Welcome to This is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature.

Today we talk about... How else do you get immune to the cobra's venom if you don't take a little bit at a time? You know what I'm saying, brother? He rode a bike so hard he had to get his fucking taint ripped open. I am saying that I am wrong, and if you are a fan of the pod, do not think like me, okay? Thank you, bye. Well, sure, for sure. Alcohol is poison, but also it's dope poison. I don't know.

Here we go. Start your engines.

Punk rock, getting radical. Punk rock. A lot of technical difficulties on my end. My bad. My B, guys. A lot of wikiwawa. It wasn't as wikiwawa as I wanted it to be, the start of the show. I came in, I had a lot of energy, and it just kind of drained me, all the technical difficulties. I saw Blake in those cool sunglasses. Hi. I'm sorry. My B. Yay!

You need a tech boy, dude. You need to get your tech boy on, man. You're sounding great now. It's crispy. Well, you're the tech boy. That's who you were. I know. I'm getting back into it. I'm getting back into it. Yeah, you didn't chime in at all. You kind of let Todd do all the work. There was no... Nah, too many cooks in the kitchen. You know what I mean? That was... That does make sense. I know when to hold him and when to fold him, as Kenny Rogers once sang. Yeah. Okay.

Kenny Rogers. And if you're listening now, you don't know that Kyle got a haircut. Yeah. This is big time. This is big time. You're a monster.

What happened? He looks fucking, as Adam says, he looks cute. That's not just pulled back in an epic pwn. You don't got a ponytail? No, no. This is all gone, baby. Yeah, let's see. Take the headphones off. Really model this thing for us. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. Get your nada surf on. It's kind of, I like this. This is a nice length. You didn't go too short. Yeah.

Too short. I didn't even think about that. I was going to buzz it and I asked my wife to cut it and thankfully she picked the perfect length. No, tell me

Yeah, because you can still hide the forehead, you know? She's good at picking the perfect length, okay? She said, you need to cut it. You can still comb it forward, hide whatever amount of forehead you want to hide. You know, you can... Yeah. Yeah, thanks, guys. No, I appreciate it. I actually like it. I feel really... Empowered? Yes. I feel better. I feel better without all that hair. Really? But we're telling you how we feel about it, okay? Yeah. Like, in a major way, I feel way better. I'm just chiming in. Ooh.

And why was the long hair dragging you down? Yeah, what happened? For all the long haired out there that are now in their late 30s, early 40s. Falling apart at the seams. It's kind of dragging them down. It was sort of their identity for a while. And they feel like they have to carry it around everywhere. And they have to wear cool sunglasses on a podcast to make them feel hip and cool. Okay, I'm chunking.

I think I'm chunking right now. Yeah, you're something. I might be chunking. What would you say to a long hair like that, that maybe they want to cut it, but they've sort of tied their whole identity into this hair? What would you say to them, Kyle? I would say...

Cut it, man. What the fuck, dude? Shit grows back, bro. You need to cut it. Oh, dude. And thank you for really going on that beautiful soliloquy. Well said. I'm convinced. Podcasting is an audio medium. Is that the word already? Did he already do the word soliloquy? Oh, he already got it. I haven't even looked up the word, dude. It's so early.

Shut up, bitch. Way to be on the hunt, Anders. He's hunting. Now he's looking it up. Yeah, he's hunting. Well, I just hear these words and I'm like, what? Now he's dropping depth chargers on us. No, Adam has a vocabulary. Chill out, bro. Yeah. Chill out. My boy's got a vocab. I do have a vocab. Thank you for saying that. Yeah. Blake, you don't brush your hair, do you, Blake? Do you brush your hair?

Once in a blue moon, I'll pack it with conditioner in the shower and I will run a comb through it. Okay. Just pack it. Okay. He packs it away. So that's what you're drinking these days. How often is a blue moon? Two weeks? You're right. Thank you. Great question. A fortnight? Yeah, like once in a month. Like once in a month, maybe. Once in a month. So you brush your hair once a month? Yeah, probably like once a month in the shower. Oh, dang.

I'm still going to send it. Eating on the podcast, picking the nose. We're hitting home runs out the gate. Yeah. Well, you got to watch on YouTube to really get the full experience. You do. Ring that bell. Hey, this is our 200th and what? Like fourth episode or third episode, something like that? Absolutely. Hey, you know what?

We got to start getting better at this kind of shit. This is the way. Someday. I was ripping hair out when I was brushing my hair. Like, every time I brushed my fucking hair, which I had to do every single time I took a shower, which sucks. Why did you have to do that? Because otherwise you're talking about knots, dude. Like, the knots, they were driving me crazy. Stu's head was a berry farm. Yeah. You're a naughty boy. Okay. We'll give it to him. He's talking about knots berry farm. I like that. No.

Not even. So Cal Ridge. Thanks for drinking a ZOA, man. Yeah. Thanks for repping. Yeah. Get you some. Yeah. I'm a company man. Get you some brother. So Kyle, no, and I would like for you to speak on if you can't be on it. Yeah. You're, you know, you're a quarter of the podcast. Get your speak on. Yes. Ready to talk. What's up? Yeah. You're here to talk. Uh-huh. What I'm here for. Shut up real quick. To someone who is thinking about cutting their hair.

and is really kind of on the fence about it. They've tied their whole identity to it, but they do want to, and you've had private conversations where they've talked about maybe really wanting to cut it. Adam had an aneurysm. You said this. Water trash. What would you say to them? Well, ultimately, it's like you can't. I think you have to make the choice, okay? What I did. Oh, whoa. Oh, my God. Totally. Yeah. Wow.

You do? Hey, guys, give him a shot. He's talking. Shut the fuck up. I thought I had a soliloquy here. I thought I was able to fucking roll into this shit. Let that silver tongue do its deeds. I'm barely even starting and you guys are saying shut the fuck up.

Kyle, you have the floor. And you have the floor. The floor is yours. Okay, so you have to make the choice. You have to follow through. That's the big thing. I had made the choice a lot of times and I just waited until the next day. I thought, oh, I'll do it on stage for TII show. That'll be cool. I put it up on a fucking pedestal. I kept going further and further up when really, the other day, five, six days ago, I thought...

It fucking grows back, bro. Who cares? I've got to stop being a bitch, man. You know what I mean? Thank you, Kyle. That's what I was getting at. Stop being a little bitch is yes. I know. I was going to drive there eventually. Just let me drive, man. Yeah, you cannot be a bitch about it. You have to just cut your hair. This is a bitch thing. It is.

