Welcome to this Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on this Is Important, it's the.

[Adam]

Home of the testicle festival.

[Blake]

My eyes kick fucking ass and I'm really bummed on it.

[Ders]

The bread looks like a. Like a dirty dick, but. But then it tasted like a clean one. Let's go.

[Adam]

What's up, gangster gang stars? Gang stars. We did David Chang Dinner time live the other day.

[Ders]

Getting right to it.

[Adam]

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy in my tummy, tummy I in my pants though.

[Blake]

You did? You do?

[Adam]

Yeah. Last night when I got home, I think it was the egg. I also had a. A long drive ahead of me. It took me like two hours to get home.

[Ders]

Ruminating.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

So you really. It was really roasting.

[Blake]

Well, you don't realize it, but when you do dinner time live, those entrees start coming out real quick like.

[Adam]

And by the way, they're not small portions. You know how they. When you go to a fancy restaurant and it's like a 10 course and.

[Ders]

Yeah, it must be nice.

[Adam]

I actually don't like them.

[Ders]

What do you mean? Courses?

[Adam]

Yeah, because it's. They come out and they're small little bits and the first few you're like, well, this isn't Bad.

[Ders]

Yeah, it's not. This isn't enough. This is tiny.

[Adam]

This is. Yeah, this is tiny. And by the time you get to the seventh one, you're like, stop bringing me food. Stop it.

[Blake]

Enough is enough.

[Adam]

This is. Out the gate. They gave us a full gigantic cheeseburger.

[Ders]

Hoagie style stretched burger, and it was the best.

[Adam]

I'm like, craving it again.

[Ders]

It was really good.

[Adam]

The spice was so nice.

[Blake]

I wish we could go back and.

[Ders]

Wait. What do you wish, Blake? Blake has a take.

[Blake]

I wish we could go back and get the burger again. I want to eat it again. I want to reverse the order.

[Adam]

That's what I said. And I did want to offend him in the moment, so I'm going to offend him now. David Chang, I'm talking to you right up, bud. Do us a favor. The soup should have came out first. That's a appertee. That's a first type of. That's like. You're at it. You're eating a smart guy. Like a miso soup at a Japanese restaurant.

[Ders]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Blake]

Filled with meat.

[Adam]

Filled with meat. I had one little. I didn't ask for one little rib filled with meat.

[Blake]

Thanks.

[Adam]

There's a few. There was.

[Blake]

I had a ton.

[Adam]

There was some.

[Blake]

I had a ton.

[Adam]

Okay, well, he liked you the best. You guys knew each other from before, so you got the most meat. And Lottie, Dottie, you likes to potty. But I got zero. Me. He had to give me a steaming hot meat. But I. Regardless, I think. I think. All right. I think we should have started with. With the soup.

[Ders]

Sure.

[Adam]

Then. Then we go to. What was the. The last dish?

[Blake]

The biscuits and gravy whiskers.

[Adam]

Fantastic.

[Blake]

And those were. I ate the rest that night. It was delicious.

[Adam]

That was. That's a breakfast banger. So I feel like that would go next and then you end with the burger.

[Blake]

Okay, that's.

[Adam]

That's what I would have done.

[Ders]

Okay, here's what you're skipping. That might have been my favorite. And it's kind of sad. The fucking pancakes were out of control.

[Adam]

Well.

[Blake]

Well, yeah, those came out of nowhere.

[Ders]

I was like, who made pancakes? And then I just took one and I was like, well, I'm kind of focused on this now. And then they were like, it's over. And I was like, let me just.

[Adam]

Yeah, the pancakes were pretty legit.

[Blake]

Even before the show started, though, there was the whole. The app. What'd you call it? Apart apperti. What'd you call it?

[Adam]

I said, apertee. I think it's a word I made up.

[Blake]

Okay. I like that. The aperteezi was that big ass ham shank. Just slices of ham just to kind of get your tongue.

[Adam]

Tongue red.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah. Salty.

[Blake]

I was.

[Ders]

And I learned. Cured.

[Blake]

Cured. Yes. I was kind of hoping, Adam, that you would just grab that shank and.

[Adam]

Sink your teeth into it and start gnawing.

[Blake]

Just take a million dollar bite. Fuck it.

[Adam]

Yeah, I, you know, I did you. He's your close personal friend. I didn't want to offend him.

[Ders]

Right. He spoke at your wedding.

[Blake]

Yeah, of course.

[Adam]

Because that could be like a $1000 ham shank for all I know.

[Blake]

I bet it was pretty pricey.

[Ders]

Hungry.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Is that how it works?

[Blake]

Ham. Ham gets expensive, guys. Ham can get expensive.

[Adam]

Dude, I just bought. I. What's f. What's so funny about this is. I just bought.

[Ders]

I love to laugh. Go ahead.

[Adam]

I don't buy ham ever. I don't buy, like, that sliced ham ever.

[Ders]

This is so off brand. Go ahead.

[Blake]

This is shocking right now.

[Ders]

I feel like you would know everyone at Honey Baked, like, on a first name basis, but I. I went to.

[Adam]

There's this. There's this place called the Butchery in. In Costa Mesa in Orange County. And I drive past there all the. All the time. And I swung in the other day. The. The guys working there were all very nice. They're like, I'm going to give you some ham. They looked at me, they knew I was a hamboy. And they. They. They're like, human. Can I slice you some? And I'm like, okay. And it was so good. It was just like that. It was like, so good job on. And they sliced me some. And then they. They're like, hey, you want to buy some? I'm like, absolutely. So I got a little plate that was just like that. It was like $30 for that little.

[Ders]

Little plate of like. For like a charcuterie board or for like, making sandwiches deli style?

[Adam]

No, charcuterie board. It was like. It was. It was cut exactly like that and a. And a very similar amount. So that makes me feel. That is well over $1,000 ham.

[Ders]

That's how they get you, by the way. They're like, up here comes pitch perfect.

[Blake]

Well, there's. Have you heard of that? There's that ham. It's from, like, Spain. I think it's called, like, Iberico. Iberico or whatever.

[Ders]

Oh, the Spanish ham. Yes, of course, the Spanish ham.

[Adam]

I was saying the Japanese. The Japanese. The Spanish version. The other Day. Was it Jabon? What was I saying?

[Ders]

You said hamon, I believe French. French is jambone.

[Blake]

You said jam.

[Adam]

Jambone, yeah, jambone.

[Blake]

Yeah, the hamon. But it's. Yeah, it's a specific kind called like Iberico or. Iberico or something. And it's a very expensive ham shank that I think you.

[Adam]

I think I still got the ham. Should I go get the ham? I'll eat some ham. I mean, I'll be right back. I'll bring. I'm getting the ham, boys.

[Blake]

Sure.

[Ders]

Yeah, that's. That's good for.

[Blake]

Okay, he's bringing some ham. He's gone on a. Yeah, he has a problem is what it is. Once you mention him. He has to get. He's like playing this whole thing like, like, oh, I. I go to the butcher and sometimes I get.

