your favorite city? And why? Oh, wait. What is your favorite city and why go? Oh, that is a tough one. I'll go first. Okay. Well, I just know it was Chicago. That was just very cool for me to finally meet my parents.

That was cool seeing that. That was cool. Basically to have homies there and then to get them backstage after the show, hang out with you guys, drink some beers. Pizza, pizza. That was pretty rad. And the Chicago Theater was no joke. Oh, man. Beautiful. The Chicago Theater, that was our second stop on the tour. And that theater was so gorgeous. It had me a little shook. Was that so...

That's when you didn't talk for 15 minutes in the middle of the show. Well, that was the Malort. Yeah, you just slumped. My man was slumped. He was sick. There were other highlights, but just like in that context of like back home, sweet home Chicago, that was it for me. That was up the ante. And you guys going to my folks place and us getting some Buffalo Joes, that was really special. Brings a tear to my eye. That was very special. That was dope.

So dope. I loved it. Yeah, that was way fun. I mean, there's so many fun times on the tour. I wish I miss it already. Yeah, it was very fun. Pretty.

Pretty stoked to be home. How we just toured, I think I could do that forever. Really? I honestly think I could do that. Dude, there's no way I could have... I was like, no way. I can't do another flight. This is the way. Three days a week, just that. I feel like when we did, when we were gone for longer than that, when it ended up being five or six days, that was a little too much. But when it was like...

You fly out, you do two shows, you fly back home that following day. I feel like I could do that forever. It started. I'm on the same. Adam, I'm on the same tip. I feel like I could do that forever.

three times a year. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like pizza. I feel like with two, I feel like two months of that would have been the sweet spot. By that third month, I was like, we did it, right? We did it. You were feeling it. Third month, Ders was good. He was done. Toasted. I remember being in the airport and you're like, I'm not going to talk this weekend. I'm like, that's not going to be good. We need you to talk on the pod. And I did. I didn't cat Williams situation. I

No, you didn't. You little cat bastard. Yeah, I loved it. Besides the not being able to walk by the end of it and needing surgery because I fucked my shit up. I know. I'm like, did you remember? We all almost died. I was in so much pain. Yeah, you trooper did. And my hip, I didn't even tell you guys. So I got a new hip replacement.

not a new hip but another hip surgery on my left side last time I got the right side they found all the shit in there they thought it was just a torn labrum diarrhea they were like there's this is the cause of your diarrhea the cause of diarrhea what did they find in there

Well, yeah. My old keys. Micro machines from when I was a kid. Another stitch? Yeah. Fucking chicken rope? No, cartilage had broken free and was floating in my hip joint. And they're like, that's essentially like having sand in your hip, in your joint.

So wait, are you cured? Baby shark. Are you cured? Or is it like, did we find it? That's part of it. That's part of it. So we fixed that. And then essentially from that, they're like, you'll probably need a new hip in the next five years. So I'm like six, six. And so when they say new hip, does that mean that they like coat the

Because it's like a ball and socket, right? Yeah. So do they remove the top of the leg bone, the femur, or do they coat that in something? It's science. And then they coat the socket in something so you have... I believe it's like a full implant. I believe they take your hip out and put the new hip in. Right? Yeah. So the whole thing that holds the femur... I think so. I think so. I mean, I don't know. I have not... I was just told this and...

I'm going to put off researching it for four and a half more years. I've definitely had people in my lives that have got hip surgeries, but they're also old that when they talk about it, I do not listen. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like it's like you're too busy sexualizing them. Well, it's such an old person surgery. And so it really sucks because I'm doing a ton of physical therapy, you know, and so I'm doing a ton of physical therapy. Is that everyone there? Like I'll meet young people and they're like.

What are you in for thinking like knees or you hurt yourself playing basketball? And then I say hip.

And you see they lose respect for me in the moment. The face change. They go, yeah, no, we know you're hip, but what are you here for? And I'm going to go ahead and get in protective mode. Oh, wow. So it's saying, like, producer Anna just dropped in. It's not like they're not even taking out the whole hip. They're just replacing the damaged parts with ceramic, like fucking coffee cups, dude. That's what I'm saying. That's what I thought. But they take the damaged part out and then replace that new. Ceramics?

They just pulling your shit out the kiln? Can they do that to my brain? As far as surgeries go, like in one of your joints, hips are the best ones. The easiest to bounce back from. Once again, Adam Devine. Adam Devine doesn't fuck around. He wants the best. He does the best. I want the best and the easiest. Hey, the diesel train. Wait, on a real... Wait, just to circle back. Please. They went in and found...

baby shark cartilage, right? They did. Had they never been in there before? They'd only been in the other hip? They've only been in the other hip. And the other hip was just like there was an impingement and a torn labrum and they fixed the impingement and fixed the labrum. What is, Blake, just for people listening, impingement is... It's science. Science. Great.

Okay, so they'd never been in this other hire. I thought we were queuing up the board. You want me to give an educated guess to what impingement is? Yeah, Blake, please explain what impingement is. Wait, can you lead me? You couldn't guess what impingement is. I would guess that it's when nerves are being pinched and they're being impingement. Yeah.