So this is a bitch thing. Okay. It all comes back to being a bitch, huh? Yeah. Interesting. So somehow it loops back to being a bitch. Kyle, are you not a bitch anymore? And Blake, are you taking this personal? Because I was saying just a guy out there. Plead the fifth. Yeah. I was just saying a guy out there. This wasn't a pointed thing to you, my guy. Absolutely not. You didn't even think about Blake at all. Yeah. No. I never do.

Because my hair isn't my identity. You guys know I'm much deeper than that. You know that I am a whole personality. I'm a cornucopia of ideas. Well, then cut your hair. Cut your hair, then. Just do it. I don't want to. And seeing you with a haircut makes me want to cut my hair less. Okay.

That is not true. That is not true. That's not true. That's not what you said off air. That's not what you said off air. What are all these conversations I'm having with people off air? Yeah, this dude doesn't have conversations off air. I don't talk to you. I've had some conversations off air where someone might have said something about cutting their hair if the right part came along. It was an acting thing. Yes, it was.

I'm not saying it's you. I'm saying a person. Okay. Danny McBride. Who are we talking about here? No, dude. Come on, man. The right part? Fuck that. I think we know. I think we know. Cut it for your life, dude. Cut it because you're a dad, bro. Cut it because you're a fucking dad, bro. What does that have to do with anything? Get a haircut. What? Kyle, dads can have long hair. No, not anymore. Not anymore. Yeah, that is sexist. That is daddest. I like this, Kyle.

I'm trying to be an asshole. Blake, sit up straight. Here's my thing about long hair. If it's dragging you down and you feel like you can't cut it because of expectations that you've built, but you want to and you want to turn over a new leaf, you got to fucking do it, as Kyle so eloquently said. And so bravely did. Got to make the choice and you got to commit. Very brave. What director would you cut your hair for? Name three directors you would cut your hair for.

He doesn't know three directors. I don't know that I didn't. Daniel Stern. Daniel Stern. Yeah, that's one. Daniel Stern did direct. Ben Stiller. Okay. Okay. Yep. And who's my third spot? And my third spot...

Do you know another director? Probably the Safdie brothers. Really? I would definitely do it for them. Really? Yeah. Let's make them do it. Let's make them. They can do it. I feel like we can make this happen. Oh, yeah. I would do anything for those guys. I think they're freaking geniuses. Yeah. You know that they no longer work together. Still brothers. But yeah, they don't. I would bring them together.

I would bring them back together. Oh, wow. This is important. Yeah. And it's just, it's a short film just about cutting your hair. It's dark and moody though. Yeah, absolutely. Let's get edge of your seat. He won't. He, it's just like the, the little door, the, the little bell that rings when you come in the barbershop, it just keeps cutting to that, building the tension the entire time. Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm in there. I feel like we might have to do this, do this ourselves, but I like that Kyle's not on that list.

Yeah, that's mine. Sorry, brother. But I would like to formally ask the Safdies if either one of them would attach Blake to a project that requires him to cut his hair. I would like to formally put that out into the world and ask them to really follow through because not only is he a great actor, he also looks very good with short hair and the world got to see it. Okie dokie.

remember when sean white's whole thing was he's the flying tomato he's got that long hair and then he just up and flipped the script and he cut it and then he's now sexier than ever right sexier than ever you feel that way a lot of people feel that way yeah i i think he is sexier i do think uh sean white got sexier with shorter yeah he got way sexier and i think you could too like dialed it in he grew up he flipped the switch that's what i'm saying grow up but

I don't really want to be set. I don't know that I want to be sexy. I like being, um, no, I don't think there's a lot of, I don't think there's, you don't have to worry about that. You have much to worry about. Yeah. I don't think you're good. Okay. You still keep wearing those glasses and your teeth like that. Have you ever,

I just saw some photos of you when you were like 19. Oh, boy. Me. Are we still talking about me? Yeah, with you. This sucks. Go down on me. And you had the tiny little afro. Okay. I'm glad you pivoted out of that because that was an awkward stage. I love it. It wasn't tight like when you're in high school because that was kind of a cute look. It's when it starts to hang. That's a bad look.

Yeah, but that's transition. Well, I think anybody who makes the transition to long hair, you realize that halfway there, it's a really, really awkward stage, and it's not cool. So why did Kyle cut his hair into the transition?

That's the question. Exactly. Okay. Points. Very good. Very good. Kyle, he's a trans activist. He's putting it out there. He's representing. Yeah, he really is. He's all about the trans. Yeah, all about transitional phases. It's really cool. It's a cool statement. I appreciate that. I think it's great. We love it, Kyle. Can you speak on that?

I will say I do like it because you got those squishy bangs. I don't know what happened, man. You're like an aging Bieber. Yeah, thanks, bro. An aging Bieber. He looks like a 90s skate photographer. Yeah, dude. I can see that. That's cool. I'm digging on that. Spike Jonze much? Yeah, hello. Hello.

Thanks. Oh, I'll cut it for Spike, too, if Spike wants. Okay. I'm going to put another formal request out there for Spike Jonze. Please attach Blake to a project where he needs to cut his hair. In fact, that's a formal invitation for all of Hollywood. Let's do this. So what if it was a big director? Because, you know, like David Gordon Green directs all the...

all the Pizza Hut commercials. He does all the Pizza Hut commercials. What if David Gordon Green's like, I want Blake in this Pizza Hut campaign, but he's got to cut his hair.

Oh, that's a great question. It's David Gordon Green. He's a big director, you know? Yeah. Do I get free Pizza Hut the rest of my life? That's the question. Of course. I think they're going to give you enough money that you could buy all the pizza for the rest of your life. But let's just say of course. They're backing the truck up on you. Yeah, let's say absolutely of course. Yeah, yeah. They're backing the hut. Yeah. Huh.

It gets me licking my lips a little bit. Yeah, so if you're listening at home, he's licking his chops. Which we still don't know what the answer is. We don't know what that means, but he's doing it. Whatever happened to licking your chops? Is that a cancelable offense now? You're doing it? No, I think you can still lick chops. Why are you doing it? Are you doing it like at a teenager's tennis match, like behind the serve? No. Context is everything.

Are you at a playground sitting on top of the monkey bars? No, but how old is the are they 19 year old? Because then then I think that would be I mean, you still might get canceled, but you're not getting arrested. It's still not a good look. Yeah, it's a bad look. Is your lips is licking your chops? Just your lips? Why is it called chops? Why do we call them your? I don't know. It's teeth. It's your teeth. It's not licking your chomps.

You goofballs. Yeah, it should be licking your chops. Oh, yeah. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's like your sideburns. You're licking so big, you're hitting those chops. That's what I thought. Yeah. Yeah, that was my look in high school. I had those sideburns that came out to here. That was a horrific, horrific look. Adam was ready for any band member to go down.