[Ders]

It was. Here's what I. I was like, oh, this is a nice little salt vehicle.

[Blake]

Right, right, right, right.

[Ders]

Like, it.

[Adam]

It.

[Ders]

It could have just been anything with a saltiness to it. Like, it could have been a wet nap soaked in salt. And I'd go, remember that wet nap, though. How about that? Wet nap?

[Blake]

Okay, but are you a. Are you a ham boy? Like, Like, Adam, are you like.

[Ders]

I'm not a ham guy, actually.

[Adam]

You're not devastated.

[Blake]

I. I love a good.

[Ders]

I love a good.

[Adam]

I love ham. I love. I mean, my mom. It was. It was my title card for Dennis and Penny Son. My. When I did House Party, my title card at the end, you know how we had nice. That shit's important for workaholics, for mail order comedy. My title card at the end was my mom going, you want a ham sandwich?

[Blake]

Yeah, it's her love language.

[Adam]

And because my mom, that's. It's all.

[Ders]

So this just takes you back to the womb. This is a psychological humdinger.

[Adam]

Oh, really? Well, by the way, we. We would have that, like, really, really, really not good ham that I. Now I kind of crave that budding. Do you remember budding?

[Blake]

I do do. It was hella cheap. It's like in a tub.

[Adam]

It's like the absolute cheapest, grossest.

[Blake]

But I know what you're saying. Sometimes you kind of want it some.

[Adam]

That now I kind of. Yeah, sometimes I'm. I wouldn't mind getting the absolute shit that camel.

[Blake]

But yeah, budding ham.

[Ders]

Where do budding. Like, is this like a grocery or like a.

[Adam]

No, no, but it's like a. Anywhere but you got. It's the cheapest, cheapest.

[Blake]

Dell.

[Adam]

Yeah, buddy.

[Blake]

I remember that. It Was so goddamn cheap.

[Ders]

I need to see a label.

[Blake]

I think it's just red lettering.

[Adam]

Yes. So that. That ham shank was. Was damn expensive.

[Blake]

Yeah, for sure.

[Adam]

But the whole thing was. It was a really fun, fun gig. I'm like, it's a blast. And I'm assuming we got paid for that. I.

[Blake]

No, we paid him.

[Ders]

We got paid in me.

[Blake]

We bought every dish.

[Ders]

Yeah, that was an expensive.

[Adam]

I mean, that would be appropriate if we paid. We should have probably paid, but I think we got paid.

[Ders]

Did you guys know it was over when it was over?

[Blake]

Like when the music started playing?

[Ders]

Yeah, I kind of just was still eating and like, vibing. As you guys know, I like to do a lot.

[Adam]

You were vibing? Yeah.

[Blake]

You were vibing your ass off, dude. I was almost like dirt.

[Ders]

You're.

[Blake]

This is live and you're vibing pretty hard.

[Ders]

Put yourself on vibrate. Yeah.

[Adam]

What did you guys watch any of it back?

[Blake]

No, I have not seen it yet.

[Adam]

Yeah, my Chloe was watching it when I got home because she thought it came on at 7, but it came on 7pm yeah, Eastern Time.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam]

So she was confused. So she turns it on thinking that I'm going live now. And I just came through the door and she's like, oh, I just started your. Why are you here?

[Ders]

Doesn't know what's happening.

[Adam]

She freaked the out.

[Ders]

Who are you?

[Blake]

Lies off the handle on you.

[Adam]

When I will ask, when do your kids start to see you on television? He will and know that that's like not just a normal thing. Because now my kid. Because my. Those Price Picks commercials are airing all the time. And also he was watching the, you know, Dinner time live with Chloe.

[Blake]

That's cool.

[Adam]

And nothing. He just kind. You're like, there's Dad D. And he goes, right.

[Ders]

You're saying. And you want him to give you what you need.

[Blake]

There's dad. He thinks Maron.

[Ders]

I feel like it's different now because like all you can throw anything on the TV, right? Like the TV, you can watch YouTube. You can watch Post. People do like slideshows of their. On their tv. When you're like at their house, it's like watching their video. So it's like, dude, a little less like, whoa, daddy in the box on the wall.

[Blake]

Do you think anybody like programs their children to think that they're on TV and they're just kind of like playing something off their phone and they're like, this is Daddy's TV show. Dad 100.

Biggest celebrity in the world, and then they go to school and they're like, actually, my dad is the biggest celebrity.

Do we need them. Oh, I know. I've had enough.

[Adam]

I'm so damn sick of them. Cancel.

[Ders]

They need to be knocked down a peg.

[Adam]

Cancel. Culture is coming to get down.

[Blake]

I hope so. It's about time, Adam.

[Ders]

For your sake, I. I hope one day he just loses it and hugs you, but gives you a big hug and goes, I'm proud.

[Blake]

I hope you earned those.

[Adam]

I was expecting. I was. Admittedly, I was expecting a little more because he saw me in the price.

[Blake]

Come through the door.

[Adam]

Like, I was.

[Blake]

Come on.

[Adam]

I was like, well, it just came on the tv. We were watching football. And I'm like, oh, look at. Look, there's data. And he's like, huh?

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Truck cars.

[Blake]

You good?

[Ders]

I know. I know, dad. You're a Hollywood elite. Yeah. Hey, I'm going to be, too.

[Blake]

Hey, call me when you're a tractor. All right.

[Adam]

Come. Yeah, okay.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam]

If you are ever a trash truck, then I'll respect you. Okay.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake]

Then maybe we can talk. But these commercials are Boo.

[Adam]

Boo. All right.

[Blake]

It's not happening.

[Ders]

I do like that you try and get a John Deere ad like, that night. You're like, isaac, here's the deal. It didn't land. It didn't really land.

[Adam]

Please get me a sanitation commercial. A Local sanitation commercial, Cherry pick commercials.

[Blake]

I like.

[Adam]

Blake. Are those fashion glasses you're wearing? What's going on? Are you.

[Blake]

Several choices? If you guys.

[Ders]

I like. One is not to wear anything.

[Blake]

I mean, I have these. I could go with my. My Oakley. It's just.

[Adam]

Well, those are sunglasses. Those are sunglasses?

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake]

I've got the.

[Adam]

I've got.

[Blake]

Of course I got the blue blonde.

[Adam]

Those are. Those are sunglasses.

[Ders]

Ye. Adam, I know what you're asking, and I'm wondering too.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blake]

Oh, are these. These are. These are actually Teddy Spencer, my good friend from kindergarten on.

[Adam]

Are there lenses in there?

[Blake]

No, no longer.

[Ders]

Did he die?

[Blake]

No, he didn't die. Here's the lens. It's very scratched. I couldn't see. I'm down to one lens.

[Ders]

Okay, so you're going for a look.

[Blake]

Yeah, I am.

[Adam]

That's what I love about you. You're not afraid to go for a look.