Yeah, something's pinched. That's very true. Something's pinched. It's actually a little tiny breath mint that you pinch. It's an impingement. Impingement. You have a little bit of bad breath. Kyle, what do you think impingement means? It's like a smint, huh? What's up? Yes, thank you. An impingement. It's an impingement. It's an impingement. What do you think impingement is, Kyle? Impingement.

It's obviously some kind of an obstruction of sorts. Oh, good answer. Good answer. Points, points. Okay, well, essentially it is. It's when you're ball and socket, and it's supposed to be a perfect circle, and mine was shaped like an egg. So when it would get all the way out, it would catch on the...

socket so it would catch. And they were like, as long as you're not ever doing the jazz splits, you'll be fine. Totally. Totally, dude. And so then they shaved it down to make it a perfect ball so it can move around the joint properly. Okay.

So they did that to both hips and I'm moving around a lot better than I was those last handful of shows. I was like in New York, I was just a shell of a man. I would just get transported to the show. They'd shove me on stage. They'd roll you out. Place you in your sofa.

Yeah. Just let him rip. Give me my go juice. Here he goes again. That was I do wish that you were like, yeah, I'm moving better. And then like we hung out and saw you walk and it was like crazy. But we couldn't tell you. I just gallop everywhere I go. You look like a fucking giraffe with diarrhea. Just kind of like you look like something out of Dark Crystal. Yeah. You look like a gorilla when he's up on his hind legs.

Oh, yeah. They walk hella cool. Just my boys got a waddle. My boys got a waddle. Got that walk. They look good on you. Kyle, what do you think your favorite city, both maybe to perform in and hang out in? Yeah.

I think my favorite performance might have been San Antonio. I really liked that show. I thought it was fun. That's when I sang Selena and that was from back in the recesses of Deep Brain. Yeah, the Deep Brain and it was like

But also there was Columbus. What the fuck? I do not remember Columbus. What the hell happened there? That was when Kyle Gass was at that show. Oh, Chorglumbus. Yeah, whichever one. Yeah, Chorglumbus. I think I had the recliner at that show, and I really loved that. It was such a comfy show. It was nice. We also had just gone from...

Cleveland. Cleveland and did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oh, yeah. And I feel like that gave us a lot of fun ammo to talk about all the cool shit we had just seen. Good call, Adam. Good call. And I was... I really wanted the...

the like lit wing. I was like really confused that Puddle of Mud didn't have a wing there. Did we call ourselves Crow Nuts? I can't remember. Yeah. Young Crow Hards, dude. And it's been a while. We're Young Crow Hards. Sheryl Crow, man. I mean, she doesn't get the love and respect that she deserves. Yeah. Young Sheryl Crow. Woo!

She's a hottie. Yeah, dude, it's out of control. But she just did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I think she just got inducted or at least she performed at the thing that was on TV the other night. Good for her. Well, I mean, they sure had a spread for her already at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They did. Yeah. So it was crazy. She must have been inducted before. Yeah, I hope so. Or they knew that she was going to get inducted. So they're like, hey, let's let's make sure the young Crowhards have something to look at. Let's grab her bell bottoms. Yeah. Her little lace up leather bell bottoms. Let's get those little bell bombs on.

It was wild to see you would see like a piece of clothing and it transported you right back to watching those videos in the late 90s. Yeah. Early 2000s. Like I saw the red fedora and I go, that's Kid Rock's red fedora. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Instantly transported. Yeah. And I think I was sitting next to Durs and you were like, how do you know that? And I was like, I don't know.

I just know. And then sure enough, it was. Yeah. It just took over your body like a badass. You understand? All of a sudden, Adam's eyes rolled in the back of his head and he's like, Kid Rock's presence is near. I'm sensing Kid Rock. Bah, what's a bah? I am an American badass. You understand? The internet.

The illegitimate son of man. Was Columbus in the Mason jar? Yes. Was it in the Freemason place? Oh, yeah. That place has some tunnels underneath, I bet. No, that was Cleveland. Where was that, Adam? That was Cleveland. That was Cleveland? That was the one right before. Okay. Columbus was the one that we had the tiny dressing room and the elevator. It was like...

four stories up the dressing room and then I kept taking the shitty elevator up and down I'm like I'm gonna die in here and then gas came Ryan gas came and kicked it with us Kyle gas and his son Ryan a lot of people don't know yet I think I went to high school with a Ryan gas actually he might have been there and I hated to correct you it was your friend from high school there

That's my bad. Yeah, those were great shows. Those were really fun shows. Those were. Yeah, go ahead, Blake.

I had two, but I would have to say, I mean, Seattle was fucking fun as fuck. Oh, Seattle, dude. That was Halloween, and we all had the costumes, and it was just a blast. And, dude, and also, like, our old friends from, like, way back in the day that we haven't seen in probably, like, legit 15 years came out. And it's cool to connect with people that there was a girl friend group that we knew that none of us had ever hooked up. There was no, like...

mixing like that. It was just like they were a fun group of girls to go hang out and party with when we were in our early 20s. And not that I didn't want to. They just they just were interested. But it was cool to see them like we were such good friends back then. And then they moved away and we hadn't seen each other in 15 years to reconnect. It was fucking awesome. Yeah, I went right back to just being drunk around him. It was fun.