And for him to just slide right in on bass. If there was a concert where someone rolled an ankle, he's like, just give me the bass. Dude, but I also don't know how to play a fucking instrument to save my life. So I'm just ready to hold a guitar and then do a lot of... Not even the lead singer. I'll be a backup singer, but just I'm on stage. You were rockabilly ready, dude. People thought he was buckethead. And he's like, I'm not.

I'm not. He thought he was in the stray cats. Yeah, I had one of the PT kids at my physical therapy place was like, dude, what is that tattoo for? I have a nautical star tattoo. And I go, well, were you cool as fuck when you were 18? Punk rock, getting radical. And he was like, what? And I'm like, were you cool as shit? Because I was. And he didn't get it. He was like, oh, I guess so. And I'm like, it's because I...

It's because I thought I was cool. Hey, mom, the guy who gets his tape massaged was talking to me. Says he used to be cool. Dude, that's a different guy. I'm going to this woman now who is fantastic. And she was like one of the head masseuses for the women's national soccer team when we won gold and everything. And so she's great. And I was like kind of floating the three-finger special. Me a likey.

She worked me his hand. Yes, points. You got it, baby. And I was like trying to float the three-finger. Kyle, do you even know about the three-finger special? No, no. I don't know what the fuck that is. Let's take 20.

Quick, quick side note. Quick recap. Just in case you haven't listened to seven episodes ago. I go to this friend about his health. Who are asked about your friend's health. He gets me butt naked and and is shaking my leg and my dick is flapping.

under the cover and it's hitting him in the wrist because he's up by my thigh. This is immediately... I'm getting a little half-quarter chub. He goes, I'm going to get deep into your...

Well, you know, I wasn't like engorged, but yeah, about what Durs is showing on the ruler. I went from my steady state of two and a half to four inches. You need another four inches. And then he goes, I'm going to have to, it's your deep so as I'm going to have to slide under the hood. And I go, what does that mean? He takes his hand. He scoops it under my nutsack. No, please. No.

And he goes, I call this the three finger special. And then he presses his fingers between under my nutsack to, and he goes to my asshole. And he goes, I, you can't use the fourth finger because that'll breach the crest. And then he starts to flick right there. And I'm moving my arm, my leg back and forth. And, uh,

I'm playing the bass. Slapping the bass. I love you, man. I love you, man. And dude, I swear to, I swear, it was so painful, Kyle. Really? It was so painful, like white hot pain. And then he goes, eh.

and release and it felt like a guitar string broke and I felt fucking fantastic. Oh, really? And then he did that one finger lower and one finger lower and I have been better since going to him. I started like two and a half months ago and I'm the best I've ever been right now. What happened?

Well, not ever, but since my body has fallen apart two years ago. Ever since that bro freaking hit his G-spot. Yeah, that's great. So I floated this to this woman masseuse who does all the female soccer players, and I just told her about what happened, and she's like,

Okay. Oh, really? Never heard of that. She's like, huh? Weird. Breach the crest, huh? Okey dokey. Definitely not doing that. Keep your underwear on. I'm like, yeah, fair enough. Put your underwear back on. No, you know what? I told my guy about it and he was like, yeah, there's a lot of sensitive air, like whatever's under there. So he was like,

Yeah. Whatever. He knew all about it. I don't know what he said. I'm not going to go into detail, but there's a lot of sensitive whatever. I couldn't make out what he was saying with his tongue in my mouth. Your doctor says that. There's a lot of sensitive whatever. Oh, man. Let me tell you. There's a lot of sensitive whatever's down there. Yeah. A lot of sensitive. Thank you, doctor. A little bit of ecstasy. Oh, man. I'm going to get this. Yeah, we like that, baby. So wait, was that to tee up a bigger thing, Adam?

right i forget exactly what we're talking about because if we're not i got a segue to a doctor yeah yeah segue okay yeah yeah go baby go baby

So I just turned 43. Okay. Oldest friend. Oldest friend I know. That's so old. And I've never had it so good. But I went to the doctor the other day and it was like a new doctor, younger guy who took over for the dude who retired who was like a vibe doctor. You'd go in and be like, how do you feel? And you're like, good. And he'd be like, how's work and family? You're like, good. And he's like, hey man, if you're happy, you're good. And you're like, okay. All right. Right. Right. New doctor's like,

super technical like blood draw samples all this shit you got the ipad out he's typing in all sorts of stuff and he's like it's it says here you drink uh like five or six drinks a week i'm like yeah just mostly like weekend hello he's like well the new research is uh saying the only good number zero numbers are low zero uh i'm drunk now oh really he goes research says only new number that's good is zero let's try and get there and i was like oh yeah what the hell i just met you sir

And then he goes, how's your eating? I'm like, not great. It's not good at all. And then he goes, okay. Pizza, pizza. Just switch to a Mediterranean diet. You'll live longer, okay? And I was like... Whoa. Yeah. Wait, were you talking gyros? That's what I said. I'm like, well, I'm going to Greece. And he goes, okay, just don't eat any pita. And I was like... But...

that's why so he said all i got off his lap and i said listen mister dude he makes you call him santa yeah it was a little too much i was like you're yeah that's like what the doctors used to say about me when i'd write that i smoke cigarettes yes you know when i would write like they'd be like how about you stop that how about you just give that up

basically. And I was like, dude, no, wait, what? That's crazy that they took that stance on your five drinks a week. Didn't like it. Didn't like it. He's right. They're idiots. But...

When I was looking for a new general practitioner or a general practitioner, I had no one. So I was like – it was like when I think I turned 30. And I was like, you know what? I should have a doctor. Like I don't have a doctor. So I go and I'm looking for a doctor and my agents recommend this guy in Beverly Hills. I go to him. He's like this old school doctor and – It's probably the same guy. It's science. I mean maybe. Yeah.

He asked me how much I drank, and I was just coming off tour how much I drank in the last month, and I told him, and he said that we're not a good fit. Okay. He turned me down for being his doctor. He turned me down. I don't know if I can work with that. Because you drank too much? And then they did. I was so mad. They didn't validate parking either, so it cost me like $15 because it's Beverly Hills.

It was like $50 to get turned down by a doctor. I was like ashamed. I was intoxicated. He was like, what was your answer? What was your number at that time? Because I just got off tour. It's like, how much have you drank in the last... You're probably drinking five or six drinks a night. Yeah, every night. It was like seven in the last week. And I go, oh, every night.

because I had just gotten off tour. And then he went for a high five. And he's like, oh, what about the last month? He calls the nurses in. You got to hear this. And I go, oh, the last 30 days. And he was like, whoa. And I go, well, I just was off tour. It's going to slow down. And he's like, yeah, I don't think it's going to be a good fit. Wow. He turned away. That's so tight. This bro went for a high five. He said, I drink every night.

