A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to unraveling the cryptic slang popular among today’s youth. The term 'Ohio' becomes a focal point, as Anders Holm explains, “They think it's like some kind of mystical place or something” (07:01). The hosts humorously attempt to define and contextualize these terms, highlighting generational gaps in language.

This dynamic extends to topics like modern slang and reality shows, where their differing viewpoints and humorous banter keep the conversation both informative and entertaining.

6. Reflections on Modern Media and Content Creation

In a broader analysis, the hosts contemplate the nature of modern media consumption and content creation. Kyle Newacheck muses, “It's the new game. Content is.

I have been clocking morning wood now and it is happening to me.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Son, you're two parts Jaeger.

[Blake Anderson]

You don't want to look like a human. Let's go. This is stopped, right? This is stopped. People are no longer going. Oh, remember how that was kind of taking. Taking over for. For A minute.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Oh, can I tell you something?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Haven't we. Did we cover this?

[Blake Anderson]

No. Did we?

[Anders Holm]

No. It was you. It was you talking to me off pod.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Believe it or not, it's off pod.

[Anders Holm]

Oh.

[Blake Anderson]

And then I bring it up.

[Anders Holm]

Believe it or not.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, this works. This works good. It's all my seven year old does. He walks around the house. He walks around the house going. And give me a hell.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

My wife does look at each other like, what is going on? He doesn't.

[Blake Anderson]

No. There's no way he knows at that. At that age. I mean, I don't know.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, his hands aren't in his pockets.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He might have heard something. He has no idea. But he does it constantly. And Blake, you were saying it made its way through your household.

[Anders Holm]

Yes, it travels. It's a. It is a thing amongst the youngsters. The.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, wait, so your 11 year old daughter is doing it. Oh, you might have to have a sit down.

[Anders Holm]

No, it's not. It's not as graphic as you think, but it is disturbing. It is disturbing to hear come from a child's child's mouth.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Dude, when my mom came to visit and he ripped a couple in front of her.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

She looked at me like, it's like that. What?

[Anders Holm]

And I was like, yeah, it's more like that. It's like, oh, yeah. Yes, like, oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Which is even worse.

[Anders Holm]

It's not like. But it's not like, dude, that's way worse.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's way worse for my kid. It's all the above. It's. It's. And then he goes. And it's like, full body. It's a. It's not just a noise as he walks past. It's a full body situation.

[Blake Anderson]

So what's so funny about this is. I mean, Blake.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Your daughter is at the age where in two years she will for sure know what that means.

[Anders Holm]

Very psychedelic. They're in sex edit right now. She's in sex.

[Blake Anderson]

So she does know and she does it in front of you. That's. That's lunatic behavior.

[Anders Holm]

That's why I'm saying it's not her going. It's. It's like. Oh, yeah. It's just. It's what kids do. They all do it, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Okay. And here I thought it was dead. Dude.

[Anders Holm]

Kids are so universally programmed now. It's crazy. Like, everything's got. Everything is Ohio. No, it's just like, we weren't all on the same bra brain wavelength as kids.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, but we kind of were for Whatever reason, dude, you regional little boy in outside of Chicago, Little boy in Omaha. Little boy not even anywhere near Oakland even though he claims it. No three little boys all heard this. The same story about a Marilyn Manson removing a rib and sucking his own dick. We're all on the same wavelength.

[Anders Holm]

That is a good point. That's a good point. Yeah. That's a good point.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But as far as, like, I told you, dude, slang and things that are people throwing around. Like, you. You guys weren't saying cats. That's something that I grew up saying. Cats constantly.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, so many cats.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

California beat it out of me.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, you're damn right.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Now I say dudes way too much.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I'm always saying dudes. I'm always dropping dudes. A casual dude.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I'm a dude. But, like, never said hella. I know. That's a BAE thing.

[Anders Holm]

Well, yeah. Now it's everywhere.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And what was the Omaha thing you brought to the table?

[Anders Holm]

Runzas run.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. We have no slang. We have no slang.

[Kyle Newacheck]

There's got to be something.

[Anders Holm]

I'm still gonna send it. There's got.

[Blake Anderson]

We say pop, you know, that's just a Midwestern thing.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, but like that when you're talking about when you shoot somebody, right?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Popped his ass. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Pop that pheasant.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Feathers.

[Kyle Newacheck]

On my block, we said wedded, but, you know, like, we're saying to each their own now.

[Blake Anderson]

It's all the same suburban block that.

[Anders Holm]

I've seen very wedded. I wedded that.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Do you see me wet that pheasant?

[Blake Anderson]

I'm wet friendship.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. It feels good, doesn't it?

[Blake Anderson]

That's. That's insane.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Skibidi toilet is real.

[Anders Holm]

Skibidi toilet.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm kind of. I kind of thought that that had died.

[Anders Holm]

No, it's happening in resurgence.

[Blake Anderson]

Wow.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's. It's happening in children.

[Blake Anderson]

Is it. Is it the thing that it. Like, once the adults are sort of, you know, because the Internet, things will come and go so quickly, but then they'll just get stuck in kid in kiddom.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And then they'll. They'll keep it up for five, five to ten years.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's disturbing.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, I. I know. Like, that's. The other thing is, like, now coming from the point of view of, like, a parent is, like, seeing how long some of this has shelf life for. It's like, I could have swore Ohio was. Was done. It's still thriving.

[Blake Anderson]

What is it?

[Kyle Newacheck]

And we've covered this a little bit about, like, words lasting longer than you thought they would. Like, I can't believe dope is still around.

[Blake Anderson]

What is Ohio?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Go ahead, Blake.

[Anders Holm]

I don't even know how to explain Ohio. I even like wormed the Internet to try to find out, but like, kids think it's like the Internet.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I know this dude's dropping words. We don't know about words.

[Blake Anderson]

Wormed the Internet, dude.

[Anders Holm]

They think it's like some kind of like mystical, mystical place or something. Or it's like haunted. There's just a whole. I remember there being a little B song about Ohio.

[Blake Anderson]

So in context, how do you. How do you use. How do you use it?

[Anders Holm]

I don't. It just. It just can go in front of anything.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Like, they just say it. They just say it. It's just a thing you just say.

[Anders Holm]

You say it, bro.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Ohio, skippity toilet.

[Blake Anderson]

So they just say like, oh, dude, my. My dad's house is so Ohio.

[Anders Holm]

Or Ohio, skippity toilet.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay. Hey, when you string it all together, I kind of like the brain rod.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He's not even lying. It could, yo, let's go run to Starbucks and get some coffee and someone will be like, ohio, sco that. And you're like, sigma confirmation. Cool. Sigma.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, it's. It's just words that it's. I think it's like their language and they know that old like us don't understand it, so it's fun to throw around.

[Blake Anderson]

And that's why they. That's why they like it so much. Yeah, yeah.

[Anders Holm]

It's just because it. It pisses us off.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's like.