[Blake]

Okay, well, here's the problem. My eyes kick fucking ass. And I'm really bummed on it. Like, I want my vision to start to deteriorate.

[Adam]

Deteriorate.

[Blake]

Because I want to be able to wear glasses. I really want to.

[Adam]

Why?

[Blake]

Because they look fucking cool, dude. It's like kind of like Jeffrey Dahmer chic. I'm like into it, man.

[Adam]

Yeah, you did. You did always have a weird affection for serial killers.

[Ders]

Somebody help me. Yeah, you read books about them, right?

[Blake]

Yes, yes. Well, it comes from when I was a young child called my aunt. I actually have the book, My aunt Arlene.

[Ders]

I used to hold squirrels underwater.

[Adam]

I used to kill squirrels.

[Blake]

Now let me get this. Let me get this.

[Ders]

Yeah, it comes from one.

[Adam]

Oh, by the way, my. I think my mother in law ate my.

[Blake]

You're what?

[Adam]

My hamon. Oh.

[Blake]

Oh.

[Adam]

And devastated, because she. She just ate 15.

[Blake]

It's a community ham.

[Ders]

That's one way to die.

[Blake]

She's like. It was. All right, so this is the book. I grew up. My aunt Arlene had this book in her house, the Encyclopedia Serial Killer. Very weird.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake]

And you know, when you were a child and you're in your aunt's house and you have alone time, you start to snoop around.

[Ders]

Was your aunt a man that wore a woman's face by any chance?

[Blake]

Not that I recall. Not that I recall. I mean, it was a little loose skin, but yeah. And when I would like kind of search, snoop through her book case, I would find she had like a lot of serial killer stuff. And this one just spoke to me.

[Ders]

Like, without even opening it.

[Blake]

No, there's pick there's always pictures, you know, and there's like.

[Ders]

Do you see pictures there, Blake?

[Blake]

Yeah, like. And I don't know, it just like, it was just like.

[Ders]

I don't see anything, dude.

[Adam]

Okay. Those photos, by the way.

[Blake]

There's our boy J.D.

[Adam]

Yeah, our boy. He's a.

[Blake]

He's a terrible man. He's an evil, evil person. These are all very evil.

[Adam]

Goes without saying, by the way, that stuff does it. I don't understand your affection for this because it doesn't speak to me even a little bit. Because serial killers aren't cool.

[Blake]

No, they're terrible.

[Adam]

But we've covered this a little bit. Just got very angry with me that I am like. My affection is for like, like thieves, like bank robbers and monsters and stuff like that.

[Ders]

Right. Who just kill people like willy nilly.

[Blake]

Yeah, they're just part of the, part of the crime.

[Adam]

They're like background part of the crime syndicate.

[Ders]

Yeah, it's just collateral damage.

[Blake]

My killers are like getting off on it, dude.

[Adam]

Yeah, they're. They're like horny. Killing little girls. Like really that, that. My killers, my killers, they would kill your killers out of. Because they have a sense of morality.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Because they'd be like, not in my neighborhood.

[Ders]

Right, right.

[Adam]

We don't, we don't do that. Not here.

[Ders]

And then your killers also would just go next door to the bank and kill anyone who looked at them cross eyed. Well, the money.

[Adam]

Yeah, like that, that's cross. Not my killers, sorry, we're out of money. Like you are.

[Ders]

Right. They would kill the killer out of like morality and then.

[Adam]

Yeah, their sense of morality.

[Ders]

Their sense of morality also sends them next door to be like babang.

[Adam]

Okay, well not my killers. I think you're putting some. Something onto my killers. Because my killers, they'd go to the bank, if everybody's being cool, they're just taking the money. They don't want to kill. They don't want to kill.

[Ders]

No problem doing it.

[Adam]

It. They have no problem doing.

[Blake]

Well, they're stone cold.

[Adam]

They're stone cold. Yeah. And those are my killers. Dur. Who are your killers?

[Blake]

Should I play the song?

[Ders]

I was just going to be like. Are they human or are they dancer? Who are my killers? Yeah, I don't know, like, I guess like people who just drive the wrong way on the freeway.

[Blake]

Oh, see, I don't like that.

[Adam]

Dude. That happened to me. I swear to God that happened to me yesterday. Yesterday. Okay, there's in. In my neighborhood there's a. They're oneway streets, right? And this car, I'm in a golf cart. This car is going the wrong way on a oneway.

[Blake]

Huh?

[Adam]

I'm. I stop and I go, you're going the wrong way. They stop, there's this woman, she goes, I don't know.

[Blake]

I don't know.

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

And I go, you're going the wrong way.

[Ders]

Old, older or like, like, like, no, not.

[Adam]

I mean, probably about our age, like late 30s, 40s. Screaming, I don't know. And I go, you're going the wrong. You gotta turn. And she's like. And I'm like, right there. And she turns and it was fine. The car next to me is honking at her. And I'm like, that's not helping. She was wigging the out. By the way, it wasn't just a woman. A guy was in the car too. And he's going, oh, I don't, I also don't know.

[Ders]

Right, right, right.

[Blake]

We're from London. This is where we drive on this.

[Adam]

We drive the wrong way all the time.

[Blake]

This is normal to us, baby.

[Ders]

Mental.

[Adam]

It wasn't, it wasn't in the right lane. It was, it was a one way. So they were just fully going the wrong direction.

[Blake]

Well, that sucks because what do you do at that point? I don't know.

[Ders]

You throw on sublime the wrong way. What are we doing? Okay, that's what you do.

[Adam]

I blew it. I should have put on sublime the wrong way. And then 30 seconds later, maybe less than this, I'm driving it. The. The lanes go from two lanes to one. I'm in a golf cart. One car speeds past me because they're in the merge lane. One car speeds past me, gets in front of me. The other car behind me starts to speed past me. And I'm going, dude, there's not room here. You're going to hit my little golf cart.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam]

They slam on their brakes to get back.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam]

By the way, this is a 30 mile per hour zone.

[Ders]

These are two lanes merging to one merging.

[Adam]

I need a map of little cars. Right of way. They were in the lane that were merging to get over. I'm drunk now. And so one car speeds around to get past me. The other car is going to get past me. And then they drop back and get right behind me. So I'm kind of looking at him. I look up. That car had slammed. The car in front of me slammed on the brakes because there was a crosswalk right there and there was people crossing. They slam on the brakes. I slam on the brakes of my golf cart. Which doesn't have the greatest of bra. You know, it's a golf cart.

[Ders]

Sure. Yeah.

[Adam]

It screeches to a halt. I swear to God, three inches from crushing the back of this Mercedes Benz suv.

[Blake]

That would have been four inches. You would have been ejected from the vehicle, right?

[Adam]

I would.

[Ders]

I would have flown.

[Adam]

I was wearing a seat belt. I was wearing a seatbelt.

[Blake]

Oh, okay. Golf carts have a seat belts now? Hell, yeah, they do.

