Adam
Chilling. Yeah, this is a lot of chilling for you. For years. Yeah, a couple of years of chilling.
Ders
This is the way, like, I don't know which. I don't know the name of him, but you look like one. Like when you were just. Whatever face you were making, you look like one of the. Where the wild things. They are monsters.
Adam
Oh, I wasn't going to say that a dude.
Blake
Okay.
Adam
I was going to say you look more like. You're looking more and more like a professional wrestler, and I know that's what you are going for.
Blake
No, it's not.
Ders
I'm going ww. Where the wild. I don't know if it's okay. Maybe a. No, we're. We're fleshing it out. And by we, I mean me by myself, alone, searching.
Blake
I'm going more for UFC Fighter. But I get that you went wwe, right?
Ders
Who's the guy you want to look like?
Blake
Khabibi. I'm going for Kabibi, by the way.
Adam
Those men are all atrocious looking. And I'm sorry, I. I mean, you know, I know America and the world loves UFC neck and grandma and I. I like it. I like it, too.
Ders
I just look from the neck down.
Adam
Those guys all look like they've been punched in the face 1,000 times, which makes you all look. They all look the same, right? They have the same face.
Ders
I think you've covered this.
Adam
And then they. I don't think so. They're grotesquely ugly.
Blake
Okay, you.
Ders
We've covered this.
Adam
So that's. That's. That's what you want to go for?
Ders
You said that they all get hit in the face in the same spots, so they get the CRO Magnum brow and. And things.
Blake
Oh, yes, you get the hardened brow. I don't have that, though, maybe.
Adam
You know, we've done a lot of these podcasts. I might have myself.
Blake
What are we on?
Adam
Twice.
Blake
That much.
Adam
Not that much. Dude.
Blake
You're fucking disaster, my guy.
Adam
But that's what you want to look like.
Ders
But I do like when you say it as if you've never said it before.
Adam
Dude, I don't remember.
Ders
You're like, you know what I think.
Blake
Actually, well, that's the sign of a good actor as well, because you do take after, after take.
Adam
I, you know, I, I think I'm just dumb enough to be a really good actor.
Blake
Okay.
Ders
Yes.
Blake
I like this.
Adam
You know, like a really good actor where they could just lose them. Lose them.
Ders
You've said this before. I think you have.
Adam
They can lose themselves in the role because they kind of forgot who they were for a minute.
Ders
Right?
Adam
I yet to prove that, and I might not ever, but I know I could.
Ders
Yeah, but that's kind of the dance. That's the dance you're playing with the audience. And that's what, that's what keeps me coming back.
Blake
Let's call this episode. Have we talked about this before? But Adam role. Do you think, do you truly think would win you an Oscar? Do you got something in your back pocket that you're like this? If, if the world would let me do this character. I got the gold.
Adam
I'm a gay. I'm gay and also trans. And also I have down syndrome.
Blake
I'm not gay no more.
Adam
Okay, true. And it's based on a true story from someone.
Ders
So there's got to be someone.
Adam
And if I could pull that off.
Ders
I, I, I'm with you. I love it. But are you.
Blake
Are what you're. Yeah, like, I, I know what you're saying.
Adam
Rain the trophies upon me, cuz if.
Ders
You'Re still white, I'm not watching.
Adam
No, no, no, I'm. I'm still white. It's a really fancy. It's such a fancy. It's such a fancy director. Oh, it's such a fancy director that everyone goes, okay, okay. Maybe we give him the benefit of the doubt.
Ders
Do you know any fancy directors?
Adam
Yeah, Yorgos something or other.
Ders
Okie doy, fancy.
Adam
Yorgo something.
Blake
I think he's a UFC fighter.
Ders
Yeah, he might be. Those are like a little wild.
Adam
Yeah.
Ders
I'm thinking of like the, the British posh directors.
Blake
Who are they?
Ders
Whoever did like, the King Speech.
Adam
Oh, no. Someone asked me a little while ago, like, who would be. Who's your top five directors that you want to work with? And dude, I could not think of it. I couldn't think of a director. I was like, yeah, well, Spielberg for sure. George Lucas.
Blake
Zucker brothers, right? Russo brothers. Wachowski brothers.
Adam
Russo. All the brothers. All the brothers.
Blake
Uhhuh. Y get the w. It's the Wachowski brothers. Right.
Ders
Well, anymore.
Adam
Well, they're no longer no longer brothers. Maybe I do their life story.
Ders
Is that the life? Yeah.
Blake
There we go.
Ders
You play both of them too. Yeah, cuz I know. And by the way, we've covered this. Correct me if I'm wrong, They've both transitioned, right?
Adam
Yes, they.
Blake
Yes, we have covered that. Shit's important.
Ders
And we've covered this. We've covered this. But can you imagine transitioning and then having your brother be like, I'm gonna do it too. I'm doing it too. Yeah.
Adam
And you're like, he's such a follower, dude.
Ders
Oh, my God.
Blake
Yeah, I'm going back.
Adam
I'm doing. I'm doing my own thing. But you can't go back. You did that. You did the final snip and swipe.
Ders
No, they got money. They kept it on ice.
Adam
That's life. They cryogenically froze their swings.
Blake
So that's how it works.
Ders
I don't know if the biomechanically. I think they just put it on ice.
Adam
Yeah.
Ders
Encino Peace.
Blake
It's science. That's the movie. Wow. Good stuff, guys. Great start so far. This is why I love my job. You never work.
Ders
Can you grade us and tell us why?
Blake
I'm just thinking. We're. We're coming out. We're coming on fire, as I love to do. And my.
Ders
So no. No grades, Adam.
Adam
No coming on fire.
Blake
I refuse to grade. I'm not a big grader. I don't like grading. I think that that's an old school guy.
Ders
Doesn't even grade shoes.
Adam
You know what? It is why you're. Why you look so absolutely insane right now, Blake, and it's because you have what appears to be like, you've tried to grow a beard and it's really bad looking. And that's coming from someone who also grows bad beards. So I know it when I see it.
Ders
I thought your beard was okay, but your mustache was questionable.
Adam
Yeah, that. That is true. The beard was fine. The mustache. Because that beard is really bad, my dude.
Blake
Is it really? Yeah.
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
I thought I was fucking slaying this beard. Like, I keep taking selfies of myself.
Ders
No, you got to stop hanging out with Tebow, who's always like, yeah, he's dapping people up. He's making you feel good. But it.
Adam
Dude, I feel like that is correct. Blake hangs out with the Tebow. And Tiba is maybe the most positive.
Blake
A good friend, an encouraging person, someone who supports me well. He does tear me down at every turn.
Ders
It's how people land skateboarding tricks. They have to have that.
Adam
Yes. You have to have unearned confidence.
Blake
Hold up. It's kind of how everybody does everything in life. If you want to excel, you need people in your corner who actually uplift you. The world will crush you.
Ders
I completely disagree. I was raised by everyone who said you couldn't do anything.
Adam
Yeah. And we. And we could tell that about you.
Ders
And I persevered.
Blake
Yeah. You did it. You're e. You're evil.
Adam
I'm. Dude. I'm the king, Blake. I'm the king of unearned confidence. Without a doubt. Without a doubt.
Ders
But I don't know about that.
Adam
But you also need someone in your corner to tell you. Hey. Hey, buddy.
Ders
Throwing the towel.