Oh, yeah. Didn't miss a beat. Christy, Allison. Yeah. We saw Mary in Cleveland. Yep. Yep. Very. It's a party. After Seattle, that's when I tried LSD with Blake. Oh, yeah. And that shit was kind of tight. This guy quit caffeine, but he's on that LSD. Yeah.

Gave up caffeine and alcohol. He's like, yeah, I have a nutritionist. Eat really healthy. Yeah. Did a lot of acid on the tour. Yeah. It was like in the form of a spray. It was a spray. It was like a little. Oh, it's a spray. Oh, then a spray. Okay. Yeah.

No, I'm just saying. I mean, I'm not justifying it or anything. It was LSD, baby. And it was nice. I liked it. It was fun. Hey, did you go on a little ride with that? Or what was the deal? It kicked in a little late for me. Yeah, it started to hit me day two. So did you go to bed? Were you able to go to sleep or late? That's my trouble with doing drugs. When

When you're out, you're like, well, I'm going to want to go to bed at about 3 a.m. I don't want to stay up at 6 a.m. and look at my bedspread and be like... No, I was able to sleep. Blake, you were able to sleep, right? I can't remember, but... Blake's like, I slept upside down in my closet, but I slept. I woke up hanging from my ankles. It was weird, dude. This dude thought he was Michael Keaton. I just remember that...

Yeah, the next morning I went and played pickleball and that shit fucking looked cool, dude. Like, I saw the angles. I saw the matrix. You think you played pickleball that morning? Yeah. This dude was in the hotel lobby with a clipboard like, yeah! Just leave him alone. He'll be fine. He'll find his way. Sir, those are apples to be eaten. Welcome back to the Doubletree. Hello.

Kansas City was rowdy, dude. They were so freaking hyped in Kansas City. Yeah, I was about to say that. That crowd was fucking nuts, dude. That was a good one. My parents went to both shows, and my dad was like, he blamed us. He was like, you guys really brought it in Kansas City. Would you phone it in in Omaha? Those are our last two shows. That actually sounded like your dad there. We're doing live!

And I go, I mean, no, we weren't phoning it in. It's the podcast was just us talking like, you know, we had it. It's always phoned in, Dad. Yeah, it's always phoned in. Do you know what his because I can never tell if we're phoning it in or not. No.

Well, right now we are. Yeah. Well, yeah. Right now we are. This is a phone. What's his metric? Why did he as an audience member think that we were phoning it in? I think it was because the Omaha audience were a great audience. They did. They were fantastic. Right. But they didn't. They weren't as rowdy.

I think they were respectful. They were like actually very excited and were just a more respectful crowd, which some crowds are more respectful. Chicago was like that. Chicago was not uproarious, but they were big. And yeah, we sold a lot of tickets like Omaha. We were packed to the fucking brim. There was 3000 people there. It was wild. Dude, I saw a person standing in the aisle. Yeah, that was wild, dude. Without a seat. Yeah.

And I just feel like they're just a more courteous crowd. When Kansas City was just debaucherous. They had a great word, by the way. They were. Unbelievable. I mean, dude, Kansas City out of control. Omaha, very courteous.

Yes. And Kansas City, debaucherous. Debauchery. I mean, a lot of people got fucked up. And then we went and partied with my family afterwards. And I mean, my aunt Patty. I bellied up with Patty.

Aunt Patty is a fucking legend. Yeah, just fucking pounding shots Aunt Patty style. Loved it. I was wrestling with your uncle on the dance floor. Dude, I thought he was going to fucking kick your ass, bro. Uncle Matt throwing it down. Aunt Cindy was there. Aunt Julie. Aunt Julie, who you rarely see throw down, was going for it. That was a blast. She punched me in the face. Yeah.

She beat up Dervs. What the hell? No, I caught it in my mouth, though. But technically, that is the face. I feel for me, I think it was fairly early on. It was that Phoenix show I just thought was wild. The celebrity theater show where it's in the round and the farthest seat away in that theater is like 70 feet.

which is not very far. Yeah. And so it felt like they were just right on top of you. And, you know, there's 2,500 people there and they were wild and crazy. They were like trying to climb on the stage and shit. Yeah.

Yeah, that was the only show where I was like, I think we're not going to be alone on stage by the end of this. Right. It was way wild, which was just really fun. I was like, damn, this is, it was like herding cats. Yeah, that one was off the chain. Herding cats, I'm in. Hurting? Oh, herding. Herding, yeah, not for me. Different thing, different thing. So it was like ripping cats in half. Yeah.

I thought you were talking about like bending their legs this way. And I was like, where are we doing it? And then you, I miss, I misunderstood. That's hurting. It was hurting, bro. Hurting. Wait, real, real quick Seattle thing. No, I was just back home. Your dick. And what?

What the fuck? He's dicking that Chucky costume. Come on. We're all thinking it. Okay, sure. Okay. We're all thinking it. I was like, good memory, dude. Oh, yeah. It got me going. 69, dudes! I can't forget that. I see it when I close my eyes. Apparently. Terz is circling back for that. Looks like you got a hand grenade down there, bro. What the hell? Is that a good shape?

