Episode Overview

In this crossover episode, comedian and Workaholics star Blake Anderson joins Julian Edelman and the crew from the "Games With Names" podcast for a deep (and deeply funny) exploration of Bay Area sports fandom, pivotal moments in sports history, behind-the-scenes stories from the world of comedy, and a detailed rewatch of Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals (Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics). The conversation ranges from improv league championships in high school to the emotional significance of Bay Area sports, topped with classic banter around "quarterback brain," snack strategy, and the existential importance of a good appetizer.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

3. High School Improv & Theater Sports Rivalries (13:53 – 16:27)

• A surprising thread on Devil Mountain Improv League, improv rivalries with storied football schools, and the genuinely competitive—if unorthodox—nature of high school performing arts.
  • Quote: "You have to approach acting not as an art. It is a sport." – Ders (14:59)

4. Comedy as Team Sport: The Origins of Workaholics (38:44 – 43:11)

• The origin story for Workaholics is traced back to community college improv, meeting Adam Devine, and hustling sketches out of the "trunk" on MySpace and YouTube.

  • Quote: "It was very, too short in that way... we got it out of the trunk, man." – Ders (40:44)

• Living the sitcom: The crew really did live together in Van Nuys, using their own house as the Workaholics set—an entrepreneurial move when Comedy Central picked up the series.

(From 59:35 onward, with lead-up and key detail, revisited throughout the last hour of the episode)

• Ders, a lifelong Warriors fan, takes the crew through his experience of the 2022 Finals, focusing on the pivotal Game 4:
  • The emotional context: post-COVID sports "renaissance", the feeling of life returning for fans.
  • The stakes: Celtics were up 2-1, Warriors needing a win to avoid going down 3-1.
  • Steph Curry’s legendary performance: 43 points, a signature “battery” moment.
  • Analysis of Celtics roster and team trajectory, shifting NBA fandom dynamics, and how All-Star Games have lost their old-school luster as moments of cross-fandom unity.

  • Quote: "We could have run it back, but Draymond punched Jordan Poole at practice, and then they leaked the footage." – Ders (75:39)

[Blake Anderson]

June 10, 2022 TD Garden, Boston, MA.

[Ders]

The Boston Celtics look to take a commanding 31 lead, but Steph Curry and

[Julian Edelman]

the warriors kept the receipts.

[Blake Anderson]

This is game four of the 2022 NBA Finals.

[Ders]

Oh, that's a catch.

[Blake Anderson]

Welcome to Games With Names. I'm Julian Edelman. They're Jack and Kyler, and we are on a mission to finding the greatest game of all time. We have a great episode coming up with hilarious comedian Blake Anderson. And if you haven't already, drop a and subscribe to Games with Names.

[E]

Let's go.

[Blake Anderson]

Games with Names is a production of iHeartradio. Strike. The strike was because I work out Fox and we. I do the pregame show. And so that's a different sector, but there's still, like, the Hollywood sector on the Pico campus or whatever. So there'd be, like, fucking strikers out the whole time, like, looking at us all wrong. Going into work, I'm like, sports, bro. Yeah, I'm doing sports. I am a man of the people.

[Ders]

Yeah, you were a scab.

[Blake Anderson]

I was a scab.

[Ders]

Damn.

[Blake Anderson]

I said, I'm not Doug Flutie. I'm not Fluty, dude. Looney was a scab, dude.

[E]

He was a.

[F]

The NFL.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[Ders]

Ludy's my boy, though. We got to interview him at the last Super Bowl. That guy's cool, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

He's a student. So I'll tell you a Flutie story.

[Ders]

Okay, I like this.

[Blake Anderson]

So I'm sitting in. We're sitting in the lock, or we're sitting in the training room and there's a huge rainstorm in Boston. And we're all sitting there and they're reporting on it, and one of the streets is over flooded in Boston, and all of a sudden you see fucking Flutie in a canoe in the background. He's like, what's up? And everyone's like, that's Doug Flutie. He's in the.

[Ders]

He's so Canadian.

[Blake Anderson]

He's an insane surfer. Is he?

[Ders]

Yeah, he does give that vibe. Totally. He has good flow, too.

[Blake Anderson]

Great flow. He's a stud athlete at, like, everything.

[Ders]

Yeah. Like, I don't know. Is there such thing as, like, quarterback brain? Like. Like the bro, he was like a computer. Like, his knowledge was crazy. Like, it just felt like when you talk to him, he just. The way he talked about the game was insane.

[Blake Anderson]

I guarantee, if you sat down with a cornerback, you would not. You would say, yes, there's definitely a quarterback.

[Ders]

Okay. Okay. That' what I thought. That's what I thought.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, those are athletic.

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah. That's all you need to be. That's why I was surprised. I was like, wow, this guy's, like, hyper intelligent towards the game. Like, but I guess you have to be when.

[Blake Anderson]

But. So who's the quarterback?

[Ders]

The dumbest quarterback.

[Blake Anderson]

No, who's the quarterback? Marcus Russell. In. In your group of comics.

[Ders]

Oh, like in. In my squad, between me, Jers, and Adam. Are you saying, like.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. And you're in your squad. Who's the quarterback brain?

[Ders]

Oh, man. I mean, there's. Is the most intelligent as far as, like. Yeah, yeah. I would say there's. Yeah. He breaks down, like, movies and, like, he attacks things from a writer's perspective. So, like, he was kind of the one who was like, breaking down the formula of comedy. Why? You watch a TV show and an episode is good. There's usually you can break it down. Why?

[Blake Anderson]

Which is like, a quarterback. Because he has to know conceptually what's going on with everything. Right at the line of scrimmage, the offense align the running back, the receiver. So that's quarterback brain.

[Ders]

Yeah, Ders is definitely the quarterback.

[Blake Anderson]

There's is the quarterback.

[E]

Yeah, Quarterback. I like that.

[Blake Anderson]

Quarterback brain. We gotta use it, bro.

[E]

I don't want to out Fluti. You remember his rider when he came on the pod, though?

[Blake Anderson]

What?

[E]

Remember his, like, rider? Like, the things he wanted us to have for him? What is it, five hour energy and starburst? I was like, bro, I like Fluty.

[Ders]

He's stone. That's like the most stoner thing ever.

[Blake Anderson]

But he's. I don't think he is at all. I think he's anti stone.

[Ders]

I. I believe it.

[Blake Anderson]

He's, like, full. What is it? Eugenics?

[Ders]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Him and Frank Thomas, bro, your girlfriend

[E]

light into no low T around those guys.

[Ders]

We were. We were grilling him about that because when we did the super bowl show, I. We took our testosterone test, and I scored the lowest, unfortunately, but I took it early. I was tired. But. Yeah. So we were like, yo, maybe. Maybe get me on a cycle or something.

[E]

But you just become the third guy in the commercials.

[Blake Anderson]

Hey, hey, Doug.

[Ders]

I'm in a canoe.

[Blake Anderson]

Seriously, bro. All right. Welcome to games with names. Today we are looking at game four of the 2022 NBA Finals.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Between the warriors and Celtics with Blake Anderson from Workaholics himself.

[Ders]

I'm hyped. I'm so juiced. I needed this in my life. As a Warriors fan, I actually watched it last night, and it brought me back to a. Just such a happy place.

[Blake Anderson]

It did it.

[Ders]

I think 2022 might have been the greatest year ever.

[Blake Anderson]

Why?

[Ders]

I feel like, you know, we were, like, just kind of, like, hot out of, like, Covid. So, like, I was done with, like, just doing puzzles all day. We were back in the streets. Like, sports were firing on all cylinders. We had, like, the year before to clear all the air, and we were just back. We were back at it.

[Blake Anderson]

Boy, were we. I just remember as soon as, like, the regulations and everything left, there was, like, a renaissance. Everyone was just getting hammered. People were fighting at stadiums. People didn't know how to react to people. Yeah. It was, like, a fun time.

[Ders]

Yeah. I mean, I was just, like, for a year, just listening to, like. Like, Rush and doing puzzles. That was. That was it. So once the. Once the chains came off, I was ready to party.

[Blake Anderson]

Perfect parties. I mean, geez.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

In one sentence, why'd you pick this game?

[Ders]

Steph Curry is my battery.

[Julian Edelman]

Steph Curry is your battery?

[Ders]

Yes. He's, like, just watching him again, like, I don't think Steph really looks back on his career because it's not time yet. He's not done yet.

[Blake Anderson]

Still going.

[Ders]

But, like, and neither do I. So that, as a fan, I don't really, like, look at what he's done. But when I watch vintage Steph Curry, it's so invigorating. Like, he is just, like. He's just the man, dude. He's the man. He makes me feel more alive when I watch him.

[Blake Anderson]

Is this the greatest game of all time?

[Ders]

This game? It's so hard to pick one with Steph. Like, he has so many great games, but I like this game a lot because you can just sense the fear the Celtics have of Steph becoming Stephen.

[Blake Anderson]

What is the greatest game of all time? Any sport? Hmm.

[Ders]

That's a really. That's a. That's a. That's a puzzler. The greatest game of any sport.

[Blake Anderson]

That's what this podcast is kind of like. It's kind of like you. During COVID we just sit and listen to Rush and try to figure the puzzle out of what the best game of all time is.

[Ders]

The best game of all time. I mean, look, the one that's Just coming to mind just because I think it will. Like, everybody, as people from the United States might be able to agree. Like, remember the. In the Olympics when it was the Steph Curry game against France? That game was pretty sick.

[Blake Anderson]

Steph Curry and LeBron.

[Ders]

And LeBron finally had a chance to root for LeBron. Like, of course I'm a LeBron hater. Sports wise, I love LeBron. I think he's. Well, I think Steph's the goat. But LeBron is one of the greatest, if not the greatest basketball player, athlete of all time. But I have never got to root for him.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I mean, that's what's been really cool about all this. Baseball World Baseball Classic, The Olympics with the hockey team in the future, or the Spring Olympics coming up with the basketball. Spring Olympics, Summer Olympics.

[Ders]

Spring Olympics would go off. It's just like flower picking.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, it'd be sick. But you get to. You get to root for guys you normally hate.

[Ders]

Yes. That's the beauty of it is. That's what. That's why I kind of get bummed that, like, All Star Games across the. The board with all sports are kind of like losing luster. But like, back in the day, All Star Games as a kid, like, that was. You got to root for people that you admired or hated. They were like the opposite end of the. You know, they were on other teams. So it was just like a cool moment where people came together. That. That's what life should be about, 1,000%. Yeah. Coming together.

[Blake Anderson]

Now, take us through your sports fandom. You're from the Bay.

[Ders]

I am.

[Blake Anderson]

Who are your teams?

[Ders]

I am a 49er, Oakland athletic warrior Shark. That's. That's it.

[Blake Anderson]

That's almost kind of like a. A Long island person that likes the Giants and Mets. The Mets. That's kind of weird because I'm a big guy, too. I'm a West Bay kid.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

You're Concord, where De La Salle was absolutely. The elite high school that everyone heard about.

[Ders]

We beat him in improv, though. We did beat him in improv.

[Blake Anderson]

You had an improv against the team?

[Ders]

Yes, we had an improv. Devil Mountain Improv League. Mount Diablo. Yes. Or how we say it. Diablo. Mount Diablo.

[E]

We got to hear more about this league. That's crazy.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

So you guys just sit in improv against each other.

[Ders]

You would go to the schools and you would do an improv show, like Whose Line Is It Anyways? Or whatever. So we pulled up to De La Salle. See, this is how gangster we were, dude. So I was pretty Good at improv, Right?

[Blake Anderson]

Clearly you guys have improv.

[Ders]

Yeah. We would pull up to schools, like, whether it's like Ignatio Valley or De La Salle. And people at their schools would be there, like, with signs for us, for Clayton Valley, because they were like, you know, like, Blake and Teddy and Kyle are really funny.

[Blake Anderson]

Wow.

[Ders]

Yeah, we. We flipped.

[Blake Anderson]

But isn't acting so subjective? How do they grade it?

[Ders]

No, no, you. You watch the Oscars, man. It's. It's competition.

[Blake Anderson]

It's.

[Ders]

You have to approach acting not as an art. It is a sport. It is a sport.

[E]

Some chalamet brain right there.

[Ders]

I love that there's winners and there are losers.

[F]

Is there. Is there a trophy or belt?

[Ders]

There was a trophy, actually. What you would win is a bottle of Goldschlager. And yes, we weren't. We weren't legal. We. We weren't allowed to drink it. And actually James Fester took the bottle and he threw it out of a van because he didn't want us drinking it. So pissed about that, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

You guys literally got a bottle of gold dust.

[Ders]

Gold. We could have siphon the gold and like, made money or something. The fact that James threw it out the van was absolutely. It like, broke my brain. I was so mad at him, but he was so against underage drinking. And shout out to James.

[Blake Anderson]

Shout out. That's probably the best thing.

[Ders]

Yeah, like, honestly, you're a good dude. But like, I wanted to drink that Goldschlager so bad. It's a great. It's cinnamon flavor.

[E]

It's.

[F]

It's full of golden schlog. Is there uniforms? Like, I'm really. I can't get past this improv team.

[Ders]

Our school did have uniforms. Yeah, we had like, red jerseys. You could, like, you could choose what type you want. You could have like a basketball, like. Like a tank top. You could. I went with soccer. It was really cool. Dude, shout out. Tom. Tom Wills, my. My theater teacher.

[Blake Anderson]

Let's go. Tom Wills guy was a gangster. Did you play any other sports or. Or anything other sports? I mean, put that in the sport category.

[Ders]

Theater sports. Theater sports.

[Blake Anderson]

Theater sports.

[Ders]

I. I grew up playing soccer.

[Blake Anderson]

Soccer?

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah. And I did a little bit of baseball, but I was. I wasn't good. I was bad at baseball.

[Blake Anderson]

So what position in soccer?

[Ders]

I was actually a fullback. I played defense.

[Blake Anderson]

Defense.

[Ders]

And then, you know, as you get older, they started move me up to like sweeper because I could cover a lot of ground. But I wasn't. I. I kind of would get scared when I got to the goal. Like, I didn't know how to put the ball in the net.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

But I could take it all the way up the field.

[Blake Anderson]

You just couldn't finish it.

[Ders]

Yeah. Just like then I'd be like, what do I do now? Just kind of kick it out of bounds.

[Blake Anderson]

Kind of like the fast kid from D2 Mighty Ducks who had all the speed but he couldn't stop or score.

[Ders]

Yes, exactly.

[Blake Anderson]

So. Yes.

[Ders]

Yeah, I was pretty fast.

[Blake Anderson]

That's Rodriguez. Rodriguez.

[Ders]

Yeah. I was pretty fast for a while. And then I don't know if I'm fast anymore, though now, now that I'm a grown man, I don't think I'm that fast.

[Blake Anderson]

What's up with Oakland losing every sports team?