[Adam]

They do the nice ones for the. For the street. But, yeah, it was. It was pretty chaotic because it feels like one minute.

[Ders]

If you're in a golf moment.

[Blake]

If you're in a golf cart and there's just cars around you, whatever happens, you're gonna lose that battle. You're gonna be crushed or completely annihilated.

[Adam]

It was. It's crazy. It's been a while since I've been in a moment like that where you're. Like. Where a catastrophe is ahead of you or you're in the middle of an accident. I don't know if you guys have had this, but I've been in a few. Horrific accident.

[Ders]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

You have so much. Weirdly.

[Ders]

What's your coma count again?

[Adam]

Weirdly. Your brain has time to really think.

[Blake]

Everything slows down.

[Adam]

Yeah. And I'm. I'm slamming on the brakes. I'm seeing it, and I'm going. In my head. I have time to go like, oh, my God, I'm gonna crush this car. I'm gonna. I'm gonna fly. Eject. I'm gonna smash into the back of it. My child.

[Ders]

I wish they served the soup first. Yeah.

[Adam]

I wish they served.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

First. My child. My wife. I, like, had thoughts.

[Blake]

Should have done the John Deere, and.

[Adam]

Then it happened within, you know, one second.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Ders]

You know?

[Adam]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Ders]

Adam, have you ever heard the saying, your life flashes before your eyes?

[Blake]

Yes.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

It's true.

[Ders]

I think that might even be. I think they. That that's what they're talking. I feel like that might be what they're talking about.

[Adam]

Have you guys had that? That. Have. Have you guys had that? Those. Those. Those moments? Because I've had that at least a half dozen times. I would say.

[Blake]

I don't. Not enough that I clocked it. I don't know that I'm ever aware that I'm.

[Adam]

You're not clocking it.

[Blake]

I don't think I'm ever aware. I'm in really dangerous situations. I think maybe I'm blissfully, like.

[Ders]

Right.

[Blake]

Not. Not aware that this kind of Shit's happening.

[Ders]

You're like a cartoon character where, like, all this. Like, you're the.

[Blake]

The baby from wreckage behind me, and I have no clue that I'm the.

[Ders]

One Roger Rabbit baby from before the movie star starts. Absolutely. Shit's hitting the fan.

[Blake]

Yes.

[Ders]

And so, like.

[Blake]

And. And Durs is thinking, yeah, Dur. Are you chunking or are you thinking?

[Adam]

Pretty wild.

[Blake]

This is a pregnant pause.

[Ders]

I had a question about the car, and then we switched gears, and I'm like, trying to go with it and not go back. And then I was like, but this is actually getting kind of boring for me. So maybe we do go back to the more exciting story.

[Blake]

Okay, let's get it. What? The car, the engine.

[Ders]

Now I can't remember. That's all.

[Adam]

Oh, God. Jesus Christ. That's life.

[Blake]

Come on.

[Adam]

Ultimate. Yes. No improv.

[Blake]

Gotcha.

[Ders]

No, it was more like the. I shouldn't have stepped out for this scene. Oh, my God. You ever see somebody step out for an improv scene and then they go, I'm the doctor. And you go, huh? Yeah.

[Blake]

I actually haven't been to an improv show in a long time time. It's kind of a bummer. I used to love going to like UCB out here on what's.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah. It's been a long while since I.

[Ders]

You ever have an improv show? Flash before your eyes, dude.

[Adam]

I mean I will say some of my favorite good improv is fine. Yeah, it's fine. I, I, it's not my favorite thing. I think I'd prefer to see a really great stand up than than fair enough. Like good decent improv. Like yeah. The best improv ever. Sure. Yeah. That'd be fun to watch.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

But what I really enjoy even better than really good stand up. Really good improv is really bad of both that to me is my absolute favorite and I don't know what that says about me.

[Ders]

Really. You get more out of it.

[Adam]

I like it more. I'm not saying I would like to watch it all the time, but if I'm gonna dip in to to UCB, I hope it's UCB 201, where they have enough skills to have some confidence, but then they're really, really bad, which.

[Ders]

Is their space work is just all over the place. You're like, oh, that's where the door handle is. Because it was over there when he came in. I. I stand up is like, here's what I. Obviously good stand up is fantastic. And I like when people are. They've just got a set, a really fucking tight set where you're like, this is. I've never heard this before. This person's vibe is great.

[Adam]

Yeah, it's a fun take. I like his energy yada, yada, yada.

[Ders]

Differently for an show. I love being like, look at these people do this all together. That's cool. Like that.

[Blake]

That's really what it's about.

[Ders]

The. The passing the ball or whatever the you want to call it, like, of zip zaps off. We're all doing this and it's all happening.

[Adam]

We're all creating this scene together in the moment.

[Ders]

And when it's good, I just go, you guys, you did it.

[Blake]

You're in awe a little bit. It's pretty cool. These guys are skilled as hell.

[Adam]

But then also, don't you find it fun when it. They're all working together and they're like, we're all working in the steel mill. And then one guy comes in, he's like, I'm Abraham Lincoln. And you're like, no, you're not.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Ders]

No, you're not, dude. Yeah, the burn down.

[Blake]

And you're like, what were you doing?

[Ders]

I instantly just go, God damn it, dude. All these other people, I know what they're going through. And I'm like, to me, that's so.

[Adam]

Funny because then you see the, like, little side eyes and little, like, glances to the people that are actually trying to work together. And then the one guy guy is just blowing it for you, dude, you are.

[Blake]

You are describing how I met, like, Thomas Kellogg. Basically. He was just, like, in improv.

[Ders]

And he would just give him a long shout out.

[Blake]

He would come to the table just with his own universe.

[Adam]

I was in your improv class. Yeah, yeah, we were in the same class together.

[Blake]

He mastered the art of it.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

And you're gonna see a lot. You'll see a lot of him on the cruise. People, get ready.

[Adam]

Is he actually coming? Is he going?

[Blake]

He's coming, man.

[Adam]

Oh, I love that it. Right, Isaac. I will say the one person that. That was like that, who then got a lot better and now he's a fantastic comedian, is Rick Glassman. Rick Glassman and I were in a UCB class.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

You know, over 15 years ago, probably. And he was so, so funny. But he would come in and just take over a scene that it's in no way what it was about. And suddenly you have to. To go with whatever the he was trying to bring.

[Ders]

He alpha'd you. Okay.

[Blake]

Yeah. I mean, that's still sort of. His lane is like a complete confusion attack. I just feel like he's mastered it much, much more now.

[Adam]

Yeah, now he's great at it. And then I told him after class because he was asking about stand up, and I'm like, I think you have to quit improv and do stand up.

[Ders]

You alpha him.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Yeah. You're like, remember how you alpha'd me in there? I'm alpha. New out here. Yeah.

[Adam]

I'm like, you can't. Can't do this.

[Blake]

You can't do this.

[Adam]

This is. I don't want to do. I don't want to see you here.