It's like a Cornish game hand. Hand? You said hand. It's like a Cornish game's hand. Hand. All right. Killing it. Think of two more things that I don't think work. And just let me tell this story real quick. I was at home. Water balloon? And my mom had like these pictures out on like a table that she was like going through because they're like trying to move soon or whatever. And there was a picture of her and my brothers and my dad.

at the like what is the fish market right there yeah like standing at the bottom of those they were like a cousin's wedding and i was at a swim meet or some shit and they were standing at the bottom of those stairs to the restaurant that we went and ate at oh uh what was that place oh what was it called matt's my matt's mike's what yeah but this picture is from like fucking that's a pikes 15 20 years ago matt's at the market i believe oh yeah yeah yeah and i was like dude i was

just there a few weeks ago. That's crazy. Like standing right there. That's awesome. I love that city. It was just weird. It was just like a fucking weird thing. Yeah. It is weird. And we had really good weather. The whole trip was fucking cool. It's cool to see all the cities. Yeah, man. The LSD rocked, bro. I feel Austin was the shit. Austin was the shit.

Austin. Austin was the shit. Yeah. Yes. Texas had me scared when I was smoking weed behind after the... Texas had me scared. There were a couple places where I'm like, where am I? Is this... Are you... That was the LSD. Yeah, that was all the LSD you're on. You finally kicked in. You were fine, Kyle. I know, but people backstage would be like, oh, oh, oh, you got to put it out. I'm like, what the fuck state am I in where you can't smoke weed when...

Texas. Yeah, you're in Texas. Are you asking me? I didn't know where I was. And I didn't like that part. You knew where you were because you flew there. We all traveled there together. You knew where you were. It was Texas. I didn't like that part. Cowboy hats. Cowboy boots. I think that Texas road was probably my favorite because we

drove from I mean dude just the driving was the most fun because then you stop at a weird truck stop or weird gas station we all get out we you know Czechoslovakian can we talk Waco surf Waco surf was awesome I mean that was a very that was a highlight that was fucking sick I'm not even a good surfer so we stopped at Waco surf and

And it was planned, but Waco Surf is like one of the... I think they said there's two or three in the whole country where they have these like... Man-made waves. Man-made waves, and they are perfect. And they can give you like a hundred different types of waves. And they gave us like, you know, you guys are beginners here. This will get you up. And sure enough...

we could all get up. Barely. They said we broke some sort of record. Yeah, they said we were the greatest. It was cool seeing the guys right after us. They were like, we get out, and we're like, oh, right, we actually did it. Ow!

And then they're like, wow, good job, guys. Wow, man. Way to go. All right. We're up next. And then they turn on the music and it was suddenly like. You're shredding. Yeah. And they're just ripping it up. I know. I wish we would have had a playlist.

I think it would have been cool. They turned up the waves to 11. I think one of those guys was either a pro or a semi-pro, and then those were like his homies. They were crazy. They were absolutely gnar with it. There was that dude out there just in like a Texas flag Speedo and a cowboy hat, and neither of them were coming off as he shredded the waves. Yeah, how's that work? Crazy. Wait, what's...

Which one did you want to come off? I was like, do you think the Speedo should come off somehow? I was watching. I was waiting. This dude's just fucking rubbing his hands on the shoreline like, I bet one of them comes off. One of them is going to come off. Anybody want to make a bet?

Anybody want to make a bet which one I can get off first? Oh, boy. If those aren't coming off, I'm coming. Look at that boy's hand grenade right there. He's got a hand grenade and a water balloon. Is that a boxing glove in his pants or is he just happy to see me? Is that a longhorn in his pants? Cornish green hand.

So what are your memories from the tour, Blake? Your dick in the costume, the one guy in the Speedo. Speedo, his dick. Whose other dick? Whose other dicks? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? It was always the next morning. You talk to Isaac the next morning and he'd

I'd be like, oh, yeah, well, you know, we left the bar, went home. And he's like, yeah. And then Blake wouldn't leave my hotel room. I'm like, what? He's like, yeah, it was like 4 a.m. And Blake was just like drinking all my beers. What Blake would do most nights would go. Well, I want to see him. I want to see him change into his pajamas. We'd go back to the hotel. We would go to bed.

Blake would then follow Isaac to his room, drink all of his beers, and then fall asleep on his floor. And Isaac had to be like, yo, you have to go to your room. You have to go to your room. I don't like you guys telling me to show my tits. I just like the guy. He's my late night captain. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's tour life, baby. I'm just trying to make the nights last as long as possible. I love that. He likes sunrises. But you've got to get up the next morning, dude. Yeah, I drank in your room a couple nights. Yeah, it was fun. Like in New York, when we were all drinking, I think, in your room, and then the next day we had...

press to go do, much like Cat Williams. Now you get it. And then you didn't show up and we're like, where's Blake? And then you called and then you were mad at us. I give him a call. You're like, well, why didn't you? No, he was mad at you. He was mad at you. Yeah. Then we went out to lunch after we went and did press. Me and Blake went out to eat in New York and he goes, why didn't you set an alarm for me? We were all drinking in my room. Why didn't you make sure

why didn't you take my phone and put it was even just like why didn't you tell me what time we were getting up and it's like you have all the information i'm like you know you knew what and he's like well you were you saw how drunk i was last night why didn't you like make sure that i was i'd get up i'm like it's insane it's not my fault this is not on me no this is not on me

This is 40, bud. Yeah, man. You got to set alarms. You want to be on the leash or off the leash? Come on. Hey, I made it to the press. I did it. All right. I was just a little. Yeah, but I called you like three times from the lobby, dude. It sounds like Blake's tone got real for a second.