[Blake Anderson]

I get it.

[Anders Holm]

Stop saying Omaha.

[Kyle Newacheck]

The other one we've talked about before is giving. Dude, I was around my niece and her friends.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And they were throwing giving around so casually and so just like without missing a step.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm pissed now. I'm so excited to tell my fully grown 32 year old wife that so she can stop doing it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, they're 14, so come on.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, yeah, Come on, dude. Just embrace it.

[Blake Anderson]

You don't want to be like the 14 year old.

[Anders Holm]

Come on, giving old geezer. Bro, chill.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I don't want to say anything more before we get into this jeopardy, okay? We just fucking skated right past it last week.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, Blake. And I'm sorry I slipped on it. You know, I have my excuses, as one does when, when not supporting a friend the way they should. They have your excuses and sure, yeah, you know, yada, yada, family, little baby birthdays, Ohio, skippity toilet, toilet.

[Anders Holm]

It's all to me.

[Blake Anderson]

It's you were so good on the. On the episode.

[Anders Holm]

Whoa.

[Blake Anderson]

You were better than I thought and also worse than I thought at the same time.

[Anders Holm]

Whoa.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Here.

[Anders Holm]

And the pendulum swings. Here it comes. Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

You were so confident, and I was. I'm like, look at him go. He's not wilting under the bright lights.

[Anders Holm]

Thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

While doing Jeopardy. He's dropping the. Who is. The. What is.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You don't think he can handle being under lights?

[Blake Anderson]

No, dude, no.

[Anders Holm]

I did seven seasons.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I know, but I had him real quick. His first. The first question or first answer that he questioned or whatever.

[Blake Anderson]

The first one I should have taken better.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He blew. It was the one about, like, the anagrams or whatever, where it's like, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, by the way, you're good at those. I couldn't get one.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I couldn't get any of them. I was like, how are they getting these?

[Anders Holm]

Wow. Thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

I was so bad at the anagram. I was. It was incredible how anyone could get any of them.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But I know why he's good. Because it's Internet.

[Anders Holm]

No, it's not.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Like, ttyl.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, yeah, I guess it is a little bit. Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Don't tell me what is and isn't my bad. Ohio.

[Anders Holm]

Skippity, skippy, skippity, skippity, LMAO or what?

[Kyle Newacheck]

All that kind of stuff.

[Anders Holm]

Like, you.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, great band. Great band. Even worse neighbors.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, okay. Sure, I know. Yeah, I know. Abbreviations, I guess. Or shorthand. Internet. Shorthand.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Alliterate or not alliteration, but yeah, those you. You crushed. And I was like, how are they getting these?

[Anders Holm]

Yes. I got. I got the very first answer, and I think everybody's fucking heart just dropped. They're like, oh, shit, you had people shook.

[Blake Anderson]

But. But by the way. By the way, Robin Theed. Is that her name?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay. Way smarter than you guys, dude. Like, a truly very smart person.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. Like, I think they were rolling out her credentials. Didn't she, like, write speeches with Michelle Obama? And then all of a sudden, I'm just from, like, orange.

[Blake Anderson]

She wrote for the White House.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think she wrote jokes at the White House.

[Anders Holm]

Well, I went to occ, which is.

[Blake Anderson]

Just a comedian's gig, and, yeah, they.

[Anders Holm]

Ain'T inviting me, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

I feel if you applied yourself, you.

[Anders Holm]

Could go farther, but I. I don't even. I don't. I don't think I could.

[Blake Anderson]

This is the low T talk.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think if you started by writing a joke down, that's. That's the start you have. You have to have written a thing down.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You. If you wr. Then the things become more things, and then people find out you wrote the things, and.

[Anders Holm]

Okay.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But I do like the idea of Blake rolling up to the writers room like this. So I kind of just like, kind of say stuff, but, like, I'm sort.

[Blake Anderson]

Of a vibe guy.

[Kyle Newacheck]

If someone else wants. If you feel like you could write.

[Anders Holm]

My vibe down, vibe me out.

[Blake Anderson]

So Robin Theed, a fucking crusher, a killer and total. I think they say at the end, she didn't miss one.

[Anders Holm]

She didn't miss one, right.

[Blake Anderson]

She batted 1,000.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Losing confidence.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. But you were way funnier. You were the most charismatic. I liked watching you the best. I'll say that. You weren't the best at the game. As far as the gameplay goes. You were maybe the worst.

[Anders Holm]

Yes.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Anders Holm]

Strategy wise.

[Blake Anderson]

Strategy wise because. Because those first two, you got three daily doubles.

[Anders Holm]

I did the.

[Blake Anderson]

Which, by the way, that's a ticket to winning. To winning.

[Anders Holm]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

And then you would have went to the quarterfinals. And, Blake, nothing would have made me happier for you to advance in celebrity Jeopardy. And then I have to put you on a pedestal as one of my smartest friends, and now I don't have to do that, and that feels better for me. But I. I wish. I kind of wish I. I could. And I would.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, I know. It would have changed the complete narrative of our friendship, of my. My life. Yeah, it would have. It would have changed everything.

[Blake Anderson]

Would have instilled some conf.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He did some work, though. He did some work. But the ones you didn't get personal, they were like, almost as if I wrote them for you. And it crushed my soul.

[Anders Holm]

I almost thought as I was there, I was like, maybe they thought Ders was going to do it. And then you didn't. And then I took your spot because they were almost geared towards you. Even the final.

[Blake Anderson]

Did you see. Dude, did you see the workout one? The fact that you didn't get all of those two?

[Kyle Newacheck]

What was the workout ones? What's one question from that?

[Blake Anderson]

It was called, like, working it out, and it was like an elliptical, and it was high intensity. High intensity interval training. Yes, sir.

[Anders Holm]

And, Adam, I knew these things. Do you guys. The buzzer is half the battle, bro.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He's saying your name before the sentence so you know that it's real.

[Anders Holm]

The news flash, people in jeopardy. The buzzer.

[Kyle Newacheck]

YouTube.

[Anders Holm]

The buzzer is half the battle. It really.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Is it really about that? Because you just got to get to get it. Get to get it. Like, you're doing no You.

[Anders Holm]

You think? Because, hey, man, I grew up playing Tekken. I got fast joystick fingers. Like, I'm good there, Cheetah head. Dude. I am definitely king. That is our guy. But the thing is, when they're asking the question, after Ken has completed the question, the frame around the board lights up. That is your signal to go. If you hit your button before that shit lights up, you actually get locked out for, like, three seconds. Oh, oh.

[Blake Anderson]

So then you're.

[Anders Holm]

Then you're so. You're totally it.

[Blake Anderson]

So you were bad at the. So you're saying Robin was just better at following basic directions, or was she?

[Anders Holm]

No, no, no, no.

[Kyle Newacheck]

She.

[Anders Holm]

Sometimes she was just faster. We have to give her that. She has a lightning thumb. She has a quick wit. She's smart. She's the total package, guys.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Okay?