He's like, I'm not going to high five that. Yeah, I was wearing those glasses that Blake is currently wearing. Cut your hair. I'm not going to high five you, bro. You got to get out of my office. You got to go. You're having too much fun. Yeah. Then I seeked out my Dr. Brozark, so I'm all good now. Dr. Brozark should be like, that's what's up.

That's true. What's up, dawg? I'm prescribing you Jaeger. I feel like you could get those numbers up a little bit, brother. I think you could bump those numbers up. Have you had your tetanus shot? Have you had a Jaeger shot? Absolutely. Yes, points! Woo!

Durs, have you looked into it? Is that the research? Because they say a fucking glass of wine is good for you. Hasn't that been the general? That's old news. You know who does that research, dude? It's the wine guy. Yeah, it was my mom with big grapes. No, the new shit. I've heard that, too. The new shit is they're just now saying, like, no, it's not even worth it. But of course not.

Like, what? It's a bad idea. Yeah, it's a poison. It's just like nicotine. Well, sure, for sure. Alcohol is poison, but also it's dope. It's dope poison. Yeah. It's science. Yeah, it's the freaking best. Yeah, you're just doing a little bit of poison. That's all you're doing is just a little bit of poison.

poison here and there you know that's how how well it worked out fine for belbiv devoe and how else do you get immune to the cobra's venom if you don't take a little bit at a time you know what i'm saying brother all right thank you that's your that's what's the thank you princess what's the cobra what is the cobra what's gonna bite you what sort of alcohol animal yeah what's the how are you gonna get hurt from not there there's a good answer here

yeah i'm excited to hear it what kind of animal in my analogy are you asking me to unpack my analogy yeah well yeah very much so very much well the cobra is society and the venom is isn't there a cobra 40 ounce right and then they're yeah and then most obviously the venom is the cobra 40 ounce yeah so you're sipping the cobra 40 hours helped you with that and it was real yeah it does help you and it was a real walk around i i

By the way, how great would it be if we all still just drank 40s? 40s every day to the dome? That would be sick. Not even every day, but just casually where it was like, you go in the fridge and it's definitely just Dr. Dre 40 fridge.

Or you just go to a barbecue and you just bring four 40 ounces. And you're just like, here, let's go. We used to go to parties and bring 40s all the time. Yeah, 40s rock. Yeah, but when we were young men. I'm talking about now. But why can't you? Why don't you? I don't do it because I don't drink. But why don't you do it? I don't know. Yeah, why don't you bring a 40 to the... I have no good reason. This is the question, Kyle. And I'm asking you guys. Because it's a good way of saying I'm not sharing with anyone.

It's a good way of being like, I'm taking this to myself and then no one else at the party is invited to what I brought. That's what it was. That's totally. But you know what you got to do? You offer to share. Like you go, do you want a sip? Exactly. And no one's going to say yes. My grandma was so cool. You know, you know, some annoying little girls like not little girl, but like little woman is going to be like, and now I'm looking at my chops. I'll take it. And then she's deep throat in your 40 ounce. I don't want to.

That's not interesting. Did you guys drink 40s before they kind of pivoted to like a wider mouth? Yeah. Excuse me? Coors 40s? Because they used to just be like very narrow to like a small opening and then like at some point in the 90s, they just went wide mouth with it. I don't know.

I don't remember a wide mouth. I always kind of remember a... Good. I wouldn't want it any other way. Bud Light and Budweiser had wider mouths. Yeah. But the, like, oldie, Mickey... But we were drinking Big Bear and was it called Country Club? Country Club, yes. Oh, Country Club, dude. That was a... Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Oh, Country Club. Right? That was the staple, dude. Because you're like, this is hilarious. Yeah. What genius made those? Well, we drank a lot of...

Of like the malt liquor. I remember going... I was just telling Chloe about Sonny's Liquor Store down by our house on Carmona. A little history lesson, yeah. Yeah, Sonny's Liquor Store. San Vicente? Yeah, and it was that Asian guy named Sonny, and it was his liquor store.

liquor store and he hated everything. He hated that you're in his store. He hated that you were buying stuff. He was never nice. Yeah. He didn't like it when he bought cigarettes. Yeah. He just, and his name was there. I know real cloudy disposition and gloomy. Uh,

I can't imagine owning and running a liquor store in Los Angeles, though. That must be the most fucking insane job of all time. It's got to be great. Sure, yeah. And you know this guy has seen some shit. He's seen some shit. If you're not getting murdered, it's the best. But we would go over there and we would get night train a lot. That was our drink of choice. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Get some Sparks, which are, I think, maybe the first energy alcohol drink, which, man. Trailblazers. They were great. Oh, it was Thunderbird. Do you remember Thunderbird with the night train? I sure do. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was great. God damn, that was great.

Welcome back, Kyle. He's back. Hey, man. Yeah, you're getting kind of chubbed up. Kyle, did you drink 40s? What was your brand of 40? Oh, yeah. Edward 40 Hands. Come on. Everybody did that. I think I would always get a Mickey's 4.0, dude. Yeah. I think that was what I wanted.

Poor man. I like that. It hit a little bit harder. It slammed you quicker. You know? Nice and cold, dude. Mickey's cold was like such a fucking good taste. The little grenade bottles. Oh, the grenades. I can like taste it right now just from memory. Oh, God.

Just from a fucking memory, dude. I remember that shit. Are you alright, bro? I'm in the moment with you guys. Oh, shit. If you're just listening, Kyle just took off and went on a bender. He's back, dude. How are you? I'm in the moment with you guys, and that's my only fault. Yeah.

what is being too present with us. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, man. Sometimes I'm like, bro, just back off a little bit. You're too in the moment. Yeah. You're too in the moment. Yeah, yeah, I know. I would say it'd be fun to have a...

Well, I am slowing down my drinking because it now causes my body to convulse and go into spasms. Hey, the new number for healthy is zero. Yeah. The cause of diarrhea. Well, you do. There is a certain level of like zeroing out your equation if you're having health issues, right? Like just being like, well, if that's fucking me up, I got to see if it's that.

I should stop, but I'm also thinking now that we're getting going, I'm like, maybe I'm not drinking enough. There we go. Really? That's your thought process. Now this is interesting. Like maybe if I go really far, the body will, like, because I get with the spasms, alcohol brings these spasms on in my body. The doctor told me.