Adam
Hey, bud. Maybe this isn't it. Maybe the shaved mustache. Really patchy, bad, scrappy looking. Like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Right Looking motherfucker. Isn't the moo.
Ders
Shut the fuck up.
Adam
Huh?
Blake
So you guys think I look bad? You think I look bad?
Adam
Atrocious.
Ders
No, I think you look like one of the. Where the Wild Things Are Monsters.
Blake
Great book.
Ders
We'll find a comp. But tell me about the. The. The care here. So you're letting it grow underneath the chin, but you are shaving your mustache.
Blake
Yeah, yeah. I took the mustache down and.
Ders
Are you shaving anywhere else? Like, are you. Is this groomed?
Blake
This is groomed.
Ders
Beware.
Blake
Wait, no, no, no, no. Sorry.
Adam
Yeah. You don't know what that word means.
Blake
That is a new. That's a new concept. That's a new concept in my life. Groomed.
Ders
You thought it was just a green room.
Blake
My bad. Talk about the groove. The guru. No, here, you get out.
Adam
Yes. Points.
Ders
I guess it's not.
Adam
That wasn't begging for.
Blake
No. I thought by groom you meant shave my mustache. And I did do that. And you did notice that. So this is as groomed as your boy gets also.
Ders
But are you doing anything under, like, here, like, bottom lip, like your. Your flavor saver?
Blake
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. I take the stinger down. I take the stinger down.
Ders
Dinger.
Adam
Why? Why? Because that's part. When you grow a beard, you. It has to be full all the way through.
Ders
And by the way, explain yourself.
Adam
There should be a mustache attached.
Ders
Allegedly, we're letting Adam off the leash.
Blake
Yeah. I love my job, man. I don't know.
Adam
Well, by the way, because I think. I mean, I think Blake is a very handsome gentleman.
Blake
You've said that.
Adam
You've said besides his face, the rest of it. Beautiful.
Blake
Thank you. Thank you.
Ders
Hot, hot, hot, hot.
Adam
No, I think Blake is a very good looking gentleman. The. This beard isn't doing any favors.
Blake
Really. It's much like.
Adam
Much like you told me. You told me that my mustache wasn't doing me any favors because under most lights it looked like I had a Hitler mustache. Because the rest of them, the hairs came in weirdly blonde.
Blake
Yes. During the tour, you had a weird ass, wispy mustache and like bad chops. And it was bad. It was bad. It was the worst I've seen you. It's the worst you've ever looked.
Adam
Well, also. Also, I was obese during that time.
Ders
Yeah, it was a whole.
Adam
It was a whole bit. I was a life bit. I was doing your boobs are huge where I was morbidly obese and thought.
Ders
He was gonna die.
Adam
Literally thought I was dying. And from chops before, I liked it.
Blake
That even though you did look bad, that was my favorite version of you. You were very humbled. You were very like. You made us like wheelchair you everywhere and stuff. It was cool.
Adam
Dude, that is not you.
Ders
Never.
Blake
I like seeing you vulnerable. I like.
Adam
You like to see me fat and injured because then I wasn't competition to you. Okay? And Blake, it's not all about competition, buddy.
Ders
Right.
Blake
You keep stealing rolls from me. Ask Isaac. He keeps hand them off to you.
Adam
Name one.
Ders
Getting radical.
Adam
Okay, well, I mean, I just like.
Ders
Adam for it more.
Blake
Circle.
Adam
Way circle came to you first. What? No, I. I gifted you buzz balls. I was like, I don't want.
Blake
Thank you.
Ders
There you go.
Adam
Bless you. What made you decide to go down this route? I know it wasn't your girlfriend. I know she wasn't really pitching this one hard.
Blake
She.
Adam
She definitely didn't say shave the mustache, grow the beard.
Ders
She could have been a motivation in a different way. Piss him off. And I was like, oh, yeah, check this out.
Blake
Now you gotta. Now you got an ugly boyfriend.
Adam
Yeah. Tell me to not be playing my music wildly loud at 4am now you gotta do that.
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
Now you got an ugly boyfriend. Sorry.
Ders
Take me out. Show me off.
Blake
I haven't been. Also, I haven't been playing loud music since we talked about on the pod. I've been very respectful to my neighbors because I am saving it up for the Fourth of July, baby. Come on. We're going to let the good times roll.
Ders
We've covered this. But it's my favorite holiday.
Blake
We have you're. And you stand by that. It's never going to not be your favorite.
Adam
I thought Halloween was your favorite holiday.
Blake
You're a monster.
Adam
Yeah, I Thought so.
Ders
No, I'm almost positive I said July 4th, because that's how I feel right now. It's just a good time.
Adam
Yeah.
Ders
I love.
Adam
I love barbecue. I love the fourth of July.
Ders
It's hot as. So you could just drink so many beers.
Adam
So many beers. It's allowed.
Ders
It's too.
Adam
It's. It's. You're not even drunk. It's. It's.
Ders
You don't even know where your kids are.
Adam
It doesn't matter. It's the 4th of July. Go burn some. Don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Ders
Of course it's true.
Blake
Of course.
Ders
Yeah. Kids are probably fine. You're hearing fireworks, you assume everyone's okay.
Blake
I love it.
Ders
You got big plans for the fourth blaze?
Blake
I do. Well, you know, my block is pretty. Pretty cool. So they do like. I think I've. I think we've covered this, but they do a little. Like, people make pies, and you try them and say, who made the best pie?
Ders
And this does sound like a little.
Blake
Little parade. And just, you know.
Ders
Just a parade on your block.
Blake
Yeah, just chumming around.
Adam
So it's a full block party. They lock down the street? Is that how it goes?
Blake
Full block party? It's beautiful.
Ders
The horses. What are not literal horses. What do they call those? Saw horses? To block off cars from coming in now, I think.
Blake
Yeah. Well, I hope they're up today or on the holiday, because it could. Yeah, we need somebody to block off these streets. I'm not sure the protocol with the saw horses.
Adam
Blake, that's what a block party is when you literally block off the streets. It's a block party.
Ders
Saw horses.
Blake
Well, you could just, like, park cars in the middle.
Adam
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ders
You gotta have a saw.
Adam
I. I guarantee you police will show up and it'll be a thing, and then it's gonna be a lot of ICE agents, and they might steal a neighbor or two.
Ders
Oh.
Adam
That guy's beard. I don't want. I don't want that for your neighborhood. I'm just saying I don't want that for your neighborhood. So maybe do things by the book.
Blake
Okay.
Adam
Maybe you should make a call. I know you're not the guy, but maybe call the guy who is the guy who's in charge.
Blake
Yeah, I'm hoping. I'm hoping that will all be sewed up.
Adam
How full is that guy's beard? That's all I'm saying. How full and connected is that?
Blake
Probably more connected than mine, but I don't know. I Don't know. I feel good about it.
Adam
Okay, well, it's. That's the most important.
Ders
I do like. I do like that the beard is an indicator. Like, you look like someone who would say, yeah, you guys could. You could just park some cars.
Adam
It is.
Ders
And they go, I don't know. Judging by your beard, I just don't. What do you think, Mr. Good Beard.
Adam
Judging by the lack of the beard that you've grown, makes me not trust you.
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
You know, and for everybody who's now tuning in on YouTube, you're gonna see this. It's really not an offensive beard. It's actually.
Adam
Well, move the microphone out of the way and actually.