[Ders]

It truly breaks my heart. I don't. It makes me so sad when I, when I think about it. It just breaks my heart because I feel like, what's going to happen to Oakland? Like, it's losing its entire identity. It's so sad. Who is? It's like, it's like ripping the heart out of the bay. Like it's Oakland and San Francisco and that. That is what it is. And the fact that there's no teams left in Oakland is just so sad. Like, what's going to happen besides it turned into like a weird, like, artist community or it just goes away.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, it's. It, it's a sad thing because I, I mean, I was a West Bay kid and I was Diners Giants, but everyone always had love for the A's. It may have been the Hat. May have been. You know what I mean?

[F]

All time.

[Blake Anderson]

All time Hat. And the Warriors, Oakland come across the bay to the San Fran. Have you been to that arena? The new one? I haven't been to the new arena.

[Ders]

Is it good? I have Chase. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

It's sick.

[Ders]

It's not Oracle, though.

[Blake Anderson]

It's not Oracle.

[Ders]

Oracle was like. I, I, it's the same thing with like all the new arenas is like to me, I describe them as. They kind of feel like airports, you know?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Because you can self check out and do all the crazy.

[Ders]

Exactly.

[E]

Hit the Hudson News.

[Ders]

Exactly. They. It just doesn't feel like alive, like in it. Like it's part of the city or the town or whatever. It just. Yeah, but the Roots. Do you, do you mess with the Roots? The soccer team?

[Blake Anderson]

I'm more of a Revs guy.

[Ders]

Okay. Cool.

[Blake Anderson]

Cool guy. Revolution. Shout out the Quakes.

[Ders]

Yeah, Quakes down for them. But yeah, the. Oh like Oakland roots play at the Coliseum. Like so at least it's not like, man.

[Blake Anderson]

Completely deserted the Coliseum, bro. I played again. I got to play in the Coliseum.

[Ders]

You did? Doing what? Football. Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm like, I forgot where I was. That's right, because the Raiders used to play there.

[Ders]

I'm like, what it. Because I played, like, a. Like a celebrity softball game there. I'm like, did you do, like, a celebrity softball.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I forgot.

[Ders]

I forgot that football team also played there.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that. I mean, it was. There was a true home field advantage in Oakland, man. You. My mom wore the jersey. Almost got killed.

[Ders]

Oh, my gosh. Dude, it was so sick how, like, the baseball diamond would be in the middle of the football field. Like, that was so special.

[Blake Anderson]

It was special, but it was terrible for the athletes. What was the deal?

[Ders]

Were the groundskeepers just like, fuck it?

[Blake Anderson]

No, it's because they were. They were in both seasons.

[Ders]

They're like, yo, they're playing, you guys. Wrap it up.

[Blake Anderson]

Wrap it up.

[Ders]

Eggs have to play tonight.

[F]

Yeah, but hockey and basketball can do it.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, but you can't put, like, sod grass on the dirt because it'd be a looser grass.

[Ders]

So then.

[Blake Anderson]

Then you could blow out a knee or something.

[Ders]

Okay, I guess I see that. Or just man up, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

Or just man up. Or just man up. Or just man up. But if you get a little. A little raspberry from the dirt, some could say that's man enough.

[Ders]

You're damn right.

[Blake Anderson]

Some could say that's manning up.

[Ders]

That's cool, man.

[Blake Anderson]

What's your. What's your.

[Julian Edelman]

Mount Rushmore of the Bay athletes?

[Blake Anderson]

You're saying just the Bay.

[Ders]

Just the Bay area.

[F]

Clam chow.

[Blake Anderson]

Matt Dre. What is the.

[Ders]

The E40. Absolutely. Look, I. I think of people, so. Yeah, I'll say. E40. Steph Curry, Ricky Henderson.

[Blake Anderson]

Ricky.

[Ders]

Who's gonna get. I'll go. I'll go. Mac Dre. For sure.

[Blake Anderson]

Mac Dre.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That's a good list.

[Ders]

Oh, dude, I love Joe. I love Joe.

[Blake Anderson]

I was a Joe Guy.

[Ders]

Oh, me too, Joe. Joe Montana was the absolute goat. But I also really loved Ronnie Lot. Who didn't?

[Blake Anderson]

Guy played a regular season with his pinky cut off.

[Ders]

I know. That's real Bay.

[Blake Anderson]

Real crazy. That's real cray.

[Ders]

That's real cray.

[Blake Anderson]

Now, how do you be a Niners fan when you're from the East Bay just because the Niners were that sick?

[Ders]

It's just how my father raised me.

[Blake Anderson]

Raise your. Yeah, that's how it goes.

[Ders]

If you look at. There's like, he was a good dad. Like that like, he would dress me up in all. In all Niner stuff. Put like a Budweiser in my hand. There's plenty of, like, Mr. Anderson rules. Yeah, yeah. There's plenty of photos of me just like head to toe, Niners gear with a beer and I'm three.

[Blake Anderson]

I missed the 90s.

[Ders]

Yeah, it was good.

[Blake Anderson]

I missed the 90s. Especially in those old Niners. Old Niners gear was sick. He probably had the gold jacket. Remember the gold.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a. That's mando. Mando, man. You gotta have the gold jacket.

[Blake Anderson]

Is there. Is there a celebrity BAE chat group, like a Bay celebrity chat group that you're in or anything?

[Ders]

You know?

[Blake Anderson]

Like, are you fans with. With any other.

[Ders]

I like. There's no group. There should be a Bay Area group chat. That actually would be really dope. Like, from time to time, like, Andy Samberg will hit me up because he's Berkeley. Like, I'm homies with, like, Bay Area rappers, like Pilo and all that. But that's mostly just, like, through, like, dms. Not. There's not like a Bay Area, like, group text, which would be off the chain.

[Blake Anderson]

We need to get it going.

[Ders]

I know.

[Blake Anderson]

I might join it, too.

[Ders]

That would be cool.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

You guys got to be the starters.

[Blake Anderson]

I gotta start it.

[Ders]

Should we just.

[Blake Anderson]

I can be the starter because I have too much Boston now influenced.

[Ders]

Yeah. What's the deal?

[Blake Anderson]

Like, I still love. I mean, I grew up loving the Niners. Giants. Yeah, Warriors. Until they got good.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Because I left when they got good. I went to college and then. Then I moved to Boston and then like, I. I was gonna stay up until 12 o' clock to watch a game.

[Ders]

I know that.

[Blake Anderson]

It's so crazy watching sports on the East Coast.

[Ders]

It's insane.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, you forget how nice it is out here that you can, like, go to dinner after football's done.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Out there, you're. You're on the couch all day long, maybe get a brunch in, but you're on the couch all day long watching football.

[Ders]

Doesn't sound terrible.

[Blake Anderson]

I know. But maybe, you know, Sunday, you get a nice Sunday dinner with the family. Seven, eight o'.

[Ders]

Clock.

[Blake Anderson]

You do that here.

[Ders]

I think I'd rather watch live sports than whatever the fuck I'm watching on YouTube at night. Like, now I just go down a hole of, like, what's the best frozen food at Trader Joe's. It's like, what am I doing? What am I watching?

[E]

Those hash browns.

[Ders]

I think it's the, like, the Indian Food. Oh yeah, like the butter.

[Blake Anderson]

I like the tiki masala burritos they got.

[Ders]

Yeah, I'm still have them kind of fire. Yeah there's they're here. I don't think they discontinued. Sometimes they like find glass in their food. Yeah, it's chill.

[Blake Anderson]

It was the chile verde green burritos. Insane. What's up?

[Ders]

You know what's up.

[Blake Anderson]

I used, you know, ball, email ball.

[E]

Trader Joe's ball.

[Blake Anderson]

I heard about that. Which Swartzen was talking about it.

[E]

Yes.

[Ders]

Dude, he pulled up. Legend. Love that guy. Literally one of the funniest stand up comedians of all time.

[Blake Anderson]

He is a funny MFer dude.

[Ders]

Very funny. And like, and actually, you know, it was like a booze cruise. But Swartzen's like straight and narrow now, thank God.

[Blake Anderson]

Because of his health. Yes, because of his health. He wanted to let everyone know it's not because he did anything is because of his health.

[Ders]

Yes. And we're all happy for him.

[Blake Anderson]

Very happy.

[Ders]

And he was good on the cruise. He, he stayed. He was like, kind of like the spirit guide. Like he, he, he knew what he was talking about.

[Blake Anderson]

Shaw.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

The day before Shaman.

[E]

Too much.

[Blake Anderson]

Iranian guy. Got a word guy.

[Ders]

He. The day before we had to leave, he like took me aside and he's like, just so you know, if you're not off the ship by seven, they will beat the out of you. Like, take it seriously. Like, get out of here. Be ready to go. And I was like, that's cool because I would have slept in for sure, 1,000%.

[Blake Anderson]

You gotta.

[Ders]

So I spent the whole last night just like, stressing, like, packing, like at 3:00am like, oh, God, they're gonna kill me. I'm gonna get left in Mexico, which wouldn't be terrible right now. We pulled up during that. Oh, like, when the whole cartel thing was going down. Like, my mom's, like, texting me, my dad's texting me. Like, are you sure it's okay to go to Cozumel or whatever? And I'm, like, looking at cnn, but you don't really get any sort of, like, what's it called?

[F]

News updates.

[Ders]

You don't get any sort of news. Give me some answers. No. What's it? Reception,

[Blake Anderson]

man.

[Ders]

You get news. They're like, hey, beer bongs on the deck. You get news. You get news. No. No reception. So I'm like, I don't. I don't know. We're just going to go. And we. It was. It was lit. Senior frogs was popping off, dude. Sure, there were armed guards everywhere in the streets with machine guns. But that, to me, that feels safe.

[Blake Anderson]

And it brings the excitement up. Yeah, it brings the excitement.

[Ders]

Get these guys to do a sh.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, come on, dude.

[E]

Senior frogs. We're all family. Come on now.

[Ders]

Dude, I love senior frogs.

[E]

Alimer.

[Ders]

It's the best.

[Blake Anderson]

So what is this comedy cruise you guys? Do you guys go on a cruise and everyone. Do you perform on the cruise?

[Ders]

We did. We did two live podcasts, and then it's basically just like, drinking games. And then we got a ton of, like, really awesome standup comedians and a couple musical acts as well.

[Blake Anderson]

That sounds awesome, dude.

[Ders]

I was like, of dreading it because I'm like, oh, we're trapped on a boat with, like, fans who could be insane.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

But everybody who came on the ship, like, was so cool, man. It just was like. It was a great time. You know when you're, like, around people and everybody's just like, the vibes are good. And you just come out of it being like, yeah, man, this can work. Yeah. Like, people can be cool and it can rock and we can all just be happy. Yeah, it. It was very. It was very uplifting.

[Blake Anderson]

That sounds so fun. How was food?

[Ders]

Food was mid.

[Blake Anderson]

Never been. Never been on a cruiser.

[Ders]

Honestly, I didn't eat that much. I just had, like, pot stickers here

[Blake Anderson]

and there was a. Dude that's a. So you can never. You can't fuck up a pot sticker. I mean, there's good pot stickers and there's bad pot stickers, but Even a bad pot sticker is like a size of pizza. It's good.

[Ders]

Exactly. So it'd be like, I'd be passing, and I say, oh, pot stickers. And just handful. And then other than that, it was like buzz balls and beer.

[E]

Hell yeah, man.

[Blake Anderson]

Just getting lit, dude.

[Ders]

V. V lit.

[Blake Anderson]

V lit Now. Now. Can you smoke on those things?

[Ders]

You can't, which is crazy. I think there might be smoking cruises maybe. Or like, you just wait till you get to Mexico and then it's just bong rips and then. And then you're back. It's mostly edibles.

[Blake Anderson]

It's edible edibles and fry pens.

[Ders]

Yeah, people. But they even like the pens.

[Blake Anderson]

They're trip on pens. How are they gonna see you outside? I see. I'm picture. I never on a cruise. I'm picture.

[Ders]

Me neither.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, you. You weren't there.

[Ders]

I wasn't there, bro. If you saw me, you didn't see me.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm thinking of Titanic where they got a lot of time outside on the deck. And it's outside at night. They're smoking a lot of time off boat in Titanic. They were bong Ricky or something, dude.

[Ders]

Wait, is that. This is, you know, like most. The iceberg is like, below.

[E]

It's like.

[Ders]

Nah, that one's small, dude. Ah, I think it's bigger on the bottom, dude. Now just go around it.

[Blake Anderson]

All right. We're going around it.

[Ders]

Yeah. Sick.

[Blake Anderson]

Just driving it like it's a little cut supreme. Back up, back up.

[Ders]

We hit the berg.

[Blake Anderson]

We hit the berg. Ghost ride the ship.

[Ders]

Damn. Ghost ride the ship. Okay. We could throw a bay area cruise called Ghost ride the ship right there. Like, honestly, E40.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, I'll hologram Mac. Dre, we'll throw in Mac Mall. Too short will be in there. Too cheesy.

[Julian Edelman]

We'll bring Jerry Rice.

[Blake Anderson]

He's in Joe Montana. Well, the hologram of Dwight Clark. Howie Long.

[Ders]

This is awesome. Who's captaining the ship? Clay Thompson.

[Blake Anderson]

He loves the ocean.

[F]

He loves the ocean.

[E]

He goes.

[Blake Anderson]

He.

[Ders]

He.

[Blake Anderson]

To drive to work on a boat.

[Ders]

I know. And then he started riding a bike.

[E]

That's sick, not school.

[Ders]

Dude. I honestly. I know that. That that cruise would sell out so quick.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm getting straight one 106kmel Summerfest vibes, dude.

[Ders]

949wild 9wild. 949KISS FM 98.1 get at me.

[Blake Anderson]

Renell in the morning. Can't go wrong with Renell in the morning.

[Ders]

Raised me. Raised me.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, my God, the oldies. Look at Captain Clay.

[E]

There's our captain.

[Ders]

I love him. You know what? I might have to take back Dre off just to put Clay on my mountain Rushmore, dude, I hate that I'm saying that, but I love Klay Thompson with all my heart. I love you, Clay. You are a great person.

[F]

We did a commercial with Clay and his people sent a deck, like a five slide deck on how much he loves the ocean.

[E]

That was it.

[F]

That's all it was, was just pictures of him on the ocean. Like this. Being like, clay loves the ocean because it's wet. Play loves the ocean because he eats the food from it.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Dude, five pages.

[E]

I love that.

[Ders]

Dude.

[Blake Anderson]

Shout out to Anta his shoes onto the Chinese brand. Boom. I think they're. They're paying them, like, $30 million a year for them.

[E]

They say they might get stuff now, too.

[Blake Anderson]

See the rumors? That's smart.

[Ders]

I love that.

[Blake Anderson]

Why retire in Florida when you can just go to China, do Chinese food?

[Ders]

Florida of Asia.

[Blake Anderson]

Duh.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I thought that was Vietnam.

[Ders]

Yeah, you're right.

[E]

You're right, you're right.

[Ders]

Vietnam is definitely the Florida.

[Blake Anderson]

Or Thailand's in there, too. Thailand could be like the Bahamas. Dude, I'm dying to go to South. South Asia. Everyone that goes to South Asia say it says it's so cheap. It's awesome. Food's great.