And I have felt it. We did a start party for Righteous Gemstones this weekend. And the next couple of days, I was like, zip, zap, zap. I'm tightening up and I'm getting little zippy whips. Interesting. Oh, okay. And you drank at the party? I drank at the party. Okay. But I'm like, maybe if I drink, I feel like if we do like a bachelor party level of drinking, maybe that'll short circuit me out.

to where then I'm back on my baseline. Kyle's crying already. I like the science. I'm going to actually poke a hole in the science because the science is... Here we go. Terrence Howard over here. Let's go, brother. Okay, all right.

Terrence Howard, double helix. I just think that the thought process is a little bit circular. You know what I mean? You've been, you've done that. I've seen you do that, trying to short circuit your body many times. So I'm just saying you have performed. So you know what he's capable of. Yeah. You have performed this, this experiment.

In the past. You've already experienced it with results. But that wasn't when I was having my spasms. My spasms have only come on in the last year and a half or so. Stank you, Lenny. And you have noticed them coming on because of... So more of... Yeah. Yeah. Going on tour didn't help. So more...

more is like a short circuit. And when you short circuit something also just to take the analogy, when you short circuit something, you are, you are popping it. Yeah.

You are breaking it. Short circuit two is better. I agree. That'd be fun. I'd love to just break my nervous system. Just be done with it. Don't need it. No. Anyways. Do it right before day one of shooting. Yeah. That's tomorrow. Actually, tomorrow's my first day. No, really? Oh, really? Oh, nice. Happy first day of shooting. You got an early call? Do you know all your lines? Do you know all your lines? Yeah. What's up? You got them?

I do know him. Are you off book? Yeah, it's one scene. I am off book, yes. I'm pretty confident in my ability to say these two lines that I have in this big scene. He's got this. With like 11 characters. I always feel like that's worse. When you have two lines, I'd rather have 12, honestly. Yes, meat. Oh, I would rather have a full monologue because then you're like really dialed in. The two lines when there's like 15, because I think there's like

eight people in this scene. So then you're just sort of, you want to stay engaged, but you know, I'm a mediocre actor. So what I do is zone out. Okay.

Right, right. When it gets like halfway through the day, especially when they come around and they don't get your coverage until like the end of the day and you're like, Adam, I am worried about I'm on so much medication. I get really fucking tired. Like, yeah, like maybe really, really tired in the in the late afternoon. And are you still off caffeine? Yeah. Oh, wow. How are you doing with that? I'm not off off. I've dialed it back to I can have three caffeine drinks a day. So no energy drinks, but caffeine.

Two cups of coffee. Yeah. And does that count? So it's not an energy drink. It's green energy. It's a different thing. I can have all those. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, so you're OK. That's cool. Yeah.

oh yeah so what are your what are your three coffee drinks that would be hard for me to no because i'm back on caffeine i went back i'm like i'm all over back yeah oh yeah caffeine rocks uh i just i just drink coffee i don't i don't fuck it up i just just coffee you don't do espressos or anything like that no none of the dopios none of that shit oh damn maybe maybe now's the time get into some fucking shots dude

espresso shots you're just like that's too it's too small yeah he probably wants it to last right i want to last a little bit i want to savor the moments these will fucking zing you up though dude they're cool i don't want to get too zinged kyle that's the thing i'm trying to keep the zings down zing levels at a zing level at an all-time low yeah only time zing level can be high is if you're going to short circus it

Short Circus. I said Short Circus. We got to talk about the movie Short Circuit. If you're going to keep saying it, we got to talk about it. We got to talk about it. I love that movie. The other thing that will Short Circuit me is...

Vigorous exercise. So guess what I'm doing now, dudes? Have you ever fucked with Pilates? Ooh, I want to bad. I want to so bad. I want to. Samantha does. She's trying to get me there. I went in this place, but all the women are like 30s, 40s, 50s.

just banging, just banging bods. And I'm licking my chops for anybody watching on YouTube. There's no chops licking. I was like, I was saying like, I no longer want to look like a CrossFit. That got me licking my chops. I wasn't licking my chops. There's no chops licking. He's not saying you were. I'm licking mine. I'm licking mine just hearing you say that. I'm already licking. I no longer want a CrossFit chick body. I want a Pilates. I like how Adam's like, I wasn't licking my chops, but I'm here saying that they're banging. Yeah.

dude, they're banging. I want my, I look at them. I look at them and I'm not saying I want to fuck them. I don't. I'm,

What I'm saying is I want my body to look like it. I no longer want to look like a CrossFit female. I want to look like a shredded Pilates chick. I totally understand what you're saying. Are you on the reformer? I'm on the reformer, dog. What's the reformer? Are they like long, long lengthy dancer bodies? Yeah, but pretty taut. And I'm looking my chops. Real stretched out, really...

Just definition. Everything's very defined. Sure. I got to do it, man. What's the reformer? I heard you guys say that. What is that, please? Reformer. The reformer is like... That's the stretcher. That's the thing that you connect your... Perfect. I've never done it, but I think what I know is you connect your body to it and it helps you stretch. I think that's what I know. It's...

It's like a sliding little thing with bands, like coils. Does it look like a treadmill, sort of? No, it's kind of like a bed. It looks like a rack. It looks like a damn mere torture device. Okay. Yeah, I'm not... Fucking thing sucks! Yeah, and then you do all kinds... I mean, like...

By the way, I'm not a pro. I've gone three times now. Fifth time. Can you get pro? Can you be a pro Pilates? You can't go pro. I'm sure you can. Dude, I'm going to. You know me. When I go into a thing, I'm going all the way. I'm going to be fucking addicted to this. Adam, I would just chill. They're running out of places to finger you on.

I'm pissed now. Three-finger discount. Yeah, be careful. Yeah, I've already been fingered in a few places. This dude rode a bike. He rode a bike so hard he had to get his fucking taint ripped open. It's true. I don't know what Pilates is going to cause. And release. Do you like Pilates because is it like low impact? Is this something that your body... It's low impact and it stretches you out, dude, because I'm just like a tightly wound ball.

for so long. And you just got your legs over your head the whole time or what's going on? Who cares? It's different shit every day. Blake's just trying to paint a picture here. You said that like it was a bad thing or it's not. Okay, I misread that. Lick some chops. Okay, he's licking chops. Sorry, dude. My bad. Lick.

Let my man lick. I'm going to have chap lips. I'm licking my damn chops so much I'm going to have chap upper lips. Dude brought to you by CarMax. Chop Steakhouse. CarMax. So your ass is in the air. What's it looking like? Okay, just trying to picture it. Dude, my ass is all over the place. Yeah, I just really... Does it whoop your ass? Do you feel like you got a really crazy workout or is it just yoga? The crazy thing is it's...