I was testing you guys. Well, I guess Blake is. He's Cat Williams, dude, which, by the way, we all respect you, dude. We all love you. You're going to make a dope podcast. I'm going to talk shit about it. We got you a coffee, remember? You did, and I appreciate that. Yeah, we took care of you, bro. We had your back. Don't yell at us. Getting me coffee is kind of trying to kill me. Well, I got him the coffee. I got him the coffee. I was with you. It was my idea, remember? It was your idea. You paid for the coffee. You did. You like to pay for things, and I think that's cool about you, bro.

Is that how you make up for stuff? You buy your apologies? I buy. I like that. It's a love language. I think it's cool. Yeah, gifts. I was just doing a nice thing for Blake. Thank you, Adam. My idea. So then we go to Austin, Texas, and Austin was radical. We had a great time in Austin. I don't remember Austin. You don't remember going to that dope dinner? Jeffrey's? Oh, yeah. That was delicious. That was very good. That was good. The bread. The bread. Oh, my God. The bread. If you're in.

If you're in Austin, you gotta go to Jeffries. I'm not trying to sound like a simpleton, but the bread was off the chest. Oh, yeah. I remember. What were they? They were turnovers. Oh, yeah. The bread. They were turnovers.

I believe they, or popovers? What the fuck were they called? Yeah, popover, I believe. Something, but they were delicious. It's something. Toasty! It's bread. Yeah, that place was dope. That was good. It was yum yum. Yum yum, we liked that. That was yum yum. Yeah, and that was essentially, that's tour, man. And then it was, uh. That was it. Sorry, every other city. Sorry if we forget your city. Yeah, we do too. Okay, top three, top three worst cities. Go. Huh.

Well, I didn't like that Dallas didn't let us throw out buzz balls. I will say that. And the same goes for San Diego. That was the other thing about Texas. They would not let us throw buzzies. That was too many rules, bro. I think there was only one or two places that wouldn't let us throw out buzz balls. Every place after we threw out buzz balls was pretty butthurt that we threw out the buzz. Well, yeah, it caused our audience to throw up.

To be fair, I definitely hit a speaker full on and it exploded. Yeah, and the audience members were throwing up in the aisles and it was a problem. Yeah, we were pretty sloppy. But even the cities that weren't the most fun cities to go to, our fans showed up in those cities and were wild and it was so much fun. And big shout out to everyone that...

Got a ticket and came out. It was so fun to see everybody you guys really made us feel like rock stars man Which was which was fun? And the repeat offenders we have people coming to multiple shows why that was wild that was sick It was like it's like we were the fucking dead man. Oh the freakin Grateful dead, I'll tell you we're grateful and for that we're grateful and we are very grateful and

And Kyle does LSD, so we're not that far off. No. Dude, I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at LSD. And I eat Cherry Garcia constantly. Fuck it! Or shrooms. There were shrooms everywhere. That was pretty cool. Portland was full of shrooms. That was great. We also were given literal duffel bags full of weed in multiple cities. Yeah, we got to reach out to your brother, Kyle, because he's got my weed. Any California show that we did was absolutely wild.

Yeah, Adam knew a check. He took all of our weed and he was like, don't worry, I'll get it to you guys. I'll drive it down and I'll hook you guys up.

Radio silence. Allegedly. Radio silence since he took four duffel bags full of weed home. Can't reach him. Yeah, well, the bro's pretty smart. You know what I mean? Yeah. I bet he's a popular guy. He's a new check. That's for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got. I know that he's got a freezer full of mushrooms, dude. That bro is. He's going. Oh, so you've become a little mushroom head? Mushrooms rock, dude. Mushrooms are the best. Yeah.

I didn't say they're not. That's a family. That's what our family says. Adam doesn't say they don't. That's your family crest. I like mushrooms. That's great. I bet I've done more mushrooms than you have. Oh, shit, dude. I've been getting after it lately, but maybe. Okay. There's ways to catch up. I dig it. Damn, dog. Oh, yeah, dude. Okay, that's a cool bet, bro. Well, there's no way to prove it, but from 16 to about 22, I took... Name all the times. I took... I mean, I probably did an eighth of mushrooms.

two to three dozen times. Right. Well, yeah. Okay, yeah. Your quantity is up because I'm a micro-deuce. Feet micro-deuce. Okay. You are a little shit. I'm a micro-deuce, bro. You are a micro-deuce, bro. Yeah, a deuce and micro. But to me, I get it because doing a little bit of mushrooms is fun and you're just a little giggly and stuff, but don't you ever just want to trip? But Adam likes to go dark. I don't go dark. I go, I mean, I'm on a different planet, but...

but that to me is the point of doing mushrooms. You want to go see what Mars is like, you know? You're a monster. Yeah, I'm like... That's new. I don't really want to dive in super hard. I just like to dabble. I like to fucking micro-do. Have you ever actually tripped on mushrooms? No, I just do the little trips. I just do the little baby trips. That's it. I just kind of live my life on mushrooms, you know what I mean? Which

which I like it. Pizza, pizza. I guess that's, that's the response, a responsible thing because imagine you're high as a kite and then you faint. Yeah.