[Blake Anderson]

Hey, I'm saying she was. She was great on the show. Yeah, you were funnier. You were funnier. And it's. It is a celebrity, you know?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Anders Holm]

We're there to entertain.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's what it's about.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, Yeah. I think I won the heart of the audience, you know?

[Blake Anderson]

You won my heart, man. You're a stud up there, dude.

[Anders Holm]

Thank you, man. I really appreciate that. But with that said, I don't know, because the winner goes on to the next round, I'm not sure who takes it all home. I would. I would say Robin's gonna do it also.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I mean, Blake, you. You can always be like, I'm real busy anyway. I don't have time to be, like, going back and.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, wow, that's life.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, actually.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Is that a good look?

[Blake Anderson]

You should have dropped that at the end.

[Anders Holm]

If I won. If I was just like, yeah, actually, I can't go to the next round. I gotta go.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It only works if you lose.

[Blake Anderson]

I like how much you were talking in between. Like, they're asking questions and. And before someone can answer, you're spouting off about something, because in actual jeopardy, they would have said, like, you cannot, sir. You're like. Because it would be hard to concentrate if. Because Blake's just saying shit. Which is very, very funny, dude. I was liking it. I was like, this guy's on a roll. He's feeling comfortable. I was intoxicated because you talked more during that episode of Television, the game show, where there's questions, there's answers, and you were talking more in between than you have on some live podcast that we've done.

[Anders Holm]

I just want.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think he needs the spotlight.

[Anders Holm]

Well, hey, I feel at home on the Jeopardy. Stage. I kind of felt like sort of an alpha dog there. But I was.

[Blake Anderson]

You did.

[Anders Holm]

Where.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Where did they film. Where did they film that?

[Anders Holm]

On the Fox lot?

[Kyle Newacheck]

No.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Forgot already. Forgot.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Very cool.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. What's all the blur?

[Blake Anderson]

Good lot.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Good lot. Great. That's a great lot to just walk around and dream about your future.

[Anders Holm]

That's great. Was it the Fox? I don't think it was the Fox lot, actually.

[Blake Anderson]

Dude. I remember the first time I was invited on the Fox lot. I met some Sony. It was after the Montreal Comedy Festival. And they just sort of invite all the new faces to the different studios just to meet them. And I was invited to Fox to meet some executive. And I was just trying to make conversation, but I came off sounding like such an asshole. I was like, dude. I was like, yeah. Walked around a little bit. This is. You know, I've been to most of the lots now, and I'd say this is my favorite lot, so I'd love to work on this lot. And they're like.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Been to zero lots. Having been to zero lots.

[Blake Anderson]

No, I think I'd been to like two other lots at this. This was like. Yeah. And then Universal Studio, not invited back for years.

[Anders Holm]

Hollywood, Fox, that's the one that has all, like the cool, like, hedges. Yeah, yeah. It has like Napoleon dynamite statue and then like the.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Hollywood. I like my life now. I've done a lot of things that I've wanted to do, but being 24 and driving a golf cart around a movie studio lot, that's ballin'I. Mean, it doesn't get better.

[Anders Holm]

That's fucking ballin'bro, that's the top.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It was the best.

[Blake Anderson]

No, sir. I don't like it. I mean, blow right past this.

[Anders Holm]

You're a monster and the addiction does not start anytime soon. Good for you, brother.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But you represented Blazer.

[Anders Holm]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[Blake Anderson]

It was very proud of you.

[Anders Holm]

It was very fun.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Did you know Eric the Red?

[Blake Anderson]

I. I did. Leif Erickson. But I said I was watching with Chloe last night on the couch, and I go. I go, leif Erickson. And she goes, what? And I'm like, I guess I would have won. And then I didn't own up to it, dude. I did not own up to it that you guys told me the end.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Did you know the Ghostbusters?

[Blake Anderson]

No, I didn't know that one either.

[Kyle Newacheck]

No one knew that you know the Ghostbusters?

[Anders Holm]

I did, but in that moment, I was trying to think of something funny to write down, so I was really, really cranking to.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, just.

[Anders Holm]

I couldn't. I was mathematically eliminated.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

If I could take anything back, I would have done the math to where. When I lost, I finished with $420. But.

[Blake Anderson]

But math. Basic math.

[Anders Holm]

I thought of that after, and I would have to do math.

[Blake Anderson]

469, dude.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. 69 would have been sick.

[Blake Anderson]

Perfect. So, Blake.

[Anders Holm]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

The fact that you. Your gameplay was so bad, and I don't mean to dunk on you, because we just got done hyping.

[Anders Holm]

No, no, no, no.

[Blake Anderson]

Saying how good.

[Anders Holm]

No, it was.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He went big.

[Blake Anderson]

But the fact that on the first daily double, when she was already w. So she. It looks like she's running away with it, and she is playing her cards correctly. She knows what she's doing. She's not gonna just bet at all on a whim. Why didn't you then try to catch up?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, he tried after. He tried later.

[Anders Holm]

I'm a dumbass. I tried later.

[Blake Anderson]

He doubled at the very last one. He got three daily doubles, and on the last one, he finally tried. And that was on the hardest question. Yes, that was on, like, a 1500 point question.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You could have done that, Checkers. Not just. Come on.

[Anders Holm]

Look, look. The. The. The. The second daily double I got was, like, the category was, like, two things or whatever, and it. It could. It was so wide open that I.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He's gonna throw.

[Blake Anderson]

Dude. The first one was such a layup question. I'm like. It was the Foo Fighters in Nirvana.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, that's the one. Yes. That was my lane right there. But come on. I. Again, in preparation for the show, I. I, like, studied. You know, I watched episodes, but I never truly, like, thought about the strategy of the daily doubles, and that was the huge error in my game. So every time it happened, I. I panicked.

[Blake Anderson]

Blake, I think that's. That's the only part of the game.

[Anders Holm]

That's the only part of the game. I know.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That you would need to.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't Strategize either. I would just go. I would go big because it's just go all in.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. I.

[Blake Anderson]

But even the 1,400.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And they think I'm crazy. They're like, what are you doing? You're an idiot. And I go, it. No guts, no glory. And I usually lose, but, like, when I do win, they're like, my dad is my hero.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, well, I imagine. I imagine I did eventually do it at the end, and it. And it. It destroyed me, and it made me lose the game. But.

[Blake Anderson]

But by the way, second place, you just. You also lost, so I was like, what? What kind of.

[Anders Holm]

I don't know. I.

[Blake Anderson]

And then you said, you don't have confidence in yourself. And then all I thought was his account and that.

[Anders Holm]

I know. It was almost. It was almost like it was scripted. It really. It was a really wonderful.

[Blake Anderson]

I was just like, this. This guy's low T. He can't even bet on a. On a game show. That. That means nothing. You're not keeping this money at all.

[Anders Holm]

No, no, it's going to the Turtles.