Blake
Let's see it.
Adam
Let's see it. Let's see it.
Ders
I think it works for you.
Blake
Oh, buddy.
Adam
Oh. Oh, buddy.
Ders
I think it does exactly what you wanted it to do.
Blake
What's that? Yeah, frame. Frame my face. Define my jawline.
Adam
No, no, no, your jaw.
Ders
You have the largest jawline.
Adam
Largest jaw. You got a crow magnum jawline you don't need.
Ders
We all wish we had it, dude. You want to Hiding it?
Adam
You're hiding the jawline. It's covered. Is that what you're trying to do is you're trying to actually dull the jawline?
Blake
Maybe at this point, I don't know. There's not a lot of thought that goes into it.
Ders
The hair's looking good, though. The hair looks. It looks like a good color. Like, is that summertime kicking in or what's falling down?
Adam
He's sitting by the pool also.
Blake
Yeah. Thank you for noticing. I kind of did, like, a middle part. I don't do that a lot.
Ders
Right.
Blake
Testing.
Ders
That's the where the Wild Things Are.
Blake
Thank you. Thank you. I was kind of going like 80s Metallica.
Adam
Some old school. This is some old school Blake is what this is.
Blake
I'm. I'm kind of in my, like, My. My rocker era for this summer. I think so.
Ders
And what rocker would that be?
Blake
I'm going like Cliff Burton. That's what I'm going for. At all times.
Ders
Rip.
Blake
Yes.
Adam
Always.
Blake
Always.
Ders
And now do we see the where the Wild Things Are monster? That looks like Blake? It's crazy.
Blake
I mean, I know exactly who you're talking about.
Ders
It's got the beard and the hair.
Blake
Parted down the middle, two horns. Oh, no. I know.
Adam
No, no, no. Well, it's. It's literally brought up in the chat, and you could look at it.
Blake
Oh, sorry. I didn't have my chat on, and it's.
Adam
He has no horns, but it has a middle part.
Ders
And the underbeard.
Adam
And an underbeard friendship. Actually, that beard is much fuller, by the way.
Ders
But he's working on it.
Blake
Durs. This is a great cult. He has bird legs. This looks exactly. Kind of like me. You're right. This is what I'm going for. Great.
Ders
I'm a visual learner.
Blake
When's the last time you read this book?
Ders
I mean, within the last year now.
Blake
I love the illustrations. I don't remember as a kid really tapping in with the story.
Ders
Me neither. Me neither.
Blake
Right. Like the fact that a movie came out. I was like, yes, because visually I want to see it come to life. But then I was like, wait, what is the book?
Adam
Michelle Gondry. That's a fame. That's a fancy. That's who I would do.
Blake
There's your guy.
Adam
Yeah.
Blake
What's he got to. I don't know.
Adam
That's who I would do it with. Michel Gondry. Me as a black trans person with down syndrome.
Blake
Wait, now you're black?
Ders
A black trans Am.
Adam
I was. I was black the whole time. I was a black. Oh, you were trans person with down syndrome.
Blake
Okay. All right.
Adam
Michelle Gondry, hit me up.
Blake
Okay. That will be an interesting film. I feel like you could just plug all those prompts into like an AI and it will just make that movie and it is going to be really good.
Ders
That'd be a banger.
Blake
It's gonna be awesome.
Ders
Real banger.
Blake
Dang. You lucky duck.
Adam
It's gonna take our jobs.

That'S a thumbs down from Ders.
Ders
Yeah. I was hoping to get a thumbs down through the zoom, but I guess at all.
Blake
I don't think people liked it. I don't think it was critically acclaimed. It looked dope. I think it's Spike Jones who usually knocks it out the park. He's a very visual director. Everything he does is pretty cool.
Ders
I thought it was going to be a wham, bam.
Adam
I thought it was. I thought it was Michelle Gondry.
Blake
I thought it was Spike Jones.
Ders
It's Spike.
Blake
Am I tripping?
Adam
Oh, is it?

Adam

Thank you.
Ders
And dude, Adam, I'm sorry to tell you if Michelle Gondry, when he hears this here's a. You got it wrong. He's not doing your movie.
Blake
You're off.
Ders
That's. That's why he's not going to do your movie.
Adam
And now Spike Jones isn't going to do it either. So I'm kind of. I really backed myself into a corner.
Ders
We can figure it out. Yeah, maybe. Blake goes and he goes, hey, look, I'm the guy from your movie.
Blake
I can be the guy. Wasn't the voice of the main dude, James Gandolfini? Am I tripping?
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
That's fucking cool.
Ders
Yeah. And. And again, I was like, like cool on paper. And then you see the movie and you're like, huh, he sounds like he's from New York.
Adam
Yeah. What was he doing? Like his Tony Soprano?
Ders
Yeah, he said so, but it was still like a little bit. Hey, I'm a buff ongoolie you're talking to my guy.
Blake
All right.
Ders
Are you a monster? No, I'm a buffongoli.
Blake
Get at it. I like that. That would have been a really cool movie if. Where the Wild Things Are.
Ders
Get back on your boat and sail across the ocean back to your mom and apologize. That's your mother.
Blake
The out of here.
Ders
I think my mom's trying to kill me. I'm gonna kill through it. Okay.
Blake
You don't get the out of here. You bought fun.
Ders
What is the. I don't even want to say it.
Adam
The whole book was trying to get them not to read the book.
Ders
Yeah, I love it.
Adam
Get the out of here. Go talk to your mother. Dad, are you screaming to me? I can't read yet?
Ders
I will say I've watched it since having kids, and I guess it hits a little harder as a parent where you understand it, but it becomes a total snooze when you get on that island.
Blake
Huh. Well, perfect.
Ders
Which is crazy.
Adam
I don't remember the book, and I did not see the movie, so I'm really lost.
Ders
I remember thinking the art for the book was off the Richter scale.
Blake
Yes.
Ders
I also remember that, but then never read the words. What else is new?
Blake
But the visuals of the book were so cool that arresting. You were kind of. You were making up the story in your mind as a child, but the story on the page didn't match how cool the story in your mind you were making up was. You know what I mean? This is.
Ders
Yes.
Adam
Yeah, I do follow.
Blake
Do you track?
Adam
Yeah, yeah, I'm tracking.
Ders
No, Blake knows two words.
Blake
You see a lot of. You see a lot of stuff in the background where you're like, wow, I'd love to explore that and all that. It just. It takes you on a journey visually, and then the words just don't match. Are you. You want me to stop talking? Yeah, you're a stupid dumbass.
Ders
Did you guys ever read any more the Maurice Sendak books that were, like, little, tiny ones and they, like, all slid into a box together?
Blake
The hell I don't think.
Adam
My. My mom didn't buy me books.
Ders
She's like, read this Snickers wrapper, and.
Adam
And I. You think I'm joking, but.
Ders
Joke on, Laughing Lemonheads box.
Adam
But she didn't. I. I don't remember having books. I don't remember them reading to me. I truly don't. She. I do not remember it.
Ders
Oh, righty.
Adam
And, in fact, when I would ask for books, I was told what she literally told me. Well, what are you gonna do with them?
Ders
Spell book?
Adam
And I go, well, read that. I would read them. And she goes, you would. You wouldn't. And then they would sit there. And then later I found out my parents were fairly poor. But.
Ders
Yeah, there's no such thing as a library.