It's harder than yoga. I mean, yeah, it's weird because sometimes you're like, oh, I could do this all day. And then you get in another position and it's the hardest thing that you've ever done. But you're just moving your feet a little differently and tilting your body a little differently. And...

And then I've been the most sore I've been in years. From Pilates. It's getting you. And I'm still working out. I'm still lifting weights and stuff. And I feel like since I'm so used to that, my body's like, yeah, this is kind of what we do. Yeah. This Pilates shit is... Hit me! I had that happen. I played two-on-two basketball the other day. I was fucking rocked for four days straight. Like, couldn't even move because I just...

I don't engage my body that way anymore. It's crazy. What do you mean? Like laterally, whatever the fuck jumping is, you run, you run a lot, right? But I run a ton, but it's like going side to side. Yeah. And it's like long distance. So it's about pacing. And then like basketball is just like small sprints and jumping start, start and stop. Oh my God. I thought I was going to die. I've never felt so old in my life. It's terrible. Uh, and who were you playing with young bucks or what? Were they other golden oldies or what's the deal? Oh,

TK, you know, youthful energy, about the same ages, all of us. So did you beat the shit out of him? I heard you were good, dude. I heard you played well. Yeah, I played well, but I suffered. You fuck around and get a triple-double? Yeah, what's up? I don't know if I got a triple-double, but I suffered the consequences for literally four days. My body felt like it was going to fall apart. Like I couldn't even walk. Like you were sore or like you felt injured? Very sore, not injured. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Very, very sore. Oh, okay. Okay. So you're just working shit that you ain't worked in a while. Yeah, it's crazy. I got to engage. That's what happens. You got to mix up your exercises and really do it. Muscle confusion. Muscle confusion. Confusion, as our boy Tony Horton once said. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Right.

Planet Money Summer School is covering the economic history of the world. From the birth of money to the Industrial Revolution to modern trade policy, we've got the lessons to keep you sounding smart at the beach with help from real economic historians. Every Wednesday until Labor Day. Listen to Planet Money from NPR on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Guess what, Mango? What's that, Will? So iHeart is giving us a whole minute to promote our podcast, Part-Time Genius. I know. That's why I spent my whole week composing a haiku for the occasion. It's about my emotional journey in podcasting over the last seven years, and it's called Earthquake House. Mango, I'm going to cut you off right there. Why don't we just tell people about our show instead? Yeah, that's a better idea. So every week on Part-Time Genius, we feed our curiosity by answering the world's most important questions.

Things like, when did America start dialing 911? Is William Shatner's best acting work in Esperanto? Also, what happened to Esperanto? Plus, we cover questions like, how Chinese is your Chinese food? How do dollar stores stay in business? And of course,

Is there an Illuminati of cheese? There absolutely is. And we are risking our lives by talking about it.

On a basketball tip, the finals are going to start here soon. We're filming this or recording this before the finals start. It seems like the Timberwolves can come back and make history and win the Western Conference Finals, but they're not going to. It's going to be the Mavericks. And

And it's going to be the Mavericks and Celtics. Are you excited? Do you think a new dynasty is being born with the Mavericks? Or do you think the Celtics are...

are going to come out on top. This is a big, big question. I'm all in on this Mavericks team. Great question. Great question, and I'd like to take it first. Okay. I like the Mavericks. I don't know if I'm getting a Dynasty vibe, but Blake, I want you to take it first after I took it. You want me to take it? I want Kyle to take it first. It's a great question. Kyle's got some great insight on the NBA season. And is there a reason we call them the Mavs and not the Ricks?

Yes, there is. It's because the Ricks is the Dallas Ricks. It's got a ring. Dude, and they all have to have pretty sick Ders-level mustaches. Yeah, the Ricks. It's kind of something. It's almost like soot. Blake, did you shave your mustache?

Yeah, I did. I took it down. See, I cut hairs. I cut hairs all the time. I'm not afraid to change my identity. I look like I sneezed in front of a bowl of cinnamon or something. Yeah. Yeah. That got me licking my chops a little bit. That's getting me licking my chops. So wait, Kyle, do you think the Dallas Ricks are a dynasty? Yeah. Are you down with the Boston Ticks?

Ticks or Ricks? Definitely down. I'm down with both, man. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm down with both teams. Cool. Super helpful. You wish everybody could win? You wish everybody could win? I think everybody is going to win. I think everybody's going to come away winners. I agree. I agree. I think that a lot of this is just, you know, like it's just not. They're going to come away good. Kyle, here's a question because you don't follow any sports, right? What do you watch? What do you follow? Oh, God.

I watch Pickleball. That's all I watch is Pickleball. Oh, God. I don't have to talk about it, but you asked the question. I don't need to talk about it, but that's all I want. Yeah, but that's only been the last couple years. Two years. So you never were into sports?

Like watching any kind of sports? No, I watched baseball. I liked watching baseball. Oh, that's right. And I had a couple seasons with you guys where I watched basketball with you guys over the finals and stuff, which was fun. It was cool. We'd hit the bars. We'd see, like... Drink some Mickeys. Fucking pal. I like pal. When pal... Yeah, you were a pal. When pal hung up, you hung up. You're big. You're big.

big into Pau Gasol. That's what your haircut is. It's Gasol. It's Gasol adjacent. Yeah, actually that is right. You're looking more and more like Pau. You look like a Gasol. Thank you. If you told me you were part of the Gasol family, I would...

Not even freaking bat an eye. Kyle Gasol. And what's crazy is Adam Nuchak looks like the other Gasol brother, Marc Gasol. Yeah. Yeah, he really does. Dude, it's us. It's us. That's cool. That's cool. Well, Blake, who do you got? I got the Mavs. I think Luka and Kyrie are going to do it this year. Kyrie is on fuego right now. Kyrie is... Yeah, he's... Well, I mean...

Up until the last game, I mean, now games have been played since we recorded this. I thought the Mavs were coasting. I thought they were in finals form, but they had a little hiccup last game. But I do think they had a hiccup and they lost by like five. Right. Yeah. It wasn't they didn't get blown out or anything. And Minnesota was fighting for their lives. Yeah. You know, cat, cat.

balled out. Yeah, I think the Mavs are in fighting shape. Can I say I absolutely don't fuck with Kat? Yeah, sure. Adam, permission granted. Go for it. Oh, you said it. Yeah, I absolutely do not fuck with him. I think when the lights get bright, he cowers. Now, Anthony Edwards, I think he's a... And that's why you don't fuck with him? Yeah, I think he just... You cannot count on him in the big moments to show up.

Okay. That's a problem, especially when you get this far. And if I see him in the streets, we're going to fight him. Oh, boy. I actually got to play Modern Warfare with Kat during... We did a Mountain Dew tournament. He's a really nice guy. I take it back, man. I'm sure he's cool. Really cool dude. I like watching him in the interviews after the game. Okay, see? If you give good interview, we like you.