[Ders]

I'm, like, afraid to go there because I think I'd like it too much. And that'd be like one of those, like, just, like, white hermit crab men.

[E]

Yeah, those expat crazy.

[Ders]

Just like. Here he comes. Pot stick.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know if they're called potsickers.

[Ders]

They're definitely called dumplings of some sort. Yeah, I think pot stickers is, like, an old word.

[Blake Anderson]

I. Yeah, I think that's.

[Ders]

I might be canceled off.

[E]

No, cancel the pot stickers.

[Blake Anderson]

I hope not.

[Ders]

My boy. My boyza. Tell me when the gyoza Tell me when to kill.

[Blake Anderson]

You could bay anything up.

[Ders]

Honestly. Honestly, you literally could. The Bay Area is so good at branding, it's crazy.

[Blake Anderson]

I still. I'll get in a wormhole, like you said. When you're on YouTube, I'll get in a wormhole. Just listen to E40 speak.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

What are you talking about?

[Ders]

Dude, he. Through my childhood, every CD in the back said, wait for E40's dictionary book of slang. Like, coming to bookstores. I don't think he ever dropped it.

[Blake Anderson]

He needs to do it.

[Ders]

Yeah, it's time.

[Blake Anderson]

I'd be a New York bestseller.

[Ders]

Oh, the top of the charts.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, my God.

[Ders]

Come on.

[Julian Edelman]

You Get a Yang.

[Blake Anderson]

One and only. Eat Gouda. Gouda. That white. Was that my ghetto report card? When that came out, I was rocking that in Ohio. People look at me like, what the. Are you listening to you?

[Ders]

That's so.

[Blake Anderson]

Everyone who's not from the Bay hates Bay music.

[Ders]

They used to. Yeah.

[E]

When we were kids.

[Ders]

Yeah. It infiltrated like, I feel like DJ Mustard. For what it's worth, he has a Bay Area sound, and he was kind of. But then again, I'm. I'm in such a California bubble. Yeah, I don't. I'm so west coast, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

See, I went when I went. I never left the West Coast. And I went to College. I was 19 in Ohio.

[Ders]

Swag.

[Blake Anderson]

And all the guys were from, like, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Texas, some from Ohio, and not no one. They're like, you guys are so weird. You guys are so weird. You guys say hell all the time. It was just like, no one with it. Now it's changed. It's become cool.

[Ders]

Er, yeah, but that was also what was cool about that, was the cool

[Blake Anderson]

of it that no one with it but us.

[Ders]

Exactly. We wore our weird. We're like, we're happy to be weird. That's kind of like what Mac Dre was like the poster child for. It was like, whoa, what's this, like, weird hip hop guy who's doing Molly and wearing huge sunglasses and still pretty active in gang culture as well. It's like, what the hell? Just. It didn't add up. It didn't make sense.

[Blake Anderson]

In Kansas City, KC Took out Dre, brought our guy.

[Ders]

It's crazy. Crazy.

[Blake Anderson]

Can you walk us through how you guys formed the workaholics group?

[Ders]

I mean, started in community college. That's where I met Orange. Orange Coast Community College. Go Pirates. Costa Mesa. The Bay of la.

[Blake Anderson]

Great mall.

[Ders]

Great mall.

[Blake Anderson]

Great mall.

[Ders]

I met Adam in community college in improv class. And it was kind of a moment where, like, you know, coming from my high school, I felt like I was pretty much the funniest guy at school. But then, like, you know, you go to college and people from other places and was like, whoa, this dude is actually really funny. Like, holy shit, maybe we should be friends. And kind of, like, talked to him and found out, like, he used to film stuff with his homies and make sketches back in Omaha. And then that's like, what me and my boy Kyle used to do in Concord. And it was kind of like, well, maybe we start shooting stuff together.

[E]

And

[Ders]

what, like, they end. Adam and Kyle ended up moving to. To Hollywood, and I Stayed back in OC and that's where Adam met Ders at Second City. And they started to film stuff. And it was kind of like, well, there's still this dude Blake in Orange county, who maybe we can get him in. Involved. So we just started shooting sketches and putting them on YouTube. Well, first it was MySpace.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

And, like, just having other.

[E]

Yeah, Tom. Top eight, baby.

[Ders]

Still top eight, baby. Yeah. It was just weird. It was. It was cool to be able to put because we, you know, we were filming stuff and just there was nowhere to show it. Public access, maybe, like, but nobody's watching that. But then when you started with the Internet and YouTube, like, you started getting views, people started to, like, watch you. It was like, holy. Like, this. Maybe this is the way.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. I mean, pioneers.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Low key. Low key. Very pioneer y.

[Ders]

It was. We. We. It was very. Too short in that way. We got it out of the trunk, man. We got. We really independent hustled, you know, it

[Blake Anderson]

was funny because when you. When you brought up, like, when you met Adam and he was like, you were the funniest guy at your school, and he, like, then you. You meet people from other schools. It reminded me of when, you know, when I went to college and you're playing football and you're like, I was the baddest in my high school. Then you see some other dude, you're like, oh, that motherfucker. He was a baddest high school in his high school. And then you, like, it creates almost like a cool competition. Steel on steel versus steel versus steel. That makes everyone better.

[Ders]

Yeah, dude. Like it. I kind of expected myself to not like Adam because it's like, wait, this guy maybe is funnier than me. Like, but it wasn't that. It was like, oh, like, what if we combine forces? What if we flick up and, like, make. Make something together? Yeah. And that's where it was like, oh, cool, man. That's. That's what it's all about. Like, thank God I didn't go to the community college in the bay. Dvc.

[Blake Anderson]

Dvc. I went to csm.

[Ders]

Yeah. I felt like I just would have probably just been with my. My same homies from high school and. And not expanded my horizons. So taking that sort of small leap to go to Costa Mesa was actually a pretty. A pretty big jump in my life.

[Blake Anderson]

1,000%.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That's awesome.

[Ders]

Yeah, man. It's cool.

[Blake Anderson]

Did you guys actually live in that house?

[Ders]

We did, yeah. We lived in Van Nuys together. That's the house we shot Workaholics in so me. Adam Kyle, who's Carl the drug dealer and he's the director of most of the workaholics, has since gone on to do Happy Gilmore, too. Shout out.

[Blake Anderson]

To shout out.

[F]

He directed Jules in the commercial.

[Blake Anderson]

He directed me in the that's Rising commercial.

[Ders]

Yes. I remember we were grilling him because Kyle, like, doesn't know any sports at all. It was like, dude, like, come on, man. This is like a cool opportunity.

[Blake Anderson]

It was fun. I think we had. I was on a big letter or something. There's like a big Verizon sign with what's her name? The funny SNL chick.

[Ders]

Oh, Kristen Wiig.

[Blake Anderson]

[Ders]

A Verizon commercial.

[E]

Oh, Cecily Strong.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah, Very funny. That's cool, man. How was Kyle? Was he.

[Blake Anderson]

He was cool. No, he was. He was really cool.

[Ders]

Too laid back.

[Blake Anderson]

No. You know, you, as an athlete, when you go on sets of things, you don't know if you're getting everyone's real, how they are with the actor.

[Ders]

Right, Right.

[Blake Anderson]

Because they're still like, oh, this guy's an athlete.

[Ders]

Right?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. That was it.

[Ders]

Dude. Look at you.

[Blake Anderson]

That's. That's all cgi.

[F]

Is that the Coliseum?

[Ders]

You weren't there.

[Blake Anderson]

Nah, that's. That's all green screen, baby.

[Ders]

Damn.

[Blake Anderson]

That's Hollywood magic. Movie magic.

[Ders]

That is a real letter, though, right?

[Blake Anderson]

Dude, we were. We had to do our thing on a big ass. Like, letters like my. I was Donald Ducking.

[Ders]

It's like Sesame street full. Have you done Sesame Street?

[Blake Anderson]

No.

[F]

Max, the Cookie Monster doesn't eat cookies anymore, though.

[Blake Anderson]

Eats vegetables, I think.

[F]

Yeah.

[Ders]

That's ridiculous.

[F]

It used to be a country.

[Blake Anderson]

You have the kids. You kind of get it.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Because the sugar does. It is addicting for these little.

[Ders]

Hey, man, that's. That's my biggest cross to bear is sugar.

[Blake Anderson]

Sugar, even. Sugar Fiend.

[Ders]

Oh, man, I love sugar.

[Blake Anderson]

What's your favorite sugary thing?

[Ders]

I love, like, sour candy. Oh. Like, I just will smash, like, Sour Patch Kids. But I. I go deep, man. It's bad watermelon.

[Blake Anderson]

I was always a sour punch person. I like sour punch way better than Sour Patch. Yo.

[Ders]

They used to have these things Called punchies. They were like the cut up ones.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I, I just like the. I liked it better. I thought they were a little sweeter.

[Ders]

They look. That's a good product. I'm not gonna dog on that. I'm not gonna dog on that at all.

[Blake Anderson]

The sweet father.

[Ders]

Oh yeah. So good.

[Blake Anderson]

You're the sweet for the sugar dad.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm watching those right now with my kid.

[Ders]

Star Wars.

[Blake Anderson]

Star Wars.

[Ders]

Watching all Star wars from, from the, the news.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, we're starting from chronological order or from the timeline.

[Ders]

I'm sorry.

[Blake Anderson]

So we started episode one, two, three.

[Ders]

That's a bummer, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

She's into it.

[Ders]

Really?

[Blake Anderson]

I wasn't that crazy into it as a kid, but it's been fun to get into it.

[Ders]

I loved Star Wars. I was like all in when I saw Chewbacca. I'm like, yeah, it's, it's.

[Blake Anderson]

It's fun to re. Watch them in order.

[Ders]

Oh yeah, no, those, those movies are cool. Like, I like the pod racer one.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. And she's so like infatuated. Like, wait, so Anakin's bad because he wanted to save his wife?

[Ders]

Dang.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, I mean, the darks, like learning the, the way of the Sith. She's like, but that's saving his wife.

[Ders]

Dang, that's heavy.

[Blake Anderson]

It wasn't that heavy. I was like, yeah.

[Ders]

Then why are you crying while you're talking about it? I just like the pod races. Okay, what about Jar Jar? In or out on Jar Jar Binks. She.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't think she really cared about him. I don't. She was all about.

[Ders]

She.

[Blake Anderson]

I think she fell in love with the love because she's nine, turning 10 and like Padme and Anakin story and.

[Ders]

Yeah, and she.

[Blake Anderson]

And there's a meme going around with the kids about Darth Vader with this helmet off. So she's like super infatuated with like, wait, this guy's hand. He's like good looking and Darth Vader's ugly. And then we saw when he gets all burned up, she goes, oh, yeah. That's how he becomes Darth Vader.

[Ders]

Yeah. And he's. He probably started eating candy too, because he's a little heavy when he gets the.

[Blake Anderson]

He's a sugar dad.

[E]

He's a sweet father.

[Ders]

Father for sure. He's a sweet father. Absolutely.

[Blake Anderson]

Now you guys live in this house. You live in this house in Van Eyes.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Ben eyes.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Van noise. Did you guys like throw parties at this thing or anything and like say, hey guys, everyone's got to be up by three. We're filming tomorrow at. At noon.

[Ders]

Here's the deal. If you know anything about Southern California, you can get no chicks to go to Van Nuys. It's impossible. It's literally impossible. So we would be driving into LA to the improv to go see comedy. Adam would do stand up. Like, he'd kill the set. We'd be like, yo, we got a pool. Like, it's a pretty big house. They're like, all you have to do is just get on the freeway, drive for 30 minutes and go to Van Nuys and everybody be like, yeah, no, that's not happening. So the parties were just us playing beer pong together.

[Blake Anderson]

Standard.

[Ders]

It was cool.

[Blake Anderson]

It was young, 20s. That's what it was, right?

[Ders]

Yeah. But we could not get any sort of function going except for the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl. People would come out for Subi. We always threw really good super bowl parties.

[Blake Anderson]

Why? How?

[Ders]

Kegs, Kegs, kegs in a pool.

[Blake Anderson]

And pizza.

[Ders]

Oh, six foot sub wings, dude. Oh, well, I worked at Saco's Subs Shout out Westwood establishment, rip to Saco subs. But they would give me free sandwiches, so. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

So you were the food guy.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Tsakos was in the building.

[Blake Anderson]

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Not just a tee. The vintage sports team. You wore it everywhere until your bro stole it.

[Blake Anderson]

Now you're on ebay. And there it is. Same tea, same team.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

[Blake Anderson]

the one you wish you never sold.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

It has to be ebay. A lot of the pieces on this wall come from ebay. It's my go to spot for sports memorabilia shop.

[Blake Anderson]

Ebay for millions of fines each with the story. Ebay. Things people love. I love ordering for the group.

[F]

Yeah, he's very good.

[Blake Anderson]

Very good at very good. And thinking about everything and getting everyone. And when I see the order, when people are eating and if everyone is satisfied, feel so happy inside.

[Ders]

I see it. I see it in your eyes right now.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. I think food's my love language.

[Ders]

Hey, that for a lot of people, that's a very strong love language.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, you because I enjoy food. And when you see others enjoying the food. Like, that's sick.

[Ders]

It gets you going.

[E]

I never really asked, like, what's yours? Like, what's the secret to it? I just enjoy.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

And take part in. But, like, break it down for me.

[Ders]

What goes into, like, how some people, like, hear colors. I get you.

[E]

Like, you take us inside the mind of the master.

[Julian Edelman]

Your appetizers.

[F]

And not just with the types of food, but the amount you're like, oh, that one. Because I know that's going to be the winner.

[Blake Anderson]

It's just, you know, it's a refined thing over years of doing science.

[Ders]

What's your Mount Rushmore of appetizers? Oh, see, these are hard questions. That's like when you ask me what's the greatest game ever?

[Blake Anderson]

Like, I mean, an app. Okay. Healthy.

[Ders]

I'm saying.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, I'm just saying, because you always throw one healthy thing in there because there's always gonna be one person. Like, I'm a gluten free. You go with like a hummus plate of some sort.

[Ders]

Okay, okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Or with like the dipping vegetables in like a grilled pita or something. There we go. I'm a huge. I mean, mozzarella cheese sticks.

[Ders]

Oh, yes, Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

I used to poppers or whatever.

[Ders]

I used to eat them so fast that I choke on them. I threw up in a Chili's two separate times because I just. I just would inhale them and then they would get lodged and my mom would have to like, pull it out of my throat.

[E]

A cheese pull.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that's how good those are.

[E]

There's.

[Blake Anderson]

There's. You ever had Ospy Osprey's right down. There's like, it's an Italian joint around here in la and they have a, like this fancy mozzarella stick that my daughter loves. It's a provolone, like, circle, like cylinder.

[Ders]

Hello.

[Blake Anderson]

Or like whatever disc.

[Ders]

Hello.