Blake
Yeah, that is. That's literally what libraries are for.
Adam
I know. We would go to the library. I don't remember taking any books until I got a little older. I remember, like, when I was young, like, really young. I don't remember taking. We didn't have the where the Wild Things Are. I just remember getting into the Bear Steenberry books. That was my big shit.
Blake
Read some books. Those are good.
Ders
You never went to the library?
Blake
It's so fun. They all smell different. It's like, interesting.
Adam
No, we would. We would go to the library, but then it was always just like some old lady reading to you, and you're like, this is kind of boring, dude.
Ders
But you wouldn't get books to go.
Adam
I don't remember.
Blake
Check a book out. I think.
Adam
I think then maybe my mom didn't.
Blake
Have a library card.
Adam
Then I'm going to have to come back here and drop these books off.
Blake
Do not come.
Ders
Yeah, but then you get more books. I just. I. I feel like going to the library way back in the day, super young, was like your. It was like your first way of expressing yourself by being like, I'm getting this book. I'm going to get this one on paper airplanes. I'm getting this book about polar bears. Like.
Adam
Yeah. I don't remember doing.
Blake
I don't know.
Ders
It was like the. Your first kind of like, what? Like cultivating your, like, Steve's personality. Yeah.
Blake
Oh, dude. Yeah. You're kind of. You're. You kind of just unlock something.
Adam
I do remember I got really into cheetahs. That was my cheetahs.
Ders
Cheetahs.
Blake
There you go.
Adam
I wanted to know all about cheetahs.
Blake
Hell, yeah.
Adam
By the way, not a lot to know. They run very super fast. That's kind of the most.
Blake
Yeah, they're hella fast.
Ders
That covers how fast. Do you even remember how fast? Because I know exactly.
Blake
You got it.
Adam
60 miles. 60 miles an hour.
Ders
Oh, that was 72.
Blake
I've heard 80. 80 I've heard on some forum.
Ders
I thought it was 72, Todd.
Blake
Oh, I thought it was 60, I think, 60s, right?
Ders
Todd, can you look up. Can you look up that cheetahs can only run 17 miles per hour?
Blake
I think. I think we came from an era where they were gassing cheetahs up. But they have 50 to 80 to 80.
Ders
Okay.
Blake
All right, so a fast ass cheetah.
Ders
But, Todd, can I tell you something? Not helpful.
Blake
Not helpful, brother.
Adam
Doesn't help. Dur's point of view.
Blake
Yeah, yeah.
Adam
And then mostly getting the National Geographic to see the titties, you know, and.
Blake
Allegedly. Yeah.
Adam
And that.
Blake
No.
Adam
You know, I have a similar thing.
Blake
I remember finding a zone in the library where it was. It was this book called ElfQuest. It's like a. It's like an old comic, but. Dude. But I remember you flip a few quests, all right? And there were. There was some, like, illustrated nudity. It got pretty horny.
Ders
They know what they're doing.
Blake
Oh, I remember being in the library, sitting in the little. The little lane or whatever, looking through ElfQuest. Getting so horny as a kid, dude. So horny.
Adam
Wow.
Blake
Like, it was everything I wanted. It was like fantasy elves. And then it's just me in a quiet place getting a freaking rock, checking all the box.
Adam
Wait, how old were you?
Blake
16. 16?
Adam
You were 16 years old reading ElfQuest?
Blake
No, no, no, it was. I must have been like 11. Yeah, 11. I would say that's when. That's when it was. Really?
Adam
Yeah. I don't remember being. I mean, no, no. I guess I was horny even then, but.
Blake
Yeah.
Adam
Yeah.
Ders
Come on.
Adam
Yeah, you're right. Yeah, Absolutely. Yeah. I think maybe I'm just in a negative mood right now and I'm sorry, guys.
Ders
Yeah, it's okay. Go for it. We can handle it. Dude, we're here for you.
Blake
You know what? Yeah. I love my job.
Adam
Yeah. Maybe I'm just being negative. Yeah. And by the way, Blake, your. Your beard looks fine.
Ders
Yeah. You think cheetahs can only run 60 miles an hour? Dude, come on. Give Cheetahs a break. Big.
Adam
Yeah, Maybe they run 80, I don't know. Oh, they run 100. What do I care?
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
I also remember going, like, pretty psycho on, like, Australia. I loved Australia. I'd read all the Australia books. That was kind of. Those are when you just had a thirst for knowledge. Now I don't give a. Anymore.
Adam
Now you guys have kids that are library ages. Like, my child is too young to go to the library now. When you go there, is it just homeless people jacking off or.
Ders
Yeah, they've got this fantasy section.
Blake
Yeah, it's ElfQuest. There's a line out the door for ElfQuest.
Ders
Excuse me, where's your ElfQuest section? Sir, can you please leave?
Blake
It's just a bunch of mutants next to the. The ElfQuest section. Just going hard.
Ders
I've only kicked it in the children's section of our local library, so I haven't seen. I haven't ventured towards ElfQuest or any other allegedly. But it's popping. It's popping. Librarians are still doing it.
Blake
Yeah, the library is still very sick, so.
Adam
But real talk is there, because I remember when I first came to LA and I had to print something out, and I was like, maybe I'll go to the library.
Blake
Sure, of course.
Adam
And, yeah, it probably was MapQuest. And I'm like, I'll go to the library, print something out, get a library card. And then I. Blake probably remembers this. I just got a giant book about jfk and I just learned all about the Kennedies.
Blake
It's such a flex.
Ders
How fast does he run?
Adam
He was 12 miles.
Blake
F is a cheetah.
Ders
Okay. That's what I. That's what I also read. Yeah.
Adam
Very shagadelic. Yeah. And. And just looking around, I was like, there's a lot of unhoused. Sorry, Blake. Unhoused men.
Blake
Sensitive.
Adam
It's seeming like they're there to look at porno. Like a lot of.
Ders
On the computers.
Adam
On the computers, kind of looking around.
Ders
Yeah, this is. This is 2002. Three, right?
Adam
Yeah, this is. Yeah, this is 2002. Three.
Blake
Yeah, they're like, no, no, no, no, I'm not. Hold on. Just let me click off of this. Huh? Oh, my bad.
Adam
Oops.
Ders
The Internet was full of possibilities. And even. Even the unhoused want to get in on that.
Adam
I don't even think they had blockers yet. They were like. It was just wide open spaces.
Ders
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They thought, who would do that? And then they found out out.
Adam
Has it changed now? Because that's what. That's what the library was in LA at that time.
Ders
I promise you, it's changed.
Blake
Well, sometimes it. I. There's. There's still homies there kicking it out. No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on. The. The what. What would we call it? The blockers or what?
Ders
Yeah, that's the blockers.
Blake
That's. There's a better term, but. Yeah, they're the. The Internet shields. There's a better term.
Ders
Firewalls.
Blake
The firewalls.
Adam
Whatever. Whatever the term is, but, yes, we know what you're trying to say.
Ders
I don't know. What do you need? What do you need? Yeah.
Blake
Yes, there's. Those are very complex and honed in. I don't think people are really pulling unless they're looking at breastfeeding. Videos.
Adam
Or, dude, you could just go to chat GPT.com and then. Or can you look up naked women on Chat GPT?
Ders
No, it doesn't really do it.
Adam
Hot, hot, hot, hot. I knew I was gonna ask Anders, and he would know. Your boobs are huge.