[Ders]

Hand on the shoulder.

[Adam]

And then to his credit, he did take my advice, and he owes his entire career to me. I think.

[Blake]

I think that's huge.

[Adam]

But no, to his credit, he. He did. He was at the improv all the time in the Comedy Store, and now he's a really. I find him to be a really, really funny.

[Blake]

Check out his Pod Shoes off podcast.

[Ders]

I don't know if I've ever seen him do stand up.

[Blake]

I don't think. Oh, yeah, I've seen. It's a.

[Adam]

It's chaos. It's fun.

[Ders]

Yeah. I mean, dude is lightning.

[Adam]

He was. He was on Adam Devine's house Party Season 2 in New Orleans, if I remember correctly. He, like. I forget. He had me, like, bring out a note as if, like, someone passed him a note and he had to read it on stage. I can't remember exactly what he offered you.

[Ders]

He was like, you're my. In this routine. Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

[Adam]

Totally. But, yeah, it's just like, off. It's not like a straight ahead standup set, which I think is fun. Fun for me, people.

[Blake]

I like that. I like that. I think I've seen him bring some puppets on stage too. That's. That's pretty cool. I'm always in.

[Ders]

Did he use them or did he just have. I feel like his move would be like having two puppets and then just doing stand up and then leave you.

[Blake]

Like, wondering why the hell the puppets are on stage. Yeah, no, I think. I don't know. I just.

[Adam]

I feel like we used to Do a lot of stuff like that too. When we would do sketch stuff, it would be a lot of us, you know, being in the audience, being in the crowd, acting like we're part of the crowd.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

You know, having plants in the crowd.

[Ders]

You.

[Adam]

I think just that stuff is just.

[Blake]

Keeping the audience on their toes, on their tippy. I'm guessing we're like the Cirque du Soleil of comedy. It's really.

[Adam]

That's so well put.

[Blake]

Thank you.

[Adam]

That is so naked, grandma.

[Ders]

Have you guys seen Cirque du Soleil? Oh, I saw Cirque du Soleil a few years ago. It's. It's a little sexual.

[Adam]

Oh, is it?

[Blake]

Come on.

[Adam]

Chubbed, brought.

[Ders]

No, brought my boys. And it was like, oh, where are they?

[Adam]

Getting chubbed for sure.

[Ders]

And I give. I always give a little fist bump when I know something's.

[Adam]

I pause. I didn't want to say it, but Blake went right for it.

[Blake]

I mean, come on.

[Ders]

That's okay. I mean, the serial killer book reader. Yeah, we expect this.

[Adam]

He's asking about children's hard penises. Very cool.

[Ders]

It was a lot of, like, grinding between sword swallowing.

[Blake]

Are you sure you saw. You just brought him to a burlesque show?

[Adam]

Yeah, it was in this strip. It was in Vegas, but a little.

[Ders]

Jerk me off gay. I saw jerk me off gay. It's different. Fuck. Sorry. I mean, it was in an alley, right?

[Adam]

Yeah, it was. It was in a strip mall. It was outside of Vegas.

[Ders]

It's the thing where they jump up and down on, like, a mattress full of maggots.

[Blake]

It's like a big blue and yellow tent.

[Adam]

It's.

[Blake]

It's always in a tent. It shouldn't be in an alley.

[Ders]

I saw, like, downtown la in, like, a theater or something.

[Blake]

Is it.

[Adam]

It's not in a theater. I saw a big, beautiful theater in Vegas and stuff.

[Blake]

Well, I saw it. I think the show I saw was called, like, Allegria. You could look it up when. That year was. It was bad.

[Adam]

No, that's an allergy medication.

[Ders]

Y.

[Blake]

Maybe. I saw the Prozac show.

[Adam]

It was crazy.

[Blake]

No, I remember it had, like, a duh. It was like a dove with, like, human eyes. That was like.

[Ders]

I saw bluecho. I think.

[Adam]

Yeah, absolutely. It's a good one.

[Blake]

But it was way back in the 90s.

[Adam]

In the 90s.

[Blake]

The was mad French, dude. It was like the most French I ever saw.

[Ders]

And maybe that's what I mean by sexual. I feel like French people. It's just.

[Blake]

Oh, it's just nest Right?

[Ders]

Yeah. It's on from say.

[Blake]

Oh, dude, it's a bagel.

[Ders]

Like a. You carry around a baguette. That's just a big dick.

[Blake]

Everyone knows.

[Adam]

Wouldn't mind shoving that down my throat. Gobble, gobble.

[Ders]

There's all those cats in the windows. That's just in the window.

[Blake]

What was the kind of. They were pulling off? Because I remember like it was. Their whole thing was like, we don't have any animals at the circus. It's all just like what, gymnastics?

[Adam]

Basically. Yeah.

[Ders]

No, the people were the animals, baby. What kind of stuff? You know? You know, it's all the like, like there's like the tr. The. The seesaw where they like launch each other hella high in the sky. Then there's the one that goes around. It's got the two circles up on top and they like run on top and whatever.

[Adam]

So essentially they just do like circus. Yeah, but like it's, it is a circle, I think. I know, I know, but it's. Is it real? But what is more than just regular circus?

[Ders]

There's grinding. I feel like I said this.

[Blake]

There's no animal. There's no animals.

[Ders]

Yeah. It's just acrobatics.

[Blake]

The clowns aren't like, like neon. It's like they're, they're French clowns. They like don't talk.

[Adam]

And I do hate that now. Circuses are like, there's a faux pas to go into to like to take your children to a circus. Because they're like the poor animals. The poor animals. I'm like, you know, hold up.

[Blake]

Just turn into Ozzy.

[Adam]

How fun was it when you were a kid?

[Ders]

Go ahead.

[Adam]

To go to the circus. You see a giant elephant, stand on a ball all over. It was the best, dude.

[Blake]

I mean, was it? I, I don't feel like that's what.

[Adam]

Oh, did you not.

[Blake]

What I.

[Adam]

Did you not go to the circus as a child?

[Ders]

I went for Gunther Gable, Williams final farewell tour.

[Blake]

Excuse me.

[Ders]

This like Austrian blonde like 80 year old dude in a blonde wig who would just whip lions. And I was like, this dude's jacked and cool.

[Adam]

That's awesome.

[Blake]

I mean, okay, that is cool. It's a lost art. Like for sure.

[Ders]

This is in the 70s.

[Blake]

So he would like whip the. He would whip the. Out of the tiger and like make them like stand up and shit. Right.

[Ders]

I believe it was lions, maybe it was tigers.

[Blake]

But it really, when you step it out, it's kind of stupid. It's not that cool. Like I'd much rather watch flipping and shit. You like watching tigers get whipped? What are you, serial killers?

[Adam]

No.

[Ders]

Yeah. Let me see if you're in my book.

[Adam]

It's not, it's not about the whipping. I don't love the whipping. I'm saying there has to be.