[Blake Anderson]

And it has a good vodka on there. So I put that in like the mozzarella stick game.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Wings. I wing. Wings are always a killer. But I got to go. Three flavors. You always go with a barbecue, a buffalo, and then some sort of dry rub just to get everyone happy.

[E]

Absolutely.

[Blake Anderson]

Some people, you know, some people. Some people don't like them. I also, I. At an Italian joint, a pizza is an appetizer to me. So you get the smaller pizzas, one slice per person. Just so we're not rookies. We don't get full on the pizzas because we're in the pasta and the parm and, you know, the conte comes.

[Ders]

You just Said one of the most gangster ass things I've ever heard. You said a pizza is an appetizer.

[Blake Anderson]

To me, just as an appetizer.

[Ders]

That's gangster.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, if you're at the Italian joint, we're not at a pizza joint.

[Ders]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Blake Anderson]

We're not at a pizza joint. But the. Some of the Italian joints have, like, the thin pizzas. It's a good appetizer. Two salads, one kale, one Caesar. Caesar everyone loves. No anchovy. Can never have anchovy because there could

[Julian Edelman]

be a kid there.

[Ders]

The. The original Caesar was not made with anchovies.

[E]

No.

[Blake Anderson]

But it does have anchovy paste in it.

[Ders]

Okay. Hey, go off king.

[Blake Anderson]

What do you got?

[E]

That was a. That was a topic of conversation the other time we were having a Caesar.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

I didn't know that was it. Are you sure it's in the Newman's Own dressing?

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[E]

That's crazy. To me.

[Blake Anderson]

It's invented taste that makes it separate from ranch.

[E]

I still just can't wrap my mind around that.

[F]

You never see.

[E]

I know that it's in a Caesar. I know anchovies has at some point along the Caesar lineage became an ingredient, but no one ever like.

[F]

Yeah, it's in the dressing.

[E]

90 of the Caesars I eat don't have it.

[F]

Yeah, but it's in the dressing.

[Ders]

After you eat, it kind of like smell your breath. Yeah, you can smell.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that. That thing that makes it different than ranch.

[E]

That's also egg yolk.

[F]

In the Newman's.

[Ders]

Been saying Caesar is just ranch with the anchovies in it.

[Blake Anderson]

Pretty much, bro.

[F]

That's true.

[E]

I don't know. I digress. Keep going.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah. Dressing with some tags. Not as great as ranch, but it's pretty good.

[E]

Pretty good.

[F]

But it can be better than ranch in very specific instances.

[Blake Anderson]

No, it's not better than ranch. The only thing that's good in the Caesar that you think is better than ranch is the crouton.

[F]

Oh, I do love a crouton.

[E]

What about that thin? The Parmesan 2 is fire, too.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, guys, stop fighting.

[F]

Do you like. Do you like shredded? Do you like the big, like. Like slices of the parmesan?

[Ders]

Sprinkle Looks like a patch of skin.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Yeah. I don't know about.

[Blake Anderson]

I like that because then you got to use your fork and knife for salad.

[F]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

What are we doing here?

[F]

You're cutting the cheese on a Caesar. We've taken a wrong turn.

[Blake Anderson]

Sometimes the apps can go on for days.

[E]

The salad continue that Wait, you're only at three right now. We were three or four.

[Blake Anderson]

No, you got. I think you went.

[Ders]

Did five.

[E]

You did hummus.

[F]

You did hummus. Mozzarella sticks. Three types of wings.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Salad.

[Ders]

And a pizza.

[Blake Anderson]

And a pizza.

[E]

Pizza.

[Blake Anderson]

Pizza.

[E]

Blake, we got to get yours, man.

[Ders]

Blooming onion.

[F]

Ooh.

[Ders]

Come on.

[Blake Anderson]

Good. The sauce is everything.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah, it's the best. Like a. Probably like a Tex Mex egg roll. Wings, for sure.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, I forgot. Pot stickers are mine too.

[Ders]

Yeah. Gyoza, please.

[Blake Anderson]

Sorry.

[Ders]

Please. We've.

[Julian Edelman]

We've advanced.

[Ders]

And what else would be a.

[E]

I

[Ders]

mean, a really dope appetizer? I just like, like French onion dip with, like, potato chips.

[Blake Anderson]

Love.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Red Sox have unbelievable French onion dip.

[Ders]

Really?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. In the. In the boxes.

[Ders]

I've never been to a. The. I've never been to a Red Sox.

[Blake Anderson]

You gotta check it out. It's pretty tight.

[Ders]

It does seem pretty cool.

[Blake Anderson]

It's just so old. It's cool.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I love, like, that Wrigley, you know, they're in Wrigley in Green Bay. These, like. I old.

[Ders]

Really want to go to Green Bay.

[Blake Anderson]

Green Bay.

[Ders]

I think that would be a blast. I wanted to just, like, be on the back of some, like, big grizzled dudes. Harley. And just ride up to a Packers game. Game.

[E]

Like, have a bra, eat a casserole.

[Ders]

Yeah, that would be so fun.

[Blake Anderson]

All right, let's go back real quick.

[F]

I want one question about the house that you filmed. Did you charge production for that?

[Ders]

Well, that's kind of how we settled on filming. There is. You know, we. We shot basically a. A five episode, short. Short episode thing for YouTube. And that's what Comedy Central saw. And it was like, well, when. When we got greenlit to do the production, they're like, you know, where do you want to film it? And we're like, oh, we'll go take a look at houses and stuff. And we saw some that were cool, but we're like, hey, if we film at our house, will you pay the rent? And they're like, yeah. And we're like, we're shooting here.

[Blake Anderson]

Let's go.

[Ders]

We're shooting here.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean. Oh, yeah, that's smart to kill. Kill two birds with one stone.

[Ders]

Yeah. And we also, you know, we didn't know if we were going to get multiple seasons or whatever, so it was like, free rent free.

[E]

Yeah.

[Ders]

At least we get free rent for a year. So.

[E]

Talk about quarterback brain.

[Blake Anderson]

Let's go quarterback brain. And that's quarterback brain in the whole field.

[Ders]

Big Quarterback brain, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

All right, let's go back to time around where this game took place. This game took place June 10, 2022.

[Ders]

We love it.

[Blake Anderson]

We like to go over some of the pop culture. Jurassic World, Dominion was out. Number one movie.

[Ders]

I don't know that one.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't.

[F]

They're on Unwatchable.

[Blake Anderson]

I forgot.

[Ders]

Is that a Chris Pratt vehicle?

[E]

It might be.

[Ders]

Gotta be.

[Blake Anderson]

After the one where they went to San Diego. I got out. Remember they went to San 3.

[Ders]

Yep. That. I think that was my last one, too.

[Blake Anderson]

One was legendary.

[Ders]

Of course.

[Blake Anderson]

94. We were both kids.

[Ders]

Yeah. I, I, I saw it in the theater and I had to close my eyes through the second half because I was so scared.

[Blake Anderson]

Terrified.

[Ders]

Terrified. And I. Everybody at school was talking about it. So, like, I had to pretend like I. I saw, like I sat through it. But, like, literally, I watched it.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah.

[Ders]

Like, the Velociraptors were so real, dude.

[E]

If it ain't got Wayne Knight, I'm out my roll in Jurassic Park, Wait

[Blake Anderson]

for you by Future. And Drake, featuring Drake was number one song. Top Gun Mavericks saved the movie studios this year. Bob's Burger Movie, sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jim Carrey classic.

[Ders]

Wow.

[Blake Anderson]

All were in the box office. The bear winning time and the rehearsal all premiered this year.

[Ders]

Oh, great show. Love the rehearsal.

[F]

So good.

[E]

What's Nathan gonna do next? Is my question. I do something fire.

[Ders]

Love Nate.

[F]

He's so funny.

[Ders]

What's.

[Blake Anderson]

What's your favorite sports movie?

[Ders]

Rookie of the Year.

[E]

Brinkma.

[Blake Anderson]

Rosengartner.

[Ders]

Yes. Nice guy. Great film.

[E]

You see a great Busey vehicle?

[Blake Anderson]

What's. What, what's your dream role?

[Ders]

Oh, I think I would want to just, like, play like a. Like some kind of like a punk rocker. I want to like, just rock out.

[Blake Anderson]

You like punk rock?

[Ders]

Yeah, for sure.

[Blake Anderson]

Who's your punk rock band?

[Ders]

Probably Bad Brains. Yeah, I'm into, like, old school hardcore stuff like that. Burn style. Shout out to Turnstile. Those are the homies, too.

[Blake Anderson]

Is there a role you missed that you wish you would have got?

[Ders]

Just Joker. Yeah, just being the Joker.

[Blake Anderson]

You went for the Joker.

[Ders]

No, I lost the Heath Ledger.

[Blake Anderson]

I was thinking, if you ever move the other one with the other guy. Joaquin Phoenix.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

It's pretty big role too, I guess.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[F]

You want an Oscar?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

Oh, I got these.

[Ders]

Yeah, I would. That would be cool.

[Blake Anderson]

Jeez.

[E]

Wait, speaking of tv, but weren't you just on Celebrity Jeopardy, bro?

[Ders]

I was.

[E]

That was iconic. How'd it go? How was that?

[Ders]

I got in last place, but I answered the second most questions correct.

[E]

Volume shooter. Let's go.

[Ders]

I put up numbers, but I. I didn't know how to do the daily doubles. Man. I was really bad.

[Blake Anderson]

Were you going to mall? Were you going?

[Ders]

No, I was super skittish. I was like.

[Blake Anderson]

What was your daily double question?

[Ders]

The one that I missed that I like really bet on was the answer was Leif Erickson. It was a Viking question, which Ders is like Norwegian. And like I feel like it was set up for me, but I just. I couldn't summon Leaf Erickson. All I could think was Eric the red.

[Blake Anderson]

Eric the Red.

[E]

I don't remember that phone a friend category on Jeopardy. Yeah, that was combined.

[Blake Anderson]

What was that one? There's the Vikings show. How you. I was watching that for a while. There's like 10 Viking show. And they're all the same.

[Ders]

Yeah. Pretty legit, right?

[Blake Anderson]

They're all good, but they all have like the same characters too.

[Ders]

Yeah. All the like Von Ericson's and stuff.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ders]

It's hard to differentiate.

[Blake Anderson]

Did you go? Was it a true daily double?

[Ders]

I think that one might have been because I was. I had to catch up and if I would have got that one, I. I think I would have won.

[E]

I was a clicker. The clicker seems really hard too.

[Ders]

I was good at that. You know, I grew up. I grew up playing video games. So like my. My thumb is fast. Yeah. Like I can.

[Blake Anderson]

What was your video game of choice?

[Ders]

You know, played a lot of Contra growing up. Metal Gear Solid is probably the best game of all time. Smash Bros.

[Blake Anderson]

Smash Bros.

[Ders]

I play a lot of video games.

[Blake Anderson]

No first person shooters.

[Ders]

I did Modern Warfare a little bit, but like my brother was good at that.

[Blake Anderson]

And like two tweaker now. Yeah, you gotta be really adderalled out to like even to compete with a 10 year old anymore.

[Ders]

Yeah, I did like a Mountain Dew tournament where I was like linked up with this dude named Priesta. He's like a pro Xbox, like Modern Warfare player. And I couldn't be more proud of. Of the kid. Just like incredible. Like his parents were there. It's like, good for you, man.

[Blake Anderson]

He's working the claw.

[Ders]

Yeah, like he's.

[Blake Anderson]

Where he was doing.

[Ders]

I think he invented it, the claw.

[Blake Anderson]

Dude, anytime you see a kid with the claw, you just get out of the room.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Wait, let me see. How's that one go?

[Blake Anderson]

The claw is where they used both of these fingers for the triggers.

[Ders]

Yep.

[E]

Oh, instead of just.

[Blake Anderson]

And then. Yeah.

[Ders]

Instead of holding your controller like a normal human, they like hold it like this.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. And they claw and they use their index fingers for the joysticks.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

And so they can get these one. If you're using claw or keyboard. Get the fuck out. I'm playing with you. I'm an.

[Ders]

This kid was so nice at the game. Like, just incredible.

[Blake Anderson]

Like now everyone's on the keyboards.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

It's like cheating.

[Ders]

I don't know about that.

[Blake Anderson]

I've never done it.

[Ders]

I don't know about that life.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

I love proud video game parents. That rocks, dude.

[Ders]

Like, that is so cool. Like, could you imagine like punishing your kid and being like, get inside and play video games. Like cracking the whip on him. Like, what are you doing? Playing kick the can. You can't be a pro kick to can player. No.

[Blake Anderson]

Get your ass in there.

[Ders]

Go to war.

[Blake Anderson]

I want you to go do the rice buckets for 10 minutes.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Get your fingers strong. I want rice. Get the claw. Claw grip.

[E]

We need iron claw.

[Blake Anderson]

The, the 90s hand thing.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You got to do that in between games.

[Ders]

Drink a mountain Dew.

[E]

I need some gamer fuel, son.

[Ders]

Isn't that cool?

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, my God, that rocks.

[Ders]

Yeah, I love that.

[Blake Anderson]

All right, Jackie, let's jump into the game.

[E]

Should we talk about the Celtics real quick?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

51 and 31 this first year. The Ime Adoka era. Oh, yeah, the short era.

[Blake Anderson]

JB, what happened there? What happened?

[E]

Ime. Oh, boy. JB's fifth year in the league. JT's fourth. We kind of measured things around here by the Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, pre and post, all that notable assist. No, I do. At least Damon Stoudemire was on this staff. Will Hardy, the current coach of the Jazz is on this staff. And of course Joe Mazula, our man friend of the show was also on this staff. Marcus Smart, dpoi this year, he was locking everybody up. And then in the mid season, a trade that will change Celtics history forever. We got Derek White, baby, from the San Antonio Spurs. Shout out, Brad. Brad went out and got him. JT was balling out this year, averaging almost 27 a game. JB almost 24 a game. This was a. This was a heck of a Celtics team. Young guys first trip to the finals this year. So really, really coming together and gelling and making it work, baby. Won the east, beat the Heat, got to the finals.

[Blake Anderson]

What were your thoughts about these Celtics?

[Ders]

Didn't like him? Not really, no. We have hard for now, so I'm learning to like him. I. I'm a Tatum guy. I think Tatum's Dope. I also like Jalen. He's cool. I mean, when you beat a team because the warriors win this series, like you, I don't hold resentment because, like, so it's fine. They. Yeah, this is cool. Fine with me.

[Blake Anderson]

But it's like, almost I can. As a Bay Area person. When you're in the middle of a dynasty. Yes. Somewhat.

[Ders]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

And you look over probably to the east coast, where the West Coast. Everyone kind of takes the West Coast. Like, we're secondhand sports citizens and shit. I bet you there was some sort of like, oh, we're about to. Yeah, everyone talks about this being the class NBA. We're about to show them. Was there any of that? Kind of like the old time cell, you know? Was there any of that?

[Ders]

Yeah, you know, like. Well, like, weirdly, like, you know, living in la, there, of course, is like a ton of Celtics resentment. I never really held that. Like, I kind of grew up, like, thinking Larry Bird was really dope.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

But I.