Ders
Well, I just put together a pitch, and I need. And I was doing it over zoom, so I wanted to add a bunch of, like, slides to help illustrate the pitch. And, like, the. The guardrails are insane, where you're like, hey, I need there to be, like, blood. And they're like, I had one where it was, like, a white male character who starts dating a biracial ex girlfriend of somebody. So I was like, this guy with his arm around the biracial girl. He looks like he's, like, annoying and a jerk, and she looks uneasy. And it was like, can't do that because it's a woman. Da, da, da. And it was, like, also racially insensitive. So I typed back to it. I go, I think you're racially insensitive for even bringing it up. I'm just describing the picture I want for these characters. And it was like, very sorry again. These are delicate issues.
Blake
And I'm like, I can't wait till Ders be just as an old man, just getting in arguments with Chat GPT all day.
Adam
That's exactly what's gonna happen all day.
Blake
It's like, you're wrong.
Ders
But wearing some screen, like, just show me black titties.
Adam
And his Chat GPT, like, knows who.
Blake
He is, so it's like, oh, God, here he comes.
Adam
Here we go. Oh, you again.
Ders
Hi, Chad, Are you there? Hey.
Blake
Yeah.
Ders
Loading. Loading.
Adam
Well, there has to be a. Some sort of. I don't know, anything besides Chat GPT. It's the only one that I know. There has to be other platforms that you can make pornos, because porno rules everything around us. Around.
Ders
Pream.
Blake
Okay. Yes.
Adam
Points.
Blake
Those are for you, Adam.
Adam
Thank you.
Ders
Pretty. I think I shot a booger out of my nose onto my microphone.
Blake
Yeah, we're just pretty.
Ders
I just preamed on my mic supreme, baby.
Adam
You cream that Pream.
Blake
Yeah.
Ders
Yeah.
Adam
So there has to be, right? Because obviously porno rules everything around me.
Blake
Yeah, yeah, No, I think it's. I think.
Ders
And for some reason, Todd hasn't just filled our chat with Hentai.
Adam
Yeah, it's weird.
Blake
Yeah. That's interesting. No, I think it's. It's a. It's in the early stages, but there.
Ders
Has to be elfquest, hentai, AI.com.
Blake
It'S advancing quickly. It's advancing.
Adam
I saw. I saw some, like. It was a comedy. It was a comedy video. But he was saying how much money he's making on only fans. And it's him, like, dancing, being sexy, acting like he's wiping hair out of his face. And then it goes split screen, and then it's just like, a hot chick, like, buxom hot chick who's doing the exact same thing and doing the exact dance and movements that he is. And I'm like, oh, I bet that is the future. That is absolutely the future.
Ders
Oh, sorry.
Adam
Of, like, guys pretending to be these only fans, models, and actually tricking horny old dudes.
Blake
I mean, right?
Ders
Or horny young dudes or.
Adam
Yeah, horny anything. Okay, well, here it is. We found it, Todd. Thanks for being quick on it. Pornify. Free AI porn generator. Pornify.

Adam
It's a beautiful woman with a giant.
Ders
Why is it always trans?
Blake
That's right.
Ders
Why does a. Why does AI or like, the. The cgi.
Blake
It's the best of both worlds.
Ders
One moment and I'll let you have the floor.
Adam
Yep. Yeah, we know Blake's answer. We know Blake's answer.
Ders
I just want to know if a lot of porn is not trans, why is almost all the CGI porn trans.
Adam
I think they want to do something kind of to grab the audience's attention and be like, holy moly. And shock. Shock and awe.
Ders
Right? But then you're. But. But you're not getting my time. You're not getting my cutie.
Blake
Right? Well, some people are gonna sit with it.
Ders
Oh, I go, wait a second, is that what I think it is? And then I go, yeah, that's what I thought it was.
Blake
Oh, my God.
Ders
And then I go, and I have to go watch real people.
Adam
Now here's. Now here's a. An easy one. There's no video, but it's free. Okay. It's no wallet, no worries. Social Security, dip your toes into our AI porn generator and chat a little.
Blake
And you're going to generate something.
Adam
Just chat a little.
Blake
Are you going to generate chat a little?
Adam
Free forever.
Ders
And Blake, it's the best of both worlds. Did you want to speak more to. Do you want to speak more to that?
Blake
I mean, I. I feel like that says everything because, you know what world? The. You know, the big ass titties and then a big old swinging dick.
Ders
Dude, those are the. So those are the worlds. The worlds are titties and dicks.
Blake
Yeah.
Ders
There's no. There's no in this. That seems kind of anti female. And I don't know if you'd heard, but the future is female.
Blake
Well, you know what? Also, maybe look around. Maybe there's. There's one somewhere around there. Who knows?
Ders
Yeah, they do. They do sometimes replace the testicles with a vagina.
Blake
Wow. Wow, man. This is important.
Ders
Again. I'm like, like, look, you got my attention.
Blake
That shit's important.
Ders
I click and I go, is that what I thought it was? And it was. But then I'm gone.
Blake
I never work a day in my life.
Adam
It's good to know that I had the question and it was so easily answered.
Blake
Immediately.
Adam
Immediately. Yeah, by our boy Todd.
Blake
He just.
Ders
Who already had the tab open.
Adam
Yeah.
Blake
Yeah. It's like we got through all the. All the. Are you 18 or not?
Adam
I was like, it has to. It has to exist. Just click, click. It's right there. I knew at a moment's notice. Horn balls are undefeated. They will not stop in their quest of horniness.
Ders
It goes without saying.
Blake
Yeah. Do you ever see a future where the world is not horny anymore?
Adam
I feel like Gen Z is marching towards that. Yeah. I think they want. They want that life for themselves.
Blake
Dang.
Ders
And as I picture them marching. Pretty hot.
Blake
Yeah.
Ders
It's turning me on.
Adam
Oh, my.
Blake
Okay.
Ders
Yeah. What is going on with them? There's. But they. But here's the deal. It's just that they're not. Not right. They're still horny. They're just not.
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's right.
Ders
Right. And Blake. Blake. Are you talking about when we're not horny or when we're not.
Blake
I'm kind of talking about like we. We. We. Yeah. We don't leave the house to. Anymore.
Ders
So the best of both worlds.
Blake
We're here. Yeah.
Adam
I think that's marriage.
Blake
Doritos.
Adam
That's marriage. I think we're living that.
Ders
Yeah.
Blake
Ah.
Ders
Poor back.
Adam
That is currently what's happened with the younger generation. They're not going out out to. They're. They're going to mixers. They're going to run clubs.
Ders
And what is that? You mean like running clubs where you go together?
Adam
They go running together. Those are sick new popular things.
Blake
I'm hyped on those.
Ders
But didn't people you used to go running together to end up right afterwards? You're like, she's pretty fast.
Adam
I think running together is a fairly new. Maybe within the last decade or 15 year. No thing. Yeah. No, not. Not in the way run clubs are. Are so popular nowadays.
Blake
Sure.
Ders
I don't disagree.
Blake
But that's correct.
Ders
But running clubs have been around for quite a while.
Blake
Not like now.
Ders
Like Nike. Nike used to have a running club in like 2005 that would leave from the Grove store.
Adam
Yeah.
Blake
That's still pretty early in terms of running. Running's been around since the dawn of man.