[Blake]

You just said you like the whipping. You like, you like prodding the elephants till they so much that they did not.

[Adam]

I did not say kind of what I heard. Putting words in my mouth. Okay.

[Blake]

I'm just trying to figure out what the hell you like about these animals in captivity being forced.

[Adam]

I liked going to the circus as a kid and seeing all the animals perform tricks. Cuz at the zoo, they're just lame. The zoo's actually pretty boring. They're laying there. They're. They're laying in their. It's like pretty disgusting. I want to see him. Hey, put a, put a show on for me and my child.

[Ders]

Child.

[Adam]

Right, right. And you know I suck. I will say that's one of the bummers of that of, of where we've come as a society.

[Blake]

Oh, that's one of those. That's kind of the major one right now.

[Ders]

For me.

[Adam]

For me that's the biggest one is where are the circuses?

[Blake]

Yeah, I get that. Well, they're, they're French now and they're very artful. And you should go.

[Adam]

Yeah, it's maybe too horny for my, for my little kid, you know, I think you're gonna.

[Blake]

I think he's going to like it.

[Adam]

Or is it the right amount of horn?

[Blake]

I think he's going to like it.

[Ders]

Even going to the zoo now. I'm like, what's, what is the clock on this? This is over. These animals in here.

[Blake]

You think zoos are done?

[Ders]

Yeah, dude.

[Blake]

Well, some zoos are and now.

[Adam]

And yeah. And you're like, man, people like hate zoos. You're like, this sucks. The zoos, it. The Omaha Zoo is one of the best zoos in the country. It's either, it's always either number one or number two. Back and forth in San Diego have. Yeah, those are the things. And it's, it was. That zoo actually was the.

[Ders]

Right. But that has like a legit safari, right?

[Adam]

Yeah, there's like a legit safari until the winter. And there's like monkeys. No, it's all indoors. And the, the monkeys like will swing on vines and we'll just like.

[Ders]

All indoors.

[Adam]

Yeah, because they keep it. It's this temperature of the rainforest. So you go in and it's like hot and misty.

[Ders]

Can you imagine living your Life all indoors.

[Blake]

Yeah, Biodome, dude.

[Adam]

Yeah, Biodome. Essentially it's Biodome.

[Blake]

One of the best movies of all time.

[Adam]

Yeah, I don't disagree with that.

[Ders]

But aren't they trying to get out?

[Adam]

It's the Henry Doily Zoo.

[Blake]

Yeah, the whole movie. They're trying to get out.

[Ders]

But then there's a zoo in India. I watched a fucking YouTube video the other day that like some billionaire built. That is insane. It is like 10,000 acres or whatever. Like, it's humongous and it's got everything. And it's just some billionaire who's like. Like, I got all these animals and he's like rescuing them from like other places. And like. So it's kind of a sanctuary or whatever. Yeah, Todd just put it in the chat.

[Adam]

So the zoo run by the Indian billionaire is called Ventara? Yeah, sure, sure. Why not?

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Might as well call it Ventara. That's kind of a sickness. A large wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center owned by the man. The. The Indian man's. And his name Anat and Bonnie. Bonnie. Son of Mukesh and Bonnie.

[Ders]

You gotta watch it.

[Adam]

I think you got it. Yeah. I thought I nailed it. Yeah.

[Blake]

I'm kind of on board with zoos that are like. Yeah, like rehabbing animals. Like.

[Adam]

Well, all zoos do that. That's like part of, you know, zoos.

[Blake]

Not all zoos. There's some zoos out there that's. That are, I think.

[Adam]

Sure. There's Tiger King zoos, which, by the.

[Blake]

Way, kind of a cool zoo.

[Adam]

Fun would it be to go to.

[Blake]

A Tiger King zoo?

[Ders]

Cool.

[Adam]

It would be so fun.

[Ders]

I went. I went to the one outside Vegas for the MGM lions and it is sad. There was just a lady with like a beach bag feeding ground beef through the chain link fence to these animals that were like.

[Blake]

It sounds like our episode of dinner time Live. Dude, it was that meat.

[Ders]

It was that.

Malcolm Gladwell here.

I recently recorded the first episode of.

[Ders]

Smart Talks with IBM where I learned how AIA agents are joining AI assistants as a major productivity tool. Let's start with AI agents. AI agents can reason, plan and collaborate with other AI tools to autonomously perform tasks for a user. Brian Bitzel, an expert from IBM, gave me an example of how a college freshman might use an AI agent. As a new student, you may not.

[Adam]

Know how do I deal with my health and wellness issues? How many credits am I going to get for this given class? You could talk to someone and find out some of that, but maybe it's a little bit sensitive and you don't.

[Ders]

Want to do that, bissell told me. You could build an AI agent, a.

[Blake]

Resource for new students that helps them.

[Ders]

Navigate a new campus, register for classes, access the services they need, and even schedule appointments on their behalf, which in.

[Blake]

Turn buys them more time to focus.

[Ders]

On their actual schoolwork. We can see patterns.

[Adam]

Patterns of how agents and assistants can help employees and customers and end users be more productive. Automate workflows so they're not doing certain types of repetitive work over and over.

[Ders]

Again and streamlining their lives and making.

[Adam]

Oh, dude. So I'm going to. Dylan, Right? Changing gears here.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Dylan Riola, the quarterback of the Nebraska Huskers.

[Ders]

Got it.

[Blake]

Let's go. Go Big Red.

[Adam]

He's a fan. He reached out. He's giving me tickets to the game. So I'm going. Yeah, I'm not going. I'm not going this weekend for Michigan because I can't. I'm drunk. Which is going to be such an epic game. Who.

[Ders]

Who do they.

[Adam]

Yeah, Michigan is Michigan. So Michigan's ranked. We're not ranked.

[Blake]

Wolverines. We're talking the Wolverines.

[Adam]

That's right. God, that is right.

[Blake]

God damn.

[Adam]

We are. But it's. It's supposed to be a really tight game, and everyone's saying that Nebraska has a real shot to beating them. And in that case, it's a real conversation on whether or not we're going to be in the playoffs because our rest of our schedule. And look at this hat.

[Ders]

What game are you going to?

[Adam]

I'm going. The week after is a bye week, and then I'm going to the Michigan State game, which also should be a good game, but all right.

[Blake]

Every week's a bye week for me.

[Ders]

Michigan State, they're. They're slick. I don't. I always hate them. Whenever they play Wisconsin, it's always a barn burner. Dude. It just goes down to the last thing, and then they do a. Hailman. Put it on.

[Adam]

Oh, my.

[Ders]

Hey, look at this guy. I mean, I'm gonna come.

[Blake]

That is one of the coolest things.

[Ders]

This is unreal.

[Blake]

Adam just put on a. A stocking cap.

[Adam]

How sick is this hat?

[Ders]

That's freaking dope.

[Blake]

You know what?

[Adam]

It's incredible, dude.

[Blake]

Do you remember on all that there was like, the pizza face dude.