[Blake Anderson]

It's gonna go to the Turtles.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Turtle power.

[Blake Anderson]

I loved your joke about you saying that you're. You owe the Turtles money now.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. It was a blast.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Even though that's the whole concept is that, yeah, you. You do give. Yeah, you give, as opposed to, like, the Turtles are gonna pay you now. Anyway, I'm not gonna get into, like, the nuance of how the joke should work.

[Anders Holm]

Listen, here's one thing, guys. Have you noticed that now there is. There is a trivia Jeopardy where there's three players, and the host is calling Jost. Do you guys maybe want to go on that with me? Be a little.

[Kyle Newacheck]

What is this?

[Anders Holm]

It's called, like, not Trivia Jeopardy.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Geo party.

[Anders Holm]

It's. No, it's still Jeopardy, but it's. It's like Trivia Jeopardy.

[Blake Anderson]

What is Trivia Jeopardy.

[Anders Holm]

Not Trivia Jeopardy.

[Blake Anderson]

Wow, you're nailing this. But no, I don't do that.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Also, the producers. Let's pick my man up before he falls.

[Blake Anderson]

It's called pop culture.

[Anders Holm]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

So it's Jeopardy. Presents pop culture, or.

[Anders Holm]

Yes, yes, it's Pop Culture Jeopardy. And you get teams of three.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, okay.

[Anders Holm]

But it's the same format.

[Blake Anderson]

But okay, I might. I might be able to do pop culture.

[Anders Holm]

Let's do it. Let's do it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Hosted by Colin Jost.

[Anders Holm]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Blake, so. So we've established that you are the lowest team member of Ti Nation.

[Anders Holm]

Mm. I, I, I. No T. For me.

[Blake Anderson]

Do you? When. When are. When. And how are we going to set up? You getting testosterone treatment?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. I mean, so that's an option, right? I don't like. I don't really. I don't really want to. That's my. I'm not sure I want to. I don't want to really. I don't really want to change my body chemistry. I'm not like, huh. There's nothing that feels wrong.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I don't want to change my body chemistry. Coming from Mr. 24. Budweiser.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Blake. Change your body chemistry constantly. You're always changing it.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, my God.

[Blake Anderson]

You're killing cells on the day.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, that's. That seems a little. That doesn't happen, son.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You're two parts Jaeger.

[Anders Holm]

There's no repercussions to that. This would be taken for precautions.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It sounds like there might be one. Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

I don't know. I really don't know that I want to take tea.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Okay.

[Anders Holm]

I don't know that I want to do that.

[Blake Anderson]

And do we think that this is the low T talking? Like, maybe those that suffer from low T don't even. It's like when someone's really stupid and they. They don't know that they're stupid. I feel we're all. The level of stupid that we know we're stupid in some.

[Kyle Newacheck]

In some ways aware and a lot.

[Anders Holm]

Of good to know. It's good to know. It's important to know you're stupid.

[Blake Anderson]

It's good to know maybe you're so low T that you don't even realize that how much better life is when you have more tea.

[Anders Holm]

Well.

[Blake Anderson]

And we're talking testosterone, obviously.

[Anders Holm]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. And now that you guys mentioned it, like, I have been clocking morning wood now, and it is happening to me.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I am so sorry. This has been a thing for you to. A cross for you to bear.

[Anders Holm]

No, I mean it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Because I haven't thought about it at all. Like, I haven't been.

[Anders Holm]

Like.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It hasn't.

[Anders Holm]

Well, you're not being DMed constantly when.

[Blake Anderson]

You watched him on Jeopardy and he did not have the confidence during the first daily double when he's down by half to make a larger bet.

[Kyle Newacheck]

No, it's inescapable.

[Blake Anderson]

And then he says, I don't have the confidence.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I'm talking about for myself having maybe the most tea.

[Anders Holm]

Anders. It's. It's constantly being parroted back to me like every. It's. It's been the source of conversation for the last three weeks. Of course it's on my mind now.

[Blake Anderson]

If people taking you aside and has your mom been like, hey, honey, you know that you're perfect the way you are? Like, did. No, did your girl did Sam. Was she just like, hey, you know, don't let those guys get you down.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, no, you got enough. Enough tea for me. Are the DMs getting flooded with insults and adding insult to injury again?

[Anders Holm]

It's not to me. It's not an insult. I stand by this. I don't let tea define me. I like who I am.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But, you know, my question is, are they sliding the DMs and are trying to kick you when you're quote unquote down?

[Blake Anderson]

Which he is.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Because if they are numbers, hey, you guys are losers. You don't even know your tea. Go take your tea. I bet it's.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, go.

[Blake Anderson]

I bet you have no tea.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Adam, my boy, just being nice.

[Anders Holm]

There are lots of.

[Blake Anderson]

I know.

[Anders Holm]

Thank you for sticking up for me, giant tea man.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, but also, like, get a life. Not us. We have lives. We. We go around this the country testing our testosterone. That's our lives. And.

[Blake Anderson]

And bringing it up in front of professional athletes.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, why don't you cry about it?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, no, I mean, there's plenty of people who. Who won' it, but, I mean, it's. It's the. It's the bit that is keeps on bitten, and I like it. We are having fun with it, but there's also very nice people who are, you know, justifying that. It's not that low, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

I bet. Low T nation. All the low T friends and family of the podcast, they've come out. They support you. They are crocheting you blankets.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

To keep warm. I love you guys. A lot of crocheted blankets because I'm. I'm sure you shiver.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Would like. Would a leaked dick pic help your cosplay?

[Anders Holm]

I think yeah, like a. Just a straight up freaking sex tape, bro. What if I. All right, drop it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Cool.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Even better. Save it.

[Blake Anderson]

Save it. Save for the pot.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Live on the pod.

[Anders Holm]

Save your sex tape for the pod. That's kind of tight.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I'll be so.

[Blake Anderson]

So, Blake, you're. You're. Because we have an offer on the table. Ders and I are willing to pay. I don't know how much it is. I don't know, but whatever it is, we're willing to pay. Okie dokie.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And we're hoping to sp. Sponsor covers it also.

[Blake Anderson]

We are also hoping a sponsor reaches out and covers a lot of it.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Would you do new genics?

[Anders Holm]

Was that what Doug Flutie was pushing?

[Blake Anderson]

Yep.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Doug Flutie pushes. And Frank Thomas, he pushes new genics.

[Blake Anderson]

And by the way, he looks great. And also, he's a slight man like you.

[Anders Holm]

Okay, well, I'm not.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And I'll tell you what, she'll like it too.

[Anders Holm]

Okay. Okay.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's what they always say.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, righty.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's what they always say. I don't know what it means.

[Anders Holm]

I don't know. I, I really. Again, I'm, I'm. There's nothing I don't feel low energy.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You look great.

[Blake Anderson]

You're glowing.

[Anders Holm]

Thanks. I, I.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You look high. I'll be honest. You look high. Teeth.