[Blake Anderson]

We didn't know that, though.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Because we. We were so bad for so long.

[Ders]

Oh, terrible. I remember walking around Sun Valley Mall, you could buy season tickets to warriors games for $25. They were selling them out of binders. Yeah. Like, they were begging people. They were begging people to go to games.

[Blake Anderson]

I got my Spreewell jersey at a Ross dude for like eight bucks. Yeah, it was sick. And it was like. I think it was a little fucked up if it was at Ross. I think the lightning bolt was a little jacked up or something, but it was.

[Ders]

Honestly, I might have to kick Clay off and put Sprewell in my. My Mount Rushmore. Yes.

[E]

Is that why

[Blake Anderson]

love BD when he dunked them?

[Ders]

Oh, the dunk heard round the world.

[E]

Dude, that was over, what, AK47 or one of those dudes?

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[E]

All timer.

[Ders]

That was the best Duncan warriors history. There was a. Probably the second best Duncan warriors history was the. The. The. The series before this when Wiggins dunked on. I think it was Luca. Oh, it was a sick dunk, dude. That's when I was like, we're gonna win the chip, dude. Like, Wiggins is clicking. We got this dude, bro.

[E]

How insane was he that whole playoffs?

[Ders]

He.

[E]

It was unbelievable.

[Ders]

He was the second best player behind Steph. Like. And, you know, we were normally used to, like, Clay being the guy, but Wiggins, like, stepped up so hard.

[E]

It was insane, bro. Like, unstoppable. Hold on, we gotta look at this.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Have you done any crossover in Boston, like, comedy stuff? Have you ever hung out In Boston.

[Ders]

I have spent. I've been to Boston like, twice. I. I spoke out of college. I can't even remember what college. It. It was like, a while back.

[Blake Anderson]

There's like six.

[F]

Harvard, MIT maybe, I think.

[Ders]

Harvard, yeah.

[F]

It's not in Boston. It's just outside of Boston.

[Ders]

Spoke at Harvard, weirdly.

[E]

Some little school or something.

[Ders]

Yeah. They were asking me about appetizers. I was like, okay, sure. Yeah. No. And then I forget why. The other reason I was there, I think we. Oh, we went to Medford.

[Blake Anderson]

Medford.

[Ders]

And did the pod there.

[F]

Yeah.

[Ders]

And that was actually the first show. That's what we kicked off it, actually. We got Covid from there, like, immediately the first show out. But it was a great show. It was a blast.

[Blake Anderson]

Hey, Boston will give it to you, dude.

[Ders]

Boston's cool, man. I'm into it.

[Blake Anderson]

What's up with your thoughts on Jalen Brown and Tatum? You like Tatum?

[Ders]

I do like Tatum. Yeah. I think they're cool. I think that I.

[Blake Anderson]

They're not the Splash bros, though, huh?

[Ders]

No, I mean, they. Yeah, they don't have, like, they don't. They don't. They don't have traction for me. They're kind of like plain Jane. They need a hook.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Like, I know they're both ballers, for sure, but they're. And I guess I like that. Like, they're kind of unassuming, but there's something about them. Doesn't. Just. They don't. They don't got the hook.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, Jackie, why don't you break down the guys that do have the hook? Why don't we break down these Warriors?

[Ders]

Yeah. Now, come on, talk to them.

[E]

I gotta talk some warriors ball. 53 and 29. This was a year, like, no matter who was on the roster or what the record was, the doubt was still everywhere. Man, they hate. Like, all these guys are washed up. Steph can't do it anymore. Clay's been two injury. It was just like, hate, hate, hate everywhere. It was insane doubting them. Third year at the Chase Center. Started out so hot. 18 and 2. Steph. This was the year he broke the record for most three pointers in NBA history. Passed Ray Allen. Clay made his return. He'd been out for two years. The. The Achilles and the acl back to. I don't know how you come back from that. He's just a beast. Jordan pool breakout season. Everybody was a pool boy this year. 18.4 points per game. Coming out hot. He was like.

[Blake Anderson]

Did he left the team, though, right?

[Ders]

He did.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, this was. This is free. This one great. Draymond beat him up free right after

[E]

pre smack the training camp after this.

[Ders]

Yeah, we were running high and then Draymond punched pool and everything has been in shambles since.

[E]

Kind of an ADBC sort of thing.

[Ders]

It really was a fork in the road for. For everybody.

[Blake Anderson]

We'll be right back after this. Quick break.

[Blake Anderson]

On eBay, Every find has a story. Like, if you're looking for a vintage

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

sports tee, not just a tea. The vintage sports team. You wore it everywhere until your bro stole it.

[Blake Anderson]

Now you're on ebay, and there it is. Same tea, same team.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you, especially on ebay. Where else can you find that mint trading card? You search everywhere for your first car,

[Blake Anderson]

the one you wish you never sold.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

It has to be ebay. A lot of the pieces on this wall come from ebay. It's my go to spot for sports memorabilia shop.

[Blake Anderson]

Ebay for millions of fines, each with the story. EBay, things people love.

[E]

What a wild moment.

[Ders]

Absolutely.

[E]

As a Warriors fan, like, what do you. How do you even process that?

[Ders]

We, like, we could have ran it back, dude. We could have got five, but Draymond punched Jordan Poole at practice, and then they leaked the footage.

[Blake Anderson]

How do you leak the footage from practice?

[Ders]

Who did that?

[Blake Anderson]

I don't did that. I thought about that, like, at where I was at. If that was leaked, someone would have been missing.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Someone would have been killed.

[Ders]

Like, you got what you. You guys get in tiffs on a team. Right.

[Blake Anderson]

All day long.

[Ders]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

That should have never been exposed to the world. That was.

[Ders]

Because then you have to address it, like. Because then, like, it's a distraction. Yeah. And the Internet be like, why'd you let him hit you? Like, you're a. All this. And then, like, the. You know, it's just. It's changed.

[E]

I know.

[Blake Anderson]

It's like, whatever happens behind closed doors between teams should only be known by that 100.

[E]

I'm with you.

[Ders]

It's.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, and I. I. And I. I guarantee. I mean, Draymond, he gets a lot of backlash and all this stuff, but he's definitely the straw that stirs that drink on keeping the ship going. Because, you know. You know, Steph's not really. When he talks, everyone listens, but he's not talking all the time, probably, right? Clay, he's out, you know, doing Clay things, and he doesn't seem like a talkative guy. You need to have one guy like Draymond. This was, like, crazy to me, that whole thing that.

[Ders]

It. It was the one time I was like, I. I can't back Draymond anymore. I was like, I kind of wanted him off the team after that you

[Blake Anderson]

wanted him off the team.

[Ders]

Kind of did you thought pool is that good? It's just like you. I. I love Draymond. You know, he. You could stick him on anybody. I like watching him like stomp on Sabana chest and choke. Like kill everybody. But don't hit the homie.

[Blake Anderson]

Maybe the homie needed to get slapped.

[F]

Football's also a little different too. Here's footage of Julian fighting someone on his team.

[Blake Anderson]

That's Stefan Gilbert, his first AM pass. What are you doing? He was holding.

[Ders]

So.

[Blake Anderson]

So I wanted to show him what he was doing to me. Okay.

[Ders]

Okay. So you're the Draymond.

[Blake Anderson]

No,

[E]

no.

[Blake Anderson]

But you know, this kind of stuff happens at practice. We're professional athletes. We're competing.

[Ders]

Well, that's what's weird too, is like Draymond, anytime outside. Dude, what are you doing?

[Blake Anderson]

I ripped a dread out.

[Ders]

Oh, man.

[E]

I took one.

[Blake Anderson]

I taped it to the back of my helmet a day.

[Ders]

Shake them dreads. I like it.

[Blake Anderson]

That's one of my boys now, but.

[Ders]

Well, that's cool. Gilly.

[F]

Football's different.

[Blake Anderson]

Football's different.

[E]

Football.

[Blake Anderson]

Football is different.

[Ders]

Yeah. I don't know. I just like. And anytime Draymond's not on the court, he seems like the coolest normal cat. But like, I don't know. I also like that about him. When he gets on the court, he's absolute monster. He has no control.

[Blake Anderson]

Or he's. Maybe he's controlling his chaos.

[E]

This is true too. Maybe one of the all time love him if he's on your team. Hate him if he's not. Guys, he.

[Blake Anderson]

Maybe that guy.

[Ders]

Absolutely. And I was. I'm all in on money Green. But this year I was kind of. Or the year after this, I was like, dude, maybe we have to move on.

[E]

It's tough, man. Especially you're the guy, the aggressor. You punch the guy in the face and then you get to stay and they ship the other guy out. It's just wild.

[Blake Anderson]

I got a question for you. How do you think Clay feels being probably the second best shooter in the history of the game playing with Steph? Do you think he. Because when you watch those two play the Splash brothers for like eight, nine years, I mean, it was all day. Not just Steph. Clay was out there boxing that quick ass release dude, man, that would have been crazy.

[Ders]

The fact that they were both on the same team at the same time is absolute insanity. And most people are in agreeance that or agreement that Clay has a better like shot form than Steph.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Like, he's, like, a true, pure shooter. But I also. I think, like, as far as, like, what you're saying, like, the egos on the team are so in check. Like, everybody was just.

[Blake Anderson]

Just.

[Ders]

It's just a really, really special team. There's a reason they're a dynasty. Like, it's just, like. I couldn't ask for more as a fan. Like, everybody's humble. Everybody, like, felt like they were for each other, you know? Nobody. Steph is not the guy who's like, I'm the Goat. He never is that guy. He just lets his game talk for him. And I think everybody, like, follows in his greatness. So I don't know.

[Blake Anderson]

Who's the Steph Curry of comics?

[Ders]

Ooh, the Steph Curry of comics. I was gonna say Jim Carrey, but I don't. I don't know.

[Blake Anderson]

Love Jim Carrey.

[Ders]

Jim Carrey rocks. He just makes all his shots.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, then who's the Clay Thomas of comics?

[Ders]

The Clay Thompson of comics? The quiet, unassuming Will Forte.

[Blake Anderson]

I like that. Who's the Draymond Green?

[Ders]

Rodney Dangerfield.

[E]

No respect.

[Ders]

No respect.

[Blake Anderson]

These guys.

[Ders]

I. I have. I. I've hung out with Clay, like, pretty notoriously.

[Blake Anderson]

On the boat.

[Ders]

No, at, like, when they won the second championship, I. I went to the bar with all the team, and Clay got me in.

[Blake Anderson]

That was so cool.

[E]

Is that.

[Ders]

Oh, dude. The best. Just unreal. Unreal. Plays the man.

[Blake Anderson]

Now, before we move into the game, I'm gonna give you one more. One more chance to state your case. Why Steph Curry's the Goat.

[Ders]

I think that of this time, when there's so much stuff you can be distracted with and you can be so much of, like, a Persona and care about so many other things besides the game, I think Steph keeps, like, such a crazy good head on his shoulders, and he doesn't. He makes his teammates better. He just makes his teammates better. And that's what makes the greatest player of all time, is you. Not only are you the best, but you make everybody better. And that's what he does.

[Blake Anderson]

1,000. That's awesome, Case. And he's revolutionized the game. Now there's 73 pointers. A game is crazy. Literally.

[E]

Literally.

[Ders]

He's insane. And he's the most fun player to watch.

[Blake Anderson]

And he's humble. Great dad. Like, he's just a lovable dude.

[Ders]

He's the man to look easy.

[E]

So electric.

[Ders]

Love Steph Stepford List. Well, I think. I think. I think Kenny the Jet might have coined that. Oh.

[E]

Shout out. I don't know how I haven't heard that.

[Blake Anderson]

I love that. I love the jet.

[E]

Should we get a little lead up of this game?

[Blake Anderson]

Lead up.

[E]

All right, so coming in, the Celtics were the 2 seed in the East. Warriors were the 3 seed. Warriors got through Dallas in 5, Memphis in 6. Celtics on the other hand, 7 game series, back to back, Miami. So. So I did had to go through wars of attrition to get there. But in this series, we're talking about game four today. Celtics take game one, warriors take game two. Celtics win game three. So it's up two to one. This is a pretty pivotal game coming up here because you go up three to one in a seven game series.

[Ders]

Yep, I remember. I remember them all because the first ones I. I was watching publicly. And then after they lost game three, that's when I'm like, I gotta start watching these at home alone.

[E]

That's a big question. We love breaking. And you tell a lot about somebody, how they watch games or choose to watch games.

[Ders]

Yeah. Game one, I watched with homies at my friend's house, and the warriors were like, we're. We're winning that game. And then somehow the Celtics won. And it was like, what the hell? What the hell just happened?

[Blake Anderson]

Quick.

[Ders]

Game two, you were expected to win. And then game three, I watched at Burger She Wrote. Great. Smash. Yeah. I watched it publicly. I told the homies, come on, let's go. Because I was like, I think we're gonna win this game. And we didn't. And then I was like, I don't think I can be around people anymore. I have to really focus up.

[Blake Anderson]

Did you go over to. You know what you should have done when you're at Burger She Wrote at halftime, when it was going down, you should have went right next door to Escuela and got you a little bean and cheese burrito.

[Ders]

Look at my man go. Look at my man go.

[Blake Anderson]

They have really good bean cheese burrito.

[Ders]

They also have really good micheladas.

[Blake Anderson]

Micheladas. They also have good little. Little hardshell. Tacos are fire. It's 35 for a burrito. I mean, Jesus Christ, what are we doing? What if we worth it?

[E]

God, they're so fire, though.

[Blake Anderson]

They're really so good.

[Ders]

It's a great one, two punch.

[E]

Really is.

[Blake Anderson]

It is. Now, there was a lot of being talked between the Celtics fan and. And Draymond Green.

[E]

Yep.

[Blake Anderson]

He became the villain there. Where do you draw the line? In with the trash talk, the sand. Where do you draw the line?

[Ders]

I say it's all it's all. All play.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, all play.

[Ders]

Go for it.

[E]

There's.

[Blake Anderson]

There's full. Like, the full arena. Ready?

[Ders]

I love that. I love that.

[E]

I think we do need a little less buddy. Buddy. We need a little bit more grit. Like that. I'm not saying full riots, but, like, need a little something more in there. Too much buddy, buddy.

[Ders]

Now, look, I think sports are so important for people to, like, get out all of that stuff, but it has to stay in the game. It can't come out outside of the game.

[E]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

Keep in the arena when Blake's sitting courtside at the warriors. Because you're friends with Clay, right?

[Julian Edelman]

Are you heckling?

[Ders]

No, no, I'm respectful. I'm. I. I'm not, like.

[Blake Anderson]

Not like.

[Ders]

No, I'm. I'm more uplifting to my team. I'm not really a. Like, tear the other team down.

[Blake Anderson]

That's a good fan.

[E]

I'm with you.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Takes a lot of balls to, like, be courtside me talking smack.

[Ders]

Like, dude.

[E]

Or not really, maybe. Yeah. It's a bad move.