[Adam]

I do actually kind of remember that. It looks.

[Blake]

It looks very similar to the. The pizza.

[Ders]

Todd, can you pull up the pizza face guy from all that? Yeah. That's amazing.

[Blake]

Is this homemade?

[Adam]

Are these bulk like, I saw this online. It was someone, I think on Etsy making these. And so I think someone actually made this.

[Ders]

This is how you need to rob a bank.

[Adam]

And my buddy Zach, I wish I was pizza on Instagram. Please give him a follow. He is also wearing this dude. So we're going to look insane. And I think they're going to do the thing that I've done before where they're like, I'm the celebrity of the game, where I go down on the field and they. They feel me. I think I'm going to wear this. You have to.

[Blake]

You at least.

[Adam]

They're like, Adam Divine. And people are like, what is that?

[Ders]

How do we know?

[Adam]

What is this? Yeah, I'm gonna come. So I'm. I'm pretty excited about this.

[Blake]

I will say there that opens up so many opportunities for you. You could have a whole alter ego, stand up career with this thing. You could probably start your own break off.

[Ders]

Blake's always thinking of career.

[Adam]

I like that. Always thinking, I love this comedy career.

[Blake]

This is your glasses, man.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Oh, thank you.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Do we even explain what it is? It's a crocheted corn husk. Like, corn head. And it looks insane.

[Blake]

You look like an ear of corn.

[Adam]

I do. I look like an ear of Gordon?

[Blake]

Yes. And if you're aware of all that, it's. It Kel had a character named Pizza Face. It. It gives me that vibe. It gives me that.

[Adam]

I'm looking at the photo right now and I feel it's.

[Blake]

You're giving slightly different pizza face.

[Adam]

Yeah. But I'm hoping it's a little chilly and this actually comes.

[Blake]

Has the family seen you in that yet, or is it too terrifying?

[Adam]

Oh, by the way, I came out, I thought I was going to kind of scare Beau with it a little bit.

[Blake]

Congrats.

[Ders]

You came out, huh?

[Blake]

Congrats. All right.

[Ders]

Finally.

[Adam]

Thank you.

[Blake]

The water's warm.

[Ders]

It's been a.

[Adam]

So I. I came out of my office wearing it. I thought I was gonna scare Bo. He ran up to me, gave me a big hug and started laughing hysterically, like, laughing, laughing, laughing. And I'm like, this kid is the man, dude.

[Ders]

Yeah. He gets It. He gets it. Does it? If, if you needed to can it roll up into, like, what would kind of be a fine winter hat situation?

[Adam]

I don't know. Let me try.

[Blake]

Well, don't ruin it.

[Adam]

It.

[Ders]

I don't, like, live a little, pal.

[Blake]

I'm sorry.

[Adam]

I, I.

[Blake]

Well, I don't want.

[Adam]

That thing is priceless.

[Ders]

No. So, Adam, you could just have it on and then just roll it up.

[Blake]

Well, his headphones were on.

[Ders]

Well, then he takes the headphones off. Yeah. There's my guy.

[Blake]

It also looks similar. What is the.

[Adam]

Oh, my God.

[Ders]

Get your ass to Mars. You look like Arnold from Total Recall. That's totally.

[Blake]

Wow.

[Adam]

Honestly, not mad at this. Yeah, sick, dude.

[Ders]

Get your ass tomorrow.

[Adam]

No, that's sick.

[Blake]

That's sick, brother. So wait, I'm sorry. I missed. I, I missed the info. Is this an Etsy purchase? Is the. Are these made in bulk? Is this official Huskers gear?

[Adam]

Let me find. It's not official Huskers gear. I, I kind of thought it was.

[Blake]

Etsy, but you can get this on Nebraska.gov.

[Adam]

No, Zach sent me the link. He. He's my buddy. He's the. He's the one that finds stuff like this. He also wants us to buy matching fedora. Red fedora hats.

[Ders]

Yeah. Is that a thing they do? That's brilliant.

[Blake]

That's brilliant.

[Adam]

So we might also buy that because we're there.

[Blake]

Stylist. Because I love all the swings he's taking.

[Adam]

I can't. I, I, I can't find where he sent this.

[Ders]

Wait, is. Are the fedoras a thing people wear to games or. This is his, like, I think the band move.

[Adam]

No, I think. I think it's a, A thing that, like, Bob Devani, our code coach from, like, the 1970s, 1960s, he would wear a red.

[Ders]

And so is the rule, like, 10,000 fedoras per stadium.

[Adam]

And by the way, I don't think anyone wears the fedora. I think. I think Zach is just like, this could be our thing, and we're having, like a. It's me and him. It's gonna be. It's just the two. It's. It's just the two of us. So it's gonna get back off the leash. Oh, yeah. We're gonna just go wild.

[Blake]

Kind of like a two man.

[Adam]

And. And Zach was like. I was, I gave him the option. I was like, hey, we could get our own hotel rooms, which was kind of my. My choice. Or we could share, you know, to save him a little bit of money. And he was like, yeah, let's just share. And so now we're. Everybody's coming sharing rooms. We're gonna be there for two nights. It's gonna be absolute chaos. Oh, yeah. I'm so excited. We're. We're flying into Omaha.

[Ders]

Does he know you just came out?

[Adam]

We're. We're driving to Lincoln. It's a. It's about 40, and they're in the middle of that drive. In the middle of the country, there is a giant barn that is a steakhouse that we're gonna stop and eat at.

[Blake]

Hell.

[Adam]

At like 7 o' clock at night. And I'm so excited about it.

[Blake]

You guys are gonna have a great time.

[Ders]

You and Blake. What would you order at this steakhouse.

[Blake]

At the stick out? Probably chicken teriyaki. They have that. That could be pretty yummy.

[Ders]

Teriyaki actually gets stopped at the border of Nebraska. It is not allowed in.

[Blake]

This is not coming in, buddy.

[Ders]

Why don't you tear that yaki somewhere else, okay?

[Blake]

You can keep that in Iowa. All right, buddy. It's not coming across this border.

[Ders]

I did see a funny onion headline the other day that was like, I don't know if it was Iowa, Nebraska.

[Blake]

But how do you know which ones are onion headlines at this point and real headlines, but go ahead, Go ahead.

[Ders]

Hey, fair enough. Yes, points.

[Blake]

Thank you.

[Ders]

And it was like, Iowa leaves hot dish at the border of Nebraska after making too much food. And I was like, that's classic.

[Blake]

We got it. Hey, points to the onion.

[Ders]

Yes, points. Too good.

[Blake]

The onion is still around. I thought the onion was gone. It's just not a physical paper for.

[Ders]

No, they're alive and well.

[Adam]

No, the onion is still around it. They send me actual newspapers.

[Ders]

There you go.

[Adam]

So I get the. The onion delivered to my house.

[Blake]

That's cool. I didn't even know they gave that option anymore.