[Anders Holm]

Thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

Honestly, if, If I'm being 100%.

[Anders Holm]

Huh? Keep it 100.

[Blake Anderson]

We always joke that you are the lowest T. And it's went back. People, like, dug in the crates and found, like, old episodes where we're talking about how you're, like, not horny enough. The one where we're. I think it's.

[Kyle Newacheck]

By the way, people get a. Get a fucking life digging in the crates to kick my man.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. I liked it, though. But I think I'm glad. That's your life.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's mid tea. That's mid tea.

[Anders Holm]

That's life. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It is funny.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

So we've, we've had this, you know, established. So we all, we, everyone picked Blake as having the low T, yada yada. But I was a little worried it was going to be me. I'm on a lot of medicine. I'm like, maybe that affects the tea. I don't know. I've been kind of out of it the last couple years. Health wise. I'm like, your boy might have lost some teeth.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But then it was also brought to our attention that you probably have because of the medications that you're on, that your team's probably been boosted.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't think this is. I mean, I'm on muscle relaxers and painkillers. I don't know.

[Anders Holm]

The, the, the stem cells.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Dude, that was my nickname in high school. Painkiller.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, that's cool.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And I got arguably the highest T in the crew now.

[Anders Holm]

Hey, whoever gave you that.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. Points.

[Anders Holm]

That's for whoever gave you that nickname.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I mean, too. Being a three years older, roughly three years old than you guys, give or take 10 years. I was also like, I probably have the lowest T. Arguably the highest.

[Blake Anderson]

We were all Doubting our T levels.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, but you guys also did it earlier in the morning, and I did it later in the afternoon, which they.

[Blake Anderson]

Said should have boosted your T levels.

[Anders Holm]

No, earliest is when your T is the highest. Okay.

[Kyle Newacheck]

So I wouldn't know. Never cared to look it up. Didn't need to defend myself at all.

[Anders Holm]

Well, I have my back against the wall, and the castle is under attack.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Right. So it's science.

[Blake Anderson]

So that sucks. So you're not willing to entertain.

[Anders Holm]

I am willing to entertain it. I will have to look into it a little more. I don't want to turn into, like, some kind of, like.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Of course.

[Anders Holm]

Raged out. Red, veiny. I. I like me.

[Blake Anderson]

You don't want to look like a human. Yeah, you don't look like. I don't know.

[Anders Holm]

I. I like. Who?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Could be worse.

[Blake Anderson]

Could be worse.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Could be worse.

[Blake Anderson]

But. No, I understand what you're saying. Like, those old guys who take it roughly. Anders. Age, and they take it and then they suddenly they look red to the touch. You know what I mean? You don't want that. You don't want that, and I don't want that for you.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Red to the touch.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. And I.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You mean, like, what do you. What does red to the touch mean?

[Blake Anderson]

It's a phrase, and I think I'm using it correctly. It's like when you touch your skin and it's red, and then you touch.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It, it's already red.

[Blake Anderson]

Or it's red after it's already red, and then you touch it and you see, like, the whiteness under the skin. You know what I mean?

[Anders Holm]

Y.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Right. Like a sun.

[Anders Holm]

The blood is. Yeah. To closer to the surface.

[Blake Anderson]

It's right there. It's ready to escape.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I don't know if I like that phrase.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. It should be white to the touch.

[Anders Holm]

Why don't you turn blue?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Right, Cuz.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

From the touch.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, yeah. I'm glad we did. We got in there and.

[Anders Holm]

Me too.

[Blake Anderson]

Should be white to the touch, but seems racist. So it's red to the touch.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Arguably more racist. Go ahead.

[Anders Holm]

Could be racist. Yeah, maybe.

[Blake Anderson]

Possibly. Now that we dug deep.

[Anders Holm]

Well, hey. Okay. Can I pivot a little bit? Since we were talking? Have you guys ever watched.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Look at this guy taking charge.

[Blake Anderson]

All right, guys, I went down with the applause button. Blake, hit us with the applause button.

[Anders Holm]

I don't have enough. I don't have things. Sucks. I don't have that.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But go ahead. Go ahead.

[Anders Holm]

I stayed up till one o'clock last night.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Nobody tells you to go to sleep.

[Anders Holm]

Episode after Episode after episode of My Men. Have you guys ever tuned into Beast Games? The Mr. Beast Show? No, and I hate that I'm not proud to be promoting this because I don't know much about Mr. Beast.

[Blake Anderson]

I think he's fine.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think he's a good guy. He, like, cures people's blindness and stuff.

[Anders Holm]

You gotta watch the show, dude. It's fucking really good. And even when it's not good, it's, like, bad good. So it's just. It's.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's just a double whammy.

[Blake Anderson]

I watched. I. I think I watched, like, a episode, and they were kind of just trying to do squid games, but real.

[Anders Holm]

Yes. It starts with, like, a thousand people.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But wasn't Beast Games. Wasn't there a Beast Games that the Rock hosted?

[Anders Holm]

That was.

[Blake Anderson]

That was Titan. Titan Games, yes.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, wait. With Schwarzenegger, not sports. Sliced Alone. Am I crazy? Okay, whatever. Beast. Mr. Beast Games. Mr. Beast Games.

[Anders Holm]

Yes. I'm saying, like, jump in, watch episode one and see if you're hooked on Netflix or what? I think it's on Amazon.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Ooh, the user interface I don't really.

[Blake Anderson]

Love, so I think it is on Netflix. Maybe. Maybe I'm wrong, but Prime.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's on Prime.

[Blake Anderson]

No, they're saying Prime. They're Prime.

[Anders Holm]

Prime. Prime. All right.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Worth.

[Blake Anderson]

Worth checking out.

[Anders Holm]

Dude, check it out. It is crazy. I couldn't get enough.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm listening to this audiobook because I'm angel.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And okie dokie. But it's all about these. These, grandma. I'm so bad with pills. I was never a pill head or anything. So what are the pills that they come in? Bar Xanax. So these.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Adam feels so bad for not being a pill head. He's like, I know.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm sorry. I wish I was a pill head. It was kind of.

[Anders Holm]

Allegedly, he really wanted a pill face.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, I wish I had it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You talking Zannies, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

That's why we need Kyle here. That's why we need Kyle. He's the pop.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Zani Bra.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I don't know if he was.

[Blake Anderson]

No, not really.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Go ahead. Zani. Zargo.

[Anders Holm]

I think he said Percocet.

[Blake Anderson]

So Xanax.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. Zany bar.

[Blake Anderson]

These Xanax dealers in Charleston. And they were. It's called among the Bros. It's sick, dude. These kids were, like, 18, 19, 20, and they built, like an empire. They were all millionaires. College frat bros out of the College of Charleston in, like, 2000, 14, 15, 16, and 17, I think. And one of the Guys, one of that, I think, essentially kind of a snitch was. Went by the nickname Ders. And I'm like, oh, for sure, dude. For sure. That kid was just. The show friends was released.