Ders
Like, it's still pretty early. Is it early or is it late? What are we. What are we talking?
Blake
I. Maybe I.
Ders
Anyway. Run clubs. Run clubs. People are doing run clubs instead of.
Adam
They're just running. They're just being. They're trying to get as sexy as possible for Instagram likes into their Tik Tok page and to sell their protein bars instead of.
Ryan
Wow.
Blake
Dude.
Adam
And that's the difference between us. You could start at the. The AI Penis.
Ders
Right.
Blake
And I will.
Ders
I think. Would you do a running train club?
Adam
A what? Running train club.
Ders
Is that. Yes.
Adam
Punch Blake.
Ders
Is that the best of both worlds?
Blake
Preem. Pream. Absolutely.
Adam
I don't think I would. Yeah. That doesn't excite me.
Ders
Yeah. You'd get exhausted. You'd get killed by all those guys.
Adam
Oh, yeah.
Ders
I guess they're just not going out. People are saying that bars and nightclubs are closing.
Blake
I have heard that. Yeah.
Ders
And like, I don't get it. I don't know what's going on.
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's so much of me that just wishes I was a little younger, where I could go to bars and nightclubs on Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays.
Ders
But who's not going? Are women not going? Or are guys not going? Or are both not going?
Adam
Well, I don't know. I feel like you got to knock on the door of Scottsdale, Arizona and see if it's affecting that place. Because I feel like that place is still going off.
Ders
That's at one end of the bell curve. Yeah, man. I feel like that is at the one end of the spectrum.
Blake
Well, I think it's, you know, and it's what everything we've been talking about, it's all kind of gathered around one idea. But like libraries, nobody's really going anymore. Clubs, nobody's really going anymore. Think about like I used to go to record stores and see people. Nobody really goes to those anymore.
Ders
And what's the idea?
Adam
They don't even exist.
Ders
Right.
Blake
All you have to do is stay home. And Jo to AI porno. You don't have to leave. Yeah.
Adam
Put on your Oculus riff.
Ders
Yeah.
Adam
And. And Jo in the metaverse.
Blake
Right.

Do you remember when people were buying land in the Metaverse for, like, real amounts of money? How they have to feel like such right now because they.
Ders
You're gonna regret saying that.
Adam
Okay, I mean, I mean, maybe, but right now.
Ders
Cut to 10 years from now.
Blake
Bell.
Adam
Yeah, right. Todd, tell us, what was the most expensive sale for land in the Metaverse?
Ders
You gotta imagine it's somebody with fuck you money. Who? It doesn't matter. They just did it to say they did it and promote probably their own company.
Blake
No, what kind of land are we talking? Are we talking about, like, they bought an island or, like, land to farm on? I don't really remember this wave.
Adam
I remember it being like the street to be on prime real estate and is 4.3 million and who and what was it and maybe get a list going. I know Nike had their store there that they bought and then they put a store there.
Ders
They probably got in for free. Whoever's creating this universe probably went to a bunch of places and was like, hey, will you create retail spaces for our population or whatever, our citizens?
Blake
This is how I know I'm gonna be, like, a really goofy old guy. And it's just like, I don't even care to even learn about this shit. This kind of shit. Bitcoin. I know it's. Maybe it's the future or whatever, but I just don't want to. I want to live in it. I'd rather just be in the Library looking at ElfQuest like, that's. That's my say less. My future is very retro. I want. I want it to never, never change in that way. I like that.
Ders
I mean, I definitely think at some point I'd rather end up in a fucking shack next to a little river than on top of a 200 story skyscraper with a robot sucking me off while I, like, watch 1010 movies with some goggles on.
Adam
69, dude. Well, the way you explained it, though.
Blake
Yeah, that kind of sold me.
Adam
Hang on. I mean, the shot by the river. I forgot to seem pleasant. But then you said that.
Blake
He said, the robot.
Adam
The robot.
Blake
It can do what now? It can do what now.
Adam
Wait a minute. This future doesn't sound half bad.
Blake
Not so bleak.
Ders
I stand by it.
Blake
Well, we do need to learn some Skills. I think we need to get busy.
Adam
Well, I feel like you were.
Blake
You were.
Adam
Blake, you like to go farming via the Internet. Like, didn't you do, like, Farmville or.
Ders
Or whatever?
Blake
Wait, what? I'm curious what you're. Are you talk. What are you talking about?
Adam
I remember back in the day, you would, like, you were like, you're playing this game, and it was like, no, it's cool. You could like, I'm working. I'm working to make money so I can, like, buy a. A. A beach house. And I'm like, well, just work in real life and buy an actual beach house. What are you doing?
Ryan
I'm living in a nightmare.
Ders
Adam. That's stupid.
Blake
You're talking about. When I was. During COVID I was deep into Animal Crossing.
Adam
Okay.
Blake
But. Okay, that is. That doesn't transfer to actual life skill.
Ders
Is that just like Frogger?
Blake
No, no, you're taking like, literally an animal crossing the road. This is just a game called Animal Crossing.
Ders
I'm sorry.
Blake
It's just the title.
Ders
Name it better. What are we talking about here?
Blake
It. It's just pretty much an rpg, but it does. I don't really gather, like, get real skill from playing that game. I'm saying we need to get our hands in the dirt. We need to plant some gardens, and.
Adam
We can do that with Pornify, CC69.
Blake
Dudes and Load Boost.
Adam
And load. Brought to you by Load Boost.
Ders
Yeah. I think you can drop huge loads, like, in your soil, and it'll help your tomatoes get huge.
Blake
I've heard that. I heard if you play music to them and if you. The soil they're planted in, they grow really, really, really big. Right?
Adam
Only Metisphere.
Ders
Yeah. It's all just Jill. Jill Scott.
Blake
If you give your tomato oral.
Adam
So some company called Republic Realm, which sound good, they. I. You know that they're the biggest alive Republic Realm. That sounds evil. It sounds evil.
Blake
Super evil.
Adam
They bought a plot of land in the Sandbox metaverse for a record 4.3 million. By the way, that is a very nice house. They don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Ders
We don't think this is like a I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine situation where, like, the people were like, hey, will you just buy $4.3 million in our metaverse or whatever.
Blake
That's how rich people work.
Ders
Yeah. The headline will be there, and then we'll buy whatever the fuck you need from us.
Blake
I. I do think that's the way, like, wealthy people, rich people work is like they see other people buying something, they say, wait, I don't even fuck with it. But if they're going to be buying it for that much money, I want in as well, just to get my dick on the table.
Adam
So the record was broke. It was 2.43 million at the time. I mean. And the land is set in the so called fashion district of Decentraland, an online virtual only environment. See, I don't even know how to get to this place.
Blake
It almost feels like a dead video. Like online games that don't exist anymore. Have you ever been on an online game that nobody plays anymore and it's just no one is there? It's just like a barren.
Adam
Oh, yeah. I tried to play old Call of Duty, the World War II version, which was the first game that got me into Call of Duty, what like two years ago now. And. And there was like nobody there, right? And it was like, kind of spooky. It's just me walking around, dude, it's.
Blake
Isn't it. It's kind of like a bit of a horror movie. Like you go to these old games in the servers that are still up and there's literally maybe there's two people there. It's like, what the are you doing on this game?
Adam
Yeah, it was just me and the same guy killing us each other over and over. And I'm like, this is kind of boring. He's like, yeah, I'm out. Oh my God.