You collapse. And then you have to go in protector mode. You're sitting by the pool with your children. I know exactly what you're talking about. Then you suddenly have to go in protector mode for some reason and you're just high as a kite. And then your family just looks at you and it's just you hugging a cactus in your backyard. And your family's like, oh, he went in protector mode. Oh, dear. Oh, God. Kids, grab your go bags. This is it. The plan's in effect.

Have fun.

And then we look in and there's a pit of animal bones. And we're like, oh, this is where Bobcats or whatever fucking...

cats big cats are out in Joshua Tree and we freak out we're like this is their home this is like the end of the gray when he's with all those caves and they come out all the wolves come out and murder Liam and he puts the like little alcohol bottles between his knuckles right

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's sick. But then we're like, we're like, oh, shit, we're in the middle of these caves. There's probably bobcats or whatever in these caves right here. And we're like, we got to get out of here. And we get out and we run for what we think is forever. And then we sit down and relax. And we're like, oh, man, that was life or death. We could have fucking died right then. That was wild. The next day we woke up and saw how far we ran. It was like 30 feet.

We ran. I mean, maybe 30 yards, 30 yards. It was like. So you guys slept outside under like just under the stars? No, we were just out like all night. Oh, then you went back to investigate the scene of the crime. And then the next morning we woke up and then like went back to see like where we went. And we were like, oh, this is where we sat. And those are the caves. We ran like maybe 30 yards.

Right. And then you go in and you look at the bones and there's fucking KFC bucket right by it. You're like, oh shit. Dude, we, did we order, you check your Uber Eats? Yeah, we got KFC. Fuck, it was us all along. We're the wolves, man. Oh, fuck.

Love that chicken and pot pies. I ate the bones. I ate the bones. Oh, no. I ate the bones again. That would be a great thing to get super fucking high and just eat the bones. Yeah, dude. I dare you to eat the bones. It's in the commercial. Just for the bit. Just for the bit. I ate the bones. No, he really did. He really did. Try it. You're going to like it. Oh, shrooms.

Well, have you guys ever done? You guys haven't, right? What? Mushrooms. Have you ever tripped on mushrooms? Yeah. No, sir. I don't like it.

Yeah. I'd like to do it more. It'd be cool to go to the desert with you guys and really get after it. You know what would be actually very... Actually? Not what you said? Yeah. Not me. You know what would actually be really fun? But what would be fun would be to take my boat. We go to Catalina. We camp in Catalina and we do mushrooms...

that night wouldn't that be fun dude i'm in i love that idea can i ask you a question i'm about to have a child in a month what makes that actually but what makes doing it at catalina outstanding just because you're on an island away from everything the the nature there's extra cool it's extra when you look up at the stars there there's the light pollution's a lot better because you're yeah yeah way out there nice it has its perks that has its perks

They also have buffalo. It's wild. You know, the weird thing, I've never done shrooms, buffalo wings. I've never done shrooms, but it's mostly, this is how like of a child I am because I just don't like the taste of mushrooms. Yeah, but they got them in gummies. Like when we came back on the train from San Diego, that's when I was just like popping them because I was hungry. Yeah, you could get them on chocolates and stuff. Don't you still taste the mushroom? Like I don't even like, what's the fancy mushroom that you get on like pasta? Shiitake.

No, no, no. Like truffle? Truffle. Like truffles gross to me. I don't like truffles. I don't like truffle either. I'm not a fan either. People went overboard with the truffle in the truffle era. Yeah, it's too much. But you're not. These things, these gummies don't even taste like mushrooms, dude. People always tell you how gross mushroom is.

It's not that bad. You just fucking... I'm not talking about mushrooms like psychedelic. I'm talking about regular ass mushrooms on a pizza. I'm like... The talkie. Oh, yeah. But also, those are slimy. These are just dry. It's like eating beef jerky that gets you fucked up kind of. It's good. But just eat the ones in the fucking gummies. They taste so yummy.

There's that too. Yeah. We're past all of that shit. There's also now you can get it in chocolate. I'm sure your brother has mine, but yeah. Yeah, he probably has. Yeah. In San Diego, we got a ton, I remember. And it was like. Must be nice. Ask your brother. He's already sold them.

back to a dispensary. Just bags on bags. Well, they're fucking legal up here. I think they're legal or they're close to legal up here in Toronto. Like close to legal. Because you know how like weed was like semi-legal for a little bit? I think it's in that era. I don't... Where it's like, it's medicinal. And they're like, for what? And they're like, we don't know. We just...

- We just are trying to get fucked up and we have to say it's medicinal. - Yeah. - Five months, they're gonna just bust every store that sells it. There's gonna be raids. - Yeah, take all their cash. - Yeah. - Exactly, exactly. - We know what they're doing out there. - The good old days. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Blake, it's really cool to see the side of you, Blake. - Thanks, man. I'm getting super political this year, definitely. - Yeah, polychar. - New Year's resolution. - Pocha. - To tap in. - Oh, good. - My resolution is to vote.

Okay. Yeah. You've never done that? Not yet, man. It sounds fun. Oh, wow. Honestly, this is like to start now. Worst idea. Back in the day when it was kind of fun and cool and nobody gave a fuck. Now it's like, yeah, but who'd you vote for? Just so I know if you can come in my house or not. Yeah. Right. Right. And who did you vote for for city council?