[Anders Holm]

The Ders.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Free him from prison. Gotta love that.

[Blake Anderson]

And I just. I thought that was so funny. I'm like, oh, yeah, for sure. These kids were building their drug empire.

[Anders Holm]

While watching our dumbass show workaholics in the background.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Can producers pull that up at all? I mean, I imagine his last name was Anderson or Dirkowitz. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Or Durkowitz.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm assuming he was probably just a straight edge guy. By the way, the Charleston look is very much an Anders Holm look. You know what I mean?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Or at Anders home, Vic look, look more so look.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

The, like, khakis and the boat shoes and, like, the tucked in pastels.

[Blake Anderson]

Absolutely.

[Anders Holm]

What was it? Brooks Brothers.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's intense.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Brooks Brothers rest in peace.

[Anders Holm]

What? It's dead.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's gone.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, wow. That was the end of an era for you.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

That's crazy.

[Blake Anderson]

Everyone there. And I love Charleston. It's awesome. And I'm saying everyone, but. And that obviously isn't the case, but. Because there's a very cool part of Charleston with very cool people. But okay, the normal aesthetic is either you look like you're about to go golfing, you're about to go on a yacht, or you just got done fishing. That's it. I think that would cover 80% of people that are in Charleston.

[Anders Holm]

Those are the style.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's a look. Yeah. The short khaki shorts and tucked in pastel polo look for, like, fraternity dudes. When there's, like, a pack of them all together is intense.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. What is it?

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah, we saw a lot of that in. In New Orleans. I felt we saw a lot of.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That just this week.

[Blake Anderson]

Huh?

[Anders Holm]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You see those frat bros up there on the. On the balcony?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Is that, like, you're ready for anything, like, golfing or, like, a casual event?

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think it just is, like, a identity of, like, I come from money, or at least I want to look like it.

[Blake Anderson]

Do not come.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And I remember when I was in college wanting to look older.

[Anders Holm]

Right.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's because you're, like, like, trying to look 21, so you're trying to look a little bit older, so you're wearing, like. I mean, we thought they were like, dad shoes to, like, boat shoes. That's like a dad move in my Mind back in the day, like a.

[Anders Holm]

Like Sperry. Are they called Sperry?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah. Or like, bass. My dad rocked basses. His feet were all up.

[Anders Holm]

What's a bass?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Bass is a company I gotta check out.

[Anders Holm]

Bad.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. So I. But I feel like high school kids and college kids, they just dress how their friends dress. And weirdly, in the South. The South?

[Kyle Newacheck]

You said South.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, gotcha.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You said south, though.

[Blake Anderson]

They dress like how their dad's dress.

[Anders Holm]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

You know what I mean? Their dad's dressed this way, and so they're like, I'm gonna dress that way, too.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

With the. With the shades on. Like the Croakies and stuff. I love that we.

[Kyle Newacheck]

We would dress similar, but if you. If you had a thing that someone else had in your friend group, like, you. If they had a first, you just. You couldn't wear it when you were all out together. That was just kind of the code.

[Anders Holm]

Right?

[Kyle Newacheck]

I remember a homie of mine had a pair of 1300 new balances, and I was like, where'd you get those? And he's like, well, are you gonna get them? And I go, I'm gonna get them, and I'm not gonna wear them until I go back to college. Common courtesy. But I need to know where you got them.

[Anders Holm]

That's cool. So you just kept them in the box?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Kept them on the. In the box. And then when I got to school, I broke them out.

[Blake Anderson]

I didn't realize. I thought you only became a shoe dork when you. That's what you call them, right? When you started to make money. But you. I know.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I've always been a shoe dork. I just didn't have money. But I think the real floodgates opened when workaholics happened, and Adidas was like, hey, do you want to come to the showroom a couple times a year?

[Anders Holm]

They don't.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Whatever.

[Anders Holm]

They don't do that for me anymore. Damn it.

[Blake Anderson]

The fact that you had that plug. I. I didn't. I never got. I never got it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's because you guys. I think you guys could have gone. But also, I did. My character.

[Anders Holm]

I did.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah. My character wore Adidas on the show.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Like, I wore the track tops. So our costume guy, Jerry, was like, I'll set you up. And they've been good to me ever since.

[Anders Holm]

Lucky gosh.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But anyway, yeah, I was always, like, very specific, you know? But like. Yeah, then you get some money, and you get a little carried away.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is it real?

[Kyle Newacheck]

But the matching. The matching was, like, a deal breaker. I remember a homie of mine in college got the same shoes as me, and I was like, like, what are you doing?

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He was like, what? I go, no, not okay yet.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, to me, that. That doesn't. I don't care at all about that. Unless, like, suddenly you still.

[Anders Holm]

We would rock, like, lrg all the same clothes because we were all getting lrg, and we would walk out the door in the same exact shirt, and you'd be like, cool, dude. We match, dude. I like it.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm like, oh, sick, Adam.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And by the way, having, like, a team uniform going out with a bunch of dudes in a specific thing on purpose is always a good time.

[Anders Holm]

Oh, yeah. Hey, man.

[Blake Anderson]

I like an accidental same shirt.

[Anders Holm]

No, I don't mind it.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't.

[Anders Holm]

I mean, don't get me. Me and my bros.

[Blake Anderson]

I love when you look across the room.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But you just said accidental. You just said accidental. No, I don't mind being like, whoa. But when it's like, hey, check these out. I got them.

[Anders Holm]

We're all. We're all wearing our NWO shirts today. Yeah, I understand that. Come on.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But even a run in. Even a run in where you. You link up with somebody, they got the same thing. You go, well, look at us. But when there's an intentional, like, hey, I got the thing that you got.

[Anders Holm]

When we're going to the MTV Movie Awards and you switch shirts to match me.

[Blake Anderson]

Did I?

[Kyle Newacheck]

What?

[Anders Holm]

No, but that would be cool.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But I thought me and Adam had, like, similar windbreakers somewhere, and they were like, did you guys do that on purpose? And we're like.

[Blake Anderson]

We're like. We did not hold up.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And I was fuming.

[Blake Anderson]

No, I think that. I think that was the, like, Guy's Choice Awards. Remember that?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

We've got to bring those back. Come on, Trump. Bring them back.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think they go on, and they just don't invite us.

[Anders Holm]

I don't.

[Blake Anderson]

No, no.

[Anders Holm]

Spike doesn't exist.

[Blake Anderson]

Spike is gone.

[Anders Holm]

RIP Spike. The greatest network of our time.

[Kyle Newacheck]

What have I been watching?

[Anders Holm]

I don't know, brother.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, I guess I've been watching old. I got, like, a recording as a Spike. I can't. I kept. Because I knew it would go away someday. I was like, I got to record some hours of this.

[Blake Anderson]

I feel like the best thing about Trump being president again.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Here we go.