Blake
Well, I'm gonna just stay. I'm gonna.
Ders
What's your name, dude?
Blake
That's how we're going to make friends.
Ders
What is it? It's World War II.
Adam
It was a call of duty, World War II. And then now I. I'm playing the new Call of Duty. It's very fun. Very fun. I did. That's. That's my game.
Ders
What war?
Blake
Is it a new one? I don't.
Adam
It's new. New one. Yeah.
Blake
It's just a. A war that hasn't even been started yet. You wait, shit's gonna go off.
Adam
Yeah, it's. It's us bombing Iran. Yeah.
Ders
Sounds topical.
Adam
Seems topical. They.
Blake
They made that game that's out now.
Ders
Yeah, yeah, you guys, they just drummed it up. Have you guys, you guys heard about how Ukraine took out a bunch of shit in Russia and how they did it?
Blake
Oh, oh, yeah. I watched that YouTube video. It's fucking insane. What is the name of the thing?
Ders
So sick.
Blake
It's literally just a bro.
Adam
Here, let me guess.
Blake
Okay.
Adam
They sent the Russian operatives, people that were in charge, a Link to pornify cc.
Ders
Not far off.
Adam
And then all of a sudden, they were. They were mia and no, sir, I don't like it. They walked right in and they were just joi.
Blake
Hey, pr. They got preamed. They hit him with the pre. Bomb, baby.
Ders
Close, Adam.
Blake
Very close.
Ders
They essentially, like, sent a. What do they call it? Like a pack. A shipping container. They sent a shipping container on a truck into truck.
Blake
Now we're talking regular ass truck.
Ders
Truck. Like just a guy driving a truck who's like, yeah, I got this shipping container.
Adam
I'm just a dude.
Ders
I'm just a dude. Hey.
Blake
Which way is key?
Adam
Where's key?
Ders
That's in Ukraine.
Adam
Hey, where's that damn missile silo?
Ders
So he's leaving that and he's in Russia.
Blake
Yeah. I'm trying to get back to Keeb.
Adam
I just left Kiev. I'm trying to make my way to Moscow.
Blake
Moscow is what I was looking. The.
Ders
The.
Adam
The missile silo.
Blake
Yeah. If I heard. If I turn around in Moscow, I'll get back to Keith.
Adam
They're like, sir, no, you cannot be here.
Blake
This is not.
Adam
And then he says, hey, do me a favor and click this link. And he's. And the guy's like, wait, what? Oh, oh.
Ders
Why do you have American accent? I am from here. You're from here as well.
Blake
This is.
Ders
But I'm a truck driver.
Blake
I'm from. I'm from a real. I'm just from a real mountainous part of Ukraine. Don't worry about that.
Ders
999. I'm a truck driver.
Adam
Okay.
Blake
Okay.
Ders
The truck is on route because the truck driver is just a delivery guy taking it out there. When it gets to a certain point, the top of the shipping container opens. Remote control stuff style. And a ton, like, dozens of drones with bombs on them go out as programmed, fly over to the military base that's nearby, and then just bomb all their planes.
Blake
Yep. Okay.
Ders
Let's go on some, like, Mission Impossible type shit.
Blake
It's fucking crazy.
Adam
And then they. What, they couldn't stop them because there were so many drones? Because I know they have missile defense.
Ders
No, dude, these are like. There's no missile defense for a drone that's flying like, 30ft off the ground.
Blake
Hell, a little. Yeah. Like, it's crazy.
Ders
It's literally like the road nearest the. The. The Air Force, by the way, do not quote me on that.
Blake
Yeah, no, no, it's the road right.
Ders
Near the air force base.
Adam
Sure.
Ders
Where it just opened up and then they just zoomed over there in under a minute or so and dropped bombs on all their bomber planes.
Adam
And yet I can't even get a package delivered by Amazon via drone. Like, what the fuck?
Blake
What the fuck?
Ders
And Adam, you've always got a funny, quirky way of seeing things.
Blake
Where's my. Where's my hand sanitizer? I ordered on Amazon prime, okay?
Ders
They probably delivered it to my Metaverse house, okay?
Adam
Central land.
Blake
I didn't see that video. But There is a YouTube and there's a very specific name to what, who these fighters are or whatever. But basically what it is is this dude just sitting in. Like I'm just a dude. Yeah, just like a tent outside of where the target is. And he literally is probably just the guy who's the best at Modern Warfare, the video game. He's just sitting there with a VR headset and he's flying these drones with low bombs on them. And he just like. He's so good at it. He just. It's whatever target he wants. It could be just like one person. It could be a tank, it could.
Ders
Be a dildo in your. Yeah, it could be anything. What else could it be?
Blake
It's just a dude just playing video games, dude. It's crazy. It's Modern Warfare, my friends. It's insane.
Adam
That is another episode of.
Blake
Wait, what the hell?
Ders
Wow, dude, I. I just. I was like, yo, between that and like the phone or like the pager bomb one from a few months ago, I'm like, what are we up to?
Adam
Yeah, there's some really cool happening.
Blake
Really cool.
Adam
Well, really cool. Well, you know, it's just terrible. Sad and insane, but inventive.
Ders
Can you imagine the writer's room? For these? Yeah, for these. What do they call plans?
Adam
I mean, you gotta have.
Blake
Sure.
Adam
You gotta have a sick writer's room of military guys, you know, just spitballing.
Ders
Spitballing for sure.
Adam
Uhuh. Walking around.
Ders
What if we got all these guys. Rolexes, right? But inside the Rolex aids, they get all. They all get aids. Well, they could live for a while.
Adam
D. Okay, all right. Okay, just a pitch. Just a pitch.
Blake
I'm gonna go get some string cheese, okay?
Ders
Not aids, Ebola.
Adam
And then they're like, let's real quick bring up Pornify CC on the projector here, okay? And then nothing gets done.
Blake
That's lunch.
Adam
That's lunch.
Blake
That's life.
Adam
Any take backs, any apologies? Any epic slams for today?
Blake
You know what?
Ders
You know what? I'm. I would apologize for repeating all the things we repeated, but that's kind of the theme of the Episode and theme.
Adam
That's kind of cool. The thing.
Blake
History repeats itself.
Adam
I'd like to. I'd like to give a shout out to the pornify dozens and dozens and dozens, if not hundreds of people that signed up for the cruise.
Blake
Oh, hell yeah, baby.
Adam
Since the last podcast when we talked about it, we're getting near sold out and I want people to gobble them up before they all get sold out.
Blake
We'll do it live. Yes.
Adam
Because it is. It's going to be a. A true banger. True banger of a. Of a time.
Blake
Yeah, I can't wait. I'm getting more and more excited.
Adam
I plan on. I'm going to be an alcoholic.
Blake
Yes.
Adam
On that cruise. I'm ready to go back just on that cruise. I don't care if I spasm and my eyeball falls out. A spasm hits me so hard.
Blake
Probably had too many beers.
Adam
I'm ready to fucking send it on the cruise.
Ders
Blake, what is the. Too many beers from.
Blake
What was his name? Brett Kavana or whatever. We're very. We're kind of. Yeah, I'm still gonna send it kind of. We're kind of poly charged this up.
Adam
Yeah, I guess we were accidentally poly charged.
Ders
Yeah. The cruise is going to be bonkers, man.