You actually have to care about shit. Now that we're old, we have to go home. Who's running the neighborhood? It sucks, dude. It sucks caring about stuff. Yeah, it sucks. It's the worst. 40 fucking blows. My body's falling apart. So you are going to vote, Blake? You are? That's the plan? Yeah, I think I am. I watched the Iowa caucus last night, but I thought it was something else, but I did watch it. And we're back!

I thought I was tuning into something else. You're like, is this the movie Dave? I thought I was watching This Ain't Dave, but I guess not. This Ain't Dave. It's just people fucking a dead body. Wasn't Dave the movie where he's the president and he's like a lookalike for the president? Yeah. There's a lot of really good presidential movies. That's one of them. First Kid is another.

Sinbad I want the Sinbad interview on Shay Shay I was watching after Cat I was like I gotta watch some Sinbad

Nice. It's unbelievable how funny he is about everything. Yeah, he's underrated. It's crazy. I think he's been kind of lost to the 90s and it kind of sucks. Yes. It's because he didn't keep it going. But I think he's had a lot of health issues. He did. He passed away, but yes. No, Sinbad's not dead. Yes, he is. What? What?

I don't know if Sinbad's dead or not. I don't think Sinbad is dead. No, I don't think he is either. I'm going to default to Durr's on this one. I can neither confirm nor deny. I remember there was a scare. No, he is still alive. Sinbad is 67 years old, still alive. He's still alive. Okay, Durr's, you fucked me. God.

You fucked me. No, very much alive. But I think he's had some health issues. I think he just had a stroke not too long ago. He had something going on like a few years ago, right? But he's still alive. He's still one of our best. If you haven't watched any of his movies or stand-up,

tap in because the guy is a comedy god. Yeah, so he just announced that he is recovering from a stroke. He had it in 2020, which I thought he had some other stuff before that, but maybe not. I don't know. He was on Sonny. Yeah, he was. He was. He did a great job. They got him. I remember when he was on there, I was like...

Eric Griffin. Eric Griffin. We got Eric Griffin. We got Eric Griffin. I guess he's had a lot of tax issues. He owed like $2.5 million in personal income tax. He had a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Wait, I thought that was Chapter 11. He had to sell like a 2.5 acre hilltop home. No, he was Chapter 7, dude. What's Chapter 7? It's funnier. It's funnier. It's funnier.

All right, all right. I don't know the chapters of bankruptcy. Chapter 11 is bankruptcy. I don't know what chapter 7 is. What's chapter 2? You never hear about that. Well, it's another. It says file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. That is a...

The liquidation under the bankruptcy laws of the U.S. in contrast to bankruptcy under Chapter 11, Chapter 13, which governs the process of reorganization of debt. Oh. And this is why I'm voting. So this is a liquidation, not a reorganization. We're liquefying this bitch. Right, right. Okay. There's a whole book with chapters, I guess, on bankruptcy. And this happened right before he died? Durs. He's not dead, you son of a bitch. Very much alive. Very alive.

But if Sinbad can like fall to the tax man, we're all right there. We all got to make sure we keep our taxes fully paid up. Absolutely. Don't come for me, baby. That's our message for 2024. That's what we're going to leave you with. Vote and pay your taxes. Yeah, man. We've changed. I like this new pod. Yeah.

This is 40. No points. Welcome to This Is Tax Talk. Brought to you by TurboTax. Dude, I would love if we're just sponsored by TurboTax. We just do TurboTax commercials now. We do little TurboTax bits. They're at the age that they do taxes and they care about taxes. Let's talk about stocks. I don't like that shit. None of us would know what the fuck we're talking about.

The Dow? The thing about the Dow? It goes up and down. More like the down, am I right? I'm jonesing for some Dow. How you like me Dow? It's like my NASDAQ. Oh, shit. Your deck is NASDAQ. My dick is fully NASDAQ. My dick is NASDAQ.

Any takebacks, apologies, any epic slams, any big giveaways? Kyle, you're in the shadows over there, literally and figuratively. Oh, yeah, baby. We are here doing that final season. Let me do a quick takeback. I want to take back that I said Sinbad was dead. I feel like I also might have some, like, RIP tweets out there then. Yeah.

Yeah, you might want to scan your socials real quick. You've been giving him flowers for years. I also think I cried for weeks, so take backs. Yeah, shit. Take back the tears. Take the tears back. Showed emotion. God, he's funny. But yeah, I urge people to just, it's on, I think I watched it on Netflix. It's out there. Just please go watch his specials. They are unbelievably funny. They're very good. They're very, very good. His thing was like he would also improv a lot of it.

Oh, really? Yes. He was known for just going wildly off the cuff for like 20 minutes at a time. Wow. And then Miranda-ing his way back to his material. Reading the Miranda rights. And then just going off. Those are his Miranda rights. Yeah, his Miranda rights. I like that. Really?

Let's see. Special epic slams. What else is it? Compliments, take backs. Did you pull any cat quotes for the board? I'm still working on that. Oh, okay. Oh, this was like a week ago. Still working, yeah. Didn't think about the podcast even a little bit. I didn't know if the board was still a thing or if we were cutting the board. Oh, yeah. The board's a thing. The board's a thing. We need the board.