[Blake Anderson]

I bet. I bet Spike is just.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Here's your second.

[Anders Holm]

Here we go. Who cares?

[Blake Anderson]

I bet Spike's gonna come back.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah.

[Anders Holm]

And you know what else I bet there?

[Blake Anderson]

I, you know, like the. The guy who has the rights to Spike tv, he's just in the wings being like, all right, any day.

[Anders Holm]

What's up, big dog? What's up? I got a proposition for you. Let's bring it back.

[Blake Anderson]

Channel for dudes that like movies. Wasn't that their thing?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, that's what I watched in prison. Movies for guys who like movies.

[Anders Holm]

That was tnt.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

No.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Movies for guys that like movies. Oh, really? What was Spike's thing? Wasn't it just like whip your out?

[Kyle Newacheck]

Oh, is that what you heard?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Interesting.

[Anders Holm]

I don't think Spike had a saying. I think it was just like guy cons.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Of course it had something. But yeah, every.

[Blake Anderson]

Every channel, every cable channel needed a thing. A little stank.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, we know. Drama.

Hi, it's Jenny Garth. We all know the importance of taking care of our physical and mental health health, but what about our sexual health? I've been there feeling totally stuck when it comes to my libido. That's why I started taking Addi and let me tell you, I have seen firsthand what a difference it can make in how you feel. Addi is the only FDA approved pill clinically proven to help certain premenopausal women have more interest in sex, have more satisfying sex and lower the stress from low libido. Addy has helped hundreds of thousands of women get their drive back, including me. Talk to your doctor or visit A-Y-I.com to learn more about Addie the Little Pink Pill. Individual results may vary.

[Adam Devine]

Addy or Flibanserin is for pre menopausal women with Acquired Generalized Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder HSDD who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past who have had low sexual desire. No matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner, this low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem. Problem problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDI is not for use in children, men or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink one to two standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDI dose. Wait at least two hours after drinking before taking ADDI at bedtime. This risk increases if you take certain prescriptions, OTC or herbal medications, or have liver Problems and can happen when you take addi without alcohol or other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of Addi's ingredients. Allergic reaction may include hives, itching, or trouble breathing. Sometimes serious sleepiness can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and dry mouth. See folk medication guide including box [e-mail].

[Unknown]

PI addi visit a d d y I.com to learn more about Addie.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Wait, Blake.

[Anders Holm]

What.

[Kyle Newacheck]

What's this Mr. Beast show? Is this American Gladiators? Is this like. Is this like whiplash or not whiplash? What do they call it? Swipe out? Is this wipeout? What are we talking about here?

[Anders Holm]

It's not super physical, actually. It's a lot of, like, group decision making on who gets voted out. It's.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I am so out.

[Anders Holm]

No, dude, you have to watch because everybody on the show is crazy and it's a thousand people and no one is seems to be saying, I don't enjoy those things. No, I think you would. You gotta give it a shot.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Okay?

[Anders Holm]

You gotta give it a shot.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But if I don't like it, I'm coming for you.

[Anders Holm]

Okay? But you also have to watch it. As in, like, it's just like crazy to watch the human interaction. These people are.

[Kyle Newacheck]

So don't tell me. I'll just watch it. I'll just watch it. Just let me watch it. How I. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take it.

[Blake Anderson]

I bet Ders is not gonna like it. I watched two episodes of it. And if I. Because you know how durs.

[Anders Holm]

I know how he is. I know.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, you know how he could be.

[Jenny Garth]

Goodbye.

[Blake Anderson]

And I think. I think he doesn't seem like a thing he would like.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Here, I'll. Let me just. I'll take my headphones off. You guys talk about how I am.

[Anders Holm]

About just allow yourself to have some fun. Allow yourself to just kind of, you know, just watch it.

[Blake Anderson]

Don't analyze it. Don't break it down.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, yeah, just watch it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I'll just say this. I'm not a huge fan of, like, strategy shows. I'm not a strategy person. I'm not strategic. We've covered this about jeopardy. I would go big I for the fuck of it. So watching, like when I go to those lock in rooms, what are they called where you get locked in the room?

[Anders Holm]

Escape room.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I just sit down and I watch everyone go crazy and I go, I'll be. You guys figure it out. I don't care. Let's just get out let's just get out. You guys sort it out.

[Anders Holm]

Well then you'll never get out. You got, you gotta.

[Kyle Newacheck]

No, they figure it out. They figure it out.

[Anders Holm]

Wow. Well, then in this, in that case, I'm, now I'll be very curious if you even fuck with the show a little bit, because I thought it was, it's just very of the time, very, just interesting. And you never, you kind of never know what's gonna happen. Okay, but also, Mr. Beast is such a, interesting dude.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Okay, now I see what's happening here. You like Mr. Beast? All six, five of them.

[Anders Holm]

Dude, I, I know so little about him. I know so little about him.

[Blake Anderson]

I, I, I know exactly what you're talking about because weirdly, the other day, and I don't know why, because I watched those two episodes like a month ago or whenever it, this show first came out. It's been a while now, though. Yeah, it's been a while.

[Anders Holm]

Been a while.

[Blake Anderson]

And just the other day I was like, I never on YouTube, like ever. I never go to YouTube. I never watch YouTube videos. It's just not a platform that I even look at at in my every day. So I went there and I'm like, what is Mr. Beast about? I, I just learned that he's going to be a billionaire and he's 26 years old. And you're like, holy, like, what is this kid doing? And I go, and all of it, it's like huge production. And I, I saw this interview where he was saying, last year I was on a plane 200 days out of the year and I'm grinding so hard because no one else will. And I'm like, okay, you're like killing yourself to, for, for YouTube. But I mean, he's making a fortune and, and he's young and good for him. And he could quit when he's 30 and, and be done.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I like how you're like, he can quit. He could quit now.

[Blake Anderson]

Totally. Totally.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He can quit five years ago.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, but you know what I mean? I'm like, he's making so much money at such a young age. Like, you have, have, you don't have a family. You can just go, yeah, but once.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You hit $800 million at 24, you.

[Blake Anderson]

Can go, yeah, I don't think he's there yet. I think his, I looked it up. His net worth right now is 500 million.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But they're saying, oh, he's a loser.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, he's a total loser. Yeah, he hasn't made a billion yet.

[Anders Holm]

That's life.

[Blake Anderson]

But Low T. So I was like, what did he start out at? So I went to his YouTube. I scrolled all the way down to his first videos, and it was just him playing, like, Fortnite and shit and just talking and talking over it.

[Anders Holm]

He was just like a twitcher.

[Kyle Newacheck]

That's a lot of these guys start.

[Anders Holm]

It's crazy.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And then he would post all the time. And then he started. You could tell he's obsessed about the monetization of.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You could tell.

[Blake Anderson]

I had a hard time saying that word monetization of. Of YouTube because he was talking about, like, what other YouTubers make based on what and what he makes in comparison, which was like, I made 13 this month on YouTube.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's just a numbers crazy.