Blake
The cruise is going to be insane. I. Every time I think about it, I'm like, it's going to be a once in a lifetime. Just. You're never going to forget it.
Ders
Someone's jumping.
Blake
I hope not.
Ders
I guarantee you, I hope not. What's the over under? I'm putting it at two.
Blake
Okay. We're not putting it in. We're not encouraging it.
Ders
I'm putting the over under it too.
Adam
I mean, I think we don't want anyone to go over, so I'm going to say under because I think even the fall is enough to kill you.
Ders
Maybe you, maybe you. Anything happens on international waters, maybe this is the way.
Blake
You know what? And I would like to do an apology to where the Wild Things Are. Cause, you know, we kind of shit on it as a story, but it's.
Ders
What a bitch have a backbone?
Blake
No. It has stood the test of time and it's for a reason. It's because it unlocks your imagination. It doesn't matter what the story is. If the illustrations are good enough, then it's an all timer.
Ders
I don't disagree.
Adam
Okay, we didn't say it wasn't an all timer. It's just amazing.
Blake
It felt like we shit on that book for no reason and all, but.
Ders
It'S a Caldecott award winner. Say less Caldecott.
Blake
There you go. And it deserves it. And it deserves it.
Ders
Snow.
Adam
The Hatchet by Gary Paulson. But it's fine. It's fine.
Ders
Not enough pictures for me in that one.
Blake
Okay, fair enough.
Ders
You know what I'm saying? There's nobody in there that looks like Blake in my opinion.
Adam
That is true. That is true.
Blake
Thanks, guys. Man.
Adam
And Blake, I would like to take back. I kind of was. I was. I don't know why. I was in a mood early early on and was just dunking on fools.
Ders

Ders
Mushes are getting worse.
Blake
I'm so hungry.
Adam
So that's 200 calories and it's 3pm.
Ders
When mush came out, they were good and now mush is bad. What they should have done, it's these little overnight oat oatmeal things. Yeah, they're delicious, but they're not good at anymore. They used to be.
Blake
Do you ever make your own mush? Independent mush?
Adam
No, I'm not going to.
Ders
What?
Adam

Blake
It's really easy. You.
Ders

Ders
Good luck. Hey, good luck Feeling like you're in touch with mother Earth.

Podcast Summary: This Is Important
Episode: Ep 254: P.R.E.A.M. - Porn Rules Everything Around Me
Release Date: July 1, 2025
Host/Authors: Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck
Produced by: iHeartPodcasts
This Is Important brings together Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck for an in-depth and humorous exploration of topics that matter most to them. In Episode 254, titled "P.R.E.A.M. - Porn Rules Everything Around Me," the hosts delve into the pervasive influence of pornography in modern society, intertwined with their personal anecdotes and comedic banter.
The episode kicks off with the hosts sharing their current life updates, emphasizing their strong friendship and mutual support. Blake expresses his enthusiasm about the podcast, stating, “Hell yeah, dude. God, I'm so freaking excited. So excited to talk to my bros.” ([03:11]) This sets a warm and engaging tone for the episode, highlighting the camaraderie among the hosts.
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around personal grooming, specifically beards and mustaches. The conversation begins with Adam teasing Blake about his grooming choices: “You look more like a professional wrestler” ([03:53]). This leads to a playful debate about the aesthetics of facial hair, with Ders chiming in, “I think you've covered this” ([04:44]), indicating the recurring nature of this topic among the hosts.
Blake defends his grooming style, aligning his look with iconic figures such as UFC fighters, while Adam humorously critiques the uniformity he perceives in these styles: “Those guys all look like they've been punched in the face 1,000 times” ([04:32]). The exchange highlights their differing viewpoints on personal style and perception.
Shifting the conversation, Adam shares his aspirations in acting, contemplating a role that challenges societal norms: “If I could pull that off… I got the gold” ([06:09]). Although humorous and exaggerated, this reflects Adam's creative ambitions and the group's playful exploration of hypothetical scenarios. The discussion touches upon notable directors like the Russo brothers and Michel Gondry, showcasing their interest in the film industry.
The hosts reminisce about their childhood, particularly their experiences with libraries and reading habits. Adam admits, “I don't remember having books. I don't remember them reading to me” ([28:44]), revealing a lack of early literary engagement. Blake shares his own enthusiastic encounters with ElfQuest, a comic series that sparked his imagination and curiosity: “I was like, me in a quiet place getting a freaking rock” ([31:20]).
Ders adds to the nostalgia by discussing the limited access to books and the impact of their upbringing on their love for certain genres. This segment underscores the importance of early reading experiences in shaping their personalities and interests.
A recurring theme in the episode is the shift towards isolation facilitated by technology. The hosts discuss how modern conveniences and digital interactions have reduced face-to-face socializing. Adam laments, “It's all just Jill. Jill Scott” ([54:57]), referring to the disconnection felt in contemporary social structures. Blake contrasts this by advocating for a return to more tangible, earth-connected activities: “We need to get our hands in the dirt. We need to plant some gardens” ([54:30]).
The conversation extends to the impact of AI and virtual environments on daily life, highlighting concerns about losing genuine human connections in favor of digital interactions.
True to the episode's title, the discussion shifts to the role of pornography in society and its intersection with AI technology. The hosts humorously critique AI-generated porn, emphasizing its accessibility and the ease with which individuals can engage with it: “Dude, you could just go to Chat GPT.com and then. Or can you look up naked women on Chat GPT?” ([37:00]).
Ders shares his frustrations with content moderation, recounting his experience with AI's restrictive guidelines: “I was just trying to add a bunch of, like, slides to help illustrate the pitch… and it was like, very sorry again” ([36:48]). This highlights the tension between creative freedom and ethical considerations in AI applications.
Blake introduces "Pornify," an AI porn generator, and the group engages in a comedic yet critical exploration of its implications: “ Pornify. Free AI porn generator” ([39:08]). They debate the authenticity and ethical aspects of AI-produced adult content, questioning its impact on human relationships and societal norms.
Looking ahead, the hosts speculate on future societal trends influenced by burgeoning technologies and shifting generational values. Adam optimistically views the Gen Z movement towards diminished horniness: “I feel like Gen Z is marching towards that” ([43:12]). However, Ders counters by suggesting that the sexual drive remains but is expressed differently: “They're still horny. They're just not” ([43:18]).
The conversation extends to the future of social interactions, marriage, and the integration of AI into personal lives. Blake humorously defines modern relationships as a blend of disconnection and digital dependence: “That's marriage. I think we're living that” ([43:43]).
As the episode wraps up, the hosts reflect on their earlier critiques, specifically their take on the beloved children's book Where the Wild Things Are. They acknowledge the importance of imagination and storytelling, offering a heartfelt apology: “It has stood the test of time and it's for a reason. It's because it unlocks your imagination” ([65:30]).
Adam further lightens the mood by addressing a humorous recurring joke about their earlier negative remarks: “That's kind of the theme of the Episode and theme” ([63:08]). This self-awareness and willingness to laugh at themselves reinforce the show's friendly and candid atmosphere.
Episode 254 of This Is Important masterfully blends humor, personal anecdotes, and thoughtful discourse to examine the pervasive influence of pornography and AI in contemporary society. Through engaging dialogues and memorable quotes, Adam, Blake, and Ders offer listeners a blend of laughter and reflection, making the complex interplay between technology and human behavior both entertaining and insightful.