No. What do you like about his interviews? His interviews are kind of shitty. He seems jovial, seems fun, seems funny. Yeah, he seems like he's a nice guy. He seems friendly. I think, like, but I don't see... He just will have games where he just does not show up. And he's, like, 0 for 11. And you're like, oh. Yeah.

Well, we really needed you to make one of those. You're our other guy. Basketball player. I got a question. What is a cat? What is a cat? Didn't you guys send something in one of the chats where somebody was rocking a dope feather earring? Who was that? That was Kyrie Irving. He had a very long earring. When Isaac pierced his ear. Just swallow and then speak. What is happening? Yeah.

Sorry, I ate a burrito bowl right before air. You're picking your nose. Kyle's eating. You're burping. This is a foul podcast. Do me, do me, do me, Adam. You're good this podcast. You're doing good. You're touching yourself, bro. I can see it. Let loose a little bit. Get a little nasty with us, bro. Come on. Okay, so that guy's cool. I'm into that. People

People are coming around on him. He's a flat earther and he got a lot of flack for that. But now I'm kind of like, maybe earth is flat. He jumps so damn high, he knows better than the rest of us.

Defies gravity, yeah. Well, it was when everyone was kind of losing their minds. It was during the time that, Kyle, I think if you were to say, I also am a flat earther, I would have... You guys were sipping the same Kool-Aid. It was during the pandemic. Yeah, no. The internet information was fast and loose. Yeah, it was fast and loose. People were... I wouldn't say everybody, but certain people did go down a little rabbit holes, and I think he was one of them. And I saw... I was sitting...

uh, courtside. And, uh, I yelled, uh, like something about the earth is round Kyrie and he turns around and he just goes, I know. Oh, Oh no. Yeah. He gave up. I thought you were going to say he handed you a pamphlet to like prove you otherwise. He was like, actually read up. He gave up. No, he was in the game and he turns around and starts running backwards. He's like, I know. Yeah.

Wait, what the hell? He doesn't stand by the flat earth? He's like he was educated? No, it was like, I think it was like a thing he said. He like went down like a weird. And he even said in like post-game interviews, he was like, I just was going down some weird YouTube rabbit holes. And I just had a moment where I tweeted that. And I, you know, I don't actually feel that way.

It's science. I think the blowback was so fierce that... You know why? Nike was like, come on, get out there. Let's make a statement. That's really wild. I will say I love his shoes. Kyrie Irving has...

The sickest like Pocahontas brown shoes that look like moccasins that have the, what are these called? Tassels. Kyle, you would love them. You would love it. It's fringe, dude. Yeah. It has the fringe all the way around them. You got to check these out. They're a great shoe. It's just beautiful. Him running around with this fringe, just flapping in the wind. It's fantastic.

Wait, it's on the shoes? Apparently, ballers like his shoes, too. It's on the shoe. That he plays in? Yeah, and they're brown. They're brown. And they're brown. They look like moccasins. What? And when he dunks, he says to Tonka.

Yeah, he does. Yeah. But from 90s WWF, he's referencing the wrestler Tatanka. What? That's the only wrestler I remember. Great wrestler. Yeah, Kyle. And we need to look him up. He seems like he's your guy. He seems like he's your guy. Holy shit, man. What's the over under that Tatanka? The wrestler was actually Native American. There's no way. He's white as fuck. No. Yeah.

His name is Ronald McDonald or some shit, dude. No doubt in my mind. Clyde Winchell. No doubt. Oh, to talk, Clyde Winchell, of course. His name is Michael Jackson. He

He just has a name that's super common and somebody else's name. Dude, Tatanka was running it in the 90s. That bro. His name is Chris Chavez. Chavez. What's Chavez? Well, Chavez. Chavez could be something. Yeah, usually like C-H's. Chavi. Yeah, that's a common in, you know, native languages. Yeah, true. I just, for whatever reason, my photos popped up and these two photos were the two photos that were just there. That's great.

And it's us. It's Durs and I from the MTV Music Awards looking so 10 plus years ago. These are those photos of us sitting in front of behind Foster. The people just borderline. Those pictures are really funny. Yeah. Borderline blackout. Guys wearing a purple tie like it's sick.

Dude, I love that Ders' look. It's like, you gotta dress up. It's the MTV Music Awards and he wore a purple tie. Oh, yeah. And I dressed like an elementary school kid. You wore whatever free LRG we had. And yet, here we are. Shout out to LRG. They really laced us up. Is this when we sat next to Rebecca Black and we were like,

Friday? Congratulations on all your success. She's like, Dad, help me. I think so. Friday. Yeah, she was on your side. And remember the guy... We've had to have told this on the podcast. Rebecca Black. Where the...

it was Philippe Dumont who was the head of Viacom at the time and the woman was sitting next to me I was like if you want champagne I know the champagne guy he could hook you up I've got a good rapport with him and she's like do you know who you're sitting next to and I go no I'm Adam and she goes this is Durst and

This is sitting next to him. This is Philippe Dumont, the head of Icon. And he's like, hey, pleasure to meet you. Workaholics, right? And I'm like, oh, yeah, wow. And then I go to the guy sitting next to him and I go, are you a titan of industry as well? And the guy looks over and goes,

I own Sprint. By the way, Philippe did not know Workaholics. Let's be clear about that. No, he said Workaholics. He did say it. That's fucking cool. No, Philippe's a huge Holics head, dude. If there's facts, you can fact check. He's a Holics head. I swear to God, he did say it. He did say it. I hung my hat on that. He's a Holics head, dude.

Philippe's a holics head. We're big in France. There's no way in hell he even knew Comedy Central existed, I believe. Where are the holics head at? No, he did. I'm not fibbing. He did say it. He did say it. But that was a very fun night.

These shoes are fucking unreal, dude. Yeah, those are sick. You can buy them, Kyle. You can buy those. Unreal. You should wear those when you play pickleball. Can you buy that version? I believe so. I mean, I don't know. You're the sneaker guy. Those might be PE player exclusives there. Oh, that's too bad. I feel like I'm going to look. I feel like I should play pickleball in them. I feel like I should. Yeah, that would be super tight. I would be really hyped. And Kyle, if you could just block the entire camera with your phone, that'd be better. What's up? What?

For being a director, he doesn't really know lighting or camera angles or composition. What the hell? I'm doing audio. I don't think about the video when we do the pod. I'm sorry. And if anything, I think of it as a secondary thing. But you've got to watch the video. All the fans out there, you've got to watch the videos.