[Anders Holm]

And now that you. Well, that's exactly. That is actually what the show is about. It's just kind of like, everything is like, we're giving away $5 million. It's the most amount of money that's ever been given away. And you're presented with times when you can betray people for money. So it's all based on just what people will do for money. So.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yikes. I.

[Anders Holm]

It's weird.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Still gonna watch it.

[Anders Holm]

It's weird, but it's wild, dude. I. I like it. It. It's. It's kind of cringe. It's kind of cool cringe. And it keeps you on the hook.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, skibidi toilet, Ohio.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I remember seeing an interview where he was, like, trying to get his shows translated into as many languages as possible, because, like, then his reach is that much further, and he's like, you know, I pay this person X amount of dollars per year, but then I'm seeing, like, 10,000x of what I pay them as opposed to what I make for getting, like, all these people in the Philippines to watch my shows now. And I was like, yeah, bud, I'm.

[Anders Holm]

Still gonna send it.

[Blake Anderson]

Good for him. I wish. I wish we had one guy in our court that could even think that way.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's Kai.

[Blake Anderson]

Isaac is. Who knows where he's at. I'm listening. Did you guys talk about Blake's low T yet? Yeah, yeah, we did. We covered that.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Covered it. Punk rock getting radical. Yeah.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, we covered it.

[Kyle Newacheck]

No, I mean, it's. It is its own skill set that I applaud, but I'm. I'm also, like, to. To what? And I love the work he does outside of it, where he's like, hey, I went to so and so, and, like, all these blind people showed up, and I got them eye surgery. And now they can see. That shit's unreal.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah, it's wild. But also he. He has, he's like. Doesn't really have a personality. He's just like always smiling. It's like, like it's weird, dude. It's like the Joker has a game. It's weird.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You know The Joker's got a personality.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, yeah, he's not like the most like super. He's not like a super charismatic guy. It's not like he's like wanted to be a host and then figured out a way to do it online. It just. Yeah, it's. It is strange.

[Kyle Newacheck]

But have you ever watched his shows?

[Anders Holm]

I have not.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I've watched them. The like reality show stuff where it's like, okay, we're in here and they said the house was haunted. We're going to find out. And it's like super vanilla, perfect for like an 8 year old to watch 20 episodes in a row of, and you're good to go. And that's kind of his whole thing is he's got that kind of like good clean whatever that all the kids.

[Anders Holm]

Are watching, but also like the games that they came up with. I don't know who came up with the games if it was him and his team. Like some of the games, they're like, they're just really good. They're good puzzles.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Imagine you had. Had $500 million and you were giving away five. You hire people to come up with these games, Blake. That's television production.

[Blake Anderson]

Hire the best, the best production team.

[Anders Holm]

Well, whoever they are, are. They're good. They are good.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I mean, I think that's the whole idea.

[Anders Holm]

Good. Yeah, you gotta watch it, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

The worst part about, about watching this show is just thinking of all the seven year olds who are watching it going, oh yeah, Mr. Beast.

[Anders Holm]

Beast Burger. My feastables. My feastable. Feastable. Dude, I love being a freaking dad.

[Blake Anderson]

You never had it so good.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Good.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, any takebacks, any apologies, any epic slams here, boys?

[Kyle Newacheck]

It seems like Blake's already done an epic slam saying he has no personality.

[Blake Anderson]

Just dunk it, mister.

[Anders Holm]

Dude, he's a.

[Kyle Newacheck]

He's.

[Anders Holm]

He's interesting, man. He's. I can't figure him out. I want to figure him out, baby.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You want to know his takes? What are his takes?

[Anders Holm]

Or maybe, maybe I just want to leave him be. I don't know. Maybe it's better that way.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, yeah, no, it. You're right. It's like the. This, these Internet people that. That's where they live. That's Their. Their. Their lane. And like, a lot of them, they seem like they're treading. And I don't know Mr. Beast that well, so I don't know if he does this, but they're treading. They're treading other people's material. Like, like all the Internet comedians that do, like, little sketches, you're like, oh, that's someone's joke that you turn into a sketch, right? And you're just treading over old material. And then. But the. But these little kids that are watching have no idea. So they're just like. Yeah. And I don't know if they're doing that on purpose or they just, like, are one of those people that aren't funny themselves. So they just.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Yeah, it's a lot of that.

[Blake Anderson]

It's almost like repeating, like a movie quote. You know when someone's too good at repeating movie quotes and you're like, okay, well, you don't have anything original and funny to say yourself. Like, it's okay to know some movie.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Quotes, obviously, but this is being on any sports team. You're just hanging out with a bunch of guys who are quoting movies.

[Anders Holm]

It's the best I'm looking for.

[Kyle Newacheck]

For unsuspecting people to beat up. Up.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah.

[Kyle Newacheck]

Well, no. In New Orleans, Blake and I talked to some guy. I'm not going to get specific, but what was interesting was that, like, he was. He was like, I have 90 million followers or something absurd on Tick Tock.

[Blake Anderson]

Damn.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And he's like, but I can't take a day off, man. I've been doing this for like a decade and I can't take a day off. And I'm like, yes, you can. Nobody like you can. You can take a day off. That's the crazy thing about, like, let's say old media versus new media. Like, like, we can take a moment off on, like, projects and, like, come back and pop up in something no one cares. People go, whoa, oh, my guy, he's back. No one goes, I haven't seen him in six months. No way I'm gonna watch this.

[Blake Anderson]

Dead to me.

[Kyle Newacheck]

It's very.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, you gotta keep feeding the algorithm so it keeps pushing people to you.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. That's how you get a lot of followers. That's the new game. That's the new game. Content is.

[Blake Anderson]

It is much grosser. But. And by the way, I've had it. And I wonder if they. They were fans, I think, of the podcast. Multiple people at the super bowl said, I love your content. And, And I don't know Because I've said how much I hate that. I said how much I hate that on the podcast. But we've done a lot of these podcasts.

[Anders Holm]

Yeah. I think sometimes it's.

[Blake Anderson]

And I don't know if they. Sometimes it's tongue in cheek and other times, like, the person that's saying it to me, I'm like. Like, you're being sincere. And I hate that it's a. I love your content.

[Kyle Newacheck]

I think they're young. If they're young enough, dude, that's what they're saying.

[Anders Holm]

I'm an artist.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I'm an artist.

[Anders Holm]

I'm an artist.

[Kyle Newacheck]

And it covers the whole gamut, like, across the board. All your shows, your podcast, your movies, your content.

[Anders Holm]

Well, I love all our content. We do together. Guys. Thank you for hot content.

[Kyle Newacheck]

You're content with our content.

[Blake Anderson]

My burglary alarm. Burglary keeps going off. I. I have to go.

[Anders Holm]

Well, that's not good.

[Blake Anderson]