I think, hey, fans, please let us know which drops were retiring. Yeah, it's a good one. Which ones that you would like to keep. And maybe we go through the board real quick just as a refresher. I just heard a new one. I got to take a piss. So if you want to go through the board, I'm going to go take a piss. Go take a piss, go. You're a monster. Yeah, we got that. We got a new. Poop dollar. That's great. That was Kelsey. We got that one. Oh, this one from Ders.

You need another four inches. That one's going to hit. I was watching this fucking commercial where this lady, she's like really good about like fitting things into spaces. And she pulls up to a guy in the parking lot who's trying to like fit a TV in his car. And she goes, you're going to need another four inches. And I was like, pause.

You need another four inches. Rewound it. I was like, this needs to be on there. Well, you know the marketing guy who wrote that line was like, oh, God, I hope they keep this. He goes, this is going to end up on TII. That one's pretty good. What was that? Well, Blake, don't show the new one. Show the old one so we know. Dude, there's so many, Adam. There's tons. You want me to go through some heavy hitters? Yeah, hell yeah. It's the base. Okie dokie.

Oh my God. Thank you, God. Wow, dude. Yes, sir. I love it. I'm sorry. They're all pretty good. That's just one pad. I have eight of them. I mean, those are hits. Those are hits. Well, I think you chose the hits. Choose some that you think maybe people don't like.

Dude, they're- oh, they all rock! Just take us- You're a stupid dumbass. Bully! Shut up, bitch! Oh yeah, the bitch! They're good! Good, good, good. It's a bagel. Who cares? Goodbye. Allegedly! Hold up. Fuck, it's too good. Dude, I'm telling you, they're all good. Wait, we're gonna find some bad ones, please. Yeah, keep going, keep going. Hot, hot, hot, hot! Yeah?

Classic. All right. Classic. 69, dudes. Very shagadelic. Either you have diarrhea or you don't. Yeah. I'm so fucking hungry. Say it. Oposal. Dude, they're all bangers, dude. That was the linchpin that keeps the pod going. There's got to be some.

There's got to be something that aren't good. There's got to be something that aren't good. I don't need that one. I'll say that. All right, that one might be able to do it. That's on the block. Just because it's a little messy. Yeah, it's just a little messy. All right. Got a lot of white noise in there. I'm your friend. Not too good. Do you love him? I'm a dude. Yeah. Please don't stop the music. That's a new one. Okay. See ya.

I just want to purge. Oh, here we go. Maybe. Those drugs make me cool. That could be on the block. Maybe. That could be on the block. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. That could be on the block. That's pretty good, though. Come on. Yeah, you can't do it without one. That one was good. I love that one. I love that one. What about. We can go viral with this one. Don't eat it. That one, I don't think you ever used that one. Oh, it.

Or this one. I am so glad that I'm able to control my penis now. Yeah, that one's great. Yeah, but it's long. It's long. Yeah, but oof. It gives us time to take a sip of our drink. Adam, you got to remember, these are not just...

These are tools. Maybe I take it back and we keep everything and just keep adding on. There's got to be more. Let's save a little bit for the next pod. Let's draw. We found two. As Kyle said earlier...

I drew the line. There you go. You draw a line. Absolutely. I can't go back. What does that mean again? Exactly. Dude, I drew a line. Yeah, you draw a line, man. Once the line is drawn, you fucking can't step over it. You can't. The line's already drawn. You can't change it. Yeah, the line's drawn. All right.

There's a lot. Okay. So I would like to give compliments to you guys for a hell of a tour. Making it to the very end of the year. Ending strong in Omaha. Shout out to you guys. Shout out to

All the fans that came out to TII Nation showing us love and support. And we love doing it. We love doing the podcast. It was a blast. And man, what a ride that was. And if you hated listening to the pod while we were doing it live, we're back here in-house. It's different. Hey, we're back. Here we are. Different to me. You can see our faces again. Stop crying about it. Jesus Christ. I also would love to cherry pick just a handful of dates.

And next year.

And still do it, but like as Ders said, not a whole tour because now we're back. The strike's over. We're all getting back to work. We're going to be doing things. But just going like, hey, maybe we're going to Vegas for a weekend. The ripping and the tearing. The Cat Williams in me just, I don't know if I can be professional that long. That's all. Yeah, that's right. You know me. I started turning into a little Cat Williams. Yeah, he was getting a little cat. He's a catatonic. Right at the end. Catatonic. That's very funny.

Yes, points. Yeah, the claws came out for Durs towards the end, so he got a little cat in him. He's our little cat daddy. I think New York exhausted me. I was doing all the press and shit during the day and then going at night. That's true. You had to get your Godzilla on. Yeah. Hey, keep watching. Keep watching Monarch. We got one more episode. Monarch, Legacy of Monsters. Yeah, baby. My boy looking awesome.

Real good. That's the sexiest I've ever seen Durs was shooting that show. I will say that if anyone puts a bunch of rope around your shoulder, you're hotter. You look better. It's just automatic. That is true. Fact. I've got a thing for guys with lassoes. Fact.

That's been established. Was that another episode? That was another episode of This is Importance. I got to think of guys with blassos.