[Blake Anderson]

No matter what, I'm always mad at refs. Even if I'm sitting courtside, I'm saying, what the. We get our eyes checked over.

[Ders]

Come on, Blue.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm calling him Blue.

[Ders]

Well, if it's egregious. Yeah, you gotta.

[Blake Anderson]

You look like a principal over there.

[Ders]

What the hell?

[E]

That was a ball. The arguing balls and strikes at a basketball. All right, let's get into this game here.

[Blake Anderson]

You filmed the Hype video for this?

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Julian Edelman]

Chase.

[Ders]

Yes. Yes. Which I was, like, kind of nervous for, because, you know, when you, like, put yourself out as, like, the face of a squad, and if they lose, people start to call you, like, a jinx and stuff. But I. I was like. I just. I went. I was like.

[Blake Anderson]

What'd you say?

[Ders]

I. I think I was just gassing up, like, Steph Curry and stuff. I don't know.

[Blake Anderson]

You give, like.

[Julian Edelman]

Let's go.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Everyone does that at the end. Warriors.

[Ders]

Warriors. I'm sure. I'm sure it was stupid.

[Blake Anderson]

It obviously worked.

[E]

It worked.

[Blake Anderson]

You got them hyped.

[Ders]

It did, man. And trust me, I'm so glad, because my cousin would be, like, the first one to be like, stop. You're making all our teams lose. He's still pretty on me about the 49ers.

[Blake Anderson]

What'd you do with the Niners?

[Ders]

Well, it's just. I go to G. I went to the damn super bowl in Vegas, and they lost, and my cousin's pretty convinced it's because of me.

[Blake Anderson]

Hey, isn't your uncle the guy who also sold him the property of where their practice facility is near the power plant?

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh my God.

[Ders]

Yeah, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

So that's why they're getting hurt.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Because your uncle built the thing over there.

[Ders]

We're melting bones from the ligaments, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

From the inside. So dry from the power plant. They're tearing them left and right.

[Ders]

Our bad. Sorry. We gotta make a living. I'm sorry.

[Blake Anderson]

Jack into the game.

[E]

Oh man. Let's get into this thing. From the get go, it was out to a hot start. The Celtics got out to a hot shooting.

[Blake Anderson]

Starts were hot.

[E]

Got up 11 to four. Kind of kept this. The whole first half was kind of this. Celtics go up five or six. Warriors cut it. Warriors go up two or three. Celtics cut it, go back up five or six. But the turnovers kept coming back to bite the Celtics. 16 in this game, those kind of always open the door for a Warriors run. But Curry and Tatum doing, doing a little dual action in the first. Both had 12 points. Grant Williams ends the first quarter on a buzzer beater to go up 28, 20, 27. Derrick White comes in in the second half, gets a some good spark going for the seas. That was still when Derek was in his six man role. Gets a good spark with him and. But the Celtics end up maintaining that lead 54, 49 at the half.

[Blake Anderson]

So Derek White, actually he used to have beautiful long hair.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Then he cut it after this series.

[Ders]

Well, he always had kind of a. Odd hairline. Yeah, right.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean it was creeping. Yeah, we don't talk about that. But it was beautiful long hair.

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

What is something dramatic that had to happen to you for you to cut your hair? Losing like a Academy Award.

[Ders]

Yeah. Would be like if they like I. I know I said joker, but if they asked me to be like Mr. Freeze, I think I would shave my head for that, cuz. Come on, man. From Arnold to me, Hell yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, I mean that would have been sick.

[Ders]

I'm in. I'll shave my full shave.

[Blake Anderson]

How long have you had the long hair ever?

[Ders]

Ever? I used to have a fro in high school, but like I would cut it down when I would visit my dad because he was like kind of like wanted me to be presentable.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

But then once I got to college, I'm like, I'm not cutting it anymore. And I've kind of had it long ever since.

[Blake Anderson]

Was that the day that your dad knew you were a man?

[Ders]

That's right.

[Blake Anderson]

You stood up to me, son, you

[Ders]

grew your hair like a girl, now you're a man. Damn right. Oh, that's how I showed it.

[Blake Anderson]

So at halftime at this game, how are you feeling when you're alone in your apartment? Because we're not with any of our friends.

[Ders]

My apartment.

[E]

My.

[Ders]

The. The apartment I go to to watch. Not my home with my. Daddy's going to his sports apartment to yell at walls.

[F]

Oh, that would be amazing.

[Ders]

Dad's at his apartment.

[F]

Can we get one of those? There's just holes in the wall.

[Ders]

Yeah, you could. Yeah. Drywall.

[E]

Just. Just one folding chair.

[Blake Anderson]

We got four TVs to break one breakaway TVs.

[Ders]

Bring in the next one. Costco. Costco card on me. I. Well, I rewatched this game last night, and Curry was coming back from an. Like, an injury because Horford, like, landed on his foot.

[E]

Yeah. Left foot injury. Game three.

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah. And everybody was kind of waiting to see. Like, you could feel Boston, like, holding its breath. Like, they're like, is Curry gonna be Curry? And he was like. He came out kind of slow, but he was showing little glimmers. And, like, as a Golden State fan, like, you know, once Curry flips that switch, like, it's a. It's an avalanche after that. So it was kind of feeling good. Like, you felt like Curry had had the look in his eye. Cause he also gets super hyped. Like, he was, like, yelling at one point in the first quarter, and you're like, whoa. If Curry's already there, mentally, I feel like the Celtics are in trouble. Like, he was hyped. When Curry gets in that mode, you're like, oh, he's not going to let his team lose.

[Blake Anderson]

So you thought in the first quarter, you had it in the bag by then.

[Ders]

Yeah, because Curry was already in, like, go mode. And I'm like, he will find it. He will find it.

[E]

He's fully, like, going at the Garden crowd, like, letting them know, like, this is our house kind of vibe.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[Ders]

First quarter.

[E]

Yeah. Like, three made time.

[Blake Anderson]

I've never been in the Garden.

[Ders]

I've never been to the Garden.

[Blake Anderson]

Gotta go to the Garden.

[Ders]

I would love.

[E]

I'm so sick.

[Ders]

I would love to. I've been to a Knicks game.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, Madison Square is awesome, too.

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah. It was really rad.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

I mean, that's.

[Blake Anderson]

You're in the Mecca. That's. That's a fun. That's a fun environment.

[Ders]

Yeah, I love it.

[Blake Anderson]

And the Garden.

[Ders]

Yeah. It's, like, kind of dark in there.

[Blake Anderson]

You're like not anymore. It's not the old garden, but yeah.

[Ders]

It's like maybe they didn't pay their electricity or something.

[Blake Anderson]

There's so many renovations going on. The power.

[E]

It is weird. The Uranus now that do that where you shut like all the lights off.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, yeah. Lakers only on the. The court. Everything else is dark.

[E]

MSG's movie.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[F]

It was just a hockey game where they turned the lights off during the play because they thought their goal happened and.

[Ders]

Yeah, they were supposed to start turning all red and stuff. It was like during.

[F]

Like it was a college hockey game.

[Ders]

A pivotal moment too.

[F]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ders]

Then it like ended up going into like overtime and they lost.

[F]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Because.

[Blake Anderson]

Which kind of gives me.

[Ders]

Is it rigged?

[Blake Anderson]

No, it just makes me think. San Francisco game.

[Ders]

Yes. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That was the momentum, bro.

[Ders]

We've had so many shots. We've had so many shots at winning the Super Bowl.

[E]

You were. That was right. Really have. Man.

[Blake Anderson]

What's up with these Niners?

[Ders]

I don't know, dude. It's really trying my patience and I really like this group of guys. I want Kittle to get a ring so bad.

[Blake Anderson]

Are they close?

[Ders]

They are. I think. I think they got a shot this year. I do. I'm feeling. I'm feeling this season.

[Blake Anderson]

Trent Williams. They might be getting cut for that 39 million dollar cap space they need.

[Ders]

I know. We just gotta believe in Brock.

[E]

We'll believe in Brock.

[F]

Believe Mike Evans is fun.

[Ders]

Yeah. That's cool, right?

[Blake Anderson]

Mike Evans is great, but I just don't want to see his hamstring near that power plant. This guy's got chronic bones. It's not the bones. It's the tendons, bro. It's the tendons.

[Ders]

He can have all my tendons. Well, his pause.

[Blake Anderson]

Would you give him your attendant for a Super bowl real fan?

[Ders]

Absolutely. What's the. What? I would just have to. I couldn't run anymore. What?

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. I'm not a doctor.

[Ders]

A sweet father.

[Blake Anderson]

His sweet dad.

[E]

Oh, man. Coming out of the half here, same story as game one through three. The warriors own the third quarter. That was what got the Celtics in this game.

[Ders]

We always. The third was our quarter.

[E]

Steph pours in 14.

[Ders]

Notorious.

[E]

Unbelievable. I don't know what Steve Kerr was doing to those boys in the locker

[Ders]

room, but dude, also, Steve Kerr got like angry. He got a tech in this game. And I think Steve Kerr might be the scariest angry person. Like when he gets mad, it's like seeing like a Mormon person get mad. Like he's. He's not supposed to be mad, right?

[E]

Because he's so even keel.

[Ders]

Yeah. He just gets red hot, dude. Remember when he, like, smacked the clipboard and shattered it?

[Blake Anderson]

Freaks me out.

[Ders]

Yeah. I think he has a lot of pent up anger.

[E]

I could see that.

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

You bury it down, it's gonna come out at some point.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

I love Steve Kerr.

[Ders]

I do, too. What a great guy. He seems like a really great guy.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. I was thinking, I got a few Mormon friends. Have I ever seen him get mad?

[Ders]

Mormons don't get mad.

[Blake Anderson]

I really don't. They're really sweet humans.

[Ders]

They tend to be really nice.

[Blake Anderson]

They're really nice.

[Ders]

And they all have really good, like, basketball courts at their churches, so it's great.

[E]

Mormons love.

[Ders]

Man, Mormons can ball, dude. They usually have big calves, too. Good rebounders.

[Blake Anderson]

You ain't never seen a race where calves.

[Ders]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

That means you can't run fast.

[Ders]

Exactly. You can hop.

[E]

Jimmer's got that shot, baby.

[Blake Anderson]

Dion, where's your cast? You ain't never seen a racehorse with Cad True.

[Ders]

Dion.

[Blake Anderson]

Love Dion.

[E]

Like, you're another guy. I feel like that's pretty even. Kill that. Never gets pissed like that. Like, what is. Is there anything that gets you Steve Ker level break a clipboard mad?

[Blake Anderson]

What makes you mad, Blake?

[E]

I.

[Ders]

It, like, honestly, the time when you see me most passionate is when I watch sports.

[E]

Hell yeah.

[Ders]

Yeah. Like basketball. Like that. This run. Like, I'm. It's kind of bittersweet that the warriors are like, the dynasty is dying out. But, like, I used to, like, be at such a high clip watching warriors games. It was like, unhealthy.

[Blake Anderson]

86 of them.

[Ders]

Oh, dude. Every single one of them. Just yelling at my tv, like, getting psyched. Like those. Some of those Rocket series. It was just like, oh, my God. Be like that flipping into my pool every time they like, because I get

[E]

superstitious too, and James Harden would be foul baiting. And you're just like, yeah.

[Ders]

It's like, Steph Curry only makes threes when I jump in the pool. So I'd just be canning balling in the pool every time he shoots.

[E]

That's real sports fandom behavior right there.

[Blake Anderson]

Dude, what's your favorite moment from this game?

[Ders]

I mean, I. I think. Okay, look, I. I even wrote it down on the 37th point. It came off of a Steph Curry rebound put back. And I was like, that is so

[Blake Anderson]

cool to me, dude.

[Ders]

He was just getting, like, hustle plays out there. That's when I'm like 10 boards in this game.

[E]

Steph was getting on the glass. Unbelievable.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, and he had a hurt foot too. That was that. That was that Jedi mind trick. Were. They were also. Steve and them were kind of playing in the media like we don't know how, weren't they? Yeah, Steve Otto, you know, Steve Kerr, remember?

[E]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. And this was also before the game, a little tweak. Didn't mention this.

[Blake Anderson]

Off the rip.

On eBay, every find has a story. Like, if you're looking for a vintage

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

sports team, not just a tea, the vintage sports team. You wore it everywhere until your bro stole it.

[Blake Anderson]

Now you're on ebay and there it is. Same tea, same team.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you, especially on ebay. Where else can you find that mint trading card? You search everywhere for your first car,

[Blake Anderson]

the one you wish you never sold.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

It has to be ebay. A lot of the pieces on this wall come from ebay. It's my go to spot for sports

[Blake Anderson]

memorabilia shop, ebay for millions of fines, each with the story. Ebay, things people love.

[E]

Otto Porter Jr. Started this game.

[Blake Anderson]

We'll be right back after this quick break.

[Ders]

Otto was devoted to. He was nice, pivotal. Like a lot of, like, the role players on the warriors don't get enough credit. But Otto was huge.

[E]

I mean, this was the case in point. Like Gary Payton ii, Auto Porter, Andrew Wiggins. They were the guys that were like, as a Celtics fan, I'm watching this, I'm like, who are we letting these guys beat us? Kavon Looney, bro, huge in the fourth. Draymond didn't play that much in the fourth. In this one, Kavon got in there and gave some serious minutes. Draymond was cold through this one, one for seven. But Looney came in and gave huge minutes. It was unbelievable in the fourth or third quarter, I gotta say. Plus 49 in these first four games. Warriors just own that quarter.

[Blake Anderson]

Jesus.

[E]

That was the story of it, man.

[Ders]

And then it was always the third, man.

[E]

Always the third. Steph put in 14 in the third, another 10 in the fourth, put him up six with 110 left. Another Steph dagger three held the Celtics scoreless for the last five and a half minutes. Outside of that, Al Horford three. That cut it to three with under a minute left, but that wasn't enough. Kevon Looney layup, ices it Pretty much. Final score, 107, 97.

[Blake Anderson]

107, 97.

[E]

Not up the series. Steph finishes with 43, 10 and 4.

[Blake Anderson]

They didn't lose again.

[E]

They did not lose again after this.

[Ders]

It was such an important series for this team and for Steph Curry to win because there was all the chatter about, like, the KD stuff and all that, and it just, like, this was the most fulfilling series win. Absolutely. Like, it just felt good. Just felt really good for Steph to have this moment and remember the, like, the Most Sinisters when he was like, that's like. That would just go down in history.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. You know, this is. Like I said earlier, I. I became a Boston fan when I moved out there, and that was when I moved. The warriors were trash. I was in college, and that's when BD dunked on the dude, and I loved him with bd.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And then they got good, and they got kd, and, you know, I was always a KD fan, but then it was almost, like, unfair to root for them. Everyone's like, oh, you're a Warriors fan. So then, you know, I gravitated towards Boston, but this championship, this last one, like you just said, it made me feel like, oh, they weren't supposed to do it. And then I. I gravitated. Like, man, that was really cool to see Steph get this. Yeah. Clay get this off his injury. There was a lot of shit that had to happen for them to get this win.