You have to watch the video. And honestly, go on YouTube. Don't think of it as a secondary thing because we have almost 100,000 subscribers. Yes, almost. If we get 100,000, we get a goddamn plaque. We get a plaque. We want the plaque, people. I'm saying I'm wrong in thinking that the visual is secondary. I am saying that I am wrong. And if you are a fan of the pod, do not think like me, okay? Thank you. Bye. Thank you. Can we talk to the audience real quick?

Yes. Like, what are you guys doing? Yeah. What are you doing? Hit the subscribe button. I feel like our subs are low. Our subs are low. Our subs are so low, guys. Subs are low. We need to get the subs up. Get on YouTube and sub. Just based on our listeners. I'm like, do you guys not want to look at us? We got a lot of listeners. We got a lot of listeners. Got a lot of listeners. Bring it over to YouTube. It doesn't even matter if you watch it. Just sub.

Get us the plaque. So if we get to 100K, we get a plaque? We get a plaque. If you guys don't fucking do it, we're almost there. It's lighter that he can't figure out how to work. Is that what you got for your birthday? That looks like a birthday present. No, this is a road trip up to Mammoth at a gas station. That is a good pick up.

Good pickup, brother. Dude, I'm a little bummed. I go to... I have a new assistant that's going to be helping me on Righteous Gemstones, and she's fantastic. But I will say, a little bummed, because I go, hey...

I need five lighters for the house. Dealer's choice, I want you to pick out the most fun lighters you can. That's so nice of you as a boss. And then she came back with the five just regular color lighters. What's regular color? Yellow, green, blue, black.

That's fun. All those together is fun, dude. That's not fun. Maybe that's stepping out for this person. What are you expecting? Look at Durza's lighter. That's what I kind of expected. For the listeners at home, we have a double barrel shotgun lighter.

Double barrel shotgun lighter, dude. With two lighters. Yeah, that's fun. That's off the chain. That is fucking fun as fuck. A little disappointed, but everything else is going fantastic. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And that can be corrected. Do they at least have a little governor on them? Can you soup them up? Yeah. Dude, I have one of those lighters. No, no, no. It's Bic. They're Bic. I got one of those lighters today. Maybe you should dress her down a little bit about it. Maybe you should fire. I say let her go. Yeah. Dude, make an example.

No, we're going to keep her around. Okay. Any take packs? Any apologies? Any epic slams? Yeah. I'm going to slam your assistant. That's what you need. What Kyle's got. Because Kyle, do you take off the top and then open?

Open up the governor big time. So it's like, yeah, right. That was like a high school, like day one thing. You bust the back out and then you're day one. Your lighter has a huge torch. Did you say high school? This was a junior high day. One thing. Well, for you, you're an advanced child. You're smoking very early. Jesus. Yeah. When you're in, when you start the seventh grade, they give you light. I got it off. Plus the pot.

bust the back off. Yeah, and get that torch. I forgot Kyle was a freaking pyro. Yeah, he was. Wow, Kyle. Hey, impressive. Any takebacks? Hold on. I already did. No, you see that? That's the top right now. I'm showing you the top, and then that's the bottom. Do your takebacks. This is a visual pod. You should subscribe. You should really check out the pod. Now I'm going to go up. Yeah, they have to check out the YouTube. It looks like they might have blocked this, Durs. They might have blocked this shit. No. Not if they know it's good for them. No. No.

They prevent kids from getting large torches now? I'm having fun. Dude, I think this is blocked, man. I'm so sorry. Any take backs, any apologies, any epics? Yeah, I'm going to slam Kyle for not figuring this shit out.

I'd like to slam the lighter company. This is fucking bullshit, dude. What is this? Who is this? That sucks. Any take backs? Apologies. Fucking disaster. I would like to give us very special epic shout out to Anders home. Happy birthday, brother. I hope it was a good one. Yesterday, buddy. Happy birthday yesterday. Yeah, it was great. Soft Furiosa. We'll save it for the pod. Yeah.

This is what it is. Oh, yeah. This is the pod. No, nothing. It can't. CGI. So it wasn't a great birthday. You seem sad, Durs. You seem curious, though. No, birthday was perfect. Movie kind of let me down because the last one was all live action. There was a lot of CGI in this one, and that sucks. I will say for Mad Max...

I was so... I was kind of excited. I was like, ooh, prequel? I love Mad Max. That movie fucking rocked. Yes, Mad Max was so good. It was brilliant. Fury Road, right? You talking about Fury Road, Kyle? Yeah, Fury Road. Brilliant. Yes. It was so fucking fun. And Tom Hardy played it so tough and real. And you're like, oh, sick. And now they have Chris Hemsworth with this funny nose. And he's playing it big and cartoony. I'm like, this seems shitty. Yes, sir. This doesn't seem like the same vibe as...

at all. It's less than. And I kind of like how streamlined the last one. I know everyone shat on it because it was like they drive away and then they drive back and I'm like, well, yes, but this one's like kind of sprawling. Yeah, Fury Road. Yeah, it was a road. Furiosa is a little too sprawling, a little too tangential for me. There's just times where you're like, what are we doing here? Right.

Why am I still in this? And there's chapters. Way to ruin Ders' birthday. When they hit you with the last chapter card, you're like, this isn't over? This is the way. Ruining Ders' birthday. Happy 43rd, not. I kind of feel like that's what Ders wants for his birthday. It's a bad movie. He gets shit on. Ders needs some hate. Dude, I watched Saving Private Ryan with my 10-year-old the other day, and he was like...

That's the best movie I've ever seen. I'm like, yeah, it's really good. Whoa.

well that's good that he likes good movies he thought barry pepper was like the coolest ever when he's a sniper and he like kisses the cross and like says the prayers and every time he kills somebody and maybe if he's lucky he'll grow up and be a sniper and murders a bunch of people and he probably will it's like one of the best yeah he's lucky i could see that i could see that oh wow uh that took a turn yeah

I can see your job being done. Any take backs? Any apologies? I'm going to recommend, how about a recommendation? I would re-watch Saving Private Ryan. The Academy Award winner. Storm of the Beats at Normandy, that whole fucking scene. Unreal. Unreal! Oh yeah, crazy. They staged that. I actually did re-watch that not too long ago. It is a good movie. I guess I'd cut my hair if they asked me to be in that. By the way, everybody's in that movie. Who directed that? Steven? Okay, there it is. Spielberg. Yeah, maybe I did. Steven Spielberg.

Well, boys, that seems like another episode of... This is important! Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso. Made with blonde espresso, creamy oat milk, and spiced apple flavors. It's an icy crisp sip you can enjoy all autumn long. Order ahead on the Starbucks app.