[Adam]

I'm sure if you reached out or. Or paid money, they would. They would give it to you.

[Blake]

Tell them, you know, Adam, I'm going to. I know this guy.

[Ders]

Any take backs or appreciations or. David Chang? Slams again.

[Adam]

I'm trying to find the name of that steakhouse, dude.

[Blake]

Oh, well, shout out David Chang. The dude makes really awesome dishes look so easy. Like, I don't think we even realize, like, we're just kind of like chatting him up and he's making biscuits. Biscuits. Biscuits are difficult to make.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake]

Like, you can biscuits up 100 different ways and he just whips it out while carrying on a conversation. So the dude is a wizard.

[Ders]

And. And you know, I Don't want to be this guy. But I was like, no dessert. Right.

[Blake]

That's the first.

[Ders]

I couldn't. I couldn't be more full.

[Adam]

That is the first thing that you.

[Ders]

I couldn't be more full. And I was like, I do need, like, a pazuki or something. Like, what. What's happening?

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I will say it. It's very impressive, by the way. It would have taken me unreal. I mean, hours to make any one of those.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Like, the fact that he Very quickly. I mean, the burger is the easiest one, right?

[Ders]

Sure.

[Adam]

Grilled the burger.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

But then, like, with the. The. He made the sauce. Yeah.

[Blake]

He elevates it so good.

[Adam]

Yeah. He made the bread.

[Blake]

Made the bread. The bread was awesome.

[Adam]

Made the bread.

[Ders]

The bread looked like a. Like a dirty dick, but then it tasted like a clean one.

[Adam]

Yeah, it tastes delicious. Okay, so I would like to shout out. Shout out David Chang. And I hope I'm homies with him now. He was homies with Blake. I hope I'm homies with him.

[Ders]

[Adam]

Yeah. It kind of showed, though. He had never seen workaholics because he was like, oh, Ders. Do people call you that? I've never heard that. And I'm like, I almost laughed.

[Blake]

Maybe he was being faced. Facetious, maybe trying to be cool about it.

[Adam]

No, he wasn't. I could tell.

[Ders]

That's all right.

[Adam]

And that's. And that's fine. That's fine. But.

[Ders]

Okay, when do I get to be calling David then? Hopefully now.

Okay, get rid of those. Some big Nebraska knows how to cook some beef baby, you better go live round the bend. It's the home of the testicle festival, so. Home of the testicle festival.

[Ders]

Yeah. By and shout out to the guy in the picture.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Boss band.

[Blake]

It's Dennis in a tutu.

[Adam]

He's a guy wearing a, a tutu. A bald bearded man.

[Blake]

Now is that your eating? I'm guessing that's your eating testicles. Not like you're eating with your testicles out. Or is it like all the above?

[Adam]

Yeah, I'm guessing, I'm guessing there's a eating. Oh, Rocky Mountain oysters are like a thing that they do there. Which by the way what a fun, what a fun way to start the night is you go there, you eat a, you eat a big steak, you have some Rocky Mountain oysters, you have a, you have a couple beers. Yeah, I get, I get behind the.

[Blake]

Have minutes, eat another Rocky Mountain oyster.

[Adam]

Then we get to Lincoln. Then it's one night of fun, you know, you know it's the first night we're going to go maybe a little too hard and then the next day the, it's game day. Are you going to leave the Walking Distance? Yeah, I'll probably.

[Ders]

You're hungover, the mask on, everyone's going to go haha. And you're going to go.

[Adam]

And it's. And it's, you know, it's Nebraska. It's my hometown. I'm or my home state. I'm so excited to go back. It's been, it's been two too long.

[Blake]

It's gonna be badass.

[Adam]

Big shout out to Dylan Riola for hooking this up.

[Ders]

I wonder if there's any mix ups about the testicle festival. If someone shows up for something else and then they're like.

[Blake]

Never mind, we actually eat testicles. And he's like, that's what I was brother.

[Ders]

Can I look at the menu?

[Adam]

I would like to say I'm Dylan Riola. I, I Reached out. I don't know if I reached out or.

[Ders]

Or.

[Adam]

Or if I constantly dming. If I was constantly dming, but somehow he was like, oh, I didn't know you're. He's like, you're from Nebraska, question mark. And I'm like. Was a little offended. I'm like, that's your whole thing. That has nothing to do with me being from Nebraska, Blake. So that didn't make any sense, dude. But I didn't. But, yeah. So big but big shout out to Dylan Raiola for giving me these tickets. I. I cannot wait.

[Ders]

And this is the course quarterback.

[Adam]

The quarterback.

[Ders]

Now I'm invested. Now I'm watching.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Oh, he's like the guy who kind of looks like my home.

[Adam]

That's right.

[Blake]

Oh, yeah. This guy's cool.

[Adam]

Kind of throws like him. Yeah, he's trying to steal his ste's.

[Blake]

Okay. I love it.

[Ders]

Here we go. And if they win, you're saying the.

[Adam]

Rest of their seasons, it's pretty wide open. Until I think the second to last game or maybe third to last game, we play Penn State. And right now I think they're raked number two.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam]

So that.

[Ders]

How many teams go in the playoffs this year? Is it 16 and now or playoff?

[Adam]

I do not.

[Ders]

That's funny. Blake.

[Adam]

I'm so bad. Thanks. I'm so bad. Todd, can you find out how many teams go to the college football playoffs?

[Ders]

The almighty dollar keeps changing it, I tell you.

[Adam]

But I. I'm telling you, if we. If we could have a. A ten win season, that. That would be absolutely huge for us. 12 teams and get to go into the playoffs, that would be massive for us. And Matt Rule, always in his third year of coaching, all of a sudden that his teams become. They go from good to great.

[Blake]

I just hope everybody on the team is getting a good education, passing grades and, like, really learning and that. That's getting paid for football. Now. That's my hope.

[Adam]

All right. And that's another episode of.

[Blake]

This is.

[Adam]

Big shout out Jimmy Kimmel. Love you, dog.

[Blake]

Okay. Hell yeah.

[Adam]

Love you, you dog.

[Blake]

Lil.

[Ders]

Dude wipes because little butts make big messes. You do anything for your kids, right, guys?

[Blake]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Ders]

Even more important than that, when they go number two, go with the number one in clean for little dudes, new little dude wipes. The flushable wipes for kids are gentle enough for little cheeks and strong enough for toddler streaks.

[Blake]

Oh, gosh, you guys. You know we're always watching our kids back.

[Adam]

Yep, always.

[Blake]

But what about their back sides?

[Adam]

Only when there's poop in it, not like a weird way.

[Blake]

Yeah, well, that's why there's Little Dude Wipes, the Flushable Wipe for kids. They're free of chemical binders and alcohol so they get to the safest possible clean. And my little butt could use the clean. Trusty me. We got a lot going on these days and you know I'm just as stinky as my kids.

[Adam]

Kids can get stinky. And so can Blake.

[Ders]

Totally.