[Ders]

Yeah, man. It was, like. Because you're right. Like, in the beginning, the warriors, like, their first championship, it was kind of like the. The people were behind the warriors, and then they became, like, sort of this evil empire. And then with, like, kd, they were just inevitable. They were too good. They flew too close to the sun. But then, like, this one. Yeah. I felt like people kind of started to come back, like, on the ship and be like. Like, good for Steph. Like, he. He just had to shut so many people up, and it was. He just had to do it. It was. It was. It was perfect.

[Blake Anderson]

How'd you celebrate at the sports department?

[Ders]

Blooming onions everywhere, dude. Just on deck.

[Blake Anderson]

Apps on deck.

[Ders]

Throwing blue and blooming onions off the balcony. I actually went to the. The parade for this.

[E]

That's right. Oh, my God. You're on the coverage, too.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Oh, man. It was.

[Blake Anderson]

Where. Where did they have the parade?

[Ders]

It was just right in the heart of San. Dude, it was so cool, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Like, it's just really like being in the Bay Area and, like, just when everybody's there in a good mood, like, even all the homeless people are, like, having a great time. You're like, dude, this is what it's about.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

It was just like, a huge party, and everybody's psyched about the same thing. It was just, like. It was just really beautiful and like, just as somebody from the Bay Area, you know, like, it just. It's just such a awesome city. And when everything's like, when everybody's winning it, it feels good.

[Blake Anderson]

Were you at the Super Bowl? This off for the super bowl in San Francisco?

[Ders]

I. I was. I didn't go to the game, but I was around. Yeah, I was in.

[Blake Anderson]

There was that same kind of feeling.

[Ders]

Yeah. The city was beautiful.

[Blake Anderson]

Bumping. It was kind of clean.

[Ders]

Oh. I. I went on BART to go see my mom in Concord. It was a brand new train. It was.

[Blake Anderson]

It was beautiful. Yeah.

[Ders]

I was like, how could people talk on this city? It's so, so cool.

[Blake Anderson]

At the end, though, they started creeping back. Yeah.

[Ders]

Immediate. He's like, oh, boy, oh, boy.

[Blake Anderson]

Saw a couple of the drones. City drones that are chasing everyone now.

[Ders]

Yeah, dude. Yeah. Don't get me wrong, it's. It gets gnarly out there, but for that week, it was beautiful, man.

[Blake Anderson]

You. You forget, man, the city is really cool. The food is great.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Just the. The look of the city is beautiful. Like, you see it from different areas. San Francisco, in the bay. Really, really special place. Very shout out, man.

[Ders]

Yes.

[E]

But putting a bow on this bad boy. Golden State would win Games 5 and 6 to win their fourth title in eight years. Steph got his first Finals MVP. And then as we mentioned earlier, you had the pool. Draymond drama carrying into the next season. GP2 left in free agency, which is a bummer. And then mid year next season, Joe Missoula would take over as Celtics head coach. The next year, in 2024, the Celtics would win. Banner 18 under Joe and get back. Another ring in the garden, baby.

[Blake Anderson]

Another ring in the garden.

[E]

Hang another banner.

[Blake Anderson]

Would you take a punch from Draymond for another title?

[Ders]

Hell yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Just making sure. Oh, yeah. I thought so.

[Ders]

Dislocate my jaw, man. Let's go, let's go.

[E]

Take my ligaments. Whatever you need.

[Blake Anderson]

Let's name the game. Score the game. Is this the greatest game of all time? Let's score it. Decimals are encouraged. These are some names that we came up with. If you have a specific name that you have in your head already, we'll use that. But we came up with the stuff. Steph Curry game. The Curry Classic. The series shifter. The pretty ship. The petty or the petty ship. And the Silencer or something else that you have.

[Ders]

I got it. The chef's kiss.

[Blake Anderson]

Chefs.

[E]

Chef Curry with the sauce.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. I love that. It's a great name. That is a great. Thank you.

[E]

That is all time thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

Steaks.

[F]

Did you just come up with that or did you.

[Blake Anderson]

Were you.

[Ders]

I just came up with that. Wow. Thank you.

[F]

He's very impressive.

[Blake Anderson]

Comic writers, man. They're.

[E]

I'm gonna need to up my score.

[Blake Anderson]

The name guy, he's got improv.

[Ders]

De La Salle. Sorry about it.

[Blake Anderson]

Let's go.

[Ders]

Yeah. You won every football game, but you didn't win the improv game.

[Blake Anderson]

You remember when they lost to Bellevue, Washington?

[Ders]

What the hell? When did that happen?

[Blake Anderson]

That was like their, their first loss in like 20 years. I remember that.

[Ders]

Oh, man. My school. Clean Valley. Our team was so bad. Now they're like a charter school and we're hella good.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah, we're paying kids now.

[Julian Edelman]

That's so cool.

[Blake Anderson]

I know.

[Ders]

I should have played football.

[Blake Anderson]

I know. Me too. I should have been born 10 years later. Stakes 0 to 10, decimals encouraged. 10 being great, 0, 1 being nothing.

[Ders]

10 is the highest stakes.

[Blake Anderson]

The highest.

[Ders]

I would say this was a 8.2.

[Blake Anderson]

That's a, that's an integrity, integrity score.

[E]

You got more games. Not game seven.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[E]

Still a finals game though.

[Ders]

Yeah, but this was. Yeah, we needed it.

[Blake Anderson]

You needed this. I'm going to go with the 8.1.

[Ders]

Okay, okay. Okay. I like that.

[E]

I was going with 8.0.

[Blake Anderson]

We're in the same ball.

[E]

8.0.

[Ders]

Look at us.

[Blake Anderson]

The star power of this game. 0 to 10, decimals encouraged.

[Ders]

I mean, I, I giggled when I saw Bea come out. I forgot that guy existed. He's dropping the score for me a little bit. So I'm gonna say the star power is at a seven.

[E]

Seven.

[Ders]

That's on Beelitsa.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh.

[F]

Got anyone on the wood in here?

[E]

21. Savage and Little Dirk were on the wood. If that, if that. Will we count celebrity fans, I'm gonna

[Ders]

drop mine to 6.

[Blake Anderson]

21.

[E]

21. Oh, my gosh.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, you got some all time greats playing in this game. You know, you got Steph, Clay, Wiggy, Tatum and Brown. Those are big name guys that are still playing at a high level. I'm going with the 8.1.

[E]

I like that score.

[Ders]

Okay.

[F]

You think Gary Payton's dad was in this game too?

[Blake Anderson]

I was there and he's from the Bay.

[Ders]

The glove.

[F]

This was in Boston. This was in Boston.

[Ders]

Ye.

[Blake Anderson]

Never mind. Never mind.

[E]

Image searching.

[Ders]

Front row. 40 is not there. GP the glove is not there.

[E]

And 8.9. 21 was doing a lot of heavy lifting for me.

[F]

I also. 8.9. Steph Curry. Come on, let's go.

[E]

What happened to the streets?

[Blake Anderson]

The Gameplay of this game, like how it was visually going back and forth. There's 10 point lead by the Warriors. There's a six point lead by the Celtics at the end.

[E]

Dev dropping 43.

[Blake Anderson]

43 on a broken foot.

[Ders]

I, I. Steph was out of 10 for me, but overall gameplay, I'm also gonna give it 8.5. Celtics missed a lot of shots, turned

[E]

the ball over 16 times. Sloppy basketball.

[Blake Anderson]

But they both had 16 turnovers.

[Ders]

The warriors always have so many turnovers. That was always the Achilles heel. So that, that, that's okay.

[E]

Come in with the three ball.

[Blake Anderson]

But they make so many threes. So I'm gonna go with a 8.5 as well. Shout out Ocho Cinco at a 7.8.

[E]

At 7.5, it was a homer score.

[Blake Anderson]

The name, the chef's kiss.

[E]

I'm gonna have to up my. My name score. I know that much.

[Blake Anderson]

0 to 10, 10 being amazing.

[F]

Also, it's the cultural relevance of this game. It's not just like, it's like how much you think about it, how much it means to sports history.

[Ders]

Okay, I'll give it a 9 because I don't think it was the most important game in, in, in warriors history, but it was very important.

[Blake Anderson]

I think it's 8.6. I'm staying right up there.

[Ders]

Okay.

[E]

All right. I'm an 8.0. I'll keep it there for now, I guess. But when you say the Steph Curry

[F]

game, everyone's like, oh, that's 6.1. It is an 8.02. This is gonna be our new 58th game. It's just ahead of the 2012 AFC Championship. Ravens versus Patriots, and Jeff behind Super Bowl 53, Patriots versus Rams, and just

[Blake Anderson]

below the Broncos versus the Niners.

[Ders]

Yeah, great Super Bowl.

[Blake Anderson]

Super Bowl 24.

[Ders]

Great Super Bowl. Wow, dude, look at your guys list. This is insane.

[Blake Anderson]

Done some good games with a lot of awesome people.

[Ders]

Whoa.

[Blake Anderson]

How many? Keep going to the second.

[F]

We've done 132 games.

[Ders]

Hell, yeah. Wow. You guys even do some UFC fights?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, we did Laird Hamilton. Did the Millennium Wave.

[Ders]

Yeah. Suck it. San Fran 49ers versus Rams.

[E]

Who was that?

[Ders]

2020.

[F]

Oh, that was Cooper Cup. When they beat the Rams on the way or the 49ers on the way to their super bowl.

[Blake Anderson]

They needed.

[Ders]

Oh, I was at that game.

[F]

How do you think about the score? Did we do okay?

[Ders]

Yeah, that game was pretty good though. But yeah, forget that game. I hate that game.

[Blake Anderson]

If you, if you want to get back at Cooper cup, you can go buy A Starbucks. He's got a coffee brand.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah. All right.

[F]

Two time super bowl champion, Cooper.

[Blake Anderson]

Cup time super bowl champion winner.

[Ders]

I can't argue.

[Blake Anderson]

Cup.

[Ders]

Cups of maniac. Dude, he's good. He's good.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, we missed anything from this game.

[Ders]

No, you know, I think we. I. I'm glad we touched on the anger of Steve Kerr. Yeah, dude, I, I think we did pretty good on. On summing it all up. I'm glad we gave Wiggins some love and looney. This is. What a. What a time to be alive. I'm just so happy that I got to rewatch that. Like I said, I don't do a lot of rewatching of sports because I still feel like, like the warriors have a little gas in the tank, but going back and, and, and really observing that team, they. They are such a special team, dude. And it was. It was fun to watch. I was stressed all over again. Yeah. I punched a hole in my. My home.

[Blake Anderson]

No sports apartment.

[Ders]

I should have took it to the apartment, man.

[Blake Anderson]

But you went at home.

[Ders]

Yeah, dude. On a sports classic. I knew we were win at the end, and I still was like, Clay.

[Blake Anderson]

Last question before we let you go. Everyone go check out. This is important. Unbelievable podcast.

[Ders]

Thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

Very fun. A lot of important things. Whatever's important. That's what they're talking about.

[Ders]

Absolutely.

[Blake Anderson]

But the last question that we ask all our guests. What do Bay Area sports mean to you? Oh, man, that's my Tom Rinaldi getting serious.

[E]

Moment of levity.

[Ders]

You know, it's just, it's. It's. It's my identity. It's how I identify as a Bay Area person. I think that sports are just so intertwined with the pride of the Bay Area and the pride of who I am as a person. As a Bay destrian. It's just. It's just. It's just, it's. It's our culture. It's who we are. So, like, when we talk about, like, teams leaving Oakland, it really is, like, ripping our guts out. But I'm very proud to be a from the Bay Area, and I'm proud of all of our sports teams.

[E]

Hell yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Yay.

[F]

And just for clarity, we don't ask everyone Bay Area sports. We like something specific to them. Like, what does football mean to you?

[Blake Anderson]

I was doing my Tom.

[E]

That was a great time. Rinaldi. Shout out. Ronaldi.

[Ders]

Appreciate that.

[Blake Anderson]

I like yo.

[E]

Blake cleared something up for us. Btrian pedestrian. We got some flack the other week.

[F]

Bay Arean.

[Ders]

No, it's. It's 100% Bian. Yeah.

[E]

Bay area doesn't sound great.

[Ders]

You can ask Mr. Fab. Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Biggity bat.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Blake, thanks for coming on, bro.

[Ders]

Dude, what a pleasure. Thank you, man.

[Blake Anderson]

What a fun game to go over, man.

[Julian Edelman]

It was.

[Blake Anderson]

I forgot this game before we did it and then I watched it. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. I. For. I. I remember. I forgot.

[E]

As a Celtics fan, it. It broke my heart to relive this.

[Blake Anderson]

The Celtics had this game.

[E]

I know. I know.

[Blake Anderson]

The celts had this game. I know.

[E]

We had this game.

[Blake Anderson]

And this was the turning point of that.

[E]

It was.

[Blake Anderson]

And this. This is potentially one of the reasons why Marcus Smart didn't. Wasn't on the team the next.

[E]

I know, man. Breaks my heart, cuz.

[Blake Anderson]

Marcus Smart was a dog, man.

[E]

I know.

[Blake Anderson]

He was so high when he was high. He was.

[Ders]

But he.

[Blake Anderson]

I was, you know. Yeah.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

But he was a fun player to.

[E]

To electric, man. He was hitting some big shots in this one. Some run out dunks. It was. He was on, man.

[Blake Anderson]

But damn, that third quarter, a B. Destrium Blake. That's what I'm gonna call him. Pedestrian Blake.

[F]

You gotta get the Bay area group chat going.

[Blake Anderson]

I know. Yeah, I know.

[E]

But I'm.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm not like. I love. I love my Bay area teams, but not like I used to.

[E]

I feel you, you know, because now you're. You're Boston guy.

[Blake Anderson]

Why? I genuinely. I. I genuinely have relationships with people in all of those organizations.

[E]

Oh, totally.

[Blake Anderson]

And I have not one. I mean, a couple with the Giants, maybe Niners, a cup maybe, but not like.

[E]

No, the root.

[Blake Anderson]

Like I've done charity events with the Celtics and charity events with the Red Sox, you know, so like it's.

[E]

I know.

[Blake Anderson]

And I know some of those guys that are working and you want to see that. I don't know, it's. It's tough, but probably can't start the Bay area trap, but I could jump into it.

[E]

Yeah, you still got Bay area.

[Blake Anderson]

I wouldn't start it. I could jump into it.

[E]

You still have Bay area code?

[Blake Anderson]

No, I got a six one.

[E]

You're a six one.

[Ders]

I thought so.

[E]

Sorry not to document six one seven.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

But thanks again to Blake Anderson. I would love to hang out with him.

[Ders]

Me too.

[E]

I like getting back on here.

[F]

Let's do the sports department.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I need a sports department.

[E]

It'll be our first guest at the

[Blake Anderson]

sports department thinking I'm bad that I said apartment.

[E]

No, I think it was hilarious, everyone.

[Blake Anderson]

No, no.

[F]

You know why?

[E]

You know why?

[F]

You said apartment. Because I. I tracked with you. It's because we feel like this game was farther back than it was so. Well, so often we're talking about celebrities. We're talking games that are way younger.

[Julian Edelman]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

So you were thinking years ago.

[F]

You're thinking him in community college, walking to the next game way back when. But this was three years ago.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[F]

But, hey, it made it for a great bit. That'll be the third nut house show.

[E]

Yeah. Sports department.

[F]

We'll do the sports department.

[E]

Yeah. Make that a scripted show. I don't care. Scripted series, scripted movie.

[F]

It's hard to make script. We can make audio. Right.

[E]

Or maybe it's just a show. You're right. Sports department. We just.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm a little camera.

[E]

Bring up a camera.

[F]

It's like the Dave and Benny Blanco show.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm a little sad that I didn't know Bay Destrian.

[E]

Yeah, I didn't know it either. That's when you know it's a bunch of bay areas.

[F]

It's a bunch of bay.

[Blake Anderson]

We didn't know. That's a pedestrian. That's a. That's a. That's so bae.

[E]

It is. When he said he.

[Blake Anderson]

It rolled right off the top 40. Has said that, bro.

[E]

I. I can't stop thinking that. Sports department now, it's like the. It's like the man version of a pied a terre. Like, for, like, you know what I mean? Like, like an author or whatever. Like a pia de terre.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Now he's going, watch ball.

[Blake Anderson]

Man, that was fun.

[E]

We got to do it. Can we please do it?

[Blake Anderson]

What a sports car. I mean, we'll look into the budget bugs. I mean, there's a housing.

[E]

I know, I know.

[Blake Anderson]

Housing crisis right now.

[E]

I got you.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, we're colleagues at the.

[F]

Well, we kind of did it. Jack. When you were in the Airbnb, when

[Blake Anderson]

you were in true. This is true.

[E]

Sports apartment.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

I didn't. No holes in the wall, though. Got to be able to make holes.

[F]

You got to be able to put holes.

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

If you just, like, rig up some drywall.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[F]

It's like. It's a karate.

[Blake Anderson]

Sports apartment is basically a rich man's garage.

[E]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

All men are. Or the man cave.

[E]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

It's a detached man cave couch or man cave garage with your own means that. That's a rich man thing.

[F]

But there's something about a man cave which is, like, polished and nice. I feel like you need it, like, gritty and dirty and like.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Like.

[F]

Like a fridge that runs like.

[E]

Yes.

[F]

You know the toilets?

[Blake Anderson]

It needs to be like.

[E]

No, totally.

[Blake Anderson]

The unfinished basement at Danny and Mandola's house that we used to spit, chew in and play ping pong all night. Cement dust, shit everywhere.

[E]

Yep.

[F]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Spitting on the walls.

[E]

Minimal. Minimal.

[Blake Anderson]

Punching things.

[E]

Weird items in the refrigerator.

[Blake Anderson]

Nunchucks. A boxing bag along with the speed bag. And maybe a slip and slide in

[Julian Edelman]

a patch of turf.

[E]

Can we get a weight bench in there?

[F]

No.

[E]

Maybe. We'll see. Squat rack. Yep. Rusty as heck. The fridge is like half a jar. Like Mount Olive pickles.

[F]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

A couple straight beers, though.

[E]

Oh, you got sick fridge. Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

You got sick fridge. I love good fridge.

[E]

For sure.

[Blake Anderson]

And you have refreshment fridge that has glass opening. Because we have. But when it comes to food and drink, everything has to be.

[F]

We do take that serious out of the sports department.

[E]

Yeah, our sports department's even fancy than I imagined.

[F]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

No, it's not. It's just the lodging for the food and drink.

[E]

Okay. We take that seriously.

[Blake Anderson]

But that's. Yeah, actually, we'll get a yeti.

[Ders]

Oh.

[E]

Maybe we can get a brand deal or something, huh? Maybe we can get a little brand deal in there somehow.

[F]

We were this close to getting a Trader Joe's brand deal.

[E]

We were.

[Blake Anderson]

We were really close.

[E]

We were talking about the hash browns and the frozen food. Yeah. Shout out TJ's.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, he brought up Trader Joe.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

But then he.

[F]

On it, so then there goes that deal.

[E]

Oh, I didn't. We'll edit that out.

[F]

We'll cut that out.

[Blake Anderson]

What did he.

[F]

I forget what he said. He said something.

[E]

Something he did say Jules is a. Oh.

[F]

Because they find glass in some of their products.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah. That happens in every product in every store.

[E]

You know what you're getting into? Hey, man, I'm just exfoliating my gums. Come on now.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Relax.

[Blake Anderson]

We'll be right back after this quick break.

[Julian Edelman]

[Blake Anderson]

This is Julian Edelman from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules.

[E]

I don't know why everyone keeps asking. I feel totally fine.

[Blake Anderson]

You had two coffees, no water, and you're mad at the chair. You're sitting on the chair started it. You're probably dehydrated. Your body might be throwing you a penalty flash bag.

[E]

So hydration matters even when it's not

[Blake Anderson]

game day, hydration matters every day. That's why I use liquid IV hydration multiplier. One stick in water helps hydrate faster than water alone.

You know, playing for the New England Patriots taught me something early. Success doesn't happen by accident. It comes from discipline, preparation, and having the right team behind you.

[Blake Anderson]

Every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage sports team tea.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

Not just a tea. The vintage sports team. You wore it everywhere until your bro stole it.

[Blake Anderson]

Now you're on ebay and there it is.

[Julian Edelman]

Same tea, same team.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. Especially on ebay. Where else can you find that mint trading card? You search everywhere for your first card,

[Blake Anderson]

the one you wish you never sold.

[Ebay Advertiser Voice]

It has to be ebay. A lot of the pieces on this wall come from ebay. It's my go to spot for sports memorabilia.

[Blake Anderson]

Shop ebay for millions of fines, each with the story. Ebay things people love.

[E]

Freaking. Oh wait, there was one more thing on the Bro Joe sports apartment.

[Blake Anderson]

The cruise sounds insane.

[E]

The crew sounded unbelievable. Possible, but you gotta hang out with your fans for like three straight days.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, and maybe get the neural guard of cruise. He did the gronk cruise.

[E]

That's true. Dude, what would it take for you to go on a cruise, Jules? I don't know.

[Blake Anderson]

I did a riverboat one watching these commercials and they look kind of sick.

[E]

They do.

[Blake Anderson]

But like probably amazing for like a big ass family, I guess. Just, you know what I mean? Like. Because look, we're not yacht people.

[E]

No, but I'd like to be the.

[Blake Anderson]

But the boat thing would be awesome because you know that the kids are going to like. Lily would love to go on a boat with her cousins, maybe a friend where they have a fucking water slide and you know what I mean? Stupid shit like that. Like, kids love that kind of stuff. I wouldn't say like cruise if I'm taking out like a babe.

[E]

Heck no.

[Blake Anderson]

But like family stuff.

[E]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

The cruise is almost. I've thought about the cruise as of last three months.

[E]

Really?

[Blake Anderson]

Not like to go on one, but like I've thought like, man, that I think they would enjoy it. You don't have to think about legit practical on pricing. I'm not saying it's cheap. Yeah, not saying. But like in comparison to like having boat fun.

[E]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

It's all in one time. That's like kind of. It's, it's. It's reasonable.

[F]

I think there's a ton of people and you don't have to think about logistics.

[E]

That's the only thing.

[Blake Anderson]

Covid's it up for me.

[E]

Yeah. And dude, remember they got those people that got the neurovirus on there. They were pooping in buckets.

[Blake Anderson]

I've saw some of these from the

[F]

hit documentary the Poop Cruise.

[E]

Oh, that was a. No. They made a doc about that.

[F]

Yeah, I think it's called the Poop Cruise.

[Blake Anderson]

And then they also had the.

[E]

That sounds kind of fun.

[Blake Anderson]

There's been some videos of the cruise that I've got. Had some of the hard water.

[E]

Yeah, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, I don't know.

[E]

It's sketchy, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

I feel like the train wrecks that have like the parents go on a lot of. And people love cruises.

[E]

I know, but it's like, it's almost like a.

[Ders]

A.

[E]

You're either a cruise person or you're not. It's like one or the other.

[F]

It's in the same vein as like Disney World.

[Blake Anderson]

You like people though.

[E]

I feel that.

[Blake Anderson]

But the cruise is. Is kind of tight. I don't know.

[E]

Do you think it's an American that you got to go once in your life. Like, you got to try it once. Or are you fine with not trying it ever?

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. I probably gotta try it.

[E]

Yeah. I don't know. I get.

[Blake Anderson]

I'll get claustrophobic, though. I don't like.

[E]

I don't either. And you gotta get some of those. I've seen some of those cabins. They put you in there. Like in the hull of the. Like you're deep down there. No windows, nothing.

[Blake Anderson]

Nah, bro.

[E]

A little. Damn.

[Blake Anderson]

We're freaking Rose.

[E]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

We're going to be where Rose was. If we're going on cruise, we're going with Rose and. And the Titanic people up top. If we're going cruise, shout out. We'll spend another G. Whatever it takes.

[E]

I got to see some water.

[F]

You know, the Titanic would have been fine if they just hit the iceberg head on. But the fact that they tried to move and it scraped all along.

[Blake Anderson]

No way. They would.

[Ders]

The.

[F]

Because the Titanic had a special technology that had these like, lock systems underneath.

[Blake Anderson]

But it.

[F]

That it would have been able to contain the water if it hit it head on. Had. But then because it scraped all the

[Blake Anderson]

way through, it would have stopped.

[E]

Wouldn't have been great.

[F]

But it wouldn't have sunk that mass.

[Blake Anderson]

It would be like.

[F]

Yeah, but they could have contained that. It was the fact that they got skimmed.

[Blake Anderson]

It had. It could be four of the compartments. Yeah. And it hit five.

[F]

Yeah. If they didn't turn, they would have been better off.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. Because I think that would have been just like straight. Like it doesn't stop and it keeps crushing. Like you can't. That's. That's just straight physics.

[E]

Yeah. Picturing like those crash test dummy type vibes.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Like you.

[F]

Would you rather get punched in the gut or like stabbed all the way through your gut?

[Blake Anderson]

Oh,

[E]

probably neither. Whichever would. Whichever would make a good movie with Lee.

[F]

You.

[Blake Anderson]

There's. I. There's a lot of conspiracies about that Titanic.

[E]

Are there really? I didn't know that.

[F]

What? Tell me two of them.

[Blake Anderson]

There's. Well, there's like some important people that were on there that went down.

[E]

Oh, shoot.

[Blake Anderson]

That like for like some diplomatic. Okay.

[E]

I didn't even know about that.

[Blake Anderson]

And I love. I love Titanic history.

[Ders]

There's a.

[Blake Anderson]

That's like the main reason I like James Cameron because he does so much Titanic history stuff.

[E]

Did you know.

[F]

Did you know that this is.

[Blake Anderson]

He's invested billions of dollars into like these submersibles that go in out of Adam Woods Hole.

[F]

Yeah, Falmouth. Did you know that the. They actually make a great movie. The discovering of the Titanic was actually like government secrecy. So Robert Ballard always wanted to go find the Titanic, right. Do a whole expedition. But he couldn't get the the findings for the money for it. But there was a nuclear sub that sank, an American nuclear sub that sank in that area. So that the government paid him to go find the sub. And they said if you find this sub with proprietary technology before the Russians get or whatever, we'll also fund your expedition to get the Titanic. So he found the sub first. That never was news. And then he found the Titanic afterwards.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, because they didn't find both sides for. For a long time.

[F]

Yeah, well they when the whole thing in the early 90s when they like found it or whatever.

[Blake Anderson]

Was it early 90s?

[F]

I think so. Maybe even late 80s?

[Blake Anderson]

I thought it was.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

Because when did Titanic come out? Like mid-90s, early-90s. The movie.

[F]

Oh, they found it 85.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh wow.

[E]

That long ago?

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Holy smokes. Would you rather spend a week on a Carnival cruise in the cheapest room? You're solo, by the way. Cheapest room inside the hole. Like no windows, nothing. Or a one day charter in one of those sketchy submarines where the guys can throw with like a game PlayStation and just implode. It might. It's kind of sketchy. But you're only down there for like a day. Like part of the day.

[Blake Anderson]

The cruise for a thousand. But you got to stay there a whole week, bro.

[E]

Some people you might get neurovirus when

[Blake Anderson]

you go on cruises. I learned this. Sometimes when you're in the middle and the hole you feel less of the swaying of the boat. So a lot of people actually request that shit because they get seasickness.

[F]

This same thing with a plane. Like when you're in the aisle you feel it less than when you're on the window.

[E]

Huh.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[E]

So you're picking the week on the cruise solo. Dolo shittiest room. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm not gonna potentially dying and then dying.

[E]

It's only like a couple hours of your life and you might. You might could be like a six

[F]

story out of jack is low key

[Blake Anderson]

controller in anything going underwater. I'm not getting in it.

[E]

I know she's like sick to brag.

[Blake Anderson]

Like I was on and it's not even PlayStation was a logic controller.

[F]

How deep are you going are you?

[E]

Dude, it was Matt. It was a mad cats controller.

[Blake Anderson]

One of the worst.

[E]

This accessory is not supported.

[Blake Anderson]

No more Titanic talk. This accessory. Even though I did like, I always thought, like, what if they. Why couldn't they just go down there and attach a bunch of crazy, like balloons.

[Ders]

Whoa.

[Blake Anderson]

And just explode them up, you know what I mean? Like on there and you. To try to lift the whole thing.

[F]

It's a pressure thing right now.

[Blake Anderson]

I think it's a pressure thing that

[F]

it would just kind of disintegrate.

[E]

Great.

[Ders]

The.

[F]

The boat. Wait, what are we talking about?

[E]

Getting up. Getting the. The.

[Blake Anderson]

They'll never be able to get it out of the bottom. Yeah.

[F]

Because it's been so like, like almost preserved in the higher pressure salt water at the bottom. If you were to bring it up, it would just like disintegrate, really.

[Julian Edelman]

Oh, shock.

[F]

I'm just trying to remember.

[Blake Anderson]

The heart of gold got out.

[F]

I'm paraphrasing from a Discovery Channel. The heart of that 20 years ago. As best as I can.

[E]

Better than I got.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh. It was never in. Part of the ocean was never in it.

[F]

What's the heart of the ocean? Oh, the diamond from the movie.

[E]

Oh, shoot.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I love that movie.

[F]

Billy Zane, man.

[E]

I haven't seen it in forever.

[Blake Anderson]

Great movie.

[E]

Remember back on the vhs? It was two vhs.

[F]

Two vhs.

[E]

That blew my mind as a kid.

[Blake Anderson]

I do.

[F]

And what Gangs in New York was two vhs.

[E]

Gangs of New York was two.

[Ders]

Eight.

[E]

That's late era vhs.

[F]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Wow, man.

[E]

Shout out to Bill the butcher.

[Ders]

Can we go home?

[Blake Anderson]
